Um, the governor only had part of it. Im not sure where i read it, probably nyt, but someone recorded a convo from congress where they planned how to strech it(power issue) out.
NYC has not had good power since then. Everyone ive heard from about it that lives there said since then, brownouts, and full blackouts are far more frequent. I do not live there, so i cant say for sure.
How long until file traders are considered "terrorists" trying to destroy the "American"(corporate) way of life.
Has anyone realized that the navy commercials now end with "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of those who threaten it"? What the hell is that?
As the government and corporations fuse, they are solidifying of new aristocracy. This means that our individual voices get drowned out. Where in the constitution does it say they get representation? Last time I checked, the government was of the people, by the people, and for the people.
I know it will never happen, but I think the only way to save our government, is to ban lobbying (legalized bribery). How can we compete w/ business giving out hundreds of thousands of dollars in 'incentive'?
I think I need to start my own country (think of the exodus from Battletech). No RIAA, no DMCA, no waste of our lives to get better profits on oil.
I think I will have to look into the pens, little worried about the size and ability to get lost/stolen, but for the price, I could get it in addition to a good laptop, and still come ahead of the tablet.
Or, better yet, if there are ways to use it w/ a palm, that would be good, having instant, mobile access to my data.
When i was in a real school, i used to use a combo of notes(paper& pen) and typed. I only used the notes for things i couldnt do in vi, like pics, etc. And since it was a lot of code, it just made sense.
The big reason the computer helped is that i could search through them insted of skimming my aweful handwriting.
I think the tablet would come in useful as you could do those drawings where needed, type where needed, etc. I know there is no handwriting recognition software on earth that could decipher my chicken scratch, but it would have negated my need to waste paper.
I do agree that most people will just use them to play games, and have had profs make people turn off the monitors while class was going on because the clacking was annoying, and people wernt paying attention(which drags everyone down). Maybe in class there could be wireless that isnt open to the outside world, so im and browsing could be cut off at the will of the instructor. But that gets into other issues.
Just a thought. Might try the tablet when i go back for more degrees.

I wonder if the tablets would be any better.

Im going to have to agree, it seems to have EVERY app i have needed, and as worked on every x86 system i have tried spanning pentium 200 to p4.
This is more usefull than the handy w/95 boot disk.
