  1. Re:Original idea on Six Monkeys And An Old Saw · · Score: 1

    If the universe is infinite, and there are not x number of monkeys typing [insert literature or other text string here] on Earth, and there are no laws of the universe that prohibit such a gathering of monkeys, then right now, somewhere in the universe, monkeys are typing [insert literature or other text string here]

    I bet a dollar that monkeys somewhere in the universe typed my post before I did.

    Who did your taxes? Hire and accountant - it's cheaper than jailtime ;)
    Maybe with the faster access speeds you could run a spell checker before posting. Should be 'Hire an accountant'. I guess we all make typos. I'm about to proof read this post now.

    Damn. Thats what I get for not proof reading it.

  4. Price? on Getting Rid of the Disks · · Score: 5, Funny
    From the point of view of serious corporate customers, $US100,000 can be a great big bargain.
    I think I'll keep my magnetic drives and spend my $999,900 on something else.
  5. Re:Memorysticks aren't RAM. on Palm Memory Maximum Increased · · Score: 1

    I used to have a visor dlx (which ran palm os). I got an adapter for it to use compact flash which had advantages and disadvantages. It was slow to read from, and even slower to write to (The bottleneck was the handheld). It also required me to get a third party launcher to run programs off of it. However, I could store any file type on it, and I even had software to read jpegs and wavs. It also let me backup my internal ram (8mb) to the compact flash card in case it got erased. I think that having more ram on palm os devices it great, but don't take away flash memory options. They have their important uses too.

    How long would the burst last? If it was short enough, would a little less than half of the planet be shielded by the other half from the effects? Note" Build this for self http://www.theonion.com/onion3123/hawkingexo.html
