Anyone know if a 19" LCD exists yet with a monitor switch on it (i.e. dual inputs controlled by a switch on the front)? That's my next acquisition goal...
My apologies. I am using WinCe 3.0. Still have all the problems I listed above. Maybe HP doesn't have it's hardware set yet. It's an HP5455. Should be great, right? Another good reason to avoid the bleeding edge...
Have you ever tried to effectively work off a WinCe device? They're great for processes where you do the same task over and over, but actually trying to do any real work (translation: work that actually requires thinking in addition to just typing or clicking) is almost painful. The WinCe 2.0 OS is still chock full of bugs. I regularly have to reset my iPAQ because the OS has a memory leak (at least as far as I can tell; no apps running and the memory used count just goes higher and higher...). Don't even get me started on missing functionality in applications. Maybe embedded devices work better, but if the consumer version of the OS is anything like the embedded version, no thanks! Give me a realllly old copy of the embedded version of OS/2 any day, or Linux, or anything else...
Not really sure when Google first started using this method of web indexing, but it seems to me that at least they are patenting it fairly soon after they came up with it. I also don't know of anyone else with pre-existing examples of this --- unlike 3/4 of the other "web patent" crap that's been claimed by various and sundry organizations...
My vote is for the RF noise being picked up by the unshielded soundcard. Just think --- the companies making the cards are constantly trying to find ways to make them cheaper. I mean, just how far can they go adding new features before the average person can't tell the difference anymore. The only thing left at that point is to find ways to make your product more cheaply than any of your competitors, and one way to do that is to not bother with the engineering involved in making an RF shielded card...
"Hate my people? I love my people! PULL!"
Just one comment... Since when has consensus ever been a valid method of determining what is factual? All you have to do is take a look at HISTORY to see that groups of people deciding something is so does not necessarily equate with it being so.
