In other news, crackers join such people as Eminem and Bittany Spears living in the streets because of record company losses.
Did they really believe that this bill would prevent piracy or did the BOFH think this idea up? Remember the plan to take over microsoft.com and sex.com?
I converted my cradle. I just removed the usb-crap and replaced it with a DB9 serial port then plugged up a k/b from an old dumb terminal. An RJ45 for a newer terminal would also work.
I'm sure you'll reply with something like "how much time did you waste on that", but I have a full sized k/b that could be replaced with a modem, no trouble.
Is it even possible to get 802.11b from a palm!? If you want longer battery life get the Zaurus SL-5600; I bought my 5500 because I like having 64mb of usable ram wherever I need it.
I am no expert on qtopia's pda utilities; I honestly think that pen&paper is the best solution for keeping track of my lameass repetitive life. I did try graffiti, it my be better than the Z's recognition, but neither worked well enough to by considered a viable option.
On another note: I was able to recover all the data from my Zaurus after its screen broke. I can login over my LAN and get a console or use VNC to graphically interact with it.
I don't mean to stray this thread back to/.'s topic of geekiness, but the exact same statement can be made about coding.
I learned to code BASIC at 8, and started releasing software to the public 4 years ago when I was twelve. Along the way I first dumped DOS, then BASIC, and finally Windows, but I still code just because it is fun.
Over the summer I tried "selling out" by taking a summer job in Java programming. It was still fun; I was still programming. But it wasn't the same and I didn't continue on over the summer.
I still plan to go into programming for a career, but hopefully for some OSS project rather than just for profit.
I won't pay for a distrobution that I don't use, even if I do recommend it to those first trying Linux.
Mandrake packages of their configuration programs, which kick ass regardless of our prejudices against luser-friendliness, for Debian and other distros might make the Mandrake Club worth joining.
Does all that, with a kickass k/b. I can't imagine using PalmOS with graffitti and all that bs.
For those that are wondering, yes the Zaurus runs real Linux. Yes, Debian has been ported. Yes, a better pda environment than sharp's is under development. Yes, having a wifi CF card and a 256mb SD card is the high life. Yes you can connect that that serial terminal or k/b up.
that you will always roll a 20; eventually you should catch on that an AC of 20 isn't good. Or is it now? I gave up a few years ago when they inverted the base rules.
that those losers would run winshit and IIS, but couldn't a Linux/BSD box/router/firewall be changed to look like another OS?
If iptables filters all traffic then it should be trivial for the authors to let it use an nmap definitions db and pretend to be another box. For example if the db knows that winshit2k responds a certain way to a broken SYN request, iptables could act that way.
openfirmware is usable rather than pretty?
because it proves that a firmware can be cooler without ASCII art or pain-in-the-arse GUI?
OpenFirmware, for those who don't know, is a solution adopted by Sun, Apple, and other big names. A partition on the hard disk contains the firmware which can be accessed through certain key combos. You can then give it commands to boot certain partitions and other such shit; stuff I'd like in my peecee's BIOS.
Reminds me of that cold fusion dealy during the 70s. The radio electronics article states a 1/100 chance of getting it to work, but to my knowledge the original experimenters were the only ones to get it working.
Just place a cookie with a four-year time-to-live on the user's computer.
You all may laugh at me, but with such a system the Libertarians would stand a chance.
My other idea is an html form in which every radio button have a value of "libertarian."
I suppose I'll just wait for them to realize that our existing for of voting control that keeps someone from voting twice could also be used in this situation.
Having a conscience sucks; being a hypocrite would kick ass.
Please forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't water(drinkable?) on Mars a good thing for those that want a colony? Hell, it could cool help operate a nuclear power plant and mixed with ethynol help colonist morale. Those opposed to this idea can mix methynol with the power planet's old cooling water(the stuff that's been in the inner loop for years.)
Or is the camp that believes the caps are CO2(middle school science teachers) to the point of sabatauge!? Better call the probe a "welcoming guesture to aliens" and it'll get through.
BTW Mr. Watson, I did get question #3 right on the "planets quiz." I lied about my dog chewing the DB25 connector off my serial printer, so we can call it even.
I think the major importance of this is that the theory of evolution(which God could direct!) does not account for the switching of one set of amino acids to another. That means that these acids are not from Earth, or at the very least not from the epoch.
so you may connect to any one of several servers. The servers each have different databases to pool results from and different caches to display.
A google search for my site returns our old site that has had dead dns records for nearly a month above my new site. Sometimes my new site pulls into the lead, sometimes it isn't there, and at least one cache has the announcement that the old name was lost and a domain was purchased.
By the time I retire we'll be out of fossil fuels and food. I'll have to sit in SUNLIGHT for DAYS just to get enough electricity to run my graphing calculator! There will be NO COFFEE!!!!

laws that just apply to me. Such as the proposed Travis-Goodspeed-is-excempt-from-the-DMCA-and-EULA s Act of 2003.
They are paying CowboyNeal off. I'd post the whole article, but I don't want to register.
Someone else can RTFM.

it's a bit harder to pronounce than in the good ol' days....
the article is from 72. I wonder if someone "solves" cold fusion once every decade or two?
that you will always roll a 20; eventually you should catch on that an AC of 20 isn't good. Or is it now? I gave up a few years ago when they inverted the base rules.
you'd think "wouldn't the entire internet hate me if I...." and end up with something worse, if such a thing is possible

it will let Winshit PE(Palladium Edition) run pre-Palladium software.
We all knew M$ wasn't paying their license fees, but wouldn't it be cheaper to admit it?
not because its owners are stinkin rich (are they?)
Buying out a company that everyone hates for handling ads won't make you more respected.
In other new, my company has decided to buy out Microsoft. We hope that this will help us in our global domination plans.

Saves it from string overflow exploits. It's nice not needing to think about such things while coding.
