Jun 23 03:48:23 guess Jun 23 03:48:54 guess as is said in counter page Jun 23 03:49:34 in past I think most of time when it was said that news was coming it usually did game in time Jun 23 03:50:17 guessing percentages huh? sort of misleading I guess Jun 23 03:50:35 or maybe it's just me, but when I see percentages I assume it's a mathematical something or other :-P Jun 23 03:51:12 hehe, well.. if 3 news and 2 has come in time, that would be somewhat like this ;-) Jun 23 03:51:44 :-) Jun 23 03:52:14 I'm hoping it gets to the point where the software will be usable enough Jun 23 03:52:34 * summatusmentis was impressed by the iPhone walkthrough he saw on apple.com today Jun 23 03:52:58 except it's way overpriced, and I'd rather have the neo Jun 23 04:05:09 * Linux_Galore waves Jun 23 04:05:19 hi Linux_Galore Jun 23 04:18:05 hi Linux_Galore, again :-P Jun 23 04:18:45 don't press the big red button Jun 23 04:19:18 lol Jun 23 04:36:58 Hmm.. Something I'm looking forward to doing if/when the OM gets a camera-- doing a 'high quality JPEG rescaling mode'. A friend just sent me a photo from his new Nokia N95, and it creates these worthlessly large 5Mpix images with savagely decimated chromiance & etc, that only look good after using GIMP to scale them down to 800x600 and saving the images /properly/... Jun 23 04:41:35 what's the possible Mpix count on the neo cam? Jun 23 04:54:41 future Neo/whatever with potential cam could have different chip Jun 23 04:55:41 baird: I use Digikam and it has a built in image editor that allow me to import the image from the N95 then resize, fix the colour balance chroma etc then save it to my image database Jun 23 04:56:06 allows* Jun 23 04:57:13 GTA02 chip currently being evaluated (but pins needed for camera are not put to connector) http://www.smediatech.com/product3370.htm ) Jun 23 04:58:33 I have a feeling too there is an image editor program that you can run on the N95 to resize edit the colour/chroma etc before you save or send the image Jun 23 05:00:31 I just had a look at my N95 and there is an image editor built in Jun 23 05:01:07 Ive only taken about 4 pictures with mine so far I usually use a proper camera Jun 23 05:03:06 for all the functionality that the N95 offers none of it is what i would call good, the whole device is about compromises Jun 23 05:03:28 I recharge the bloody thing every night Jun 23 05:04:48 the mp3 player is rubbish (sound wise) compared to an iPOD Jun 23 05:06:13 it has an equalizer but that like using a $1,000 equalizer with a $50 amp, wast of time Jun 23 05:06:19 that is* Jun 23 05:07:59 I have used sennhesier cx300 headphones with each so I cant complain that the headset is the problem Jun 23 05:08:16 headphones sorry Jun 23 05:12:32 Ive been told if you want to use the N95 for audio get some bluetooth headphones that way you dont have to listen to the poor quality of the a-d converter Jun 23 05:13:08 I must admit though the N95 with bluetooth devices is pretty good Jun 23 08:28:44 counter Jun 23 08:28:44 http://londerings.novalis.org/wlog/index.php?title=Neo1973_counter (65% for P1<=2007-07-07) 70% for *news* in 2 days 01:45:36 (2.073±2.1 days) (1554;236) Jun 23 08:28:58 counter Jun 23 08:28:59 http://londerings.novalis.org/wlog/index.php?title=Neo1973_counter (65% for P1<=2007-07-07) 70% for *news* in 2 days 01:45:28 (2.073±2.1 days) (1555;236) Jun 23 08:55:18 counter Jun 23 08:55:18 http://londerings.novalis.org/wlog/index.php?title=Neo1973_counter (65% for P1<=2007-07-07) 70% for *news* in 2 days 01:32:19 (2.064±2.1 days) (1556;236) Jun 23 08:55:23 counter Jun 23 08:55:23 http://londerings.novalis.org/wlog/index.php?title=Neo1973_counter (65% for P1<=2007-07-07) 70% for *news* in 2 days 01:32:16 (2.064±2.1 days) (1557;236) Jun 23 08:55:27 counter Jun 23 08:55:28 http://londerings.novalis.org/wlog/index.php?title=Neo1973_counter (65% for P1<=2007-07-07) 70% for *news* in 2 days 01:32:14 (2.064±2.1 days) (1558;236) Jun 23 08:55:56 * gamin is slightly bored Jun 23 08:56:12 counter Jun 23 08:56:13 http://londerings.novalis.org/wlog/index.php?title=Neo1973_counter (65% for P1<=2007-07-07) 70% for *news* in 2 days 01:31:51 (2.064±2.1 days) (1559;236) Jun 23 09:06:07 hi @ all Jun 23 09:08:04 can ne 1 of you tell me, where to get this rootfs-file which i have to extract when getting openmoko working on host with xoo?

Can you recommend a small to medium sized thing, that works well with linux? (I'd appreciate not having to install any binary-only drivers) Jun 23 10:00:55 jeddy3 - BTW: What does "bahnhof" stand for in .se? It has a german meaning, that's, why I ask.

Jun 23 10:02:39 yeah, Intel gear is fully supported in the kernel Jun 23 10:02:45 which these days pretty much means no amd Jun 23 10:02:46 jeddy3 - railway station. Jun 23 10:02:47 the more of it the better I say lol Jun 23 10:03:02 maybe except for intel 4965 wireless Jun 23 10:03:07 that might not be supported yet Jun 23 10:03:14 should be in short order anyway Jun 23 10:03:16 Elrond, ah ok, it's just a name of a company here Jun 23 10:03:26 buz: last i looked thats been fixed Jun 23 10:03:26 intel 3945 wireless is perfect Jun 23 10:03:31 oh good then Jun 23 10:03:34 jeddy3 - funny name choosing. :) Jun 23 10:03:42 i checked 10d ago Jun 23 10:03:45 then it wasnt fixed iirc Jun 23 10:04:05 thoug if you want wireless aim for a older intel version, fewer bugs Jun 23 10:04:20 unless you really really need draft N that is Jun 23 10:04:33 draft N?

Jun 23 18:29:23 is there any idea as to the price range of the P1.5/P2? Jun 23 18:30:08 topic Jun 23 18:30:31 so it'll be $350, regardless of what version of phone it is? Jun 23 18:30:46 probably Jun 23 18:30:55 No. There is just no info on P1.5/P2 pricing. Jun 23 18:31:10 elliotf: hrm... ok, thanks Jun 23 18:31:11 but it is still the same device Jun 23 18:31:14 There is some hope for an alike price. But that's it. AFAIK. Jun 23 18:31:35 it is just usable version Jun 23 18:31:49 or i am wrong Jun 23 18:31:56 someone mentioned wifi Jun 23 18:32:03 but that is just rumon Jun 23 18:32:05 right, there will be updated specs Jun 23 18:32:07 Magon - The P1.5/P2 (GTA02) has more features, more flash, more CPU, etc... So no "same device" Jun 23 18:32:25 It just looks the same from outside. Jun 23 18:32:34 And will run the same kernel/rootfs. Jun 23 18:33:46 it's really too bad development isn't moving along faster Jun 23 18:37:10 summatusmentis - Well, it's hardware, keep that in mind. Jun 23 18:37:24 With normal products, you wouldn't even know anything. Jun 23 18:37:38 and/or get a crappy product. Jun 23 18:47:15 Elrond: developement of simple Hw stuff takes usually year Jun 23 18:47:20 grr Jun 23 18:47:25 to summatusmentis Jun 23 19:18:01 Elrond: what do you mean? I'm not familiar w/ the dev process, since it's hardware and software, it just extends it? is that what you're saying? Jun 23 19:20:16 What I am saying: With normal products you would not know about a product before it hits the store in your town. You would not know, how many years it took to design it. Jun 23 19:21:22 Elrond: that's true, that's a fair assesment. I was actually just sitting here thinking "why is fic taking so long compared to the iPhone?" but you're right Jun 23 19:21:37 I guess that's the nature of open{source,anything} Jun 23 19:21:52 open from the get-go Jun 23 19:21:58 summatusmentis actually the iphone isnt out Jun 23 19:22:12 and god knows how many bugs it will have Jun 23 19:22:20 woglinde: no, I'm aware of that Jun 23 19:22:41 it'll be out in a week, but I'm fully aware that there's no real comparison yet Jun 23 19:23:17 i dont belivie it will be a cool phone Jun 23 19:23:55 I think it has the same strengths that the neo will have, except for the open platform Jun 23 19:24:08 personally, I'm excited about this 'next-generation' of phones Jun 23 19:25:30 woglinde: you may think about apple what you want but they usually make their gadgets appear pretty cool Jun 23 19:26:26 that's very true, and again, I was just using the iPhone as an example. I'll just have to learn to be patient :-P Jun 23 19:27:12 * summatusmentis goes to work some more Jun 23 19:27:33 I'll be back later, I'm not trying to bash the openmoko project at all, I think it's great what people are doing Jun 23 19:28:29 I'll be even cooler when more devices get out iunto the wild ;) Jun 23 19:33:30 Aha - the strategy is to release on the same day as Iphone, to avoid slashdot! Jun 23 19:35:13 summatusmentis: It is _possible_ that Apple have a rather larger design team and budget. Jun 23 20:19:29 SpeedEvil: hehe (about same date) Jun 23 20:20:08 also we don't know how long iPhone has been in development Jun 23 20:21:36 SpeedEvil: :-P that's true, like I said, I haven't thought about these things thoroughly, as I'm unfamiliar with the process Jun 23 20:25:26 nox-hand: its now 1.8 days + 1.8 days of uncertainty to either direction Jun 23 20:25:54 so range of counter is now 0-3.6 days Jun 23 20:26:21 (also see end of counter page) Jun 23 20:26:44 Yup Jun 23 20:26:47 THanks Jun 23 20:29:42 (script) wiki RecentChanges: [[Getting_OpenMoko_working_on_host_with_Xephyr]] Jun 23 21:21:20 will the phone be available worldwide? Jun 23 21:21:44 or specifically, will it be available in germany? Jun 23 21:23:32 what is the wheel looking thing in these mockups? Jun 23 21:23:50 what mockups? Jun 23 21:24:24 the artist mockups on the UI on wiki.openmoko.org Jun 23 21:24:32 expose: yes it will be available in germany Jun 23 21:24:57 Good. Thanks Jun 23 21:25:44 summatusmentis: its a wheel to scroll through stuff :) Jun 23 21:25:48 counter Jun 23 21:25:49 http://londerings.novalis.org/wlog/index.php?title=Neo1973_counter (65% for P1<=2007-07-07) 70% for *news* in a day 19:17:03 (1.804±1.8 days) (1565;237) Jun 23 21:26:04 miip: lol, oh Jun 23 21:26:16 it just looks sort of random, I was like "what in the world is that for?" Jun 23 21:26:38 Heh Jun 23 21:27:28 * nox-Hand rejoices Jun 23 21:27:34 What's this "anyone can buy for $350" bit? Jun 23 21:27:49 Is that not mass market? Jun 23 21:28:03 Or will they only be available from FIC? Jun 23 21:28:28 Twey: Only 1000 units afaik Jun 23 21:28:32 Then some more later Jun 23 21:28:37 Ah Jun 23 21:28:45 Mass market (nuff for everyone) in September Jun 23 21:29:01 * Twey nods. Jun 23 21:29:01 Twey: The ones out soon are targeted at developers that will make it awesome for us when we get ours in September Jun 23 21:29:02 nox-Hand: nope "Mass market perhaps in 6 months or more..." see the topic Jun 23 21:29:20 summatusmentis: read http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Finger_Scrolling its explained there Jun 23 21:29:21 when we get ours in 6months Jun 23 21:29:33 miip: ok, thanks :-) Jun 23 21:29:44 How wide is the application base? Jun 23 21:31:37 Puns! http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l214/Ymdar/Motivator/raidovermoscow.jpg Jun 23 21:31:39 oops Jun 23 21:31:43 morning Jun 23 21:31:54 nox-Hand: September is _Very_ unlikely. Jun 23 21:33:26 SpeedEvil: Yeah :( Jun 23 21:34:12 Well - unless FIC gets _really_ excited about the project, and starts spreading the beer tokens around. Jun 23 21:34:58 miip: I see that being sort of annoying, hitting the bottom of the screen on a regular basis(assuming it operates like the iPod touchwheel) Jun 23 21:36:18 summatusmentis: yeah a hardware wheel/scrollpad or something would be better Jun 23 21:36:37 or even just a scroll down button Jun 23 21:36:45 * SpeedEvil is going to be adding buttons. Jun 23 21:37:16 SpeedEvil: hardware buttons? Jun 23 21:38:43 Yes. Jun 23 21:38:53 * SpeedEvil waves a soldering iron in a menacing manner. Jun 23 21:39:18 Haha Jun 23 21:39:31 * rwhitby will develop on a neo without a keyboard, but it won't replace his treo650 until it has a keyboard. Jun 23 21:39:45 (a future model that is) Jun 23 21:40:22 I'm not adding a keyboard - that'd be silly. Jun 23 21:40:32 A capacitive joystick - perhaps. Jun 23 21:40:33 SpeedEvil: Agreed, but we need more buttons :( Jun 23 21:40:57 SpeedEvil: keyboard ftl, but something like a scrollwheel with a click option would be awesomely useful Jun 23 21:41:04 SpeedEvil: i'll make mine watertight Jun 23 21:41:11 http://www.analog.com/en/press/0,2890,3%255F%255F127985,00.html Jun 23 21:41:11 expose: haha Jun 23 21:41:15 SpeedEvil: maybe silly for you, not for me. Jun 23 21:41:23 expose is not going to expose his Neo to the elements Jun 23 21:41:40 nox-Hand: it may fail in hard vacuum. Jun 23 21:42:03 xP Jun 23 21:42:04 nox-Hand: LCDs may not be adequately sealed, and the speakers won't work well. Jun 23 21:42:14 SpeedEvil: agreed Jun 23 21:42:44 as long as it doesnt have a joystick it's fine...those beasts break extremely often due to dust it's exposed to in everyday life Jun 23 21:43:09 * nox-Hand gets up to clear up his room and quickly regrets downing that brown ale so quickly >_< Jun 23 21:43:18 Capacitive joystick - with no moving parts Jun 23 21:43:20 something like the blackberry scrollwheeel would be nice Jun 23 21:43:21 works through the case Jun 23 21:44:46 Just a 'locator pip' on the outside, for feeling. Jun 23 23:01:38 * rwhitby just watched the OpenMoko at Tossug video, and LaForge looks about 15 years younger than what I expected given the amount of stuff he has done in his career already ... Jun 23 23:02:10 rwhitby: 28 IIRC Jun 23 23:02:59 rwhitby: pretty fast career indeed. But he works ~80h a week for that. Jun 23 23:03:03 ok, so he also looks young for his age too (at least to me) :-) Jun 23 23:04:52 * rwhitby notes the reference to MokoMakefile in Harald's talk :-) Jun 23 23:10:03 hehe. :-) Jun 23 23:10:50 * stefan_schmidt notices that e is still using CVS. :( Jun 23 23:17:01 * Linux_Galore waves Jun 23 23:18:24 counter Jun 23 23:18:25 http://londerings.novalis.org/wlog/index.php?title=Neo1973_counter (65% for P1<=2007-07-07) 70% for *news* in a day 18:20:45 (1.764±1.8 days) (1566;237) Jun 23 23:20:10 stefan_schmidt - What's so wrong with cvs? It scales better than svn's fsfs and takes less disk space. Jun 23 23:21:58 Elrond: Disk space is cheap. For scaling do you have numbers? It feels really slow. Jun 23 23:22:26 Elrond: Besides that I'm not a fan of working around all the problems it have. Jun 23 23:22:47 Elrond: But please not another SCM discussion here. Jun 23 23:24:40 Time to sleep anyway. Night all Jun 23 23:25:00 Night stefan_schmidt :-) Jun 23 23:25:08 Hi LaF0rge Jun 23 23:26:27 stefan_schmidt - Well, my base point is only "don't condemn cvs so generally". Jun 23 23:34:30 Anyone a good recommendation for a small db that can do record level locking? Jun 23 23:40:31 svn = making the same mistakes as cvs but better Jun 23 23:42:10 "The Mozilla CVS repository was 2.7GB, imported to Subversion it grew to 8.2GB. Under Git, it shrunk to 450MB." ( http://keithp.com/blog/Repository_Formats_Matter.html ) Jun 23 23:42:59 10GB costs nothing... Jun 23 23:43:16 reading it is expensive though Jun 23 23:43:27 could be :) Jun 23 23:43:37 bench, bemch, bench Jun 23 23:43:54 ynezz - That's the old microsoft way of talking "Buy better hardware" ;o) Jun 23 23:44:02 why not Jun 23 23:44:08 it's cheap Jun 23 23:44:23 Well, see the factors. It's factor 4. Jun 23 23:44:35 if svn is much faster than git, then there i an argument for it. Jun 23 23:44:37 So if it took 500GB before, it will be 2TB after. Jun 23 23:44:49 there's no git client on windows Jun 23 23:44:51 If not... Jun 23 23:45:03 or wasn't last time I checked Jun 23 23:45:40 git is written quite specifically to run on linux Jun 23 23:46:37 The windows port is getting better each day. Jun 23 23:47:04 But anyway. I only posted it for the comparison of cvs and svn. Jun 23 23:47:24 cvs/svn are good from smaller single point projects but when your working across the web and something with tens of thousands of files forget it Jun 23 23:47:34 oops Jun 23 23:47:51 cvs/svn is good for smaller* Jun 23 23:49:08 I turned my /home directory into a svn setup just for fun Jun 23 23:49:21 last time I will do that Jun 23 23:49:40 Why? Jun 23 23:50:03 Elrond: why, as in why did I do it ? Jun 23 23:50:15 No, why "last time". Jun 23 23:50:46 Elrond: aah, starts to become too complex when your moving between distro's Jun 23 23:51:01 Huh? Jun 23 23:52:46 Elrond: also it adds another layer of complexity that didnt really add much advantage for me when beagle/auto-backup worked just as well Jun 23 23:55:10 Linux_Galore - You any hint on my db question? Jun 23 23:58:06 ?? SQLite Jun 24 00:01:44 They should give out awards for people who figure out git heh Jun 24 00:03:30 Mozilla 3 will be using sqlite, many Linux apps (amarok is one) us it Jun 24 00:03:38 use* Jun 24 00:08:39 Well, sqlite doesn't do api controlled record level locking. Jun 24 00:11:00 It's only table level locking. Jun 24 00:13:39 Has any thought been give to screen readers? Jun 24 00:14:36 Being able to read SMS and do 'stuff' just using bluetooth voice, with it in the pocket would be nice. Jun 24 00:15:29 SpeedEvil: is there even anything with that functionality available for any OS? Jun 24 00:15:39 Sort-of. Jun 24 00:15:50 Readers yes, but I didn't know there was voice-activated commands Jun 24 00:15:52 There are linux distributions available for screen readers Jun 24 00:16:07 Windows has voice commands. Jun 24 00:16:31 google windows voice virus Jun 24 00:16:56 Free speech recognition under linux, well, it's lagging a bit. Jun 24 00:17:24 Elrond: thought they enabled that in Ver 3.0 Jun 24 00:18:26 yeah, if i was going to pick something that Linux really lags on right now it would be speech recognition Jun 24 00:18:47 worse than OS flashplayer? Jun 24 00:20:19 summatusmentis: yeah well at least it "plays some things", with speech recognitions its a desert Jun 24 00:20:48 There are some interesting projects on sourceforge. Jun 24 00:21:06 so there may be a need for a ground-up solution? Jun 24 00:21:14 Linux_Galore - 2.x: whole db level locking. Version 3.x: table level locking. Jun 24 00:21:23 I remember going to a talk done by a visually disabled person and its only then you start to see some of the problems Jun 24 00:21:38 And there are pay-lots-for server stuff, aimed at telephone automation of switchboards Jun 24 00:22:01 'tsp' uses a speech reader and a conventional keyboard. Jun 24 00:22:10 The speech reader going at 600wpm or so Jun 24 00:24:16 Microsoft has a workshop project it sponsors to create software add ons for disabled people (Microsoft makes a total loss on the venture) Jun 24 00:24:35 SpeedEvil: http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/01/13/1445211 Jun 24 00:24:46 very little if any equivalent for FOSS Jun 24 00:25:17 Linux_Galore - The best way to make windows useable for me: Set the screen resolution to 800x600. ;o) Jun 24 00:25:42 * SpeedEvil is running at 800*600 Jun 24 00:25:44 lappy Jun 24 00:26:01 SpeedEvil: looks like it's... rough, to say the least, but there might be something to build off of Jun 24 00:26:08 Elrond: well the only really redeeming feature for Linux and the visually disabled is you can do just about everything at the command line Jun 24 00:26:24 Right. Jun 24 00:26:52 Guess what my screen looks like? Right: bunches of 80x24 xterms with a diagonal of about 15". ;-) Jun 24 00:26:57 Elrond: but visually disabled people dont like being isolated in that manner and do like using a UI Jun 24 00:28:19 it amusing to watch a visually disabled person using the Gnome UI with its built in speech reader that doesnt work really well for all the menu's Jun 24 00:28:30 I have a few UI applications, I use: firefox, gimp, openoffice. Jun 24 00:28:41 summatusmentis: if it can't do speech recognition in a timely manner on a 1500Mhz processor, ... Jun 24 00:28:54 (going from the page comments) Jun 24 00:29:08 ew... ok, I didn't read the comments Jun 24 00:29:28 so perhaps it's bad coding, or perhaps it needs high CPU Jun 24 00:30:32 There were some university research projects, and they even tried to create a version for handheld devices... Jun 24 00:31:13 It's a shame IBM pulled viavoice Jun 24 00:31:20 Elrond: there was an IBM project for speech recognition but they seem to have dropped it Jun 24 00:31:20 Elrond: any idea as to which universities? or projects? or something? Jun 24 00:31:41 summatusmentis - Not really. :-| Jun 24 00:32:05 always ask MIT, speech recognition would be something they would be into Jun 24 00:32:19 Linux_Galore: good point Jun 24 00:32:57 * Linux_Galore notes MIT has a touch interface table research project in 2001 Jun 24 00:33:08 s/has/had/ Jun 24 00:33:52 I think I saw a video of that Jun 24 00:34:11 Viavoice was a commercial, widely sold product Jun 24 00:35:09 summatusmentis: yeah, someone released a howto last year ie build your own touch interface table then Microsoft runs around a few weeks ago saying "ooh look what we created isnt it innovative" Jun 24 00:36:02 Linux_Galore: you're not bitter or anything huh? Jun 24 00:36:06 even the whole methodlogy of the UI was a rippoff of the MIT/Apple demo's Jun 24 00:36:14 SpeedEvil: I think I've got an old windows version of viavoice Jun 24 00:36:31 summatusmentis: no I just hate people who try sell someone elses idea's as their own Jun 24 00:37:14 yeah, I get it Jun 24 00:37:54 summatusmentis: apples did a demo last year and they admited openly they got the idea from MIT, but not a word from Microsoft Jun 24 00:39:07 summatusmentis: have you seen the Microsoft Surface parody video, ie "Big assed desktop" Jun 24 00:40:00 I haven't Jun 24 00:40:51 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZrr7AZ9nCY Jun 24 00:43:50 SpeedEvil: I'm not seeing much from preliminary googling Jun 24 00:46:47 Linux_Galore: :-P Jun 24 00:47:49 summatusmentis: heh quote "Take that Apple" Jun 24 00:48:06 lol, it's true Jun 24 00:49:26 summatusmentis: if you think about it the whole logic of the thing is 1990's and doesnt take into consideration that everything is wireless now and has a fully functional OS so why do you need a big assed table Jun 24 00:50:37 well, interfacing Jun 24 00:50:45 things like most phones interfaces are terrible Jun 24 00:53:30 summatusmentis: be honest would you spend money on something that will always cost more than a laptop (even a good one) just to read maps and transfer files Jun 24 00:54:38 no, of course not, but if for instance stores had something similar, a kiosk of sorts, quick access to your phone(which had a maps app installed) could be beneficial Jun 24 00:54:48 if I really needed that type of functionality I would buy a nice laptop with Wimax Jun 24 00:54:50 a public 'monitor' for the phone so to speak, or even just a thumb drive Jun 24 00:56:07 summatusmentis: yeah, finding a shop that will pay $$$$$ for it with low returns will be fun to see Jun 24 00:56:28 well obviously not now, tha makes no sense Jun 24 00:56:41 but if the technology became more widespread, the cost would go down Jun 24 00:57:12 summatusmentis: if it gets under US$4k it may work Jun 24 00:57:31 summatusmentis: yuppie bars will use it to order drinks Jun 24 00:58:21 lol, I'm not saying it's perfect technology, but it's feasible Jun 24 01:01:49 summatusmentis: I must admit my inner geek goes ooooh Jun 24 01:02:04 agreed, agreed :-P Jun 24 01:02:52 bet many people get a openmoko just so they can go, pffft bet you cant do this on an Iphone Jun 24 01:03:26 lol, I wish it were further along, but I'm just impatient Jun 24 01:04:16 I wonder if you can do remote x sessions on an openmoko heh play Quake 4 lol Jun 24 01:05:15 Linux_Galore: lol Jun 24 01:05:25 Linux_Galore: there is always text-mode quake. Jun 24 01:05:29 hm, maybe with some magic of nxClient :) Jun 24 01:06:14 Linux_Galore: X11 forwarding Jun 24 01:06:49 someone turns up at the office with his iPhone so you pull out your openmoko and start doing remote X sessions stuff, ie Play Quake run Openoffice lol Jun 24 01:07:13 that would rock Jun 24 01:07:19 what you can even run an office suite on it pffft Jun 24 01:07:22 I get people amazed w/ my Zaurus Jun 24 01:07:23 cant* Jun 24 01:08:41 the real power with the openmoko is if you could get a remote X sessions because then you basically have all the grunt of a PC in your hand Jun 24 01:09:34 I don't see why you couldn't do remote X sessions, assuming you have a decent net connection Jun 24 01:09:44 gprs prob. wouldn't cut it Jun 24 01:10:01 summatusmentis: I do the same with my 5600 (zaurus) I even got a remote Wine MSOffice session going once lol Jun 24 01:10:48 lol, seriously? I don't even have to do anything w/ my 3200, I open it up and people go "oooh... that's SO cool!!!" Jun 24 01:10:50 :-P Jun 24 01:11:12 my ISP blocks all incoming connections, so... Jun 24 01:11:52 summatusmentis: yeah, well one of the guys showed how he could open a doc file, I just decided to see if I could do a remote Wine session from my desktop machine as I was within range and fsk me it worked Jun 24 01:12:52 summatusmentis: sorry.. how he could open a doc file on his WM6 PDA Phone Jun 24 01:13:57 abiword ftw Jun 24 01:14:28 summatusmentis: yeah but having Office2000 running looks more impressive Jun 24 01:14:41 true Jun 24 01:14:41 heh Jun 24 01:15:28 summatus: Im pretty limited to what I can run on a 5600 Jun 24 01:16:00 summatusmentis: do you have one of the clamshell units ? Jun 24 01:16:14 the neo just needs to be done already, then we can start putting apache and stuff on it :-P Jun 24 01:16:29 Linux_Galore, yeah, 3200(terrier), 6gb hdd Jun 24 01:16:46 summatusmentis: you suck Jun 24 01:16:53 :-P Jun 24 01:17:04 lol... my 18th b-day present Jun 24 01:17:44 summatusmentis: I looked at getting one but decided to get a new laptop Jun 24 01:18:24 I need one of those too, sometime this summer, college Jun 24 01:18:59 summatusmentis: they are not cheap either, about the same price as a core2 laptop Jun 24 01:19:33 the 3200? I go mine for about $550 Jun 24 01:19:33 summatus|PDA: See http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FAQ (Hopefully this link answers your question.
