Nope, you can't get any email. Trust me, I have one next to me (and I'm certainly not an enterprise user, just standard BIS plan with my GMail and University email accounts) and was affected by this outage - web browsing, BBM, WhatsApp, _all_ email accounts, Facebook and Twitter were not working. There is a way to make the browser use the network directly, but it does not do so automatically.
Except, you can't get email. That's kinda a big point for a smartphone. Not to mention that some applications (like WhatsApp) are hard coded to use BIS, even if you're connected to WiFi or have a normal data plan.
On the N900, you don't even need to install Debian. Want to play around? Install the root enabler from the stock application manager, open up the terminal (which is standard) and type in "root". Bam, you have root on a _proper_ GNU/Linux device that you can carry around in your pocket. libc? check.
Not to mention, you can easily run a Debian chroot, should you want, or boot into Android.
Indeed it is mostly urban conditions. On the highway its around 6L/100km, and if I drive like a man possessed, it averages out to 14L/100km.
I've found however that the quoted specs from the manufacturer tend to be very much on the low side.
Sort of. Speedstep actually changes the frequency / voltage of the processor, whereas normal CPU throttling just limits the amount of processing power available.
Really? I always thought that going to a lower voltage mode was much more effective than C1/C2/C3. That's why SpeedSted is used, against normal CPU throttling.
True, but if a file were actually open, the deletion would have no effect. As a neat trick, you can be downloading a file, say, using wget. Then move the file that's being downloaded, or even delete it. The download will continue as if nothing happened. Reason being that on *nix systems, a file descriptor is used, and as long as that is open, the file isn't really deleted. It's even possible to recover deleted files that are open this way.
And undelete depends on the underlying filesystem, journaling, etc.
Depends where you are.
I found myself a nice VPS on the US east coast for $7 a month with unmetered bandwidth. I manage to get 150KB/s to it from South Africa, combining this with FoxyProxy allows me to watch YouTube videos and the like faster than through my normal connection.
How exactly do you define something that looks encrypted? As mentioned before good encryption should be indistinguishable from random data, so are they going to block all data that looks random? Heck, how do you define 'looks random'?
That's right, I guess they're just going to mandate that the millions of computers that don't have TPM on disappear. Oh, and it's not technologically impossible to bypass either. It may be very difficult, but when it comes down to it, you still have the keys.
Why not whip up some code that will wait for you to send an email to it containing some sort of pass code and a URL, then it fetches the page and all images, lzma and yEncs it, and then emails it back to you. It may not work so nicely with complicated sites, but for things like Wikipedia it would work great. I'm willing to bet however, that with enough effort you could write a fully fledged proxy. Latency may be really crap, but it would be undeniably cool.
Also, have a look at programs such as http://code.kryo.se/iodine that allow you to run IPv4 over DNS.
I think it has something to do with the way different BIOSes handle USB booting. A laptop of mine couldn't boot any earlier version via USB, whereas my normal PC could.

It's simple. If you're in College, you should know how to manage your time and activities, and shouldn't need to be policed.
No way to fix them? Except maybe upgrading the kernel. Which you can compile and flash on the phone itself, should you desire.

Are you referring to diesel consumption? My car, with a small 1.4l petrol turbo engine, gets ~9 L/100km.

I know right? Personally, I hate it when I press a button on my Nokia N900 and it takes 583.2pi*c^2 seconds to respond.
Name a phone that supports EAS over HTTPS but not IMAP/TLS.
Ogg isn't a codec. Theora is the codec here... Ogg is merely a container format, designed to be used with Theora as video and Vorbis as audio.
So, just tunnel SSH over SSL, and buy yourself a proper certificate.
Why set it up as adhoc? If you have a decent card you can put it into master mode and broadcast like an AP.

Because MAC addresses are impossible to change, right? Right?

I thought sotftupdates only had issues on NetBSD.
