I love my HTPC, I wish I could record (or at least watch) HBO-HD on it.
You live in the wrong place then. In Oz we get the best HBO shows in hi-def DRM-free DVB over free-to-air.
Of course they add 50% to the show length by mixing in adverts, so you need an HTPC to cut them out. I wish we could just pay for cable instead of "free" with adverts.
Firewire provides much faster transfer speeds than USB 2.0
What about eSATA? That is the newer faster replacement for firewire in high-bandwidth uses. Steve wouldn't kill firewire without providing eSATA, would he?
Then why can't we use mobiles when flying across Australia or western Canada? You're lucky to be in range of even one tower outside of takeoff and landing.
Nuclear power only looks cheap if you don't factor in the cost of waste storage and 'disposal.'
You could say the same about coal and oil, only more so. They only look cheap because the waste CO2 is just dumped in the atmosphere. Factor in the cost of carbon sequestration, if its even possible, and see which is cheaper.
What else can you film in only 6 minutes?

The Virgin "two-hour" flight includes only "up to six minutes" of weightlessness. Its like a bigger version of the Vomit Comet.
So you ain't going to have time to shoot a zero-G period drama. What else but pr0n in that time? With multiple camera
angles and some slow-mo, you might stretch it to a 15-minute reel.
Yeah they put you into prison for stuff like killing, robbing or raping people. I was shocked!
If thats all it was, the US would not have far-and-away the highest imprisonment rate in the developed world. Huge number are in prison for victimless "vice" offenses - drugs and sex. So much for freedom.
Amazing isn't it? The US government spends more money per-capita on health care than Australia, Canada, Japan or most European governments do, but still has no universal heath care.
Sorry, looks like I was wrong about Apple, but the others do support IMAP IDLE with their starndard apps. The iPhone may need to be jailbroken, and have a 3rd-party notifier.
Thats all you need - a small program to keep an IMAP IDLE connection, and then launch your preferred mail app when it detects new mail.
Then why the blazes do so few pocket PC-style devices support it?
Its an old protocol. Lots of devices use it. Symbian phones, Nokia N8x0, Palm Treo, iPhone even.
When you say "pocket PC-style", do you mean Microsoft?
though the server doesn't send the email itself, the client still has to request it
Thats no different to any other "push" email.
The client initiates the connection - "here i am", and the server starts sending packets when an email is received. With IMAP IDLE, the client could be waiting many minutes for a reply packet.
Two bad cliched metaphors in one! Its not a peak, and its not a barrier, just another arbitrary milestone. Who writes this crap?
Oh... a "professional" writer from an industry magazine. That figures.
This guy should enter the The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest
That works well, until you get "sorry your account has been disabled" from Google. Then run in circles with only auto-responders to your increasingly desperate emails begging for help.
Its supposed to be 1-2Mbps, which is HSDPA. I read/. frequently over this, and it works fine.
Either you were using a non-HSDPA phone/modem, or the network was congested.
in fact, all suicides who have been stopped or unsuccessful have reached a point later in their life where they were glad they didn't succeed
What a ridiculous over-gerneralisation. If their reasons were sound, then either they get it right the second time, or it's too late an they have to die naturally and horribly. Maybe like this poor lady - too weak to take the Nembutal, and vomiting up excrement.

my dream of owning a pink Prius.
That would be the car with an "O"-face.
In Austria they only prefer BMWs because of the better 'roo-bars.
So you can get 8 "+1 funny" and 3 "-1 overrated" and loose karma?

Dictatorships are run by dictators. Monarchies are run by monarchs.
So I guess the US is a country?
Oh wait - that joke doesn't work in written form.
How do I prepare it, just drop it into a pot of boiling water or what?
Delicately simmer in a pot of its mother's milk.

i assume you dont hibernate, thats the only reason i have 1x my ram in swap.
You don't need compression to have less swap than RAM. Much of your RAM will be used as disk cache, which obviously doesn't need saving on hibernate.

Plus the US did it purely from their intelligence and work
Yes, and the best German scientists money could buy.
and he STILL hasn't caught those who planned/directed/masterminded the attack.
Pardon?! The guy has been in US custody since 2003.

They support IMAP. But not IDLE.

I use VoIP over 3G all the time. With the standard g729 codec, it works fine. I can't speak for AT&Ts network.
It was easier in the old days of acoustic modems, when we just whistled into our telephones.

Nano's actually decent for coding as well. You can set it up to do tab completion, code colourization, and other things ...
But does it have a full IDE, web-browser, calendar, IRC, spreadsheet, email, calculator, psychiatrist and canonised author?
