What's the big deal with getting certifications? It's like the difference between an electrician and an electrical engineer. They should both be able to wire your house, but I would only want one of them designing our power grids.
Usually, their OS's are proprietary. They hire a bunch of Compuer Science majors every year to program this stuff. They were working on a PDA integrated with GPS last year that ran on WinCE, but I don't know if that ever got to market. I think they were considering switching to the PalmOS.
My favorite embedded device has always been the
Windows CE gas station pumps. Because something like pumping gas, ordering Big Macs, and asking for directions all at the same time was just too vital a service for people not to utilize.
I hope this means that the actual drive matches the blue of the laser too. Then I could have a cool new drive to match the thousands of blue LEDs I bought in bulk.
It's obvious from your verbage that you have obviously not seen the movie Waterworld. Because, obviously, if you had seen the movie, you would have obviously enjoyed it (because of its awesomeness). Obviously.
Has anyone else noticed how eloquent and concise Tanenbaum's responses have been? I have many of the books he has written from when I was in school (and I enjoyed them all), but here he seems to take on an amazing writing persona. It's good to see him in top shape. Not to mention that he's so funny. There should be a book written about all of this.
I used to use many different PDAs, mostly non-color. Probably the best greyscale was the Handspring Visor Pro. I could read all of my e-mails that I sync'd but contrast was a problem. I used to try and sync some of the news sites that I liked to read before I went to class, but trying to read those was terrible in bad lighting. The first time I saw a color PDA I loved it. The next chance I get I will probably get one of the Tungsten's.
I'd like to know how I'm supposed to access free WiFi if I don't have a laptop. Some of us poor college students can only afford an old K6-2 500 MHz machine that only has an ethernet card because someone gave it to me (it's not actually that bad, but close). I think that they should worry about getting people the technology first, and then worry about utilizing it to the fullest. I really think that projects like this as weel as the government should be more worried about suppling something like free dialup or discounted computers to people who can't afford it.
I work at the main library for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and we keep track of nothing. Any person can come in and use any computer any time the library is open. In fact we have had a problem with the homeless people coming in during the winter and: smelling bad, scaring people, or whacking it to pr0n.
There is no log in for using the card catalog, in fact anyone can search it at any time: iris.unl.edu
This article should make a lot of complainers happy: Microsoft is good competition, DRM is great, open source is bad, Sun thinks they're helping the open source world, RedHat sucked. I can't believe how many things that./ers are mad about are included in just one article. Go to town everyone... Go... to... town.
First of all, I am slightly afraid of the "Hire Me!" effect that I have seen. When you get people who are desparate for a job, they (and sometimes me) can sound whiny and pitiful. IMHO, the only way to combat this is to really be honest with what abilities you have and what you can provide. IT workers must explain the benefits of having IT that is in in your own back yard. Explain that communication difficulties alone may make up the difference in cost between the US and foreign work. Let those who want IT know that US IT can provide personalized, friendly service (in other words, become the Wal-Mart of IT).
I don't know about you, but the prospect of moving a planet out of its orbit and into another sounds like a fun thing to try. I know this is an article about nanotech, but after hearing that example written in there, we should put more research into moving around planets. I think that would be awesome.
So basically, if all songs are about 3 minutes long, and I pay $3 per song, I have to pay $60 an hour just to listen to new music. Even if I listened to my music for two hours in a row, I would still be paying $30 an hour. Even if I listened to the music a few more times, it hardly seems reasonable.
What about the poor college students whose only source of income is to mod Xboxes? I know some people who offer to mod peoples' Xboxes for a small fee plus the price of all of the parts.
Anyway, the people I know just want to be able to either run a game off of the much faster hard drive or test out a game longer than Blockbuster allows (which I know isn't right, but some games are so long, renting them just isn't enough time!). Sometimes they actually buy the game that they rented, you know.
Reducing bandwidth is probably a pretty huge deal with the Google front page. Have you ever thought about how many people have their homepages set to Google? That means that (even with browsers caching the main page) people are probably hitting the Google index millions of times a day without actually doing a search. I know that at my work, there are potentially 50 hits a day on one computer to google.com without actually doing a search.

2. Google the subject matter
3. Prove the material right or wrong by linking to what you found
4. Offer your unsolicited political or philosophical view

If the court finds that stolen code exists in Linux, I want to know who put it there. That person will then have to create new code to replace whatever was stolen as his or her punishment. (Using a previous example: int i; replaced with int j;)

So you're saying you can't describe IT without UADA?

I hope that eMachinesShop works better than most eMachines or else they're in for a tough time.
Is that like using Windows 98 and Windows ME?
My Google Stock!
...Wait Google's not public yet... whew

My idea is a boat. Since all the ice will be melting in a few years anyway, might as well begin the Waterworld-like transformation.
A Free OS for a Free peoples! Can you believe it, they even hate M$ products too. Welcome to civilization ILUG.

This coming from the same state that also tails rappers when they come to shoot their music videos.
The only reason that I'm really worried is that I like to drive without my pants on sometimes.

Get the scientists working on the tube technology, immediately!
