Well, as far as I'm concerned, you are right... Until Firefox has a competing implementation. At that point, it's a standard. Also, so long as it's/architecture/ independant - I.e. can be compiled for ARM or any other arch you want... Great!
Um... all the strings I've seen, they are replacable. They are made just like regular strands with the removable socket, and the 3mm led sets in there with bent legs. It's trivial to pull the diodes for other uses, or replace them.
Why not just put the radio on a card, perhaps like a SIM card? Then, you can swap in a card/module for the band/area you want to use. And any company wanting a new frequency would simply need to design another card to a certain API/interconnection standard.
I'm still thinking that with memory bandwidth in the many-GB/sec, the bottlenecks won't be apparent - if your entire game image is a GB or two, it'd still be loaded in a fraction of a second.
And I know for a fact we can have single-processor(multicore, though), four-slot(or 6-slot Intel) memory motherboards, and with 4GB DDR3 cards...
Or just stick 16gb+ ram in your machine, setup a soft-ramdisk... Best would be if things were ECC compatible, but well-tested regular ram would probably do fine.
I've found the same thing. FF seems to be extremely stable, does what I want, and is configurable enough that I can make it look/how/ I want(unlike Chrome and, I suspect, IE), which is something like the UI of FF3. Also, aside from a couple of glitches I've seen in nightly versions(locking up if reloading over 30 tabs at once being a problem I saw for a year), It's been pretty fast and stable.
Of course, you ight end up with other business models, including croud-sourced 'pre-paid' works and ad-supported works. You don't/need/ copyright to have creative works, it just/can/ make things easier.
Well, asude from maby Mark Twain, I can't say I see any reason to read/watch/look at their works either. Sure, most modern entertainment is frivolous and trite... but that doesn't mean that older works(which we now seem to revere) are actually any better...
Heck, better than that, if it's hardware that failed? Just stick it in a similar box(i.e. same arch) and it'll usually just boot right up! With software issues, I've had great luck just installing mdadm and being able to auto-detect/assemble my raids, without needing any config file.
And they aren't even great for that, when you can get a 4-16GB flash drive for just a few dollars($1/GB recently at best buy), and the drives are far faster, less likely to get scratched in transit, and re-usable.
Good thing my N900 is clean! AFAIK, the only thing it has is a stupid tool that sends an opt-in text to nokia on first boot with a sim card. Not great, but easily disabled and nowhere near as invasive.
Yup. If I have to grab something from source, I'll usually look for an alternative as it means I'll have to keep it updated and managed, versus having apt do it all for me.
Same. Debian+KDE on my desktop(now two of them), Debian+LXDE on my laptop(I have a W7 partition, but it's slow and annoying compared to LXDE), and my file/backup server, Maemo on my phone/tablet... What more do I need? Everything Just Works(TM) after initial install/setup. And I can control any machine from any other with SSH, and/or mount any drive to any machine with sshfs or nfs, including my phone!
I'm thinking of the one game I play regularly - TF2. It definitely reduces eyestrain(even at higher framerates) when Motion Blur is enabled in the settings.
Yes No Maby. Thing is, as far as the content goes, it comes in 24 or 30fps rates, so as long as you can do those consistantly without variation, it will look fine. Gaming on the other hand, you'll need to add lots of motion blur to make it look acceptable. That being said, even at 120hz(I've got an aw2310 and no 3d glasses for a reason...), motion blur helps. But I'd not want to a 30fps screen for much in the way of transitions or scrolling, as it'd definitely be somewhat jerky.
And yet windows XP - which is only 10 years old* and still has plenty of marketshare - still runs LM hashes by default, which are/case insensitive/ and in a max of 2 7-char chunks, making cracking trivial if you have access to the hashes.
*the OS is 10 years old. The service packs aren't. They could have fixed the flaw at any point in the past easily enough.
Just so long as there's a CLI/available/ (just like it is on Windows, I might add), I agree. I'll say that it wouldn't take much - someone like Mint could easily do what you're asking; it'd just take a package manager that shows names of programs and hides other stuff. The driver support is nearly there if not already, it'd just be a matter of handling the whole NVIDIA distribution license VS GPL stuff... Or make it auto-download on first run. Or something.

Ooh! A Nokia /910/! Tell me where I can get one! :P

Bwahahahaha.
APK is always a good target around here.

/me agrees completely.
My Maemo-based N900 is excellent, but the hardware's getting slightly old.

Also, software raid is plenty fast, and typically more robust than consumer-grade "hardware" solutions.
Very happy with MD raid-5.

Well, there's still the good old N900 or newer, not-quite-so-good N9 with Maemo...
Good point.
Mod parent up.

It's /lovely/.
On the other hand, fat12 has /far/ better undelete capibilities than, say, EXT4. So it's not a total loss...
