I can't get enough of those fine brews from Fuller's, who definitely aren't northern. London Pride, Discovery, Seafarers...

If it's in good condition I can easily sink 5 pints of the stuff and not feel hung over the next day.

Because Webkit is superior to Gecko - it's faster and it uses less memory. The built in MicroB browser is not very quick. Fennec is even worse. The GUI responses lag behind the input noticeably.

I wasn't aware of Opera being available for the N900 though, I will give it a try.

But the catalog of applications available is dire. Nobody is developing for it. Yes there are a few apps which are really cool, but they're the exception, and they don't have the same level of polish as you'd expect from Android or iPhone apps. And still no decent Webkit browser!

I'm dumping my N900 for an Android device as soon as I'm out of contract. Sad really because the hardware is excellent, and it had a lot of potential.

Currently sat in my office in London with a fan blowing and the windows open. It's a very mild 15C outside, but the building management have decided that just because it's November the heating for the entire building has to be blazing away all day to raise the temperature to levels which in summer we try and counteract with air con. We don't have a thermostat, all we can do is shut off the radiators individually.. but with 10 floors below us and poor insulation we get the accumulated "benefit" of their heating as well.

First impressions on my N900 - slow and unresponsive. The zooming action is not rendered smoothly and it takes a good few seconds to repaint the zoomed-in area at the new zoom level, in the meantime you're left with pixellated text from where the previous image has been scaled up.

It's still a sweetened drink though isn't it? It's as much about the taste as it's about the calorific value as far as I'm concerned.

Vitamin Water is OK but still too sweet for my tastes. And expensive. Can't stand squash, something in it makes my back itch (yes I know, I'm a freak) - probably the artificial additives.

I think there's a niche in the market for a soft drink that's tasty and refreshing but not full of sugar. I can't find one. The closest you can get is fruit juice, and even that's usually concentrated or has added sugar.

You honestly think peoples' wealth is directly proportional to how hard they work? The world isn't that simple. Social injustice is all around us, it's an entirely reasonable thing to be outraged about.

Free Norton products for life!

With America's wealth, it shouldn't need charity to fight disease. Also, the two aren't mutually exclusive. Also, it's not more important.

On a domestic power supply? WTF are you doing with all that power?!

It won't be anything like residential FiOS connections in the US. It's the same kind of fibre leased line service you can get from any telco if you're a business in a city, based on SDH or metro ethernet, with a price tag to match. We're still some way off residential FTTH in the UK. Some areas have it but it's still very rare and very early days.

Years of neglect during the XFree86 days, basically. Xorg is still playing catch-up to Windows which had these concepts nailed years ago. It also doesn't help that Nvidia and ATI, as the two main vendors of graphics hardware, tend to ignore the Xorg architecture and implement things like multiple displays in their own way. The whole mess is an embarrassment, and one of the few major problems holding Linux back as a desktop OS :(

Xinerama needs to die and the driver vendors need to start taking RandR 1.3 support seriously (I'm looking at you Nvidia).. I found a triple-head Xinerama setup using two Quadro NVS 295s had such bad 2D performance (especially in KDE) that it was unusable.
