The automotive sound enthusiasts are going to benefit greatly as amplification will be much easier and cleaner with 3 times the voltage availble.

Not happening... same problem as with the power glove and DDR-type home game systems. Dancing around is great for strutting your stuff at the mall/arcade, but at home 90% of folks would rather just sit on the couch and use a joystick... at least 90% of the/. crowd, anyway.
A Red Hat salesman recently told us that the 'consumer' version of Red Hat was mostly for hackers and hobbyists who weren't concerned about stability and wanted the most up-to-date software, while the 'enterprise' version would be more stable and have a five-year product lifetime.
Why not give the Chaucer's masterpiece a try? It's huge, and it's in middle english, so instead of starting out, "When April, with his sweet showers," it begins, "Whan that Apryll, with his shoures soote..." It's a fun challenge. No, I haven't read the whole thing, really only the first part of the prologue. I had to memorize the first paragraph of the prologue way back in high school and I've greatly enjoyed having it swimming around in my brain, and occasionally reciting it at work to freak out my colleagues.

Seriously, it's an interesting idea, but if i really wanted such a device i'd get a WiFi camera (does such a device exist?) and a WiFi pda or slim laptop (not neccecarily at the same location). Much faster and potentially higher quality
Actually, I have a 7210 and i rather like it... that picture on the website looks kinda funky but it is a pretty sleek phone. Nice color screen, GSM & GPRS... lotsa frills, but it works pretty well. The only thing i don't like is that the quality of the sound coming out of the speaker during regular calls isn't that great... that's a pretty freaking ironic problem for a phone to have, but oh well. The handsfree is great and the speakerphone is pretty good. Nice toy, all in all.
I always have my green photon 3 microlight on my keychain. Fairly bright, the batteries last a fairly long time. Was very useful in my last job as a support tech, when opening up computers and installing nics and such. It has 3 levels of brightness, 3 levels of flash (i wouldn't call it strobe, the duration of each flash is too long for a decent stroboscopic effect), and an auto-shutoff mode where it flashes for a couple seconds, gives you a minute of light, flashes for a couple seconds again and then shuts itself off. The back button is a little hard to push, but not too bad. The front button just turns on the light for as long as you hold it down (like the button on the photon 1). Also check out the Rav'n light for some neat effects. Don't have one, but i've seen pictures of it.
Their website has fairly accurate information, and their description of the colors are accurate. Remember that while there is a white available, it isn't as bright as colored LEDS.
This is the first case i've ever seen where the mobo and pci cards are perpendicular to the drives (hence the 'T'/'Tee' name, doesn't look that much like a tee from the outside)... as far as accessibility, it reminds me a lot of the Apple PowerMac G3 (Blue&White) - G4 design in the way it opens up... wonder how much it costs.
I miss hyper card, we should petition for it to come back.
technically, it never left. You can still get HyperCard for $99, if you have a mac.
I miss it too, although there are alternatives (Visual Basic [shudder], Macromedia Director/Shockwave/Flash, MS Access). I remember using it to make a 160x120 animation... I clocked it at 13fps on my 8mhz MacSE... man that was hot stuff back then.;)
I recall. It was a really hacked-up version of hypercard. If i recall, Cyan was using some sort of custom Hypercard function for the color support, which did not exist at that time. Back then it was HC 1.x, with a fixed 512x342 display an monochrome.
It can't be that slow. My 166mhz pentium mmx laptop runs p.o.s.e. at around one third the speed of my PalmIIIx, so a 206mhz ARM processor should be slightly faster than that. It's slow, but it's bearable.
BTW, if you all don't have pilot ROM's, you could just download the LinuxDA demo roms and run that... j/k, the LinuxDA rom's don't work on POSE, anyway.
Wow, i wonder how many people actually got that joke... In case you're wondering, Hypercard was a program (it really defied classification) that started shipping with the Macintosh Plus. Think VB + HTML + a simple database.
Their website's comparison of their layout, T9, and standard is questionable. I did the "BE HOME BY 9!" test on my ericsson and it took exactly 18 taps, not 23.
Actually, that could really end up biting them in the rear since this communities "standards" includes goatse.cx and rotten.com.;)
While i definately don't want kids viewing porn, i don't see a workable solution. You just CAN'T sensor the net. If it gets too bad, producers of porn will just move offshore like all those internet casinos? What will they do then? Implement a nationwide firewall to filter out gambling and porn? How well would that work??
AFAIK, the first trek series to use computer models was voyager. They looked a little bit cheesy at first, but of course got much better towards the end of the show.
The only way you can tell the difference nowadays is by taking a good look at the motion of the objects. The motion of cgi models is freer, a little more calculated and perfect than plastic-and-glue models.
Sega has demonstrated a number of games for Palm OS handhelds during a keynote address at the PalmSource Japan conference.
The games were developed specifically for the presentation using Metrowerk's Codewarrior and were run from a development board using a Motorola DragonBall MX1 processor. They featured colour animation and 3D texture mapping.
Sega announced in January 2001 that it would develop games for the Palm OS as part of a strategic move to exit the console business. It has already released a number of titles for J2ME mobile telephones. Sega was keen to stress the games, which included 'Smilebit', 'Borkov' and 'Triangle Magic', were not intended for commercial release, although they are available for trial download from http://pda.sega.co.jp/index-e.html which will stay open until the 30th of April 2002.
"When a new platform is born, developing and delivering a good quality software to the market is an important factor to drum up the business," said Shoji Ueda, President, Metrowerks Japan. "I think Sega's demo software has shown a possible path for developing game software for next generation Palm handhelds. In order to deliver a critical mass of software to the market, developers need a flexible development environment tailored to their needs. And it is our commitment to support and provide them with those tools."
Okay, the Cyborg thing is cool, and I've been wanting to do that myself.
But $100,000 worth of hardware on your person, out of the research lab?? Please give your grants/donations to someone with an ounce of common sense.
Sure, i can understand where you'd want to have this around the house or even the workplace so you can see how it works IRL, but on an AIRPLANE?!? Dude, pack up your equipment in safe, padded crates, ship them with INSURANCE, and take a $600 laptop with you instead.
There's no way i'd ever have more than a couple thousand bucks worth of anything on my person outside of a controlled environment, EVER. I'm not even comfortable lugging around $3000 projectors for presentations!
The ugly truth is that airport security are little more than the FAA's version of BOUNCERS. Don't bring anything valuable on an airplane. Spend some money and ship it instead.

I hope he at least can get it publish in China or Russia where people have some freedoms left. ;)
What an absolutely pathetic thing to say.
Do some research and see if you still feel like bitching about your rights. I don't like the DMCA either but get some perspective, man.

that's a cube of 464*464*464 pixels. It's a great start, but i'd rather have a Radeon 7000 :)
