Not really... from the Toshiba website: "...the Pocket PC e800/805 features a bright, 4.0" diagonal (240x320) or (480x640, user switchable**) color display for easy readability both indoors and outdoors.
**Only the ClearVue application supports this mode."
So, its only high-res for a certain application. It is unclear whether the screen is actually 640x480 pixels, or uses software to "emulate" this resolution...
The Borg are not some faraway enemy; we will become the Borg. Although I doubt most people would go for the collective conciousness... and our future Borg selves will probably be less ugly than on Star Trek.

Hackers and crackers are losers by definition, so it seems a reasonable explanation that they don't have the smarts to find the holes themselves.
They're scavengers; a slightly higher form of script kiddie, who looks for knowledge won by other people and then exploits it.
Um, who do you think finds security holes in the first place? Hackers. Whether they are "evil hackers" out in the wild, white-hat hackers, or working for Symantec (or whoever), they're still hackers.
True, most people who actually exploit the holes are script kiddies, but script kiddies are not hackers.
That's not what the parent poster is suggesting... you don't just return the item to a store that carries it, you BUY it, then return your DEFECTIVE one. How can they tell you didn't buy it from their store? You'll have a valid receipt...

I just got a pair of 21" Sun monitors for $100 each. They're about five years old, but work great and look great. They're no 20" LCD flat panel, but they get the job done for about 1/4 the price. Great for gaming! They'll do 1600x1200 at 85Hz, or 2048x1536 at 60Hz, heh. Much better than the POS NEC monitor I was using before...
Well, the space shuttle *has* blown up (TWICE now). What makes you think that a nuclear powered liftoff rocket would be any less prone to disaster?
The Space Shuttle is an experimental vehicle. The public perception is that is a production vehicle, and is therefore completely safe, but this is not true. Future accidents in space travel can (and unfortunately probably will) still happen. When you're flying experimental aircraft/spacecraft, those are the rules of the game. The pilots and astronauts know this, and accept the risks. They know and understand the risks, but for some reason a large portion of the public can't accept this and expect space travel to be a perfectly safe, routine thing. Hopefully one day it will be, but we have a long way to go.
And when a rocket containing nuclear fuel undergoes a conventional explosion at high altitude, the magnitude of the disaster would be overwhelming.
I agree that launching nuclear powered rockets from the surface is probably not the best idea, but launching such a craft from orbit or farther out should be pursued. Nuclear power is currently the only feasible option for exploration of the outer Solar System. It would turn a Mars mission from a many-months-long (a year or more?) mission to a mission of a few weeks. I can even think of a few examples where it may save lives... if for some reason they lose a large amount of air (a la Apollo 13) or there is a medical emergency or something, they would have a much better chance of making it back to Earth alive. A chemical rocket-powered craft would be stuck out there for months, and they'd probably be screwed.
I've got Verizon and am able to switch plans at any time without renewing my contract. I did this recently to switch from a national plan to a regional one because I'm not going to be travelling anytime soon. If I need a national plan again, I can switch to it, without any strings attached.
Important message from Belkin: In response to a recent Usenet group posting stating that Belkin spams its customers through its routers, Belkin Corporation apologizes for the concern this has caused and is taking action to address the issue. To allay customers' worries, Belkin will offer a firmware upgrade that will be available via download from its website (www.belkin.com) on November 17, 2003. This upgrade will rid the redirect completely so that no additional browser windows will appear during the router's installation process. Questions can be directed to our dedicated networking customer support line at 877-736-5771 or e-mailed to kannynmc@belkin.com.

Important message from Belkin: Belkin is aware of some recent postings that claim that Belkin wireless routers are spamming users during the setup process and periodically thereafter. It is not now, nor has it ever been, the policy of Belkin to intentionally spam our customers or anyone else. Belkin offers a free trial of our parental control feature in our routers, and to make our customers aware of the feature itself and to give them the opportunity to take advantage of the free trial, we have tried to direct users to the information regarding the parental control features. However, since this has become a source of concern to our users, and it is Belkin policy to address the concerns of our users quickly, Belkin has decided to remove this function from the routers. Each router's firmware that incorporates parental control as an option will be changed.

Beats me? Maybe there just aren't that many good musicians out there.
Well, I agree with you there.;-) Most musicians don't have a lot of talent. This requires sifting thru a lot of crap to find the good stuff, but this is no different than RIAA-affiliated artists. The problem with the RIAA-type music is they (the RIAA, or their member music companies, rather) keep most of the money from sales, whereas its easier for fans to directly support their favorite independent artists, without a middleman taking a generous cut.

I could just watch them jiggle...
Yes, jiggling hairy mouse-breasts. My loins ache for them
It looks like... *snip* ... some scary-assed monkey thing.
Yes, but does it have FIVE ASSES???
So, when this technology is used for nefarious purposes, will it be called "bad touch"?
sadly, this kind of thing probably happens all the time, heh
The Toshiba e800 already has one.

(i.e., you can't time the real parade to the MP3...even if they were exactly the same noises.)
You could if you were that guy with the baton in the front of the parade...
So, when can we expect to see purified (via double reverse osmosis!!) bottled Martian water on our grocery store shelves?
Groceries! Delivered! To your door! Did everything except put them up for you... *sigh*
