This thing looks great but I am worried about a couple things. It almost seems that they are trying to do too much in a little PDA. Do you really want to use all of your RAM to store 6 mp3s? Will the RAM user upgradable? And what about syncing? They show it hooked up to a MS Laptop. AM I going to have to boot into a MS Operating system to synch this, or use transfer the "extra stuff" other than the the "normal" PDA studd (The MP3s and Pictures)
I have seen the movie, and thing the plot was paper thin at best. The cinematography was interesting during portions of the film, however the entire thing seemed too contrived. The music in the movie was interesting, and worth checking out, it is an eclectic mix of genres.
When schools and other institutions designed to allow free access to materials do things like this, especially when students are paying for access,it is important to point out loopholes. Here at cornell students pay $80 a semester for high speed access. The Fact that the university then wants to limit it's usage is ludicrous, it it a money making project for the school. Students who know anything about computers know how to get around the Sys-Admins defenses, if we are paying for it, they should not be able to tell us what to do with our bandwidth, so long as it is legal, or even in a grey area. I advise other students to look for ways to use non-standard ports (in cases such as napster) or use proxys. A great site for proxy information: http://proxys4all.cgi.net/
I Hope this helps all of the other students out there paying for high speed connections at University.

No one may be convicted except according to law, or be punished except after a court judgment. Interrogation by torture must not take place.
Article 99
No one may be taken into custody except in the cases determined by law and in the manner prescribed by law. For unwarranted arrest, or illegal detention, the officer concerned is accountable to the person imprisoned.

They talk about adding new code to look for pulsating signals, this is a very interesting idea, but unfortunately I am afraid that a lot of people will not switch from v1.6 to v2.0, due to the fact that this additional check will increase the amount of time that it takes to process a block. A lot of the people I know here at Cornell are doing this as much for the recognition of processing X number of blocks a day, as they are for the actual science of the project.
I run a system with mixed IDE and SCSI, as I imagine a lot of the people reading/. do. SCSI for the OS and applications, and a huge IDE for data, and less frequently accessed files, as well as my collection of legal mp3s. However am looking to add more SCSI storage to my system, but do not have room to ad another SCSI drive inside the case. Does anyone have suggestion or warnings about external SCSI enclosures.
Father Torvalds, who art on the 'Net, hallowed be thy named; thy Penguin come; thy will be done, at home as it is on the LAN. Give us this day our daily kernel; and protect us from coredumps as we protect others from GPF's; and lead us not into Windows, but deliver us from Microsoft; for Linux is the power and the stability forever, Amen.

hmmm... this only appears to work on the XCopilot, not any of the other copilots. "runs on the XCopilot emulator" If it is compatible with all of the Palm OS, why would it work only under a UNIX native emulator?
If they can do it all the better, and even if you can't put linux on it right now, give it a few months, or take the P3 out of this "cute little box" and put it in your big Linux machine, and drop a PII into it (esp good if you big machine started with a PII). Plus how could you pass up a machine with that much power for $499!
It saounds great, however it is pretty much overkill, while it would be nice to mount it vertically and see all of your code on one screen, it's not really useful for playing quake.... I am still partial to the SGI Flat Screen, good stuff.... http://www.sgi.com/peripherals/flatpanel/
It's a great idea, it'll be the best place to find out what will be happening next month, but when you try and access the month, the calender will be so overloaded that you won't be able to see it.
The maximum battery operation time for the 180cm (6-ft.) tall, 210kg(463 lb.) robot is 15 minutes. That doesn't leave much time for fetch! And if it jumps up on you to give you a "kiss" after playing with it, you'll be worried about more than the fact that the battery is going to die!
If linux is no good on high-end servers as Dvorak states, then why has SGI elected to use a modified version of Redhat 6.0 as the new OS for it's servers? (http://www.sgi.com/software/linux/index.html) While I am somewhat regretful that they are not carrying IRIX on to their new Intel based systems, I am glad that they have chosen to embrace linux over a Microsoft product.
Anyone interested in ridding themselves of the storage problem of old 486, pentiums, or newer if you are looking to get rid of them, as well as old monitors and components, pls drop me an email. I am looking to start a small start-up and could use the machines, for spooolers, firewalls, IP serving, etc; and any that I can not use would be greatly appreciated at local schools.
No, Handspring is the start-up by the old Palm chief. And palm has every right to protect it's intellecyual property if it feels so inclined. This is not to say I do not support Open-Source, and please don't email me saying that is. Just that Palm has developed this software, and they have rights. I am just glad they are not suing everyone who is porting it to linux.
