  1. How long do we have to wait ? on New Palm Pictures? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Having been fed up with my Palm Vx slow processor and 8 MB limit, I completley had my mind made up about buyinng the new Sony Clie T665C. Now that the Palm OS 5 powered, ARM processor packed, devices are on the horizon, looks like I will suck up on my Vx a little longer. Hopefully not too long.

    Anyone knows how long will it be till we get those?

    I'll let you decide which one to call your lucky team.

  3. Re:Palm Vx on Ideal PDA Feature Wishlist? · · Score: 1

    I've been a Vx user for 2 years now. Everyone around me who just bought a pda got the new models. The new ones look good, but the features they have are not yet enough to dich my Vx. I still use it everyday and everytime someone make fun of it, I say "It does the job JUST FINE".

    Yes, it does the job just fine, why change ? I don't *need* and mp3 player, I dont need color, and I dont need high res. They are nice feautures, but not good enough to spend an extra $400

  6. IT IS OUTDATED on Slackware 8.1 rc1 Announced · · Score: 1

    It's the most update distro's because its the newest released distro. What's the time line between 8.0 and this one ?

    You want outdated ? how about that tgz packaging system ? how much outdated can you get ?

  7. aa VM patch on Linux Beta Kernel 2.5.16 Out · · Score: 2

    Anyone know why the development kernel and the stable kernel didnt adopt the VM patches which andrea did to his own VM ?

    They remarkably enhance the system performance, what is holding it up ?

  8. Not enough Juice yet on Handspring Treo 270 Leaked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The idea of carrying only one device instead of two (PDA+Phone) is appealing. But the the Treo is just about the only modern PDA out there that doesnt have an expansion card. Also, it is still running Palm OS v3.5 when all the new ones are on v4.1.
    The keyboard is too small that I find using the graffiti is faster for me

    To convince me from diching my Palm Vx, the new device must have:
    1) OS 4.1 or better
    2) Color
    3) Phone
    4) Expansion card
    5) Useable keyboard

    the treo is close, but no cigar. Sony's NR70 is right there, now if only they add the phone.

    I bouth that baby in 1992 when I joined college. It never failed from keep on impressing me as I go on with my Math and engineering classes. I'm doing my post graduate degree now and It keeps reminding me that TI makes the best damn calculators out there.

    I dont know if I will need this new voyager 200, but I think I will buy it just for good times sake when I used to use the TI-85 (ABCD) keyboard to program.

    By continuing to refuse to implement tools like ChanServ and NickServ, Efnet servers and admins made a WAR zone of themselves. I think they digged their own graves; if people would not fight on who owns the channels, thier wont be no DoS to Efnet servers.

    this is indeed a major waste of time and effort. Instead of porting debian to windows, concentrate your efforts into making linux more friendly/stable/faster... etc.

    I have never seen so much insecurity and lack of self confidence in a post more that this one.
    Dude, listen to yourself, for god's sake you dont have to apologize to the whole world for running redhat. Redhat is one of the most successful linux distributions out there.
    Dont listen to those If-you-dont-run-dist-X-then-you-are-gay idiots. LINUX IS LINUX... dists are only a combination of supporting packages for the core system which you can modify as you wish/like.
