  5. Re:Watch the salesman sqirm! on Testing an Orange SPV 'Smartphone' · · Score: 2

    On my Nokia D211 (GPRS cardphone), the time between the 'ATDT*99#' and the PPP-session is established is negligible (using pppd).

    In Windows, connect-times vary. I blame this on general DUN suckage, though.

  8. Re:Is there a point to this? on New Sony VAIO Laptop w/ 16.1" Screen · · Score: 2
    See the little round pad on the right side of the screen? Works more or less like the mouse on a Thinkpad.

    Left/right mousebuttons are on the flip side of the screen (think 'thumb on the pad, index finger on the buttons')

    With regard to speed, it's a 166 MHz Pentium. It runs Windows 2000 just fine (with 64 MB RAM), as long as you don't need to run a SETI or RC5 client (who'd do that on a laptop, anyway?).

    The full specs are here.

    12.1"? Pfft, weenies. My 7.1" Libretto gets me my work done, running Win2K and FreeBSD.

    Fits in the pocket of my coat, is loaded with 20GB of Futurama MPEGs, music etc., GSM/GPRS connectivity for VPN/SSH etc..

    It's sweet.

    .. has a fine client, which includes a file-transfer function.

    I use it every day to transfer files from/to home and work.

    It does some of the things you mention; easy UI, remote renaming, recursive directory transfers, drag and drop and some other bits.

  24. Hold your horses. on FreeBSD 4.5 NOT Released (Updated) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Official release-date is Jan 26th, as can be seen here.

    Slashdot jumped the gun, again.

    You could try watching newvers.sh in CVS for a 4.5-RELEASE tag, or at least check the FTP sites.

    4.5 is still in Release Candidate 3, as far as I know.

    Keep an eye on the freebsd-announce list or the news page.

  25. Re:I love vim on Simply GNUstep Delivers UNIX, Simply · · Score: 1

    You need to try out nvi. Yes, SVR4 vi sucks. nvi doesn't, it's a "bug-for-bug compatible replacement for the original 4BSD vi",
    meaning you get the exact behaviour of a traditional BSD vi, but the sources are unencumbered.

    I'm not going to comment on vim or the other vi-lookalikes, it'd probably end in a small flame-war.
