I love running over people with the grav cycle.
The only problem that I've noticed is that it really seems to get slow after playing for a while... must have memory leaks...
DOS based, plenty of FREE software, enough processing power to type text and do serial communication, perfectly usable keyboard, PCMCIA slot, exceptional battery life.
It is the most practical PDA that I have ever owned.
Think of all the areas out in the sticks that don't get PCS coverage.
Also, think of all of the people, like me, who don't pay $45 or more a month to afford the "luxury" of being interrupted all of the time by a portable ringing nuisance. Until cell phones get darned cheap or my employer requires me to have one, I will stay cell-free.
Pay phones are hopefully going to be around for a long time.
At the moment, scietists don't know what makes up at least 88% of the universe. This claim has been verified by scientists' observing the effects of gravity on objects in the night sky. To account for odd galatic rotational curves and inexpicable escape velocities, cosmologists coined a term - "dark matter."
Recently, a friend of mine was fortunate enough to beta-test an alpha-version of the QuickTake 1500sq. I suggested that he try snapping a shot of the sky using the QuickTake and a new NikkorSquant telephoto lens. Our results were astounding.Here's a picture of the night sky that I made with my Nikkon Coolpix; and for comparison, here is one that my friend took with the 1500sq.
If you have a new squant-enabled monitor, it is obvious that a great deal of the matter in the universe is actually squant-colored.
"Why haven't other astronomers discovered this truth?" you may ask. Well, most astronomers are near-sighted and wear glasses. Unfortunately, at present, all glasses are manufactured with materials that are opaque to squant and do not transmit the new hue properly. Also, all telescopes currently in use do not have squant-compliant optics; as a result, squant cannot be detected on any equipment of this sort. Squant optics are so expensive and so volatile that most scientists will not be enchanted with the idea of having to retrofit Keck with squant optics.
In the 1930s, Zwicky and Smith, two fellows who were observing the Coma cluster and Virgo cluster of galaxies' velocities, were criticized for their work. They were attempting to estimate the mass of the clusters given escape velocity. However, these fellows were critized for a phenomenon known as 'contamination.'
However, I hypothesize that this 'contamination' was actually the presence of large varieties of Squant-colored mass (SCM) inside of the Virgo cluster. This 'contamination' was actually caused by spectral absorption of squant-colored emissions by other matter present in the cluster. This matter was excited by the squant-colored radiant energy and re-emitted light at lower wavelengths - much more like the better-known phenomina of "phosphorescence." Perhaps "squantphorescence" would be a more appropriate term for this sort of visual contamination.
I think, above and beyond all other success stories on the Internet, one stands out above all others. Highly innovative, technically superior, ingeneous, furry, and misspelled.

Didn't you learn anything when you saw what Ash did in Army of Darkness? Yes! He kept a spare physics book in his trunk of his car.
He also had a shotgun and chainsaw. Clearly, these are important tools for any post-apocolyptic event or survival in medieval times. Would these devices, too, be wiped out by a giant catastrophy? Unlikely at best. There is hope for humanity after all!
But you might ask yourself: "What can I do to help prevent the mass-extinction of all scientific knowledge on the planet?"
The solution is easier than you think: go out this very moment and buy a spare physics book and put it in your car! The key is to be proactive! I suggest schools install physics books in special recepticals with labels that say "Break glass in the event of comprehensive technological erasure." Remember, educating society starts with the education of the minds of the young.
Thank you, and we now return you to your previous ill-concieved brain spew.
What this game really needs is reverse mouse functionality. I remember learning Quake with reverse mouse (which was natural) and then playing Marathon on the Mac in normal mouse mode. Took me weeks to get used to it. And then I switched back to another game which required reverse mouse.... ugh...
ahh, all those memories, they seem so long ago, but every memory I have occurred in 1995.
According to the World Health Organization, over 95% of all HIV/AIDS cases and death occur in the developing world. (see the WHO website). Over 2.2 million deaths were reported in 1998 due to AIDS.
Most people are not aware that AIDS receives more money for pharmacutical research per death than any other disease likely to affect a person living in the US, including cancer, heart disease, and other diseases that cause more death in the US. This is unfortunate considering Malaria used to cause more damage on a worldwide basis (and probably continues to do so) than has AIDS (however, the AIDS epidemic is quickly growing). You might ask why pharmacutical companies didn't spend more money earlier on Malaria.
Malaria doesn't really affect people in the United States. But I wonder why more money isn't spent on cancer, heart disease, etc, especially considering that it is rather simple to stop the spread of HIV by not f%@#ing around with other people.
Obviously, drug companies invest money in hopes of making a profit.
Malaria kills at on average one child every thirty seconds, and according to the World Health Organization, Malaria kills about 2.5 million people annually. Malaria used to be by far the leading cause of infectious disease deaths, but AIDS is a fierce competitor at this time.

Isn't it cheaper to perform radiation testing in an artifical space environment than to blast chips into space in hope that they will survive? You can have a lot more control over radiation dosage in a manmade system so you can see what fails at what dosage if you use terrestrial experiments.
I thought radiation levels in space were already well understood.

Actually, what's really pulling it in could have something to do with the ill-understood and ill-researched "Slashdot Effect"...
Could it affect spacecraft as well?

Ugh.
I have a much better idea. Why not publish such material on Freenet??
Err, sorry about the subject line, it should be
"Radiation testing on Earth vs. in orbit"
Isn't it cheaper to perform radiation testing in an artifical space environment than to blast chips into space in hope that they will survive? You can have a lot more control over radiation dosage in a manmade system so you can see what fails at what dosage if you use terrestrial experiments.
