The laptop originally came out of the education department at HP. I can kinda see the point of that. Of course, the smarter kids will probably think of some way to get ISO files and a virtual drive running on the thing.
You are plain wrong. Vista will be offered with the C-7 1.6Ghz chips at launch. Units have been out for review for a while now; embargo dropped at midnight. Here is one such review:

While someone else can't crash their computer into mine, they can let their computer become part of a botnet that ends up spamming my email account. While no damage is really done to me (besides the irritation of sifting through the account), I would assume the aggregate additional bandwidth costs to the ISP is another story...
Somewhat offtopic, but how many Chinese citizens do you think know about the Great Leap Forward? And how good do you think the coverage was of the land riots?
Let me start by saying that I own an iPhone. It's great. You own one too, so I don't need to go into details. But, I also have a K800i that I've yet to sell. Not a smartphone, but rather a feature phone; no Windows Mobile, Symbian, or any other OS commonly associated with a smartphone. It doesn't have EDGE, but the K790a does (it lacks 3G)
I, too, have Opera Mini installed. Unlike you however, I can use Opera Mini and listen to music at the same time. I've never tried calling and browse photos at the same time, hold on... yeah, I can do that too. I don't have any problems syncing music or the address book either, whether through a USB cable or Bluetooth. Oh, it plays well with both Windows and Mac. It has a kick-ass 2MP camera with real auto-focus and real flash. I can upload photos directly to blogs. I've got IMAP and POP3 access on the phone, though I'll agree that the screen is way too small for anything but to check email quickly. In any event, the three things you mentioned all work fine.
So, maybe your problem was that back then you didn't do enough research to find the right phone?
Be an idiot moar; he wasn't complaining about how old the city was. He was complaining about how everyone's doing the least that they need to to do stuff, and pointed out the fact that, for instance, the newest line was done in 1919 because they aren't able/willing to spend the money and effort or convince the public that they should spend the money and effort to build a new line. Idiot.
...third-party apps can't run as a background process? From the documentation: "Only one iPhone application can run at a time, and third-party applications never run in the background." Limited resources or not, it seems like this is going to end up like the older versions of PalmOS.
You shouldn't have felt bad. It's pretty common for used Ninjas to go for nearly NEW price; they're pretty dependable. In fact, when I was looking to get a motorcycle, everybody was telling me that one benefit of a Ninja is the high resale value.
He's saying that he would only be driving a car 10-15 times a year when it rains in Arizona, but he would more likely buy one of these cars, which are a lot more affordable (~$2500), than a SmartCar (>$12,000), which would be too expensive just to use only 10-15 times a year.
"The PS3 will play every single big name franchise so many Europeans bought PS2s for. Anyone suggesting that all those PS2 gamers are going to give up all those big name titles for a graphically weaker, absurdly unreliable console just to save 50 to 100 bucks?"
This is sort of random, but what are the odds that 'idiots' are less likely to use contraceptives? If it's true, then it *would* follow that 'idiots' are more likely to have offspring, wouldn't it? No Lamarck necessary.
Given the fact that it's going to take at least another month for supply to meet demand (and that ignores all the people who have been waiting for a Wii), what would give you the idea that Iwata and Co. would want to trim the price of the Wii? I'd be surprised if there was a price cut before summer.
Anyhow there's no point in going beyond material possesions if it's only temporarily. If you're so enlightened, why don't you just stick with your GameCube? There's still plenty of fun games for it and then you won't have to worry about yet another material possesion.
So, hypothetically speaking, if I had been driving to my relatives' house on, say, Thanksgiving, and I possibly took a right turn instead of a left one and ended up 3 miles away before turning back, I was, in theory, also pretty close?
Your library (local or virtual) would need to partner with Amazon, then, as Only their DRM'ed files work on the Kindle. *Someone* will have to pay for it somehow. Somebody always has to.

Out of curiosity... have you visited Mali yet?

Think of a caltrop. Then connect each end of a caltrop to another caltrop.

Oh, you mean like the new 399 PS3?
Dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they optimize your local network and find rogue wireless access points?
Right, and how many of them were because somebody forgot to top off the tank?
Uh, no. All code that isn't yours must attributed to the original author.

Funny, I thought you were the one who compared the Newton to the Kindle in the first place.
There's more than one round. $4.6 billion is merely the minimum you have to be able to front in order to be allowed to bid in the first place.

I wouldn't know; I own a DS and not a PSP.

"Comic books and the billion PDF files people have spring to mind."
Perhaps that falls under "stuff you upload"?
