  1. Re:... was glad to hear it ... on Nexus One First Phone Linus Torvalds "Doesn't Hate" · · Score: 1

    indeed, have hit the app limit myself a few times on my G1, quite annoying.

    from his blog


    everybody: my dad got himself a N900, so there's one in the family. Don't worry about it, there's room for more than one Linux phone.

    I like the Nexus One, maybe I'd like the N900 too. But I certainly don't like cellphones enough to have two.

    apps can store resources like images and data on the sd card, it's only the executable code that needs to be on the internal flash, so it's not as bad as it looks (although I which google would sort it out)

    If you like ironpython, check out Boo (http://boo.codehaus.org/) statically typed (or dynamic if you like) language which has borrowed most of the best features from from python.

    Within a month the battery went from 90% to 3% and did an emergency hibernate.

    1 month??? I want your battery...

  6. Re:Some phones are more open than Android on Canadian Android Carrier Forcing Firmware Update · · Score: 1

    yes, point taken. Would be better if android just included a way to root it for people who'd like to. Never really played with WebOS, looks quite nice though.
    Happy with my G1 as it is, next phone might be a maemo, we'll see!

    It's partially open source. Ever seen the source code for Android Google Maps or any of the other Google apps on Android?

    those are applications, not the OS which is far more important IMHO to have as open source / free software.

  11. Re:Visual Studio replacement on Linux on What Tools Do FLOSS Developers Need? · · Score: 1

    Alas, IntelliJ does not support c/c++ AFAIK. community edition only supports JAva and groovy and their pay version supports these languages.

    When it comes to c/c++ I only worked with various Borland IDEs, gcc + emacs and VS and I found VS being the best of these tools for c/c++, however, this is most likly because that has been the most modern toolset of them all.

    IMHO, IntelliJ beats all other Java IDEs I tried, including eclipse (maybe not featurewise, but ease of use, just less in your way).

    if you look in the link above you can see a full list of all their coding features. lots of shortcuts and navigation keystrokes that makes your everyday coding live easier.

    IntelliJ not hold up to VS???? I worked extensively with IntelliJ and now with VS2008, IntelliJ beats the crap out of VS any day when it comes to refactoring and nice shortcuts in the editor, up to the point I paid for Jetbrains Resharper with my own money in order get VS behave more like intelliJ.
    Don't get me wrong VS is good, but it aint that good

  16. Re:why Java? on An Android Developer's Top 10 Gripes · · Score: 1

    hold your horses, Java aint *that* bad. With the ability to write c libs for your java code I think things should be ok. Personally I prefer to do the UI in java/xml and then any heavy number crunshing in c. that way you use the languages for what they are best for. At least until someone ports QT to android phones. ;-)
    Also when they get the JIT to work for the Dalvik runtime things will also be a bit better

    Actually, It's up to the OS, the OS *might* keep it running, until it needs the resources held by the app.

    Indeed, the cool thing is that Activities can be shared between processes, My app, for example, can for example make use of Google's picture browsing or the google map activity , no need to write one myself.
    Activities are placed on a stack, so when the user hits the back button to leave the 3rd party activity they are returned to my activity
