You're really annoyed that some good games developers are starting to write Palm games? Which will improve the quality of the software available on the PalmOS platform? And increase the profile of the games industry on PalmOS? And all because your game might look crap in comparison?
Well boo hoo. Tell ya what - why don't we restrict the quality of all software development in the world so your fragile pride won't be hurt? Would that suit you? Didn't think so. Grow up.
I found Domino to be a really nice enterprise level email solution; I only wonder why it isn't used more?
Have you ever tried to use the client? That's why.
Version 5.0 of the client still can't handle Daylight Savings Time! If it crashes (and it does) you've got to manually kill the process nlhdeamon.exe to restart. You do not want your helpdesk handing out instructions like that...
The problem won't be the cost of the base station, it's the cost of getting the satellites into orbit. That's a fairly high fixed cost, and each satellite can only support so many concurrent connections...
$5000/month? BT and Tiscali are set to offer VSAT internet access at ADSL speeds (150kbps up, 500kbps down) for GBP £60-70 a month. Fair enough, the install isn't cheap - £600 (Tiscali) or £900 (BT), but it's still a fraction of the $5k a month you're quoting.
There's enough law in the UK at the moment to make something like DeCSS quite legal. The notion of an 'unfair' contract is enshrined in (most, possibly all) European countries. You can't limit my statutory rights to an item - and fair use is a statutory right.

If you want an almost silent fan, check these out. Very cool.

It's already a card-game called Unexploded Cow from Cheapass Games. Lots of fun.
Nope. If you want HP to support the system you have, you have to pay more money. What's the problem with that?
