I read an article once where someone had won an award for founding a website - can't remember which.
It basically amounted to backpackers taking your stuff on their next flight with the possibility of a reward on the other end. e.g. sending a parcel of warm clothes for winter and having the recipient pick up the traveller from the airport as a thank you. Of course it relies on the trust of said backpacker!:)
e.g. A package by canadian airmail (mostly of sentimental junk) cost me about $CA60 to Australia and took 7 weeks. A traveller flying to Melbourne from Vancouver would have had it delivered in a day and a half.
perhaps I shouldn't reply to anonymous trolls but anyway...
I'm intrigued by running Firefox on bare metal but the specs for that phone are so, like, 2010. yes, I know it's for the developing world and all...
I have a gingerbread era Galaxy Ace that has a similar Qualcomm SoC, so maybe it could be ported without much fuss. One day I'll check out the git repository!
Sure but this is Mozilla we're talking about. Their whole modus operandi now is to augment the browser for their Firefox OS project in which there are no 'native' programs.
Does Brazil even make smartphones? duties are designed to make the cost of imported goods prohibitive when compared to a local product. But if said local product doesn't exist, it's just a tax grab.
A golden opportunity for a local Brazilian to assemble phones awaits. Get the parts made in China, ship them duty free via a China-Brazil free trade agreement and assemble them in Brazil. Designed in Brazil and assembled in factories using cheap Brazilian labour should pass the locally made test, no?
Well the issue is Android targetted Java 6 at inception, which is no excuse for not updating Android to match whatever security Oracle now supports in Java 7 and the forthcoming Java 8.
Not forgetting the sugar war of 1812 against the Canadians. Maple Syrup - by annexing the province of Quebec and they'd have had a sustainable sucrose source!
My laptop is a work-supplied core i7. The phone has better battery life.
My home desktop is a dumpster-dived 2004 era P4 3GHz, adequate for most tasks. A modern phone's internal storage would better a 4200rpm drive and its GPU would spank 9yo intel graphics and decode video in hardware.
So the answer is, on raw computing stick with Intel/AMD. For everything else, the day is fast approaching. But how does docking work? Micro-USB is hardly convenient if, heaven forbid, you want to use the device as a phone (sans headset) or leave it in your pocket for bathroom/smoking/coffee/lunch breaks throughout the day or meetings. Perhaps it's the era of thin clients where the computing power is now one's smartphone over wifi.
define 'linking'. Yes, I know the traditional sense...
The implied context is that a website is the sum of its parts. HTML/CSS/JS/images are all load by the browser, which parses each URL embedded in the html document and invokes an interpreter for each, whose results are combined to form a web page, with the JS dynamically manipulating the DOM produced from the HTML.
A lawyer for the prosecution would argue that this runtime combination constitutes a derivative work. Just sayin'...
We have a widespread activist party, the Greens. By all and sundry, they're tainted the 'loony left' and attract about 10% of the vote.
Thus effectively, going mainstream forces once to sell out. But in Garrett's case he was an ineffective environment minister, sidelined as the climate change policy was given to an unknown and abandoned his views on US imperialism and uranium.
For many the current infrastructure is adequate (e.g. 3 of my 4 aunts don't have the internet). Trying to explain to them that the reason after a storm that the phone becomes crackly or to others why their ADSL drops out because the copper wiring needs replacing at the cost of $1b/year goes over their heads.
Then there's 40% of the population who have always voted for the coalition... The NBN ain't a vote changer to most swinging voters.
The Uncle-Rupert article you linked to mentions an absurd claim high speed internet is a major health risk because of disturbing asbestos-laden pits in the process of replacing copper with fibre.
Quite rightly Conroy called it out as ridiculous. These same pits would need to be accessed in laying fibre-to-the-node.
I know Mint comes in both Ubuntu and debian flavours but the Ubuntu version might become sidelined if X support falls into maintenance and Ubuntu doesn't carry a functioning Wayland release.
(I'll verify which flavours are mirrored by my ISP!)
I thought the trouble started with the Mir project announcement that spread half-truths about Wayland's architecture, which the Wayland devs convey that no one from Canonical really commenced a dialogue on its capabilities. The 'deranged kwin dev' may be another story but as kubuntu is no longer a Canonical sponsored effort, it's a big ask for volunteers to upstream patches for a platform that, so far, only one distro uses and may bloat the architecture.
Canonical have had a public flamewar with KDE & Wayland devs about the existence of Mir.
KDE also have Plasma Active on Wayland in the pipeline, which would be a competitor to their tablet offering.
Hence the don't want to give legitimacy to the enemy.

Most of my female acquaintances thought the policy was sexist along the lines of why random women should be singled out to child-mind someone else's bratty terrors... Sux to be a woman.:)
Well as someone else suggested, do an immersion course if you have a couple of months.you'll learn heaps about culture and history than just reading lonely planet.
I was planning on doing that in Montreal next month but tales of a bastardised language on here, hmmm.

Anyone know if the site still exists?
well as I understand it, its all HTML rendered to the framebuffer using ogl es.

Easier said than done. The majority of the world's electronics components are made in Asia.

32-bit is the norm on phones and tablets. This company is best known for their mobile GPU found in such products - PowerVR.
Well the issue is Android targetted Java 6 at inception, which is no excuse for not updating Android to match whatever security Oracle now supports in Java 7 and the forthcoming Java 8.
Yep and the government hoodwinked the majority of the population as an election stunt that we don't need no NBN...
Yep, the sugar war of 1898 against the Spanish.

In late-breaking news, Garrett resigned from parliament today.
Conroy will still be there on the backbench, just not as communications minister.

Smell the flamebait.

Superior alternatives to websphere? Guess what, redhat owns jboss.
R&D takes time; perhaps the concept and design preceded the ability of the A7?
From the summary, it seems based on an off-the-shelf OMAP, similarly found in the Beagleboard series whose community it can lure.
