Comment Awful Speculation (Score 1) 362

Stop with the shitty speculation.

I saw Steve at the BigAndroidBBQ here in Austin, TX, earlier this month, and had a chance to speak with him in person, one on one. I also professionally work with one of the members of TeamDouche.

While Steve did say that they currently had no info on when/if they would release ICS , CM development is alive and well.

Comment Problem: Solved - Buy a G2 (Score 1) 203

Buy a G2, root/unlock, install Cyanogenmod 7.0 (Gingerbread/2.3), or any one of the other Gingerbread ROMs. You can buy a G2 from here: http://swappa.com/buy/htc-g2-t-mobile - there's currently six listings, from $335 to $410, and all of them are rooted. The phone should work in the UK, too.

I have the same phone, running CM 7.0 (nightly 38), and I love it. I had the original G1 until recently, and it's a night and day difference. I firmly believe the G2 will suit your needs and more.

Comment Already Running that Version on Ubuntu (Score 3, Informative) 797

Running Ubuntu 10.10 with a gnome-shell build from the git repository, and I have to say, I love the change. The minimize and maximize functions themselves are not gone; as the summary says, you can still double click the title bar to maximize. If you want to minimize, you can right-click the titlebar, then click minimize, or using ALT+F9.

I think this is a great design change. In Gnome 2.0 and less, like windows, you would minimize windows to make room/less clutter for windows you're actually using at that top. Now, instead of minimizing, a better method is to move it down a screen (right-click, move to workspace down), or zoom out to activity view, drag the screen from one screen to another. I find when I have a lot going on -- multiple browser windows, terminals, ftp client -- I use this a lot. It comes in handy being able to separate each website you're working on, each server, into it's own workspace, free from intrusions and other unrelated stuff.

Good job Gnome devs!

Comment Gentoo Hardened nomultilib (Score 2, Informative) 274

News like this makes me smile that I decided to use Gentoo Hardened 64-bit nomultilib whenever I built servers. Makes it harder if the software needed to run is only available as 32-bit binaries, but I haven't run into any yet that I've needed.

Since it has no 32-bit emulation layer, this is probably one of the few 64-bit linux not affected (without a patch).

Comment Re:Lexmark still sells printers? (Score 1) 294

I don't mean to debunk anecdotal evidence with more of the same, but I have a Lexmark z2940 wireless printer here that I just setup to use wireless: downloaded the drivers (running Windows 7), installed them, plugged into the USB cable when prompted to so it could configure the wireless, joined my wireless network with my key, unplugged the USB cable when prompted, then finished the setup. Prints fine using wireless.

Except for the fact that the ink cartridges are either empty or dried up...
