  1. Re:yes, and the Sony C1V PictureBook as well on A Look Back At the World's First Netbook · · Score: 1

    I used to have the same machine. Battery life was poor barely 2 hours on the regular battery(of course unless you turn the brightness way down). The Crusoe CPU is SLOW. High cool factor and I remember I sold it on Ebay for almost 80% of the purchase price after almost 2 years of use.

  2. Re:Reliability more important on Dyson Preparing a Roomba Killer? · · Score: 2, Informative

    May I ask what are the prices?

  3. Remind me of a story on Slobs Found To Be More Productive Than Neatniks · · Score: 1

    From AI Koan...

    "In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.

    "What are you doing?", asked Minsky.

    "I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe" Sussman replied.

    "Why is the net wired randomly?", asked Minsky.

    "I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play", Sussman said.

    Minsky then shut his eyes.

    "Why do you close your eyes?", Sussman asked his teacher.

    "So that the room will be empty."

    At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

    IP blocks are assigned to different regions and you can look it up. You can even do it for free using some online locator Tool.

    Where can I find that anecdote? Google didn't have anything useful.

  7. Re:BS. on Transmeta Closing Up Shop · · Score: 1

    My experience is more like 2-3 hours on the p series with the standard battery. We tested it by watching DVD and it can barely last for ONE movie. After a year or 2 of use the battery dropped to about 1.5 hours. We have purchased about 5 - 6 of those and I have never seen those numbers.

  8. One more thing about the keyboard on Handtop Roundup · · Score: 1

    They come with an eraser head type mouse, which makes the keyboard pretty usable even with its small size.

  9. Re:Best way on Improving Your Mental Math Skills? · · Score: 1

    For multiplying any 2 numbers under 20,
    you can go like:
    1. 13*16 = (13+6)*10 + (3*6) = 208.
    2. 19*19 = (19+9)*10 + (9*9) = 361.

  10. Re:I've had no luck with Flash Media on Might Flash Memory be a Viable Backup Medium? · · Score: 2, Informative

    On Windows machines you have to "eject"(stop the device totally sometimes to get the files copied to the device. I have experienced similar problems and a clean stop before removal will do the trick.

  11. No way on New Transmeta Chip: "Efficeon" · · Score: 1

    I have used quite a few sub-notebooks(Sony, Toshiba, Fuhitsu) with Crusoe chips(they are found only on sub-notebooks) and not one of the notebooks even get battery life of slightly more than 2 hours. I would really like to know what model of laptop you are talking about.

  12. Fujitsu quality on Apple-Quality Intel Laptops? · · Score: 1

    I cannot say the same. The paint job is not quite up to the standard of Sony's. They frquently chip off and I have seen that on a few Fujitsu notebooks.

  13. Not likely on Mac vs. PC Digital Photography Comparison · · Score: 2, Informative

    I owned a Libretto L2 and the battery life is about 2 hrs max. Using any power saving mode will make quite un-usable.
