Agree, the D600s are an awesome machine. They look a bit plasticy on the outside, but the screen back and internal frame is solid magnesium. They also have some nice touches, like an internal rechargeable battery that lets you sleep the machine, swap the main battery, then resume from sleep and keep on working. Great if you don't have access to AC power, you can swap out the main battery in about 10 seconds and keep on working. They also overclock well (1.6ghz to 2.13ghz) if you are able to solder on a tiny surface mount resistor, the speed jump makes them quite snappy.

I'm not sure how the nexus one is "showing its age", its specs are on par with the iphone.

Unfortunately workers are often "forced to" stay at work as the employers withhold salaries to ensure the workers stick around. The workers poor education and government corruption mean there is not much the workers can do about it. There was a very well done documentary about a young girl working in a jeans factory in China which showed the terrible working and living conditions, I wish I could recall the name of it.

I was thinking the same thing, however a poster above indicates you can press the brake and accelerator together for up to 1.5 seconds. If it takes you longer than that to heal & toe, you probably shouldn't be doing it ;) "3) Updated the firmware. After the update, I did a test where I got the car going 30Mph, and then pressed and held the accelerator. While the accelerator was depressed, I applied the brake with my left foot. After about 1.5 seconds, the engine RPM went down to idle speed. I repeated this test 2 more times. Same result each time."

For Solaris you need to ensure "logging" is enabled in the vfstab for each ufs filesystem. Once this is set the box won't sit there in single usermode after an unscheduled powerdown, it should fsck without any issues.

Actually PIM apps were the only thing that kept me on windows mobile for a long time. I haven't seen anything in the same league as Pocket Informant on any other platform.

Interestingly I have a dell D600 laptop where you can put it in standby and swap the battery and it doesnt loose its memory contents (no AC connected). I'm not sure if its a feature, or the RAM just happens to retain its contents for the 5 seconds or so it takes to swap the battery.

ATM is a rather nasty porn term, so maybe its best to put machine after it to avoid confusion

Nope, although poorly built Australian holdens and fords often have speed limiters to stop them vibrating apart at high speed ;)
