Re: Optification of C compiler and friends

Optification of C compiler and friends

Re: Italian keyboard has crippled arrow keys
No space for a d-pad. Would I accept smaller keys to allow for a d-pad?
I am also Italian, but I have never used an Italian keyboard for work. Always a US-layout one. Up to the point of often...

Re: N900 shipping delayed
I am personally very grateful to Nokia that they have conceived, produced, and almost put on sale exactly the telephone I wished to have. After a few Palm Treos, I got a E61i (when it had been...
