i got one of their 1u servers at their firesale, and am happy that it says linux on it. heh, it's alot more useful than buying the stock at the peak. now only if i had some va research stuff too...
maybe someone can setup a web site about former linux companies and their tee shirts.
my father-in-law created a db for his small business using the old heathkit z-80. although he has a pentium III, he has found an emulator so he can continue to use his original db. i think it ran cpm too... we have interesting family get togethers.
sigh. i remember running cpm because i needed to use a decent wordprocessor (Wordstar)for college. i picked up a cpm card from an obscure computer company in belluvue, wa (microsoft). it ran on my apple II. talk about convergence.
ouch. the article mentions breaking both the mother board and the cpu while installing this unit. that, plus the expense of the cooler itself makes it a very expensive overclocking job.
looks like they have a cool video recorder to do mpeg4 stuff. and it comes in silver and black! Sharp seems to have a bunch of accessories that ties into the zaurus too. perhaps a "hello kitty" version isn't too far away.
btw, the developers forum mentions you can attach a microphone/headphone... like a cell phone attachment. a pda/dictaphone device would be nice for me, and i can show movies of my 2 year old too!
apple has used names of existing products before. i think they had licensing problems iwth the beatles recording company apple, and they had to deal with the stereo company McIntosh in regards to the mac. i don't think an artificial leg would scare them off.
someone could hack the old thrustmaster joystick and throttle to the ibm keyboard. that would really anchor you down and keep you from leaning when playing games.
the other difference, as pointed out in "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" is that the open source people have the added benifit of thousands of people working on the same problem, making bugs easier to stamp out. the corporate world will (gasp) cooperate with each other for the common good.
i recently moved here, and there is a law that for a few bucks, telemarketers can't call you at home. what a relief. now, my son and i can watch dbz uninterupted.
here's a question that hasn't been asked. i wonder if there is a difference in terms of streaming mp3's or ogg over a home lan. is one better than another? would streaming wav files be better if you got the 199G hard drive? should we all start to wire cat5e and go gigabit, or fiber? i figure i would be nice to listen music in the kitchen on the hacked 3com audrey, from the cerfcube music server.
transmetazone had this article out way back in january. http://www.transmetazone.com/articleview.cfm?artic leID=543
cheap web pads are becoming one of the many casualties of the dot com bust. i remember when companies were claiming availabilites in 1999, with sub- $500 prices. The only two web pads (honeywell, and progear) have prices at $1600~$3000. I just can't get myself to buy one at that price range yet, even for my business.
how attractive would a free wireless access be in a small downtown to techies? i live in a small city on the oregon coast, and economically, it is pretty much rock bottom. timber is on its way out, and many people have to look elsewere for work (big cities like portland and seattle). now i realize there needs to be other forms of economic enticement, but would freewireless access in a (empty) downtown area help attract people from crowded cities? you can bring your laptop and pda to the local cafe, and work while enjoying the ocean breeze.
i realize it's a crazy idea, but i would like to take my pda out where ever i am, and be able to stay connected.
exactly. i'm waiting for ogg to become finalized before purchasing these units. i'd like something like this on long road trips, so that i won't be stuck listening to country music (not that there's anything wrong with country music)
not too many stations playing the oldies like dead kennedys and X.
we could also "key" the airplane to the pilots. of course, if the pilots are incapacitated, there would have to be a system to bring down the plane safely.
i started out with red hat 4.2, but have been using suse since then. Yast has been very nice to me for the most part. it's a nice distribution to start linux with.
btw, my two year old son loves "Geeko" (yes, i bought him the stuffed animal. it will be nice to know that he will be raised on OS's other than the redmond variety.
perhaps Nintendo can take this trend and start creating cell phones out of Game Boys. Or Sony could muscle into the handheld gaming by creating ps compatible cell phones.

i remember my z-80 card was from microsoft....
it's kinda sad... i'm noticing more gray on my head too.

ya don't need a laptop to do this, just get yourself a Sharp Zaurus, and plug your wireless 802.11b in, and run airsnort.

i wonder if anyone remembers the "pink ladies" from the early eighties. now that was a disaster...
maybe Shonen Knife could have a sitcom next.

i'll stick to my alpha's

the folks at redmond must be working overtime to top that.
i think apple has been getting more press than sony on slashdot...

i got a va linux box... real cheap.
you can pick up some bargains thanks to the current recession.
kinda sad, actually...

just want to avoid those cables. i'm too poor to buy those fancy round cables, but for those of us with disposable incomes, it may be important.

yeah, my mother-in-law likes to play freecell on her computer at 640X480 on the 17 inch monitor that i bought her

i wonder what other toys led to the decline of western civilization? super soakers, hot wheels, and the Evel Knievel windup motorcycle?

on another note, Zork for cell phones anyone???
