One thing no one said anything about is the "facebook" compatibility. If they restrain electronics inside why the hell would a millionaire's daughter take such a trip... If she can't upload pictures to Facebook, that's not fun for her!
If they seek for complete success, they need to enable wireless on board so people can tweet their pics at real time and even stream video to their loved (less wealthier) ones.
It ever occurred to you that facebook has complete control of/access to your facebook account?
(Yeah.. I also feel like killing someone when I see those "John Cusak found a black sheep on his farm")
If you are really concerned about the data at your account why putting it on facebook at the first place.. the problem with paranoia these days is that some people are still shy about their data... internet is here fellas... privacy is something from last century when REAL farm people could "do it" behind the barn for years without no one knowing it..
I also have those apps and feel in some way like you but not bc they could get my data, I hate them because they are fucking stupid!
Seems to me that farmville success is only due to "Idle" people wanting to be in facebook all the time (to check that new photo their ex has shared).. they keep playing just as killing time...
Fun thing is: the personal computer could be described exactly in that way some twenty years ago.
What we should expect is that every happy geek realizes their responsibility (woa) in making software/proving that the n900 platform is better than any other.
The n900/Maemo is the chance cool people (e.g. geeks) have to prove their point with support from a major player in the cell phone market. In some way (since it is all this "open"/"free"), if the n900 fails, the open source community/cool people/geeks are also failing.
The article is right about it's historical background and all but lacks some optimism... hehe
just a matter of time!! the thing is that the video industry is still droolling on the "better quality" mith (mith which the music ind can't use anymore)
as soon as people stop noting the diference between "gold"-ray and whatever they are downloading, it's...done! lol
but what really surprises me is that the fatty elephant slashdot website works on the n900
Perfect! Qwghlmian wins the prize!
And since TFA is totally rubbish, why not just take as an axiom that the Voynich Manuscript was first spotted at Inner Qwghlm...
or well.. we can do just as "they" did.. come up with something new..
This is NOT funny in many ways..
I used to amaze people around me with the story of the never solved, very old, famous manuscript. I was really happy living with this "mistery"...
now what.. I'll have to go back talking about the origin of "guy"/Fawkes again?
no... I'll skip this solution and continue with the Voynich!
OTOH, 2,200 consoles are really not a big issue for Sony and this really goes off as a GOOD publicity campaign!
Like those kids discussing at the school:
Harold: "My console is better than yours coz cheaters/modders can't play live!!"
Kumar: "No! mine is better!! It is so much more powerful that the air force is using fields of those to kill the 'bad' guys!!"
There is no "REAL" anonymous vote since the sums of votes in a voting station is publicly available...
You bribe half city; then check (on the publicly available channels) how many votes you got there... if you got less than expected... someone cheated and you "don't pay".
If your idea is not to bribe a huge amount of persons we don't care.
Bribe is another problem.. and can't really be solved by the voting machine itself.
Ok.. this is been around for a while and in fact could even work for paper voting...
I'm sure someone could use strategically disposed microphones to detect the position of the "X" on the paper..
Until someone starts changing the results of elections (which will always be possible given "the right" flapping of a butterfly's wings) I won't be bothered. If your country really is free (something that Brazil is good at) there is no problem telling everybody who you voted on..
Vote's anonymity only makes it easier to fake elections.
In that case, naming programming languages by UUID (as suggested by the fella up there) would push queries for programming information performance wayyy up!
After all, programmers always use ctrl-c & ctrl-c (or [Esc] W / [Ctrl-Y] if u prefer)!
We should just send containers full of bacterias and wild things there... and see what grows..
In fact I think we should send bacteria-filled pods to as many planets/asteroids we can afford to.. this should be cheap.. Populate the whole thing..
Rather than maintaining the question "is there life out there?" we should just force the most pleasant answer:
"Yes.. and we did it!"
All this "we found water out there" news along with those "NASA budget cuts" and the "no space minning so soon" ones suggests me that we (cool people that would love to see another space race) should secretly start a worldwide campaing to render unusable all water here..
(Or maybe someone already started..)
Edukators... anyone...?
Also, one could query insurance companies for diferences in life insurance prices for people living in these areas. I bet they KNOW what they're doing! =]

*hate those apps! (let the typo and lack of reading preview take place)

If YOU are not happy with YOUR social life, don't bring it on here and say that we are all like that. because we are NOT!
Get a life!

Combine this with the predator and we are soo.... soo.. **

Mod parent as "funny" for its ironical "fanboism" of Chrome and thus leaving Maemo/n900 out.
That is a damn lonely and fat cat!
That's why no one hacked the electronic voting system!! The good guys were busy having fun sql-injecting stuff in some "bigger" system..
In that case, naming programming languages by UUID (as suggested by the fella up there) would push queries for programming information performance wayyy up!

F.A.Q. zero:
Does it work on linux?
And a x6 bonus on price!
That's the big honking problem; :)
They're taking over the world (Internet & TI) and we are all happy with it!

One world: pr0n!
Fun thing is... these links broadcasting show the following string on the bottom on "Windows Media Player": "NASA Space Shuttle Launch"
