The review seems very light on the multiplayer information.
The best thing I have heard about the DS is that for multiplayer games only one person in the game has to have a copy. Does anyone know if the same applies to the PSP?
Their mobiles automatically send a note saying "1 missed call," and tell them who called. People call back even without a message.
...this feature was on the first one I owned...
I think TFA explains poorly, the feature I believe the author was refering to was not the phone listing missed calls that you failed to answer while the phone was on. But that you get sent a SMS "from" the person who called, telling you when they if your phone was say off, or outside coverage.
Personally I use this rather than have to listen to "... *click*" 5 times if I let my battery run out.
Makes you wonder if we'll have 120 and 200GB drives in our cell phones in 2015:worry:
Oh, that's the cheap model, you can barly use it to store your video messages and contacts, let alone any other important stuff I'm saving for the 4TB model.
From TFA: Password-protected Microsoft (R) Office Word and Excel files can now be loaded when the StarOffice / OpenOffice.org user knows the password that protects the file in Microsoft (R) Office.
Thank whatever deity you prefer. The lack of this alone has had me wandering to windows machines for too long to view someone else's "secure" spreadsheet.
The HP45 is used in the HP 700, 800, 900, and 1100 series printers. Not the very rock bottom of the range, but definately in the same market as anything using the BCI-21 range of cartriges.
Check your volumes. Then factor in the price of a print head.
I assume you are comparing something like a HP 45 at USD 29.95 with a BCI 21 bk for USD 8.75. The HP 45 is a 42ml cartrige that HP say does 833 pages. The BCI-21 bk canon don't seem to want to tell us the volume, but will (if you dig) tell you that it will only do 225 pages. So that alone should make the HP cartrige slightly cheaper per page.
Then we factor in the print head. The HP print cartrige comes with a print head built on. The Canon one dosn't. So.. if we were to count the purchase of a print head as well, the we would get a BCI 21e at USD 55.95 and take off the price of the color tank USD 23.25. That leaves us at $US 27.70 for 225 pages using the "cheaper" canon ink.
As usual buying the cheap stuff will cost you more.
Compare this to the 30+ minute install for ANY version of windows (well, maybe not 3.11, but I've never installed that).
The gazillion floppy disk install of win3.11 used to take a long time. So we built a disk image with ghost. Our record for install after that was 11 sec
No - the point is that *you* installed it... *you* set it up... a geek was needed to get this beast working smoothly
When was the last time you saw your grandma install WinXP. Or MacOS Anything?
What would happen if you gave someone who had never used a PC before a WinXP CD and said get on with it? Thats right.. exactly the same thing as with Ubuntu
Slashdot Mirror
Personally, I'm waiting for the version that interfaces with your brain.
What, so it changes to the playboy channel every 3 min?
TFA says the Chinese govt LOANED Huawei the money to enter the US market. Why should you care where a company gets their finance?
Well here in New Zealand we are quite happy about your point b). The plummeting US dollar has meant US produced goods have got much cheaper here.
So from NZ, go dubya, keep destroying the US economy, we'll happly buy it cheap.
Right.. this would make the source bigger than the final version.
The opposite is the case here, hence the question.
I think the pig would nicer to be around than some whore who demands $500 a date.
Now it's been a while since I've written any code, but I seem to recall every time I compiled a program from source I had written it got smaller.
So why is the full download 40mb, and the source code download 14mb?
I know, AND the can if you run WoW in windowed mode, you can use it to look at thottbot while playing.

... a fancy MP3 player...
Fancy no. Fasionable, and well known. Yes.
i'm so tired of websites that provide only half a whack or at best three quarters of a whack. i mean, what good is half a whack?
You sir, have been surfing too many pr0n sites.
I'm pretty sure the absence of blogs would result in significant productivity gains at most American companies
As would the absense of slashdot.

Frags per minute.. I count mine in frags per second.

I saw a popup while using lynx. Dump them girlie browsers.
I missed the subject, and thought "damn, that's impressive"
We only have one ISP here who can sell DSL at over 256kbps. oh wait.. you wanted cheap too.. my bad.
The only way to stop that new version of skynet would be a scorched Earth policy on our entire electrical grid to power off every node.
So you watched T3, but missed the matrix?
Remember that huge explosion in NK last year? Some sources have claimed that it was a failed assassination attempt.
DAMN That is some assasination.
That's easy, just add one of these
Outlook.. Outlook got better.
