(Dec 12 2003 00:39 GMT) - The shock-horror on Iraqi reconstruction is - or should be - fooling no oneNow, the most cursory glance at the archives here for the first few months of the year will show a distinct lack of diffidence when it comes to Bush-bashing. When justified.So it's not exactly a starry-eyed neocon adulator of 43 who is saying that the furore over the exclusion of France, Germany and Russia from prime contracting opportunities in Iraq is plain dumb. Beyond the accepted margin of political hyperbole. It's just sad. |

How to make your PDA really work for you</a (Dec 12 2003 00:38 GMT) - PDAs have the potential to become excellent tools after you fix them. PDAs, and more specifically Pocket PC, seem to be designed for sales and marketing people. You can add contacts, tasks, and check your calendar with the default out-of-the-box setup. Few of these activities are direly important to a network administrator, a programmer, or even a hacker which makes these devices mostly useless for anyone who works in computers. However, they are still computers, and there is a growing number of programs being written and ported to handheld devices which will make them useful to -- imagine this -- computer users. |
