Windows CE isn't really an OS, it's just the kernel and support DLLs. IMHO, anybody that puts windows CE on a toaster is crazy. (Read: Toster == any electronic item that doesn't have a GUI, which is really what Windows CE does for you)
You can't really compare BitTorrent and E-Dinkey. They're too(sic) different things. It's like an apple to an orange orchard. They're not even in the same ballpark. E-Donkey is a P2P file sharing program, a la Napster, KaZaA, etc. BitTorrent is a protocol; A method for transfering files. You could very easily make a searchable BitTorrent network. But, hey. BitTorrent isn't meant to replace E-Donkey or whichever you wish.
Now that's just unfair. Just because you can't figure out how to customize your X window manager doesn't mean we should condemn the kernel that it happens to run on. If nothing else, XPDE. The default Gnome/Sawfish desktop has three icons. One is a shortcut to your home directory under Nautilus (read: A file manager superior to explorer), one is your recycle bin/trashcan/what-have-you, and the third is something I don't remember that I always delete.
If you increases resolution to something reasonable, it's not "screwed up and squished." Plus install your 100-dpi fonts, and you're good to go.
FWIW, I hate the Windows Start Menu. Ever seen the Programs folder for someone who's used their computer for a year, but doesn't meticulously sort it every month or so? Can we say, "A list of meaningless drivel that takes up two thirds of the screen"?
To refute your conclusion: A debian netinstall bootstrap takes up about 70MB. My kernel (after a run through make menuconfig) boots in 23 seconds.
I can't say it's not complicated, but let's imagine two linked slider bars: At one end is complication and Custimzability, at the other end is Simplification and Let-Me-Do-It-For-You
Linux makes up for it. That's what the community is for. Windows community? Heh.
40% of web developers and website designers that were willing to answer the survey.
The unfortunate thing about surveys is that they're inherently skewed- Some people just don't like to answer surveys. ("Excuse me, sir. Do you like to laugh?")
As far as 802.11b: You can buy a SD/MMC or CompactFlash (Both of which are supported by the Axim) for about $80. And that's not really too pricey, considering that it's 1"-square.
I'd already ordered an Axim before reading this. I'm just a tad upset that they don't ship until two weeks into december. But, hey. Delayed gratification is good, right?
Neck injuries caused by roller coasters are not because of the G forces. They are caused by people straining unnaturally against the G-forces. Basic high school physics. Come on, now.
This is the last post I'll make about this. However, "Perfect for every public machine I find that has network access w/dhcp enabled." -- Public machines generally aren't publicly owned.
That's cheating. The spirit of Seti@Home is to find aliens, or something. So, it's helpful. However, I don't think it's ethical for one to extend your scores using other peoples' computers. Make a generic account for that purpose, or else hereafter be labelled Bob. Yes, Bob.
Guild Navigators can't fold space. They can only see the future and guide their ships appropriately. The spice doesn't allow people to fold space, or else Muad'dib would just be flat out God, and that would go against the Orange Catholic Bible. Yeah.

Somehow, I have a feeling that if m$ ever did open the Word source, our friends are StarOffice and OpenOffice.org would look at it and say,
"Holy crap this is a piece of shit."

BitTorrent, in my experience, is significantly less centralized. E-Donkey is a P2P file sharing program. BitTorrent is a protocol...
I can read beautifully on my Dell Axim's 320x240 transflective display with a white-on-black font.
Now that's just unfair.

I've never personally bought a Linux distro, so I guess the three computers I have Debian on don't count as running Linux. Damn.

Drivers or no, I seem to remember a Tom's Hardware review wherein the Creative cards blasted everything else out of the water.
...Because, of course, CPU architecture is the most important detemrining factor of structural integrity.
Heh, it'd have to, since it runs so damn hot anyway.
My boss - the Network Administrator - is named Tom...
I'm sure we're just feeling the aftereffects of SQL Slammer- Internet slowdowns still running around.
At my office, we weren't vunerable because we /didn't/ upgrade. We were still running SQL 7.. Just goes to show you...
