If the loss of Karma points *ARE* caused by troll metamoderating then surely this will stop/.'ers moderating. I have noticed the same effect after moderating and I don't think I did too bad a job! While I do not condone censorship I would like to see IP blocking rules of some sort (even with it's attendant problems) to slow down the tide of banal and offensive postings. Maybe check the IP of the person trying to post to see if they are allowed to. Or maybe force everyone to log in who wants to post and allow anonymous coward postings from their accounts. Just my 2p worth - those trolls, hotgrits, Natalie Portmans bits etc are starting to really irritate me.
Since we are discussing alternative sensors etc why not have a Hall effect sensor add-on. I'm sure the Hall effect sensor could detect the earths magnetic field then you would have an electric compass. You could even have a compass display on the palm screen. That would be of use to surveyors. It might just work...
How about having to point it in different directions for inputting of characters for those with a lorry load of patience...
I cannot remember whether the Palm has any ports but I do know that there is another licensed PalmOS machine around with a slot. The IR port at the top has been moved over to make room for an expansion slot. Sorry about not remembering the name of the company producing this but I do remember them saying that the expansion slot is their major selling point over the Palm.
