Now if your cell battery starts to get low while chatting to your friend while driving, you can just crank up your A/C, roll down your window, and hold one arm out the window while you eat and change the radio station with the other.
Or for when your battery is a little low, but you just really need to call someone - you can blow on your phone for a few minutes, then pass the phone to a friend (if you have any left) and they can call 911 since you're hyperventilating.
Seriously, in public transportation - of the times when you can hold your phone up to a window - you might want to purchase some tshirts that say "I'm an idiot, steal my expensive phone after I get off the bus". Any other times, you should be able to find a much more efficient and timely manner of charging your phone. Windows down + A/C up == your car is burning excess energy.
back in 1997 my computer got infected with a virus from chaos.rar - a program used for swapping battle.net servers.

That said - this is GOOGLE man. I daresay they could easily staff a small department of people who just sit there all day and GOOGLE for adwords before they're purchased and determine if they are trademarked / competitors / etc.
*THAT* said - we just proved it's a nonissue. They could only reasonably search so much, and any search so limited would likely only rely on trademarks/etc. If you're buying adwords with a trademarked name, it's your own problem - as well it should be. https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer .py?a nswer=6118&topic=26
If this becomes law, it's (imo unjustly) Googles problem - and they have to see about doing the ridiculous room full of monkeys researching adwords 'thing'.
Interestingly enough - couples are allowed to divorce at any time.
If it hasn't been 15 years, then it's percentage isn't settled yet (and, also, I'd say it's fairly untested) - but if it was run on 100 couples and 95 of them have already divorced... I'd say they chose a bad sample set.
If it predicted none of them would get divorced, 14 years ago, and none have yet - then it can't say anything yet - no data points are definite.
So - I watch a few fansubbed anime tv series. Most notably - every Wednesday night (or so) "Naruto" is fansubbed and torrented. It had aired hours before in Japan, on broadcast television. A group of fansubbers was kind enough to translate the spoken Japanese to a pretty good English equivalent - and encode it up in a convenient movie format.
This content is not, and perhaps will not, ever be available to me otherwise. Yes - I've a general interest in learning Japanese. No - it won't be enough anytime soon (if ever) to be able to enjoy these shows without translations.
When series are licensed by companies, the fansubbers (generally) shut down [or at least have the decency to go 'underground' - where I don't care to follow] - this is pretty much how I know something has been licensed, and I suck it up and deal.
So, legally - morally - etc. What are peoples opinions? Am I a bad evil man?

You'd think he would bust out a nice pocketpc and play bejeweled if he's bored. Maybe doodle in it, either in a paint program or one of the various notes programs.
My analysis? He was practicing writing with his alternate hand - because he was bored. I tried this over the weekend, and my scrawl looked similar to this.
I dunno - I don't consider myself all that anal, but my notes are generally a lot less flamboyant than that - a little more organized, legible, useful, etc.
That said - I still think audible should be congratulated for continuing to allow you to re-download anything you've purchased, even after you've cancelled your contract.
And, as child posters have said - apple absolutely does track your purchases. In fact, they even warn you about re-purchasing a song you've already purchased.
After the software starts up, they move their mouse around the screen clicking - this generates audible "marco"'s. Once their mouse is over the map, it returns "polo"'s.
At this point, the user can hold shift and enter "icyhot mode", whereupon their mouse clicks generate audible "warmer" and "colder" and various incarnations of such descriptions, to help them find the route that the computer has generated for them.
Another assistive technology is in the works for assisting users in knowing when an image has fully loaded, so they know they can begin using their map software. This technology is called redlight greenlight, but is having trouble finding non-suicidal testers.
No - the problem is the powerbook doesn't work well with the 'old standard' memory. How can you blame memory that works fine everywhere else, worked fine when it was *the* standard, and only stopped working when Apple started using some new feature/etc/blah of the newer standard.
Firefox has a rendering bug with Slashdot. Slashdot uses an older HTML standard (probably about 2.0 with how kludgy it is, but still). Just because slashdot uses an older standard, doesn't mean firefox shouldn't work with it. If it's not going to - then they either need to be clear that they don't work with Slashdot, fix it (it'll be fixed in 1.1), or make it otherwise clear so people don't keep bitching about it.
Firefox = Powerbook 'old' Memory = Slashdot
They're right - the memory isn't bad - and it's not an "old standard" - it's just as possible that the newer memory won't work in systems where the old one will.
Bottom line - if there are backward incompatible changes, you should be building your hardware to avoid them - or even better, the name / physical format should change so people don't confuse the two.
used to have a "$100 off mp3 player" signup deal - which was pretty slick (signup was for a year at 15 or 20/month). Now looks like it's just a free trial - sucky.
The cool thing is you can always come back and re-download the files - unlike certain unnamed music services - even if you no longer have an active paid membership.
As for DRM - it wouldn't surprise me if their software isn't riddled with DRM and DRM-like limitations. If you've ever tried interfacing a MD player with your computer you've enjoyed horrible software that limits a songs transfers to the player at a whopping 3 (e.g. you can have a mp3 on 3 MD's before you can no longer). The best part is - you have to 'check it back in' - which consists of confirming that you wish to delete it and letting it delete through the software.
I once made a disk and the software crapped out towards the end of the transfer - because there wasn't enough space (gee, could we have tried calculating that beforehand? Nah!) - lo and behold, I couldn't delete it. Even an older player was still aware of their shitty DRM feature and refused to erase the disk. FOR NO REASON. The software utterly refused to remove it, because as far as it saw - it hadn't written it. The player wouldn't remove it, because it saw that it was 'special'.
I imagine you'd run into the same problem if you had to do a reinstall. Good one Sony.
(and yes, I bought an ipod and am much happier for it. Sony could make an ipod killer - but they sure as hell haven't tried yet.)
(ripped from another posts summary, but it was mine so it's fine - I give myself permission)
Put it this way: usb host, you slap a 5gig usb pendrive in, there's your hard drive space if you want it - cf still open, sd still open, no buggy sd driver.
Now, the power requirements of that may, or may not, be reasonable - I can't say. I expect when usb pendrives are made, they show fairly little concern for power requirements.
Yes, the SL-6000 has USB host - as well as builtin wifi - what's your point?
The main differences between this model and the older clamshells can be summed up as such:
From a clamshell user perspective, I am and was of the opinion that if one difference had to be noted, it would be the USB - for the aforementioned reasons (e.g. you can't reasonably get this with that). You could get a cf usb host adapter card previously, but then you're out your cf for wireless/etc. (although you could then use usb, we're draining more and more and more power as we go here).
I don't really equate 32/64mb of ROM with 16 ROM and 4gigs - the hard drive is indeed in place of the userspace ROM, but it's certainly not in place of it.
If I had to pick two main features, for clamshell users, then the hard drive would be the second. From a win-win / 'this is a good thing' / 'nobody should be bitching about this addition' standpoint - the usb host wins. People do have complaints and concerns (however unfounded or not) about hard drives in portable devices.
I personally have an Ipod and have no problems, so I'd have to say it's probably not much of a problem - but it does lots of lookahead/etc. tricks to ensure good battery life. A PDA has to spend battery life to do that, and it may not be useful (I doubt this tiny marvel of a drive has a meaningful on disk cache/buffer).
Put it this way: usb host, you slap a 5gig usb pendrive in, there's your hard drive space if you want it - cf still open, sd still open, no buggy sd driver.

That's funny. I haven't had SharpROM loaded for quite some time, so I can't exactly relate the problem - but it was basically "default list view shows name and phone numbers, and there's no way to enter phone numbers". Essentially, it asked a bunch of DATING information (gender, birth date, job description, etc.), and had a button that opened a large comment field.
I could beam stuff over from my phone, and it populated the fields, but there was nowhere to change or view the information other than the list. I handed it around to several people showing this lacking, so if the way is there - it's either absent in the C700's early ROM, or it really isn't there.
I don't consider the inability to enter contact information into a contact application being jaded because it doesn't work the way I want - I consider it being realistic because it doesn't work, period.
My guess is, your sales force doesn't have any problem because they imported / beamed all their information, and they enter it elsewhere first. It's possible, however, that that was just a display bug or something strange in the early C700 Sharp ROM, and has since been fixed, in which case we're talking about completely different experiences - and the complaint is no longer valid.
That said - I don't know why you launched into a tirade attacking me as if I were saying one shouldn't get a Zaurus. We're on the same side of things hardware wise, trying to convert me to what I'm already using is a waste of both our time. I'll try the latest SharpROM for my C700 (since I obviously use the C760 over the C700 - fixed processor cache and more battery / ROM space) - fair enough?

With piracy resulting in only 4% loss, why are the studios making such a big deal?
Macrovisions licensing agreement stipulates that 5% of all DVD sale profits be given to them for the usage of this new anti-piracy technology.
I agree with your point entirely.

As other replies have noted, you can just eval the JSON.
Well, you can also just use an XSLT to translate the meaningful XML into JSON, or whatever other standard your heart desires.
So, you're both right.
