Buzz word driven evolution. Two years ago were netbooks, last year were ebook readers and this year we have tablets. Everyone needs to get its costumed or proprietary gadget on the market, just to mark a position. I don't see market for all this stuff. Who need a cell phone (or 2), netbook, ebook reader and tablet at the same time? I predict gadjet saturation.

I've got 30 fps. Results of 1 or 2 fps are very strange and I think they are related to non Firefox issues.

Firefox 3.6.9.
Ubuntu 10.04.1
Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz
GeForce 9400 GT (with nvidia driver)

yeah right. So, imagine you are in Australia, you decide to produce, lets say... Port. From your point of view you obviously have the right to use the name Port even if its based in the name of a Portuguese city and is famous because 250 years of refinement made it that way... Your contribution to that? Earn money over generations of other peoples work and not giving anything back. Move to Portugal, Make Port over there.

Yes, but half that energy goes to transportation, and for the most part, those transports use oil (all imported)... Hence the plan for electric cars.

1 byte per second = 1 baud (SYMBOL per second) if a symbol is represented with 8 bits.
In the case of the SMS (short message service) one symbol has 7 bits, so, for 1 message per second you get: 160 baud; 160*7=1120bps; 1120/8=140Bps.

Or simply...That area is in a rift valley (not a small thing): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa-Bonnechere_Graben

According to this, there will be more ballots than voters.

If anyone can cast the votes he wants how can you be right about how many people have voted. This clearly violates the one man one vote principle. If protecting minorities is what you want, simply use the hondt method http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D'Hondt_method.

"Take video calling on the iPhone 4 for example"
Videocalls where supposed to be the killer app for 3G phones. As someone already said, this was in 2002/2003. This was not accepted because of the same reason because SMS are popular. SMS are cheap, fast and more impersonal.
If it weren't data plans and social networking, UMTS still it would be serving voice and sms.

It seems that the OS will be based on ubuntu:

I have the netbook remix running on it and it works flawlessly.

And live a life of amusement. Maybe they have better things to do than to speculate uselessly.

Despite the obvious problems with Toyota cars, one thing is shure. There is a lot of people in the US profiting and betting in the fall of the main concurrent for US disgraced auto makers. They (Toyota) are being targeted by a negative campaign.
I cannot believe that only Toyota has some sort of serious problem in their cars. Greediness and bugs are not a their exclusive. The main problem consists in being one of the most advanced producers.
As software complexity surges I'm afraid this problem will multiply elsewhere.

I agree. Slashdot quality is clearly degrading for some time.
