Honestly, I doubt they're that useful to the NASA people either. I guarantee that mission plans are still done in local time. They'd mostly bhe useful for finding out sunrise/sunset, something that could also be done in local time.
Would this edition be suitable for trying on Linux as my main desktop PC without comitting myself to partitioning and installing? I'd like to see how well my Windows apps perform under whatever the mdoern equivalent of WINE is...
Not only that, but it's good for the Linux guys who won't touch a Windows PC for religious reasons. Now they just need to choose Start->Shut Down->Restart, which maybe isn't Penguin-kosher but they can get away with...:)
Microsoft Head Office has refused to add Hebrew support to Office v.X. Microsoft Israel had offered to foot the localization costs (probably a stupid move), but Microsoft refused them.
I've got a mass of lego that's 20 years old hidden away in a box. It's still perfectly servicable. SOME of that set is a generation older. Why would I bug a new set for my kids, when I have them? The product is too durable, I think, for it's own good.
The article mentions that Real plays songs using Apple's QuickTime and iTunes. That isn't available on Linux, so I very much doubt it is capable of playing iTMS songs on Linux.

No, I'm Canadian. Bwah hah hah. ;)

They're primarily toys. But they're cool toys.
You can have one! Just not yet, and who knows at what cost...
After he accommodates all rover team members who wish to own a custom-made Mars watch, he will market his patented rarity to the public.
How's it go?
As a Martian, I for one welcome our new Earthling overlords!
Totally, completely useless. A complete waste of money.
When will they be available to the public? And how much? I want one.
The phones also include a SIM card and are locked to a particular network.
It also integrates with the Sony Clie and many other Palms with the help of MarkSpace's Missing Sync product.
FYI, Canada has the same system (i.e. phones only work on the carrier you bought them from). So that's not it.

I figured it out with a little help up above some, but they ought to put your paragraph on their web site... :)

Nevermind, I've got it now. I thought when they said "run" they meant "run the installer." Now it makes a lot more sense to me. :)
Oho! Now I've got it. Thanks, rackman.
Seems a kooky reason to name a product. "Looky, we can finally install off a CD, let's rename the product!" seems a bit odd... :)
I don't really understand what the Move part of it means. Is that move from Windows, move around, mobile...? The web site doesn't seem to explain.
You're correct. My mistake, I was typing too fast or something.

Microsoft's money was well spent, wasn't it?

This looks like a good change to me. I can't imagine there would be an outcry over this if Verisign hadn't previously implemented the SiteFinder dung.
Are custom motherboards a rare thing in the PC laptop world? That seems pretty unlikely to me.

Although someone, somewhere has probably tried it...
I swear, you guys gave me a quote of $6.35 for a new Latitude.
It isn't the caffiene that causes kidney stones, it's the phosphoric acid.
Whatever your new addiction turns out to be, make sure it doesn't have phosphoric acid. Citric acid is fine.
