No joke, See here: http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/showpost.php?s=49a5273d84c63b82e5a1c76662b85940&p=300859&postcount=4
I actually have a Wacom tablet and to be honest the optional TabletPC functions in Vista are not needed to use the Wacom. The driver and everything else still works fine. I can still use my pens in Photoshop and Zbrush and on the desktop. You just lose all the handwriting recognition, Penflicks that kind of (IMO Useless anyway) stuff.

the 7135 was around before I took the job I'm in now, and yes I have to agree that (to an extent) was an awesome phone for a Kyocera unit. But even when I got to play with with it I got this nagging feeling that it could be done better by a different company. It was I admit ahead of its time tho, it was around long before RIM's Crackberry and the like.

Kyocera make shit phones, period.... This will be just as shit as the rest of their lineup. I have been repairing Cellphones for 4 years now and EVERY Kyocera phone I see is utter garbage.. The OS they use is crap. The Signal/RF capabilities of the phones is crap. The issues they produce are equally baffling. Internal memory gets corrupted and you cant even set a normal ring tone shit like that.

When a REAL cellphone manufacturer starts to make one I'll be interested, as it stands if it's made by Kyocera I wouldnt even use it to wipe a cows ass.

That previous post is undoubtedly the truth. I can agree on it 100% on all your bullet points.

And yet across the gulf of Slashdot, minds immeasurably superior to ours will regard this post with envious eyes and slowly but surly will draw their plans against it.

I'm sure the post will be modded down by the slavering hordes who cant even see past their own noses.

That said, well done on a well written post my man... well done.

You didn't even HAVE to delete the library files. They were all stored in one folder in the OS. You could keep them there if you wanted. My point was (that you obviously missed) is that there is no damn huge database file that holds your OS together. the only way you could break the OS was to do the same as highlighting all you folders in Windows and pressing delete. You only have to sneeze at the registry and that it!!. Do not pass go, do not collect $200

Yes it did. The ST had its music market, and the Amiga had the Video/Graphics market. Both machines had their uses, but notice how no-one said that TOS was terrible and started a small flame war. That was the difference between ST and Amiga owners. One were snotty "cry foul" users the others were not and knew better...

Erm.. Lightwave from Newtek. That used to be an Amiga Exclusive and still is a Killer app for it. Chances are if you watch any TV in the early 90's you probably saw an Amgia Videotoaster with Lightwave sequence. Babylon5, Seaquest DSV, The Chart Show.

And lets not forget such gems as Brilliance (which was FAR batter than Dpaint IMO).
Plus the Amiga OS was:-
1) user friendly from day one
2) had a VERY small footprint
3) TRUE multitasking (and still is)
4) No damn Registry or hoping that when you uninstalled an app that it removed everything. Delete the folder and a few library files and that was it.. Done.
My advice is use the OS and then comment, you obviously didn't (or was an old foaming at the mouth ST owner. In its heyday the Amiga OS had Apple on its knees in regards to functionality.

I posted the same link - Now my post is going tot be marked redundant... Doh... The only time that becomes a pain is when you try setting up something like a Wii to it. The only sure fire way is to print it, and get someone to read it character by character and input it into the Wii... Once its in though, you are golden..

Or just generate one from here: https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm - I have the same password I generated for around 2 years now, no-one has hacked into it (WPA) and I have it on my Pen Drive as a text file if another computer wants to connect to the wireless, I have to physically set it up so it can get on... Really simple.

Lets see... You can get a 7.6gb Torrent in around 2-3 days from a so called 0-day release...

With Usenet you get the same release within hours.. Anyone who is serious into pirating NOT using usenet isnt a pirate. Check out NFOHump's forums... nearly every one on there downloads using usenet. I think you need to re-check your facts my friend..
