Second post... is that the same Contiki OS that started out as a hobby project to develop a multitasking OS for the Commodore 64?

Interestingly enough (to me, at least), I happen to be reading a Korean paper on the ubiquitous computing / wireless networks right now.

What I find interesting is that the concept has received government support and direction as part of a push to develop the "U-Society" (which I suppose is mean to be an abbreviation for "ubiquitous computing society"). In Korea, this is governmental industrial policy with the goal of making Korean industry a leader in producing "ubiquitously networked" products of all kinds. On the other hand, here in the United States, it seems like more of an matter of academic study and, perhaps, seen as a possible cost-saving (as opposed to profit-producing) technology.

Oh well, I guess FedEx and UPS don't mind buying all of their IP-enabled supplies from LG & Samsung if it saves them a few pennies.

WOOOOO! Impressive!

eh, not really...
What can Oracle offer with the "T5" that isn't offered better, faster, and/or cheaper on Xeon or Power?

Oh yeah, I forgot, Oracle can offer "register windows"... Wheeee!

Reservoirs are associated with earthquakes too.

The German Juggernaut strikes again!

Yes, but concurrent with the release of the iPad Mini, Apple will be releasing the $99 iFile fingertip filer accessory so that eager users will be able to use the smaller screen more accurately. For $100 extra, the iFile Pro will include a bluetooth interface and 500MB extra RAM.

Where's my ~14" A4/Letter sized tablet? Give me a full sized page of text please.

Well I, for one, think it's a pretty big deal.
After all, it's not every day that Apple releases a new product, especially one with amazing, unheard-of new features like a smaller screen and more pocket-friendly dimensions.
Apple's best in class innovation wins the day yet again!

Do you hate your job? Are you only still there because you're waiting to vest? I feel your pain, brother. The only thing that kept me from leaving Netscape in 1997 and walking away from a dumptruck full of cash in frustration was this script. I ran this every morning for at least a year: it prints out the following motivational message:

Today's NSCP price is $__._; your total unsold shares are worth $____. You are __._% vested, for a total of ____ vested unsold shares ($____). But if you quit today, you will walk away from $____.
Hang in there, little trooper! Only _ years __ months __ days to go!

It's amazing how this script can put it all back into perspective and keep you from going postal and strangling someone. Fill in your numbers, and let it remind you not to do something you'll regret later.

Or you could just wait until delivery date, cough up the dough, take delivery of the gold and stack it around your living room for your friends to see.

Interestingly enough, it works great on the females in the clubs.

On the contrary, I know how to trade, but most other people don't.
Like I said... *CHA-CHING!*

Just disassemble the bootloader starting at breakpoint 0x10C08000 and look for the argument to CLD R0.
Once you've found that, you only have to patch the configuration file with the new value and reassemble the kernel userspace.
Then just flash the ROM with the resulting srecord file and you're good to go.
Anyone can do it.
