I think it would be a good idea to brainstorm utilizing the power of Slashdot readers. One of those: "What would you do?" How can we support a civilian network with no ISP backbone. WDS? Mesh networks? Analog modems? Rsyncing important websites the wikileaks way? Using BBS or text oriented technologies to preserve civilian bandwidth? GSM cellphones ala Burning man? Seriously... With no Internet we are completely segregated and powerless. At least the US, we are not even withing walking distances from downtowns. Can Slashdot help organizing this info? It would be awesome testing some of these technologies!

I honestly believe that 1.5 users (and some 1.6) are not heavy users that will be purchasing a lot of apps. the iphone set a trend of buying a replacement phone at least every 18 months. how many 1.5 users are just about to buy a new phone? Also, what is the volume of market usage (sells) on this bracket (1.5 users) I agree that fragmentation is not effective, but is far from being an issue or something unacceptable. I think that newer phones deserve better attention. If I bought a new phone 2.2 or 2.1 I did it because app implementation is going to be faster and better. I am all about not setting breaks on development because everything needs to be compatible/cool with 1.5. 1.5 devices have a hardware disadvantage. my two cents!

I think that by "gay-friendly" anyone could understand "Progressive thinking". IT IS wierd to be progressive and be scared at porn.

Damn, is this guy sleeping with somebody from slashdot or what... What a stupid post!
