...'vote republican'...
That's another thing you may have to rethink! You are on/. and the three leading contenders for the Republican nomination for President just declared they were creationists. (last night's news)
Good luck!
I have a similar situation and use a Sansa 512mb player that show up in PCLinuxOS2007 as a USB stick. I think the above user is having problems creating new folders/directories due to user permissions.
I too have used PalmOS a long time (since 1996) and am currently on my my second Handera 330 (after my TRGPro). Palm's stupid management decisions killed the OS, not any lacks of the OS itself. Palm went out of its way to kill products from hardware innovators like Handera, Handspring, Sony, Garmin, and Symbol.
Personally, I'd love to get my share of back royalty payments on my Great Uncle Moses' Five Books. For being the best seller in the Western world for the last 3,500 years, the royalties should really add up!
Like everything in life, there are trade-offs. There is nothing wrong with your choices - for your circumstances.
Traveling extensively, as I do, I don't want the hassle of carrying multiple sets of rechargeable batteries and a charger for every size I need on the road (AA, AAA, 9V). I prefer the ease of longer life and lower cost purchase already charged. I understand I am paying more overall for the batteries, but if I factor in the reduced medical costs of one less back surgery because of the weight of my pack or the saved time by not having to deal with the TSA people any more than I already have to, I come out ahead!
How about the crime of Recklessly using copyrighted (AKA Proprietary software) without adequate precautions that causes a death, injury or financial lost of taxpayer dollars??? OOPS!!! NASA, all of the armed forces, and the Department of Agriculture watch out! 'They' are coming for you next!
If Microsoft can enumerate the number of 'infringements' to this level of detail, then there has to be an Excel (maybe OpenOffice or Quattro??) spreadsheet with the Details. PUBLISH IT TO THE WEB!!! Stop posturing and playing games.
- Picture at a Halloween party
- Picture in a plastic pirate's hat
- School in question has a Pirate mascot
- Cup in hand from a LOCAL CANDY COMPANY (Hershey, you listening to the disparagement of your products? How about taking a position on this?)
- no indication if the stuff in the cup is more than water
- Of legal drinking age (anyway)
- fully dressed
- no sign of intoxication, etc.
- denied teachers certification on PICTURE discussed above?????
SUE THEIR ASS FOR:
- Tuition Reimbursement (Student AND any and all Children's education at a reputable school)
- Lost Wages
- Attorney's Fees
- Defamation of Character
- Pain and Suffering of the Student
- Pain and Suffering of her children
- Mocking the 'educational institutions of PA'
- Defaming Hershey products (the REAL crime in PA)
- Mocking of all other students of the school as 'Goody Two Shoes without a life.'
If I was hiring someone to spin the press for me, I'd want a person who SUCCEEDS in doing that for their employer. I have never met a person with a favorable view of her current employer. I have never met anyone whose view of her employer has gotten LESS WORSE during her employment. Strikes me as another failure of the hiring process. The HR department strikes again!
...and not before.
I've been using a PalmOS device for 11 years, most recently a series of Handera 330's. Palm has done NOTHING to maintain the franchise for YEARS. They went out of their way to get rid of Sony and Handera, and anyone else who made PalmOS machines. If they announce going to Linux by years-end, it will be 2010 before one comes out. I've wanted something to replace my aging PDA for a long time and simply refuse the WINCE machines. I guess I'll continue to look for old Handera equipment on Ebay and pray for something reputable from a third-party (Sharp, Psion, TI, ANYBODY OUT THERE?).
If there is prior art, it is from the idea of using a single controller for multiple ranges of control. Anybody ever heard of AIRPLANES??? All you need to see is WWI movies of pilots to know this 'patent' is bogus.
Charging is now working, although BitPim doesn't transfer information (reports an error switching modes. It is a v3c.). That is okay, if I really wanted to transfer info, I probably would have bought the Mobile Tools anyway. This thread is mainly about charging anyway.
Sorry, I don't know. You may want to find out from other Mac users or your friendly Apple store if it is so. I do know that when I am in Linux, the same computer and same cable works.
Two caveats:
You cannot charge a RAZR from a USB port on a laptop without buying Motorola's 'Mobile tools'. The port on my ACER laptop will not supply power without an active driver in WinXP - and Motorola doesn't include drivers with the phone (or allow them to be downloaded later). Another reason to not buy another Motorola product. Crippled USB port.
Would you buy a usb-equipped music player if you had to pay extra to get the usb port to work???
I've been using Microsoft products since 1977 when I purchased my first computer; it came with a cassette to load Microsoft's floating point BASIC language.
My problems with Microsoft stem from their business practices. It is one thing to make a competing product, price competition, and aggressive marketing. I don't have a problem with that. They even make acceptable software. But Tie in sales, threats to not sell a company's products to you if you don't discontinue a competitor's products, and modifying an operating system to prevent a competitor's application from running are all beyond my (and many other people) concepts of business ethics. They have even been found in violation of laws on the subject in multiple jurisdictions. I come from an ethical tradition that enshrines our codes of business ethics in our holy books with other topics of importance. Where possible, I avoid using the products of companies that I consider to have ethical problems. Since I do work for other people, I do have to use Microsoft products; but I don't have to like it. Where possible, I have chosen to use other products such as Linux, KDE, Gnome, XFCE, OpenOffice, Firefox, etc.
What bothers me more than the initial findings is that Microsoft CONTINUES to make the same kinds of ethical decisions after it has been pointed out to them in no uncertain terms.
I personally think the game is bullshit, but 'muslim sounding names'??? There are hundreds of thousands of Christians with 'muslim sounding names'. They live in places like Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Basra, Bagdad, Detroit, New York,.... Those of you old enough may remember Danny Thomas or his daughter Marlo. Danny (stage name) was born Amos Alphonsus Muzyad Yakhoob. Certainly a 'muslim sounding name' (except maybe the 'Alphonsus'). I'd class the 'Thomas' family - whatever they call themselves - as good, honorable Christians who have contributed to the good of the world. Including St. Jude's Hospital, one of the most famous institutions helping anyone who need it.
BTW, I'm Jewish.
Let's not confuse Christianity with jingostic, not-my-color/ethnic/ bigotry. I have actually met a couple of people (who claim to be christians) in my life (55+) that actually seem to live up to the ideals of the various versions. Not many, but some.
Iif you're not using MS Office you may find a lot of your secretarial staff are keen to leave.. they need to keep their skills current just as much as the resident IT geeks.. and in the secretarial world 'current' = latest version of Office.
Secretarial Staff?????? Where have you been the last 25 years? Since Apple first put computers on workers' desks (with Visicalc), the secretarial position has gradually disapeared. At this point, it is only a perk of senior management. And, these people are a lot smarter than you give them credit. Give them a tool and they will learn it! Not so long ago, 'current' = 'WordStar' or 'WP' or 'Ami Pro' or '...'.

Uhh,...previous art. Life has been on this planet since before the Patent Office.

Stanford isn't an ivy league school.
There are a lot of people too macho to admit they don't understand and end up making bad choices.

Just wait until the DRM folks get a wiff at this! 'How dare you make a model of my wonderful patented/copyrighted creation! (paper clip)'
Found it; disabled it; renamed it. Any comments from the Acer company yet?
