    Mobile vs. Desktop gaming in their latest article entitled [1]"New Age     Computer Gaming - Mobile vs. Desktop Investigation". The article     compares a Dell Inspiron 8200 with ATI Mobility 9000 graphics to a     standard desktop system with nVidia GeForce4 Ti4200 graphics. Can     notebook gaming really be taken seriously? We think so, and so should     you!"

Review of the New Shuttle XPC Chassis

    DigiKid writes "Mini PCs are all the rage these days it seems,     especially for the LAN Gamers in our midst. [0]Shuttle Computer has     been releasing new additions to their line of XPCs, that have the     latest features, like USB 2.0, Firewire, and even support for Intel's     Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading. [1] This review takes you on a tour of     the newest XPC from Shuttle, based on the i845GE chipset. The     benchmarks don't lie and this tiny little cube PC holds its own versus     a full sized rig." Last week I put together a 51g from them and was     very impressed at how well it works and how quiet it is. Links

Cnet had some [2]information on the     processor also . I just ordered a tablet to play with, though I ordered     the Fujitsu which has a P3m (the Compaq has a bad screen according to     the reviews).

    regulators from enforcing new privacy rules that would prohibit     telephone companies from using or sharing details about customers'     calling habits without permission.

It would use that data to sell new products and     services to customers." "We believe we have certain rights as a     corporation to use this information," Verizon's PR person says. Great. Links

First Emergency Use of Whole-Aircraft Parachute http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/22/1936230

[0]Ahotasu writes "Over at [1]SpaceFlightNow, there is a short NASA
[2]news release discussing the development of and first emergency use
    of a production parachute system for a general aviation aircraft.     Whole-ultralight parachute systems have been available and used for     some time, but this is apparently the first use in a "certified     general-aviation aircraft". From the article: "In October 2002, a pilot     released his single engine aircraft's parachute and landed safely in a     Texas mesquite- tree grove. The pilot was uninjured, and there was     minimal damage to the plane. The safe landing made aviation history, as     it was the first emergency application of an airframe parachute on a     certified aircraft." Here's the [3]company's website. Looks like right     now, they only have models for a select few gen. aviation aircraft,     probably the most popular models."

Using PDAs for Dictation?

  1. My preference is 'discrete' speech because of very low resource consumption and its effectively infinite flexibility. Over the years, my computer use has de-evolved to programming, FTP, email (Mozilla), word processing (OpenOffice) and Ricochet. Drop the game and there's nothing that I shouldn't be allowed to do on the go. The problem is that I can't. Back in 1990, the requirements for IBM VoiceType were: DOS, 8MB RAM, 10MB of drive space with one of those new-fangled scorching 386-16MHz processors... not exactly demanding by today's standards and, unless I'm outright wrong, not demanding by today's PDA standards.
