Re: Facebook Die

I was wrong, I don't how it got so mixed up.

Anyhow, I had to wait 4 hours until facebook sent me a code I should use via SMS.
Using that generated code as the password it finally worked.

Re: Soldering advice needed for re-attaching N900 USB to mainboard.

Anyone done a mod to expose the 5V and gnd as large pads on the outside, since it seems the usb connector is so prone to wear & tear?
Or is it possible to get at the charger through another way than...

Re: Is N900 the last resistive touch screen device ever made on earth?

One, important factor, or let's say THE most important factor for n900 to choose a resistive screen, is the accuracy.

n900 uses predominantly the same software that runs on your PC, which are...

Re: Is N900 the last resistive touch screen device ever made on earth?

Both have advantages and disadvantages, which have been discussed for much longer than a decade.
It's silly when people speak about one being "better" than the other.
Although, I think...

Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)

I think this, on the front page of the site, says it all:

Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)

If the battery suddenly flies off (with no cap + interrupt-sync) you've got bigger problems with the filesystem to worry about than an update gone bad. You can always re-install the package(s) over...

Re: Time for an open maemo fork?

I don't see NOR going anywhere, especially as small boot devices, since you can execute-in-place, it saves a lot of ram, decreases boot-up times and increases performance.

Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)

Re: Time for an open maemo fork?

I suspect they just redirect it somewhere else, probably since Qt does some of it's own argument parsing among other things, they just want you to do it "their way" instead of using printf()...

Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)

Fragmentation is what happens when something isn't good enough, at least in the free software world.
The bar is set much higher than in commercial software since the goal is "good software" not...

Re: Time for an open maemo fork?

Yes, syncing is not as easy as it first looks, and all approaches have severe down sides.

Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)

I'm not sure I totally agree with you there, if everyone runs after the same big bucks, everyone profits only a little.
But If you cater for a market that everyone else ignores, you earn the big...

Re: Time for an open maemo fork?

I like the wringing part.



String parsing is also inherently dynamic, along with a higher likelyhood of timeouts, races and security issues.

Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)

All the browsers should be taken out and shot one by one, until the internet becomes text again. Then browsing the web will be fast, even on a phone. :D

Nobody dare mention WAP!

Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)

more apps = maintenance nightmare

I for one don't want a phone that is made to cater for the majority. Since I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it.
For example, the "majority" doesn't seem to care...

Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)

I was blaming the 1st party, ie. Nokia. Who left a lot of the initially installed, and most used (on a phone) apps to rot, while focusing on something else.
I'm not saying that something else wasn't...

Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)

Ok, please don't flame me for this, but in my opinion maemo has loads of apps for just about any task, most of them great.
But many of the new maemo specific apps were not entirely up to what you'd...
