It's up to the Licensees as to what they do with their devices. You aren't going to see everyone oftering top of the line 320X320, 16 bit colour devices that play MP3s and video. The OS is scalable enough that Palm Vx devices can still be released. Palm, Inc has their m1XX line up of 'affordable' devices, what makes you think that they'll go cold turkey on those?
What we'll see from the release of this OS is a greater range of hardware available, all running the same OS.
Plus it's got 128 bit encryption, gotta be happy that they're adding security features.
Bad enough we had to put up with all those bogus posts on April Fools day, but it's been 10 days since and you're still putting these articles up. Wait a minute...this is serious?;)

Yeah, the way I see it is that if I were to take a novel like "To Kill a Mockingbird", replace all the names of people and places with new names and call it "To Get Rid of a Mockingbird", I'm pretty sure it would still be a copyright violation. So technically the code with changed labels is still a copyright violation.
heh heh. All I can picture right now is Nelson grabbing Milhouses arm, waving it and saying "Stop paying for my lunch, stop paying for my lunch". But I guess simpsons humour is wasted on you Futurama folks.
I know lots of people who still love Tim Horton's donuts, they're so much better than KK (I live in San Jose now, and I miss Tim Horton's a lot). But like you said, most people do go to Tim Horton's for coffee. Another perk is that Jesus likes to visit Tim Horton's, never see that at KK or Starbucks, do you?
The article said that there was a chance she could develop alzheimers, not that she had it already. They prescreened the unfertilized eggs for the gene to reduce the likelyhood of her child developing early alzheimers. Why shouldn't she have children if there's a chance she'll never develop the disease? How is not allowing defective people to reproduce any better than GM'd babies?
Bad enough you posted the same comment twice (here and here. But you've had both moderated to funny and 4 and 5 respectively. You sir are a karma whore. I wish I had moderation points right now.
As it turns out, MS Security is not as bad as Sun's or IBM's The article is toward the bottom of
the page. It's mostly about exploits via buffer overflow. But, as a Linux Zealot may not know, MS actually writes some of the more solid code.
From the article you linked to:
The company most frequently criticized for its SPSPs is Microsoft. And based on my analysis of the last two years of infrastructure related CERT/CC advisories, I would have to agree that this criticism is not unfounded.
Microsoft has stumbled in the area of security. Two advisories in particular make one question Microsoft's competence in software quality control. Let's take a look at each of these.
I think you took one part of that article waaaaay out of context. They didn't say Microsoft was better, just that some of the UNIXes can be just as guilty on some counts.
This quote should be seen as 'IBM and SUN can be just as bad as Microsoft' not as 'Microsoft writes solid code':
If buffer overflows are symptomatic of sloppy system programming, Microsoft may be guilty as charged, but compared to Sun and IBM, Microsoft is a paragon of programming virtue!
Now can someone mod this guy down as a troll please.
If Handera came out with a Palm V style device (with all those features) I would be a very happy boy. I know I'm dreaming, but I just hate the size of the III style devices.
I've heard FrameMaker is nice (it's what my instructor suggested in the Tech Communications course I took). There's even a UNIX version (no mention of a Linux version though).
I've received the email 2 dozen times at least now. I didn't open the attachment because the wording of the email looks like a rewrite of the SirCam message.
I'm sorry, I don't think I can respect you after you got the Orvile Redenbacher question wrong. Not to mention how long it took you to multiply 4 * 21.
The funniest part of the show (next to William Shatner hitting on the host) was when Denise Crosby was asked 'What is the national anthem of Canada?' and she replied 'Oh...Canada?'
Slashdot Mirror
Shoot yourself???
Anyone want to write an FAQ on why it should be called BSD/Windows?
I picture it being more like this:
Robber arrives.
"Robot, this is not the car you are guarding" says the robber while waving his arm in a Jedi-like fashion.
"This is not the car I'm supposed to be guarding" echoes the robot.
"Move along." says the robber while waving his arm.
"Ok, move along" repeats the robot.
And the robot moves along, not because of Asimov's second law, but because of the robbers jedi knight abilities...
