Turn by turn navigation is available on Mappero, though I haven't tried it myself. This is am example of one freely available program that surpasses and replaces a built-in program. And why do you want Android ported to the N900?
They're thinking long term: why spend $X to bring in $Y when you can spend 0.1X now and 0.9X later, to bring in 10Y later? The N900 is just an expensive prototype - the fully realised device will be more awesome and, due to the additional marketing, much cheaper (I presume).
The N900 isn't very popular because Nokia never intended for it to be an iPhone killer. The N900 is a research device - a public prototype. This was even more true of the N8x0 (which almost no one had heard of before the N900). With each release the platform matures and gains more features. Speaking as an N900 owner, it is a great device that is completely open. The only time I have ever met constraints with it is when I tried to do things one would not normally do with a phone. e.g. RDP/VNC (works fine, but the high res screen is a disadvantage for this) and printing. (Also, the keyboard can be a little fiddly at first.) Most of the builtin features can be easily replaced with better performing and more functional alternatives by installing free apps from a Debian-style repository, including the kernel. I'd recommend against getting one right now though, since Nokia is close to releasing it's successor. Personally, I won't be upgrading since the N900 is flexible enough to meet all my needs (and can easily be extended to do so).
Unfortunately, our political system just isn't setup for this. We now have 4 independents holding the major parties hostage for their pet causes. One of the nationals even tried to get himself reclassified as an independent just so he could have a share of the power. And as for the Greens, there policies are even worse than Labour's from an economic viewpoint. Shutting off the coal power plants without a viable alternative will absolutely decimate the economy. Until now, they've never had the power to push them through, but with a hung parliament...
But without the full size keyboard+screen and processing power of a desktop. Good for some applications (e.g. students, maybe if you need to do some math on the go), but for most a laptop/desktop with Maple would be a better solution.
What if you want games on both? This would be especially true if you do any kind of cross-platform development. Plus, if you share a computer with others it's often not feasible to require them to startup a VM to use Windows. The main reason my system dual boots Windows is as a backup - if I need Linux functionality or my Windows installation is screwed up, then I can use Linux instead. Windows is still the primary OS, so dual booting is still the best choice.
TIs are the standard amongst students where I live, I always thought that serious engineers use *computers* with MATLAB, Maple, etc.
Actually, this reminds me of a story I heard about a classmate a few years ago. He actually dropped his TI-89 (same one as shown here) out of a 2 story high window. The case was cracked but apart from that the calculator worked fine.
Personally, I think that model is the best one so far. It had full programming capabilities paired with tech. The new NSpires have a higher res screen, but they're not as easy to use because the interface is much more advanced and relies on a cursor. Additionally, programs are limited to BASIC, unlike the 89s which supported programs written in assembly (and TI even provided an IDE to write them in, IIRC).
They haven't, because (as far as I am aware) no one has ever been sued for downloading content - all the cases thus far have been for uploading, usually due to the way in which Kazaa shares all downloaded files by default. I don't know if anyone has ever been sued for seeding a torrent when they were not the initial seeder. This is due to the nature of copyright law - one infringes copyright by reproducing a work, and only an uploader can do that (as the downloader doesn't have a copy to reproduce). Simply downloading a song isn't an offense on your part.
You mind giving us a link to that extension? I couldn't see anything on the official plugins page, and if no one can find it then it might as well not exist...
Here's the kind of shit I want to see: Drones searching for open wifi points to connect to and run BitTorrent on. Once it's completed (and seeded) the torrents, it can return to it's owner with a full drive/USB. Bonus points if it also cracks WEP and flawed WPA automatically.
The Greens have nice policies, but terrible implementations. Most of their ideas are completely unrealistic. e.g shutting down coal plants without a viable alternative, which would dramatically increase electricity costs.
The explanation is quite simple actually. The current government has done almost no planning at all with regard to the NBN, not even a cost benefit analysis. It sounds like someone only just figured out that the hardware could support higher speeds if configured as such.
Here's one from the article: http://www.notionink.in/ And here's my personal favourite: http://alwaysinnovating.com/ Adam has Qi and Tegra, Touchbook II's specs are unknown at this point but can be safely assumed to be better than the old version. The Touchbook should be out in about a month, and you can install Ubuntu on either, AFAIK.
Take a look at this: http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/home/index.htm ARM based, wall mountable, runs Linux, completely open hardware. Only downside is that the new version won't be available for another month or so, and the old ones aren't available right now.
Why use the most common definition? If it's for the benefit of the scanner, use their definition of attraction. Of course, then it becomes much harder to give a generalised answer.
But it would be tough to do that if everyone were open-carrying, anyway. Hello, we can end the cycle of victimhood already.
Because someone said a few posts ago that it would be a good idea. People will treat guns like computers - they'll own them, but they won't necessarily know how to use them.

Unless you have very special RAM, that word does not mean what you think it does.

Judges get their work carefully critiqued, torn apart, and published in public documents all the time. They're called appeal judgments.

You jest, but he probably won't be able to use it for exams anymore, since it's clearly been modified.

Most Australians are drunk and wear hats with corks hanging from strings.
I resent that stereotype! Most of us are too drunk to find the hats.

What was the suggestion, if you don't mind me asking. Could be useful to some of us as well.
