I hate to sound like the eternal nuthugger, but I'm having so much fun with my N900. Just threw on the cifs-mounting stuff, and that combined (alternated, really) with sshfs means I can take my entire music collection wherever I go. 1.5TB, ripped to flac on a server in my basement, so why would I want to have to choose what albums I take with me to the gym or work or wherever? Just mount the thing and play. Plus, there's an FM transmitter built-in, so I can just plunk it down next to (~15 feet) a radio, and fire it up.
The "it's so slow" comments are kind of silly. This is obviously a POC, and a pretty nice one. Any phone that can run Asterisk, Apache, nmap and OSX is cool in my book.:)
Newegg's revenue for 2009 was estimated at just over 2 billion dollars... Target must be bigger than I thought.:-) The point stands, though. They're not even in the same league, company-wise.
Unlimited data, sorry. So, if you make a lot of distance calls, Skype's probably the way to go. To be honest, I don't even want a cellphone. This is more like a mobile computer. sshfs mount to my home network, so I can just stream tunes that way, and don't even have to figure out what to keep on the phone (which is your favourite child?). Probably not for everybody, but I'm digging it on day 3.
Picked up an N900. T-Mobile unlimited for 10 bucks a month. Could probably get away without it anyway, since there's so many open hotspots around in NY. I hate AT&T. Hate Verizon. Probably hate T-Mobile in a month.:-) There's no way I want to pay 80-120 bucks a month though. Ridiculous.
Well, the way they work (I use one daily) is that you have a combination password with it, so you have to enter your password AND the RSA dongle number. If Joe Badguy knows your password, he still needs the dongle, or vice versa, and there's one login attempt per minute allowed (at least on our server).
I love goat, but I've never cooked it, and not sure I've even seen it for sale in a meat store (in the US). It'd probably turn into a mass-market corn-fed monstrosity anyway. Bleh.
This might be significant if Clinton hadn't won BOTH of his terms with a minority of the popular vote.
Don't be pedantic. Clinton won by six million votes in '92, and eight million in '96. Bush got fewer votes than Gore in 2000.
[And of course I'm assuming that the gp is talking about the first election, even though stated otherwise. Bush not only won the popular vote in 2004 but had a majority. (Which is a hell of a lot scarier to me than the first election, but hey...)]
Isn't it nice how it is the impression of the "victim" that can make another person rot in jail for an entire lifetime because they did something stupid with their finger.
Something stupid? Like making the guy think he was going to get shot? Yeah, no actual harm there. And how is five years an entire lifetime? Armed robbery isn't exactly the mildest crime...
I have an (actually, four) Acer P241W screens. 2ms refresh, which is pretty good. 1920x1200. No real complaints - the "default" color settings seem to be quite different from one screen to the next, but rgb/brightness/etc. are all pretty configurable, so you can calibrate them. If you research, the major complaints I'd expect to see are stuck pixels (seems common; I kept trading in at Staples until I found a "clean" one), and there's some weird thing with XP + NVidia + a VGA cable and not being able to go full-res. Not guaranteed though.
Last one I picked up was ~$175 on fleabay, after MS Cashback. Worth a look, anyway.
The fundamental truth of the European Union is this: It's intended to attack the United States' economic dominance.
lulz. That's true of any union. Go look up "softwood lumber," "corn," and "steel," among many, many (many, many, many) other disputes the US is involved in.
Americans don't seem to realize what a "global economy" truly entails.

Verizon dropped Usenet access many months ago.
Baling. I think you need bailing wire when your jury's been rigged. :-)

And "Chuck Norris" on the other 5.
lulz. Only if you consider Debian to be far behind what Android or iPhone is capable of. What are you missing?

They don't actually what the bushing is ATTACHED to, which could be almost anything.
Yeah, sounds like they accidentally the whole bushing.
I thought periodic problems led to hardon collisions.

On a practical note: the iPhone sync is 2-way. What would happen if Palm implemented its sync with a bug that zapped your iTunes library?
Same thing that would happen if they had a plugin that zapped your iTunes library? What kind of question is that?
Which children? The ones who were breast-fed until they grew up enough to be taught that breasts are "obscene?"
I can hear them saying it. No wonder we're way behind on this project.
1,400,000 registered /. geeks are living vicariously through you. Don't fuck this up.
I don't think the GPL has a defined coding style. Maybe we can put that in v.4.

On their way...
Sometimes we don't know things until we know them, alas.

Yeah, I wish AKs were a common sight in my neighbourhood, so I'd be able to recognize them at a glance.
