    don't worry, when you grow up and your time is worth something, it'll be cheaper to just buy the software than go through all this effort.

    if they do this, their popularity might make them quickly become the number 1 webmail service.

    then, if they implement a good spam filter, including the ability to cross-reference all their users reported spam or similar titled emails, then they could effectively eliminate non-POP spam.

    of course their popularity will make them a huge target of spammers' attention, but I have more faith in Google's abilities than I do in the spammers'.

    also, if you're using the definition of "Personal" of "annoying to others" e.g. Personal Stereo, Personalised Ringtones... then the bigger it is, the more Personal it is, and hence the more PDA it is.

  10. RTFA on NEC Develops Linux Tablet/PDA Hybrid · · Score: 4, Informative

    The operating system used is Linux. NEC has explained that "We were originally looking at TRON, but due to some problems with using the CD-ROM, we went with Linux." And about using Windows, "Apart from the cost being high, we wanted the ability to save the state of the device to memory immediately before powering off - and be able to resume work in that same position when the device is power on again. But since operating the device in this fashion made freezes very likely, we let Windows go."

    >upcoming sequels (Doom 3, Halo 2, Half-Life 2, GTA: San Andreas) will be successful only because their predecessors were

    the fact that the originals were successful suggests the designers did something right. so what does it mean that they will *ONLY* be successful because their predecessors were?

    in other news: "$team won the $league, but only because they beat all their opponents"

    the only thing they might mean is that the games suck but they will still succeed on hype, but how the f*ck can they say that when they aren't even anywhere near release date yet?

    there's a response to this kind of argument (as seen on The West Wing):

    -if your son/daughter were murdered, wouldn't you want the death penalty for the accused?
    -yes, and that's why I don't think that victims' parents should be on the jury
