Re: pairing hp bluetooth laser mouse

Pairing is easy - but that is only the bluetooth equivalent to plugging in a USB cable, and in computers a cable alone rarely ever makes a device work. IIRC neither the kernel nor the X server are...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Roadmap-1.1.0j-2 released. Now in Extras Repo!

Nice, so far. But my current position is drawn about three miles west, as compared to reality and all other map apps... Sure there is no flaw in the calculations for the eastern hemisphere?

Re: Details about the GPS chip in N810

There IS no US specific software. Sure you are downloading the software for the right device and not for another model?

Re: true dial up possible????

That is data dial-up, where the phone connects via a modem residing at a data center of the network operator - which is generally billed separately (or even blocked) in flat-rate plans.

Nope. Your unlimited voice call plan will almost certainly not contain unlimited data calls, and due to the data reduction on voice channels, passing data over a voice connection is only possible...
