But there is no escrow on kickstarter, right? (dunno about indiegogo)
I thought the point was to have the money available when making whatever stuff the crowd wants...
(Getting my Oru kayak on monday, jaaay kickstarter)
Unless I found a shitty converter.. that'd equal something like 0.44 l/10km (just the way I'm used to seeing it)
Which is very exactly what my parents' VW passat from '97 manages to do, however not quite in 80 mph, say in 80 km/h.
And that car has no start-stop-stuff, no regenerative breaks, no hybrid capabilites etcetc. Just pure old diesel.
And that is (was) a rather nice car actually, so I don't see the problem with getting that to work with current technloogy without sacrificing too much comfort.
This really made me happy to the very core of my being!
Sign me up to buy the first phone you make, no matter if none of my two N9s are dead by then.
Wonder if they take smaller, albeit non-trivial, investments... I actually wouldn't even get mad if they failed and lost "my" money. At least they would have tried to do the right thing. When they get some traction i would love to come and work for Jolla, but for now I guess they'll keep the team pretty small still.
People are resistant to change. As a software developer, I'm sick of my boss saying "we can't make things better because it'll disrupt users". Fuck that. Let's disrupt some goddamn users so we aren't stuck with Win 3.1 interfaces everywhere.
Same appearantly was the case with Ubuntu's unity.. but that time the dev-team won.:(
Bleeping mouse-centric GUI, it takes forever to get stuff done, and here i've been complaining about win 7's grouping taskbar and OSX, but that seriously takes the price.
Software evolves. The first interface is not the best. People should evolve with it.
How about not disrupting, but instead enabling users to work in new ways (as well)?
We can't all think the same you know... just because the new "flow" is better it's not for every one of us.
But what about the format?!
I for one won't carry a 17'' laptop with me... They are HUGE!
My 15'' 4:3 1400*1050px is smaller than just about any 15.4/15.6 and they mostly have 768 or 800 vertical pixels.
(That obviously means i have more pixels, BUT also a lager display area in a smaller package)
On the odd occation that you find 1440*900 that is not overly expensive... well, probably something else is wrong due to that there are like 3 of them...
So no, you are making the so-called midrange laptops up, nothing portable and somewhat affordable has 1680*1050.
What 4G in the US&A? say what? Ah, it was only a marketing thingy.. like those chinese mp5 plyers...
Afaik the only real 4G networks are in Sweden and Norway... (We are talkin some 50 Mbit downstream here)
I wonder what real 4g will be called in the us.. Epic 4G, no wait... that's taken too.
Indeed. The only use i can see for this "break-trough" is enabling your old tvs to make use of HD content, both early digital devices and of course analog ones (as this opens for more and cheaper? HDfury-like products).
Thinking of it this way.. exactly what were they prohibiting? Pirated HD seems unaffected...(?) Or had they teamed up with tv-makers to help them make shitloads of tvs obsolete perhaps?
I bet they were scared of all that analog HD out there because it's too damn easy to copy and distribute... oh wait!:O
Exaectly what came to my mind.. Too bad most americans don't know what they are missing out on though.
That it is somewhat socialistic appearently makes it bad by definition. -.-'
Well, if there are better things, include them!
Still I'd consider Abiword superior in being simple to use for a Word-person, hands down.
All of OOo is messed up and you simply cannot find where to change certain setting, as with msoffice, all you have to do is look a little.
OOo is one of the programs that give FOSS a bad name, imho.
OOo Calc ofcourse!
Haven't had time to try Gnunmeric since i mainly use windows (XP)..
Thanks for the tip anyway, i'll remember it when I eventally make the move to *nix.
Well yes.. I guess that's a way to look at it. But as I said, i sereously doubt average joe uses presenter or calc though.
And probably they should be a few clicks away then.. And as for writer vs. Abiword there is no competition.
And i didn't really object against removing Gimp, i simply meant that it shouldn't be the first to go.
Drop that bloated OpenOffice before considering dumping programs that actually do what they are supposed to..
Abiword is quite enough for the average user, that probably almost never starts presenter or that lousy excel-wannabe thingy.
Now how's that for a stripdown of crap ey?
The caller should already be paying for the traffic, IMO. And since it is more expensive in the US, that should be payed for one would hope. (At least here the caller's operator share some of the money with the recivers') Imagine not being able to be reached once you run out of money, if you pay as you in some way... I have no problem with not being able to call if you'd run out of money, that affects your posibilities to communicate.. But blocking others from calling you, and they wouldn't know when that is the case. nuh..
Okay, my wording is not perfect, but do you see where i'm getting at?
(I get billed for my calls, so it wouldn't affect me that much, but still..)
Locked phones has been around in sweden since way-back-when, but cannot get the entire market, since independent resellers make more money on selling unlocked phones, thus can they not increase prices. Operators are also forced to provide unlocking after a contract has run out for a reasonable fee.
So very true, US gov should step up a bit and protect freedoms and just not stay out of the way all the time.. or?
Probably not!
I live in Sweden, we probably second to sweden in that survey (just guessing, but quite reasonable) and a shitload of phones here are "bought" in that manner too. I would have saved mone using my swedish carriers plan in te US, sicke the operators there are f-ing robbers. There are a lot of plans that would even be illegal (classified as scams) in Sweden. I.e. cingular's pay as you go. Thta is horribly costly, and minute prices are sky-friggin-high. We're talking several multiples. Yet you pay to recieve calls?! WHAT?! -- my first, second and third reaction to that. Somethings screwed over there.
Who the heck read my mind? I was even considering mailing AMD yesterday to find out this very thing.
Now I'll get one for sure.
But anyways.. Wouldn't iyt be very neat to have a 45 nm gedode LX X4 or something along these lines...
Most beautiful creation ever i'm sure..
Put some relays on the serial port of some very stable piece of hardware to enable hard-boot the machines remotely. Some windows experience tells me you will need it...

While I too prefer the sound of a vinyl sometimes, he is full of s*it, comparing it to a 16-bit mario game. Someone should introduce him to Nyquist-Shannon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist%E2%80%93Shannon_sampling_theorem

Sp tell me... Is it bump-ass or bum-pass?
Why can't I mod poster +/- 1: Troll?
This should have been news 5 years ago :(

Point taken, but it does create akward situations i must say..

Most probably. "We won't build any 3g-towers until we can eat customers souls".. Isn't DRM still illegal in finland?
