Well, Innovation has already made a GBA PDA. Granted, no sync capability whatsoever. However, Nintendo's had clock capability for every model of GB - the GB through GBC had the MMC3, which was a cart memory controller with RTC, the GBA had something (considering that there were MMC3-based pokeman games, and there were pockeman games for the GBA...), and now the DS has an internal RTC.
FWIW, I have heard something (I forget where) saying that the GBA cart port could be used for hardware addons, not just GBA games.
Well, there's spyware, full-disclosure spyware, and adware.
Spyware may not even show that it's doing anything, or it'll mask as something else *cough*those "Your computer may be infected with SPYWARE!" things*cough*. Full-disclosure spyware will TELL YOU that it will get data that may even be personal data, and make it VERY clear (not like Claria, which, IIRC, put those things at the END of the EULA) - think like Google Toolbar, except with personal data. Adware is something that displays ads while you are using it (some adware is also spyware).
Opera is adware, except when it is in Google Ad mode, in which case it's actually borderline full-disclosure spyware (it doesn't send personal information, though, just URLs, and even then, only Google gets the URLs, and provides related ads based on what text it gets from the page). Even then, I'll still use it, as it's lighter weight than Firefox or IE EVEN WITH THE GOOGLE AD COMPONENT, and has more features.
I, myself, when playing a PS2 racing game, have to find an old PS1 controller (fully compatible, FWIW - and the PS1 controllers have digital buttons, so I don't get blisters when flooring it).
The site that the/. article linked to is the guy's new site. What you're linking to is his old site that still covers the news, but more and more is moving to the new site.
I use IE for Windows Update (although I have automatic updates on, anyway), and when I HAVE to visit a site that Opera can't handle (I've always hated Firefox - I might install it, though, as there's stuff that it can handle that Opera can't, and it's a WHOLE lot safer than IE).
Very good point. Opera might be able to patent "using a tabbed interface to Multiple Document Interface", FWIW. Crazy Browser would be able to patent "using a tabbed interface to manage multiple web browser pages".
Or a Pentium M... Those can run fanless, on this board (a sufficiently large P4 heatsink can do it w/o a fan), and on DFI's board (don't OC, but a northbridge heatsink can do it on the slower ones). At 600MHz, it can even run HEATSINK-LESS.
RTFA. He said he COULDN'T use the pcHDTV card. It does have an S-Video input, but can it take HDTV through that? Here's what the site says about HDTV input:
One RF TV antenna coaxal reception port
Also, the FAQ (which isn't quite up to date) mentions that it will ONLY work for terrestrial broadcasts, and that it's ONLY antenna.
Well, yes. You do need a voice plan. However, I use my phone LIKE A PHONE, TOO (actually, my current phone isn't a Vision phone, so I play Nokia Bowling and use it as a phone).

Note, however, that the MDI implementation in Office up to 97 was the standard Windows MDI implementation. While it made sense in Windows 3.x, it DIDN'T make sense in 9x. Look at how a standard MDI app in Windows works - minimized children are placed at the bottom of the parent window, in small boxes consisting of the titlebar (shrunken). Not consistent with the Windows 9x way of putting minimized (and open) windows in the taskbar. Opera, however, is a PERFECT implementation of MDI. It behaves like one would expect it to from the behavior of Windows.
Nah, I've seen it on the Windows version, too. I heard some explanation that it is tied into your computer's speed - the faster, the more likely the timing bug(!) will show up, and the more likely Slash will fsck up.
Well, I'm on Sprint, and have the $5/mo unlimited (up to 50% of your total used minutes (including N&W and M2M)) roaming. I was just mentioning that Verizon could roam onto Sprint. Vice-versa also works;-)
Also, a little rant about AT&T roaming... AT&T told us that their nationwide plan came with free roaming, and told us to refer to the local coverage maps (the national coverage map was down). Well, we decide to check the bill for shits and giggles, and find a crapload of roaming charges - something that was supposed to be free. We dropped that thing faster than a hot shit potato, and switched to Sprint. Couldn't be happier (although we're now switching to a lower plan that doesn't have Vision attached to it).
FWIW, you CAN roam without that package, you just don't want to, or you'll get raped. As for ring tones and games, you can find those elsewhere.
As for the use limits - they DO exist, and Sprint supposedly has them set at 30MB. This is the point at which they ask you whether you're using a data cable, and if you answer yes, they will disable your Vision service. However, people testing them got up to 1GB before they were asked anything.
The worst part: my phone had been stolen, and some friends were offering up their Verizon phones (and had friends in the back rooms at V stores who could unlock them). However, it seems that Sprint won't put any ESNs in their database, making that pointless.
Slashdot Mirror
That's news to me, as there's an ISO Recorder XP PowerToy...
No, that's because of robots.txt. It only lets Google's ad bot through, and nothing else (such as the W3C validator).
What did you post as AC, and did you ever e-mail CowboyNeal (IIRC, that's who you e-mail to plead for permission to post again)?

Give some proof. I've never heard of this.
I've posted anon while logged in, and never SEEN such a thing.
That's fairly common knowledge now...
I, myself, when playing a PS2 racing game, have to find an old PS1 controller (fully compatible, FWIW - and the PS1 controllers have digital buttons, so I don't get blisters when flooring it).
The PSP isn't going to be compatible.
However, the "portable" PStwo is identical in function to a PS2 with broadband adaptor.
It was also used in this PS2p.
Keep in mind, that's probably the CLASSIC PS2, not the newer PStwo, which this guy used.

;-)
It's for sale. Just make an offer, and he'll consider it. I'm not going to bother, as he spends a good bit of money on his portables
IIRC, the PSp was about $500 in build costs (from his site), and this used more expensive stuff.
No, no, no! He's running it off of a 9V 5400mAH (IIRC) LiIon battery. It's not AAs.

Half that, as this puts out the same number of lumens as a 100w bulb, not a 200w bulb.
You mean xenons, right? Halogens are the normal yellowish headlights, xenons are the bluish-white ones that blind you.

Set up your own Yum repository with tested packages, and auto-update from that? Seems like the ridiculously simple solution...
Well, you could do what some people have suggested (I don't - it'll fuck up the tides) - blow the moon away... Then, no solar eclipses to worry about.
