Convenience depends on what you're doing. As a previous poster pointed out, yes, you can read them while sitting on the toilet if you're using a PDA (though I wouldn't trust myself with it in the tub).
As a very frequent international traveler, to me nothing sucks more than running out of reading material in a non-English speaking country. With ebooks, I always have a good supply loaded onto my laptop & PDA, ready to go.
It's still not quite as satisfying as holding a book, but it's pretty close
I agree they are great until you find yourself at a machine that won't accept it (e.g., web kiosk).
Personally, I use 5 passwds, 8 chars long, alpha + numeric + non-alphanumeric. The more sensitive the information being protected, the less frequently a particular passwd gets used.

I suspect that 3G (not vulnerable) will be widely deployed before the price drops enough for that the average script kiddie can buy one at La Shaque de Radio
ummm... basic wired telephone service here in California runs close to $30/mo once you add in all the extra fees & crap, so why would broadband cost less than POTS?
I read the article. Not once, but three times before posting. My initial comment still stands. The article does little/nothing to explain how Mandrake is different or why it is better.
I'm really happy you run an IT department with 250 systems. I've run an IT department with 250 people. What's your point?
...too bad it's a Windows-only product at the moment and only supports pop3 & Exchange mailboxes. I use it at work and it saves me from having to file e-mail hierarchically. I have two folders, Inbox & Read. IF I need to find something, a quick Scopeware Vision query does the trick.
Other than the fact that is has a neato-keeno wizard to do some configuration chores, the article does little to explain how Mandrake is different or why it is a better choice.
If the audience to which you refer is/. posters, why on earth would you want to film yourself masturbating, since that is about the only sex most/.'ers have.
iMovie doesn't need a manual, pure and simple. If you want to extract digital video and put together clips, it's very intuitive (heck, even my computer-phobic wife figured it out).
If you want to figure out how to do neat and nifty things with iMovie, buy the Missing Manual book, but you certainly don't need it to use the software.

You mean the attacks are over? The 67000 icmp probes I received yesterday are legitimate tests?
I don't know where you got the idea that people can't afford electronics there, but it's a pretty dated notion. At least 10 years out of date, I'd say.
The average annual salary in our high-tech company (about 75% engineers.. offices in Beijing & Shenzhen) is less than RMB100k (about US$12k), but yes, everybody seems to have cell phones...

You must have a really slow internet connection.

That I know of. :)

Ask you parents who Jimmy Carter was before he did Habitat for Humanity,
An anti-MS agenda?
On the whole, I've found while there's an anti-MS bias, pro-MS comments, etc... that are intelligently written will usually get modded up, not down.
Me? I'm OS-agnostic. Whatever tool feels right for the job.
Depending on the model, they are either a great phone or a great PDA, but never (IMHO) both.
I liked Sex, Drugs, UNIX better.

...without either e-mail from RedHat about a bug or news from MS about one. Lucky me, today I have both.
At least they point out that the equipment required costs about $250k.

IMHO, Win2k is the best OS that Microsoft has ever made.
not that that is saying much ;)

I would agree if this were a judgement against them. This is only a complaint. That's cowardly in my book.
