The handspring VisorPhone does. It was an add-on card that cheaply added a phone to HandSpring-produced PalmOS PDAs. It was my first pdaphone.
The VisorPhone originally cost more than a cellphone. Thanks for proving my point.
I could sort of understand if one of those GamerGate "Men's Rights Activists" dudes were claiming that most government leaders and CEOs were women.
But that's not what happened here.
But why on Earth would a woman make such a bizarre claim?
That's not what happened here.
Have you been living under a rock?
Are you a rock?
So you are calling the above poster a liar? Nice.
Name and shame or you're a liar making shit up to make yourself seem more important. Put up or shut up is the name of the game, otherwise it's just FUD. Vague pronouncements might serve in government, but they don't suit here on Slashdot.
Yeah, that *shrug* is how we got where we are now with our government in general. No justice available from the justice system? *shrug*
Since "scientific evidence" is very persuasive to jurors, they'll be granting new trials to the ones they haven't killed yet.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAI crack me up!
Actually, no.
In the most extreme cases of improvisation, people have used rocks with a crystalline structure or a razor blade, a pencil, and a safety pin as a detector connected to headphones.
I was under the impression there isn't much use of AM radio in Norway.
In practice, it's a bit worse for digital. The decoders seem to lose sync easily and just go black for a bit where the analog would have given a couple frames of static and then a watchable image. If it happens frequently enough, you get a black screen and silence from digital where you would get a staticy but watchable picture on analog.
Multipath on a digital signal is a serious issue where on analog, you will actually stop noticing the ghosts after a few minutes.
On the old analog NTSC, the audio was on a subcarrier such that even if the video was an unwatchable mess, you might get decentish audio because of it's minimal demands on signal. Alas, in digital TV, it's all packets in the same stream and the decoder either can't or won't bother decodingh the audio if the video is lost. That's a real problem since is the video is disrupted, you can often follow a story OK, but when the dialog keeps going away you quickly get lost. Same problem if you're trying to get important weather information.
To top it off, as you say, they snuck the power down when the transition happened.
Further, analog radios can consume next to no power (in some cases, actually no power) and continue to work to some degree even when the batteries are practically dead. That can make a big difference in an emergency.
I have two or three extras they were giving away at a trade show.
His remains were already exhumed, burnt to ash, and the ashes thrown down the Elbe by the KGB, personally I think they should have been glassified in porcelain and placed in a toilet in the main synagog in Berlin so that the jews could piss on him for the rest of eternity, but I like symbolism like that =)
It *SHOULD NOT* be less that 192kbps, but is it?
...but if that acronym has also been used by Beiber lately I am SOL.
What does the Skilled Occupation List have to do with this?
You're assuming the goal of listening radio is simply to understand. For most people it most definitely isn't. There's nothing more fatiguing than trying to understand content through static in the background.
Yeah, there's nothing worse than when the radio reception is poor while you're digging ditches.
But it has only been a relative few years that smartphones have had screens bigger than about 3.5"
Yeah, you know why? Because they didn't have the horsepower to drive the resolution that users expected from a display at larger sizes. It's only recently that the hardware has become efficient enough to actually provide a larger display with the features users expect.
They could have simply added a phone and left everything else alone.
What makes you so sure that they could have done that in the same package and still got it out of the door for a price that anyone would pay?
And why would that be?
Not everyone is wired the same way, and some of the greatest contributors to science did it out of curiosity rather than goodwill.
Personally, I think the H.L. Mencken quote sums it all up rather well.
All seems condemned in the long run to approximate a state akin to Gaussian noise. -- James Martin
