Waiting for some decent raspberry pi box.. actually, just someone packaging that nice little board into a nice case.. after that it's all linux+xbmc (again):)
I just ordered a Buffalo WHR-HP-G300N for 30€ (Amazon Cyber Monday). Had the same thoughts.. running a WRT54GL with Tomato and want to upgrade to 802.11n. The Buffalo one runs DD-WRT, so it seems like a good choice..
I don't get why so many people complain. It's only on the Chrome netbook. You won't use legacy decades old applications on it. You won't even have a terminal. You will just browse the web. You will far often want to search the web (and press that new key) then you want to write lots of letters all in caps, which you still can with shift. So, yes. Get rid of that useless key, please!
According to the article RIM is still #1 in the US. Always interesting to see how much US, Europe and Asia markets differ. Almost noone has a Blackberry in Europe but there is much more Nokia.
So now Chrome can support only VP6/7 in die tag, Apple does it's quicktime thing, MS does.wmv and Firefox OGG. Hooray! Honestly, i don't think that would happen, i hope that it may be open sourced and that Android will get some "high quality" video stuff (as far as you can get that on mobile displays).
FTA: "The world won't end if some snarky, anonymous comment on Slashdot disappears." What? Nothing more important than anonymous slashdot trolls to moderate:/
Munroe wins hands down, his comics have humour, are original and many of them even contain some strange deeper meaning. Katz' comics are.. well.. not even funny.
> Android devices are only allowed to have low-resolution QVGA (240x320) resolution displays
What the hell are you talking about resolutions? Surely android is not designed for only a few resolutions. In fact it is designed in such an awesome way, that you only need one binary package for every phone and resolution. Get your facts straight, before posting bullshit, thanks.
Also, cpu intensive tasks dont belong on a phone. Maybe you are wondering why Alias Maya wasnt ported to a phone yet. But i won't tell you why, heh...
I don't get why a server needs nice GUIs (let alone 1600x1200 graphics). Besides, one shouldn't buy a "generic PC" when it comes to serving businessapplications. I can get some decent servers that run Linux by every major company.
You better compare python to other dynamic scriptlanguages instead of C or Java.
One should probably take the languageshootout on alioth.debian.org with a grain of salt (as i didn't look into the
implementation of the benchmarks), but supposed that the benchmarks are equally well written, you'll see
that python compares very well against php or perl.
Java is a lot faster, but eats a lot more memory.
Then again, Java is a lot different to Python. Let alone C.
Correction/Addition: The burning down of the Reichstag can't be compared with the twin towers, imho. The Nazis burnt it down themselves and said it were the jews. Both were the pretended reasons to start murdering many innocent people, though (which i think is what you are aiming at).
A bit late, i was getting used to the name Linksys, which imho stands for good consumer network hardware, whereas cisco stands for very expensive enterprise hardware. I think it was fine the way it was. Looks like a typical manager-decission "oh, we call it cisco, it will allow us to make it more expensive"

release all top-secret info about area 51!
at least python gives the higher precision

Seriously, what does an apple server offer over linux? Are there any advantages?
Let me welcome our new Dominion Overlords!

Sounds like he is on his way!
