FBI will set up a covert action obviously. They will pretend to be someone with the highest bid who wants to buy it. They will pay, then follow the money trail, then revert the bank transfer, just like you do with your credit cards.
It's weird. But when I download their binary.tar.gz there's a COPYING.txt file, and OneSwarm's license is GPLv2. Then why are they blocking downloading of source?
I assigned F12 hotkey to quickly toggle javascript on/off. I don't need a hotkey to toggle java on/off because I use it so rarely, that I can go to menu and click to enable it.
huh? I read a wikipedia article just once. If I see a mistake I just correct it and forget it. I'm not reading it once per week, that would be a stupid waste of time.
So far, currently graphic card is the only serious issue on linux, for me. I'm happy that AMD released open source ATI drivers, but still they are crap. When university asks me what hardware to buy new students for working with yade I tell them - whatever, but make sure that it has nvidia card and shh.. you could consider AMD too;)
Sometimes a clueless grad student comes and is wondering why yade works like crap, and I see instantly - it's the graphics card. Good for us, that all serious computations are done remotely on a cluster without graphics at all. OpenGL is used only for setting-up the calculations etc..
Posting all links & info in my OP would be karma whoring. But apparently you are too lazy to do some research yourself, if you don't wanna know, why should I care about you? But I care about pandora, and that's only why I will give you links to ubuntu running on pandora devboard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOPNurKei0I - Which proves that ubuntu indeed is running on ARM.
Which has been just received by the hardware guy for final testing - and he has a crappy camera as you can see. Now they will be ordering keypads (you see the keys aren't there yet), then a final version of CNC case to test it, then head to mass production. This process will take about one/two months from now.
It's perfect for me. I paid upfront and I'm glad that I managed to do it before everyone else - all 4000 units were sold in 3 days, when preordering started. Now go back to you whining somewhere else.
yeah, my wallet is too big, but I never get around to slim it.
The keyboard on Pandora is of course too small for writing essays, it's worse than the EEE's one. I just prefer Pandora because it's not possible to carry EEE in pants' pocket.
yep, Pandora fills this niche. 0.3kg, ARM, 10h battery, runs ubuntu just normally. But it's very small, only a 4.3" screen 800x480. About the size of DS. http://openpandora.org/
It's just a startup now, people did preorders (by preordering it means that you are trusting them;) and it will be delivered about March or April. I expect that by the end of the year they will be selling it in online shops in a usual way.
It's a perfect UMPC for me, a really "mobile" PC, smaller than my wallet, actually.
They will ship somewhere around April or March. That's the whole point of pre-ordering. See the videos, like for example the last one, of a prototype (there are other movies as well, with working ubuntu, openoffice, gimp, etc.. - see the links in OP), which is now heading into mass production.
The OpenPandora guys were wise enough to not take any loans from banks, and so they are safe now despite the worldwide financial crisis. Instead they let people to make preorders about three months ago. People who don't trust, were not required to preorder;) Their servers almost overloaded when preordering started, anyway. They sold about 1000 units in first 10h (or so - this post was written 17 hours after preordering started). And the first batch is just 4000 units. If you keep your eye on it, maybe you will be lucky to get one from the second batch, there are lots of people who want it.
This kind of news got pretty popular lately. There was at least one similar story past week. And it's logical (and boring too). Of course some random stuff will fail in 2009, because we have a global recession. Now every kind of journalists are trying to make predictions, which is like playing lotto (for those journalists who are stupid and can't really make an indepth analysis, which is way too difficult, anyway). Then in 2010 it will turn out that some random journalist was right, and he will win the prize "I was right!". Meh.

Or something similar to that.

And also, it's written in java. Bleh.
This is actually quite obvious. Does he enlighten us about how those media are going to evolve? Tthis part isn't obvious.

yep, thank you! ...and I wonder why this story is tagged !etacarinae
you [...] give up [...] reading them.

And also due to poor economy, otherwise they wouldn't support cheaper DDR2.
I get the impression that you have no idea what package management is, and how good it is for grand-pas and grand-moms.
But it has a touchpad.
Oh, I just noticed that Pandora is on engadget now.

I have preordered the Pandora console and I'm happy. It gives me about 10h of running Ubuntu on an ARM cpu in a mere 0.3 kg of weight.
Oh thre's also an unofficial blog and a video vault. You might like the forums too.
I never tried invitations, but you can try http://www.claws-mail.org/faq/index.php/Connecting_to_MS_Exchange
Using a EVGA 780i mainboard, it was not crushingly faster than a trio of velociraptors.
Practical question - if you buy this ANS-9010 and 8 cheapest 4GB ram sticks - is it cheaper than three velociraptors?
Then prove it - what is the security code on the back?
Get prepared for ads, then.

I'm a libertarian, when I lose an argument I say: "you're right".
the amount of 'A' letters - is it strictly specified as 10+/-1? Tag has 9, you had 11.
I had to befriend you for that. I hope you don't mind. Thanks.
