At my dad's office we have a computer powered by a Parhelia hooked up to two UltraSharp 2001FPs (both through DVI...haven't tried it with analog cause whats the point) and I have never seen anything like this. They're just as good as a CRT (for CAD anyway) and the screens are gorgeous. My guess is USAR ERRAR
Take a look at the Toshiba VM4050 from Sprint. It has a fucking gorgeous screen, and it's a 2.2" QVGA. I would love to have a VGA screen in this size...it would look amazing. Why not? It's cool, thats the main reason for this!
This isn't an old iMac. Apple designed this one so that your grandmother could open it and replace its parts. This didn't void the warranty. It has quite an interesting inside. I like how they focused on the inside design as well (i.e. G5 heatsink that no one will ever see but still looks cool) as the outside.
I have seen a lot of the in-car CD based mp3 players for around $150 at Fry's, but I have never seen one that supports ogg. I know there is the music keg, but I'm looking for something cheap. Is there anything like that on the market yet?
It sure would be cool if one of these could play from DVD-R media as well.
Just buy a 10GB music keg off of eBay for around $160. 10GBs of Ogg...sure it's not a lot, but it gives you the Vorbis support you want and doesn't break the bank (some of those are factory refurbs, but apparently the hard drives are replaced with new ones when they go back).
This is also a cheaper alternative to *eyeroll* building your own like some will suggest.
How feasible is online gaming on one of these cards? My university's network sucks for connecting to mmorpg servers. I'd love to combine one of these cards with one of these: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?desc ription=15-104-222&depa=1
If I can get a decent ping with these cards I can start playing Final Fantasy XI again.
The latency on these things is atrocious. No online gaming for a while. Maybe wait for Nextel's Flarion implementation.
How is this anything special?
Sprint has a variety of aircards operating on their 1xRTT network at up to 144Kbps. Verizon has an aircard for their 1xEVDO BroadbandAccess network with download speeds of up to 2MBps (also 1xRTT compatible) and another aircard for their 1xRTT NationalAccess network. AT&T Wireless also has an EDGE aircard at up to 384Kbps (they may have a WCDMA one too...not sure) and all of our GSM carriers have GPRS cards. Anyway any carrier with GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/1xRTT/EV-DO or any other wireless data network offers aircards (American or not) and you can pick up unlocked ones up on eBay at decent prices. So why is this front page news?
At $199 I would buy this phone in a second. With the current Blackberries being $349+ and being kind of awkward to dial out/talk on, this is exactly what I want. And Bluetooth is an added bonus.
Are you concerned at all that Apple might sue Real under the DMCA for basically hacking the iPod to allow compatibility between Real and the iPod? If Apple does do this, what measures are you taking to make sure that the files people buy from Rhapsody will continue to play on their iPod after Apple locks Harmony out using a firmware update or something similar, and would you offer refunds to people with iPods who purchased music on Rhapsody?
One thing he could do is convert the FileMaker 6 database to FileMaker 7, and then use FileMaker 7/Server's web server function. It replicates the database in the form of a web page exactly (or nearly) how you see it in the FileMaker program. Its quite easy to use. I haven't used it with FileMaker Server but it was really easy to set up in FMPro6.
Last year I tried to go the way of MySQL/PHP...for me coding it was more trouble than it was worth.
Yeah, this thing has everything. Except it's really ugly.
Once again, the competition needs to realize Apple's success is not due to its technical dominance but rather its popular dominance. The iPod (mini) is a part of mainstream pop culture. This new device does not look to replace the mini anytime soon.
Exactly what I was going to say. The iPod is now a status symbol. There may be more functional MP3 players (iRiver...debatable) and cheaper MP3 players, but the masses don't want the better player, they want the iPod. Besides, no one has really gotten user friendlyness down except Apple (the click wheel is perfect and the UI is amazing...my dad could figure it out after about 10 seconds and I once got a call from him asking how to open Word..).
Unf.
When I went off to college in August of 2002, my roommate and I both got cell phones. I currently pay $40 a month for 750 anytime, 8pm N/W and free mobile to mobile with Sprint PCS. Then I have cable which has been pretty reliable. I got Vonage 6 months ago but I need to cancel it because between the two of us my roommate and I used 9 minutes out of 500 last month. So landline free has worked great for both of us. We've never run into a problem where we needed a landline. (although last time we moved I did go through withdrawal for the 2 days it took the Time Warner guy to show up)
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this. At 20GBs for $300 or 40GBs for $400 (and soon [we hope] 60GBs for $500) the iPod isn't that cheap, but it works with Linux, Windows, or Mac. And with USB 2.0 or Firewire it transfers pretty quickly. And its so stylish!
Of course you could also look at some of the cheaper alternatives such as the Dell Digital Jukebox or iRiver.
I'd imagine that much like pay as you go cell phone service, pay as you go car insurance will only be economical to very few individuals...maybe someone in a very large city who only drivers their car a few times a month.
Can you imagine all the different things they would see you do that could cause them to increase the rates? Driving more than 500 miles a month, driving after 10pm, driving home from a bar, speeding any amount, rolling stop signs, driving in the rain or other poor weather, driving in heavy traffic....insurance companies are already a little crazy about the rates, and unless there was some maximum monthly cap I could see this being bad for a lot of people. Not to mention its just plain creepy.
A computer such as a network appliance executes an administrative security process configured to run under an administrative privilege level. Having an administrative privilege level, the administrative security process can initiate administrative functions in an operating system function library. A user process executing under a non-administrative privilege level can initiate a particular administrative function that the process would not otherwise be able to initiate by requesting that the administrative security process initiate the function. In response to a request to initiate a particular function from a process with a non-administrative privilege level, the administrative security process determines whether the requesting process is authorized to initiate the particular administrative function based on information accessed in a data store. If the requesting process is authorized, the administrative security process initiates the particular administrative function. In this manner, the administrative security process facilitates access to specific administrative functions for a user process having a privilege level that does not permit the user process to access the administrative functions.
So of course this is completely unenforcable...I wonder if they'll even try. What is the process to go about for getting this patent revoked?
How long is that for? Most of the cheap/month rates I've seen are for the first 3-6 months, then the rate goes up to around 40-50/month. That is why I stuck with my current ISP at $50/month (that and great customer service, a rarity).
its for the full year, and i'm pretty sure it continues at that price once the contract is up.

point of sale systems, ATMs, maybe high end auto pc stuff?
I was finally able to send money about 30 minutes ago, but now I have several people sending me money orders I do not want. Bah! I hate Paypal.
Well for one thing, not having to pay $2400 to set up the equipment....
by switching to metric dollars...right?
Yet another thing to lower my dwindling sperm count! Awesome!
