Notice these names? This is the disappointing aspect to all of this, it is one more new reason that Chrome is x86 and primarily Windows
I hope that Chromium's multi-platform support does improve (the Linux port is getting better and better every day), but I think that this particular example is doesn't affect the multi-platform situation. Windows is (for the foreseeable future) by far the most significant install base. I'm assuming this was done to decrease Google's bandwidth costs. Linux/Mac (or ARM/PPC) could receive the traditional binary diffs without making a noticeable impact on bandwidth.
I also have an n800. FBreader does great for ebooks, but I've found that the PDF reader is way too slow to read books (it takes a second or two to turn the page, which feels a bit agonizing to me).
Since nobody actually pays for developers to work on libc, you end you with whoever crazy people will actually work on it. So while the fork is a good thing, it's probably just going to be more of the same.
Actually, I think that Redhat pays Ulrich to work on glibc.
You can tether fine on android. It's my understanding that, unlike the iphone, android allows you to install applications from anywhere (not just the iphone), so you can still install it here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I think the inspiring aspect of the OLPC was the price. I remember seeing lots of awesome mini-laptops in Asia, but they were extremely expensive (moreso than a full-sized laptop).
Man what is w/ programmers that use nano? (there are a couple guys at my work using it... I thought it was a joke at first). Anyway, real editors (vi/emacs) or even command-line tools can reformat that code for you.
I own a few of the samsung players, which I'm happy with. One player that I've seen mentioned here previously that I'm really interested in is the Meizu Mini 6 Slim. It supports all the ogg/flac/mp3/etc. and it's relatively inexpensive.
I've done this several times before as well (it's great for remote peer-programming), but unfortunately you can't both be editing the file simultaneously.
I think the behavior of "u" that you're describing is VIPER specific--More traditional vi's have generally used ^R for redo, AFAIK. (Or maybe I've just been spoiled by vim).
I bought a YP-Z5 which supports OGG (I've been really happy with it--the last firmware update gave it 50+ hours of playback). That said, the newer models, don't support OGG (or at least in America--I've read there's some controversy there involving Microsoft). I bought a YP-K3 for my wife, and it's MP3 only.
More interestingly - SHOULD any government in the world? From a security standpoint, they'd be able to get a massive intelligence advantage and as such it'd be rather stupid not to take advantage of it.
This is the classic security vs. civil rights argument. I can't speak for *any* government in the world, but traditionally, the answer for America would be a resounding "No!" (I realize this may not hold for George Bush's America)
It's true, instead they have traffic lights almost everywhere. In the couple years I lived there, I only saw one or two stop signs, and those were privately made ones in parking lots.
The fact that OS X is "built on a Unix core" doesn't help run mac apps on Linux. The libraries and windowing system aren't compatible. There are projects like GNUstep that implement the OpenSTEP standard, but as far as I know they don't shoot for binary compatibility (or extensions Apple has made to the API in Mac OS X). It's highly unlikely they'd be running the Mac version of itunes.
My guess is that it isn't running itunes at all. Maybe it's just using rhythmbox or something.
This isn't really true of an upgrade from Mysql 4.x -> 5.x. MySQL changed some things (notably their JOIN syntax) to make them more compliant with the ANSI standards. So assuming you're dealing w/ PHP/MySQL programmers that only knew the MySQL way to do joins, their applications may break on upgrade.

I disagree. The only place manager's I know get their tech info is from CNET publications like eWeek. Although I don't read eWeek religiously, I'll flip through it occasionally when I'm at work, and I see articles talking about Ruby on Rails frequently.

Not sure what the country has to do with it, but Acer is also Taiwanese.
It has always been possible to do a system-wide Chrome installation through Google Pack (chrome install guide)

I'm really excited for chromium, but I can't get any pages to load with it on Intrepid. Hopefully the next update works better.
Yeah, epiphany is this way too. Definitely a non-issue.
jQuery should use the native stuff where available (that is how their selector engine works currently)

Mass storage in this context is referring to this:

Which the ipod does not support.
Thanks a lot for making me want to spend more money. That thing looks awesome. Now what do I do with my other two MP3 players?

Impossible? Going to the computer and hitting pause on the bittorrent client sounds *remarkably* possible. Convenient may be another story.
You're mistaken. It was the University of Utah that made the false cold-fusion claims.

Any idea if this maglev stuff is free (as in speech)? It looks like it might just be a closed-source commercial offering?
