I got in. I'm planning on going and attending as many sessions as I can. My work training budget is empty so I'm self funding. (flying in from Austin and currently trying to find a couch to crash on.) I'm not going to lie, the supposed H

I respect that Zed is doing this but I have one question about the post. '... so that nobody picks on you ...' This will be my 6th PyCon and I have _never_ seen anyone being picked on. Anyone care to enlighten me? Otherwise it seems like

Thank you! I am going to try this out at work where I am forced to use a windows desktop.

Right, but there are layers that can't be pre-rendered (satellite) or are probably slow to render (terrain).

That doesn't make sense to me, the article clearly says "pre-rendered". Maybe they don't render the middle of the ocean tiles beforehand but there would be no reason not to save a tile once it has been rendered.

How long before they push this to canvas in the browsers is my question.

the math on this is pretty staggering to me. 360 billion 256 pixel square image tiles is about 21PB! (uncompressed, of course) http://www.google.com/search?q=(256*256*360000000000)%20byte... and you know they have multiple copies cached a

Me too except for my Android device. I have to 'Share' those links that I find on my phone by emailing myself. Serious pain point for me.

We agree to disagree. I don't see any of these things as issues for my use case. My parents don't have a computer now. They don't want to listen to music and they mostly want to consume pictures of their grandkids which we would email to

My parents, my in-laws, and to some degree my wife and kids. I was lucky enough to receive a Cr-48 and it's been in constant use for the small time we've had it. Some of that is the 'new' factor but my wife has a regular laptop that she us

That stinks. I didn't verify the download links, sorry. I have mine in a 'bin' folder that gets copied to each new PC in turn.

For windows users this project http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ has 'pclip' and 'gclip' which do the same thing as 'pbcopy' and 'pbpaste'. I have been using this technique for years (without the remote stuff described in the article).

It's totally hilarious to me that you had to protect your captcha breaker with a captcha.

That is why I'm interested in it. I find that I like the pure Android experience much better than Sense/Motoblur/etc.
