Wicd is a great little wifi manager with no X library dependencies.

The nvidia drivers are useless without xrandr support. Fglrx may be a mess but at least it doesn't reimplement standards on the linux desktop.

Nope, sorry. There is a reason why there exists a "legacy" Nvidia driver.

I have Cyanogen 7 on my Droid and it can handle a bluetooth keyboard just fine - all I had to do was turn it on and sync like any other device. The only issue I've had is it doesn't rotate the arrow keys with the screen (not a big deal.)

They don't do things in the source code that would break when you compile under 64bit, like cast pointers to ints or something.

alt-f2 > gksu halt

Is probably easier

Really? I can't think of any operation you can't do with just a keyboard in Linux, regardless of WM.

It's likely you just weren't aware of a shortcut/command to do what you wanted.

In his snip "bribe" isn't a class name. It could be a "Transaction" named "bribe" or something

Try Vlingo. You can set it up to listen for a key phrase like "hey vlingo!" and it will start listening for commands. It's really handy when you're driving. Note that your phone is definitely not idling while its processing audio input and waiting for a key phrase.

Sony didn't plug any leak. The ps3 master keys don't go away with a ruling by some court. Softmods, homebrew, etc will still continue coming out like they were prior to the settlement. Some people might be scared but others probably still have an axe to grind.

Or you could always use the NDK and code in C/C++. Only minimal bits have to be in Java to interface with the rest of Android.

I'm not so sure this is a feature I want in Firefox. In Chrome if I have a certain number of tabs open Windows basically explodes and I have to kill Chrome. In FF4 I can have my unmanageable, huge number of tabs and it runs just fine.

Logitech's marble mouse is indeed pretty nice. Especially if you bind a side button to scroll, the momentum feels excellent when web browsing. You don't really get the kind of tactile feedback a trackball has with a regular mouse or touchpad when you're moving over large distances.

Yep, and its absolutely crap. It only uses the PPC core so its horribly slow and the flash plugin basically locks the browser up.

Patently false. There are plenty of hackers messing around on the PSN right now. At least on the PC we get real anti-cheat protection like VAC.
