I can search it to find out where I left my cell phone last night
Have you tried calling it to see who answers? I've recovered mine three times that way (over the years, not in the last week!)
I was going to comment on the absurdity of the claim to simulate everything, but due to a slashcode hiccup, I got "nothing to see here, move along." What The? I thought that EVERYTHING was here?
Oh, and the ObStevenWright: You can't have (simulate?) everything. Where would you put it?
ever hear of Tmobile?
get a Nokia 3650 and Tzones unlimited ($5) and your golden!
I have heard of T-Mobile. Their family plan has a bit more minutes, but three phones costs US$80 for the base price, and a bit over US$100 after taxes.
When I said I was paying US$60 per month, I meant for all three, not for each phone.
I don't know how Web Access got into the conversations (tZones) btw. Maybe I misunderstood you. Thanks for the suggestion though.
I first got cellular from U S WEST Cellular, which was sold to AirTouch, which was sold to Verizon.
I'm still on a calling plan from the original U S WEST contracts, so I have three phones, sharing 600 minutes for around US$60 per month after taxes.
Right now, I've got a Nokia from Verizon with a firmware mod to prevent any ringtones or BREW apps from running, except through the Verizon BUY IT NOW! downloader. I'd dump 'em in a heartbeat if I could get service from anyone else for a comparable price, but as it is I just use 'em for phone service and I miss out on the fancy phone features fun.
Fischer made the pen as a marketing ploy, privately funded, and gave them to NASA.
The Soviets, on the other hand, had to deal with pencil shavings and graphite dust.
The only thing it doesn't do well is function as a card reader
Belkin makes a card reader that works with the dock-enabled iPods, but it costs around $100. Check the apple store if you're interested.
Are you kidding me? Bill probably commissioned the story in the first place!
Now he can tell the European Commission's antitrust unit how he's pro-competition!
The author seems extremely happy about how everything just works out of
the box
Just how low is the fsking bar when a reviewer has to note
that nothing was broken when he first powered on the system?
C'mon people, raise your standards for a "good" system!

I always wanted an iPod how about you?
I have to say this thread has produced some of the most entertaining links I've seen in months.
Special thanks go to
adeyadey for the
Antibanana link, and to
dacarr for the
bananaphone link. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
As creepy as this may be for those of us fortunate enough to still have all original parts, it's life-changing or even life-saving if you've lost a section of your skeleton (like this dude) for some reason.
Profoundly cool work.

Ok, so take your pick of Google results:
Your search -
"all letters I wrote to Mr Smith about the Anderson account last year" - did not match any documents.
or
The following words are very common and were not included in your search:
I to about the.
BBN had some interesting natural language parsing projects going in the early 90s, but google has shown that "semantic nets plus keywords" winds up being a better way to search hyperlinked data.
The problem that I see is that my hard drive isn't hyperlinked, so I don't really WANT a google-like search capability.
I wonder how the calculate the odds?
Oh I dunno, maybe they just make them up since they don't get a lot of takers when they state the real scientific odds: "A Snowball's Chance In Hell"
Not quite 20 years, since the Sparc didn't ship til 1990-ish, and the Sun3 didn't have the microphone.
Just the same, the mic and the speaker were really nifty. I was working on homework one night at around 2am, and noticed that a buddy was logged in on console in a lab of 15-20 sparcs. I checked the other machines, and he was the only one (logged in) in the lab, so I hacked out a quick shell script to rsh to each host and cat/usr/demo/laughter.au (or whatever the sample was called -- the one with several people laughing) to/dev/audio, placing each rsh in the background so all of them went off more-or-less at the same time.
A few minutes later, he wasn't logged in anymore.

Ah well, worth a try. Are you still in the city listed on the patent? How's the economy doing in that Dallas-to-Allen belt? I was down that way about a year ago, and there seemed to be a lot of office space for lease.
So the question is, are you working in
Machine Vision
or
Code Management
systems?
If it's Machine Vision, I'd love to correspond with you. I did some work in the early 90's on hardware emulations of physical perception systems.
Although 2TB is tremendous, at the 120MB/sec, it would be about 5 hrs to access the entire contents (while rare, a card-card transfer to save data might be performed).
Rare?!? How about every time I bring my digicam home from vacation and copy my 2TB of pictures to my hard drive?
My 200GB Hard drive.
Hrrrmmmmm
Man, whatever happened to popping up a Solitaire game to prove that you could execute arbitrary code? Now we've got an example image which crashes the browser (Netscape 7.1) and locks the profile, so the only way I can get back to bitch about it is to cold boot the damn (win2k) machine.

As far as cognitive abilities, there is no conclusive evidence that black people (or any race) is any different from any other race.
Correction: the stupid white folks haven't found the evidence yet.
