Not played with anything other than my phone (Phillips Fisio 825) and a pc dongle, but I had to put a 4 digit code into the pc so the phone would accept the "pairing" and allow the pc access to dial-up etc. AFAIK thats the standard way of doing things specifically to stop hijacking. However I have swapped phone numbers with another phone with Bluetooth so I'd guess simple transactions are possible. As for general sniffing, the whole design of BT with Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum was to make it impossible to tap into. As for the antennas I'd guess you'll see some increase with a similar antenna to your 802.11 mods but dont expect wonders BT was never designed for the same range, its all about power saving.
Of all the formats to moan about, try the sony memory stick on the clies. propriatary format, more expensive than SD/MMC last time I checked and about to become incompatable with itself with memory stick pro. The advantages of SD are the size, protected content can be put on it hence Secure Digital and if you wanna moan about all protection is bad, use an MMC, slightly smaller cheaper in places, uses the same slot. And the most important thing compatability. All new camcorders afaik except sony take SD cards and loads of stills take SD, plenty of mp3 players take MMCs, my old phone took an MMC. And heres something insightful, google palm SDIO, theres an add on camera, a bluetooth card, a wifi card coming up, a video out for presentations. Nothing but memory?
Hehe, I'm waiting to upgrade later this summer, so I'm still running an overclocked TNT2 m64 on passive heatsink with a bog standard retail case and its still amazingly stable. And I own at enemy territory.
Weird that some of the best UK ads are for American products like the bud frogs. Also, for all the Americans complaining about the volume on ads, in the uk we have a law or regulation that means the ads are limited to the same volume as the program.
Ok theres some valid points there with the tv tuner and the high quality sound cards, but thinking about it, theres the creative labs extigy and some generic tv tuner that connect via USB. So in conclusion, its always nice to have a standard way of adding functionality to a pc, but excuse me while i go buy some shares in some SFF manufacturer and never use another pci slot in my life.
Yup I was thinking of that exact motherboard when I posted, read about it on [H] this morning, but its one of the very few I've seen so I'm generalising.
Exactly, check out the i875 chipset design on the 3rd page of the anadtech article and everything there without using pci, with a springdale/canterwood/nforce2 even, motherboard everything but the kitchin scsi is built in, expansion cards are becoming useless on average machines as proved by the huge growth of laptops and small form factor computers.
As long as the agp slot keeps up with the pace then graphics cards will be happy and pci/pci-express cards will only be useful for workstation/server machines.
Can anyone actually think of a useful expansion card that wouldn't duplicate something on a new motherboard (occasional firewire ommisions and scsi excluded)?
I own a palm (m500) and would consider buying this phone/pda if the price isnt too high.
To answer the problems above, have you ever tried to fit a 320/320 screen into a pocket you'd usually put a mobile phone in? The screen is bigger and looks clearer than my current 128/128 colour phone screen. If you ever use a palm you'll quickly find that unless you're trying to put videos or mp3s in the memory, then even 8mb is enough I've not managed to fill my m500s 8mb yet even with a full suite of office apps and games. As for the processor well it doesnt compete with pockets pcs but it doesnt have to, palm os is at home on a 16mhz dragonball which at a stretch will do full screen b/w video on the m500. And finally the keyboard, does everyone have homer style fat fingers or something I've never had a problem with small buttons and I'm a 6ft 200lb bloke.
I'm pretty sure wasnt, but anyway I'm guessing the april fools thing your thinking of is the George forman iGrill on thinkgeek.com which yeah is kinda impossible on the 600mA my usb controller supplies.:)
as long as it has a usb connection, I'm sure I've seen a usb powered coffee warmer and I'm pretty sure I didn't dream up that usb ladies pleasure accesorry.
IM on mobile phones being sms text messages which havent caught on in the US, and not long ago, I was forced to do repetative excercises using "joined up" letters so I could write cursively. But whether digitally or on paper, I still prefer writing cursingly than cursively.
That honestly could have been modded funny. The cars are IR - infra red controlled and a lot of modern phones have IR ports on them, so just a litle program on the phone to send the right signals and presto phone controlled cars.

How is a programmer who sleeps in front of his terminal a misfit around here?
Loss of revenue for a start, since the start of the internet, more local calls to the isp, but less national/international calls since email/im/voip is much cheaper.
You can always trust M$ to fill anything, echoes of a 640k related quote.
And if you rtfa then the technology is based on existing hard drive technology, the protiens are just used to coat the surface of the platter with a higher density than is possible otherwise.
Aaand since its based on existing technology, you can expect similar or faster speeds since speed has increases along with density.
read carefully, "are in mini-itx's", in being the operative word suggesting that VIA cpu's are used on mini-itx boards. Check your not confusing micro-atx or flex-atx since AFAIK (www.mini-itx.com) they all come with permanantly attatched cpu's to lower costs.
www.vertu.com, not exactly your average joe phone, but since the case is jewel encrusted solid gold/platinum/silver etc. the insides can be swapped out for the latest technology. Assuming you can afford the £16k for it. If you'd spend that on a phone though i bet you'd have enough redundant earnings to be upgrading the inside monthly.

Did anyone else think its weird ATI and Nvidia sponsoring the same event?
Maybe Asus/Abit as well but thats not an as obvious rivalry.

No need for neon signs anymore, just put the menu on display.

and so attatched to the board anyway, making pin compatibility a non-issue.
