    the t616 does have a sim card.

    the t616 and t610 are basically the exact same phone, except the frequencies they operate on. the t616, sold only by at&t and maybe cingular is 850/1800/1900. whereas the t610 is 900/1800/1900

    (did you know that it's better for your car to not allow it to get below 1/4 tank, because then junk on the bottom of the fuel tank gets sucked into the engine?)

    Obviously, you are one of the people who always lets your car run out of gas. Your mechanic father told you this, so he wouldnt have to bring you gas while stranded on the side of the highway in the middle of the night.

    Cars have fuel filters to keep "junk" from getting to the engine. (a screen in the tank, and replacable filter in the fuel line)

    A neural network can be trained to learn your pattern of typing. Each successful login becomes a sample in its training set. That way it learns your natural variations and you don't have to perform perfectly each time or risk being rejected.

  13. Re:Connections through PCI bus? on 10-TFlop Computer Built from Standard PC Parts · · Score: 2

    But even if you could cable all the computers together on one giant PCI bus, it would still be a bad idea. A good 24 port gigabit ethernet switch (~$2000) has a 480MB/sec switching fabric, to support full speed full duplex on each port. 32 bit 33Mhz PCI is only about 132 MB/sec, not nearly as fast.

    Did we follow the standard form of not reading the article?
    QUOTE:
    ...standard PCI slot on each processor node, which gives a 4.5-microsecond latency," he said, as opposed to 90-s latency for Gigabit Ethernet...

    The advantage of the pci bus is its low latency.

  16. Re:You on Tips for Those Using a Resume Service? · · Score: 1

    We're going over this same subject in my technical writing course, at umich. Using a resume writing service, along with too fancy of a letter head is one of the things our professor has specifically warned against. Reason being: if the interviewer thinks you've spent X hundred dollars on your resume/letterhead its because you're trying to cover up a less than satisfactory job or education history.

    Not exactly the conclusion that I'd make, but that's what she claims

  19. Re:C|Net should check their facts on iMac LCD Impostors · · Score: 1

    In a response from the writer of the article, He said that he didnt include the TAM because its a $10,000 computer not intended for mass-market consumption.

    Either way, aimed for mass-market or not, Apple produced a AIO LCD computer before Gateway.

    Then, he proceeds with this:
    For the record, Dual Technology released an all-in-one LCD PC on April
    3, 1996, more than a year before Apple actually started selling the
    Twentieth Anniversary iMac. It was an attractive configuration, too, for
    its day: 75MHz Pentium processor upgradeable to 200MHz, 12.1-in SVGA TFT
    LCD screen, 8MB of RAM upgradeable to 128Mb, 1 GB hard drive, 6X CD-ROM
    drive, 16-bit audio card and Sound Blaster 16 Pro sound card.

    Nice, he even got the name incorrect; let that one slide.

    If this does exits, sure another company made an all-in-one with a lcd before Apple; but again his claim was that Gateway did it first.
