I didn't see any mention of opening the 3D graphics drivers or video acceleration.
AMD GPU have had open specifications for a long time now. The OpenCL backend based on llvm was recently committed by an AMD developer. Phoronix has been tracking these developments rather well.

This LLVM back-end for R600g has been one of the items that AMD's open-source team has been working on for several months. In early December was when the R600g LLVM back-end was published. This LLVM implementation is needed for OpenCL on Radeon hardware, among other purposes.
"Now, you will notice," the Lions Club host said, "that you can barely see this
individual, who is seated directly to my right, because he is wearing what is called a
scramble suit, which is the exact same suit he wears--and in fact must wear--during
certain parts, in fact most, of his daily activities of law enforcement. Later he will explain
why."
The audience, which mirrored the qualities of the host in every possible way,
regarded the individual in his scramble suit.
"This man," the host declared, "whom we will call Fred, because this is the code
name under which he reports the information he gathers, once within the scramble suit,
cannot be identified by voice, or by even technological voiceprint, or by appearance. He
looks, does he not, like a vague blur and nothing more? Am I right?" He let loose a great
smile. His audience, appreciating that this was indeed funny, did a little smiling on their
own.
I mean, we could always trust the Russians to work in our best interests. Also, they were never sneaky about anything. Always truthful and honest, them Russians.
WTF? What retarded country do you belong to? Russians recently defended a massacre in south Ossetia by a US backed puppet Georgian government.
And Iran only threatened to wipe The West off the map, starting with Israel, with any means at their disposal. And that they could make a nuclear bomb if they wanted to, because it was a right granted to them from Allah.
US and UK are directly responsible for sabotaging a democratic coutry's chosen government. They actually wiped out an entire nation's will to govern itself.
Not to mention that they're playing the North Korean game of "let's talk" / "we're not talking to you anymore" / "let's talk" / "we're not talking to you anymore" with the UN. Remember what North Korea has now after a few years of that? Ah, yes, The Bomb.
Brazil got results out of Iran with no more than a week of negotiation. And then USA still kept rattling the sword over the deal. Yeah, that is exactly like North Korea.
And all this in the hands of a fanatic regime, intent on spreading Islam through force, feared and hated even by most other Islamic nations, all the while being one of the most horrible human-rights violators of our time.
China commits far more human rights violations. Guess which one the MSM mentions the most.
But there's nothing to fear. They're not after the bomb. They say they are, but there's nothing to worry about. It's just a nuclear power plant.
Fine, please disarm the only country in history of mankind to have used the nuclear bomb on civilian population, and actually considered using it again during the Korean war.
On an N900 with a proper physical keyboard, you're in good shape after several hours of typing.
I have a n900. I can heartily affirm that its keyboard is just made for common lisp + emacs. C/C++ have many special characters for which you have to pop up a virtual keyboard. But common lisp has all needed characters in just the right place in n900's keyboard. Only the quasi quote charater is missing, which is a small tradeoff to make for programming while walking around the house. Offsets the sedentary lifestyle a little.
Check out Project orion I am sure it can be made even more risk free in terms of radiation spread ( which is already very small), and it absolutely can get us to mars or launch heavy stuff for constructing O'Neil cylinders. And with a large enough space vehicle/station, asteriod belt can practically provide all the material we need for making more orion crafts.
What's wrong with dying? We all do it sooner or later as individuals. Why should the race last forever?
There is his called reproduction that you seem to be unaware of. Ask any parent, and they will tell you that a part of them lives on through their children. It is very common to find mannerisms and body language being passed down from parent to child.
The authorities ordered BurstNet to take the server offline for what appeared to be very, very serious violations.
Does it mean that authorities had a warrant from a judge? If they did, then I don't see what the hullo bullo is about.
If they did not have a warrant and still were able to shut down the web site, then democracy in USA is screwed.
The US nuclear arsenal has an unbelievable amount of safeguards and fail-safes - procedural, physical, and technical.
Really?
The Strategic Air Command (SAC) in Omaha quietly decided to set the “locks” to all zeros in order to circumvent this safeguard. During the early to mid-1970s, during my stint as a Minuteman launch officer, they still had not been changed. Our launch checklist in fact instructed us, the firing crew, to double-check the locking panel in our underground launch bunker to ensure that no digits other than zero had been inadvertently dialed into the panel. SAC remained far less concerned about unauthorized launches than about the potential of these safeguards to interfere with the implementation of wartime launch orders. And so the “secret unlock code” during the height of the nuclear crises of the Cold War remained constant at OOOOOOOO. From here
Manifest destiny is probably to blame here. Until americans do not get rid of their self-righteous crusadic attitude, it is difficult that they will realize how other countries see them.
Other countries make horrible mistakes too, like war. But members of public against these mistakes are not condemned as unpatriotic, or anti-national. Just look at how the movie Green Zone was branded unamerican. I don't know how americans starring in the movie must have felt about that insult. I would have been furious enough to rip somebody's head off on being called anti-naional.

Done. It rocks. Sorry for offtopic post though.

This is pure FUD.
Nokia n900 has the complete openjdk available on it. You can use it without paying or licensing Sun/Oracle.
And then pakistanis hand off 10 small nuclear bombs and all tech to make more to the said taliban + ISI.

No. Both Bush administration and Al qaeda played americans like a fiddle.
