I want a phone which syncs properly with my Exchange server (Yeah I know it's not OSS, so shoot me). My PDA does that, but until my phone can sync with Exchange I don't care how smart it thinks it is. Windows Mobile 5 on a PDA is fairly slick, anybody know of a cheap(ish) phone which offers contact/calendar sync of a similar level?
Not as good as the ones the UK has. There was a law passed in a town (The exact location escapes me, I'll look it up sometime) which had the annulment of a marriage of one of the town's officials in it. There is much legal wrangling as to if this means that anybody holding the position has their marriage annuled, or if it was only at the time of the law being passed.
I get mod points every couple of weeks, and get plagued to metamoderate at least once a day, sometimes twice. Perhaps the points system is on the fritz?
Don't most commercial airliners nowadays have the glass cockpit software doing cross-checks in the background as well? A cellphone might be able to interfere with GPS (Though it's awkward to do), but for it to interfere with the entire flight controls so that the system doesn't realise something is wrong is so improbable you can ignore the risk, 1 in 1.0x10^lots.
Yep. I was expecting something more along the lines of a config-free integration with Outlook/Exchange/Office/Windows/Windows Mobile/Active Directory, but no such luck. Instead we get something about vacation snap-ins? Anyone with more MS back-office experience care to translate for us?/me goes back to wrestling with Outlook Web Objects Group Policy
With Win2K it's possible to buy a CD without a licence attached, such as copies to be used under a site licence. Having a copy of the software doesn't necessarily mean you're allowed to use it (Although the point is moot in this case).
The x86 version isn't available in any store, only the PPC version. You may be able to get around this with licencing (ie copying the software is fine as long as you have a seperate licence, as with a lot of MS software) but IANAL.
You're not paying for the software on the CD. You're paying for the time and expense involved in putting it on said CD. You may also be paying for support of said software.
As far as I can tell, that entire point makes no sense. You can utilise VB in the sense of VB.NET to create applications, but to integrate those with a website still requires at least some HTML. The HTML has been able to be generated using a WYSIWYG (ie graphical) interface for years now.
Whilst I was in the states on holiday I was shocked at how varyable the power supply actually was, given that it came from different suppliers with differing terms and all kinds of other things which really don't help matters.
In the UK the National Grid is able to shunt massive amounts of power to where it is needed. It even accepts supplementary inputs from any point (Such as people who have solar panels on their roof) and redistributes that accordingly. The USA grid needs not only new hardware, but also some stricter regulation (Your power *will* be this frequency etc.).
Good points made, though I reckon by 09 PCs will have gleaned so much from consoles that they will be able to outperform them in most areas. Remember when XBox was released and hailed as a graphical masterpiece, then 6 months later it was regarded as mediocre by top-level PC gamers?
I disagree with your costing. If these things can hold 20 books between charges, I presume those to be reasonably sized novels.
Do you have any idea how much 20 reasonably sized novels actually weighs? How much space they take up? If the reader can also hold SD cards (Or even miniSD)) and comes with a case which can hold them, that's hundreds of books in something the size of a small notebook. Since I travel a lot, I know I'd rather cart around one reader with some cards than two suitcases full of nothing but novels.
I've encountered users who have not realised that applications could be closed. They called site support saying their system was slow. I walked in, saw their taskbar full of apps and just hit the power button. I would have said that on their double-layer taskbar there was only 5 or 6 pixels per active task.
But that's not what PDF is for. PDF exists to make documents look and print the same on all systems, and *not* to alter the formatting to match the output.
Depends how algorithmic it is. If the whole thing is based purely on statistical volume + bayesian filter based on the same and not on any manual intervention then it should be fine. If BigBoxMail didn't specifically censor that from Spamorama and it just happened to fall into the 'spam' statistics then Spamorama don't have a legal leg to stand on, First Amendment or no.

Not necessarily. It could just be that some letters happened to be encoded to things other than L.

GTA5 - Liberty San Vice [Insert Name] City?
They could try using the constants instead. Chances are observing the value of the constant would vary it quite nicely.
And I want to go study this at university? If you need me, I'll be under the nearest bar.

Minor point - Flickr is Yahoo! and not Google. I would prefer it Googlyfied in place of Picasa (Ugh), but we can't have everything.

My bad. But still, if it can hold more than that I quite like the idea of being able to cart my entire library with me on a holiday.
I wouldn't worry, seems the mods have got to it.
Perhaps defaulting to not indexing images, but putting something in robots.txt to explicitly allow indexing?

Fast. Efficient. Saves regularly. Beta, but mostly solid and constantly improving.

I look forward to the *AA vs. Microsoft court case.
