After examining the contents of an MHT file, I can see that these absolute paths are actually the original URLs on the WAN (not an absolute local path, which is what you might think considering MS is...

Re: the browser doesn't know what an MHT file is -- what does?

That is not a problem of the MHT format. It's a problem with IE, if IE is used to create the files. I don't use IE, and I doubt there are many users who do, who are keen to do offline captures. IE...

Re: the browser doesn't know what an MHT file is -- what does?

I've done that with pages I capture once, then need permanent access to without updates.

But that's a messy 6 step process for each page. It's too cumbersome when you're saving an itinerary or...

Re: the browser doesn't know what an MHT file is -- what does?

I first tried fennec, which turned out to be way too bloated for an n800. I had to clear off 27MB for it. Then it crawled.. the n800 just doesn't have enough cpu for it. And it also ran out of...

the browser doesn't know what an MHT file is -- what does?

The file manager has no associations for *.mht files. I tried forcing the web browser to open one, and I couldn't even get it to list mht files.

Are there any apps to view MHT files?

I could...

Add an Ada compiler to attract aerospace engineers

There is currently no Ada compiler for the ARM processor. This limitation has a chilling effect on development.

Re: Use CCD noise to make the random number generator uncrackable

I take that to indicate the compression algorithm in ent is not taking advantage of all forms of repetition. Having a disproportionately high number of very short patterns (of 06 and 16), for...

Re: Use CCD noise to make the random number generator uncrackable

It's not proven either way, but generally considered cryptographically sound. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LavaRnd

Re: Use CCD noise to make the random number generator uncrackable

It's apparently not very random. I just grabbed a sample by running this on the device:

dd if=/dev/hwrng of=dump

In visually examining the hex, I noticed a heck of a lot of 16's. To see if I...
