It seems that you haven't heard of the Neo900 project which aims to deliver just that.

I consider myself to be very fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience such a wonderful operating system. I'm probably very young compared to most VMS system managers, my first experience of VMS was about 7 years ago. My first impressions were that it seemed quite antiquated (mostly due to the lack of a modern shell) but as I began to learn more, it became a breath of fresh air compared to anything I had ever used. I began to discover features, flexibility and power that make other modern operating systems seem primitive. I can only hope that it will now be open sourced as it would a great shame to loose such a unique operating system that offers so much that others don't.

The architecture of the V1280 is sun4u, not sun4v. Logical Domains are not supported on sun4u processors.

So Google suck in various OEMs and open source enthusiasts, release two major upgrades and still not release the source code? I'll stick with MeeGo/Mer/Tizen, etc. thank you very much.

Actually development is very active and a webOS update for the TouchPad was released just today. This is better support than most Android OEMs who seldomly release any OS updates.

Seriously? Nokia's bad application design has nothing to do with touch screen usability. The beauty of the N900 is that it sets no limits to what you can do and you can easily use the command line to do everything. If you don't like Nokia's alarm application, install cron and use that.

From what I understand, Google's patent infringements do not relate to the use of Java as a language or Java byte code to Dalvik conversion, but mostly relate to the general use and implementation of a virtual machine in general. .NET and its CLR do not use the Java language or require byte code conversion from Java yet Sun/Oracle still collect licence fees Microsoft due to patent infringements. To quote James Gosling from a recent interview:

I suspect both MeeGo and Android x86 are just part of Intel's plan to drive the Atom market. At the end of the day, they probably don't really care what OS is running on it.

I agree, but that's the reason I chose not to buy an iPhone. My N900 which runs Linux allows me to install anything I like, and with Easy Debian installed I have access to thousands of ARM Linux apps. So far, I've been able to take the source and build anything I've needed that's not available in the repositories.

There, fixed that for you.

Nintendo should do this too or risk losing their status as the leader of hand-held gaming. People already carry mobile phones on them wherever they go and many do not want or would prefer not to carry a second device for gaming. It would make sense to release two versions of the device, one with phone capabilities and one without as there is still a market for children and others who do not want a new phone. My guess is that Sony's offering will be PSP Go compatible.

Where they went wrong was by reusing the Chrono Trigger brand to create what looks like a new Chrono Trigger titled game. If the mod was made so it did not try to be "Chrono Trigger", there would have been very little Square Enix could have done about it as it would be all original content. There isn't a lot of work to do (compared to what they've done already) to get it to this state.

Exactly, but they don't even need to redo the game-as-a-binary from scratch. They could release the whole thing as a patch for the original Chrono Trigger ROM image which would contain nothing but original content. I'm not a lawyer but they possibly would not even need to redraw the sprites if it is done that way.

It should have been obvious this would happen. A few years back Square shut down a 3D Chrono Trigger remake project.

Assuming they did not rip off too much, they should just rename the game, characters, locations, redraw the character sprites so they bare no resemblance and then release like that. If they are still not happy and are feeling daring, they can later "leak" a patch which changes everything back to as it was originally intended.

I agree. To add to that list:

5) Apps that rely on the system time may break.
6) Any network apps may time out or break.

I tend to have several remote connections open and if these are going to time out with hibernatation I'll loose most my work anyway so I might as well shut down properly.
