There are bluetooth adapters that allow you to replace a generic RS232 cable or a generic parallel printer cable. Would these let you connect your peripherals?
No, it's saying you could project your PC's onto your wall a display similar to what you can do now with a standard computer projector, but by wearing special glasses, you'd be able to see depth in the image.
It uses the well understood method of polarising two images, overlaying them, and wearing glasses with polarised lenses, so you see a different image with each eye. But it does it very cheaply by using a standard dual-head video card to drive two standard computer projectors.
Actually I imagine you could do this for under $10K easily. Cheap computer projectors are what, $2000 each? $100 for a cheap dual-head card - more for an expesnive one if you plan to play games. The filters and glasses can't be that expensive. Of course, you'd need software that produces the appropriate pair of images, but TuxRacer and Quake are both open source, so I'm sure it can't be that hard.
It would no doubt be easiest to start with one- you get the connectors and can reverse engineer what they do.
Hmmm. The C-Dock II's that I had when I used a Dell (Lattitude but I think the inspirons use the same connector) had 2x PCI slots, all the ports replicated, a network card, and a copy of the CD bay. What else were you planning to hack into it?;-)
Any experts ouit there able to explain why they don't shield the cabin? I mean, if train companies can make carriges that block mobile phone signales, why can't they do it with plains? Or is it a case that they can, but don;t want to retrofit it to their older planes? Do brand new planes have shielding in place?
Oh, and another thing, has interference from a device ever caused a problem?
Well, they GPLed the Quake engine pretty quickly - I think it not unreasonable for them to keep the Q3 engine closed a while longer - shouldn't the community encourage companies who GPL their stuff after they've moved on? It's bette rthan keeping it closed forever.
Yeah, I dimly remember those. Used to be a rabbit point in Jericho near where I live. (That would be the Jericho in Oxford).
At the time it seemed a little limiting to me, although I guess since you got a base station in your home, it was better than a regular cordless phone.
These days I'll probably throw my land lines away when I get broadband, mobiles are so cheap and ubiquitous. Times change. Every time I Watch Lethal Weapon, the only thing in it that dates it is a mobile phone the size of a car battery.
Try some googling... I quickly found http://sunblade100.wells.org.uk/cache/59.html who says she is running sid and is pretty happy with it; it feels faster than Solaris did, and only a few minor issues.
http://www.debian.org/ports/sparc/ is also obviously a good place to start.
If you look at UK "find a house" web sites they usually have indications of average house prices in each region. Try http://fish4.co.uk to start with - they have job searches too.
I have to agree with A/C, the IT job market is rather flat in the UK at the moment.
Basically you go into a shop, give them your £5 and your registration number, and say "I'm going into London next Tuesday". Next Tuesday, if the cameras snap you, they consult the database and if you're there, fine; if not they pull your address from DVLA (UK version of the DMV for our American cousins) and fine £80 you in the same way they do people who get caught by speed cameras (post you a bill). (£40 fine if you pay up immediately)
You'll also be able to order on-line, on the phone, or by post.
It applys only 7.00am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday, and various people are exempt; taxis, ambulances, the army, motorcycles, disabled drivers, buses, coaches, tow trucks, electric or gas cars. You get a hefty discount if you live in the congestion zone, although you still have to pay some of it.
As a side note, the posts for the cameras are already going up and damn they are big and ugly.
That, or posibly a clip-on thumboard module. My own speculation is that this may be their "communicator" device; it has a favorites icon like an i705 instead of the calculator icon you see on a non-wireless palm; the indicator light top right looks very like the i705 conneciton status light, and it's made of plastic, not metal, indicating it is unlikely to be the top-end device.

One is moving all the data; the other is configuring the new server with all the account and address book information.
Assuming it is still proper Outlook, you can use exmerge (avaialable from Microsoft) to dump all the mail from the server into.PST files, distribute them to the users.
Failing that, (and assuming Exchange 5.5 or later)as other users have suggested, configure IMAP on the server and have the users suck the data down into their IMAP clients. (IMAP, rather than POP, so you can get folders other than just the inbox)
Also you can do a directory export to get a.csv file with all the account info in, use that to make your new mail server accounts. Easier than fiddling with LDAP etc. You can get the directory export any field associated with a mailbox - hint: run exchadmin/raw to get raw properties of a mailbox, then you can find out what the fields you want are called.
Isn't is a pseudo-acronym? The OS made by Be is called BeOS, that seems reasonable. The Mac OS is called MacOS, ditto.
I know where it is done to mkae the name look funky, that's horrible, but wnat is the alternative? Beos and Macos? They loose meaning because it becomes less clear that they are the OS associated with Be and Mac, respectively.

To quote:
"Many readers are no doubt thinking, 'Why does Knuth replace MIX by another machine instead of just sticking to a high-level programming language? Hardly anybody uses assemblers these days.'
Such people are entitled to their opinions, and they need not bother reading the machine-language parts of my books. But the reasons for machine language that I gave in the preface to Volume 1, written in the early 1960s, remain valid today:
One of the principal goals of my books is to show how high-level constructions are actually implemented in machines, not simply to show how they are applied. I explain coroutine linkage, tree structures, random number generation, high-precision arithmetic, radix conversion, packing of data, combinatorial searching, recursion, etc., from the ground up. The programs needed in my books are generally so short that their main points can be grasped easily. People who are more than casually interested in computers should have at least some idea of what the underlying hardware is like. Otherwise the programs they write will be pretty weird. Machine language is necessary in any case, as output of many of the software programs I describe. Expressing basic methods like algorithms for sorting and searching in machine language makes it possible to carry out meaningful studies of the effects of cache and RAM size and other hardware characteristics (memory speed, pipelining, multiple issue, lookaside buffers, the size of cache blocks, etc.) when comparing different schemes. Moreover, if I did use a high-level language, what language should it be? In the 1960s I would probably have chosen Algol W; in the 1970s, I would then have had to rewrite my books using Pascal; in the 1980s, I would surely have changed everything to C; in the 1990s, I would have had to switch to C++ and then probably to Java. In the 2000s, yet another language will no doubt be de rigueur. I cannot afford the time to rewrite my books as languages go in and out of fashion; languages aren't the point of my books, the point is rather what you can do in your favorite language. My books focus on timeless truths. "

Won't move your mail, but otherwise a good solution. In the past I've used this set-up to get round a hideous syncing problem.

I hate that phrase. I mean, the pot's own blackness doesn't make the kettle any less black, does it?
I reckon if we tell him he needs the convertor about... say 5 more times ... his head will explode with frustration.
Then we go to his house and steal the display.
Ha, there's something wrong with your bsiness model when:

2. ?
3. Profit!
obviously doesn't work.

I recall something similar done with some superb lines:

"Not really. By the way, did you really think combing your hair different would fool the worlds greatest detective, Mr Kent?"

The IMDB is your friend...
It's not fun though...
Over here in the UK they're threatening people with jail time if they don't stop selling things in imperial measurements. Google has the story.
Since a lot of tiny businesses' can't afford to replace all their tills and scales, it hit's quite a lot.
Well, I'd love a way to speedily enter text on my Palm... what a pity there's no version of this that works under PalmOS.
;-)
Still, there's a linux version, so that's alright
Bah, not only moderated down, but they've edited the story so I look like a babbling nicompoop.
