I'm happy with my Sony Ericsson T68i. I use it with iSync on OS X 10.3 without problems. It's a basic phone without useless extras like a built-in camera (though you can buy an add-on camera for it, IIRC). I only use bluetooth for syncing, I don't know if you can also use a bluetooth headphone with it.
I handle those mails one step before the Bayesian filtering kicks in. I use POPMonitor on Mac OS X to delete a lot of spam on the server with a few simple non-Bayesian filters, before downloading it and letting Eudora's (Bayesian) Junk Mail filter handle the rest. One of the rules I have in POPMonitor is: Delete if Subject is "hi". Mail from a trusted sender whose subject is "hi" would still get through, but in practice this never happens. Most of these "pretend it's personal mail" tricks from spammers don't work in my case because the personal mail I get is almost all Dutch and not English.
Of the 100+ spams I get per day, only about one actually ends up in my Inbox with this setup.

Try installing the X11 SDK from the Panther Xcode CD. I installed the X11 SDK and Fink 0.6.2 (in that order) and I haven't been asked by Fink to install XFree86.
That means you have one of them old powersupplies, those were recalled by Apple, I think you can still get them replaced for free (shipping ain't though).
I don't have the dual G4 anymore, I now have a single 1.8 GHz G5. I did replace the power supply of the G4 though, and while it was somewhat less noisier after that, the G5 is still a lot quieter.
But dual G4 vs. single G5... no contest, G4 is cheaper/equal price and faster with dual-capable tasks, and multitasking in general.
The dual G4 will sound like a plane taking off, though, while the G5 is pleasantly quiet. Probably not that important if you put in a server room somewhere, but something to consider if you have it next to your desk.
You could do this with the iPod/iTunes combination if you add the correct MP3 tags for Genre etc. and make 'Smart Playlists' that update automatically. If you do it like that you don't have to worry about the actual physical locations of your MP3 files.
By blocking out almost all of the external noise, you can listen at a lower volume level, and yet hear far more detail, clarity, and richness in the sound.
When I ride my bike to work while listening to my iPod I want to be able to hear the traffic around me, for my own safety. I'll do without the isolation.
No, you have to have a (possibly primitive) theory before you can "observe" anything. If you don't have a theory, you don't know what part of the world you are observing is relevant and what isn't. You need a theory to guide your observations, to filter out the signal from the noise. Karl Popper (aptly) talked about "searchlight theories" without which there can be no observation.
I usually carry a shoulder bag which has room enough for my gadgets (iPod, Palm, Sony Ericsson phone) and lots more. I don't feel the need to have the 'gadgets' on my person all the time.
Yeah, but a virus running as root (e.g. any application on windows) is going to do a helluva lot more damage than something running at user level.
Don't know about that. I'd say that the most valuable files for a user would be the files that are owned by themselves rather than the 'system files' owned by root. Speaking for desktops rather than servers here of course.

Everything can be consistent with 'a God that created the universe'. The notion (of a God that created the universe) is unfalsifiable, hence meaningless from a scientific point of view.
The mysql user must have administrative privileges to exploit the bug
ie. access to the mysql table itself
If that is the case, there should be no problem unless the specific database for your application is accessed with the MySQL 'root' user (which would be very bad design).

Killer Robots Storm Home of Bill Gates' Childhood Bully
SEATTLE, WA -- Walter Conrad, a 46-year old sporting-goods retail manager, was assaulted in his home by an army of killer Microsoft robots yesterday.
Conrad, who had tormented and teased Microsoft CEO Bill Gates when the two were in junior high school together, suffered minor injuries in the attack. He sustained
an estimated $120,000 in property damage.
According to a Seattle Police Department report, at approximately 8:20 p.m., six robots wielding large iron fists and saw-blade hands entered Conrad's home
and relentlessly pursued him. He only managed to escape death, police said, because of the robots "lumbering pace". The robots where later traced to a secret,
subterranean compound in nearby Redmond.
"He will not escape my armies next time," Gates said in a multimedia announcement, in which his image was broadcast on thousand of 40-foot-high closed-circuit
screens across the U.S. "He will not escape."
Is there anyone out there who has actually filled up a 20Gb Ipod and would want a 40Gb version?
I have a 10Gb iPod, but it has not nearly enough storage for my complete music collection.
The Gb's add up fast when you start ripping the works of just the major classical composers at 192 Kbps. There are also the numerous 'complete recordings of $jazz_artist on $label' boxes. Not to mention all those $label soul/blues box sets. And all my NWOBHM LP's from the eighties that I'm digitizing at the moment. Etc, etc. I could easily fill up a 40 Gb iPod.

the act itself (spam, booze) not the crimes that result from the act (bandwidth theft, drunk driving).
Sorry, this comparison doesn't make sense. Spam == bandwidth theft. Spam itself is the crime.

I think we'll have to wait for an update from MacPlay to make the game to work with Quicktime 6.4. (See MacPlay's NOLF2 support page.
In the meantime, I'm rebooting from an external Firewire drive with 10.2.8 / QT 6.3 if I want to play NOLF2.

I wonder if you also get a whole list of errors (in xterm) related to Gimp plugins and what looks like missing Perl modules when you start up Gimp?
I tried to solve it by installing the 'Gimp' Perl module with CPAN but the install failed.

Maybe they'll release a game console/set top box
They tried that, and failed, back in 1995.

I turn bluetooth on when I sync my phone with my Mac, and turn it off again when I'm finished. Why would anyone keep bluetooth on all the time?

HyperCard. I believe it is officially cancelled by Apple, but it is still for sale at the Apple Store.

I suspect the iPod becomes a throwaway item after a couple of years when the batteries won't hold a charge any more.
There are third-party battery replacements for the iPod available: http://www.pdasmart.com/ipodpartscenter.htm. (First item on the page.)
