  1. Re:Cool on Hiptop/Sidekick Sequel Unleashed · · Score: 1

    Eventually. Once t-mobile enables sync, someone is bound to reverse-engineer it.

  2. Re:No Sync on Hiptop/Sidekick Sequel Unleashed · · Score: 3, Informative

    Dude, its not Danger's fault. Several other carriers, such as Suncom already offer it. T-Mobile's been waitin for awhile to finally do this, and have gotten quite a bit of grief for not doing it sooner. All it requires is opening some ports up on their server. there is both a Windows solution by Intellisync, and a mac solution by Mark/Space.

  3. We've seen this already on Handtop PC Announced Using Transmeta Processor · · Score: 1

    Guess what? this isn't a new company. Look at the top of the page, and you will see that this is just Vulcan putting a name to their product.

    Plus, I just love the realistic 'Users'. Personally, I don't think any mother would want/need to be "always connected, so she can keep an eye on her business while catching the Little League playoffs."

  4. Has anyone thought of this... on Integrating A GUI Into An Existing Medical Device · · Score: 1

    I was wondering if anyone has thought of the fact that although this may or may not work for medical devices, it can definitely work for other applications.

    I'm making a small, portable mini-itx (or maybe the Nano-ITX board when it shows up) computer as a server, and was initially going to code my own interface for a serial LCD with keypad in PERL or C, because I couldn't lug around a huge LCD panel when I wanted to connect it to a network and set IP addresses. Then I saw this and realized it would be infinitely easier to do things like change IP addresses with an amulet display than use something with a serial LCD. Yes, its more expensive (about $350), but it was either that or a tiny, cramped display.

  5. OS X? on Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Questoin: Is it possible to run OS x on this thing? It would be so cool to make your own modern g4 Cube running OS X!

  6. Mac question on Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board · · Score: 1

    Question: Is it possible to run OS X on these?

    Seriously, it woudl be so cool to build my own mini-itx cube runnign OS X!

  7. You are surrounded by them! on American Science: Addicted to Pentagon Cash? · · Score: 1

    People have to remember: Anything swung in the right way/fast enough can be used as a weapon.

    Military inventions have grown out of things used for everyday use, and vice versa. Its just life

  8. Re:Bad Support on Barnes and Noble Drops Ebooks · · Score: 1

    Books like that probably wont make money because I can get them from project gutenberg

  9. Re:Heat on Third Party Selling Upgraded G4 Cubes · · Score: 1

    The kit comes with a fan that is supposed to be very quiet, but i don't know the exact dB.

  10. Re:Bush making money... on Revising Spectrum Rules · · Score: 1

    yep. According to my teachers who attended my school when they were kids, the narcs had their own radios.

  11. Bush making money... on Revising Spectrum Rules · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Look. I don't want to seem like a troll here, but I think that some of you are going a bit over when saying that like, the only reason that he is re-evaluating the spectrum is because he wants more money.

    I recently did an FCC lookup in my town, and the Board of Ed. owns about 8 frequencies. I did some asking around, and someone said that they used to have radios on those frequencies to talk around the campuses (yes, i probably didnt' spell right), but they have replaced those with some FRS radios that are about 10 times better.

    Think of all the frequencies that are being used up with things like UHF TV stations (move them all down to the VHF spectrum), and other things. Now, think of how crowded the unlicensed spectrum is (in my house, the wi-fi goes down when someone pick up the cordless phone).

    Yes, Bush may get a bit of money, but wouldn't you want to have all of that nice, juicy bandwidth covering your area?

  12. Re:So, on Wired To Publish Slammer Source Code · · Score: 1

    Actually, about a year or so they posted a small blurb "how to decrypt a dvd in 8 lines of PERL", and showed it off

  13. Good idea on Wired To Publish Slammer Source Code · · Score: 5, Interesting

    While the code has been available for a while on the internet, Wired is probably doing this to make an example of what Windows users are facing, and are probably going to explain as much as they can with the code.

  14. What porn? on When N2H2 Mistakenly Calls Your Website 'Porn'? · · Score: 1

    I'm acessing this site at school, and I can't see it! What are you talking about?

  15. yay on Networked Refrigerated Microwave · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    fun

  16. My favorite? on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    Antitrust. Nuff said

  17. Good idea, but not where the emphasis should be on Opencroquet · · Score: 1

    It is a good idea, but I think that instead of creating a whole new way to interact with the computer in 3 dimensions, we should instead spend our time and efforts on creating a 2d user interface which is more advanced. We need to start from scratch with a new 2d gui, not a 3d gui. Besides, the stuff in Minority Report was cool. When can we get to that stage?

  18. Will it work?? on Multiple Monitors for iBooks · · Score: 1

    I would like to know what success ANYONE has had with this. I would usually dive right into this, but as I hold my iBook dear to my heart (also, when I heard reports of a 500 MHz version dying, the one that I have), I would like to know how well this "patch" works. If it doesn't, no biggie. I'll just keep on saving for my TiBook.

  19. respectful on BBC Interviews Linus Torvalds · · Score: 0

    I have always respected the BBC for their reporting. This just completely proves it to me. I also like that there is a complete interview that is recent somewhere, as opposed to snippets of conversation from a year or two ago. This stuff is just mind-boggling.

  20. touch on Tiny Integrated Home Theater PC w/Display · · Score: 1

    I was just wondering: Why didn't you use the touchscreen model from Xenarc? It would make much more sense to do it that way.
