Seriously, there are consumer laws and if you just type that (ok, so you're a geek, cut'n'paste it, then) to google...
I don't know about USA, but in my country there are laws against false advertising and even actual penalties should it occur. Trying to keep to the topic somewhat, though, I'm not sure I'd be worried about the silver content of a paste, but rather about the actual heat conductivity of it.
Just a quick question, though. Why? I mean, obviously it IS there and therefore has to be done, but... So, when do we get Linux for the Nokia nGage? Linux for HP48, anyone? =)
On the other hand, the geek in me is clapping his hands at another small (I do believe someone mentioned small in the article) milepost for the geek community but on the gripping hand... Oh well. It seems like someone was bound to do it. Hope something good comes out of it. Good luck, guys
Other than the cattle prod, I believe this would actually be a fair punishment or at least one fitting the crime. Something like internet community service if you wanna put it that way. And to get the sentence over, you have to filter away as many spam messages as you sent (yes, I realize this might be a bit difficult to implement) and every false positive would increase the amount you need to filter by 100 messages or something.
The only downside I see in this is I'm not sure I'd like to have a spammer in a position where he can read my email.
Allrighty then, how about just having NetBSD printed with the standard system font as a logo, then? Call it a minimalist no-nonsense logo, or something.
Silly thing. Your brain already controls numerous appendixes such as your eyes (hope you got them, otherwise sorry for being an insensitive clod) without science fully understanding all of the brain.
Sorta like the Wright brothers: they didn't have all the complex flow equations for the wings. Instead they thought to wing it;)
Vaporware 2003 list released. We have a new winner, too. Topping the score of Duke Nukem Forever, we now have something called Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction
did anyone else notice that they didn't mention weight at all? Usually the trouble with cheaper laptops has been that they have been quite a strain on your arm and with nothing mentioned about the weight here I'm afraid this one might be, too
I have trouble remembering all my acquintances' telephone numbers as it is. No need for them to change numbers every day or anything, without my PDA I won't remember more than a handful of numbers.
Nothing prevents it, and at least in my school all calculators with memory were banned. Or rather they handed you a list of calculators allowed and you bought one or used your fingers
Perhaps before saying you might wanna try, say, powerOne calculator for the PalmOS. Don't want to pay for a calculator program? Head to, say, freewarepalm.com and look under the cathegory "calculators"
I don't see much difference in having touch-screen buttons as opposed to hard buttons except that I can change and configure the touch-screen to my liking.
Now, in Amazon.com a HP49G costs you $159.95 whereas a Palm Zire 71 sets you back $227.40, in the same store. Depending on whether you want a calculator with lotsa neat features or a complete PDA is up to you. There's quite a bit useless stuff in the Zire if you only want a calculator, such as the (not very good) integrated camera and the (not too bad) MP3 player and a 320x320 pixel color display. Then again, if you only want a calculator, you may not want to pay $150 for it.
PPC side of the coin not supported because I like my handhelds to work.
If they only made olympic gold medals so that you'd only get to keep it if you lived until you were, say, 50. That'd keep your average uber-doped people out of it, I think.
I mean, tho whole point of anti-doping is to try and keep it healthy, yes? No-one's trying to ban Gatorade or anything...
That one'll get you a bit less than 2 hours of time to save everything that needs to be saved. Then again, if you ain't at home, what are the odds you'll be back before your 2 hours is up?
I'd say it's more effective to keep your systems (at least the critical ones) in a state that more or less automatically recovers from forced shutdowns.
It's not like you'll be doing much surfing with everyone else's power being out, too =)
the law in Finland (IANAL, but still) says "if you know or SHOULD know..." I believe this one falls under the "should know" category.
Now that we're on this topic, though, does anyone know where to get a virus that downloads high quality images of nubile women with scant clothing who are of legal age?
...who thinks that installing applications is not quite THAT hard? Most applications today have FAQs, manual and documentation both online and as text files that come with the source code. Usually you don't even need to read them, typing./configure
make
make install
seems to take care of 98.07% of the applications available today. If that is difficult, does everybody go to the car mechanic to empty the ash tray in their car, too?

If it's Microsoft the article is about, it's bad. No exceptions.
If it's about Linux, it's good. Also no exceptions.

There must be different kinds of mussel glues, though, as some mussels really DO taste like glue...

Just how exactly is this more amazing than, say, the Palm OS SDK that has already been out for a while?
