I worked on a software development contract at one of the national labs. The woman in charge from the lab was a physicist with no programming or project management training or experience. We were behind schedule and under the gun to deliver, when she had me come in on the weekend to spend 10 hours each day telling me LINE-BY-LINE what comments she wanted inserted!
Not just in NY. Hotels routinely get mail and packages for guests. You just need to make sure that the package arrives while you are there. Order it two days before you leave for 2nd day delivery (much cheaper then overnight). That gives you a four day magin for any delays. As long as you have a reservation, if the package gets there before you they can find you in their system.
I'm told that Cingular doesn't lock tri-band GSM phones, on the grounds you bought a tri-band cause you might want to use it in Europe. Makes some sense.
Also, unlocks for most phones that have been out for a while go for a couple of bucks on eBay.
You are comparing the Oqo to boxes 2-10 times its size. If you want a mini-ITX, fine, but it won't fit in your pocket, or even your briefcase. See http://www6.tomshardware.com/business/20020417/win hec11-11.html for a size reference on the Oqo.
Lots of folks have their lives revolve around one software package. That doesn't change the fact that CADD users are a tiny percentage of the world, and PTC has only a part of even that market.
If you read the Cnet artlcle, this only affects software from a single company, and they are supposed to be "product lifecycle management" specialists. Why would anyone else care? The rest of us have until 2038 before there is a problem. Probably will get fixed in the 4.2 kernel.

Let me get this straight. You think a single purpose gadget that is
limited to Seattle (or at best major metro areas) is better then a
general purpose tool that can do the same thing? What's wrong with this
picture? Have you even tried
the Seattle traffic data on a PDA? Works, great, takes only seconds,
and is kept current. See the link
for the Palm software.
Furthermore, a GPS or DVD with built in comm links, or a fast PDA with
them can even display the Seattle traffic
camera views in real time! Try that with a single purpose toy!
I thought there were already two leading contenders for explaning the collapse of these civilizations. Namely the eruption of the Thera volcano and the Great Flood when the Black Sea released much of its water suddenly.
I know that at least one Klingonese-English dictionary has been published. Has anyone translated the comments from Kraang (or Klaang), or whatever his name was? Especially the parts the linguist refused to translate.
And was it just me, or did this dialect sound noticeably different from waht gets used later (previously, whatever)?
Check out APC. They introduced a line of no-frills racks that are quite nice. Used a bunch at the last place I worked. http://www.apcc.com/products/rack/post_rack.cfm.
My understanding is that the federal Wage & Hour group of the Department of Labor has a set of requirements on this. Depending on the terms of your on-call, you are either "engaged to wait" or "waiting to be engaged". If the former, I think they have to pay you for the time (at a reduced rate). If the latter, they only pay when you get called.
Only coupon I could find was at Creative's site, for $50 at hifi.com AFTER you already have a Creative product to register against. That hardly seems applicable to a current purchase. Did I miss something?
One of the things that really bothered me was that they shortened the litany against fear. Hard to believe that two more sentences would have caused major timing problems:(
The best site I've found for info on cell phones and plans is www.point.com. Although they don't "review" phones as such, they let you do side-by side comparisons of phones and service plans.
Dvorak keyboards are great, and much faster, especially for those of us who are not touch typists. The problem is that if you ever use someone elses keyboard, you go nuts switching back and forth.

This is the same machine that Thomas J. Watson Sr., the founder of IBM, predicted "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers" in 1943.

I gave notice on Monday morning.

The computer industry isn't what it was, and probably never will be.
Because the Sonys shown are huge by comparison. The Oqo is 3"x5"!

So again: For 99% of us, who cares?

Now that they have this huge library scanned in, will they make it available for anything _but_ searches?
Curious that Google /. report!
News has NOTHING
on this besides the

Give the feds a call to make sure.
