I have it from sprint. It's like any other palm device, not perfect - but you learn how to work around it. If you find the phone resetting, just remove the last stuff you installed. I sync everyday at home, and at work - so it's not a big deal for me.
What I love about my treo 650 camera phone & video phone (good for caller ID, and great shots of friends boobs - I don't argue, I just enjoy) NES, GG, PCE, etc. EMULATORS mp3, avi, mpeg, divx, etc playback converter - if you have a palm, you need this app mRing (mp3 ringtones) Bluetooth - great in a movie theatre before the show - someone always has a BT phone close by.
Modem speed is ok, good enough to VNC to my home box when I need to or just get bored.
On an average day - I play some NES games, chat on AIM (verichat), listen to mp3's, VNC home to check downloads, check email, check www.myspace.com for new messages, and I think that's it.
I was there Friday and Saturday. Caught the Keynote by Kevin and a few other great discussions. Video Cameras were rolling, I'm sure video's will be available later.
For anyone who might have caught a glimpse of me, I was the guy with two armbands and a green laser pointer(I believe the only green laser pointer @ Hope).
Looks like Lucas made a crossword

It's right there, second column, 1-4 letters down. Yep, "poon". Don't miss the other words:
TAB, BAT, POON, HER, BJ, NEO, TOT, etc.
Seems to me that lucas might have some explaining to do.
so states the anonymous coward....
Never thought of it as a "tech-induced hole", but I have to admit I like the sound of the phrase.
I can assure you, as much as I enjoy my toys - I do tend to engage in the pursuit of girls semi-regularly. Some needs can't be filled by technology.
Perhaps we should put this on the list under "Duke Nukem Forever"?
I upgraded my existing machine with a GF FX5950 - mostly so I could play with this game. But with the leaked art of Quake IV and the impending release (eventually) of Doom III and HL2, I'm already saving to build a machine just for gaming. Quad Raptors in Raid-0 with a motherboard full of ram, at 26 years old - this is likely to be the last time I can justify dropping a few grand on building a machine. I play games less and less now, due to work, and friends. Still I keep buying tech toys - rarely for a true need, mostly for the compulsory instinct to buy new toys.
I don't go out to eat, I'd rather cook at home - it's healthier and leaves more money for toys. I'm an IT guy, and frankly I love my job - don't really feel the need for a vacation very often (and I have over 2 weeks vacation left over from last year to prove this), even when it's busy and I put in the occasional 24 hour shift - I don't really mind - just need sleep. My social life and sleep patterns have never been any good, and I usually sleep between 2am and 7am. It's a habit I started back in the early 90's while dialup BBS's kept me up all night. My friends think I'm crazy for opting to spend my nights at home online and alone - instead of out at the bar or club. But for me, I'd rather read a book, watch some TV, and run on the treadmill. I'd rather work under the hood of a car with my friends then sit on the couch or in some bar watching sports. I find little in common with the average people I meet at bars and clubs. I've got a string of short relationships behind me, and I'm just not in the mood for more of the same. My money is saved for tech toys, and the occasional roadtrip/vacation with friends.
These things are worth something now.
Fisher Price PXL2000 was a camcorder designed for kids. It would record on a standard audio tape in black and white with mono sound. The lens had a way of pixelizing things, student filmmakers still play with these for fun. I've even seen them modded.
It's on the very long list of toys I plan on buying someday.
Where are you finding that price??? Realize that you would want to stick with the JB series of drives. 3 year warranty being the main reason - 8MB cache being the other.
What resolution do you run at? I game at 1280x1024 all options turned up to the max. I can assure you that my FX5900 is a marked improvement over my TI4600. Before that I had an ATI AIW8500DV - but that card was a piece. I still have my ATI AIW128Pro 32mb AGP doing a nice job on capture.
Old hardware can be usefull, but everything has it's place.
I have a Chaintech GeForce FX5950, and I love it. I don't care if someone can flash their card to upgrade it. But I also realize that like all processors they are binned, and as such - my own card runs a bit cooler in the end.
Iomega Clik! Drive: In 1999, just as recordable CDs started getting really cheap and popular, Iomega released its own proprietary way to write nearly 40 gigabytes of data to a removable disk. Hyped as both a replacement for the floppy, and a portable storage device for Digital Cameras, it was just too expensive to compete with either CDR or flash memory. The blanks alone cost around $10. Worse, the Clik drive was doomed by a problem with Iomega's popular Zip drives. Those devices had an annoying habit of spectacularly failing - taking a user's data along to the grave, as well. Before failing, the drives emitted an ominous clicking noise, quickly dubbed the "Click of Death." The Clik! drive didn't have the Click of Death, but it quickly followed the Zip drive into hell.
Yep, this guy just showed us what an I D 10 t he can be.
Then again, I've made the mistake of saying my first computer a IBM Model 55sx had a 30GB HD instead of a 30MB HD.
How many read Ender's Game and really, really felt it deep in their heart?
Read it for the 1st time in 3rd grade. I couldn't even begin to count how many copies of that book I have given as gifts. The rest of the series isn't bad either. But nothing is the same as that first book.
The enemies gate is down.
It is worth pointing out that W&W II - Ironsword was a great sequel. Hell, I can still hear the music in my head.
Anyone else have random 8-bit music flashbacks and then spend an entire day waiting to go home and load up the rom?
here's a few options
1. Don't buy that lappy
2. Partition Magic
3. Buy a copy of XP media on CD from M$, explain that you already have a license and just need the media. (good luck, but it can be done)
I wish I may, I wish I might. Get the very first post tonight.
This should be a great opportunity to find out all sorts of interesting tidbits on/., I'm looking forward to it, though I doubt I will remember to log into irc.
Measure, Countermeasure, Rinse and Repeat.
I'm pretty sure most of us are no longer using KazaaLite, or Grokster. BitTorrent is surely the way to go for now. Unless you have the time to sit on IRC and play with fserve's and dcc all day.
I'm waiting for someone to name their file sharing idea "Hydra".
yep, that was the first thing I thought of. Although you would finally have an opportunity to piss on/fling shit at a microsoft product.
I mean, really it's just not feasable, they can't mount a camera inside to police the thing. It would be an endless opportunity for all sorts of bad bad things.
Then again, I might be the first in line if I was to see it.

Jello Biafra will be speaking today @ 2PM.

With a little more thought you would have resulted in: the motors bat pants object the bat pants, motors object. the motors object bat pants

I actually know quite a few gadget girls. But I've yet to find one who could link up their GP32 with mine.
and now the million dollar fix Put it on it's side.

is going oh so well.
Then again, considering the installed user base; I think they are doing ok. I know it's the cool thing to be anti-MS. But lets face it - sometimes:
"war is peace"
Warcraft III, photoshop....
