   (wasn't intended to be snarky, I don't think there's anything wrong with doing the same project for 10 years. That's how long it takes to hit the home run. Maybe the whole "10,000 hours" thing is more finely targeted than people initially a

   More specifically, it seems you have to do basically the same project for 10 years too.

   I suspect it was probably more like Skype rushing to get the IPO done after Google bought Gizmo5. They had to know it was coming pretty quick.

   Hah! Was this really written after Oracle sued Google? So RIM should give up patent protection to switch to Dalvik?

   They'll likely keep selling some relatively high-end through the dev phone program.

    I've said this before, but this is so disappointing. Canada's cell phone market is so horribly warped and the N1 was one of the few attempts to push things slightly towards sane.

    Uh oh, we're at week two now, in what sounds like a very similar situation. I was hoping I could do a decent amount of work by 4-6 weeks. 12+ weeks of feeling crazy/no work is going to be tough. Well... fingers crossed I guess.

    Care to expand? I'm not especially familiar with them other than they make some casual games.

    Heh, it sets language to Simplified rather than Traditional too. I'd guess this'll all be considered a bit too cheeky?

    I'm a bit skeptical on backgammon too after playing the 'real' (non-capturing) version against turks/lebanese. Certainly it's not chess, but substantially complex.

    I think that's just tunneling to a server side implementation though. What I meant was that it'd be neat to have JS that actually implemented the client ssh and xterm/whatever emulation so you wouldn't need to go through the intermediate fo

    Nifty. Has anyone attempted a full ssh + term emu? Could probably get away with using ChromeOS then.

    Isn't there some old anti-trust thing that doesn't let them push IE updates? That was my recollection. Edit, security ok, version upgrade not ok.

    Oh yes. And then there's "release" and "release-final" (because we started putting a few asserts into release after dropping "debug"). And then "release", "release-final", and "release-final-final" because marketing needed some functionalit

    I strongly suspect this product would not be approved to run Android Market.

    by s3graham 16y ago

    Totally agree. It used to be that's why I stuck with Windows, everything had a relatively painless exe installer. Nowadays, the reliability, ease, and huge scope of apt-get completely bests everything I've ever used.

    320ppi is getting to be pretty sweet. Hook me up with a 30" version, along with one more doubling of ppi and it's going to be amazing.
