I am a cellphone application developer and I actually got to see this phone before most people. Let me tell you this keyboard for being an on screen is very responsive. With exception of the fact that you can't feel the keys (ofcourse) I don't think I missed a key the whole time I worked with it.
other than our lower middle class buying all there cheap crap at various discount retailers (i.e. Wal-Mart,Target, you fill in the blank). If they wanted to do any real damage to us they would simply quit buying our debt but then who would buy as much of their cheap junk as dumb lower middle class Americans do!?! Not to mention that if they really wanted to do some damage they could quit buying our debt and quit selling us cheap junk then our country would collapse. We simply do not have the manufacturing ability that we once did because we got lazy and cheap. If China were to completely pull out of the US right now we would be in a world of hurt for many years.
"why would they leave the 3D and imax version alone?"
Hmmmm, I don't know maybe because the average person who makes around 60 to 100 pounds per a month can't afford a P350-P400 IMax ticket. Only the rich can afford to see a 3D IMax movie in China so, the movie won't be seen by the majority of people which is what China wants! It is totally political because they are not in favor of the message that the movie is sending out because it is all about freedom from Oppression which is the last thing that China wants its peon slave workers thinking about!
Yes, I too have seen this more the once. There are quite a few people in my office on the non-technical side who I have seen do this. I then immediately explained to them that all you need to do is type www.google.com in the address bar and click go to get to Google. I also explained to them that there is this thing called a book mark that will allow you to click a "link" if that is what they desire.
As a huge Spiderman fan I can tell you from my perspective that the biggest problem that I had with it was that there were just too Damn many villains in one movie at one time! I mean come on Hobgoblin, Venom and Sandman. Each one of these villains could have spanned a whole feature film. Not to mention that they could have broken Venom (As intricate as his story is) into two movies! Spiderman three was a huge flop just for this fact alone much less the storyline and other reasons mentioned!!
surprise anyone? I mean come on in this recession anyone will do anything to have a competitive edge at getting the next 6 months worth of work. I don't hesitate to say that this trend started long before the recession and will probably continue long after its end. I know (End what's that)
I am currently using a Lenovo T400 Which has a great deal of the features that you are looking for. It allows for dual monitors (which I use all the time) It has a hot swap drive slot which will accomodate a CD/DVD RW, Hard Drive not sure about an extra battery however I seem to get about 4 hours out of the one battery I have with the IBM battery Miser that is built in. You can get an awesome docking station with pretty much everything you are looking for and I am booting win2000 (I know it's not 98 but I don't have a copy of that to give it a try), winXP, and Suse Linux. It has 2 Gig of Ram a 180 Gig drive and a Intel Centrino Duo core running a 2 GHtz and a Radion HD 3400 Video Card. This machine does great for me and it is in your price range as well (I picked it up for a little over a thousand but it looks like they are going for 749.00 http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:category.details?current-catalog-id=12F0696583E04D86B9B79B0FEC01C087¤t-category-id=19C791A03AF24034A0011B825513BCED/ now.
It's funny that this makes news on Slashdot but the app that does the same thing on the G1 which is Android Linux based is not even spoken of. Oh, and the Android app has been available for a couple of months now.
Stringrant = "I agree I too am seeing the white on White GNU/Missing Tag Monster when I am logged in so whome ever is assigned to this ticket needs to hurry up and fix it or give me access to the damn code and I will fix it myself!!!!";
I own a G1 and it already is "... pre-loaded with Google apps like Gmail and Google Calendar" so my first thought is are they going to try and sell what I already have for more money and sell one with less features for the price of mine? If so that won't go over well. I mean $300 is great for a open source phone that I can write my own apps for like I currently have. However, if they go changing the recipe too much then they might screw it up!
Don't get me wrong I just wanted to hang him because that is what the crime calls for. You don't sell government secrets to another country and have the crime taken lightly. I am by no means condoning our country's current path of self destruction. There are a lot of problems with the way things are being done these days and it starts with the way children are being raised now. There is no discipline anymore which is why current and future generations will continue to loose ground till we are the United States of Canada, America and Mexico! When I was a child and I did something wrong my teacher beat my butt, then my Mom beat my butt, and then when my Dad got home the real pain started! Now kids are being punished with Time Outs and go stand in a corner. Let's get real folks the only thing a child understands is a swift kick in the behind all this time out are reward stuff is a load of crap! Our country was built on the backs of strong men who knew how to discipline their offspring lets grow some balls and take back our country!
I agree the internet being slow isn't the users fault. My ISP not only provides me with service at the advertised speed (5.0 Mbps down) with a reasonable cost (39.95/month), but the last time my service was slow I firmly demanded that they come fix it quickly or I would find another provider. Amazingly, they had someone at my house within an hour to diagnose the problem. It turned that some time that week when my street was being worked on one of the workers chipped the casing on the line going into my house. It then rained causing water to get in the line and that is what caused the problem.
Oh by the way I live in the US so it's not just Europe that gets decent service.

The SUV Is Dethroned

If they came out with an SUV with an efficiency mode that let you run it on 4 cylinders when driving around town and 8 when you're hauling the boat out of the lake then I'd go buy one right now.
Doing this study on hospital patients would not work, because in order to be accurate the study would need to be done on a healthy human subject. Otherwise they would have to distinguish between the effects of the illness and those caused by the lack of muscle use.
Regardless of the mans actions he was right about what is happening. Kind of like my parents used to say. Do as I say not as I do. Regardless of whether I wanted to see it or not they were always right. These principles apply most of the time because intelligent people get that way by learning from their mistakes! Most of what this country is lacking right now is the ability to learn from its mistakes.
This comment is for all of the United States Citizens on this board who are pissing and moaning about this, and then saying someone should do something about it. Guess what. You are someone and maybe you should do something about it. That is the problem in our country today! Everyone thinks that someone (not them) should do something about the problems in this country, but nothing is ever going to get done unless we all unite together and take our country back, period. We have let crooked politicians and the crooked corporations that own the crooked politicians control our country for far too long. I myself am afraid that there is no more fight left in our country. All of the truly great minds have long passed and those that do remain have been corrupted by the system. If you say that I am wrong then quit pissing and moaning and do something about it instead of waiting around for someone else to take action! Here is another question. If we are so intelligent then why didn't we listen to Abraham Lincoln? He predicted that if our country continued down the path it was on that what is going on right now would happen.
Actually, this is not the same old story for one simple reason, because back then there was not a way to instantly distribute the copy of album X, that you just made, to millions of people. In order to distribute a copy of album X to millions of people back in the day we would have had to make millions of copies. Which in turn would most likely have destroyed to original copy because the medium was not as durable as ogg\mp3\mp4\mpg\whatever is.
"The reasons? 'Apple has Microsoft Office, Linux doesn't; Apple has Adobe Creative Suite, Linux doesn't; Apple has easily accessed and easy to use service and support, Linux doesn't; Apple is driven by someone who has some understanding of end-user needs, Linux is not,' says Howard"
Hmm lets see as far as Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suites are concerned anyone ever here of crossover office by these guys
because I know that it will run MS Office and I am pretty sure it will run Creative Suite as well and if not I know it runs just plain Photo Shop. Not to mention who understands user needs more than the users?
Who are the Linux users? Hmm lets see, a good majority of the time they are the people who write the distros so that theory is all shot to he||!
there are other sites that have been doing this for quite a while (i.e. http://www.deezer.com/) and it doesn't change a thing about how the RIAA feels because without violating the user agreement you can not download only listen.

I agree just put the necessary things that you can get in within the allotted time and anything else can be added later as a update or a patch!
