Because the speaker and mic add value to the PDA. On the other PDA, the phone is the added value part.
The phone one costs more, of course, because a phone is wort more than just a mic and a speaker. But of course to activate the phone-feature you have to buy a separate speaker-and-mic unit, and plug it in...
A standardised click-click-click method of installing. A single text-file inside the tar.gz, in which the sources come from, and a gui tool that interpretes it.
Well... Spamming individuals is already illegal in Finland, but has that stopped (Finnish) spammers? No. They still make the same excuses ("This email can't be considered spam because spammers lie").
What would help is to have the authorities take spamming more seriously. Even if they know who the spammer is, they are unlikely to do anything about it...
Well, there are these things called optimising compilers nowdays. It is not guarenteed that you can make better code "by hand." Of course, compilers can't help with stupid coding, but often, when trying to optimize code, you produce unreadable, unexpandable, and unreliable code.
Who in here honestly thinks that people buying an Xbox just to run Linux on it would make any noticeable bump in the sales?
Yeah, hahaha, I know, MS hasn't sold many Xboxes anyway, so a few slashbots buying one just to stick it to MS would double their sales. Hahaha! But seriously though, does anyone think they can really influence MS's sales figures?
What? Do you honestly think when you go and buy an Xbox, the clerk behind the counter pushes a magic button, and an Xbox factory churns out just one Xbox that is delivered to you post haste?
No.
Microsoft has made (and paid for) hudreds of thousands of Xboxes beforehand, and have them sitting in a warehouse somewhere, waiting to be delivered to customers. They might actually be in a backroom of your local game-boutique, but anyway, Microsoft has already lost money making the consoles. What you are doing is giving them back some of that money. Think about it...
This would work if you have absolutely pure (as in distilled) water, and you could be absolutely sure that nothing would dissolve from the pipes, or the heatsink, to the water. So in practice, it doesn't matter if you have salt water in your water-cooling rig...
How was it? Oh yeah, the villagers in Black and White learned to play soccer on their own. Except they didn't. They added the feature afterwards. (Or did hey?)

No, the frequency is 1000 times higher. the processor itself is a lot faster because it executes more than one instruction per clock-cycle.
Why do all applications have to look the same?
Because then you don't have to search for "exit" or "help" You just press the "X" in the top right corner, or press "F1"
It's not just look. It's look and feel.

I wonder how powerful these are....
I call the same directory "music."
And yet it only has mp3s...
Got a better solution?

Your point being...?
This is Blizzard. Do you think they haven't had development hardware from day one?
What do you think Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft said? "Blizzard? Nope, never heard of them. What games have they made?"

Unless, of course, you don't mind being that .00000001% whose vote is misinterpreted.
That's not that bad. If every person in USA (and I mean every person) voted, there would be, on average, 1 misinterpreted vote every 36 elections.
It certainly is a lot better than things are now.
The math: People in USA 278,058,881 (July 2001 est., CIA world factbook), times 0.0000000001 = 0.0278058881, times 36 = 1.0010119716
People please, think for a moment before pulling percentages like that out of your ass...
Closed source bad. Open source good. We get it already. Why didn't you use the Bill Gates as Borg -picture while you were at it.
Does anyone else feel ashamed for Slashdot editors for posting articles like this?
So why do corporations lose money at all? They can always write off any losses on their taxes, right?
What huge surge?

You are sadly mistaken. The closest thing to a killer app on the Xbox was Halo.
Who in their right mind would think that Linux would sell more Xboxes than any game released on the Xbox.
You were wrong.

Or you could just go and buy the official Playstation 2 Linux kit. And you don't have to possibly ruin your console by installing a modchip...
And the best part is (because we all know Microsoft is eeeeevil), you are not giving Microsoft (or in slash-speak: "Micro$oft") any money.

Yes, this is pure hype.
