Not true, unless you are billiarded off the street. Someone in a rear-ended Smart does have a problem, but from the sides & front, it is incredibly sturdy. They are using the same crash boxes to eat up energy as F1 cars.

I noticed a small icon in the upper right. I clicked it and could turn of dynamic this and bullshit that. Now, everything is back to normal. I am using the text version though. YMMV.
The irony is that with Qt, the userland started to look good for Symbian.
Though the _real_ problem is the fragmentation. And I am not talking Steve Jobs make-believe fragmentation. When I still used to follow Nokia & the Ovi blogs closely, they would announce Application X which is available for Symbian 5 devices, second release, fourth generation, with touchscreen and the optional chicken attachment. The E75 still does not have free navigation even though it supports Ovi Maps in its newest iteration. Etc, etc.
Long story short? My E75 (which can do email, web, you name it) has a broken SIM card and is used as my alarm. The HTC Desire is used more than my laptop for pretty much everything. And I am hoping to migrate to Meego in the long run as more open is better. Always.
PS: I know that Meego needed to move fast (har har), but going with RPM over DEB was a dire mistake.
The guy obviously did the right thing, but how could he see the driver was slumped over the wheel after he passed him? Though that is most likely the reporter's fault.
While true, if my upstreams and their peers don't filter me correctly, I could take down half the Internet with just enough/64 from my/32 to kill routers with less than 2 GB of RAM.
Most smaller networks and the edge routers of the big players will not be able to cope with this amount while the core will happily hold the routes in memory, spreading the problem.
> Also the non-trivial point that by having "played fair" ahead of any mandatory deadlines, Interop will be in a good position to go to the back of the queue for mandatory stripping of unused blocks.
No such thing will happen to pre-RIR prefixes. They are completely unregulated other than "whoever has the password for the maintainer object". And the large players with large assignments have been keeping it this way for the last years.
So no, there will not be any mandatory giving back.
Also, this space is not filled, but most likely fragmented. Renumbering is far from trivial. I renumbered a/17, I know what I am talking about.
Finally, even if everyone gave back their unused prefixes, this would buy a year or two, tops.
I don't have an account, yet some people apparently uploaded their address book to FB. I had someone send me an invitation and sure enough, said invitation listed people I know, telling me they are on FB and how awesome my life will become once I open an account.
While you can opt out of this, this means FB still has your confirmed email address on file; maybe to be leaked by some means at some point.
Why would they sell/24's only? The people who have been hoarding IPv4 space (and there are several who have been at it for years) understand aggregation.
As to why those people did not hoard? Altruism. Kudos to them.

That, or because the people with mod points understood that you are merely trolling an engineer for business-level decisions.
The fact that you are unable to use a non-default DNS server is not his fault. And trolling this person _in a thread which talks about DNS faking being phased out_.... Instant classic. Or -1 troll.

Gah, disregard my parent. I glitched a line.
1) You lose easy access to the largest repository on Earth (Debian's). And Debian has a dedicated ARMel distribution. This is _massive_
2) When I still used RPM-based distros, I could make the package DB go boom by just installing/uninstalling stuff
3) I know how to package DEBs. Not true for RPM.
4) The decission was made behind closed doors.
5) I use Debian for laptops, desktops, servers, I would prefer to use Debian-esque on my mobile.
In that case, sorry. Yet, I replied to how I read what you wrote.
> all that torque at low revs
My BMW 320d has shit torque in the low RPMs. But it spins up to 5000. Don't ask me why/how, but that's how it is.
And I can create more torque with a nuke. Your point being?
That neither your spanner nor my nuke fit into a car and can power it consistently and independently over long distances? Ah, I see.
Boy, am I glad I am using Metric. I never even thought of this in this context.
My BMW 320d spins up to 5000. It's torque at low RPMs sucks, though. And yes, it drives "like on gas".

Nokia 1616
Nokia 1800
Have fun :)
In that case, it's a good thing that BMW and Audi are already using Meego for their under development car computers.
High-end cars is a market worth chasing.

My bunny is clearly superior to yours. Also, it acts as a Kirby if need be.

Pray tell me: Whose standards will those products follow once there is only one mobile OS that matters?

Support, implement, test & deploy IPv6. Now.

> The reason Android can be relied upon to play nice, is that, as the only one of the platforms with open code access
1) Android is not truly open
2) Maemo/Meego
(I use Android, but hope to be able to switch back once Nokia/Intel get their stuff together)
Hopefully a lot. That makes his comment being modded -1 Troll all the more funny.
Good job calling him out on it :)
And by "special offer" you mean "not being forced to buy what you don't need"?
Why would they sell /24's only? The people who have been hoarding IPv4 space (and there are several who have been at it for years) understand aggregation.

> We've known this was coming for years. Do you really think adding on another month is going to do a single thing?
Yes. More people will think that others will do the same and we can get by another year or ten.
Still, massive kudos to Interop.
True. I was focussing on the "moral" sense, not the "historic" sense, but yes, you are correct and my comment implied otherwise. Thanks :)
