Yes, I want to sepnd $800 for a device that has a 5 hour battery life WITHOUT the backlight, a wasted compact-flash port, too big to fit into a holster OR pocket OR pda-case, because I'm a sony junkie. Some people have something called balance. Like the Kyocera 7135, a work of art. Sony just throws shit on and doesn't know when to stop. Sony R&D: "Hey, that's odd, I just noticed our pda doesn't perform laser surgery. Let's make one that DOES! We'll make the old models obsolete and sell this as a standard!" Sony PR: "Approved!"
My school's been listed on/.! Not to mention it has it's own private Slashpage inside(Since the beginning of this year, natch). Now, is there enough people clicking from USAToday to the site to slashdot the site or is that even considered a/. effect if it's through a link in an article?
Side notes: The school is closed Sunday and is OPEN 14 hours a day. Very few students stay all day, though. And we also AREN'T accredited.
Give 'em Lilo with a dual boot to Mandrake and Win98SE. That's what I do. 98 is a standard. The drivers exist without needing rewrites, DOS isn't emulated, it isn't all bloaty and slow and you can put passwords on shared network drives(UNLIKE XP HOME). Until I see something like "Doom III requires XP," I'm keeping 98SE/Mandrake.
But are you ever going to spend 4 days away from your home? The only question I have is for button usage, I'd wish they'd just add the 6 common to the front, 8mb and maybe a backlight(unless it already has one). There's a BUNCH of graffiti programs made for the Treo devices(First palms missing the area, sans the laptop-thingie), like NewPen, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Nintendo has already changed it's method of distribution YEARS ago. That is why they are appealing. The EU contacted NOE, and they cooperated and fixed the problems, now the EU is back stabbing them.
Everything's been peachy with me so far. Why is it other people have problems? A lot of people also complained about UpstateGames.com REALLY REALLY REALLY late GBA shipments last year, but mine arrived early. For once, I'd like to actually get on the butt end of these problems so I can relate.
Heck, Tetris has been a part of distributed computing for the last decade. It's being ran on school calculators, Diablo II, keychain devices, cell phones, sides of buildings. EVERYBODY is helping to compile this complex riddle. Eat your heart out Seti!
When technology goes past current methods of revenue, we must stifle the technology, rather then letting go of what made us money previously, just like movie previews on VHS tapes, because consumers certainly appreciate being held back.
Come on, 5 hours WITHOUT backlight and including the Wi-Fi card brings it to 2.5 WITHOUT backlight. So conservative estimates put it at 2 hours with NORMAL use... how is this seperating itself from the PocketPC handhelds?
The terms may have existed, but until the advent of the internet, LARGE GROUPS of teenagers did not have access to it. Now their primary form of communication is in this horrible selfish form. Why selfish? Because no one uses "r" because it's easier to read than "are."
Remember, these are P2P programs, not just music P2P or media P2P, so I guess Battle.net is going down too. ANYTHING with nodes is going down. Oh no! Time for p2p "camps". Seriously this sucks. *checks OpenSecrets.org* Ashcroft's biggest contributor is RENT-A-Car? Although that doesn't add up to the 8.9 million he has on hand... because those pirates certainly take away from that...
I haven't seen a serious reply to this yet. Other than installing boot-sector viruses, this is as bad as copy protection can get. All we can hope for is for Philips to use their 1/2 ownership of the CD to PERMANENTLY revoke Sony's privelege to use the CD stamp logo on it and allow customers to return it without question, also having Sony claim COMPLETE liability for all damages caused. But what about the countless sound systems and CD players that can't play it? These systems are less intense than a computer and could actually have permanent damage. Sony, I have lost faith in you. This event alone(completing ignoring the artist herself) has made me begin a personal boycott against you. Any company that creates CDs with the intent to sabotage ALL computer users should be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law. I don't care HOW much revenue is lost to pirates, assuming and treating all your customers like criminals is NO way to conduct business.
His passing has made me remember another group so full of imagination, Jay Ward and Bill Scott. These two men were the ones responsible for Crusader Rabbit, Bullwinkle J. Moose, Rocket J Squirrel, Snidely Whiplash, Mr. Peabody, His boy Sherman and all the rest. No one person alive anyore can claim to have produced as many characters as either Ward or Jones. May they rest in peace.
Well, I'm at a loss for words, although it HAS been a while since I saw a marriage proposal online. The only other one I can think of is at Demisecomics.com and Penny-Arcade.com. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if Nightlightpress.com's guy pops the question soon, but I'm not pressuring him.
Console people make the majority of money on the media sold. To accomplish this they charge a premium to produce the CDs or DVDs, say $5. So, for every $50 you spend on GTAIII, Sony already made $5 from Take2 Interactive. That's how the NES and SNES were so successful. Nintendo cartridges had the same price, so they made money, even if a game bombed on store shelves. The rest of that $45 goes to publishers, be it Sony themselves, or Square, etc.
By copying games, Sony gets nothing, well... maybe the game you play required the developers to buy a PS2 Dev Kit and minor licensing fees, but those were paid for 2 years ago for most companies!
I see Divx as the next big one. Mainly because the bitrate is customizable and the clarity I get is beyond that of quicktime or any other movie format, regardless of display size. It's really unfortunate how people claim it's designed solely for illegaly copying movies just because it offers the most options.

Maybe now all the crappy games might get fans!
"GUESS WHAT? DAIKATANA 2 IS IN THE MAKING. I CHECKED IT OUT AND IT'S BAD-ASS!"

Sure, it looks like an SNES, but that's because in that same year the SNES came out. He probably heard about it and wanted to make his own.

I think we all do at one point. I mean, most retail burners come with one. At least mine did.
