Re: Killer App suggestion

Isn't that what everyone does when moving and waitin for adsl? I used giffgaff, real unlimited data for £12 a month. With HSPA+ you can stream video if you want.

if you...

...disagree with the panel at Cloudcamp you are supposed to red card them and er storm the stage... (actually I was on the panel for a bit).

There are still stupid Java bastions left - online meeting software, browser based VPNs, and a whole bunch of stuff in banking.

surely?

You don't even need an O2 mobile of your own, you can use someone else's if they do not have o2 broadband. So the people at O2 told me... Moved to fibre now though.

The "hazy computers" are at a not so hazy 102 in the top 500 http://www.top500.org/site/50321

networking

See this post about what you need to direct connect PCIe

So you need a small amount of device to deal with clocking and master/slave issues but not a lot...

Linux

Re: Cattle Class

Thats a Chromebook then? You can wipe ChromeOS and install a normal ARM Linux distro. Although not sure exactly what size they are maybe they are too big for this as I have no yet seen one...

Linux

surely?

Somehow the prices managed to go up I think. My Eee cost around £135 from memory and used it for many years. £200+ was ridiculous. I think that was to pay the Windows tax plus the higher specs Windows needed. If only the Linux distros they shipped with hadnt been so bad, as most people do not know how to install Ubuntu or whatever to make them work.

problem is...

... there is no 100Gb ethernet upstream. No point having 10Gb on server without faster uplink.

Er?

Flame appears to be a perfectly normal piece of Lua software

This is not new. Peanuts do that for example (thats why they are called groundnuts). They flower and then bury the seed underground...

Stop

Hmmm

They are openly saying they will break EU law? Makes the due diligence easier, just say no. Clearly good scope for EU companies in this market then.

blocking ping

Your ISP probably isnt blocking ping, the box they gave you is. You can disable this usually. I had that issue with getting my tunnel working on O2.

Jobs Halo

still crap

And mobile Me is still crap, gives you less than what you can get for free from Google, but for $99 a year. They have not added any convincing services to it since launch either. It was the only way to do over the air sync of calenders and contacts, but now you can do those with Google instead, though the Jobs phone cant have more than one Exchange account.

justincormack
WTF?

Services?

Nokia is not going to win in services either - look at the Ovi music store.

WP7 phones are hard to differentiate with Microsoft locking down the platform specs to try to stop Android style fragmentation.. oops.

Unhappy

They just called...

They are cancelling the existing packages and trying to get everyone to move to the new ones.
