   I'm using it right now. It's quite a bit faster than FF 3.5b4 on my machine. Options aren't implemented, yet it imported all of my Firefox stuff without a hitch (I've yet to see this work on Windows for me).

   If you use aptitude/APT (I haven't looked at the deb in dpkg), the chromium-browser package doesn't install msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer. chromium-testsuite depends on them, so you might not want to install that.

    If you're running Linux on EC2 (or anywhere else for that matter), I strongly suggest you pick up an introductory Linux book. Any decent one will tell you about modeless editors like nano/pico, as well as introduce you to modal ones like Vi

    The idea that you're protected by the DMCA is your opinion and not a legal fact. How do you know they haven't consulted a lawyer about this?

    Can anyone shed some light on the difficulties involved in upgrading a codebase of that size?

    I don't think there's any obscurity; this is high school calculus. If the rate of change (first derivative, negative in this case) is slowing, that means the second derivative is positive here. I'm not yet convinced this is a sign of things

    Very true. Best Buy is selling the 8330 (Verizon's Curve) for $39 this week (at least in NY); even on an off week, it's normally $100 there, which is a comparatively low barrier to entry into the smartphone market. I've seen 5 of my friends

    Note: I would bend over backwards to pay for something like this. Somebody make this something that I want. To those that are about to tell me to make it myself, I'm not quite there yet. Soon though ;-)

    I've traditionally used Foxmarks (now called Xmarks) for organization (it allows me to access my bookmarks when I'm in the computer lab at school, for example), and recently created a Delicious account because my.foxmarks is awful. I've fou

    As someone who owns a Curve (and whose girlfriend has an iPhone 3G), I must say that I'm very happy with my choice. I definitely prefer the physical keyboard, one inbox for SMS/email, a bright flash for the camera (although picture quality
