There was an issue with early Intel X25-M G1 SSDs. They were non-bootable with Apple MacBooks. I have one and it was hell figuring out why it didn't work in a MacBook. It's been great in a ThinkPad.
From the other comments it seems the problem is actually that "Apply" is off the screen. Just tested 9.10 rc and it's still a problem. Hitting tab a couple times works, but that's not obvious once you've already switched.
ARM talked about the Cortex A9 (the one I'd actually like to have in a netbook) over two years ago. There is still nothing you can get that actually has one in it.
Yay something to replace the ARM11. Hope it actually gets used.
I have an SSD from a T400S installed in a Fujitsu P1630. It's the Toshiba variety that's been shipping recently (looks like they started producing them in June).
Small random writes are fast, similar to the Intel X25-M. Sequential read is slower, but sequential write is usually faster than Intel's drives. Overall a very good SSD.
I don't see how this is a concern. My IBM T41P gets 6-8 hours of battery life with wireless and sound in frequant usage. It's not a slow machine either, 1.7GHz Pentium M, ATI FireGL graphics card. If IBM can do it, I'm sure Apple will have no problem producing a similar laptop.
Why are you inclined to trust a certificate more than an MD5 sum?
In order to verify the file I need a good public key or a good MD5 sum. You have to trust your source for those already. By using a certificate you merely shift the trust to a 3rd party, such as Verisign, which often has no incentive to be anymore secure than the original creator of the software (the people who would provide the MD5).
...considering it's Gentoo, how long would X take to compile on an iPAQ?:-)...
As long as it takes on the host computer you are developing with. Seriously, you would never compile anything on the embedded device. It would always be cross compiled on your nice dual-opteron build machine and be moved as binaries over to the embedded device.
you don't need AiroPeek NX, free software works

Hacking The DS's Wireless
·
· Score: 5, Informative
I've been doing most of the same stuff as Darkain has, but under Linux using all free software. Ethereal/tcpdump doesn't keep the raw 802.11b packets needed to see all of the DS data, but AirSnort does. AirSnort will record to pcap format and then you can mess with the packets in Ethereal.
Just a heads up for those who don't want to pay for AiroPeek and still want to mess with low level wireless stuff (like the Nintendo DS).
"Totally ruined" may be a bit harsh, but they did make the domain signifigantly less useful. Katie Jones used the site for personal images, her resume and other things before the book started slashdotting it. She was forced to take down all that when she started getting emails from strange people.
Here's a quote from her open letter on katie.com:
Since your book was published, my life has been completely invaded by its presence. Friends and colleagues have contacted me asking if it were me that were molested. Strangers have emailed me with upsetting stories of their own experiences. Others have contacted me asking me to put dubious content on the site, and countless other intrusions.
My site has had an enormous increase in traffic as a result of your book. My site contained photographs of my 18mth old baby boy, links to my business (which by unlucky coincidence happens to be an online chat site - something your book is talking about the dangers of) and my CV (Resume). I was very concerned about all of these parts of my life being associated with this book, and felt I had no choice but to take my web site down.
It's great that they finally did something about this, but what about all the damage caused by the book. They totally ruined Katie Jones' site, Penguin Putnam should own up to that and give her something for all the trouble they've caused.
Amazing, I wonder how long until we see a stable release?
Enlightenment is my second favorite WM/DE, fluxbox being first. I may be going back to Enlightenment if more stuff starts using these awesome libraries.
I thought NIST had already recommended replacing DES with AES several years ago. It's been fairly obvious for a while now that distributed computing could crack DES encoded data.
It will be AES's time before long anyways, with quantum computing these algorithms become fairly useless.
I had a toshiba laptop that met some stairs once...
Worked fine after bouncing down a flight of stairs and sliding across the floor. Continued to work fine until I sold it a year and a half later.
Where rpg maker really does stand out is teaching some basic concepts of game design. It takes almost everything technical out of the picture, and leaves you with some simple scripting and dialog box editing. This makes it a great learning tool for kids starting out with programming and computers. I'm speaking from experience, I was 10 or so when I messed with an old version of RPG maker. It got me interested in programming and I went on to DarkBASIC and Cybasic. Then C++, perl, php, and python. The simple but somewhat limited way you can make a quick game in rpg maker really gives a kid some motivation to go out and try programming.
Well some people do. I don't use bsd (tried to get freebsd installed, the init system segfaulted on my box) so you or I might not, but a lot of people do. And support for bsd usually means support for linux as well. Any decent application code will run on both, so why not make stuff for bsd and compile on linux or vise-versa. It doesn't make a lot of sense to just write a good operating system off, just due to lack of users. Remember Linux once had less people using it than any bsd and did for a long time.
Don't ignore things because the crowd isn't using them (yet...)

There are a few images floating around the net of a Linux native client existing during beta. Are there any plans to resurrect the Linux client?

"ifconfig wlan0 hw ether [mac address]" sets your wlan card's mac address under Linux. There is probably a way to do so under Windows as well.
I think you're looking for partimage.
Now when will we see it in the vanilla kernel?

Ok, but if computer techs should be licensed, license them as computer techs not television repair men.
The Sharp Actius MM20 gets some pretty amazing battery life. With the extended battery they really do get 8 or 9 hours running most anything.

with what Real did. It could easily be argued that they are making the iPod a more valuable product to consumers. It plays more music now right?
