  1. Heads up display on Palmtop Nirvana? · · Score: 1

    While I'm willing to spend some money, I can't afford a decent heads up display, like the prototype glasses in the IBM commercial where the guy is yelling at the birds. Current products are expensive and bulky. And the resolutions aren't that hot.

  2. 2.4 GHz and Linksys Issues on 2.4GHz-Friendly Phones? · · Score: 1

    My 2.4 GHz phones would cause my Linksys wireless access point to stop sending/receiving.

    The solution appears to be changing the channel the Linksys works on.

    So I suspect if someone sets theirs up with an unused channel to begin with they'll avoid issues.

  3. Sidekick Java and JavaScript on New Hiptop (Sidekick II) Photos · · Score: 1

    I looked into getting the Sidekick because I want a cheap wireless browser and cheap plan. I'd pay for the Treo if the monthly access wasn't so high. Even the T-Mobile coverage isn't as good as Verizon's, the $30 unlimited data makes it very attractive.

    Does anyone know if the new Sidekick will support JavaScript? This is a huge problem (for me) with the current model.

  4. Photo faked? on USB Swiss Army Knife · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't know. Could this be an early April Fool's hoax?

    If the picture is accurate, it looks like the USB connector won't fit folded up. Looks like a bad cut & paste to me.

  5. New meaning to Spam email? on Brits Still Working on Stinky Email · · Score: 1

    Will someone be creating a new Spam filtering program, to filter out the smell of.... well, you can figure it out....

  6. Re:Won't work... on Quantum Cryptography Systems Commercially Launched · · Score: 1

    A few kilometers of dark fiber would be enough for some clients. There are pockets of industry in many cities: Financial districts, banking districts, etc. So this would be good for big brokerage houses transferring funds in downtown Manhattan.

  7. Re:let me guess on What Goofy USB Devices Have You Found? · · Score: 1

    Nope. I just get their catalogues, and noticed they always have some whacky, useless junk.

  8. pbskids.org on Interesting and Educational Web Pages for Children? · · Score: 1
