  1. Re:Only EU has growing market for PDA's on palmOne Releases Two New Zire Handhelds · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i think one Japanese girl hit something like 95wpm.
    The fact she's known for that proves not everyone is able to achieve those rates ;)
    Plus, there's a big possibility predictive texting would improve qwerty keyboard typing too...

    Seriously, i have a nokia 6600, what can the Zire's do that the 6600 cant.
    IMHO, phone miss at least one major feature: the ability to enter date fast and "almost intuitively". Seriously, writing a short message is rather a pain - taking notes with 10 keys? Please, no!

  3. Broadband is not necessarily useful in itself... on Many Internet Users Happy With Dial-Up · · Score: 1, Informative

    Well, I live in France and here, you get to pay for the phone communications while you're on dial-up. DSL access is mainly a way to get unlimited internet time for a given amount of money. We do have "broadband" offers (well, they call it this way) as low as 128Kb/s... :)
    Plus, it is a way to still be available by the phone while you're on the internet.
    So I guess the statistical could be rather different here... I'm wondering.

    Well...
    My dad used to tell he was playing Game of Life without a screen ('cos he had none)... printing each iteration.
    OK, it was > 20 years ago....

    IMHO it is completely pointless unless your VCR and DVD player are wireless too....

    Third option * Format Windows, install Linux. No less security flows, but no intrusive EULA.

    maybe we could avoid networks shutdowns at school due to "sorry, the cables are in the cave..."
