japan and korea have broadband everywhere because 90% of the fucking people live in fucking cities. The fucking companies know this so they can charge a fucking dollar less (LINUX R00LZ) for a fucking lot of people. FUCK NORTH KOREA. thank you.

Have you ever considered making Perl less like horseshit and more like dog shit?
I learned SQL (MySQL style I guess, thats all I've ever used, flame me please, its only a filesystem or something) just by reading the online manual. After you see what it does, theres really not much to it. I think the programming is more on the other end, rather than on the SQL end.

Tiqit Handheld PC
·
· Score: 5, Informative
First Handheld Computer to Run Windows, Linux or Unix OS to Be Unveiled at CeBIT March 8, 2002. eightythree, said to be the first computer that combines the portability of a handheld with the functionality and software compatibility of a Windows/Linux/UNIX PC, will be unveiled at the opening of CeBIT next week by Tiqit Computers.
According to Tiqit, although this feature was previously considered impossible to engineer, the eightythree is not a concept product. Instead, Tiqit says it has built - a mass produced -- a fully functioning x86 handheld device out of cutting-edge but available parts, designed specifically for enterprise use and immediate production. The computer will be introduced at CeBIT, the world's largest telecommunications and IT conference, scheduled for next week, March 13-20, in Hannover, Germany.
According to the company, eightythree offers clear benefits to the enterprise community. Workers reportedly gain increased mobility and function with a device that allows them to depend on a single operating system, and companies can reduce their total cost of ownership. Possessing the storage capacity and processing power to enable the extension of many software services to areas formerly unreachable, the eightythree also has the flexibility of using all of the software and hardware extensions currently available in the mainstream PC market, Tiqit maintains.
"This product will greatly accelerate adoption and use of handhelds in the enterprise," said Ian Blasch, CEO, Tiqit Computers. "It uses standard operating systems -- Windows XP, Linux or UNIX -- and is compatible with all associated applications, including legacy software. Almost anything you can do on a laptop or PC, you can do on eightythree -- only it is smaller and more mobile."
The eightythree form factor is 5.4-in long, 4-in wide, 1.1-in thin and weighs 20 oz. It is the size of a large PDA, has laptop-quality screen resolution, SMS keyboard, thumb-operated micro joystick with mouse buttons, touchscreen, a cardbus PC card slot to support all standard wireless modems, a USB port, a Secure Digital (SD) slot and internal speaker. Therefore, says Tiqit, it connects with other standard devices, from digital cameras to bar code scanners to docking stations. On the software end, it incorporates all the applications you would find on a laptop or PDA, including voice communication, e-mail, web access, PIM, enterprise applications and the ability to download attachments.
In terms of components, eightythree's CPU is the National Semiconductor Geode, 266-300 MHz, RAM is 128 MB or 256 MB, and there is a 10 GB hard drive. The screen is a 4-in 640X480 TFT (18-bit color) with touchscreen and backlight. The external monitor displays up to 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz, 1024 x 768 at 85 Hz. eightythree is powered by an internal lithium ion rechargeable battery.
My pet peeve is when the computer program is so horrible it cannot read my mind to pick out exactly what I want it to do, before I even think the thought and the do it before I have completed the thought, doing it nothingless than perfectly and surprising me everytime with a new rendered female and conjoining voice. But maybe I'm just picky..
what they failed to recognize is that the other 80 serial numbers were generated by a program written the release morning by a guatemalan hacker in cambodia.
I remember vaguely that Einstein once mentioned the probability of two scientists coming to the same conclusion at different places, trying to rule out the possibility of copying one another's work. Knowing this, wouldn't it suck if my tax dollars were going to two research agencies keeping secrets and wasting double the money finding the same thing? Bleh.
How could you possibly make a computer for under $99 (the price of DVD players I've seen at real, tangible stores) that would have the capacity to play dvds, in software mode, in linux? Riiiiight.
When I see a person that can even consume 10+ gig of information in a single day, unless this is like DVD quality video, then I will not be surprised to see
Hm I don't quite seen where you are going with this.. video confrencing at 128 kbit/s is very feasable, even with moderate compression techniques. I video confrence all the time on dual channel isdn, works great.

that is the stupidest waste of money and space i've ever read
haha you troll
Ding Ding Ding This Troll Rocks
Keep that spirit of ineficiency with Linux up and running. Screw cron, just pay a student to sit there with a stop watch and a terminal.
Now ever more wasted CPU cycles on looking for aliens with radios.
hey look, something worthwhile!
ThEY Use AMAZON.COM those Bbloodsucking BASTARDS. BOYCOTT GEOCACHE !! L1NUX!!
An excellent review. Cheers.
