Which western countries government does not yet behave like the long gone STASI or NSDAP? (ie: illegal arrests, arrests due to obvious bullshit laws, spying on private computer systems WITHOUT WARRANT or the knowledge of the victim, telling you what you can read / watch and what not -> the illusion of free press, telling you what you are allowed to think and to say -> the illusion of free speech")
Which country out there truly honors its citizens right to privacy and does not treat its populace like they were all criminals?
Which country out there does not surrender to the all-present abuse of the words "terrorist, communist or anarchist" to
justify bullshit laws (and even full blown wars...) or to push any other political agenda?
Which country does not abuse the mainstream media to manipulate the masses to do their bidding in more disgusting ways than even Dr. Goebbels was able to?
Are there any truly democratic and free countries left?
Unfortunately this is pretty much impossible w/o running each "universal" package inside its very own jail or mini sandbox.
Different library and userspace application versions and compile-time options between different distros are the problem, not
the packaging format (RPM, DEB, whatever).
Does that work on any web page, or does it have to be specifically enabled? How can I know if the connection is secure? And when I click a link will that also use 'https'?
For someone calling himself hax0r_this, you are awfully uninformed.
Of course the webserver (apache or whatever) must have SSL installed, enabled and configured for any (virtual) domains you are trying to reach via SSL.
I haven't used too many different Linux distros but I believe it would be safe to say that SSL is not enabled by default these days as it adds quite a bit of CPU overhead on busy sites (or so I heard).
Your Browser of Choice will display a little "Lock" symbol in its status bar and / or recolor the address bar when you are connected via SSL, it is easy to spot once you know what to look out for.
If the links are coded properly, then yes, all local links in a webpage will use SSL / https instead of http.
I am one of the few lucky "P0" developers and already own a Neo1973 for a few month now.
The screen is almost perfect for e-book reading due to its awesome brilliance and bightness.
The only problem right now is patching existing e-book reader software for use with the neo
( ie: change pages by tapping the touchscreen as the Neo does not have any keys etc ).
I personally used the "BlueTooth Remote" function of a certain unnamed mobile (heh) to change pages
on the Neo wirelessly;)
Actually that is not always true. For machinery you differentiate between Emergency Stop and Emergency Power-off. The latter cuts power to all moving parts of the machine and relies on mechanical systems (breaks, clutches etc) to actually stop any moving parts. The former OTOH
performs a controlled (and powered!) shutdown of the machine (think electric braking etc) after which
it may or may not cut power to selected parts of the control circuits.
The difference is vital.
Dear AC,
If you had bothered to actually read the post you are replying to, you would have noticed that
the OP stated that foreign nations were looking up to the USA in the past (like, you know, 30 to 50 years ago). And at the very least in Germany that has indeed been the case (and that should bloody tell you something)
The current state of affairs, however, is very disappointing and disturbing.
FWIW, the Neo's GSM module is using a dedicated CPU with its own (closed) GSM firmware.
The interface (modem-style AT commands) OTOH is well documented.
The only closed part will be the GPS plugin.
It supports BBeB, PDF,.txt, RTF, Word files, JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP. This covers _all_ document formats I would be interested in reading on the thing. What do you feel is missing and sufficiently important to make it "nearly useless"?
txt.gz, rtf.gz and html.gz just to name a few, you get the idea =)
This thing if a far way from useless tho.

Or, you could simply subscribe to slashdot, rendering your plugins useless and helping your favorite timekiller financially.
Worst topic ever.
The better questions would be:

Well, I guess now the shackle is on the other foot. Arbeit Mach Frie.
FYI: The correct spelling is "Arbeit Macht Frei".

If you are running OpenZaurus >= 3.5.1, it is.
Just download and configure the Openembedded build environment and compiling OPIE / GPE apps is as easy as it can get.
Even for non-developers.
PS: openembedded.org / handhelds.org is currently down for maintenance
First strike policy, well, Germany? 'nuff said.
Aww come on. That was 60 (sixty!) years ago. Many people of that time aren't even alive anymore.
Pleas at least use "Nazi-Germany" in the feature.
Because they continue to improve the software and even port it to new devices, long after the original Zaurus 5500 hit its EOL.
Not even giving up in times when fewer and fewer devs contribute to the projects.
They made the Zauri to the killer machines they are today.
Way to go guys!
Me and the iTunes Music Store, along with about 50,000 games, would like to beg to differ.
I was talking about the operating system, not some software *you* want to use.
It's not Linux's fault if a vendor doesn't provide his software for all operating systems but only one.
I was talking about how flexible and unrestrictive Linux as a OS is (compared to some "other" OS)
Yeah, it is amazing. What's even more amazing is, this is what you have to do to perform common tasks under Linux.
Um, wait a second.
Maybe Linux makes you jump through hoops, but it sure as hell doesn't restrict what you do.
This should rather be moderated as "Insightful"...
sigh....who modded that interesting?
MC is a rippoff
Heh depends on who you are
I'm german and have to use en_US keyboards at work quiet often. Kinda annzoing
That's why i love flashblock for Mozilla / Fire*
http://flashblock.mozdev.org/
It lets you select exactly which flash banner / whatever on a site is displayed.
This is a must-have IMO
Local as in an 0wn3d apache / sendmail / whatever server?
I personally prefer Windows Retarded.
Actually the site was reachable until the second it went live for non-subscribers.
Not that cologne smells *that* good in the first place.
