But I guess pointing that out just makes me a racist.
No , your elitist attitude makes you racist.
where I live in asia , the majority of people have mobile phones and minimal landlines. It can tke years to get a landline in many parts of the country. But GPRS is available everywhere you can recieve a mobile signal , and EDGE and WCDMA are available in areas . The prices for these services are cheaper than voice calls.
Just because you need a super fast computer and a high bandwitdh connection to achieve anything does not mean it is required by everyone - functionality can be achieved without the pretty colours.
I take it your final line was your signature
Sure, for all those rural Africans using broadband
did you start on the internet with broadband ? what do you consider broadband - 64 isdn or maybe 100M fibre ? continual denigration does not help.
necessity being the mother of invention why could we not expect communities sharing a 384k EDGE connection developing meshing , multi casting , proxying networks to satisfy their needs.
your comment reeks of rascism and patronage.
Not to mention the security bonus - no sony rootkits for these babies and where will middle managment install their 'cool screen savers ' .
these are for an office with real IT support , not your local real estate agency.
The main people who didn't like them are the fashion boi metrosexuals.
symbian 60 OS , good screen , MMC card memory , bluetooth , GPRS. not much you couldn't do with this nifty computer .
I still have my n-gage original - I can't bear to part with it . I now use a nokia 6630 only because I wanted edge capability.
the zombie machines are owned by maybe half a dozen different techniques. Those suffering the DOS attack have the ip adresses of thousands of these machines - pick 10 - remotely examine those 10 machines to determine the process used to own them. yes brute force the exploit till you own the machine. from the machines find out the ip of the chat server or what ever the marshalling machine is. Dos that machine off the internet - if they cannot control the botnet they cannot cause havoc with it. botnet control has not yet reached the stage of peer to peer it is still centralised.
flash media is my choice for my portable devices. My dell axim x50v is encased in an innopocket magnum magnesium case and I have confidence in it protecting my device if it is dropped , but if I had rotating media in the axim I doubt it would survive. As CF cards get bigger and cheaper why would you want to use a hard drive?
[Quote]Largest crocodile ever recorded? What about the big fish stories I mentioned earlier? Would you believe the largest saltwater crocodile ever reported was 10.1 m (33.1 feet)? This animal was apparently killed in the Bay of Bengal, and was so large only its head was recovered. A skull reportedly belonging to this animal was stored in the British Museum, but when it was measured later it was estimated to have come from a 15.7 ft (4.8 m) crocodile - less than half the claimed length. The skull of another claimed 29 ft (8.8 m) monster was also later determined to belong to a crocodile no larger than 16.2 ft (4.9 m). These are still big crocodiles, but typical of the exaggeration normally associated with large crocodiles. Still, some of these stories seem more credible. Saltwater crocodiles above 6 m (20.3 feet) were certainly much more common in Australia and SE Asia before extensive hunting for their skins in the 1940's, 50's and 60's wiped out the big crocodiles. Some old hunters claim to have shot animals over 8 m (26 feet) during this period (e.g. a 27 ft [8.1 m] saltwater crocodile from the Staaton River in Queensland in the early 1970's). But without reliable measurements, such records are lost to the past.
These days, if you wish to convince anyone then please use a straight tape measure whilst sober from the tip of the upper jaw to the tip of the complete tail!
So what is the largest crocodile ever recorded? In more recent times, there are very few reliable measurements of extremely large crocodiles, but they do exist. A skull from a saltwater crocodile from Orissa, India, was large enough to have come from a crocodile between 20 and 23 feet in length. Its true size remains a mystery. The two largest reliable records of complete animals are both from 20.3 ft (6.2 m) crocodiles: the first was shot in the Mary River in the Northern Territory of Australia in 1974 by poachers and measured by wildlife rangers; the second was killed in 1983 in the Fly River in Papua New Guinea. In this latter crocodile, it was actually the skin that was measured by zoologist Jerome Montague, and as skins are known to underestimate the size of the actual animal it's likely this crocodile was at least another 10 cm / 4 inches longer. This is my candidate for the largest crocodile ever recorded. Unfortunately, because of the time needed for wild crocodiles to reach this size, the low number of individuals which seem predisposed to reach such sizes, and problems of crocodiles conflicting with expanding human populations, it seems unlikely that we will see many of these giants again.[/quote]

20 gig rotating storage? or 20gig CF card?
I know which one I would prefer in my mobile device.
And prices are falling fast - my 1gig CF card in my axim will be replaced with a 4gig in the next couple of months... I shall not even be thinking about putting a microdrive in it.
What we need is the anti-24. A show with a hero who is interested in building up our rights rather than finding ways of tearing it down. I guess that wouldn't go over too well in these days of ultra-Americanism, though.
or people can stop basing decisions on their favourite television show? why do people make script writers their mentors? maybe I am just missing something....
give your music away for free to encourage people who like it to come and see the band play live. To make money to live , a band will have to play live 5 nights a week , and only bands that love to make music will do it - it will remove all this manufactured music and leave the real stuff behind.
a phone with itunes - whoda thunk it.
I have seen quite a few of these phone integrated devices , the PDA/Phones... Can you turn the device on without actually activating the phone? if not it becomes a paperweight while you are on the aeroplane.
as for the music playing phone - there are many phones out there with either hardware or software Mp3 players built in...though I would rather use my axim x50v
I do not see the attraction of itunes.... sheep are cute , sheep are cute , sheep are soft and curly....
And the rush to negoitate 'Free Trade Agreements ' with the rest of the world , though most of the fine print seems to be concerning the enforcment of copyright and patent royalties.
Can a country be allowed to export nothing but litigation? will they be allowed to once the world wakes up to their strategy?

well...I saw it was a zip file , and I am afraid I do not trust them enough to unzip the file on my system
Quick - make a graph and a piechart , and you will be on your way to the top
With experiences like those you describe, I can see you have a future writing country music songs.
