Would you like to give a value for the probability that an off-the-shelf decompiler produces something clearly similar to the open source code that's allegedly copied? Now scale that for many many instances. And include the fact that some of the alleged copying is of data tables. And they're identical.
There are footprints, fingerprints, and hairs everywhere - that's fairly damning evidence that that open source code was at the scene of the crime. Reasonable doubt has long expired.
The fact that there are so many different WMs and environments means that it's entirely possible none of them do everything for you, keyboard-wise. Every time you make one type of interaction easier, you typically make some other interaction more difficult. Sometimes one becomes impossible.
However, if you don't care for all of the fluff of the heavier window managers, then there are definitely some that are well optimised for keyboard use. I personally use DWM but I know others that use Ratpoison and Awesome. DWM's not mouse-unfriendly either - sometimes my hand won' leave the mouse for hours, it just depends what I'm doing.

Argh, browser specific - that's a tarpit. The simplest workaround is to use one of the other browsers that are available. Both opera and firefox worked at least as well as the packaged one. (Quicker, mainly. Startup time's not so good, but that's due to prestarting.)
OK, I've just seen an official 450hr (two and a half weeks) standby time figure in some publicity material, so I presume I can say more. That's 50% higher than what Apple seem to be claiming for their devices. And I believe every part of it. I'm a developer, I reflash my device almost daily, so have never put it to the test, but I know that the idle-time battery usage estimations are frequently well in excess of 18 days. To me, that's stellar, and that's not because I work for Nokia, I think it's quite objective.
Dropped first character? If that's a bug in the core nokia GUI code, then that might be the kind of thing that the Community SSU package could fix. If you can give me steps to reproduce (I'm the only 'phil' from nokia that has contributed to the linux kernel, so you can find my work address trivially) I can ask the CSSU guys if it's a known issue. Or feel free to join the maemo forums and ask it yourself. (I don't know anything about userspace issues, alas, so I have no ideas what's going on up there.)
I probably shouldn't say too much. However, some of the miracle workers in the kernel team were the power management guys. Fully charge an n9 and your favourite other smart phone, and then leave them to go flat. Your other smart phone will die first, of that I'm sure. (I'm not patting myself on the back here, I'm not in the PM team.)
I would love to share some figures, but I believe those are a complete no-no at this stage, official channels only. And even if Engadget do have a real device in their hands, they still won't be able to report on the battery life for quite a while...;-)
Gee thanks. I'd have done the same, I guess. I approve of +1 funny, but won't comment about the "informative" aspect. It's easy to read your post as a criticism of upper levels of Nokia management, which again wouldn't be too broad brush, it certainly doesn't splash me.
However, my contributions, and those of many others, are not forgotten, they are living on in the upstream linux kernel with our personal names attached to them.``git log | grep nokia.com''
I expect to see many contributing with @intel.com, @ti.com, and @nvidia.com email addresses now, as their contributions were recognised as being very significant.
But don't forget that some people worked their guts out on the device.
Everyone will have some criticisms, that's only expected, but no-one who has worked on the device wants to see a criticism with a brush so broad that it covers their contribution or component. (Your comment did was not so broad-brush, this isn't a criticism of your post.)
There are several aspects of the device and/or software that are absolutely stellar. Incomparably better than anything else I've seen. I hope that journalists and bloggers recognise those when they finally get their hands upon one. It's a shame that some of these aspects are 'invisible', that's often the way with software - the less you notice it, the better it is, but alas the less likely it is to grab the attention.
Of course, there's one reason why I have the views and insights that I do, so I'll end this post with the following: The opinions expressed in this post are mine own and do not necessarily represent the official view of Nokia.
You appear to be saying that between 90% and 95% of the population of the US is poor. I'm not sure even I would insult the inequity of the USA to that extent.
The failure is entirely yours. You've attempted to explain the meaning of "The Earth wasn't supposed to..." by using the schema "The earth was supposed to...". If you're unable to understand the difference a 'not' makes in that position, then it's your English teachers who should be hanging their head in shame. With your interpretation, and the not in that position, the sentence becomes false. You've turned what was merely weak argumentation into a falsity. I doubt the parent poster his happy with your revision. And if he is, he'll have proved himself a speaker of untruths, in which case I care not what he thinks.
I'm scratching my head here and can't think of many places that would be much cheaper than the midwest without being a desert, frequently flooded, snowed under half the year, or with unfavourable relief.
It's the most effective contraception known to women, at least ones with college level education or a career. Far too many males are either ignorant of the fact, or deliberately want it to remain unknown. Often because of a political or religious agendum, of course. Thank you for raising the point, it cannot be said often enough.
What would happen to consumption were the US alone to reduce its consumption per capita to that of India or China? Clue - 300 million times 10-to-20, is over half the population of the earth.
Let's see if you can join the dots between that and a figure that says that overconsumption it of the order of half the population of the earth. I won't hold my breath.
We need to recognise that people like Mother Theresa and the Pope are the cause of more suffering in the world, through encouraging people to breed offspring who can't be fed properly, than either Uncle Joe or Uncle Mao.

Indeed, font matters. With your HDMI telly, you also need an Arial to get decent image quality.

This is specifically not being treated as a copyright issue.
Admittedly, all the groundwork has been done for it to be now turned into a copyright issue as well.

Why do people listen to shamens?
They babble, we don't understand them, therefore they are wise and we are stupid.
Did we learn to have 3 offspring?
I certainly didn't. My partner and I are happy with the 0 we currently have, and will work hard to double that this year and every subsequent year.
And I didn't marry my cousin either.
There's a difference between being aware of the issues and actually doing anything about of them.
That's an empty argument. The earth wasn't supposed to do anything.
Spin, perhaps, but even that's debatable.
We need more contraception.
We need to recognise that people like Mother Theresa and the Pope are the cause of more suffering in the world, through encouraging people to breed offspring who can't be fed properly, than either Uncle Joe or Uncle Mao.
