Color text, of course. My first computer was a Mac Plus, and in MacWrite (or in Word 3 or 4, for that matter), you could mark sections of text as colored. Pop the color ribbon in your ImageWriter II, and you could print in color. You just couldn't see it on the screen.
I've heard there are hacks around that let you use Graffiti 1 on a modern Palm, but I don't know the details. I certainly hope there are, because while I still love my old IIIc, eventually I'm going to have to join the twenty-first century and get a Tungsten, and I have no intention of throwing away seven years of Graffiti experience if I can possibly avoid it.
The nice thing about Graffiti in particular is that it shies away from the really hard aspects of handwriting recognition, in favor of something simple enough to be feasible on a Palm. Since it only tries to recognize individual letters, it can do a much better job than similar era and market products (i.e., NewtonOS). (It's instructive to note that Graffiti originated as a third-party Newton app intended to replace Newton's native word-based recognition with something simpler, but more reliable.)
My point is, which approach are the packages you mentioned taking? I'd expect letter-rec to be much more useful on a DS.
How about text recognition as an input method? I can do Palm Graffiti fine with my finger, so it should be eminently doable on a DS. Are there any similar open source projects out there?
If he became a British citizen at some point, he could convert it to a "real" knighthood. It's not common, but it does happen--a good example is the violinist Yehudi Menuhin.
Not one that handled personal data, no--or at least never near the branches that did. My internships at a pharmaceutical company and with a civilian DoD agency were strictly tech work.
As this is just another in a long string of weekly "your vital data stolen" stories, I'm starting to wonder: have big companies always been this fucking careless, and it's only due to SOX et al. that we're learning about it now? I'm not even sure which I'd prefer.
According to a study done by $IP_HOLDER_ASSOC, it is likely that theft of $THEIR_IP will continue to grow. $ASSOC estimates that $BIGNUM dollars were lost to piracy in $LAST_YEAR, up from $SMALLERNUM in $LAST_YEAR--. $ASSOC believes that unless draconian legislation is passed which empowers $ASSOC to hire bounty hunters to seek out and cut the thumbs off of people who steal $THEIR_IP, $THEIR_INDUSTRY will collapse.
Ordinarily, I'm all for free scientific inquiry, but people like this really make me wonder sometimes. Does this kind of guy even think of the consequences to society before he starts assembling a new freedom-defeating device? I worry sometimes that RFID, biometrics, etc. researchers are going to usher in the true Big Brother era mostly through their own shortsightedness in only looking ahead to the next grant or journal article.

Google "ablation cascade" for more info. Oh, and read Ken MacLeod's Fall Revolution series.
Yet.
Interesting idea. You could start by talking to the ham crowd--I'm sure someone's done moonbounce packet radio by now.
No, ELF, the Earth Liberation Front, a group formed in conscious imitation of ALF--they're the ones who firebomb condo developments and such.
Anyone else read _Integral Trees_?
Um, where have you been? Stallone's already been signed to Rocky VI (Ghod help us all). Something about playing Rocky as the coach of a new boxer.

Becoming a web portal is the last stage a tech company goes through before dying (see Netscape, Dejanews, etc.). AOL fails at it.

Review != description of content! Tell us what makes this book interesting, don't give us four screens full of detailed table of contents.
This is Slashdot, we don't need to be told what SCSI stands for.

What's up with the dept tag? Anyone know what it means?
"Why is Richard Stallman outside in a bulldozer marked 'LART'?"
It all boils down to *euros*!
dipshit. have you tried actually following that link?
Clearly, SCO bit off more than they could chew.

From TFA:
Anyone know what the dept line is referring to?
