I thought I could put no reply number on my SMS messages on my Sprint Nokia 3588i...
BTW, I think my number can somehow be accessed via e-mail, and I got a traditional e-mail spam... on a bottom-of-the-line voice+text+games (no wireless web, if you want that, go to this petition) phone.
It will attempt to attack any Bluetooth device. The level of success depends on whether it is a Series 60 device or not, and whether the user accepts it. It's kinda like an Outlook worm that requires user intervention. You have to have Windows and Outlook, and you have to enable it, but you may still get a copy of the virus even if your Linux box isn't susceptible.
I would actually call this a trojan (it calls itself Caribe, which sounds like some program related to the Carribian (sp?)) with a payload of a mass-bluejacking worm.
I couldn't get Debian set up as a desktop on my old P233MMX. I got it running great as a web server, but X and LILO both decided to go nuts when I tried to set it up the other way. LILO didn't like my dual HDD config (I had installed an 8.4GB HDD, and put my home directory on the old 4.3GB, but when it was a web server, I just had the 4.3GB), and X wouldn't cooperate for multiple reasons (primarily my graphics card, I think - the old version of XFree didn't like the idea of a nVidia)
It's small, uses AAs, gets long life, has a PCMCIA slot, has a 8MHz 80186, can run Minix (although it's a dirty hack that's fairly unstable), AFAIK it has instant on, it has a few megs of flash (that's the bad part), a 640x200 mono CGA screen, and is dirt cheap. It runs DOS natively, so you can run some stuff.
1. OK, that's easy. 2. Look at some Sharp Zaurus PDAs. 3. OK, that's not too hard. 4. That was two pounds WITHOUT the ten batteries, right? 5. How many packs of batteries did you want, again? 6. Ethernet? Easy. USB? Easy. Parallel? WTF? Modem? WinModem, or real modem? 7. The 8088 can't handle what you want, and it's the 80188 that you're thinking of in this situation. The i80386EX is the LEAST processor you could use, and you could really use an ARM or something. 8. Follow my advice in 7, and ditch the modem, and you can have that. 9. Instant on? Sleep/resume, you mean? Otherwise, you will have at least a few seconds boot time. 10. 20+ GB HDD? You're pushing your power envelope... 11. Color screen? At least that one's pretty easy... 12. WHAT?!?!? A PDA with less than a QUARTER of that can cost as much as a new bottom of the line desktop!
No, no, I got flamebait for the Windows knock. I should have been more clear - Windows 98 sucks, and HP bottom-of-the-line consumer grade hardware sucks.
SuSE 9.1? Tell me, how has SuSE improved since 8.2 when it comes to HW support? I remember 8.2 out-of-the-box was a BITCH to get working on SuSE.
And Fedora Core 2? The one that kills Windows? No thanks.
Why generic display drivers? It's an S3 UniChrome - AFAIK, it's usually well supported under Linux. The WiFi is Broadcom, could be better, but it can work.
The flash drive? Probably a 2.6 problem, but I've never had a problem with it on the experimental Mandrake 10 Community box at my school (except it didn't automount), and I KNOW it's running 2.6, because I made sure of it.
Maybe you should take a look at this, which is the 3225HS running Mandrake 9.2. The only difference is that it has 512MB RAM instead of 256.
The modem's going to be the hard part, but I don't expect ANYONE to get that working easily.
I'm considering the 3220H1, but I'm not going to run SuSE or FC2, that's for sure.
In my experience, Seagate's not been quieter (well, it's quieter than my old Bigfoot CY...) I've NEVER seen a Seagate fail, though, out of about 20 I've worked with. I've seen one Maxtor barf once, and the FAT was destroyed on the drive. The other five I've seen are fine. Western Digital is SHIT. I've seen (probably) five of them, and four have died. Hitachi/IBM? Seven of them, one was a 60GXP (shall I say more?), and the other fried the registry on Win2K when it was handled normally. As for Samsung, I've had decent luck with them - lots of damaged sectors on mine, though, but it ran Windows 98, and it was an HP preload (hey, this was before I knew Windows was crap, and same for HP).
Joe Consumer sees all these fancy buzzwords and stuff on the latest Alienware, ABS, and Falcon NW boxes, and buys one of those manufacturers' top of the line, $4000 box. Joe Consumer's probably running a 3 or 4-disk RAID 0 in that box, and all he knows is he's got a 1TB hard drive, and somehow it's made with four 250GB hard drives.
It only applies to bulk hard drives in media processing devices (TiVos, DVD recorders, MP3 jukeboxes (set-top or portable), etc.), and it goes (basically) to the French **AA.
Native SATA? That must mean that it's not one of those ATA/133 drives with a chip to allow it to look like a SATA device. In other words, (if the platters spin fast enough - they don't spin NEARLY fast enough) it can do 150Mb/s, instead of 133Mb/s like drives that do use such a chip.
I CAN buy a new Alienware (or build my own system) with an FX-53, and throw FreeDOS on it. I may have to install my old SB card, and maybe even an older graphics card, but it will work.
That article shows that the G5 is currently made on a 90nm process. Apple's marketing name for the IBM PPC 970/970FX is G5. IBM can't use G5 - they have to use PPC 970FX. If Apple says the G5 is 90nm, it's the G5 used in an Apple computer.

Let's see, do you mean Phoenix? 'Cause here's the versions:
Phoenix 0.1
Phoenix 0.2
Phoenix 0.3
Phoenix 0.4
Phoenix 0.5
Phoenix 0.6
Firebird 0.7
Firefox 0.8
Firefox 0.9
Firebird was actually the SHORTEST lived name for the Mozilla standalone browser formerly known as Phoenix.
What, like W32.Winux (AKA ELF.Winux)?
It's a dual payload virus that infects Win32 executables and Linux ELF executables.
I would actually call this a trojan (it calls itself Caribe, which sounds like some program related to the Carribian (sp?)) with a payload of a mass-bluejacking worm.

You can't just have a shared wifi net that isn't connected to the Internet, and tell people, "Sure, I'll send e-mail for you"?
That's illegal?
Not when it isn't trying to get personal info.
However, I think it's a Bad Idea(TM).
What, kinda like New.Net, just not hijacking the local browser?
.local. Like this (assuming your domain is wifinet and your server is bbs):
Bad idea, in my opinion. The TLD you should use, BTW, is
http://bbs.wifinet.local/

3D? I was under the impression that the ATI Imageon was only 2D. Also, even if it does 3D, I'm sure an i855GM could smoke it pretty badly.
No, no, I got flamebait for the Windows knock. I should have been more clear - Windows 98 sucks, and HP bottom-of-the-line consumer grade hardware sucks.
It means that this hard drive only gets a 200E tax if it's sold in bulk to a manufacturer of a digital media device.
SuSE 9.1? Tell me, how has SuSE improved since 8.2 when it comes to HW support? I remember 8.2 out-of-the-box was a BITCH to get working on SuSE.

No, because that doesn't include the French equivalent of the MPAA.
OK, I'll slip in "equivalent of the".
I know **AA means ** Association of America, that's why I put French in the first place.
No, it's SP3 vs. SP3=.
