It also taught me a lot: getting stuff working in the first 640K, installing hardware pre plug-and-play (IRQ and DMA settings), etc. Just like CP/M before it, Win3.11 was partly responsible for me becoming a geek.
How often do you have to change a partition size, anyway? Enough that it's a reason to avoid encryption? For the odd time you need this, decrypt, resize, and re-encrypt...I can't see why your average research scientist would *want* to mess with repartioning his laptop.
Google won't, XDA-developers.com probably will. Most activity when I last checked was around porting it to the Kaiser but the chipset of most current HTC handsets are very similar...
Get yourself a recent WinMo phone off ebay for cheap, and run Android on it. The G1 is very similar to many of HTC's current WinMo phones and Android's already been ported to the Kaiser. See XDA-developers.com for details.
This was available on my first GSM phone, way back in around 1995-96 on UK's Orange network.
However, the two lines are both on Orange - i.e. you can't "clone" your work SIM/number onto line 2, which makes it less useful. Great if you ran your own business, or if you could persuade your employer to pay for your 2nd line rather than supplying you with a company phone and company contract though.
I disagree. Look at what historians are working with now to construct a view of what life used to be like - they're using people's snapshots, their diaries, their birth, marriage and death certificates - all these help us record history. Sure, ephemera like this might not be crucially important to an individual, but to a society it *is* important if you want to have any sense of history.
Hell, a discarded ring pull/glass bottle/flint arrowhead/tooth from a dinosaur weren't considered particularly important at the time but if we didn't have any of this then a lot of history might as well have not happened.
I'm in the UK. Jagermeister's still mainly a German liqueur rather than a lifestyle choice, although you can see the odd emo kid with a Jagermeister sticker on his Macbook these days - you know, smashing the system.
Don't think JM and RB is that big in the UK, which - as I'm sure you're aware - is the world's capital of drinking. Pints.
Fair enough. I stopped obsessing over HTC somewhere between my Wizard and my Artemis - the majority were 2.5mm (gaah!) headset connectors there, with a few of the mini usb odd ones. Check out the (unique, as far as I can tell) connector they used on the 8500 StarTrk for giggles...
It's not really a problem at all as far as I'm concerned although I guess if you're aiming a device people who want a cool phone and an ipod you're going to invite controversy if you can't plug "normal" phones into it.
Still wish the iPhone did A2DP though.
HTC have a few phones with their modified-usb-socket synch/charge/headphone connectors. Ebay has lots of vendors selling little adaptors that let you plug normal headphones into the socket. Oh, and there's A2DP. These are work arounds, but not particuarly awful ones...
When the 1st gen iPhone's first jailbreak software came out, the UK Apple stores at the time had an official, printed posted behind the Genius bar stating that (to paraphrase) you were sh1t out of luck if you were coming in with a phone that you'd jailbroken, and had subsequently been hosed by the Apple firmware update. Remember that one? When, for a few weeks, it looked like you'd irreversibly bust your phone as you'd overwritten the baseband and the new Apple firmware didn't correct it?
Bear in mind that a lot of prepay phones "terminate" if they aren't used for a period of time.
In the UK, several networks have an automatic cancel-the-number if it's not used for 3 months, for example. This is a bit of an inconvenience if you have an emergency PAYG phone in the glovebox, for example.
1) Record compressed video to optical disk, then rip it from DVD to MB, and edit the compressed video vs import and edit uncompressed and compress on render - if you've ever tried editing compressed video it's very processor intensive and obviously lossy.
2) Can't think of any DVD-recording camcorder that doesn't use 8cm mini DVDs. Stick one of those in your Mac slotloader and you'll be looking at a mother of a job fixing it.

My 2.4GHz phone *does* interfere with my wifi, you insensitive clod!
Isn't everyone using Evernote for this now?
It's part of a hidden, encrypted data stream!

Interestingly, changing an IMEI number in the UK can get you FIVE YEARS IN PRISON. Seems a tad harsh, but there you go.
you know that the Migration Assistant works over ethernet, yeah?
Argh, I've done it again, I'm posting on Slashdot. Anyone else able to make it past 11am without pointing their browser somewhere unrelated to work?
Can I commend you for standing on your RAZR? I wanted to do this from the moment my company issued me with one.
