I use a Bluetooth mouse, and with regards to mobile phone - it beats the shit out of IR.
I think the big issue with acceptance of bluetooth is peoples misguided understanding of it's uses. It's not another 802.11x, it's short area wireless. "Personal Area Network" as I've heard it refered to.
I think this is brilliant for these types of uses especially without the worry that someones on the street outside trying to hack into your bluetooth equipment.
Instead of a pack of fuck tards menacing the streets with their lack of driving skills; let's have a bunch of fuck tards in much larger vehicles creating much larger menace on our streets.
The fizzer worm information minister soon after came forth to announce that the site had in fact not been taken over, and that the fizzer worm was more fertile then ever.
Risking the imminent geek bashing I have coming my way, I have to suggest an Xbox.
Of course, it's not entirely legal the mods to get it running. But it makes a beautiful mediabox (streaming accross the network, the client I'm using looks like a hacked up Shoutcast server), DVD player, and of course - Xbox games.
I must now retreat to my bunker before the anti-MS masses storm the area. See you in 6 months.
We all would love shitfast connections to the internet right out of our bedrooms, there's no denying it.. however I believe that you should pay for the line, you should pay for the size of allocated bandwidth, but there should be no way you pay traffic costs.
Here in Australia, competition between small Telstra wholesale reselling DSL ISP's has brought the amount of "included traffic" to a bearable state. I have always thought it ridiculous that traffic should be metered. Energy, yes. Water, yes. There's nothing actually being consumed on the delivery of the traffic, so it should -not- be chargeable.

I have a wireless logitech keyboard and mouse, and the software has an option to set up a secure channel between the devices.

Being an Aussie with fuck all knowledge of american geography, I'll take a guess here. I'm assuming that they are moving from a datacentre hosted at Exodus on the East coast of america to a datacentre hosted on the West coast. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
You're absolutely right. They've mixed their terms up. The code they've written in C/C++ is proprietry in the sense that it's custom inhouse code. Moving to PHP will not change that in any sense. Moving to an OS platform doesn't mean they're going to OS their code.:)
A little offtopic, but a great security approach that I haven't seen used to often is to port-forward port 80 to a non priviledged port Apache is running on (Say, 8080). Completely removes the need for root privs.

You're just dirty on your folks, "Usquebaugh".
My daughter's name is Titania, sounds like she's been getting up to some serious mischief.
This post has way too little points, come on mods, don't be playa hataz.

If you're looking for cost effective I'd say a notebook is definately out.
Go the MiniITX. Make yourself a cool case, submit to some places, feel better about yourself and meet new and exciting people.
Well articulated pseudo racism is still racism you fucking arrogant jerk.
Yeah, right.

.. mainly due to the fact I can never come up with anything good. :-(
FP?
Are these people insane ?!
Didn't they see The Time Machine??
Ahh yes. Good old broadband.
I'm so glad Al Gore invented the internet, or Telstra in Australia here would never have invented this "broadband" thing.

Madonn', you are the peoples poet.

Where the heck is .ie? He has surprisingly good English for someone who wasn't born in the US.
Here you go fellows, an excellent example of the [hopefully minority] view that America is the center of the universe.
