I actually love Opera's feeder. Clean, simple, not beholden to web services like Google. Of course, this comes with its own set of problems:
1) Requires installing another browser and a proprietary one at that
2) Opera's mail client is utter shit (hence the reason I use Thunderbird for my E-mail or I'd just use Opera and have a one-stop.
3) Opera tends to have good releases then buggy ones. Stick to the odd point releases.(12.11, 12.13, etc. 12.14 has issues with certain pages hanging again).
The big issue I have with Cyanogenmod is the fact that it can be very difficult to do right and you risk bricking the phone by doing it.
My wife has a LG Optimus 3D (LG Thrill 4G for those of you stateside) and the last update she received upgraded her from 2.2 to 2.3.5, which was a brutal abortion of a release. Bugs everywhere and eats battery life to beat hell. After researching it throughly I decided against doing anything to it because I had to root it, then make sure I had a kosher set of files and upgrades on it first, then install CM. Frankly, she lives on the thing and if I screw it up I'm dead.
Don't get me wrong, I think the people behind CM are brilliant and I have nothing but kudos for them, however the lack of a good installer stops me from taking the plunge.
While a lot of people seem to be negative on this project, I think it's pretty damn cool and gives us an idea of what could be. We would need to terraform certainly, and quite possibly restart the core, but why not wonder?
Who knows? Our grandkids could be vacationing on Arsia Mons.
My parents also had a floor model from the 70s which survived somewhere around 20 years (lasted until 93 or 94 I think). It saw everything from VCRs to C64s to Nintendos. Damn thing weighed a ton too - hauling it up the stairs from the basement when it finally died was hell.
Hand tools are a pretty mature technology - hence old equipment can still be very useful. Electronic technology is very new, hence very little is stable.
I have no idea - but can I get them to print me a new screen for my Galaxy S2? It had an unfortunate meeting with a cement floor yesterday and the LCD is toast (but the glass is still mint!). Hopefully I can get it replaced on the relatively cheap but still...
I agree (somewhat). I use XP on a Duo Core HP at work and it is pretty responsive however I attribute that to the horsepower under the hood rather than how light the body is. You can make a '57 Cadillac run the quarter mile in 10 seconds but it doesn't mean it's the same weight as a Civic. I have used XP on older hardware (circa 2008) and it's touch and go at times. Pre-2005? Forget it.
Another point is the upgrading portion. We are in the process of migrating to a new MRP system and our old system is the one which has required us to use XP (or virtualize XP on the new Win7 machines). It eventually will happen that staying costs more than moving forward. My only thought is how long will it be until the OS doesn't matter?

Almost two years after the last time I logged in and this *STILL* isn't dead?!?
No common tongue support? Fail.
That said, as with most things in North Korea, we may never know the real answer

I'm here for the Blackjack, Hookers & Blow.
Obama going on international television and riffing on Monty Python? That would be awesome.
In a small area, yes. Spread over the entire country, no chance in hell.
This should be labeled 'Insightful'.
*THIS* alone makes me re-think changing over to Lubuntu on my desktop. Thank F'ing God.

You need more modpoints.
Well, my first post was just for Winnipeg, but if we're going all in:
Hottest: 44.4 C
Coldest: 52.8 C
Difference (C): 97.2C or 206.96F

I will see your Minnesota and raise you a Manitoba.
Difference of 162F
Sounded like mine! Lasted forever, mid 70s, switcher sucked, and we never bought an American TV or VCR or anything afterwards.
Call it a lucky guess!
That might be the most insightful thing I've read today.
I smell Zenith.

Dude, you need a better hobby.

LXDE was dropped by whom? Mint or Ubuntu?

So after I get my new laptop this weekend I'll throw on 12.04, wait for the massive wave of updates to abate and then upgrade. I can handle that!
BTW, I'm running Peppermint 3.
