I confirm this story is bunk, and anyone who is carrying this story should be ashamed (I am looking at you Engadget and Slashdot).
Go and download "holiday_devphone-userdebug 1.1" image, paid apps will show up fine because it has the features of the Tmobile g33 firmware required to see paid apps. I shouldn't need to google that for you...
The thing is, the ADP1 does not come with support, the original ADP1 firmware does not update automatically. As a developer and ADP1 owner one should be able to keep up with the news and figure this stuff out for oneself.
Macports prepends 'g' or 'gnu' to the gnu system utilities, so it is 'guname' instead of 'uname'. That is fine, except any script which requires the GNU version won't work (if the OSX version is incompatible). Fink and OSX utilities don't stomp on each other because the PATH environment is set for shells (Fink installs in/sw), so which ever utility the shell sees first it will use. I have never had any instances of applications misbehaving because it uses the wrong utility (but my guess is few use command-line utilities). If you are using scripts specifically written for OSX/BSD you might have problems tho. xargs is an example of a utility which for some reason has fewer options in OSX - it would be nice if operating systems could stick to using GNU utilities, it would make cross-platform scripting so much easier.
Personally I use both: Fink to install system utilities and editors, and MacPorts for applications and libraries.
FINK = pre-built packages (+ for me but maybe - for others) + standard utility names (find is find, xargs is xargs) - older versions of libraries can produce compilation issues - fewer packages available
MACPORTS = must compile (gcc 3.4 won't compile on new systems... bleh) - utility names are non-standard so system utilities are still available + never had a problem with getting out-dated libraries + more packages available
Off-topic, but it is possible to use FF2/flash(7&9!)/java on a AMD64 system w/ *Ubuntu:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537&hi ghlight=flash+java+firefox
I have been doing it since 6.06, because the 64-bit version of Firefox had broken javascript. I hate when the package maintainers think they are smarter than the people who developed the application.
Also, Edgy is much easier to install TV-Tuner cards in:

Although I haven't done it on a 64-bit system, it was way easier setting up my mythbox than on 5.10.
Since I stated that the waste is buried beneath the bedrock, I think it's safe to assume that I understand that it's stored underground;).
The shielding is a few hundred meters of rock, so it will take a while to decay. And there is plenty of stable rock around the world - don't put the darn thing near a geologically active area.
A hundred meters of solid granite is surprisingly good at keeping water from getting to the surface. Especially if you make the walls of the burial chamber from rustproof steel or some other suitable matter.
Actually nothing is *currently* undergound. The proposed storage site for nuclear waste is Yucca Mountain. As you can read from the link the rock is not granite, but volcanic. I am not a geologist but it doesn't sound perfectly stable either. Rain would be the main vehicle for moving the nuclear material, if it weren't for the pressence of fissures it could take thousands of years to reach the ground water.
I think the bigger problem logistically, is moving all of the waste from their temporary storage sites (not underground) to this proposed storage site available in 2017, maybe.
The "(n00b-friendly) installer" was the biggest mistake. I have a modern (2 year old AMD64) system and the LiveCD installer ran dog slow (maybe because it was written to a CD-RW). I can't imagine anyone with an old computer running it. I had to go and download the text based installer to save my sanity. They should at least give the option of doing a text-based install on the LiveCD.
This sounds like a nifty feature, but one of those things that would never be implemented.
One of the wonderful things about Firefox extensions is that you only need to know a little Javascript. If you don't have any programming skills it might be best to approach an online community like Cambrian House or Experts Exchange.

Personally, I would use this to check out my route BEFORE getting in the car, as that's when I'd need to know which route to take.
Right... because traffic jams are static.
Haven't you ever been on a long road trip, and wondered how long the jam was, or if there was a better highway to take?

Hmmm, so that would make it physically communist, but virtualy capitalist.
Sounds like anarchy in the making to me.
