Funny. I'm running a full linux on a MIPS machine I have here. I can install binary packages of everything I have wanted to install by just doing "ipkg install ". Check out OpenWRT if you're interested.
I wonder why they are working on making this CPU x86-compatible. If they want to be really "free" from the western IT-world they don't have to care about running Windows, and when they don't have to care about that, they can just adopt gcc, the rest of GNU and Linux to run natively on their own instruction set.
can never understand why so many people are paranoid about giving even the smallest scraps of information to the government yet will happily let companies like Google (world leaders in data-mining and info extraction) have unrestricted access to all their most private data.
Because I can choose to avoid Google. I can not choose to avoid my government.
No. If it was GPL instead of LPGL it would be harder. LGPL is designed to let companies use and abuse the code. GPL is designed to force companies to give the user the same freedom that the company used when they first downloaded the code.
There are pros and cons with both of these approaches.
The difference is of course that they can't deny you access to the information. That's what ownership normally means: you can have something for yourself, and deny it to others.
I suppose it depends on your taste in music. I'm from Sweden and listen to a lot of music, I'd say 1% of that is from the U.S. (Lycia and Joanna Newsom). The rest are mostly from England, Germany and Holland.
Some of us already live in the future and use SSD on our laptops. Every gigabyte here is precious, since there's often not dozens, hardly even one dozen. Those 50MB are easily much more, sometimes up to gigs of useless crap. All applications also take up space in the menus, which might be annoying on a portable device with a smallish screen.
My advice is to find out where the gear is physically, then call the sympathetic cop back.
If you cannot find that out, you cannot expect them to. I would take the IP address and contact the ISP that serves it. If they won't help you, get the cop to do it.
You're telling him to not bother the police before you have an address, and then you say that you should ask the cops to help you get the address.
I'm using zenburn myself, it's the absolute best. You want to use it with more than 16 colors though. There is now a high contrast mode as well, if you have a brighter workplace, or want to work on a laptop in sunlight.

Dunno, maybe because he goes on about "omg customers blah blah business" when this is obviously for the guy's home HTPC.
And neither is able to play flash. O brave new world!

Just press "Cancel". You'll get the download anyway.

Or just press "cancel" at the EULA and get the download anyway, like I did.

Yeah, you do realize you're talking to a real, actual Chinese person in English?
Stop it with your lies! The parent says that you can not communicate in English! Clearly you are! You must cease.
Americans. Who do you think?
Heh, no, I'm kidding of course. It must be the evil communazis.
In fact small enough that some companies tests their new brands and products in Sweden before they release them in the US.
Oh, how I wish they would have spared us the horrors that was Vanilla Coke... :/
you will have to expect them trying to get you into heated discussions about American presidents, especially Bush
Well, those are easily avoided by saying "Oh, I hate Bush too".
Master's in CS, not in English. I'm sure he wouldn't make a mistake when typing in a real language like C or assembly.

with things like OO being rather clunkily bolted on
I beg to differ. I think that how perl handles OO is one of the most elegant ways I've seen any language to it.

Obviously you haven't had any modpoints in a long time! Last time I got 15.
That's why I always mount my file systems with 'noatime'!
(Well ok, I do it because I have a flash disk and don't want any unnecessary writes)
I'm fairly certain you didn't.
Sounds expensive, I'm in the outskirts of Gothenburg, paying about 43 USD for an uncapped 100/100 :)
epic thread!

One might think it's to run some statistical analysis on the information to figure out if google just fabricated the data or not.
