That would be helpful.

True story. In the late 1990s my tax return was offset by several thousand dollars with zero notice. It turns out that an unethical family member had used my wife's SSN to get a loan for college when my wife was 12. This family member then defaulted and ignored warnings for years.

Fast forward a decade or so and the Treasury Department decided to get their money back, so after sending warnings to this family member, they took our joint return. Sadly, I couldn't even get anyone to explain the issue to me because my wife's name did not match the name on the loan, although her SSN did.

The Treasury Department's position was that they gave proper due process to the family member before taking our money.

The situation didn't move until our US Senator spoke to a deputy director at the Treasury Department. At that point the Treasury Department apologized for the misunderstanding and refunded the money.

The sad thing is that without my Senator stepping in, we would have had zero recourse on the matter.

From what I understand, the Nokia N8 works pretty much everywhere. It also has a micro-USB connector and can even be a USB host, allowing the phone to read and write a thumb drive.

I have to agree. I too live in the Springs and their service is amazing, consistent and fast. Even their techs which they send out have their act together, are polite, friendly, and quick to admit the limits of their knowledge. Truly a joy to work with.

Their phone "support" (and I use that term loosely), on the other hand, is a shining example of mind-numbing stupidity. The phone folks, I kid you not, cannot even give me a listing of the channels available in the potpourri of packages I subscribe to. Really, they can't list the channels. If their internet is having issues (hey, it happens), they cannot accept your word for it until you reboot everything in the house. Their cable modems lock up regularly and one time that I was masochistic enough to call and report it, they made me reboot a server which takes 25 minutes to cycle, before they would accept that I had an issue. Their solution was to replace the cable modem with a new one which poisoned all of the DNS caches until it was "configured" using a Windows machine, which I don't have. Literally, my wife called me at work after she exchanged the modem because the home phone, tivo, internet, Wii, her cell phone and an Xbox360 quit connecting.

In short, if you never have to call 800-I-hate-comcast, their service is fantastic.

Don't install it under VirtualBox. VB gets confused about the X software and you lose all of the guest addition goodness.

That said, it didn't like my Acer laptop either and barfed partway through the upgrade leaving my laptop useless. As I write this I am reinstalling from the net onto an iSCSI volume.

Good times.

Or, you could just read their slides. On the page titled, "Work Done So Far" you can see "Replaced closed bits of libc (including full locale support)"

...does it run RISC OS?

Now that's funny.

Seriously, an ARM based netBook would be a radically advanced idea.

We live in EPOC times.

Poor Psion, ten years too soon, all over again.

I am running Ubuntu Fiesty and tried to upgrade to Gutsy, but thier server is overloaded.

Man, your regex is wierd.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
