Indeed, it is the other way around... As I said, the only reason capasitive touchscreens are popular are because a certain company hyped it up as the next big thing, just like they currently do with overspecced displays

Sorry, the screen on my n900 is more than bright enough, and I even added an extra screenprotector on top! Time to look at what the technology has come to today....

This is EXACTLY why I love my n900 so much... resistive touchscreen, transflective LCD. Who started that stupid capacitive touchscreen hype anyway? I use my n900 a lot, day in, day out. The resistive touchscreen is NEVER a problem. Being able to scribble things down with a stylus, however...

Could the browser marketshare be related to spam levels? US is a much bigger spammer, meaning more zombie computers. Easier hacked due to running IE?

So what? There are SOOOOO many companies gathering data on you, even the shop where you buy food tries to log your items under your name. Who complains about that? Nobody.

Since they bought Gizmo, I guess pretty soon ;)

Were you by any chance looking for a target for some Google bashing? They may not do SIP (yet), but they do use xmlpp (jabber). Why don't you go complaining about that closed protocol of MSN? Ha!

Let's correct my support claim a small bit: There is actually good news for the n8x0, it's called Mer (http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer)

I just got an N810, and I'm loving it. As a double-plus, you can actually get a used one cheap now that everybody is buying an N900.

Oh please don't. My n810 is frustrating me like hell whenever I try to do anything else on it than read email, chat or open *simple* webpages. It is underpowered and unsupported (no future updates for you), the only good thing about it is the display.

Exactly, it maps to the way *you* say it.

We say "1 april 2010" so DD/MM/YYYY is more logical.

I know your reaction was knee-jerk, but just in case you didn't know, unix machines can also be configured by policy (cfengine/puppet) and single sign ons originated in the unix world (kerberos). The freeipa project http://freeipa.org/ already has a working nice kerberos+ldap solution with integrated multimaster replication and quite easy to set-up (version 1.2, if I recall correctly). Version 2 will come shortly and it will be even easier). I know, I know, first I have to see it.

You can now join linux/solaris clients to a freeipa kerberos domain in a very similar way as to how you join a window machine to a windows domain. You have delegation of tasks for junior staff and it just works. Why has it taken so long? Good question, ask the big linux players (google, ibm) why they were not interested in this. Red Hat started it and they are actively developing it right now.

It takes time, but good stuff happens eventually.

To be fair, Ubuntu 9.04 really needs 512 Meg of RAM to run well...

I am pretty sure that the banks that rely on Linux on zSeries to manage billions of dollars of transactions per day would disagree with you. Is that not a valuable enough target for the "bad guys?"

and if you are gay you can't marry EVEN IF you find someone who wants to marry you. Have you understood that yet?

Seen the difference yet? You still have the potential of marrying the person you are in love with, and who is in love with you, when you are straight and single. Gay and single has no such potential

Well, at least in the backwards parts of hte USA.
