...I imported a japenese PSP to the UK just after they came out. Less than a year later, the screen started playing up. Sony UK didnt want to know (well they did, they wanted £140 + postage to sort it out as punishment for being a fan of theirs and importing a PSP early). Took it apart, and it turns out the screen cable is attached to the motherboard by a brittle plastic clip that is about 0.5mm square in cross section, and a couple of inches long, and arranged so the long length is parallel to the long side of the psp. Result? when the PSP flexes during use, the clip snaps, and the display wire falls out. I fixed it with blue tack stuffed between the wire and the back of the screen.
Sony should make stuff more like Nokia - i have seen Nokia phones survive falls of several feet onto concrete without a whimper...
I switched from desktop email software (Outlook Express) to gmail for exactly this reason. Can access same inbox from work, home, mobile phone and laptop, and even internet cafe should I want to

I use a Linksys NSLU2 with OpenSlug firmware... low power, and a great file server, uses USB2 disks. It has USB ports and can run a hub, so you could easily plug in a printer g
Surely a 'quality' encrypted file is impossible to tell from a file full of random data. When you set up a encryprted file system, the first thing you do is to fill a large file with random bytes. Whats to say you got bored at this point, and never touched the file again - how can they tell you really have an encrypted filesystem hidden therein?
Dynarocks are a bunch of BS. They dont have any hacking ability - they just used a tool leaked from Paradogs (who actually worked out how to rip UMDs) to rip some US images... I dont believe for a second that they will have a exploit to run on 1.5/1.51 machines... Paradogs on the other hand, maybe:)
I have MythTV installed, with a WinTV Nova-T card (digital TV card) which allows me to schedule it to record radio straight from UK's freeview service. I then have a php script which re-encodes it using Lame into an archive directory, which I rsync each morning to my iRiver mp3 player...
I do, to connect my PDA to my phone to go online when not near a WIFI point (which is usually the case in the UK!). You can get a half decent remote desktop (terminal services) connection over GPRS like this... Also to pull photos off my phone onto my PC
... It makes sense, as putting down 40 for a game which may be crap is a bit of a risk, far better to pay 2-5 per level or whatever, then you would only spend more money on good games...
It would be better if instead of completely blocking the page, it re-directed to a page saying that this site is implicated in spamming, but with a link to the real page. Would mimimize impact to falsly accused sites.
Forgot to say, the protection used self modification techniques to unencrypt the next part of the code, and IIRC the unencryption routine over-shot what you would expect by 3 bytes, and modified the JMP instruction to the start of the next bit of code, to point to somewhere with real code. Before it was a valid JMP instruction to a piece of dummy code. A lot like the XBox!
because my Nokia 8310 is actually a better phone... i can use t9 a lot quicker than I can write into the p800 recognition and the p800 looked very delicate - the camera lens is exposed to keys etc in my pocket, and the screen gathered loads of dust in the first day... i think the ideal solution is bluetooth pda to small phone... also it crashed and kept 'forgetting' all the software i put on it...
Its NOT warrenty voiding - i have one of these 20 gig recorders, and the firmware lives on the disc - you can simply delete it, and its back to how it was when I got it... I love my Archos:)

Strap a nintendi wii-mote to each joint. These things are supposed to be basically bluetooth position and motion detectors.

Just get sendmail to relay via your ISP's mail server - no loss of DIY functionality, but the ISPs server will (should!) be whitelisted. George

Dunno, wanna try your luck?
They do not mix. To be sure, I am an adult and I do both. But never at the same time...
Which is exactly why it makes sense to have one device share both those functions.

Surely this is just so Nintendo can say that the old games still have commercial value, and hence emulators should be illegal?

Exile had a bitch of a copy protection system... that was my first experience of running code in a debugger, and using breakpoints!.
The debugger was a rom which SIMULATED the 6502 processor in software, because AFAIK the 6502 had no support for debugging and breakpoints
Superb game though, would love a console version in 3d
