PS im glad there are no problems on your system, as I would doubt you would have a clue how to diagnose and fix any problems you did have

Well good luck to you, and if you don't get banned, you know at least the mods will label your thread with relevant tags like "whiners", "nut jobs", or "judaisim" at the bottom.

You forget relativity. Time for the observer travelling at the speed of light appears slower when observing the objects that are NOT travelling at the speed of light, but time for that same observer would appear to be normal relative to the observer himself. Objects observing the traveller moving at the speed of light remains normal relative to themselves but time for the objects travelling at the speed of light would appear to run faster.
Consider GPS satellites and the highly accurate clocks that ran normally here in atmosphere relative to everyone and everything travelling at the same speed. Once they went into orbit, these highly accurate clocks drifted ahead in time at a syncronized rate because they were travelling at high speeds above the Earth.
Time is not a spacial dimension, per se. It is a dimension, it can be travelled faster and slower (as yet, you can only travel FORWARD) and it is effected by gravity, but you cannot describe it as spacial.
As they are in a geostationary orbit they would be travelling through space at the same speed as ourselves so I don't see their relative speed as a factor here.
At least that's what Brian Cox said on the BBC recently and he's a nuclear physics professor at CERN so I'm going with him

The problem with this forum is the alarming number of people who cant or won't call a spade a spade.
The amount of lame excuses I have heard could spawn its own thread:
No portrait mode - would you hold your laptop vertically
Fat dimensions of the device - I only carry devices I can feel in my pocket
It is not a mobile phone - even though it says it is on the website
And yes they often end up contradicting themselves.
If something is lame call it lame. And vice versa.

You've been bashing the N900 and trolling these forums since February. I'm shocked it took you -this- long to leave.

what are the chances that that EA of porting need for speed to the N900 ????

If it suits you, that's fine. But a lot of the grumbling, I feel, seems to be infighting between the optimists and the disappointed. In the end, I think we all want the same things, though. Throwing around labels (like "fanboys") isn't going to help either way. Let the discussions happen either way. I want to hear from the guys that are happy with the stuff as much as I want to hear from the disgruntled. They're a barometer either way and sometimes I learn something new.
. There are quite a number of non-maemo owners who jump at the opportunity to flame. These might be considered opinions..but saying N900 sucks in a Maemo forum well..it is kinda flaming, What do you expect? I do not go to an iPhone forum and say the iPhone sucks, even if I think so.Your arguments are usually well reasoned and polite. Besides you seem to dislike Nokia not Maemo. I share to an extent your feelings.

What did the master foo did when his thingy did not communicate with iDrive ? the linux thing to do is to try solve the problem by yourself and contribute to the community, not cry about it.

Got to aplogize to OP for saying in my earlier post that he was overhyping his controversiality. It's just pure trolling and he's right about getting banned. Good riddance.

In honesty, though, you're right--if it suits YOU, it's nobody else's place to tell you that the other thing is better for YOU. That said, though, it's also stands to reason that you can't criticize someone else's opinion if that device doesn't suit THEM. I think a LOT of the angst is because the N900 had the potential to hit the mark for so many of the people that were dragged in by the "open source" and "Linux" marketing for these Maemo devices from Nokia but failed to see the same kind of transparency and comfort we're used to seeing from desktop distributions that are far more open-source and Linux based. In the end, what Nokia delivered was actually no better than their competition and that has much of the community that, up until the N900, had been optimistic about that openness. Ultimately, the offering continues to be a dangling carrot that keeps moving farther away instead of moving closer.
