It is in reference to the Handspring Visor PDA. I have owned 5 of them (counting the exchanges). I now own a Palm Tungsten|T3. I really should change my nickname, but I'm not motivated enough to do so... Perhaps I'll get to it this weekend and move over my friends list.
The solution is not to cripple the game for only people with Creative cards, but to equally modify the way that the game engine draws shadows for everybody to avoid Creative's patent on the specific shadowing method, which (as I understand it,) Carmack himself popularized.
The whole thing is crap. Software patents really should not exist in their current form... At the very least place tighter limits and shorter expiration dates on them.
I fail to see how it would hurt the users if he's already got a way to make it work... The game is capped at 60FPS even though most newer cards are capable of running it much faster. I'd think there would be room in there for the less-optimal shadowing implementation.
I've never heard any religious icon refer to themselves or their actions as being "evil" and most church people would distinguish between the two as being different, with sin being forgivable, but evil being a static state.
The apostle Paul seems to indicate otherwise here and all through the Bible (at least, in the Bibles that I've read.) evil and sin are regarded as one and the same...
14 For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin.
15 For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate.
16 But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good.
17 So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. 19 For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.
20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
21 I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.
22 For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man,
23 but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.
24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?
25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.

I believe this is where D-BUS comes in... And that is already or will soon be supported in KDE.
I recently bought a Palm Tungsten|T3 and a Sony Ericsson T68m to replace my Handspring Visor Prism w/VisorPhone.
I now happily "lug around two separate gadgets" as you said. I'm happy about it because there's far more functionality and far less weight (the Visor Prism + VisorPhone was a BRICK).
Also, the price was about the same... I bought the Visor Prism for $300 and the VisorPhone for $100. The Tungsten|T3 was $295 and the T68m was $71.
The T3 I just bought came with a protective flip cover that attaches to the back...
It's soft suede on the inside and smooth leather on the outside with a rigid piece in between. It works well as a writing surface, for signing checks and other brief writing exercises. It's gray, so it goes well with the aluminum exterior of the T3.
The battery life on my new T3 is better than the Visor Prism which it is replacing.
Also, I got my T3 on eBay for $265 + SH from CompUSA Auctions. It's a refurb, but so was my Visor Prism that I bought for $300 a few years ago, so it's about the same price, but now I have so much more.
I'd just bring my Neuros and it's USB cable. Jack in after the show and download it all to the HD... I've got all my music on it now and still 15.5 GB available.

How?

This hasn't got anything to do with sound...
Creative is asserting their [likely invalid] patent on a video technique to generate shadows.
I fail to see how it would hurt the users if he's already got a way to make it work... The game is capped at 60FPS even though most newer cards are capable of running it much faster. I'd think there would be room in there for the less-optimal shadowing implementation.
It's already multiplayer capable over LAN & Internet.
I think they have multilingual games... Or maybe it's just their website.
because I don't have those games on my T68.
;)
That's rather surprising to me because I bought the phone off of eBay and it's pretty beat up outside; paint coming off, scratches, etc.
Still works quite well tho... Just looks fugly. Hopefully ugly enough that nobody will steal it.

Use BitTorrent.
hahaha!! so true!
I spent my mod points already, otherwise I'd mod the parent +1 Insightful.
Think of the possible endorsement spots he might be able to get paid for...
He could become the next "Jared Fogle", but for Sony/PlayStation!!
I'm still not inspired to use it.
Did you check out Lycoris?
I'm not at all affiliated with them, I just think it might be a solution for you which perhaps you weren't aware of.
The proposal is at the end of the article, in the "Roadmap for the Future" section...
I question whether you made it that far before deciding to rant.
To Summarize:
Wow, slashcode really fubar'd my post... I had it set to plain text and it still interpreted it as HTML. Anyway, the last bit should have said:
I can't stand going <30 MPH on the freeway... >100 MPH is typical for me, which augments travel times.
