I thought the c331t was a TDMA and analog only phone. Phonescoop has more details. It looks like a cool phone though, so it would be cool if they offered it in a GAIT model!
Here is somethging I have always wondered about. If GE has a class A address block, with 16,777,216 addresses available, why is www.ge.com not in that address block? Instead they are using an address in the cable and wireless 18-bit block.
cingular was never CDMA, they have been TDMA. That being said, the two phones that have TDMA and GSM (a combination known as GAIT) are the Sony-Ericsson T62u and the Nokia 6360. I have had a cingular phone for a year and a half and really love their coverage. I am on a national plan which includes roaming to analog and tdma, and I almost always have some signal. I don't care whether it is cingular, other tdma, or analog, since I don't pay any extra for it. My only complaint is the fact that calls made while off the cingular network are not billed immediately, so you might have to wait a month or two, then all of a sudden you wonder where those extra 150 minutes on your bill came from. I suppose that is probably not cingular's fault though, since they have to wait until they get the data from the roaming partners.
check usenet. alt.cellular and children have lots of info. I bet some people have made some nice detailed cell site maps. I actually have a friend who's hobby is finding cell towers, he has a big book with photos of just about every tower in the city he lives in, and he draws up maps of all the different providers. It is pretty cool, he looks at the pattern of existing towers, and says, "ok, I predict that Cingular will have a tower here", then goes to that spot, and sure enough, a tower! I had never previously heard of such a hobby, but he can't be the only one.
I was wondering the same thing. I mean I just don't see the connection:-) I suppose it must have to do with the angle, since as many other posters have pointed out, the Southern Hemisphere (and Austrailia was specificly mentioned) would have the best viewing. However, I think that is quite a reach to OCAU.
I love the maha cells, they seem to have a very good capacity/price ratio. They were the first manufacturer I saw making 650 mAh AAA batteries, but now lots of companies make them. I just got the cheap Rayovac 3 in 1 (NiCad, NiMH, and rec. alkaline) charger and it works very well for me. I have to admit I don't use them as much since I switched to a Zaurus, but when I was using a Palm III and later a Handspring Visor, I was burning through batteries about every two weeks (I read a lot of ebooks, and played a lot of games, plus I overclocked with Afterburner). With NiMH batteries, I had to replace them every week, but thats much better than throwing money away buying new batteries all the time. I meant to check out the rechargable alkaline batteries (that's why I got the triple-mode charger), but I decided not to after I saw my friend have to clean the corrosion off of the terminals (on batteries, devices and especially the charger) every few charges.
Well, why not just have the database log the records that were selected, instead of every record in the database. Select * from names where last_name='Smith' would not flag this particular honeytoken (John F. Kennedy), but select * from names would.
Yes, but I have never really seen ANY cult access-channel shows. They are almost all educational (lectures, preparing for the SATs), or just text bulletin boards. I am in the metro DC area, and before that I lived in Springfield, MO. (ok, in Sp, MO there were some high school student-produced broadcasts, but I haven't even seen those here)
I wish I had mod points, the parent definitely makes some good points. Enclosing the computers in fireproof boxes would be relatively cheap and safe. And like everyone else in this thread has said, sprinkler systems, insurance, and offsite backups are the way to go.
Convection doesn't work in free fall conditions, so you will want radiative or fan-powered cooling.

"No, no," said Frankie, "it's the brain we want to buy."
"What!"
"I thought you said you could just read his brain electronically," protested Ford.
"Oh yes," said Frankie, "but we'd have to get it out first. It's got to be prepared."
"Treated," said Benji.
"Diced."
"Thank you," shouted Arthur, tipping up his chair and backing away from the table in horror.
"It could always be replaced," said Benji reasonably, "if you think it's important."
"Yes, an electronic brain," said Frankie, "a simple one would suffice."
"A simple one!" wailed Arthur.
"Yeah," said Zaphod with a sudden evil grin, "you'd just have to program it to say 'What?' and 'I don't understand' and 'Where's the tea?' --- who'd know the difference?"
"What?" cried Arthur, backing away still further.
"See what I mean?" said Zaphod and howled with pain because of something that Trillian did at that moment.
"I'd notice the difference," said Arthur.
"No you wouldn't," said Frankie mouse, "you'd be programmed not to."
I always thought Gibson's description of "The Bridge" was a wonderful literary setting, with a very believable ad hoc feel to it. I also liked the main character (Chevette/Corvette?)'s bicycle. Those sunglasses were pretty cool too (create image without light by directly inducing current in the optic nerve/retina)

That makes sense, but still doesn't explain why an Australian computer overclocking website is quotesd in an article about astronomy.

yes that is correct. Sorry about that :-)

I was noticing that. It would be interesting to learn the the history of that article, whether the post was first or the Snopes one.

The funny thing was that she didn't just come out of one replicator, but iirc *all* of them :-)
Actually, this is a common misconception, but in fact they don't have to tell you they are cops. Check out the Snopes article for more info.
the emachines (don't laugh, it's cheap) recovery cd had a ghost image on it, and it wasn't even password protected.
This is a great quote from one of my favorite movies, Real Genius

unless of course the fire starts in the server room, but then at least the rest of the house would be safe :-)

Makes sense, since you can't post and mod in the same article
