Some UK online retailers have SIM free P800s for 430, $667 CAD. Because they're not SIM locked they should be usable on any provider's network. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I despise talking about myself. I already know everything about myself and see no point in repeating this information, especially to someone with whom I have nothing to talk about. I find it extremely aggrivating when someone tries to get me to 'open up' by barraging me with questions about me and my life. Not all people love talking about themselves, use caution.
Before someone tries to point out that I just spoke of myself for my personal pleasure, the purpose of this comment is to tell seomeone else they're wrong and I'm right, one of the few things I truly enjoy.
Li-Ion cells put out 3.7V nominal, plus or minus a little depending on that particular manufacturer's recipe, cell age etc. NiCd and NiMH are ~1.25V nominal, alkaline ~1.5V nominal.
Lithium cells require special discharge regulation, if you discharge them below ~2.5V they'll be premanently damaged. It's unlikely they'll ever be drop in replacements for alkaline or Nickel based batteries.
if you use the regular formula for force of gravity:
F = G * m1 * m2 / r^2
acceleration ends up as:
a = G * m1 / r^2
which contradicts your statement that massive objects do fall faster, since only the mass of Earth affects the acceleration of m2.
Why are you using the scalar equation? Also, wtf is a scalar equation? How is it derived from the original equation?
Do you mean that because the golf ball attracts Earth more than a feather, the golf ball will accelerate Earth faster, and hence they will collide sooner, making it look like the golf ball fell faster? Is that what the scalar equation is for?
Probably not. But she can pay me $Tivo_fee - 5 / month and I'll do it for her. I'll even throw in my pr0n scripts at no additional charge. XML, as you mention a few posts down, would solve this as well.
Put it this way, I don't want to miss my weekly Buffy fix.
Weekly? I get it 6 times a week. The first season is showing so now I can get my oldschool Buffy on.
Somehow I don't think that Homo Sapiens hunted down and wiped out the Neanderthal, but you may be right about the competition for resources.
As I recall, with my doctorate in "Watching the Discovery Channel", homo sapien and neanderthal coexisted during the ice age, or at least that's when neanderthal died out. The disappearance of neanderthal is most likely attributed to either direct competition over resources (homo sapiens somehow getting more food, using our larger brains to deveolop better hunting/gathering strategies, leaving little/none for neanderthal), or the enormous food requirements of neanderthal (neanderthals being built something like Andre the Giant) not being supportable by an ice-age ecosystem, or a combination thereof. In either case, neanderthals died out without homo sapiens defeating them directly via combat or an intentional behaviour. Not to say homo sapiens don't endeavor to defeat any/all competition, but I don't think it played a large role in our selection as the dominant primate.
Please take with some salt, as this is via Discovery Channel/my poor memory.
I don't buy your argument as you present it. "Little room at the top?" There are a thousand fold more Homo Sapiens on this planet than what were there when the species wiped out the competition. At that time there was enough room for all.
Since we've developed this thing called agriculture, it's possible to have a thousand-fold increase in the homo-sapien population. Before agriculture, when I imagine the neanderthals and homo-sapiens were competing, I imagine there was very little room at the top.
Maxtor's definition is actually correct, a gigabyte is really 1 000 000 000 bytes. All drive manufacturers use pure powers of 10 for counting drive space because that's how HDD engineers count and there's no need to go 2^x when you don't have to.(ie there's no ICs to deal with on the magnetic level, or something like that. I'm tired.) It's just assumed when dealing with computer components that giga=2^30, when the textbook definition is 10^8 (if these numbers are wrong it's because I'm too lazy to open xcalc and check)
No one has really decided on a good nomenclature for differentiating between 1024 and 1000. Gibibyte anyone?
I'm sorry for being anal, but there's still 45 minutes to kill at work and I can't find another place to weasel into the conversation.
and playing an FPS with a thumb stick, ick. micros~1 probably isn't going to release a keyboard/mouse for the X-box anytime soon, in a vain attempt to debunk the "X-box is just a PC" thing.
I can hear the kiddies whining already, how they can't compete with PC/Mac HALO players, because their thumbstick is useless for aiming compared to a mouse.

Not really, they measurethe rate of acceleration of the chain.

that's supposed to be mpeg<1|2|4>
Some of us only run windows for games. It'd be nice if we could watch this movie in mpeg instead of rebooting.
It's a big rock. I can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock this big.

Sure, you can build a custom PVR system, but where are you going to get the data from to run it?
how about tvguide.com. It's not hard to stir up some perl and wget to get all the showtimes. I did something similar to automatically download pr0n.

There is always Planetside . It's going to be what HALO was supposed to, or at least that's what I keep telling myself.
Are there still plans for HALO to become an MMOFPS as originally intended by Bungie? Or is it just going to become another 32 player DM thing?
uhhh... there's this crossplatform online FPS already, it's called Quake 3 Arena, maybe you've heard of it?
not mmofps, but there's Planetside for that.
and playing an FPS with a thumb stick, ick. micros~1 probably isn't going to release a keyboard/mouse for the X-box anytime soon, in a vain attempt to debunk the "X-box is just a PC" thing.
