I'm sorry, but I have trouble seeing any story that goes into that depth about network tools being "engaging, engrossing, serious, mature, entertaining"
It's the same article, posted in different places. But regarding the Treo being included, let me quote:
The change was not unexpected, given PalmOne's decision to focus on the nascent smart-phone market with its Treo device, Todd Kort, analyst for Gartner Inc. said.
Further on in the article:
Gartner defines a PDA as a data-centric wireless device. Smart phones, on the other hand, are voice centric, but also offer some data services.
If you're getting you're numbers from this article, I hope you noted that it's only referring to the handheld market, and specifically excludes smartphones like the 650.
This site has interesting numbers. It seems the Nokia smart devices outsold the others (combined) in Q12005, with a 50% market share.
I take it you own your company? Because if I took Windows (and more importantly, MS Office) away from the executives for whom I've worked, their heads would explode. One, a fanatical Mac user, couldn't accept the differences between Mac and PC versions of Office.
... a new batch of consoles are announced, but no.
Personally, I like the depth, complexity, and expandability PC games have, that consoles (so far) have lacked. Perhaps online access and hard disks for consoles will change that, but I doubt it.
From the links you gave, max speeds are a tad above ISDN/BRI, or twice that of a 56k modem. My guess is that since you're located in such a rural area, your coverage will be spotty. You'll have to decide if that's worth $80/month. If connect speed is that important, you might consider moving.
Of course, I understand that might not be an option. I spent the late 80's and early 90's at Loring Air Force Base, in northern Maine. Most of the POP's for the services I used were in southern Maine. I spent obscene amounts of money connecting. And yes, we were on Milnet, but I was in the Civil Engineering Squadron, and we had a 9600 baud connection through a Wang VS. I did manage to download Linux onto 5-1/4 floppies, but I digress.
Is there a t-shirt involved?
Yes, participants will also receive a t-shirt for taking part. We will need your size after your application is accepted. The T-Shirt will not be shipped until you have completed your development work.
This is how OSS devs get paid.
from the FA:
The three developers of the Cell processor are preparing to release full chip specifications and software libraries
Those being IBM, Toshiba, and Sony.
It's all in the timing.
It means the same as 'is', just underlined

Performance?? I can't imagine a real-time rendering engine (i.e., games) in .NET or java.
Yep. I remember Dell advertising 2- and 4-panel (2x2) lcd displays not too long ago.
Have you tried DOSBox?
I guess the catchcas will be coming back.

How about a Colossus reference, then?
Not always. I had it from '98 to '01 and it was a local call. Best option at the time, especially once I got an autodial router.
Thank you.

My spellchecker sucks, however.
I have one, in my head. I'd bet you do to.

Actually, it's more a case of the MacOs error code doesn't provide enough information to pinpoint the problem, whereas a BSoD occasionally can.
I wouldn't call that an error. In most offices I've been in, that's exactly what most non-IT workers would do when given those instructions.
