My gripe with flash is mostly just taking power away from the user. The flash plugin exposes next to nothing to the user whereas stuff like HTML 5 allow the browser to expose whatever, which will likely be much more with most browsers having a developer tools plugin/extension/addon. I'll also...

Ok well then just disable xaa and exa and you get a similar experience, it's slow. I got the same problems when I was trying to get an ATI card working in Linux. When I use a bad driver that just didn't want to work right, I got jerky window movement and scrolling, when I was using one that...

2D graphics like window dragging can be optimized even without OpenGL. Think xaa/exa. I'm thinking the video driver just doesn't support this or doesn't support much of it. To see the difference in x11 on a pc, change your driver to "vesa". Even on a high end crazy 8 core CPU, it'll crawl in...

For really bad grime and stuff, some kind of dish soap might work, too. They're usually very mild, but reasonably good at stuff like finger oils (or potato chip oils) and stuff.

Well, PNDs can have multiple "applications", right? You could just have one open the readme in whatever program is associated with text files. I think optimally, the description or details or whatever should have very basic installation instructions, though. Not a whole readme file due to...

OK, some of this stuff I can agree with, but some of it is absolutely outrageous. For one thing, Windows still has dependency hell. The only reason it doesn't appear is because every program has everything either linked in or included in the program directory. Linux fixes this by having you...

Yeah, I'm all for a move to OSS4. I'd be using it on my desktop if it could use usb audio with the device I have, because when I used to use it with my SB Live!, it was fantastic compared to ALSA. The one thing I'm worried about though is timidity, and it's ALSA MIDI device emulation. A lot...

Can someone test rtorrent? Seems like the best client to use because of it's lightness.

i know it's probably not a popular option, but I find that "slight" hinting improves readability. It makes fonts a bit softer, but they seem to display darker. Also, that subpixel rendering tends to horizontally "thin" characters, which makes them slightly more difficult to read. The bad part...

Timidity has an "ALSA sequencer" interface. Start it in that mode, and it'll stay in memory in the background as a soft synth. timidity -iA

Just memory cards and my phone for internet.

Good god just shut up, nobody cares.

I personally don't know about the key mappings but until you get this worked out, you could just use rm from the terminal.

I, too, am curious about the gritty details.

I plan to use a small class 10 sandisk extreme card as swap, so in case I run out of RAM, it won't lock up or chug (too badly) when swapping. Being small, it was cheap, so wearing it down won't be a big deal. ...I wanted to say more but I got distracted and lost my train of thought.

I've also not canceled my order, and I ordered early so I'd be crazy to, when it'll probably be shipped out in a few days.

I plan to do this with a small, fast 4GB SD card when I get mine. Max out the virtual memory, heh. :D

Heh, I'm 350-450 and I haven't received an email yet, so I wouldn't get too hopeful about shipping any time soon. :D

OSSO might be a bit difficult to work with, seeing as it's very OS specific. It might require most of Maemo to be present. LUCKILY it doesn't need much of libosso, and I'm thinking a lot of it's functionality can be faked to satisfy the library. Here's a list of function calls it uses...

Who do you think they are? Conformists? :P
