    Don't forget the part where you have to pay for the rest of the phone if you ever want to go with someone else.

    "What architectures do Zero and Shark work on?

    As of December 2008, Zero is known to work on Alpha, ARM, IA-64, MIPS, PowerPC, x86, x86-64 and zSeries.

    Shark should be able to build on any Zero-supported system that LLVM has a JIT for. As of October 2009, this is ARM, PowerPC, x86 and x86-64. "

  5. Re:There's always a downside on Canadians Protest Wind Turbines · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's about constant exposure to low frequencies as I understand it, which is not something that people are generally exposed to in their daily lives.

    Is 50/60Hz not considered a low frequency anymore?

  6. Finally on Go Version 1 Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Awesome. Only took them about 2000 years or so too.

  7. Re:Will this be any different? on GNOME 3.4 Released · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The other alternative was to start fixing Gnome 2's numerous bugs, and where's the fun in that?

    Yeah, why fix bugs we know when we can go write a whole bunch of NEW ones!

  8. Re:Sugar Labs? on Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix Ready For Download · · Score: 1

    It ought to. The XO-1 has 256MB RAM and a bulkier instruction set, so Sugar should be just a yum install away.

  9. Re:Shocking... NOT! on P2P Music Downloads At All-Time Low · · Score: 1

    Not all subbed anime online is fansubbed.

  12. Re:Why would he change the key? on Fedora Infrastructure Compromised · · Score: 1

    Because, as they say, "you can't get there from here". Changing the key is the only way to get any further into the system, unless you already have the private key and passphrase.

  13. Re:Negroponte, please on ARM Powered OLPC XO-1.75 Laptop Is Faster Than X86 · · Score: 1

    Because it can raise their level of civilization, which in turn will allow the developed world access to their resources and will allow them to buy products from the developed world.

    And solve world hunger, cure cancer, and all of that, but no one cares about that bit.

    More like the *contents* of said six-pack, after it explodes from the pressure difference.

  15. Re:iPad, iSad on Covert Video of Apple IPad 2 Just Released · · Score: 1

    Most people hate keyboards. More than one button confuses them. Heck, I've seen people get confused by the mute switch on the iPhone.

  16. Re:A better mousetrap? on ErgoSlider Offers a New Mouse Alternative · · Score: 1

    Even a brain interface can cause RSI. It just causes it in the brain instead of in the wrists.

  17. Re:Bill Murray on Original Cast On Board For Ghostbusters 3 · · Score: 3, Informative

    He ad libbed quite a lot, so he wanted partial writing credit. Or so they say.

  18. Transifex on Crowd-Source Translation Software For Free Content? · · Score: 1

    One option worth looking at is Transifex. It's being very actively worked on, with the release of the next version imminent. Also, a hosted version is planned, so you eventually won't even need to maintain a server to run it on. It works with the big five FOSS VCSes, and the new version will be able to crack open tarballs as well. The Fedora Project has been using it for about a couple of years now, with great success.

  19. Re:Coding... on Worst Working Conditions You Had To Write Code In? · · Score: 1

    I once had to write code with Yoyoma.

  23. Re:So let me get this clear on End of the Road For AMD's Geode Chip · · Score: 1

    1) It's the end of the product line of the Geode. No new Geode models are expected. Current models will be produced as long as there is demand.
    2) In the XO-1, yes. We shall have to see what the XO-2 will use.

  24. Re:try something new on Linus Switches From KDE To Gnome · · Score: 1

    Xmonad doesn't even support ICCCM properly, and I have heard that the Xmonad developers have no interest in making it do so.

  25. Re:he's right, but why isn't he using fluxbox on Linus Switches From KDE To Gnome · · Score: 1

    Because the other choices within Fedora have even less support. KDE is maintained by 6 people, XFCE is maintained by 2 or 3 people, and all the others are maintained by a single person.

    Compare that with the dozens of people that Red Hat throws at GNOME and it's not hard to see which would be favored in Fedora.
