Between the ultra high pressures needed to produce the very high temperature water and the associated nuclear (nucular for Dubya types) energy, I'm afraid we'd be inviting disaster and a sitting target for terrorists.

So now the doughnut eaters will be voyeurs.

Audiophiles know about such products intended to block RFI, which sort of looks like light gray blotter paper. A little bit goes a long way in high end audio applications, and not everyone agrees they like the effect.

I've been using HP calculators ever since buying an HP-35 in 1973. I wandered off the path a couple of times but not for long, because RPN just makes total sense.
The tremendous success of the HP-12C in business is proof enough. And ask any HP-41 user how he likes his machine. The thing is a tool that helps you get a job done in as few steps as possible.
I use a 48GX or 49g+ every day. I much prefer the 48GX keyboard and the location of the Enter key (although I'm slowly getting used to that), but everything else about the 49g+ is better: much faster, much better and slightly larger display, and lots more 'stuff'.
Unlike some people I don't mind the 48/49 implementation of RPN (actually RPL) compared with the old style 4-level stack, but a lot of old timers refuse to use the RPL machines that started with the 28. At the same time I still like the 41/42 a lot. There's surely a place for machines like the 32S II. It remains to be seen how the 33S with its odd looking keyboard does in the marketplace.
I'm one of a very few who have an HP PDA based on Linux that never made it to production. Display contrast isn't very good, but otherwise it's decent but not feature laden because the project got killed and people lost their jobs. For this reason it's heartening that someone's talking about doing an HP handheld running Linux, and I'll support their efforts any way I can. It's about time for the user community to pitch in - this reminds me of the PPC 44 project talked about what, 20 years ago?

Sounds like business will be booming...
introduce one that acts like a lawyer?
Nah, forget it. There are some things even a robot won't do.

Microsoft will hold this up as an example of how much faster Windows is than Linux...or at least how much faster it reboots.
If you did, you'd have all the food groups:
- Fat
- Salt
- Sugar
- Caffeine
- Beer
Yum!
Wake up and smell the coffee!
I think "learn how to cut-n-paste" would be the appropriate admonition.
Whatever floats you're boat.
He didn't say it is worse THEN useless, he said it is worse THAN useless.
Learn how to spell! If we don't do so, how can we expect others to learn and use our language correctly?
and think of the day Microsoft gets their grubby hands on it, when it'll then be a noose?
but my Windows machine locked up.

33% of nothing is nothing.
What the hell, let's make it 50%!
Microsoft announced they will release their first real operating system, dubbed Windows 2008, in 2010.
Tiny Tim's "Tiptoe Through the Tulips"?
you can't download vinyl LPs.
I'd sure like to screw him the way he's done it to everybody else.
But CDs don't burn too well in my fireplace.
What's next, the Kindling Edition?
Where are the marshmallows?

He also wrote a followup article, That Would Be Cool, in 1995.
Whether or not you're an HP handheld enthusiast like Jeremy and me, the articles are well worth reading, perhaps again and again.

Are they gonna sue DoubleClick Software? Or the other way around for trademark infringement?
I can't see what wood will do better than paper, other than eventually warp and crack. After all, it has a grain.
I think I'll keep my Sound Labs for the ultimate fidelity and music listening experience.

Not there. I'm tired of my car crashing!
