jared,

you may reply to me privately, as my original and this post include both my email address and my band's website which is about 90% blog and 10% band.

#3, A lot of these people aren't yuppies going out to flaunt their equipment. In fact, considering this is the Bay Area, many of them are programmers for some top tech firms.

The guy with the knife doesn't know what kind of file system you have and he doesn't care. All he sees street value.

As for situational awareness, if somebody were to lean over you in any setting, your first instinct would be to be ready to answer whatever it is they are going to say to you. I think the odds against being randomly stabbed are sufficiently low enough where you may not expect it. Also if you RTFA, you'll see that the guy actually did have situational awareness and did notice that somebody was fidgeting with his power cable which is why he got up and subsequently stabbed.

Even if he didn't notice what was going on around him, big deal. People are working so hard nowadays that it feels good to feel like part of society every once in a while. So the guy chooses to get some work done at the coffee shop. When you're focused on working on something real heavily (say, perhaps, your jackassed post) your awareness would be diminished. You wouldn't get too much done if you stopped to check out every person who walked in.

Don't come on here just to be a dick. Some guy got stabbed in the chest, had a collapsed lung and had his chest cavity fill with blood. Luckily he didn't die. Why would you put your thumbs in your ears and wave your fingers at him like that?

There's more ways to use the internet than web browsing. Above solutions can't host banners if the browser's not open. I think we might see some kind of connection app a la old school Net Zero. Curious to see how all this falls into place. Do they have an estimated time for completion?

japan and US use the same power adapters. I have one of each (imported a white original DS) and they are exactly the same and interchangeable between my us and japan ds.

Looks like Relax Bear to me. He's on everything in Japan.

As previously suggested, Calcium, FExplorer, and Autolock are my top 3 add-ons.

After that I would have to recommend Opera for web browsing, assuming you have a reason to pay $20/mo. for a data plan.

The one I am surprised nobody mentioned is EEMame. Mame on a cellphone is a feat and fun for a bit at the airport. The joystick is a little difficult on the Nokia 6620 though.

Also check out S60Zip. Freeware zip application.

So a priest, a rabbi, and a geocacher walk into a bar...
