... it's spherical, yes, but doesn't have keys. It has small depressions you rest your fingertips in, with a tiny button at the tip, pad, and nail of each... but I don't recall the name of the product, damnit.
It sounds more to me like he doesn't
want a PDA at all.
He wants a DAT.

And, just like television, the 'net's "stimulating and creative content" becomes less so as each day passes, and each marketer tries to take advantage in some explosion of the popularity of any of the ideas that have so far proven to be a waste of time.
they don't care or know that every linux geek and their brother has gotten a free t-shirt from a particular company
Actually... yeah, they might, particularly if the software they're looking at is something that the employees of the company may end up using. In this case, it would be in their best interest to choose a software package that the non-IT people in the company are familiar with, if only by name.
You're right, drugs *are* dangerous..especially when you're irresponsible.
Every report I've seen of Exstacy deaths, this seemed to be the case.
The person took the pill, got out on the dance floor.. and stayed there. E raises your body temperature and pulse, and dehydrates you. If you don't rest and get plenty of water, you're asking to (at least) get sick.
I'd like to know where they learned that if you're over 30 it's too difficult to click on an.EXE file and then click "Next" a few times.
Installing a typical win32 program isn't hard, and being 30 or over most definitely does NOT automatically make you too stupid to use a computer. (How many 30+ people out there are actually offended at this assertation?)
If you're too stupid to use a computer, at ANY age, you probably shouldn't... but it certainly isn't as difficult to learn as these particular Texans seem to think.
note emphasis.
they're not talking about a piece of software running on your hardware.
they're talking about a piece of software running on the larger networker between ISP's, monitoring individual packets and comparing them aganist known DDoS attacks.
this -seems- cool.. but think about it.. if they use something like that, what's to stop them from monitoring for other information as well?
... If you pop this in some kind of physics simulator, will the 'brain' think and react as it should? Could we pop this program with a real brain pattern into a robot and have a conversation with it?
What about the informtation contained within the brain? You'd have to come up with some basic set of information (instinct, so to speak); like a computer, brains don't do anything without some kind of intial starting point.
how difficult would it be to give this created brain a set of instincts?

Bingo!
They own the car. It's their choice whether or not to monitor where that car is travelling.
You don't want to be "spied" on? Use your own car!
"Invasion of privacy", indeed. In your own car, perhaps, that YOU own. When driving someone ELSE's car.. that's an entirely different matter.
When did PS/2 become Playstation 2?
:P
strange, I thought we were using PS/2's a long time ago..
my mouse is a PS/2 mouse..
Not to mention, we can't rely on HP for decent Windows 2000 drivers, as I've come to discover..
How can we trust them with drivers for Linux as well?

Mir is definitely high-speed, and definitely inbound.. but I think it will make a bit more of an, erm, impact than these planes will... :P

"Who the hell would invest two months of constant typing to create 12 MB of forged logs...."
Perhaps someone with the same mentality of those that have been trying to kill EFnet the past several -years- ?
