If I had something to wish for it would be that everything they could would be open-source and everything else would be possible to get anyhow and patch in into the OS image, with no signature of the OS image so you could modify close to everything and update the phone.
As goes for new OS versions (please keep all old drivers and allow people to build OS images with them.)
Whatever it will happen who knows? How likely do you think it is?
Saw one used but new (warranty replacement) for 2000 SEK the first time I searched. Thought about purchasing it but I don't know what I should had used it for.
Also saw your notice about purchasing without trying. The processor seem to be somewhat behind. On the other hand the resolution is quite nice. Funny how all the Apple fanboys started bragging about the iPhone4 and its resolution which obviously was the most important thing in the world. But no-one seemed to care back then the 3GS had lower resolution than the N900;)
No it doesn't. Just that they won't host, administer and pay for all the functionality around it if no-one is going to use it anyway.
You can still get the source code. Obviously.
Lots of work for nothing.
Regarding Android I have no idea how accessible it is. Most of the phones seems rather locked down anyway.
Wait for the Nexus Two in that case. Personally I want a MeeGo phone. And if I had to get something now I guess it would be either a cheap second hand (eventually still new) N900 or the E7 once released but I'd much rather wait for MeeGo. But it will most likely take forever.
Not like I've got anything to call anyway.
Something with no voice possibility and all wireless network and portability would do to. People could phone by over IP.
Yeah, either they should had gone with Android and everyone else or kept releasing Maemophones. To leave users out in the cold and don't release anything new for like 2 years will suck.
The idea was most likely to get the money from services and application repositories themselves.
But maybe being greedy hurt them more they will ever profit from it. Time will tell.
Now as for light peak, here's why you should get excited. Really excited. Light Peak is an emerging technology capable of transferring huge chunks of data with blazing speed. We're talking about 10 Gbps both up and down. So yeah, we're talking about a huge technological leap here.
So what is it? A connectivity alternative? Network replacement? 10 Gbps? Really? And I should be impressed why?
Or is it wireless? Somewhat better. But still? Yawn?
I doesn't even have to do with whatever I like TPB or not (I don't, poorly seeded, no forced registration, so on;D)
It has all to do with whatever I think it's right that four (?) individuals get punished for the crimes of a whole nation / world.
Imho the issue is the breach of the copyright (or download of content for which you don't have the permission from the copyright holder), and every single individual breaching those are the issue. Not the system allowing it to happen.
They just get punished because it's much easier to sue and punish four individuals than it is to do the same to millions (or hundreds of millions) of people.
The masses won't care so much as long as it's not affecting them.
But these aren't the droi... copyright infringing people they are looking for. They just get punished because it's convenient, and _HARD_.
So they may have had harsh e-mail responses. So what? That's worth ten of millions of SEK in punishment (I won't say damage because there isn't much damage from those letters, the damages has been done by everyone spreading or not buying copyright protected material.)
A friend got one month in prison or 5 (or was that? Maybe more likely? 50.000 SEK for not doing his military duty.)
Nowadays it's not obligatory longer and we kinda have no defense worth noticing compared to back in the 80ies or such. So now nothing would had happened.
So that was a waste, and the same goes for everyone else in my age doing it.
Anyway, 46 million? Because they have continued? Inflation? The copies has spread?
There was a new idea now about adding like 10 SEK to 200 SEK / month ISP fee and make it legal to copy things. But I assume the idea is/will be just like the CD tax. Pay for something you're not allowed to and still aren't... "Hey, you'll pirate on this CD / on your Internet connection, you better pay for not having the right to do so!"
Awesome..
If it was an enforced "information spread tax" then I guess I could be fine with it.
You already got an answer from someone else. But yeah, for the creatures with shells like snails and maybe corals and such I read somewhere they got thinner sells, but as the other person said that was probably from "carbonated water" so to speak.
You still have a couple of points are probably right in that US prisons are atleast better than chinese ones. And even of what I am, or well, I don't hate the US, but your prisons don't seem to work too great and I've got the impression lots of people are in prison thanks to drug (ab)use and nothing very serious.
Anyway:
but they're not as disease-ridden as China's.
So everything is fine then;)
I like the prison Norway had, probably not for the badest of badasses, but anyway. Island outside of Oslo, 3-4 km to the shore of Oslo if I remember things right. You spend your prison time on the island, have a house to live in, no fences, no guards, can even swin over to Oslo and escape if you wanted to, but if you do and they catch you the next time you probably don't get to live on the same island.
Anyway, think summer vaccation, think greenhouses and growing crops, outdoor baths, non-asphalted roads, bicycle tours or whatever. A true escape from the harsh life you may eventually had lived before and a place to get perspective on life / how you want to live it.
The guy running the prison seemed weird though, I think one of the inmates had killed his parents (the prison chief) with a chainsaw or something such, and now he let him work with a chainsaw in the forrest... Talk about giving them the other cheek (or whatever the biblical sentence would be in english), he must have some issues in his brain himself to:)

People don't seem to be able to agree ;)
I doubt they where into it for the money. It's ideology and because you can.
And yeah, you could put ads on the site to.
It's not like they where charging for others content or had member fees or such.
Mac people ...

Will someone please think of preserving our culture?
Piracy is part of who we are ;)
Copyright infringement (theoretically) takes money out of the pockets of the holders
You got it all wrong.
Copyright holders want to take the money out of the peoples pockets.
Pirate bay help prevent that.
That one should be with spears and pitchforks ;)
Now I won't pay my bills in case they are frauds and I'm helping them out! :D
But in Sweden you don't pay money to pay for the crime you have permitted but rather for the damages.
And IP is much more valuable than peoples life :)

Anyway, he paid the money.
If not in this case in what cases?
They don't support it more than our LKAB and SSAB support knife murder.
They just say "That's not our problem go fuck yourself! We aren't breaching any copyright."
Rather not dealing with it.

Though I kinda haven't downloaded shit for years.
It seem to render my web page* just fine! ;D
(* not very recent but not _THAT_ old ;), still: Renders perfectly!)
Chrome is Webkit based.
But I agree.

Good thing he didn't P2P them. The amount would have run into the trillions.
I wonder what the US military price their Iraq and Afghanistan reports at ;)
