    To the scientist the program is a tool, to the programmer it is a product.

    A lot of the code I write as a scientist, are essentially sums of logarithms.

    What the fuck have you people been doing for all these years?

    Apparently, they were being mismanaged.

  5. Compared to netbooks on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1

    Slightly lighter, smaller screen, no proper keyboard, no expandable storage, less powerfull processor, similar battery life, no support for Beowulf clustering. Did I forget anything?

  6. Re:Heh... on Apple To Face Challenge At WWDC · · Score: 1

    So Apple, as a newcomer to the industry, is now making others in the same space play catch up to them. Real competition is a good thing. Definitely Palm, MS, Nokia and RIM had more than enough time and expertise to make a iPhone like device before Apple did, yet they didn't. So now they get to play catch up. I hope they do create real iPhone killers, because it then puts Apple on the spot to improve.

    Actually, they are only utilising the expansion of a niche (touchscreen smartphones) which (the expansion) Apple caused. Apple did not create the market, but was first to create a product to be good enough. At the same time other players are working on other niches, some more, some less profitable.

    It's a bit like when Beatles had it's first success (no I'm not that old), other record companies started to sign similar bands. While keeping the still profitable parts of their other catalogue also.

  7. Re:iPhone shortcuts on Apple To Face Challenge At WWDC · · Score: 1

    I find it very easy to add appointments to my iPhone, you did simplify the palm version above a fair bit, you didnt have to hit "save" or "done" or an equivalent on your Palm?

    Of course not. Actually the steps 1 and 5 in the GP are both optional on most Palm devices.

    Actually, this particular model outselled iPod. All models.

    I once used a $300/hour internet connection without even thinking it was costly. But that was in Portugal, before the uro.

    This is only useful within the organisation. What if most of your meetings were with outsiders?

    I think there are other kinds of integrattion that are more important. I want trac -like integration with wiki markup. Proper, persistent links to issues and issue comments in request tracker. Similarly to files and their versions in revision control system. And vica versa.

    More specifically, in about two years. Apparently the successor to N810 will have a phone in it. Source: local newspaper. Does not seem to provide any sources, so apply a self defined amount of salt with it.
