I used to be the same way, I used to lay in bed before I went to sleep and think about what I SHOULD have done that day, its not a very pleasant feeling.
In the end the only real solution that I found which works for me is to get up first thing (bout 7am), have a shower, eat, get dressed and then start work straight away. I seem to find that if I sit down in front of the TV or look at my email or read/. (I know, -1 Traitor approaching), I just get distracted by something and end up not doing anything all day.
I reckon there's a point in this, what would happen if Microsoft started manufacturing soylent green? Somewhere someone has to put their foot down and make a stand, no matter how unpleasant they could make your life.
I used to use one of those natural keyboards bu i got fed up with that stupid direction button layout. I'm now using the apple pro keyboard which (although pricey) is by far the best of all the keyboards I have ever used.
.... And in further news Toshiba has announced that customers will have to endure a cool off period before collecting their new laptops. It seems that federal authorities have deemed this item as a 'deadly weapon' since a frustrated windows user could easily bludgeon someone to death with it whilst in a fit of rage.....
I think ill reconsider my position on that korean hacking school now. Imagine half the US army's uniforms activating their automated tourniqets at once, whilst it would no doubt be hilarious to watch it probably wouldn't do them much good;)

The sound is fine, easily as good as my 6210
It comes with headphones for use as an mp3 player. -thats fine too
Yes it IS a little sluggish at times but it is far from unusable
I own one, I know what I'm talking about, it is not a bad phone.
I actually own one. The phone is a little sluggish at times, particularly when changing your 'desktop' theme, very occasionaly during menu navigation but nothing unusable. The audio does not suck it sound just as clear as my old 6210, plus i get to use a decent ring tone of my choice (any.wav) which sound awesome. The buttons may be smaller than the norm but they are just fine once you get used to it and I can still text quite easily. It's not really that bad a phone, I like it anyway.
I pissed off with hearing about all these 'wonderful' storage devices that are going to save us all so much money and time. WHEN THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO SEE SOME RESULTS! I saw stories about similar storage over 3 years ago and still nothing yet.
From now on ill only be excited about something when I can slap it in my PC and it will offer big, fast storage at low price.
Humpf!
I shouldnt imagine that north korea would sink any serious cash into something like this, they're far too busy pumping money into statues of kim il sun (sp?) and teaching the general population just how great their country is.
Seriously though they have enough problems looking after their people as it is, if this is actually going on it's a bit pointless.
In all seriousness though this could be cool for so many things, walking about in zero g (not as much fun, I know) , professional thieves will love it (they're probably stealing some now). The list just goes on.
I wonder if you can beat those cameras like you would a normal speed camera.
At about 170 mph regular speed cameras cant track you and dont go off. I can just imagine a 3am GMT cross central-london race meet just to see if they can beat the congestion charge:)
Biofeedback a good thing?

What Id like to know is what the hell happens if you get biofeedback spyware?
You could have software which advertises products and then measures your unconcious reactions to see if you are affected. Its like the most sophisticated market research validation tool ever.
On the other hand it would be cool......
WHAT IF MY COMPUTER TELLS THE POLICE IM STONED????
They already sorted this one on the SPV and P800 you can turn off the phone segment of the device, convincing a luddite stewardess on the other hand might be a little harder
I am using an Orange SPV at the moment and I simply cannot invisage buying a PDA with it around. My only small concern is that it lags a little and that the text input is still num pad. But hey thats life , i just dont have the cash for a P800
I honestly cant tell if this is a serious post or not. If it is, it has to be the most poorly thought out post ever.
Yes engineering and science students do joke about arts students - its fun and they take it with a pinch of salt. We all know there are clever arts students
Valve amplifiers were abandoned for good reasons
- They require the replacement of valves when they burn out
-They are expensive
-transistors dont break when you knock them
You CAN buy valve amplifiers still so stop complaining
Your improved spelling skills aren't helping you spell "grammar" correctly
I guess my well rounded engineering based education isn't so bad after all!

Try it, see if it works for you
shit
I should be fscking working
I honestly had no itea that PDAs had the ability to track down trees
Somewhere someone has to put their foot down and make a stand, no matter how unpleasant they could make your life.
I rather hope they'll have had a bluetooth solution for this soon
Im going back to my cellar now to make more tin-foil hats for my family... :)
Still it does make me wonder.

Shocking but not high voltage
