from Pioneering Ants Challenge Self-Organization Assumptions

As with other social insects, it was once thought that workers were essentially equivalent in ant colony hierarchies. But it appears that a few well-informed individuals shape group decisions by leading nestmates to new homes.

The findings could add a new dimension to ant-derived models of self-organization.

“Although self-organized systems appear very effective under the assumption that all individuals follow the same simple set of rules, the presence of key, well-informed individuals altering their behavior according to their prior experience might generally enhance performance even further,” wrote biologists from the University of Bristol and the University of Toulouse [...]
i guess the well informed individuals already found a new home...

Here is an another idea concering legacy devices such as N8x0, and possible N900 in future.

Since nokia is promoting QT as a sole platform for development of cross platform applications running on a range of different OS, we may try to follow that, and build and maintain QT framework.

That would allow us to build/package applications developed for newer devices, provided the CPU/Memory resources within N8x0 are sufficient.

The developers may choose to support older devices, but we can probably establish task group which would be responsible for building/packaging/patching of applications.

Presently, diablo extras holds 4.5.x versions of qt.

We can baby our Maemo devices, try to keep them running, but handsets aren't like classic cars, not many people can keep them running when parts begin to fail.
Reminds me of that guy who has a Volvo P1800 with 3.1 milion miles on it and still runs like new.
OT: Im threating my N900 as its like new, im not throwing with it as i do with old and broken phones..

I've got a 4 year old Thinkpad that runs better than my brand new desktop. Thats how I view my N900.

I've tried other stuff, it has all the spec to impress, but in use it doesnt suit or impress me.

For what it is worth ...

I'm an occasional user of my old N810, still running OS2008. I don't upgrade and I don't install many new apps, because I mostly use it for fun. Although I did take it on my once-in-a-lifetime trip to Chile (Isla Juan Fernandez) so that I could make Skype calls and look at Weather Underground. I was able to hop on public wifi-, send emails, and stay in touch.

What a beautiful little device it is! All metal, good battery life, reasonably stable.

The only reason I am on the forums today is I need to re-clone to my external SD (something bad happened to the boot part on it). I see that PenquinBait has jumped ship, sad but understandable.

BTW, I still don't own a "smartphone", although I would gladly buy one if they would grow up and have battery life more than 8 hours or so. I concur with one of the posts in this thread that the people who know enough out to work on a way to run a true Linux OS in some kind of an Android VM - have no idea if that is possible, but for sure it won't work under iOS ... heh.

Qole, I salute you and want you to know that your paitence with Linux noobs over the years is a big part of my embrace of Linux. at work, I am now reasonably proficient with CentOS and support quite a few servers.

Well, I printed out all of PBs threads on cloning and I need to try it ... have not needed to clone for 2 years ... wish me luck!

Steve

N900 got much more battery time, especially with little mod to make it 3000 mAh capable Just sayin'

Yeah, and it has pretty inconvenient screen size. In my opinion 770/n8x0 screen size is a bare minimum for a device to be useful. Especially for reading text.

Galaxy proves it.

I think it depends on personal preferences - I find N900 screen size quite perfect (probably 4'' won't hurt, but IMO it's not needed. IMO, it's matter of resolution - with res high enough, You can adjust perceived screen size by holding N900 closer or further from eyes - as long as Your eyes can focus without problems

But, we're "off-topic'ing" here, probably.

Ahh, but the years come and go, and soon you'll realize your eyes are not as before...
momcilo is right, a screen as big as possible while it fits in your pocket
