I use the calendar and address book in my phone (SonyEricsson T610). It does a pretty good job displaying my data. If I have to, I can input meetings and contacts using the phone, if it's no panic I can do it at home using my computer. iSync works perfectly every time, bluetooth rocks. Yay!
I bought the 20 GB iPod in a retail store, and paid about the same price as the Apple Store. I LOVE my iPod, and I'm really happy I bought it. It's nothing like the cheap-ass MP3-players I've tried, this thing is rock solid, and has excellent sound quality. Absolutely one of my favourite toys.
The iPod can be connected with USB 1.0/2.0 as well, you just need the right cable. The smart playlists in iTunes/iPod are the best dynamic playlists I've ever used. They rock.
If you've connected your PC to a TV, you know that it's a pain in the ass to use it as a monitor. Way to blurry. You wouldn't wanna use this with something else than a LCD-TV or a HDTV.
I think Xbox Live is one of the biggest advantages the Xbox has over it's competitors. You wouldn't get that on a regular PC. Internet gaming, yes, but not as polished as Live. Also, on a PC it seems to be kind of a lottery if a game will run or not. And you have to install the games, add patches etc. On the Xbox, you KNOW all games are gonna run, and you never have to worry about installing patches. Sure, there ARE patches, but they are usually installed automatically. So, yeah, there are a lot of things that make an Xbox better than a PC for gaming.
I think DDR is called Dancing stage unleashed in Europe (don't ask me why). Anyway, this game (DSU) for the Xbox has Xbox Live support. You can play the different multiplayer modes against other players over the internet. Totally cool. Xbox live rocks, it's the perfect online gaming experience!
If you can't trust the service, and you obviously can't, I don't think there's a very good reason to use it. Unless it works for every single message it's no good. It is a pretty neat idea, but the tinfoil hat crowd will most likely scream and shout about their privacy being invaded.
I wonder what they prefer when they make a system like this, false positives or false negatives. It's like a spam filter, only it tries to separate the bad guys from the good ones.
I prefer false negatives (spam messages that end up in my inbox) over false positives (real mail that end up in the bin) from my spam filter, but when you're dealing with humans it's a lot more serious.
If you buy canned food, someone else, probably a machine, still select what goes in the cans. You just can't tell a can with good stuff from one with bad stuff until you get home. In what way is that better?
"Yeah, I used raid to debug my satellite connection, that fixed the problem"
Completely true, but any geek will think you're full of shit. The whole sentence is basically just BUZZ-words:-)
In Sweden, where I live, anybody can look up any cell phone number. That is, unless it's an unregistered pre-paid card (then there's no way to tell who's using it) or the subscriber chose not to be listed. I don't think it's a big deal.

Maybe you can burn them in a heat-/powerplant?
It's true! Homer tried to make money this way in an episode of The Simpsons. OK, that was grease, not oil. But still!
Man, you just play the wrong ones!
Your english teacher called, check your fucking spelling/grammar! ;-)
Naa, this doesn't make his Clie worse in any way.

Unless they had a contract, that's not worth anything. Trust noone.
Beep beep beep beep!

Just a couple of comments:

Just buy another console.

My mac mouse only has one button you insensitive clod!
Weed, $50
Condoms, $5
Car ride, $20
Bragging about sex on Slashdot... priceless
I think the site is about to go down, it's already terribly slow...
You said it yourself, this was to one single service! Not all the messages in an entire network.
In Soviet Russia e-mail monitors YOU!
