Telepathy is great... idea, http://tapioca-voip.sf.net/ is a great, working software, you can run on your system now and will be able to run it on your 770 as soon as you have GStreamer 0.10 running there, and this is the next version of maemo!
Really, try it out, it's really cool so far. Jabber and GTalk support is exposed in GUI, but SIP and others does work with underlying framework, just need some GUI work to make it available to users.
You may try Tapioca-VoIP http://tapioca-voip.sourceforge.net/. It can talk with Google Talk and runs on open software, with GStreamer 0.10 and DBus being major components.
It's still in development, they support SIP, but not in GUI, just the underlying framework.
Maybe it's because the ACPI was developed for Windows?
Even with Intel help, manufactures can always come with something different, them they provide some windows drivers and nobody cares... that's why we need to blacklist some devices.
If OpenOffice.org documents become OASIS certified we could have our governments to state that all Office software that want to make its way in government to be compilant with that standard.
So microsoft would have to way to lock countries and enterprises.
It's totally ridiculous that I need Microsoft Office and so, Microsoft Windows, in order to read my government papers!
But NO, we will not use it, as expected. I say that because this time we have the right person in the right place, and the person is there. So, forget. I know the guy, the guy is my friend and I can surely say that this time we move.
BTW, it was already happening... it's just confirmed right now. It's not something like others "We're evaluating the possibilities... by far 2010 we will move". It's going on!
IE: We have one of the big projects to take people to the internet, it's called "Telecentros", which uses LTSP (http://www.ltsp.org), Gnome, Mozilla, and OpenOffice.org to provide FREE internet access to +250,000 users (almost all are poor people that never had a chance to use computers in their lives).
Also, just to explain to people who didn't understand it yet: That is NOT related to TCO, license fees... it's about freedom. Freedom to let your people live. We give a shit about TCO, "de facto" standards (M$),... but we give a lot of value to FREEDOM. But if you don't know what is freedom anymore... I'm sorry, you really will not understand what I am saying...
I'm a core Freevo developer and I have something to say:
Hardware makers:
PLEASE SEND YOUR PRODUCTS TO PROJECTS DEVELOPERS! We don't have money/machine to buy every HW on the earth, so if you want to be supported, please provide at least one board to the project!
Recently we won an Epia and Hauppage PVR-250 and they will be better supported than others, just because we can test it.
Hello,
There is Freevo http://freevo.sf.net that has a better UI! Also, you can run it under X or Framebuffer or anything else SDL supports (like DXR3!)
As it uses the great MPlayer as the underlying player, it supports Mov, DivX, Mp3, Ogg,... Almos every {video,music} format in the world. It also have a image browser and a cute TV Guide (now a Web version too!) and it plays Mame!
The time shifting is in the work.

You think that Microsoft will invest $750mi in a Rich country that was already dominated?! Why will they do that? It ins't a capitalism thing be evil? So why be good?

Is Linux Dead?

There is something FALSE there:
"A Linux-based open-source program called Evolution looks pretty much like a standard Windows desktop."
Gnome is a desktop, evolution is just a email client that is ugly as Outlook
And... the excerpt you proposed is very invasive... I want a computer, not a deducer/thinker/intruder! I don't like neither my mom to see my money accounts, phone calls... I won't like an insecure OS to.
WinXP proved to be like this, all it promises before... it is nothing but yet another windows bugfix release version. Longhorn will be like this... much of marketing, less of innovation.
Here in Brazil, our best Computer Science University uses Linux Red Hat (6.2,7.0 and 7.2) and Windows NT4 in labs. The servers are SunOS with NFS, YPserver, Samba, SSH and others. It runs well and almost 50% use Linux for non-programming things like surf the web, etc...
They've recently changed the libraries machines OS from Windows to Linux (Autologin and Netscape). Most of people don't care (I think that was because the browser was always Netscape).
Aside of that, If you want it to work fine and people use it, use something that will NOT SHOCK THEM, like KDE3, Gnome or IceWM(if you don't have a good computer) and pre-configure it in a cool way: a menu with things that matter first, desktop icons and some explanation of the basic programs(like mozilla, kmail, evolution, konqueror, galeon). If you have some processing power, get some cool theme, like Liquid for KDE3(the best), Acqua or Luna (looks like WinXP).
I recommend you to introduce Evolution, Nautilus, Galeon, Kmail, Konqueror and Mozilla first, they're all easy to use.
The server could handle it using NFS and ypserver.

Should be in their website (electrolux.com.br) when the product hits the streets. Even the source code for BSD components will be there.

No, you're partially wrong.

Yes, maybe we get a check from M$.

We won not directly, but because one of the developers won a contest.
:p) better.
Also, we like MythTV too! They're open source and in the TV area they're (still
Also, I mean to donate to projects in general. MPlayer and TVtime guys would like to get one too.

If you like the idea and want to be supported, contact us via developers list (freevo: freevo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net)
Thanks, GustavoWhy not to use LGPL? So they keep the ACPI stuff open and don't need to open anything else.
I really don't like the BSD license 'cause I don't like to see my code on the Microsoft and folks hands and in another license!

The Shutdown icon was "stealed" from KDE 3. It's copyright is GPL.
I never used XP to know how it looks like.
Hey, mozilla calendar (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar) is one working solution.
The client is ok, the server is planned, but will come, at least as an OEOne paid service.
I think as more and more enterprises come to linux, solutions will become avaiable, both open and closed source.
What are you talking about man?
