Re: Crayon Physics & internet tablets: made for each other

Nice to see Seamus McNally's name living on in this way.

I've never forgotten John Carmack's supremely moving story about McNally. See his .plan archive from March 2000.

Re: The Nokia N810 Walkthrough - Part I

Good point.

The next-gen screen surface had better be more durable, too. After a mere nine months, my n800 screen is marred from ordinary usage. This has changed my appreciation for the product...

Re: An 800 pound gorilla has just entered the room.

It's a sexy bit of Apple design, naturally.

But I'll take my more powerful n800, thank you. I don't spend my days in Starbucks buying Apple's overpriced DRM-poisoned music while watching YouTube...

Re: interested and have questions

No Linux knowledge is necessary. The N800 is a pick-up-and-use device.

About all you'll need is the patience to learn its interface, the time to search this message board for answers to...

Re: Offtopic: Freedom politics for free software junkies.

I like Ron Paul's anti-interventionism as well as his wish to defang government. I'd read a few pieces by him on Counterpunch, where his iconoclasm surprisingly (for a Texas Republican) fit in with...

Alternative to DC-4 car charger for N800?

I need a car charger in a hurry and can't track down the Nokia DC-4 in town (Mpls-St. Paul).

Does anyone know of a good alternative mobile charger for car use?

Re: what N800 should have been ( N900 could be? )

I'm pretty much an average user. Computers are simply tools to me; there is no Zen and the Art love between us, just sort of a lasting truce. I can find my way around flavors of Windows and OS X...

Re: Moderators Poll

No, thanks. I prefer those who are capable of acting like adults to do so on their own and, when they fail, to amuse me by insulting each other.

So, to revise the ancient Greeks for modern geeks:...

Re: Will this approach work for watching video on the N800?

Same results as Karel using Iriverter 0.16 for Windows, with rheve's profile settings. I converted an unprotected 720x480 DVD source to 400x240 for the N800, and Iriverter was pretty speedy about...

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out

Re: Reliability of the N800
