  1. N900Fly is years old on New Android App Encourages Users To Throw Device As High As Possible · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is not exactly a new idea. http://maemo.org/packages/view/n900fly/

  2. Phone hardware platform with expandability on Jolla Announces First Meego Phone Available By End 2013 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What I found interesting was the concept of extending the phone functionality by changing the back cover. Want a QWERTY phone? No problem, swap the back cover to one with keyboard.

  3. Re:Btrfs on Linux 3.2 Has Been Released · · Score: 1

    fsync is god.awful.slow.

    Are you using it on a SSD with the 'discard' mount option? If yes, that's what's making the fsyncs horribly slow.

    Personally I don't use the discard option but I run fstrim from a cron job once a week to TRIM the SSD. Works like a charm.

    (Also, once you mount a SSD root with -o discard, remounting it using -o remount,nodiscard will not fix the fsync problem. A reboot is required.)

  4. Re:Get an academic on this pronto on Satellite Glitch Leaves Northern Canada In the (Internet) Dark · · Score: 1

    Having a 'right' to Internet would require this to be an obligation upon businesses that would have to provide this entitlement, obviously this would make it into an 'essential' service and the prices, by the way, would immediately be much higher than what they are now.

    I don't see your comments there.

  5. Re:Last Open Version on Nokia Confirms Symbian Is No Longer Open Source · · Score: 1

    Probably yes. I'll try to find the HDD and create torrents next week.

  6. Re:Last Open Version on Nokia Confirms Symbian Is No Longer Open Source · · Score: 1

    It was available from a Symbian Foundation FTP site until March 31st last week. No idea if they are offering it anymore at all.
    Luckily I have the whole shebang downloaded and stored somewhere on a loose hard disk.

  7. Re:Hmm, shoulda hired from Google on Nokia Names Microsoft's Elop As New CEO · · Score: 1

    Actually, it is YOU who fails with a simple time calculation. If the time is 12:00 and you set the alarm to 12:15, you do not have 15 minutes left, but 14 minutes plus some amount of seconds left. Hence the N-1.

  8. Hitler does not approve of this change. on No Dedicated Servers For CoD: Modern Warfare 2 · · Score: 1

    Hitler is also disappointed by the lack of dedicated servers, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XSOxS_1XBI

  10. Like Nokia did in Finland on Ballmer Threatens To Pull Out of the US · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Sounds familiar. Nokia threatened to leave Finland unless they get the right to spy on their employees. The law (named "Lex Nokia" by the media) was passed on March 11th and became effective beginning this month.
