Re: Idea: Road Copilot

Such a system could be very useful as a warning system for traffic jams, and police speed controls if a critical mass of users is gathered.

So how do I hide/remove the scrollbars from Evince in full screen mode?

Hey all,
The scrollbars that show in evince in full screen mode aren't really usefull to me. They do however take up a great deal of screen real estate. Is there a way to hide them?

Re: n900 Transmission very slow download

Are you using a wifi or 3g connection? I believe some carryers block bittorrent on their 3g networks. If you are on wifi the most likely answer is that port forwarding on your router is not set up...

Re: cryptsetup: encrypted filesystem on your N900

On the line
dd if=/dev/urandom of=$CRYPTFILE bs=1M count=$CRYPTSIZE

why not /dev/random instead? Isn't that more secure?

Re: The Nexus One vs. N900 My 1st hand accounts from both

Thanks for the good review. Interesting stuff. As much as I'd like to though, I sadly don't see the use of owning both the phones. One has to win I'm afraid.

Re: why a 'more' button instead of one big sliding menu?

This is one of the great unsolved mysteries of the universe indeed. I wonder if even Nokia knows the answers to this question.

Re: Commercial ebook reader

Palm emulation is the way to go. On the n810 i ran mobi reader using the Palm emulator (was it called GarnetVM?). And those had drm.

Re: HDR Pictures with the N900?

Yeah, the problem is the actual lack of dynamic range in the swedish winter light :).

Maybe in the summer photos will improve.

Re: HDR Pictures with the N900?

The main question for me is how to make the bracketed pictures. The rest can be done on the desktop. I have come to the conclusion that a little C is neccecary in order to do this.

Atleast I can control the focus with the ioctls. Dont know the units though. Something in the range of 550 seams to be focusing very close, whereas something like 150 means infinite.
