Who made your Guide clone? The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, of course. The marketing division claims that the lack of updates "Is a feature". I should have bought an original Guide.
Perhaps this static memory would include music files, and books from Project Gutenberg that are in the public domain.
I guess this would make the PDAs akin to the Hitchikers Guide to the Universe.
If I know those Vogon bastards, they'll make an alliance with the RIAA, the MPAA and Microsoft, and make their poetry public domain to kill us open source people. But then, public domain books could aid terrorism, so then the Vogons will have the US government on their backs.
BTW, my edition still says "Earth: Mostly harmless" when is the new updates comming in on the sub-etha net? I think my clone complies with the RFCs.
I guess it really depends on where you live, but at least in my neighborhood, power is interrupted much more often than either cable or phone. So then you have to go online and watch TV in the dark. Much as how they did before electric power was invented.
So what is, Ishkibble's name and SSN then? He can have hundreds of nerds checking up on him. And if he doesn't do his homework, Trogdor is going to burninate him.
The scary thing is that some good social engineering versus the school is bound to turn up some SSN's if you just have the name of a student.
Will this make the local paper? Will they call Slashdot a "site for hackers"?
Whiney sibling: "Mom, Billy has homework."
Billy: "No I don't, liar!" Whiney sibling: "Oh yeah, that's not what the webpage says!"
Depending how the setup is, that might not require hacking the site itself. All the sibling has to do is download the HTML document, change it, and then show it to the parents.
I would love to see a terrorist crash a train into the world train centers.
Oh, no! I foresee a Jerry Bruckheimer movie comming.
And allthough many people don't like the French these days, I still don't want to see a train crashing into the world train centers. (Paris and Berlin?)
Room temperature supercondition would open up so many possibilities
And if they were able to raise that temperature, they might be able to make the enormous electro magnets needed to keep fusion matter away from the walls of a fusion reactor. The problem before (if ever) hot super-conductors are made, is that either - the electro magnet would melt from the heat of the fusion or - the electrical resistance in the electro magnet would heat it up so much that it melts.
It's not absolutely sure that this is the way we will be making fusion reactors, but it seems like a good idea. (The other way is with frickin' laser beams.)
Actually, I think I would have preferred it in a glass back then, but all we had was that plastic tube. You had a plastic tube? Back in my day we could only dream about plastic tubes. We had to drink from a copper tube, which gave us copper poisoning after drinking too much. But that was better than the glass tubes that would break, and give us internal cuts. In fact, we were lucky if we had a tube at all. Usually, our father would just stick our heads in the barrel, and wouldn't let us up before we had drowned. Then he would give us heart compression with a hammer, and give us the "kiss of life" with a bicycle pump.
The last high-end Amigas that Commodore put out was the A4000 and the A4000T. For years we waited for the A5000, but all we got was this , this and this (handy for buffer overflows).
One of my university tutors, a Ph.D. in circuit design, told the students about the first working GSM phone, made with standard logic components. It was, I think, some 4 or 5 heavy boxes, about 50cm x 50 cm x 50 cm. And you did need a trolly unless you were participating in "the Strongest Man in the World Contest".

Post-It Notes
Review on infosyncworld.
The main gripe they have is the lack of Bluetooth, and that the IR diode isn't any stronger.
But are there not Bluetooth cards for the SD port?
These people want to do video conferencing via 14.4k modem
That solution allready exists. Post a sneakermail address, and we'll discuss the terms.

What? You forgot to include "In Soviet Russia".
That is what the Preview button is for. OK?

I'm a big OpenBSD fan (own all the teeshirts), but those two items are a big pain in the butt.
You must be wearing them wrong...
bombs or other WMDs
Just wondering: do you think regular high explosive bombs to be "Weapons of Mass Destruction"?
Or is this some kind of New-speak on your part?
- Multi-tasking kernel.
- Windowing system and themeable GUI toolkit.
- Screen-saver.
- TCP/IP stack for Internet networking, either with RS-232/SLIP or Ethernet (PPP is under development).
- Personal webserver for convenient file transfer. (Only in the C64/TFE version.)
- Simple telnet client. (Only in the RS232/SLIP version.)
- Web browser for Internet web surfing. (Worlds first web browser for 8-bit systems!

You will need a modem, though.

Here is an undocumented parameter: fsck -s +u This may help if your pr0n partition is corrupted.
But before doing that, some people like to run: fsck -f +u
I think we need to come up with a better name for the discs, perhaps Compact Frisbees.
