  1. Re:Worth it? on iPod & iTunes: The Missing Manual, 2nd Edition · · Score: 1

    The last benchmark I've seen shows the iPods having a write speed of 2594k/sec over firewire. However I'm not sure if that was the minis or the older versions.

    The price is higher its true, however for my dollar you get more. Also the storage space is an issue, but I dont realy need to carry around more then half a gigs worth of songs at a time.

    As for the rest....
    I pull the CF/SD card out and stick it into a USB2/IDE/SCSI flash reader. How is that a "drastically slower sync interface"?

    I would put the sturdiness of many PDAs on par with the iPod. Sory to tell ya, but plastic and alunimun are prety much the same regardless of the logo.

    I have a touch screen on my PDA, 100% customizable interface with no hardware buttons. Works great one handed, while in my pocket etc...

    Given the problems Stan Lee has had with getting paid for his creations in the US, I dont think he's too pleased about this.

    It makes it prohibitively expensive to send ANY email from low power devices such as my PDA, cell phone and even my mail server (500mhz VIA C3).

    I dont consider a white list to be a "good" method. For one thing, most spam I get is claiming to be from a known source (ie someone who knows me has a worm and is spamming from their address book). So you cant just filter by sender. Also, white lists dont deal with the fact that a lot of email is from first time corresponders such as online retail outlets.

    The problem is that I've seen no good way to stop non spammers from paying as well.

    File sharing is legal in Canada and its had no effect on the quality of music and art, just look at all the high quiality IP comming out of the land up north! I even hear that Shatner is back in the recording studio.

    My gods, your RIGHT! This whole Windows thing is a blatant rip off of KDE. And I just noticed that Solaris uses the same style of CLI that Linux pioneered.

    Well, you seem to have no problem with stuff like Nickelic Hydroxide, Poly-vinyl chloride, Mercury or Polychlorinated biphenyls. Look at it this way, if your computer hasn't killed you or given you cancer yet odds are youre safe.

    Well the TV series "stand alone complex" was beased on an alternate time line where the puppet master never showed up. However, it looks like the second movie is more focused on Batu then the major.

    Based on the big ass heat sink I'm betting its around 1.5" tall. This is not a very "low profile" looking board. In fact I think my older 600mhz fanless VIA Mini-ITX board is shorter.

    "Firstly, there are other ways of generating electricity, and massive measures are being put in place for this in the UK (wind farms, for a start). Not a bad thing."

    The nice thing about "normal" batteries is that I can go to my hotel room and recharge them. The last thing I need to be doing is wandering around vegas at three in the morning trying to find some hydrogen to power my notebook for the big presentation in the morning.
