What percentage of Apache hosts run on Windows? I'd guess maybe 10%, a generous estimate. This isn't something that's going to bring the entire web down. Also, wouldn't you have to enable mod_isapi manually?
Was it an ATA drive? Did it not support a Host Protected Area? With HPA, you can set the drive to whatever size you want. Also, you could probably get an adapter and use a 128MB CompactFlash card.
The N900 has 256MB actual RAM, plus 768MB swap on an internal MMC card. It has to have more memory because unlike the iPhone and Android, applications must be explicitly closed (by closing the window) before they are unloaded.
The internal storage card is split into three partitions: 2GiB app storage, 768MiB swap, 25GiB user. The reason the app storage is separate is because it is formatted ext3, but the user storage must be formatted FAT for Windows hosts to access it through USB Mass Storage. Some applications (games, mostly) do install large data files there, though.
I'm still not convinced. There is still a lot that needs to be implemented, such as context-sensitive menus. I have not been able to find a way to save a link or an image, and it's only by trial and error that I was able to open a link in a new tab (open the keyboard, hold ctrl, wait for message about new tab, open tab bar, click on new tab).
The mock-ups I found here look good, but they are a long way from actually being implemented.
Odd... I installed it 30 minutes ago from the official repository (firefox.com/m, download link). I clicked the "get add-ons" on the welcome screen and it only gave two options (URL fixer and some location add-on). Even the weave button on the welcome screen did not work.
Going to the actual add-on site showed 3 add-ons (the two above plus weave). I spent about 10 minutes looking for adblock (most of that waiting for it to become responsive after freezing) and gave up. I didn't see a button for a new tab, but it probably just wasn't intuitive.
I will try the latest nightly before I pass judgement again.
The current beta is far worse than the native Maemo browser (itself based on Firefox):
- No inertial scrolling.
- One window per instance, no tabs. This is a deal killer. I don't necessarily need tabs, but opening a separate instance for each page I want to view simultaneously is unacceptable.
- Extremely slow to start and load pages.
- Package is not "optified" - it installs to the device root instead of/opt, taking 20MB out of 256 available in the root.
- Currently there are only three add-ons not marked "experimental" and even in experimental there's no AdBlock Plus (at least, that I can find).
Hopefully, these problems will be fixed, but for now, I'm staying with the native Maemo browser.
Video drivers generally include kernel components, so you would have to emulate a lot of the kernel's internal functions, either in the kernel or through some sort of virtualization. That would be unneccesary, though, because NVidia already provides drivers that work in Linux, they're just not open.
How much will this really affect communication? If I recall, the last wave of protests mostly used Twitter, which doesn't exactly use a whole heap of bandwith? I could see this affecting Youtube, but it won't stop communication.
According to Microsoft, the Windows kernel improperly parses Embedded OpenType (EOT) fonts, which are a compact form of fonts designed for use on Web pages.
So, does this mean they're going to have some draconian lockdown that prevents tetherbot from working? T-Mobile doesn't like it either, but it works even on a non-developer G1.
I can testify that bad ram is likely the culprit. I had a single bit get flipped in one of my apt database files. If it were a filesystem issue, it would likely affect whole blocks, not bits.
The comment where the md5sum was constantly changing has the distinct odor of a memory problem. When it "stabilized" it was probably due to being flushed out to disk.
Keep in mind that a memory error in high memory (>1GB) will most likely result in the disk cache being corrupted: process memory won't be affected until you launch something big.

That's the best part about running 32-bit flash: it runs in a separate process, so you can kill it when it goes wonky without restarting the browser. Just refresh the page with the plugin and it will be restarted.
I have a server here that take 65 seconds to even show the BIOS screen. It takes another 60 seconds to even start the bootloader.
Sometimes it feels like the extraterrestrial object it's named after is going to burn out before the thing boots.
I heard the folks at Canonical are working on an Android execution environment for Ubuntu, so you can run Android apps in a real environment. Somebody out there will port this to Maemo, and there will be no reason to have a phone that runs Android natively.

Now, if they just create the face-stab model...

There goes my plan to port Custer's Revenge to the iPhone.
You also can't use long press to open a menu on a link. No portrait mode, no drag from left to hover, no select mode.
Until Firefox implements these, I'll stick with the Maemo browser.
They need to change the name... How about

The card users' rage was effected by the bug, not the cards themselves.

Why run Android? Why not run Maemo? Between Symbian, Maemo, and now Android, it looks like Nokia is spreading itself a little thin.
Although, if Nokia's interest in Android means we get a subsystem to run Android apps on Maemo, maybe it's not such a bad idea.

Reminds me of this ad for AT&T.
Maybe "disconnect" is a code word for something far more sinister.
According to Microsoft, the Windows kernel improperly parses Embedded OpenType (EOT) fonts, which are a compact form of fonts designed for use on Web pages.
One question: Why is the kernel parsing fonts?

Artificial intelligence at its worst.
