BINGO! The most unstable component in most systems is the user BTW: The newest P4's dissipate just as much heat as any of the Athlon processors. Dont believe me? Look at Intel specs

FUD. I've used AMD since 99 and not had a single problem with any of my systems. What happense the most often is that in order tot totally sheap out and make the most affordable system possible, PC makers use the cheapest PSU's they can, and that is the core of the problems in a lot of case, not the processor. AMD is everyy bit as stable as Intel. Currently the P4 is the astest processor, but for price performance, AMD still wins. However, if the Athlon 64 doesnt lift the bar, my next system will be Intel.

And I am adding to it as well. Any furhter discussion on this topic in this thread will result in PRs. Take it to PM if you must continue.

Probably fits better in discussion. Carry on!

The C isnt the flagship product. That's the T/T2 How about we agree we arent going to convince each other of anything? Palm = Elegant PPC = Windows 95 I'll leave it at that.

So much for freedom of speech and expression. One more example of a neocon government perpetrating stupidity on people.

LOL! Good point. However, I use mine to keep track of all my coursework, due dates for papers, predictive grade tracking, and all of my professor's phone numbers and email addresses. Plus I play games, watch video, and listen to music while in transit to/from work and school. Plus I have a nifty winamp controller that works via bluetooth, so I can change songs while I am playing Flashpoint without having to alt tab out It's not a matter of forgetting things. It's a matter of organising things that used to end up written on little slips of paper in my pocket

If you are talking about the pad where you write/draw and it comes up on the screen, then the first one of those was actually for Palm. Tunsten T and T2, built in BT that works like that. Sadly, no CDMA BT yet, so I cant do it. If your iPaq doesnt have built in 802.11g, you need a sled. I can get 802.11g through an SD card. Tungsten C has it built in. BT can be added to the C is already in the T/T2 A non issue for me, so I've never bothered looking for it My Tungten has a voice recorder, which I use extensively. Why anyone would claim that being able to use Internet Exploder is a FEATURE, I am not sure ;) However, there are full web browsers that parse proper HTML. Java is also supported in the newer models. Tealscript, MyScript, there are a host of Palm applications that recognize handwriting, even my terrible scrawl. Documents to Go integrates seamlessly with Office. I have several spreadsheets, word docs, power point presentations, etc. In fact, depending on your versions of Pocket Excel, etc. DtG integrates better than the PPC version. Another one I am not sure on. Not really an issue to me since I sync to my desktop daily. That lets me get what video and audio files I want/need for the day. As for the work stuff, I am not sure on the programs you listed, and cant really be bothered to look them up. But Palm does emulate all of the HP calculators. And it can support those compilers (though C# I am not sure about, I dont think so) ICQ has a compatible Palm client, and there are various image editing software packages that work like PS. Yes, you have A0E for PPC and I dont. What I have that you dont: Higher resolution Larger base of free/cheap software Far simpler user interface More intuitive More stable As to Flashpoint on a PPC environment.. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D *calms himself after he stops laughing so hard* First the resolution on the iPaq is low (1/2 VGA) and secondly the xscale processor is a total dog. (My 150mhz TI OMAP Processor tests as fast in most pocket benchmarks as the 400mhz xscale). If you taqke JUST Palm, yes, it's 30%. But if you add everything up, Sony, Handspring, and all the other manufacturers, Palm still approaches 70% market share. Because it is a superior OS. Microsoft makes the mistake of assuming that an extension of a PC is what people want in a handheld. That is erroneous thinking. If one wants a PC extension, get a notebook. Then you are not sacrificing usability and simplicity by trying to cram Windows into a device it's patently not suitable for. I respect your decision to use iPaq. It's sort of like buying a Lada instead of a BMW

I'll ask you again Denoir: Show me one thing you can do on a PPC that I cant do on a Palm. Especially in productivity. There is a reason Palm has 70-80% market share, especially in the corporate market.

The Zire 71 or the Tungsten T2 are both good. Both of them pretty much kill anything that PPC does, unless all you want is flash without substance. Â Productivity apps work way better on Palm PPC = Windows 95 at half VGA resolution.

Yeap. It's the hottest driest summer here in over 50 years! It's starting to cloud over now, but we've had a month of 35+ degrees every day! And this is fricking Canada ;) And lots of fires. The two biggest ones were caused by morons and their cigarrette butts. Last time i heard they had spent nearly 50 million fighting those two fires! Too bad there is no wayt to collect from fuckwit smokers who cant dispose of their garbage in a safe manner. I had one guy tell me he refuses to use his ashtray in his car, because it makes the car smelly and dirty... and instead he flicks his cigarette butts out the window!

I think the Peter Cottontail one has been posted before. And while I certainly wouldnt let my 7 year old son read it, it isnt all that offensive.

How soon they forget! Most of the development for Halo was done on the PC before the Xbox even existed. Then Bill of Borg bought up Bungie and had it made an Xbox title, to give people a reason to buy Xbox. I doubt it will take a lot of work to finish it for the PC ;)

OMG. that is just obscene! Bush was AWOL for a year from his ANG unit, and now he's POTUS, and an action figure. Â It is a travesty! Â Â What a way to degrade all those real warriors in the Navy, Amy, Air Force, and Marines. Â If you are into fictional hero figures, instead of Dubya (who is only a legend in his own mind), get this one: Sgt Rock

DEMO??? When? Where? How?

For some levels of security clearance, I would expect that amount of thoroughness in the background checks. After all, if you cant find teachers that remember him, how do you know he is who he says he is? And if you are trying to get a high security clearance, you should expect to have the Feds climb into every aspect of your life, no? I still remember two of my friends trying to join the USMC after seeing Full Metal Jacket back in the day. They were ready to catch a bus to Bellingham when we talked some sense into them

LOL! Well, I dont have that problem. I've been tearing things apart (and putting them back together in working order) since I was a little kid. For cool factor, I dont think the G36c can be beat. But there is also a LOT of add-ons for the TM M4. It's just such a nightmare. I am hoping that getting to hold a few and maybe even test firing them will help me decide. Can you PM me links for some of the better forums you've read? I am too lazy to search and wade through all the shite

Watch out what you say Warin ! Or you'll be next in the evil empire list, and your country we'll be bombed based on secret report that you and your neighborhood detain WMD... Then the secret police will come, and it will get really nasty! "What is this cannister of oil for? And this razor, I'm sure it's to hijack an airplane! You didn't vote Republican, did you?" Most of all, I dont want anyone to think I condone use of weapons like napalm, or a Mk 77, whatever you wish to call your sticky fiery bomb of nastiness. But perhaps I am more pragmatic in my belief that war is as much psychological as it is physical. So while a weapon may be morally indefensible (and yeah, I think setting someone on fire is more morally indefensible than blowing them to hell with HE or perforating them with bullets and or fragmentation devices), it's usage in wartime is at least understandable. After, War isnt nice! And to expect it to be is a little on the naive side.

And? War is hell. I think Bush is a war criminal already (illegal war of aggression), I dont need to get all angsty that they used weapons like this. Fire bombing is pretty nasty but it's not against the 'rules'. War isnt nice. Wasnt that Dubya's mom?

I'm looking at the TM G36C or the CA M4 carbine. Â I am hoping the shop has a way to try them out before purchase, so I can get a feel for them and make my decision from there. Plus they have a shop that sells all the clothes and other gear that I'll need, so I should come back from vacation in October fully set up to play Airsoft. w00t

Non fiction, but try Anthony Beevor's The Fall of Berlin It's a pretty interesting look at the end of WWII in the ETO.

AR = Armalite Edit: The guys who employed Eugene Stoner, who developed the AR-10 and 15. The designs were then sold to COlt who developed the M-16A1.

Ack! Someone in the community should offer to take over maintaining the thing. Ubi shoul if no one else will! This is a bloody shame!

Emm, that accesory actually came out for the Palm units first. The pad thing Plus there is the GPS add-on for Palm as well You dont ignore 70% market share
