just don't speed. it's not that hard. speeding causes an unnecessary amount of exhaust fumes, which costs lives. just don't, there is no excuse to speed.
speed is a measure of movement. Distance over time.
So are you suggesting we never move?
If not, how do you define when someone is "speeding"? 15kph, 50kph, 100kph (upper speed limit in NZ), 110kph (upper speed limit in AU), 130kph (upper speed limit in france during fine weather), 155mph (voluntary speed limit fitted to many cars in germany)
If driving 60kph in a 50kph zone causes unnecessary fumes (and increases risk of death in case of accident), then why doesn't driving 60kph in a 60kph zone also do that? Should we all be driving 30kph on the motorways to reduce risk of death?
From a purely environmental point of view I should be travelling in that rev range in the highest gear possible.
No you should be travelling in that rev range in the lowest gear possible. Anything faster than 10kph and start wasting too much petrol pushing all that air around that is so inconsiderately sitting right in front of your car.
A 486 can to MP3 comfortably. A fanless 800Mhz C3-Nehemiah can do mpeg2 & 4 comfortably, and with the mpeg2 and 4 hardware acceleration features of the Via CN400 northbridges' built in graphic chip, it can do it with pleanty of spare juice to do background work like streaming digital terrestial video streams from the TV Tuner cards to the hard disk, or playing mame!
That TNN300 thing looks hideous and would be completely out of place in most living rooms.
"Dennis says that porting the Levanta software to an appliance form-factor was "a very smooth operation," which he credits to the maturity of Levanta software as a standalone product.
In related news Microsoft reports they have successfully ported Windows from Intel Desktop ATX platform to VIAs mini-ITX platform
Among these things are: bluetooth stack, audio and video playback, filesystem support (think sd cards), more advanced applications and games, virtual memory management, advanced process scheduling features, (wireless) USB stack with host/client, mass storage controller stack, input device support (who knows what kind), hotplug capability (expansion cards), tcp/ip networking (perhaps for VOIP).
Which is why they use Symbian which does all that.
We used the Socket low power CF WiFi cards and got pretty good battery life with a SL5000D and a bunch of C700s that had the fantastic 640x480 crystal clear screen.
One would never find the labour party in any of these economies advocating the kind of industrial reform being contemplated in Australia
How about the Rogernomics of the Fourth Labour Government of New Zealand in 1984 that
slashed top tax rates from 66 percent to just 33 percent. Company taxes were similarily cut, while workers' incomes were squeezed by a new Goods and Services Tax. The right to strike was limited, and employers' attacks saw real wages decline by as much as 10 percent. Meanwhile unemployment doubled from 8.5 percent to 16.2 percent. Welfare benefits were slashed, and the dole for those under 18 was abolished.
May not be the same as Oz now, but this was back in '84...

The worlds-geeks-home-computer market segment makes up about 0.000005% of the PC market. And the sub group of those geeks who would buy a PPC machine just to wank over an exotic ISA is a fraction of that.
They wouldn't make a cent on such a machine, they wouldn't cover development costs.

You can't compare Intel to DeBeers (who won't put an office in the US cause they know the second they do, their ass is gone)

First, he doesn't really know how to measure the amount of memory a program is using. He combines virtual memory and In process memory, but they can't be combined. Virtual memory is a closer approximation to the total memory being used. In memory memory is just the part of Virtual memory that is current in memory (it's sitll in virtual memory even if it's in real memory).
In windows task manager, total memory allocated = Mem usage + VM Size
You should notice that for some apps physical > virtual, and for others virtual > physical, so it cannot be that physical is a subset of virtual.
Perhaps the Treo's work this way as well but I don't see how that can be without some other form of server side software designed to work with the devices and the Service provider.
It's called IMAP, and yes exchange supports it.
This little beauty tells me it probably doesn't work that way "3 Email, messaging and web browsing require wireless data services from a mobile service provider at an additional cost. ISP may also be required. Pricing varies by service provider. Wireless service coverage may not be available in all areas."
That doesn't mean your cellphone provider has to provide special support for the treo. It just means you have to have data as well as voice setup on your cellphone account. e.g. you need GPRS or whatever they use in the USA.

Seems to be a fan or two in there, or is that a fan and an old school PC speaker?
Save yourself a bunch of money and get a cheap VIA EPIA board and pop it in a nice tiny HiFi unit friendly case like a Travla C137 http://www.travla.com/Products/products.html

A web page can be as personal or impersonal as the author wants.
Just cause blogs are personal doesn't mean all content linked to by RSS has to be

No not the system tray thing. You have to turn off the minimise to system tray thing i think.
Then right click on the taskbar -> toolbars
and select iTunes.

Have you turned on the windows taskbar applet that comes with iTunes?
