I remember them commenting on #1 several weeks ago. I'm sure it's on a Todo list somewhere - but since it's a driver issue, don't expect a fix in the near future. #4 - Could you suspend it several times different ways, and document the exact procedures that cause it? #5 - What kind of wireless...

It's Chromium. Best browser I've ever used on Linux. Certainly the least crash prone out of all of them.

It is a problem. There's no wireless solutions available that have enough bandwidth, unless you realtime-encode it into a video. DVI pushes something like 540MB/sec of pixel data. That's closing in on 6gbit. Bluetooth is... 1.5mbit? :lol: So you need 4000x as much bandwidth? Videos are 2D, but...

This one is better, for only $30 (free shipping) Kingston 16GB Class 4 Those patriot ones are usually right on the line. I got an 8GB patriot class 6, which reads/writes at about 6.3-6.5MB/sec. My A-Data Class 6 16GB reads/writes at about 10.5MB/sec. Kingston tends to have high read speeds...

Choppy? Do you mean tearing (vsync related), or do you mean it's missing the occasional frame? (also vsync related - many displays are 59.94hz instead of 60hz... but don't advertise it)

I live in Canada. If you can avoid UPS up here, do it. It's worth the money. (although usually going with airmail or another courier saves money)

I was advocating Java quite strongly, but never bashed Flash, so that must've been someone else. :) You turned down my offer, so... heh. It runs fine on my Quad in Firefox, Chrome, and Opera.

Heh... I like LXDE, Gnome is okay, but XFCE is horrible. Now what are my criteria? :lol:

Yes. But none of those will be the default. If you know how to install a desktop environment on a server debian install, you should have the knowledge required to do it. I'm going to go out on a limb and say.... no. It burns too many cycles doing seemingly nothing. LXDE looks remarkably...

The OS isn't very heavy, and it is possible to turn a lot of stuff off before running a game, including the entire desktop environment. You'd obviously want to leave things like WiFi/GPU/Sound drivers turned on. There's a lot of stuff in the kernel that makes things easier.

VP8 is easier to decode than H.264, and H.264 decodes on most relatively modern hardware. We just need DSP-accelerated codecs to be written/ported to our platform. Theora is okay - it's decent for an MPEG2 replacement - but I value image quality over ease of decoding.

Unless a new revision of wm8505 came out, that CPU is 300mhz, and has the 300mhz H.264 decoder added on top. (not that there's any drivers for that...) I'm in an IRC channel with some guys trying to hack Linux onto the netbooks powered by these. No drivers or working kernel yet, but they did...

Lexar 512MB SD Test finished without errors. You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again. Writing speed: 3.18 MByte/s Reading speed: 5.55 MByte/s H2testw v1.4 Haha... pretty bad. Glad I have an SDHC hanging around. :lol:

I can't recall ever dreaming about a Pandora. I really really want one, but very little day to day stuff enters my dreams. I must be emotionally flatlined or something. :lol:

Hehe... I know someone called Linus. He says "L-eye-nus", as you put it. ;) More confusion! Okay. :D ^ :lol: I'm actually Canadian. We use words from the US and UK, and have our own. Hundreds trumps a dozen. I've talked to techs, programmers, gamers, college students, kids, etc.; today...

E X E - saying each letter as you would alone - is pretty universal. I've never heard anyone say it differently, and I've met hundreds of computer users over the years that have used the term. On the other hand, we're all native English speakers. Apparently with some languages - like Dutch -...

That's how I say it, too. The creators say otherwise. I've seen it mentioned in numerous books. Apparently they even mentioned the correct pronunciation in the original spec. First result on google: http://www.olsenhome.com/gif/ So in this case, you're probably wrong, regardless of what you...

Ack... Heroes... the show that could've been so great! I haven't watched most of the shows you've mentioned, but I agree that Dexter is great. Unfortunately, I first viewed the cut version (of the first season) rather than the Showtime ones. The rampant cursing in the Showtime versions really...

Same story here. I'm with Teksavvy, in Canada. They hand me a different IP about every 6-12 months. Plugging in a new router doesn't help. I get the same IP back. ;)

And now the regular price is three times what you paid. ;) 2 months back, $35 + S&H was considered good.
