Just because a CPU runs at 1.1GHz (it was 1.1), doesn't mean it can't kick Pentium 4 ass. After all, you can take the clock speed of a Pentium M, add a gigahertz to it, and say that it's roughly equivalent to that of a P4 at that speed you just came up with. After all, the Pentium M goes up to 1.7GHz, and I've seen benchmarks showing a 1.4GHz Pentium M MURDERING a Pentium 4 @ 2.8GHz (if you count in that the Pentium M was a laptop and the Pentium 4 was a desktop!)
BTW, if you're interested in the model, it's a Chem USA ChemBook 2300. And, yes, it's available in the 1.7GHz variety, which will KICK ASS BIG TIME (it'll also kick your pocketbook, but it's 1.7GHz, and it's a Pentium M!).
So, call up Radisys and have them send you a LS855 with the Pentium M onboard! That's what I'm looking into (just waiting on quotes for 1 unit of either their CPU-less model or one with a 1.3GHz Pentium M).
Flash media, and not MRAM, thank you very much. As for fans, well, just look at some Mini-ITX boxes. And ask for something that can take a 1GHz ULV Pentium M, which outputs ~7W, and is as powerful as a 2GHz Pentium 4, which outputs ~60W. About your OLED screen, why not the billboard-grade eInk that can pull 70FPS (for your Intel Extreme Graphics 2 that can only pull 50 on a good day)?
It's been stated time... after... time... That's why it's been modded redundant. Basically, if you say something at the beginning that hasn't been said in that story, you're OK, unless it's a joke, in which case you've gotta make sure you're not beating a dead horse.
SuSE (best fscking distro around (even over FTP on 512/128 ADSL), even though it'll be more than $60 if you buy Professional or x86_64 - sorry for starting distro-wars)? FSF (I REALLY DON'T CARE about the FSF (they made the GPL, but they're a bit fanatical, don't you think?), but if that's your cup of tea, go for it...)? EFF (go for it... I might even go for that)?
I used RedHat 8 for an experiment, and while people liked it over WinME (didn't have an XP CD to play with for this experiment), I found it rather XP-like in feel (not look, but feel).
RAM is probably the cheapest way to speed up your box there is (shows you how much modern OSes use swap...), and it's worth it to upgrade if you can buy crucial (and no, I don't work for them, I just like their product). However, I do agree with you that it can be cost-prohibitive to install Fedora on many boxes. BTW, my Celery mobo (Celery because it's FSB goes up to 75 (unsupported, of course)) doesn't officially support over 256MB (it's maxed out, it's a Trigem Cognac+, yes, reflashing with HP's latest update WILL allow you to go to 512MB, and no, Crucial won't list 256MB modules for the Cognac based systems on their pages).
Play with torrents and look at your router config (punch a hole for 6881 through, maybe?). I had BT problems with it downloading at ~1KB/s (not Fedora - I won't touch the smelly piece of crap formerly known as RedHat), and I punched the hole through, and it sped right up to 50-60KB/s (512/128 ADSL is better than dial-up, but when you need sheer speed, it's hard to get).
Actually, it's rather dumb to burn it on a business card CD, as they cost several times more per disc. Anyway, SuSE uses this system for installation. I like it, except that you either have to download the whole tree or always be online to install. Someone else in this thread said that they like that *BSD does this. This is really a good way to do it... I wonder why more distros don't do it (of course, a Live-Eval ISO is also important - SuSE does those well)...
And then, the simulated/. will announce that a simulation of the simulation has been announced, and it will have a simulated/., which will announce that a simulation of the simulation of the simulation has been announced, and it will...
For a couple months, it'll be like nothing happened. Also, you might be able to pick up "NoSE Linux 10.0" or something (NoSE Linux - I HOPE they DON'T choose NoSE) at your local computer store, just like SuSE Linux 9.0 will be. Also, if RedHat's your flavor, RHL is still alive in Fedora.
A Bayesian filter will just take longer to miss the legit messages, hit the spam, and may have a slightly higher false positive rate and lower false negative rate, but over time will improve to the same as traditional e-mail bayesian filtering.
Ever heard of Pocket PC PHONE EDITION? T-Mobile had a Pocket PC PE phone, and Orange has a CE powered phone. Also, Audiovox has rolled their own phone software for Pocket PC 2002. Too late.
Last I checked, most PDAs could run either GB(P/C/A) emulators, or SNES emulators. If those can't play Pokeyman, Mario, Zelda, or Metroid, then no gameboy or snes could play them either.
BTW, the Cybiko had decent backing for what it was - Cybiko managed to get ClearChannel radio ads (I've heard a few - they were only late-night, though). BTW, what do you think Sega was when they released the Master System? The big game console/handheld (back then)/arcade (even more so) tycoon? AFAIK, no. That was Atari (on the console and in the arcades) and Nintendo (more so on handhelds, but somewhat on arcades).
AFAIK, I could buy a GP32 if I wanted one (in the US even! and not from LikSang!), and the Cybiko's appearance wasn't what killed it. The lack of quality software, the kludgy "sync" software, poor PDA integration (the software COULD at least sync it with Outlook), quality control issues (on the Cybiko Classic - the power connector was known to come off the board), the implied advertisements that were false (you could "always get online" (range was 150-300 feet), touchscreen (implied by the design of the device and the fact that it was packaged with a stylus - many a Cybiko screen was ruined by people trying to use the LCD as a touchscreen), the MP3 player (took me MONTHS to get that..., and it was a RAM hog (the Cybiko has 512K RAM and 512K flash - the MP3 player's smartmedia slot was welcome, but the MP3 player's drivers hogged RAM like crazy), only one PCMCIA slot (yes, it WAS PCMCIA - 33.6K PCMCIA modems worked - the OS gave errors consistent with the detection of a modem, but no support) and the prohibitive cost of accessories ($20 for a 1MB RAM/Flash upgrade!)) Other problems: the cost of using B2C apps (Basic compiler - codes were $5 until they went out, and put up a page that had a built-in code generator), kludgy storage (internal flash only held 2-3 games with all of my apps, but they didn't have enough RAM to run with the MP3 player installed, so I'd have to move games onto the MP3 player, move others onto the Cybiko, shut down, remove the MP3, restart, play, shut down, reinsert the MP3, and start back up.), etc., etc.

They suggested the 15GB Dell. They said it had 20-hr battery life and was cheaper, so that's a choice...
How about this:
Claria == Gator == Spyware!
BTW, linking just improves the pagerank of Claria and Gator.

Probably they got all the subnets of major ISPs, and then threw all IPs in those subnets in their list.
WTF? That's definitely the Lindows logo, but...
BTW, clickable link.

This is a full blown stable 1.0 release, it appears... not even a 9.1 release.

It's RH 10 beta, in a sense. (Actually, it's primarily RH 9.1 Beta code...)

But, they could drop a PDA with bluetooth, and have it constantly scanning and sending spam to all victims in the area.

Insightful, but thing is, is your toaster on by default?
Except "normal" spam exploits open relays in a way that was not designed. E-mail wasn't designed to be nearly untraceable. Spam is.
