    And I would be very interested to see Word Perfect 1.0 run on any modern hardware without some very very serious hack rages going on.

    I don't think there WAS a 1.0 in WordPerfect's versioning. The initial release was on Data General minicomputers and had no version number, but would most likely still run comfortably on one of the SIMH multi-system emulators.

    1. Extract "ov-root.zip" to a convenient location, you will use this later.
    2. If your Optimus V isn't already connected to your PC with a USB cable, go ahead and do that.
    3. Extract Super One Click and run "SuperOneClick.exe".
    4. Select Shell Root.

    Because people trying to market things to me is just the way capitalism works. The government spying on you and monitoring you

    Your government has, and will continue to do many disgraceful things which invade your privacy and limit your freedoms, but In this instance, they're just monitoring public information. Your corporations are not only monitoring, they are actively influencing community discussions (using sockpuppet accounts) while pretending to be part of the community. That is decietful, and in many cases has effectively killed the community (ie, Digg).

    The point I'm making is that it doesn't matter if your government monitors/interferes in social media, because all social media sites are already infested and untrustworthy.

    Android phones originally looked like this [imgur.com].

    Ah, it wouldn't be Slashdot without sly misdirection and deceptive practices.

    There are TWO Android prototypes, one the image you've liked to, the other a (still ugly) candybar touchscreen device. Anyone who's used the emulator in the SDK will be familiar with the touchscreen version http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/android-emulator.jpg.

    And since I've seen postings where this has been pointed out to you before, I can only conclude you're deliberately lying to mislead anyone who reads your posts. Most likely to persuade people to believe Google didn't plan on touchscreens from the start.

    What's your motivation for this? Can you explain why it's so important for you to repeatedly lie in a public forum?

  18. Re:Not going to work... on Qualcomm Wants a Piece of the PC Market · · Score: 1

    Emulating x86 on ARM seems to be the worst way to compansate for the lack of apps. And is it even possible? I mean, even discounting the usual losses due to emulation, x86 chips are usually much more powerful.

    For the moment, true. However you don't need to do full x86 hardware emulation to get good results. Longsoon chips are MIPS based, but include hardware-assisted x86 emulation.

    If someone like Qualcomm were to produce an advanced multi-core Snapdragon (a la Tegra) with a similar set of instructions, I have no doubt most productivity software would run well enough to be usable.

    Hardware-assisted x86 emulation
    Loongson 3 adds over 200 new instructions to speed up x86 instruction execution at a cost of 5% of the total die area. The new instructions help QEMU translate x86 instructions by lowering the overhead of executing x86/CISC-style instructions in the MIPS pipeline. With added improvements in QEMU from ICT, Loongson-3 achieves an average of 70% the performance of executing native binaries when running x86 binaries from nine benchmarks.

    You can call me a fanboy, I guess. I have a one of the $100 Android tablets mentioned in TFA (actually, the $120 Novo 7 Advanced with Gingerbread), and it's an excellent little machine. I originally grabbed it as an Arduino platform, but it's very responsive, has 8Gb storage, capacitative multitouch and a good range of ports, including host mode USB and HDMI. I'm using it a lot more than I expected.

    There's no way in hell Microsoft, Apple, RIM or any of the proprietary giants would have allowed a machine like that to be built if they could stop it - not enough margin for them. Look at how much effort MS put into killing Netbooks.

    Still, if Apple wants to compete on price and quality with it, I say bring it on!

    Seeing the big boys start competing in the sub-$100 tablet market would definitely be a win for us buying them
