They run rsync over SSH, and you can even backup to an encrypted USB/eSata disk. All standard linux, so you can read the result on any linux system. And since they run linux, you can tweak as much as you like:)
How about becoming standard SIP compliant? Combined with a jabber client.... Empathy already combines these things well. All platforms offer standard SIP compliant programs (ok, unsure about Apple, SIP might be too open for them)
Let me give you one FACT to prove that the media are creating hysteria based on ignorance: How many of the articles mention that the radiation comes from iodine, which has a half-life of 8 days? They'll need a lot more radioactive releases to create ghost towns for here to eternity....
This is a prime example of journalists creating hysteria based on their ignorance. The scale on their device never went over 100uS/hr - that's MICRO-Sieverts.... To put this in perspective, read http://xkcd.com/radiation/
Indeed, it is the other way around...
As I said, the only reason capasitive touchscreens are popular are because a certain company hyped it up as the next big thing, just like they currently do with overspecced displays
Sorry, the screen on my n900 is more than bright enough, and I even added an extra screenprotector on top!
Time to look at what the technology has come to today....
This is EXACTLY why I love my n900 so much... resistive touchscreen, transflective LCD. Who started that stupid capacitive touchscreen hype anyway?
I use my n900 a lot, day in, day out. The resistive touchscreen is NEVER a problem. Being able to scribble things down with a stylus, however...
So what? There are SOOOOO many companies gathering data on you, even the shop where you buy food tries to log your items under your name. Who complains about that? Nobody.
Were you by any chance looking for a target for some Google bashing? They may not do SIP (yet), but they do use xmlpp (jabber). Why don't you go complaining about that closed protocol of MSN? Ha!
I just got an N810, and I'm loving it. As a double-plus, you can actually get a used one cheap now that everybody is buying an N900.
Oh please don't. My n810 is frustrating me like hell whenever I try to do anything else on it than read email, chat or open *simple* webpages. It is underpowered and unsupported (no future updates for you), the only good thing about it is the display.
Actually, I try not to use a mobile phone, and certainly not wear it on me. In any case, the mobile would still be at least 2-3cm away from the body, but when it is in the tissue, we're talking 1cm and less...
EEEK... I wouldn't want to wear a transmitting antenna *on* my body with the antenna being on the exact same spot the whole time... Sound like this hasn't been thought out very well.
Just put a NAS like the QNAP TS-809 (8-drive) at a remote location. It talks rsync, and that's all you need. It's available as standalone, rackmount and redundant PSU, and is more affordable than a big RAID box.
Do the first rsync with the NAS next to your server, move it offsite afterwards;)
I just got myself a QNAP NAS (http://www.qnap.com/) on which all my systems backup. That NAS gets replicated to a USB disk from time to time, and I keep that disk offsite. My plan is to get rid of the USB disk and buy a second QNAP NAS to put at the remote site, and let them replicate over the internet. Reason: I can schedule that so it is not forgotten, and no more hassle of moving disks offsite. Reason I went with QNAP: runs linux and is hackable out of the box:)
I made the (probably bad) move to linux when upgrading my PC recently (the windows install was getting so old the new hardware didn't bring extra speed if you know what I mean)
So far I've been fighting against it to find suitable apps to replace the stuff I used on windows.
1) Sound: some apps seem to want to use another soundsystem as what is configured in the settings. The end result is *always* that sound stops working and I need to reboot it. The linux crowd has always laughed at windows because of its reboot needs, so this came as a surprise. I don't care about some archaic init.d command to restart a subsystem. It should just work.
2) VOIP: had gizmo under windows and it worked great. It uses a SIP proxy for the voice stuff (obviously) and a jabber server for presence and chat. I have been through a dozen different clients, and so far *none* actually work completely. There's always something vital missing. I'm evaluating empathy right now, it handles the chat ok, but it has sound problems (either not sending or receiving. Very weird). I tried QuteCom too, but when I enter the the jabber server it says unknown host. Yes I typed it correctly. Does anybody ever test the crap they release these days. Not even alpha quality!
3) Note application. I'm a file freak. I have my data organized in a nice directory tree, even so for my notes. On windows, I used TOMBO (freeware, which also existed for my PDA) and which also organizes its notes in a folder structure. Supports encryption using blowfish. On linux, there is not one note app that can deal with a tree of documents or even import it. The most interesting one (notecase) has gone payware, and even that wouldn't be ok. They have an N810 version however, which is why I would be ok with it. But I'm not going to enter all the notes again (not this many!).
4) graphics apps. I'll run photoshop in a VM, thank you. Gimp is utter crap, it wasn't even able to render some text correctly (half the area was greyed, couldn't see it. Had to use print preview to look at my work.
Shall I continue?
The *major* problem IMHO is all these competing little open source groups thinking their little app and way of thinking is better, resulting in a ton of similar apps of which non works properly. What this needs is somebody with a bit of vision (and quality minded) to merge these groups and guide them to create one or maybe two great applications that work.
Linux won't be ready for the big crowd unless the software quality comes up to a decent level.

oops....
So what are parents who have a 5 day workweek going to do? Hire a babysitter on friday? This may work out for older kids, not the younger ones....

They never risked their lives at all
yes, and I have also seen this at work in the parking garage of the main railway station of Innsbruck (Austria), almost two years ago.
Maybe the French 'researchers' went on holiday and just copied ideas? This certainly is not NEWS to me....

Could the browser marketshare be related to spam levels? US is a much bigger spammer, meaning more zombie computers. Easier hacked due to running IE?

Since they bought Gizmo, I guess pretty soon ;)

Let's correct my support claim a small bit: There is actually good news for the n8x0, it's called Mer (http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer)
I just got an N810, and I'm loving it. As a double-plus, you can actually get a used one cheap now that everybody is buying an N900.

Exactly, it maps to the way *you* say it.
We say "1 april 2010" so DD/MM/YYYY is more logical.

haha.. I know I can use a filebrowser, but I want the notes content to appear on the right side of the tree. And support for encryption...
