Well war seem to breed innovation... innovation or fear or desperation. I truly believe that aviation would not have advanced as quickly as it has without the two world wars. For the same reason (cold) war got us into space. It's very unfortunate, but it looks like it's "no pain no gain". I just hope taht all future wars are of the cold variant.
A lot ATMs run OS/2. I wonder if the new one running Windows still has the legacy OS/2 support in it. It could very well be the exact same app the ran on OS/2 that's now running on Windows.
So true. I have the MP3CD player in my car and my Sony Clie is perfect for MP3s at the gym. I've dropped my Clie so many times while working out that I doubt any HD based player can survive the damage.
I haven't had any high quality CDRs go bad on me yet. And by high quality I don't mean your bulk spindles, I mean Mitsui Gold, Tai Yuden, Kodak Gold (no longer produced), Verbatim DatLifePlus (stay away from ValueLifePlus), etc...
To be extra safe, I run two CD-R drives to write two copies of the data to two different brands of CDR medias at the same time. Then I also overlap the data for the next batch -- taking half the data from the previous CD, and adding new data to fill the new one. So that any given data is on no fewer than 4 good qulaity CDRs from two different brands/batches.
I also happen to have the a second drive in my computer (not RAID) dedicated to backups and quick recovery. Then there's also an external Firewire portable HDD that is another copy of the backup. I say you can never have too many backups.
This is how I backup my precious photos. For regular data, all of it fits on one CDR so at least once every month I write a full backup to a CDR. The CDR has got to last at one month right?
As for MP3s... that's what P2P is for.. distributed backups.
They've created a "Palm Trademark Holding Company" company to be co-owned by PalmSource(55%) and palmOne(45%). The new company will get all the rights to the Palm trademark and will license it to the two companies. This is suppsoed to clear up any legal issues with the "Palm" brand.
I guess they also own the "Palm Powered" mark used by all PalmOS device makers.
Anybody noticed how rediculously bright Japan is compared to the rest of the whole? Mind you, it's probably one of the most densly populated place on the planet. I wonder what would happen if that entire grid went down?

I believe the GUI version was called "smit"... although, it's been some years since I've played with an AIX box.
We used to run SCO and AIX at work. I've never liked SCO. We still have an OpenServer box that we keep around that contained some legacy data. We will be having a party as soon as the 7 years is up and we can hose the system.
ATI is in Markham, Ontario... just north of Toronto.
Incidently, Markham calls itself "Canada's High-tech capital"... but don't tell Ottawa that. It is home to the Canadian head-quarters of many tech companies like IBM, Motorola, Lucent, Phillips, Sun Microsystems, Toshiba, and Apple... (just to name a few of the internationally recognizable tech companies).
BTW, the "IBM Toronto Lab", which does software R&D lab, is actually located in Markham.
In the past six months I've lost about 30lbs and 4 inches off my waste (sic - pun intended).
I used to skip breakfast and just have lunch and dinner. Now I eat a big breakfast, 2nd breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, evening snack, mid-night snack. Oh, I also go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week (averaging about 1hr each).
There's no other way. No fade diet is going to work. I eat plenty of carbs and plenty of meat. Haagen Daaz as mid-night snack? No problem. KFC? Twice a week.
See, the one thing I've learned is that if you are going to make any changes to your life, it better be a change that you can keep up for the rest of your life. Once you fall off a "fad diet" you'll be back worst than you started.
For those who wants to lose a few inches off their waist, skip teh situps and crunches. They've never worked for me. Just lows of low impact cardio exericise and some weight training to increase muscle mass will do it.
Nothing new here except the CPU and RAM allocation.
The "Sony Handheld" engine concists of an ARM926-based CPU that can vary between 8Mhz-123Mhz (performance vs battery life trade-off), built-in GPU/DSP, 64Mbit of on-chip RAM, direct interface for MemoryStick/USB/Camera/audio. Basically a single chip computer.
The UX50 also has a strange configuration of RAM. 32MB DRAM, 16 of which is user sable (the other 16MB is for system heap space). Then there's another 64MB of non-volitile RAM. 22MB of that is used for files you normally can't store in PalmOS RAM (MP3s, andanything that isn't in Palm db format). Another 16MB of non-volitle RAM is used for automatic backups.

It's all CNN's fault. All this hype and hysteria.
At one point Larry King wanted to interview local talk-show host Mike Bullard about SARS. After the pre-interview (i.e. screening process), they decided not to do the interview afterall. The reason? Mike didn't want to tell them the story the way CNN wants to hear it... that everyone in Toronto is getting SARS and that everybody is scared silly.
The truth is, I don't even know a FOAF (friend of a friend) that has SARS. I have not seen anyone wear a mask in public. So how come, every tiem I turned on CNN, there are pitures of people in Toronto wearing asks. Where are they finding these people.
God I hate the media.

SARS Contained
·
· Score: 3, Funny
That 10% death rate is inflated. First of all, most of the people that got it was already in the hospital for one reason or another. They count it as a SARS death if there's 1% chance that it was due to SARS.
I live in Toronto, and some think SARS is great. That's right, cheap theatre tickets, low hotel rates, no waiting for a table at your favourate restaurant. Easy to find parking, and there's always the obligatory "SARS discounts". To quote , "WE LOVE SARS!".
But seriously, no offence to the people who have really sufferred from this sickness, but this thing is over-hyped. If you just watched CNN, you'd think everybody in Toronto was getting it left and right. And where the heck do they find all those people with SARS masks? I've been all over Toronto in the past few months and haven't seen one single person wear a mask except on TV (pictures of hospital workers).
What's worst is that they are proposing to add the tax to hard drives, SD, CompactFlash and other flash memory products. I saw I sign at Best Buy encouraging people to protest this proposal... also noting that we are already paying a levy for CDRs and other recordable medias.
This pisses me off because a large portion of my storage needs goes to my own personal digital photso and NOT music. Never mind that almost all of the MP3s on my HDD are ones ripped from my CD collect. The rest that I have doesn't even cover the money stolen by the levies.
Here's something for the "Music Industry" to chew on... I used to buy 2 CDs per month, now I buy none after finally out about the levies..... And you still owe me money!

There is very powerful HP 48 emulator available for your PalmOS device. Even runs my old HP 48SX programs.
Wouldn't that be considered insider trading?

I think a better question would be "Have you stopped being a Terrorist yet? Y/N"
Have you stopped beating your wife yet? Y/N
That's right let's all pay SCO the "license fee". Just remember to send them the right amount of Monopoly(tm) bills, because they don't give change.
