The point of my post wasn't to negate the fact that signal is generated by electronics. It was a sarcastic remark that maybe I really shouldn't use my GPSMap when I have the Cessna or Katana out for a cross country trip. If you checked out the link, you would notice that Garmin is the leader in aviation GPS units.
Holy crap!!! Does that mean that I really shouldn't be flying with my Garmin GPSMap 295? I wouldn't want it to interfere with my communication with the ATC and instrumentation panel!!!
Just hope they don't start asking people to turn off their pacemakers before taking off! hehehehe.
If this were entirely true, then I would suspect that the Airlines and FCC would have a snit about the 5 multi-company cell towers within a mile of 5 airports that I know of. Let's not forget that a cell phone is a terminating device. A cell tower transmits the same power all the time.
One little known fact. It ISN'T a FCC regulation that all electronic equipment be placed in the off position (kind of an idiotic phrase in the first place.) during take off and landing. Otherwise, the airlines wouldn't be able to transport ambulatory patients or some of the U.S. Mail they still tote around.
In a Discovery Wings program (self described Discovery geek with a VFR rating), they showed the build and testing cycle for new aircraft. Even their engineers said (while standing in front of a electronics emissions testing array) that at least on their aircraft, that nothing within the 'consumer bandwidth' can affect the installed electronics.
But to put an argument to those that say that the airlines are prohibiting cellphones to promote skyphones... 'Most' cellular services utilize directional antenna that completely terminates at the ground within 3 - 5 miles. Just ask anyone who works in a building above the 4th floor and can see the cell tower in the distance. Plus, even for those companies that still use large arrays of omni-directional antenna, skipping from tower to tower at 400mph (3 - 6 miles over them) would be difficult for the MTA to keep the call terminated at the handset.
If you are just looking for note taking, I would suggest the Sony Clie NX70V. Has a camera to snap pics or video. Can be used for voice recording. Not to mention several MS Word friendly document viewer/editors and built in scientific calculator. Then you can just dump everything to an inexpensive desktop in the dorm.

In light of this report, Tom Ridge is adding Rubber Rafts, or some other floatation devices to the list of items everyone should have on hand. In addition to duct tape and plastic sheet.
I would have no problem with abiding by the DMCA, providing that the entertainment industry provides me with a way or guarantee that Fair Use is not impeded upon. To and include replacing damaged media for the life of the copyright of the work contained there in. At no aditional cost to me. Including shipping and handling.
They want us to play by the rules; fine. Then they should be held just as accountable for fair use. With penalties just as stiff as they seek against us.
The treasury puts out all these new bills to try to foil counterfeiting, but leave the old bills in circulation for another 5 - 10 years.... OK, I cannot make a new $20 bill -for now- but those old style $100s can still be made.
Next we are going to see the govt try to limit the extent in which publishing technology can go.
Excuse me, but my printer says that it needs another ream of paper. Then off to the Porsche dealership.

Microsoft should learn to produce secure products with its existing technology, before they assume the mantel of taking care of security for an entire consumer demographic.
Haven't they learned that one size doesn't fit all, yet?
But they got "their" source code after AT&T sold off the Unix business to Novell in '93 and Novell sold it to SCO in '95.
Even if Redhat and SuSE had any SysV code, so long as they were using the "Available Opensource" prior to date of sale, then SCO needs to go back to the drawing board and actually develop a product worth competing with the rest of the market.
"McBride: In our case, Linux comes from Unix and we own the Unix operating system."
And all these years I thought that AT&T owned the OS and Berkeley had the toolkit. Specially considering that SCO didn't even start existing until 1979. Or the 7th edition, in Unix years.
Get the platter. Someone is about to have their ass handed back to them.
I had thought about the Zaurus when I thought about upgrading from my N760C, but it really didn't seem like an upgrade, rather than a lateral move. Plus, I couldn't find out if I could still use Graffiti.
Plus, I found a Clie NX70V on eBay that I got lucky on, for $227.
Advantage is that I wouldn't have to upgrade my Memeory Sticks or reader. The camera is gratis, that would only be used to take quick snapshots for documentation or such.
With WiFi and Bluetooth becoming standard (or at least peripheral), I am waiting on the applications to make my PDA even more usefull than it already is. Like an SSH client and true IMAP, POP3 email client.
I view WINE as a versitile tool that allows me the flexibility to operate necessary Windows Applications in an Open Environment without severe costs associated (monetarily and resource) with creating another environment. Be it another desktop or VM solution.
It uses only the resources required to run the choosen application and yet allows me to do the work that I normally do in Linux.
Now if I did a majority of my work in Windows and required the use of a *nix program, then you bet, I would be as apt to use something as similar.
Interoperable, so long as you don't share the same documents that you edited back to those using MS Office.
I have yet to see OO do Viso or Lotus Notes, which I require to do my job. OO is coming along, but are still a long way from the brass ring.
Even if I could get every desktop in my company changed over to OO, we would spend more time fixing shit so our partners/customers/vendors could share data in a meaningful way.
Until then, I have happily forked out my $54 (and got my free upgrade to 2.0.0.) and can work with the documents for work, create my network/workflow diagrams and do email (and I hate Notes!). All from the comfort of my Linux system.
Or Corporate Enterprise Networks with 5 platforms and 5Tb+ of data.
RTO and RPO will always drive the need to actually spend money for DR.
I rather spend the cash to test and ensure reasonable recovery in my home (just as, at work), than to take a chance by sharing with the world.
If I loose my house do to fire/flood, rebuilding my LAN isn't really a priority at that point. But will have my tape backup sitting in my cubicle to restore from when I am ready to.
BTW, if drives are so cheap, then mirroring the rootvg should make perfect sense. Loose the boot drive? Just point to the mirrored backup and keep going. Instead of purchase, load, get client and fetch/install (configurations, installed apps, keys, etc).
If you are looking for VoIP, for a cheeper solution to the service your local Telco offers, then check out Vonage.
Granted, this solution isn't VoIP through a PC application, but for the price and quality, it is still better than what I have seen from Ma Bell. Specially if you have/need an area code currently on their offering list. Although, if you want/need another area code, you get to choose one.
I have been with them for 2 months now as my only house-phone service. Granted, there are a few things that have yet to mature, but they are minor in comparison to what we all have to put up with, with Bell. Even the voice quality is good. Better than cell service, but just sleightly less than regular POTS. Definitely better than other Net2phone applications that I have tried.
So much for the Bolt Cutters, lock picks, drill & bits or a good hammer. All I need is a set of blanks, file and a bunch of time to 'decrypt' the master pattern through a dozen or so attempts.

Pity that you are running AMD and Linux.
Or more akin to the seat belts...
You may choose not to use them. But you have to use them if you wish to use the road.
Why? Because the state says they are a required feature to be utilized, if you desire to use their prepared medium with your hardware.
Microsoft should learn to produce secure products with its existing technology, before they assume the mantel of taking care of security for an entire consumer demographic.
Haven't they learned that one size doesn't fit all, yet?
Cool. So, I can buy the IP for the Edison Light Bulb and go after GE.
Right, you got me there. After rechecking myself, I remembered the numerous times that the IP and name changed hands.
If the code was opensource before the sale to SCO from Novel and freely available to use and incorporate, then SCO is wasting their time.
But they got "their" source code after AT&T sold off the Unix business to Novell in '93 and Novell sold it to SCO in '95.
Even if Redhat and SuSE had any SysV code, so long as they were using the "Available Opensource" prior to date of sale, then SCO needs to go back to the drawing board and actually develop a product worth competing with the rest of the market.

Yes, you can view it. Now edit one of those documents and send it back to the person your recieved it from.
Or even better, to the 50 other people that rely on that document to work on a project. Or to calculate your salary.
