Yeah, the data goes on pre-NVRAM Treos and other Palms (unsure about Sony's CLIEs) after the battery dies, but I believe there is a time-limit between the time that battery dies and the time data is erased; this means a Palm literate SRO or principal could connect the Palm within the timeframe to go data fishing. I would have to dig out my Palm m130 manual to find out what the limit is, but i'm too lazy to find out. Sorry!:-(
Good luck trying that in the good ol' USA. You will get laughed out of the store. About 12 years, a dear friend of mine brought me a globe. This was when communism was ending, and as a result, my new globe didn't have the new nations on it. After 30-40 minutes of me geting angry and somesuch, they took back the blasted globe.
The 26.5M figure quoted is possible. The VA info quoted also suggests that data on 2.1M active-duty military folks was stolen. Take that figure and subtract. You get 14.1M vets. Now the US has been in the following wars since independence:
*Revolution *War of 1812 *Civil War (I'm not sure if the VA tracks Confederate vets or not) *Indian Wars *Spanish-American War *WWI *WWII *Korea *Vietnam *Grenada *Panama *Gulf War *Somalia *Bosnia *Kosovo *Afghanistan/GWoT *Iraq
Now let's assume the VA has digitized names and SSNs since WWII. Take the wars since WWII and find the figures of those who served and subtract from those who died. Add all of those figures. With that number, you will find the 26.5M figure quoted by the VA is possible, many times over.
Don't feel too bad. I remember thinking at the time of the PMP-300 release why a country band would release an DAP. It's funny thinking about how wrong I was on that count.
The previous post is right. Michael Jackson and SONY share half of the publishing rights to about 250 (or so) Beatles tunes, not counting a few early songs. In the articles I read, Capitol Records or EMI owns the tape reels, masters, etc. There was nothing about Apple Corps, unless Apple Corps is a front for Capitol Records or EMI. It seems that this confusing arrangement arose from bad money choices the Beatles made in the 60's. See Cecil or Snopes on this.
For those slashdotters interested in the ruling, I have a copy of it on my site here. It's complete from the Court's website minus a summary that wasn't a part of the Court's ruling. It's PDF, so it can be read in the normal ways on your OS flavor of choice.
This new ID card system will apply in Wales and NI as Home affairs is a retained power. I'm too lazy to look up the details now, but they should be in the Government of Wales Act 1998 and the Northern Ireland Act 1998. See this BBC artcle for a summary of how the devolved and retained powers stack up for Stormont, Holyrood, and Cardiff Bay.
Are you sure about this? I seem to remember that Mac IE 5+ was a rewrite while Mac IE 4.0 and before was a port of the Windows version which involved Spyglass/Mosaic.
I remember this too. According to Snopes and this blog post, these warnings - boiled down to the simplest level - told law enforcement and other groups that going after them was a violation of non-existing 1995 Internet privacy law signed by former President Clinton.
That may be, but I seem to remember when I was in high school that students who smoked would gather on the sidewalk opposite the school itself, due to (I think) the belief that the school staffers wouldn't be able to get them off grounds for smoking, as it was forbidden on school property.
You do know ACLJ is a front for the religious-right folks? I tend to take anything said by them with a grain (no, a chunk) of salt. Learn the truth here.
I don't mean to be stupid, but in the context of this ruling, what's a blog? I realize the principal in TFA singled out Xanga and MySpace as blogs, but could posting comments and stories to a site like/. be considered a blog?
I don't think this would ever work. In a library, music is organized mainly in the 780's-790s, then by artist. After that, it's alpha by CD title. I don't think that would be too much fun for the average joes, but I think us/. folk would relish it to bits, I think.
I already done this by buying an iPod mini. In my research into upgrading from my previous Nomad II I found that the Zen line of players was crappy as hell. This point was made clear to me when a nice staff member at Best Buy took the Creative Zen Touch and lifted the case a bit to show how flimsy the device was. This gave me all the proof I needed to be turned against the Creative Zen. For more about this, see my blog.
The Northern Mariana Islands (NMI) became a Commonwealth in 1978. The Covenant (the document that sets the basis of the relationship between the USA and the NMI) was approved in 1975. In 1986, the Trusteeship for the NMI was ended and the folks there were given US citizenship. In 1990, the UN ended the Trusteeship for the NMI and all the areas that were part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI).
For data and backup CDs, I use one of those CD booklet pouches that can hold a lot of CDs. I have one for both my iBook and the Dell (which is now someone elses). For general music CD's I generally use a tower or a wall CD holder.

This isn't the first time a 3rd party candidate has been kicked out of the debates. In October 2000, Ralph Nader had a ticket to attend the one of the debates. Instead of his ticket being honored, he was not allowed in. See CNN and Nader's own account of what happened.
In February 2004, Nader and a slew of other 2000 third party candidates and parties sued the FEC over the debates. One of the exhibits contained in the lawsuit is a "face book" that was used by debate planners to know which third party candidates to keep out of the debates. See this Boston Post story and a press release about the lawsuit.
The debates are managed by a group called the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). To get into the debates, a candidate needs at least 15% to get in. (To put that in perspective, Ralph Nader has been polling 3%-5% in most polls i've seen; he got 2.7% in 2000).
The grandparent post notes correctly that Ross Perot got in the debates in 1992. The reason he got in was that he was invited by GHW Bush & Clinton.
There had been lawsuits against the CPD to overturn this rule. Perot sued after the 1996 election. Pat Buchanan, John Hagelin, and Nader have sued as well. I believe that Harry Browne and Howard Philips have sued as well.
AFAIK, most of these suits are still being decided.
(In the interest to help non-USA slashdotters, Pat Buchanan was the 2000 candidate of the Reform Party. John Hagelin ran for the Natural Law Party, Harry Browne was the Libertarian candidate; Howard Philips ran for the Constitution Party. Ralph Nader ran for the Green Party.)

What's to stop Microsoft from undercutting Opera's prices on some fancy (or un-fancy!) new version of IE for mobile devices?
There is a edition of IE for Windows Mobile called Pocket Internet Explorer. From what I heard, it's limited compared to desktop IE.
Are you sure about this? I seem to remember that Mac IE 5+ was a rewrite while Mac IE 4.0 and before was a port of the Windows version which involved Spyglass/Mosaic.
I remember this too. According to Snopes and this blog post, these warnings - boiled down to the simplest level - told law enforcement and other groups that going after them was a violation of non-existing 1995 Internet privacy law signed by former President Clinton.
It isn't true.

How can the INS have time to pick up illegals when they don't exist anymore? The law enforcememnt part of immigration is now handled by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the administative part of immigration is now handeled by Citizenship and Immigration Services.

spewey,
You are half-right.
The Northern Mariana Islands (NMI) became a Commonwealth in 1978. The Covenant (the document that sets the basis of the relationship between the USA and the NMI) was approved in 1975. In 1986, the Trusteeship for the NMI was ended and the folks there were given US citizenship.

You got a link to Gates' "letter of intent"?? Would be interesting to see. Does sound like his M.O.
I think you are referring to the Open Letter to Hobbyists . The text is here.

May not be perfect, but it works.
I did some reading on Laurence Canter a while back. CNET wrote an article on him and he was asked about his thoughts about the SPAM. He said:
Given the same set of circumstance--the same time, the stage of the Internet--I'd probably do the same thing. Somebody would have done it, if we hadn't done it.
Read more here.
From reading the article, he still thinks the SPAM was a good thing.
