  5. Re:This is not a fair comparison on Nexus 5 With Android 4.4 and Snapdragon 800 Challenges Apple A7 In Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    You've got a Quad-Core ARM running at twice their Ghz and you barely post benchmarks ahead of a Dual-Core A7, you know you're stupid for buying one.

    Stupid for buying a faster phone at half the price? You have a strange concept of stupid :-)

    It's because Google is dumping Nexus 5 with almost no profits in US market. Nexus 5 sold by LG in Taiwan market costs me almost twice.

    Yeah but that phone is half the price of the iPhone.

  12. Re:Umm...Wistron NeWeb?!? on Linux Cell Phones Coming Q1 2007 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Made by Wistron NeWeb? I have one PHS/GSM dual mode phone made by this company (distributed through Taiwan PHS operator). So little features and too many bugs make this phone barely useable. I have no trust on this company since then.

  13. Re:More Info on Linksys Releases GPLed Code for WRT54G · · Score: 2, Informative

    As far as I know, wl.o is made by Broadcomm and is provided as part of Board Support Package (bsp). Linksys may not have its source code too.

    Even if wl.o is binary only, you may still use iwconfig/iwpriv to set wireless parameters.

    I don't agree your opinion that Broadcomm wireless module has to be covered by GPL. How can NVIDIA do binary-only driver but not Broadcomm?

  14. Re:Cheap in Asia on America's Broadband Dream Is Alive-- In Korea · · Score: 1

    I live in Taiwan too. How can you get US $10/Month broadband service?

    The 512/64 ADSL you can get from Chunghwa Telecom (the government owned shit) is NT$499+595/month (about US$30/month). You can only get faster cable service (2M/256) in limited area, but the cost is almost the same as ADSL.

    There is not really a "free" 56k dialup. You still have to pay NT$1.7 (5 cents US$) every 3 minutes for a local call to ISP.

    Cheap in Taiwan? I don't think so.
