I've installed Slackware before so by virtue of changing a few 1's to 0's in text files I'm a level 20 hacker. Yes yes I know, your mission critical mp3 server has 1 gajillion days of uptime and never crashes. Thanks.

If the N900 were truly open, I would be running Lenny in command line and wouldn't give a damn about Maemo, Meego, Moblin, or any other Linux flavor du jour.

But then again, Ovi would have 100,000 apps, N900 would be going up in price due to shortages, and some idiot in Cuppertino with a black mock neck long sleeve shirt would be needing a few other organ transplants by now. Thank God Nokia managed to avoid all that mess.

The OP ought to at least come back and tell us what new phone he got, if nothing else, to rub flash 10.1 in our noses.

Actually you don't get it, I was being a bit blunt, you just have to define which 'time' you are talking about

Gravity is the bending of spacetime, space exits of the 3 spacial dimensions length, width and depth and time is the rate of expansion at which space itself is moving apart from itself in a certain direction at a certain velocity, which is accelerating btw, and therefore a form of a spacial or higher spacial dimension.

Lightyear = lightspeed * year
In formula: v = c = lightspeed = 3*10^8 m/s
t = year = 31536000 s
lightyear s = 9.4608 * 10^15 m

but anyway, later man, come back for the Ovi Angry Man thing!

Re: Last one to leave please turn off the lights
 

I have used (battled with/against) MeeGo on my netbook for some months now, and I'm not sure I agree to 1. The MeeGo netbook side of the force is truly open source, to the point of fanatical. This means that no, and I mean not a single byte, can be non-open source, and this is badly hurting the usefulness of the OS since lots of drivers are closed, typically wifi drivers. When the wifi is not working on a netbook, it kind of spoils the whole thing. Closed drivers are made available by the vendors to be distributed along with any Linux distro, but the MeeGo team refuses to include them. After some head scratching, googling and compiling drivers, everything eventually work, but this amount of fiddling is way beyond what the average netbook user will ever do. All in all, this fanatical openness effectively restrict MeeGo to be used exclusively by OEM except from some models by some vendors that has the "correct" combination of hardware with open source drivers available. I therefore believe that "truly open source" is meaningless unless you happen to manufacture all the relevant chips yourself as Intel do.

Adopt Android: I am starting to believe that as well. I don't think Nokia is incapable of making an equally great OS, but so far they have shown utter incompetence in dealing with the customers while developing it. When the OS eventually is finished (after God knows how many "steps" and 90 degree turns), there will be no one left to use it.

I'm sure if you were somewhat more tactful with your thread titles and attitude towards others you wouldn't have been banned.

And I sincerely hope many of the more... destructive and rude posters follow you out the door.

Re: Last one to leave please turn off the lights
 

As gadgets go, I'm a rather pragmatic person. I try to find and buy products that best suit the needs I have - devices that do what *I* need them to do, in a way *I* want them to do it. That's all that matters to me.

Yes, it's easy to list things that are better handled on this or that device, and you can have it, but what is it to me? Does it make N900 worse for me? No. Right now N900 is the best device for me, and everything else is second best (at most).

People burst here insisting that everyone liking N900 is a fanboy in denial? Though I find that insulting, I must say I'm rather envious to these people - in their impeccable ability to objectively evaluate the needs of people they have never met and know nothing about.

Re: Last one to leave please turn off the lights
 

"Still didn't answer the question, what did YOU buy the N900 for?"

Simple

A Linux Desktop in my pocket...............

Or did I miss something ?????

BTW U may criticize the n900 but hey guys criticism can be a bloody good thing, on this forum if you criticize the n900 your either a NOOB, you bought the wrong device. your a windoze fanboi , your reatrded, etc etc

Itls like Nokia told me I could sync my n900 with exchange server................................this is STILL not fixed.......dicks I say.

Re: Last one to leave please turn off the lights
 

I don't know what services. I could look it up but I don't care. There are no problems on my system.
tar and rsync suppose to impress me !? what are you 12 ?

Re: Last one to leave please turn off the lights
 

Don't worry, I've already upgraded to a Desire, but I'm still gonna be here to keep you company :)

Danramos

I have to say I did actually take ALOT of time to read MOST of your posts

And ALL i can say is you are one of the most intelligent posters on here

not ONLY are you very technically minded but you have the rare ability to also see the bigger picture as well......(ie the business/ecosystem/developer)

so Im not going to argue with you are you ACTUALLY DO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT

So good luck my friend and I look forward to seeing you on an android forum soon :D

But my dread still remains a dream.....a TRUE linux platform...........................then we can all really HACK !!!!!!!

Good luck my friend danramos !!!!!!
