That's way faster to read than anything on a bleed-your-yeys white background.
TFA is comparing 10pt Monaco with a 12pt font. Put them both at 12pt and Monaco - which is monospaced - the way God intended computer displays to be - wins.

Have you ever seen a HUAWEI router ? 99.9% CISCO copies at 1/2-1/3 of the price. In Europe, as a cost saving measure, Vodafone buys now only Huawei equipment as anyone who knows CISCO IOS will know how to work witha Huawei machine (it's "display..." instead of "show...")

Turn off nook Take off the back cover of the nook Remove the battery Remove the user microSD card if there is one Unscrew all screws. Dont lose them. There is a hole in the bottom left with white in it. That is also a screw. Unscrew that.
There are a bunch of tabs around the sides of the nook that release the white bezel. Once released you will need to unseal the glue Congrats you are 25 percent there! There are two black tabs on the sides of the nook where the page turn buttons are. Push those back to unlock them
You should be at the board now. Find the OS microSD card
Remove it
Place the microSD card in a adapter, then into a computer Mount it as ext3 read-write (sudo mount/dev/sdb1/media/disk replacing values as needed) Open the file init.rc as sudo (sudo nano init.rc) Find the line that starts talking about adbd Replace the first occurance of the word disabled with enabled 50 percent done!

"a few years ago", a Final Cut Pro license was A LOT of money... iMovie is good for a hobby. Final Cut Express is good for a expensive hobby. But you got the Pro version at the top height of it's price and now you're saying a Mac Pro is too expensive ? Darn this recession.
So... if i have a 1st gen phone with Android 1.x i can now upgrade-it to 2.0 with just a mouse click ? And will i be able to upgrade-it to Android 3.0 when it comes out ? If not - thank you - i will keep my iPhone and get new features and functionality for free.
The huns were allowed to immigrate in the Transylvanian plains and now the hungarians are claiming that half of Romania is theirs. Just google a bit people: the nazi-loving hungarian troops killed more romanian civilians than all the other parties involved in the World Wars together.
I DO want a free box with Ethernet, wireless, HDMI, surround audio, USB (for wired controllers) and maybe Bluetooth (for the wireless ones) and with a CPU wih enough oomph to decode HD streamed video. If we manage to port XBMC on this...:)

Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a versatile tool lets you manage the state of an emulator instance or Android-powered device.
Full documentation and list of commands available in adb can be found here:

It's not hard. Just add .nyud.net after the hostname.
48 what cores ?
Will a chip with 48x 486 CPUs be of any use today ?
How much L2 cache in each core ? 64Kb ?
True.

Learn to tune your NFS exports & mounts. Samba is slow compared to a well tuned NFS setup.

Can you please show me the relevant code from the kernel's source ?
Thanks.
OMG - Porsche changed the gearing of their new Engines and i can no longer install stolen Porsche engines on cheap Tata Nano car bodies.
Porsche should be in court, at the wrong side of a lawsuit !
Again: it's not about car vendor not supporting a certain type of gear sizes.
It's about car vendors specifically using non-standard sizes to prevent the installation in a 3rd party car body that otherwise works just fine.
Less support for CPUs not sold by Apple means less bloat in the Darwin XNU kernel, means more speed for us legitimate mac users.
Thumbs up, Apple. Our money were well spent.
So ... if i have a 1st gen phone with Android 1.x i can now upgrade-it to 2.0 with just a mouse click ? And will i be able to upgrade-it to Android 3.0 when it comes out ?
