There are many right answers to questions like "how do I delete?"

No matter how lazy you are, in fact especially if you're lazy, you should look at a diagram of vi's "modes." You can see a good...

Re: Microsoft Silverlight Coming to the Internet Tablet

Actually, I find ARJWRight's comment to be off and biased. As for it being less emotional, well, who cares? If Cartman stands in the school yard and quietly and emotionlessly advocates Fascism,...

Re: Microsoft Silverlight Coming to the Internet Tablet

Yeah, I'm afraid there are a couple of typos in the article.

By "embrace open innovation" you mean "eliminate open innovation".

By "creating additional choices" you mean "crush existing...

Re: Third Internet Tablet spotted on FCC

Milhouse, it costs you credibility to say that 10.4 won't run on old hardware. I have it on a G4 and my wife has it on one of the very first G5s. Studies show that people run Apple computers...

Re: unrepairable N800 replaced in 28 days

@penguinbait: I am in Michigan and sent the device to Huntsville, AL. I don't know that there is any choice in this location when dealing with Nokia. Although 28 days is a very long time compared...

I sent in a WSOD N800 on 26 July and received a replacement from Nokia today, 23 Aug.

Re: newbie xterm vi how do i hit ESC?

Specifically, the part of the hardware key with the curly arrow on it. Hitting the part with the house or the page brings up menus.

Re: iPhone or better known as iFlop

iFlop is such a hilarious title for this thread. I'm seeing news reports that Piper Jaffray estimates 500,000 "iFlops" sold the first weekend. WTF would they have to do to not be an "iFlop"???

Re: 'A handheld computer' (and not a 'smart' phone)

Oh, you heard on an unnamed radio show that the iPhone really costs $2,000?

I heard from an unnamed Microsoft sockpuppet that it will cost $3,500 if I factor in the "hidden" costs of converting my...

Re: N800 clone running Windows. Real or Fake??

Wait, how do we know it's fake? Is the shadow from Oswald's gun pointing the wrong way?

Or is it that the n800 parts are all made of Unobtainium, so there aren't a kadillion factories in China...

Re: iPhone review - what can Nokia learn?

One thing they might learn would be to quit with the "fanboi" sh*t. It's very hard to learn from people you denigrate.

Plus, how can you even call it a "review" when an anonymous waiter in a...

Re: Did you buy N800 because of linux?

Linux was very important to my buying decision. Other big factor was display resolution. It also helped that it had better storage options than 770, which I had previously avoided. I monitored...

Re: Mini-comparison: N800 and OQO 02

I CAN compare the two directly. I currently use the N800 and am considering abandoning it in favor of the OQO Model 02.

The main differences are price, size-weight, and battery life, as has been...

With an 18mm pitch, I'm pretty sure you will be able to touch type on the Foleo. And I am pretty sure that the legions of idiots are idiotic, succeed or fail.

Re: how to download youtube videos on to the n800?

sachin007, look at the difference between

cd/media/mmc2
