| Per_n900 | Pardon a stupid question, why is browser daemon always running? What does it do? | 00:04 |
| Venemo | which one consumes more power? bluetooth or wifi? | 00:05 |
| SpeedEvil | bluetooth, probably | 00:05 |
| nidO | Per_n900: for one, speeds up start time for loading the browser ui | 00:05 |
| SpeedEvil | Per_n900: it accellerates startup of any browser related process. | 00:05 |
| nidO | as the backend's already up | 00:05 |
| SpeedEvil | Which are many of the widgets, or the browser itself. | 00:05 |

| SpeedEvil | Way, way less. | 00:12 |
| SpeedEvil | Well - it depends. | 00:12 |
| SpeedEvil | If your link is truly idle, it probably doesn't matter. | 00:12 |
| SpeedEvil | But GSM/3G uses _lots_ of power for even relatively sparse - one a second - packets. | 00:12 |
| Venemo | ~ping | 00:13 |
| kerio | i thought it used *more* power for that | 00:13 |
| infobot | ~pong | 00:13 |
| SpeedEvil | wifi is good, with powersaving, bluetooth may have a slightly higher average power when in some modes than wifi 'idle' | 00:13 |
| SpeedEvil | Sorry, I'mnot being clear - in all conditions, power saving wifi transferring the same traffic will use _lots_ less thanGSM/wifi | 00:14 |
| SpeedEvil | Bluetooth will usually use less than wifi. | 00:14 |

| Proteous | a yes, moblin and maemo | 01:39 |
| Proteous | the moblin part | 01:39 |
| trip0 | Arkenoi, only the core, package infrastructure, build system, and reference apps ;) | 01:40 |
| trip0 | oh, and the kernel | 01:40 |
| *** benJIman has quit IRC | 01:40 | |
| trip0 | nokia contributed middle ware bits, the app framework, and some patches to the kernel (for the n900 mainly) | 01:41 |
| Arkenoi | trip0, does the kernel really differ? is it good? for build system it is said to be even *more* ugly ;-) | 01:41 |
| trip0 | some* middleware bits (timed, sysuid, etc) | 01:41 |
| trip0 | kernel differ from what? maemo's? | 01:42 |
| Arkenoi | what are notable meego kernel features? | 01:42 |
| *** gregoa has quit IRC | 01:42 | |
| Arkenoi | yep | 01:42 |
| *** gregoa has joined #maemo | 01:42 | |
| trip0 | the meego kernel is closer to the vanilla kernel afaik | 01:42 |
| trip0 | i'm no kernel expert | 01:42 |
| trip0 | it has patches and fixes for specific devices out of a specific kernel maintainer's tree | 01:43 |
| trip0 | alan cox? | 01:43 |
| * Arkenoi tries to understand if there really was something worth delays, havoc and disruption which followed the merge, wouldn't it be more wise to just stay with harmattan? | 01:44 | |
| trip0 | Arkenoi, nokia's product delays had nothing to do with the project really | 01:44 |
| trip0 | since harmattan really isn't meego based | 01:44 |
| trip0 | harmattan and meego are not the same, only share similar components | 01:45 |
| *** KMFDM has quit IRC | 01:45 | |
| trip0 | from what I hear, harmattan is much farther along than the open source meego project | 01:45 |
| Arkenoi | from what i see now i got impression intel is *highly* atom/x86-centric with meego, so its contribution usefulness is questionable | 01:46 |
| timeless | trip0: given that it had a head start... | 01:47 |
| timeless | Arkenoi: that''s unfair | 01:47 |
| trip0 | Intel is making meego crossplatform | 01:47 |
| timeless | the vast majority of their code is portable <whatever> | 01:47 |
| trip0 | of course, Intel wants it to run well on their devices | 01:47 |
| timeless | and they're writing ui's which will work on screens of roughly the same size as the n900 | 01:47 |
| trip0 | but the goal of the project is to be as device agnostic as possible | 01:47 |
| *** toniher has quit IRC | 01:48 | |

| trip0 | jonwil, yeh, just as closed in many areas in all likelyhood. It's probably because of the product timeline they were pushing for. the joint project with Intel came later and isn't quite ready yet | 01:56 |
| * Arkenoi wonders what was the main reason there was no n9 in 2010 -- moblin merge or resource distraction by symbian? | 01:56 | |

| pyther | Hi | 01:57 |
| trip0 | Arkenoi, the framework they were using wasn't ready from what i could tell (MTF) | 01:57 |
| tycho | Why did they scrap it in the first place | 01:57 |
| pyther | Is there any way to download gps data when I have a wifi connection? | 01:57 |
| trip0 | tycho, scrap what? | 01:57 |
| tycho | maemo | 01:58 |
| trip0 | pyther, just wifi? no. you need a gps signal | 01:58 |
| trip0 | tycho, they didn't scrap maemo | 01:58 |
| pyther | trip0: I mean I want to download the satilite info so that when I'm ready use the gps I can without needing a net connection | 01:58 |
| trip0 | you mean, why did they scrap the hildon desktop and gtk? | 01:58 |
| pyther | trip0: I don't have 2/3G connection and I don't always remember to fire up a gps enabled application before I leave the house | 01:59 |
| trip0 | pyther, you can't cash agps info | 01:59 |
| trip0 | cache* | 01:59 |
| Proteous | pyther, no, with agps info it is just finding out your rough location and then using that info to do a faster calculation of what satalites to expect above you | 01:59 |
| tycho | trip0: So what does it run on now | 02:00 |
| Proteous | it's not something that can be done with wifi | 02:00 |
| Arkenoi | i guess there is nothing that prevents one from using gtk applications on meego, right? except some extra resources to be allocated | 02:00 |
| pyther | but I want to cache the satalite location | 02:00 |
| pyther | *locations | 02:00 |
| pyther | so it can establish a gps connection faster | 02:00 |
| Proteous | they are moving | 02:00 |
| Proteous | in the sky | 02:00 |
| trip0 | tycho, they dropped the hildon desktop and gtk from maemo because Qt is a better toolkit | 02:00 |
| trip0 | (i'm assuming) | 02:00 |
| Proteous | you are never under the same set of satalites | 02:00 |
| tycho | And do you think they will keep doing linux phones in the future | 02:01 |
| pyther | Proteous: then what downloads from the net? | 02:01 |
| *** bman has joined #maemo | 02:01 | |
| tycho | I feel that it ended and started with n900 | 02:01 |
| Arkenoi | agps does not seem to use wifi mac data on any nokia phones | 02:01 |
| pyther | because I can get a lock if it downloads "something" from the net | 02:01 |
| trip0 | Proteous, arent gps satillites geo-stationary? (they don't move, you do) | 02:01 |
| *** fenrir_ has joined #maemo | 02:01 | |
| fenrir_ | hey | 02:01 |
| jonwil | no, GPS sattelites are not geostationary | 02:01 |
| Proteous | no, it looks at the cell towers to make an approximation of your location to make getting a real GPS lock easier | 02:02 |
| Proteous | trip0: no | 02:02 |
| tycho | how much open source is MeeGo ? | 02:02 |
| Arkenoi | it does | 02:02 |
| fenrir_ | if you backup with maemos own tool to sdcard does the communication and callendar backup Contacts and sms for example ? | 02:02 |

| jonwil | btw, I am now 99% sure that the Cell Broadcast code in the SMS stack is broken | 02:31 |
| *** habmala has quit IRC | 02:31 | |
| jonwil | The issue I have seen is to do with the info_length field in the SMS_GSM_CB_MESSAGE subblock structure | 02:32 |
| SpeedEvil | Sigh. | 02:33 |
| jonwil | The docs say "Value 255 indicates that this parameter should be ignored" | 02:33 |
| *** Guest74985 has quit IRC | 02:33 | |
| luke-jr | jonwil: keep in mind that N900 cellmo is DRM'd | 02:33 |
| jonwil | Its not the cell modem, its the application stack | 02:33 |
| jonwil | There is code in libsms that says "if info_length = 255, <some field in another data structure> = 0, else <some field> = info_length" | 02:34 |
| SpeedEvil | DRM? | 02:34 |

| *** croppa has quit IRC | 02:34 | |
| *** croppa_ has joined #maemo | 02:34 | |
| SpeedEvil | Possible - if nokia coded it - but no. | 02:35 |
| SpeedEvil | It depends on the deep bits of the modem supporting it, and they reportedly on't | 02:35 |
| *** willer_ has quit IRC | 02:35 | |
| jonwil | Then there is other code in libcsd-sms that passes the value from that other data structure up to CSD-SMS as the length of an array | 02:35 |
| jonwil | so whats happening is that if the value of info_length is 255 (which it is on the cell broadcast messages I am seeing in my tests), the IncomingCBS signal is being passed an empty array | 02:36 |
| *** DangerMaus has quit IRC | 02:37 | |

| *** federico2 has quit IRC | 02:37 | |

| jonwil | There is no way to get into libsms or libcsd-sms directly. I am about to outline all the options (however unlikely they may be) for fixes | 02:38 |
| jonwil | There are several options for a fix: 1.Binary patch one byte in libsms.so to solve the problem (not really a practical option for obvious reasons). 2.Hope Nokia can release a fixed binary (wont happen) 3.Hope nokia can release source code to libsms (wont happen) | 02:39 |
| jonwil | 4.Write something that clones and replaces just the CBSMS parts of the stack and solves the issue | 02:40 |
| jonwil | 5.Clone and replace all of libsms or libcsd-sms or both | 02:40 |

| Arkenoi | timeless, sim toolkit is useful sometimes | 02:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | Arkenoi: because that's what SAT is doing | 02:47 |

| richardcnkln | hi. i just purchased a nokia n800 and wanted some information on where to start with it | 06:09 |
| richardcnkln | anyone on? | 06:11 |
| doc|home | the button on the top is the power | 06:11 |
| richardcnkln | well yes i figured that. ive been doing some research on the device but all the info on development ive found is at least 2 years old | 06:12 |
| *** chx has joined #maemo | 06:12 | |
| doc|home | richardcnkln: yep, there's been two devices since | 06:12 |
| doc|home | still usable, I use mine as an alarm clock/mpd client | 06:12 |
| richardcnkln | i was wondering if anyone has finished developing drivers for the graphics accelorator in the device | 06:12 |
| richardcnkln | lol | 06:12 |
| richardcnkln | well i got it to replace an ipod touch and found it at an obscenely low price on ebay | 06:13 |
| GeneralAntilles | NOK is down to $8.84. | 06:13 |
| GeneralAntilles | Fools. | 06:13 |
| richardcnkln | looked up some vids and tho it looks like its going to take more work to get it to do everything it looks like a much more capable system | 06:13 |
| doc|home | who are the fools? sellers or nok? | 06:13 |
| GeneralAntilles | doc|home: NOK. | 06:15 |
| richardcnkln | well | 06:15 |
| richardcnkln | what exactly have they done to be fools | 06:15 |
| *** pyther has quit IRC | 06:15 | |
| doc|home | richardcnkln: didn't hear? they're going to use windows rubbish 7 from now on. | 06:16 |
| GeneralAntilles | and they're stuffing MeeGo Devices back in the closet. | 06:16 |
| doc|home | GeneralAntilles: that for definite now? | 06:17 |
| GeneralAntilles | doc|home: well, specifics are uncertain. | 06:17 |
| *** timeless has quit IRC | 06:17 | |
| GeneralAntilles | But moving it to a pure R&D project for "future disruptions" sure doesn't sound useful. | 06:17 |
| GeneralAntilles | "Welcome to the 770, sans the hope for the future." | 06:17 |
| doc|home | yeah | 06:17 |
| richardcnkln | yeah i saw the dev sites for meego anbd mer and a fewother projects. its disappointing that they arent going to continue them | 06:19 |
| richardcnkln | this windows phone 7 wont last tho | 06:19 |
| doc|home | richardcnkln: neither will nokia... | 06:19 |
| richardcnkln | they are trying to get into the market where android and iphone are the top dogs | 06:19 |
| richardcnkln | it wont work | 06:19 |
| richardcnkln | not when they are quite a ways behind them | 06:20 |
| richardcnkln | well | 06:20 |
| richardcnkln | perhaps nokia is making some poor decisions atm | 06:20 |
| GeneralAntilles | MeeGo could've done that. | 06:20 |
| GeneralAntilles | If they weren't as agile as a wounded elephant. | 06:20 |
| richardcnkln | but they are a solid company with a good reputation | 06:21 |
| richardcnkln | i dont see how they could waste that too quickly for them to recognize those mistakes | 06:21 |
| richardcnkln | lol | 06:21 |
| doc|home | richardcnkln: introducing a microsoft exec is a good way to start... | 06:21 |
| richardcnkln | i did a little research on meego | 06:22 |
| richardcnkln | if it was developed properly i suppose it could compete with android | 06:22 |
| GeneralAntilles | It could beat Android | 06:22 |
| richardcnkln | if the google giant wasnt behind android | 06:22 |
| GeneralAntilles | More open, more useful | 06:22 |
| GeneralAntilles | Better backing | 06:22 |
| richardcnkln | but i didnt see any ways in which meego was clearly better than android | 06:22 |
| GeneralAntilles | Targeting more market segments, so it'd have a larger ecosystem. | 06:22 |
| GeneralAntilles | When your TV, your car, your phone and your laptop all work seamlessly together, well. . . . | 06:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | richardcnkln, no? | 06:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | How about real toolkits? | 06:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | Actually Open Source? | 06:23 |
| richardcnkln | true. as a matter of fact isnt bmw still going to use meego | 06:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | Not designed to facilitate operator lockdown? | 06:23 |
| richardcnkln | i havent seen anything to the contrary | 06:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | GM, too, I believe. | 06:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | Though I doubt most of their executives have heard Nokia went WP7. | 06:24 |
| richardcnkln | that sounds like something someone would have told them | 06:24 |
| richardcnkln | and anyways meego being open source | 06:24 |
| richardcnkln | its possible it could continue to be developed and perhaps adopted by bmw and gm | 06:25 |
| pupnik | Thanks, failop | 06:25 |
| GeneralAntilles | And Intel | 06:25 |
| GeneralAntilles | and TI | 06:25 |
| GeneralAntilles | AMD | 06:25 |

| GeneralAntilles | But Nokia leaving is going to slow things down. | 06:25 |
| richardcnkln | true | 06:26 |
| *** geek00l has joined #maemo | 06:26 | |
| richardcnkln | and as for the devices nokia has already put out | 06:26 |
| richardcnkln | being such an open device its entirely possible to jump to many other linux distros with further development | 06:27 |
| richardcnkln | tho i havent seen many good ones | 06:27 |
| GeneralAntilles | Especially not for mobile devices. | 06:28 |
| luke-jr | richardcnkln: lol? | 06:28 |
| pupnik | would be nice to have one hot ghz-class phone with meego | 06:29 |
| pupnik | with 512MB | 06:29 |
| luke-jr | "such an open device"… a whole 45% open! | 06:29 |
| pupnik | :) luke-jr | 06:29 |
| luke-jr | richardcnkln: where are the other OS going to get video drivers? | 06:29 |
| richardcnkln | most of that dev seems to be going to porting android :( | 06:29 |
| richardcnkln | mobile or not. u guys are lucky with the nokia internet tablets | 06:29 |
| richardcnkln | with most of the portable devices ive put linux on the big barrier has been the fact that there was no mmu onboard | 06:29 |
| richardcnkln | the nokia internet tablets have mmu's | 06:29 |
| richardcnkln | not sure i understand that question | 06:29 |
| *** skython has quit IRC | 06:30 | |
| GeneralAntilles | luke-jr: compared to the rest of the market. | 06:30 |
| richardcnkln | ive seen debian, web os, and android ported to the internet tablets | 06:30 |
| luke-jr | richardcnkln: everything has a MMU now. | 06:30 |
| richardcnkln | psp doesnt | 06:30 |
| richardcnkln | and only with the ipod touch did ipods have mmu's | 06:30 |
| richardcnkln | and palm pilots dont | 06:30 |
| richardcnkln | as a matter of fact i believe when the nokia n770 came out it was one of the only portable devices with an mmu | 06:31 |
| *** arvind_khadri has quit IRC | 06:34 | |
| pupnik | and 800x480 | 06:34 |
| richardcnkln | very true | 06:34 |
| richardcnkln | the screen on those things still amazes me | 06:34 |
| pupnik | ppl didn't believe they were seeing it back then | 06:35 |
| richardcnkln | still looks good | 06:35 |
| richardcnkln | saw many reviews comparing it to even the current gen ipod touch | 06:35 |
| richardcnkln | it is better | 06:35 |
| richardcnkln | tho a little slower | 06:35 |
| richardcnkln | well | 06:35 |
| richardcnkln | the 800 is better | 06:35 |
| lofty306 | heh | 06:36 |
| richardcnkln | the 770 is a little harder to do stuff | 06:36 |
| * lofty306 still carries a 770 sometimes | 06:36 | |
| richardcnkln | ha | 06:36 |
| GeneralAntilles | The 770 hardware is so purty. | 06:36 |
| pupnik | 770 does my hi-fi stereo streaming duties now | 06:36 |
| richardcnkln | i mean its still kind of cool | 06:36 |
| GeneralAntilles | I love the cover. | 06:36 |
| lofty306 | but mostly it runs like carman in the truck | 06:36 |
| richardcnkln | yeah i still think the 770 looks cooler than the 800 | 06:37 |
| lofty306 | yep | 06:37 |
| richardcnkln | wish the internals of those things were as modable as the software | 06:37 |
| lofty306 | and bounces nicely with the cover on round the cab offroading | 06:37 |
| richardcnkln | if only we could drop in a better processor | 06:37 |
| richardcnkln | maybe some more ram | 06:37 |
| pupnik | as soon as you try rendering websites, your wants go way up | 06:38 |
| lofty306 | what i dont like bout the 900 is it got smaller | 06:38 |
| *** sid_ has joined #maemo | 06:39 | |

| nox- | (ot :) | 06:39 |
| richardcnkln | tho ive only had it for a few days it seems to run just as well as the ipod touch | 06:39 |
| richardcnkln | a little more jerky when scrolling | 06:40 |
| richardcnkln | but the page still looks good | 06:40 |

| richardcnkln | 50 bucks on ebay | 06:41 |
| lofty306 | heh | 06:41 |
| richardcnkln | yeah its ridiculous | 06:41 |
| lofty306 | thats even les s than i got the 770 for | 06:42 |
| *** noodles900 has quit IRC | 06:42 | |
| richardcnkln | i saw a 770 with a buy it now price of 35 dollars | 06:42 |
| richardcnkln | the 810 is quite a bit more expensive | 06:42 |
| richardcnkln | but when i did the research the functionality of the units didnt looks different | 06:43 |
| richardcnkln | same speed and memory | 06:43 |
| richardcnkln | just with a keyboard on the 810 | 06:43 |
| lofty306 | err that is the one i want | 06:43 |
| richardcnkln | well | 06:44 |
| richardcnkln | thats like 120 | 06:44 |
| wmarone | the 770 and 810 have different processors | 06:44 |
| richardcnkln | tho i saw a few listings on the maemo talk boards u could check out | 06:44 |
| luke-jr | richardcnkln: 770 was not the first internet tablet. | 06:44 |
| richardcnkln | yes i was reffering to the 810 and the 800 | 06:44 |
| luke-jr | your MMU-less devices were never really meant to be computers | 06:44 |
| richardcnkln | the 770 is a 250mhz processor right? | 06:45 |
| luke-jr | just like portable microwaves | 06:45 |
| luke-jr | 770 was a joke IMO | 06:45 |
| pupnik | crazy that a 25mhz processor used to be a 'workstation' (NeXT) | 06:45 |
| luke-jr | even when it was announced, it was below spec | 06:45 |
| richardcnkln | well for desktops a 250mhz processor used to be great | 06:45 |
| richardcnkln | go find one and run windows 98 on it | 06:45 |
| richardcnkln | it speeds through stuff perfectly fine | 06:46 |
| richardcnkln | unless u open internet | 06:46 |
| pupnik | it's those damn websites | 06:46 |
| richardcnkln | the future kind of hit those things hard :) | 06:46 |
| pupnik | the internet turned into a bloated sack of protoplasm | 06:46 |
| luke-jr | it's abstraction | 06:46 |
| *** arvind_khadri has joined #maemo | 06:46 | |
| richardcnkln | i used to tell people that an old p4 computer would be perfectly fine to suite their needs if they didnt play games | 06:47 |
| richardcnkln | now | 06:47 |
| luke-jr | I used to run Gentoo on 800 MHz :p | 06:47 |
| richardcnkln | the internet is a hog for processor and memory | 06:47 |
| ds3 | the old P4 is sufficient | 06:47 |
| lofty306 | gentoo on a 200mmx | 06:47 |
| *** madalu has quit IRC | 06:47 | |
| luke-jr | no, P4 sucked | 06:47 |
| luke-jr | P3 may be sufficient | 06:47 |
| luke-jr | but not P4 | 06:47 |
| richardcnkln | i give u respect for running gentoo on anything | 06:47 |
| lofty306 | but not anymore | 06:47 |
| ds3 | an old 500MHz mobile celery was more then enough | 06:47 |
| richardcnkln | u got to mean the other way around | 06:47 |
| richardcnkln | p3 was 500mhz to 1ghz | 06:47 |
| luke-jr | richardcnkln: now I run Gentoo on i5-2400, N810, and N900 | 06:47 |
| luke-jr | richardcnkln: P3 at 1 GHz was faster than P4 at 2 GHz | 06:48 |
| richardcnkln | and p4 was 1ghz to, i believe, 2.8ghz | 06:48 |
| luke-jr | yes, but P4 "GHz" were SLOW | 06:48 |
| richardcnkln | hows that n810 run gentoo? | 06:48 |
| luke-jr | richardcnkln: slonopotamus and I ported it | 06:48 |
| luke-jr | requires a microSD for disk space ofc | 06:48 |
| richardcnkln | i mean is the performance good | 06:48 |
| *** Suiseiseki has quit IRC | 06:49 | |
| luke-jr | not really | 06:49 |
| richardcnkln | compared to the included maemo | 06:49 |
| luke-jr | the biggest problem is lack of RAM | 06:49 |
| richardcnkln | yeah | 06:49 |
| richardcnkln | try dsl | 06:49 |
| richardcnkln | damn small linuz | 06:49 |
| lofty306 | or puppy | 06:49 |
| richardcnkln | yeah that would work too | 06:49 |
| richardcnkln | but DSL will run on the included sd card :) | 06:49 |
| richardcnkln | its like 50mb | 06:50 |
| *** MadViking has joined #maemo | 06:51 | |
| lofty306 | did they ever get the BT/ketboard stuff fixed wwith the 900? i havent been able to liiink up to my kb for a long long timee havent tried in a long tiime | 06:51 |
| luke-jr | richardcnkln: DSL is crap | 06:52 |
| luke-jr | richardcnkln: but KDE barely loads in the 128 MB RAM | 06:52 |
| luke-jr | so I ended up using console mode most of the time | 06:52 |
| richardcnkln | it is expandable just like any other linux | 06:52 |
| luke-jr | KDE is KDE on Gentoo or DSL | 06:52 |
| luke-jr | DSL won't make it run any better | 06:53 |
| lofty306 | christ that pig | 06:53 |
| richardcnkln | um i believe that dls uses a completelydifferent gui than kde or gnome | 06:53 |
| richardcnkln | dont remember which let me look | 06:53 |
| luke-jr | also, unlike N900, N810 is too closed for another OS to really run right | 06:53 |
| *** sid has joined #maemo | 06:53 | |
| ds3 | what OS would you want to run? | 06:55 |
| ds3 | KDE is not exactly designed for a TS | 06:55 |
| luke-jr | Gentoo KDE/GNU/Linux | 06:56 |
| richardcnkln | hmm thats an interesting question. i get those os's to run just for the sake of tinkering | 06:56 |
| richardcnkln | none of them really work right | 06:56 |
| luke-jr | TS can be mouse position, and a button for clicks | 06:56 |
| richardcnkln | but if i had to choose it would be maemo | 06:56 |
| ds3 | there aren't many OS"s really designed for TS's w/o keyboards | 06:56 |
| luke-jr | N810 and N900 have keyboards | 06:57 |
| richardcnkln | or if i could get it to run right id love to have a tiny windows 98 tablet :) | 06:57 |
| luke-jr | richardcnkln: btw, did you ever hear of the Zaurus SL-C* line? | 06:57 |
| lofty306 | haha | 06:57 |
| richardcnkln | saw those | 06:57 |
| ds3 | richardcnkln: go further back and make a Win 3.x tablet | 06:57 |
| ds3 | aka windows for pen computing | 06:57 |
| richardcnkln | they do lok cool | 06:57 |
| richardcnkln | i couldnt find one for sale at a reasonable price | 06:57 |
| ds3 | the Z's are nice | 06:57 |
| richardcnkln | i have windows 3.1 running on my sony psp | 06:58 |
| richardcnkln | with dosbox | 06:58 |
| richardcnkln | runs well but honestly what can u do with 3.1 | 06:58 |
| pupnik | i drag puppies behind my car | 06:58 |
| pupnik | :) | 06:58 |
| richardcnkln | if u like the zaurus line u should look at the fujitsu tablets | 06:58 |
| richardcnkln | full pc's basically | 06:58 |
| ds3 | The stylistic line? | 06:58 |
| richardcnkln | the fujitsu c500 came loaded with windows 2000 | 06:59 |
| richardcnkln | ya | 06:59 |
| ds3 | pupnik: one at a time or an entire liter? ;) | 06:59 |
| richardcnkln | saw one on ebay close out at 95 bucks | 06:59 |

| ds3 | it is a nice little machine; probally on the order of a 770 | 07:03 |
| ds3 | I have a spare one since one vendor was selling the car charger version for $25 | 07:03 |
| ds3 | it is there if you wanna plan with it =) | 07:04 |
| richardcnkln | i cant believe something like that came out in 1996 | 07:04 |
| pupnik | ds3: actually i've seen people walking their dogs with their cars before - twice | 07:04 |
| ds3 | they are nice but $$$$ new | 07:04 |
| richardcnkln | must have been pretty futuristic to see back then | 07:04 |

| pupnik | tablet makes a nice thing on the side of the pc/laptop to let music/videos run on | 07:13 |
| pupnik | especially the archos 7.0 with built-in stand | 07:13 |
| pupnik | still haven't got meego on it tho | 07:13 |
| richardcnkln | ha the archos | 07:13 |
| richardcnkln | with the crippled marketplace | 07:14 |
| *** arvind_khadri has quit IRC | 07:14 | |
| richardcnkln | tho if u wanted one of those did u know archos just released an internet table for less than 100 bucks | 07:14 |
| richardcnkln | look ath the archos 28 | 07:14 |
| pupnik | how big is it | 07:14 |
| richardcnkln | alot smaller than u would want | 07:15 |
| pupnik | yeah but it's a nice price | 07:15 |
| richardcnkln | 2.8 inches | 07:15 |
| ds3 | other apps besides media playing | 07:16 |
| ds3 | and android blows chunks | 07:16 |
| lofty306 | hmmm n900 then a tablet to replace the netbook for coontent you actualy have to read | 07:18 |
| ds3 | yes!! | 07:18 |
| luke-jr | richardcnkln: back in the day they were new, $800 was pretty reasonable for a Zaurus :P | 07:18 |
| ds3 | but finding a decent OS for the tablet is tricky | 07:18 |
| luke-jr | lofty306: integrated projector <.< | 07:18 |
| *** chx has quit IRC | 07:19 | |
| ds3 | the N900 really needs a bigger battery though | 07:19 |
| lofty306 | hehe | 07:19 |
| lofty306 | i just turn off 3g whem im not actually using it and the batt is thee for days | 07:19 |
| luke-jr | lofty306: me too, but that drastically kills usefulness | 07:20 |
| lofty306 | not in my pocket | 07:20 |
| luke-jr | half the point is to be on IM 24/7 anywhere | 07:20 |
| lofty306 | heh | 07:20 |
| ds3 | Mapper + GPS + GSM only seems to last less then 12 hours on a charge | 07:21 |
| lofty306 | it ended for me when it kept waking me up at all hours | 07:21 |
| richardcnkln | what are the internal specs for the n900? | 07:22 |
| richardcnkln | ive only got a lowly n800 | 07:22 |
| lofty306 | well when they have induction chargers everywhere adn everything charges that way or they extend the range of induction charging we'' be set | 07:23 |
| lofty306 | we'll | 07:23 |
| richardcnkln | induction charging is so innefficient | 07:24 |
| lofty306 | http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/specifications/ | 07:24 |
| lofty306 | better for cooking | 07:24 |
| richardcnkln | nichola tesla already had it down in the early 1900's | 07:24 |
| ds3 | better to have dedicated charger ports | 07:24 |
| lofty306 | one of thease days i'll drop my sisters isomething on the induction cooktop and see if it explodess | 07:25 |

| *** Zhonghua has quit IRC | 07:27 | |
| Sazpaimon | that's comical | 07:27 |
| lofty306 | i thought so when it popped up first for specs | 07:27 |
| Sazpaimon | more money went into maemo.nokia.com than any advertising for the n900 at all | 07:28 |
| lofty306 | thought it was comical i mean | 07:28 |
| pupnik | ds3: i agree, i was a heavy user and went through 2-3 batteries a day | 07:28 |
| lofty306 | yeah nokia dont seem to advertise too much anything | 07:29 |
| lofty306 | i go through the n900 in a few hours it lives on the charger at work | 07:30 |
| pupnik | and it really looks like there was space for a bp-4l with 1500mAh | 07:30 |
| Sazpaimon | honestly they could have made a commercial with penguins shooting lasers from their eyes | 07:30 |
| Sazpaimon | and just showed the N900 at the very last second | 07:30 |
| ds3 | pupnik: I tried out a Borohydride cell this weekend and it was disappointing for the volume | 07:30 |
| luke-jr | ds3: lol? GSM alone lasts only 4 hours at best | 07:30 |
| luke-jr | add GPS and you're probably down to 1-2 hours | 07:30 |
| Sazpaimon | i would have bought it in an instant | 07:30 |
| ds3 | luke-jr: I keep the screen off. | 07:30 |
| lofty306 | hah | 07:30 |
| luke-jr | ds3: so do I | 07:30 |
| lofty306 | ass do i | 07:30 |
| luke-jr | Sazpaimon: of course, everyone would buy one if Nokia spent more money false advertising | 07:30 |
| *** nox- has quit IRC | 07:31 | |
| pupnik | do you think a 4-row keyboard would have made it too top-heavy? | 07:31 |
| luke-jr | actually, N900 would probably be considered awesome by the average idiot, if it worked like it claimed | 07:31 |
| ds3 | luke-jr: I guess I shouldn't complain too much. I was logging a multiday train trip and was seeing about 10-12 hours | 07:31 |
| lofty306 | hmm its about to die only using it like 7h today no calls | 07:31 |
| luke-jr | despite being non-free | 07:31 |

| Sazpaimon | luke-jr, the average idiot would hate the n900 | 07:32 |
| Sazpaimon | since it was built around power users like you and I | 07:32 |
| ds3 | it needs a DPAD | 07:32 |
| lofty306 | it would be not shiny ensfgh for them | 07:32 |
| luke-jr | Sazpaimon: and the dedicated nerd hates it too. yet people like it, supposedly | 07:32 |
| lofty306 | enough* | 07:32 |
| ds3 | what would be nice to see is getting Maemo running on the Motorola Droid HW | 07:32 |
| ds3 | it should be pretty close HW wise | 07:33 |
| pupnik | i haven't missed a dpad at all | 07:33 |
| luke-jr | ds3: LOL, hw is the *only* thing I care about | 07:33 |

| *** l13tl3 has quit IRC | 07:33 | |
| luke-jr | ds3: anyhow, keep dreaming | 07:33 |
| Sazpaimon | why has nobody bothered porting maemo to other devices? is it because the UI is closed? | 07:33 |
| ds3 | pupnik: what software do you mostly run on the N900? | 07:33 |
| *** l13tl3 has joined #maemo | 07:33 | |
| luke-jr | Sazpaimon: because Maemo is not open source | 07:33 |
| pupnik | too much to list | 07:33 |
| krayon | ds3: http://meegoarena.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/n900snes.jpg | 07:34 |
| ds3 | luke-jr: a nice GSM droid hw w/Maemo UI should work quite nicely | 07:34 |
| Sazpaimon | i thought maemo had a code repository | 07:34 |
| pupnik | what do you use a dpad for ds3 ? | 07:34 |
| luke-jr | Sazpaimon: 45% of it is free software. I wonder what % of Mac OS X is free? | 07:34 |
| ds3 | pupnik: Mapper uses it quite nicely | 07:34 |
| pupnik | the 4-way arrow keys work fine for me | 07:34 |
| ds3 | pupnik: I want the arrows to be exposed with the kb closed | 07:34 |
| lofty306 | lol | 07:35 |
| Sazpaimon | luke-jr, I was under the impression that the OS itself was open, my mistake | 07:35 |
| ds3 | pupnik: I have it in a mount in a vehicle | 07:35 |
| jonwil | Good luck getting Maemo or MeeGo running on the Motorola Milestone | 07:35 |
| jonwil | They havent even gotten a kernel to boot except maybe via kexec | 07:35 |
| jonwil | thanks to the bootloader locks | 07:35 |
| luke-jr | Sazpaimon: MeeGo was "supposed" to fix that. | 07:36 |
| ds3 | krayon: who makes that? | 07:36 |
| jonwil | Motorola are one of the least open cellphone companies | 07:36 |
| luke-jr | jonwil: get a Linux developer to sue :p | 07:36 |
| ds3 | early Droids were relatively unlocked | 07:36 |
| lofty306 | it was haard to even get source outta motorola when they had to release it | 07:36 |
| jonwil | kernel is GPLv2 | 07:37 |
| Sazpaimon | luke-jr, MeeGo DOES fix that alread i believe. The majority of the core code is open | 07:37 |
| jonwil | so they dont have to let you use new kernels | 07:37 |
| luke-jr | jonwil: GPLv2 defines "source code" such that it includes signing keys. GPLv3 adds an exception for non-required keys | 07:37 |
| luke-jr | therefore, if they don't release the signing key, it's infringement | 07:37 |
| Sazpaimon | I'm sure nokia's UX would have been closed source anyway | 07:38 |
| krayon | ds3: Some guy. I purchased it from his Google store... sadly there's a flash website now ( http://www.game-gripper.com/ ) but the old store is still available ( http://sites.google.com/site/gamegripper/ ) | 07:38 |
| krayon | ds3: Not bad for $15 US. | 07:39 |
| pupnik | ds3: you know what might be better for such stuff - one of those track-sensors on the face - takes up no space and isn't visually obtrusive | 07:39 |
| krayon | ds3: But still has to have the keyboard open so no good for you if you want it shut :P | 07:39 |
| jonwil | so how come we haven't seen kernel devs going after people to get signing keys and unlocked hardware? | 07:39 |
| ds3 | Krayon: oh, it is mechanical, not electrical interface? | 07:41 |
| *** Necc has joined #maemo | 07:41 | |
| krayon | ds3: Yeah it fits over the keys and presses them :/ | 07:41 |
| ds3 | pupnik: there is the front camera | 07:42 |
| krayon | ds3: Having said that, any of the cheap bluetooth keyboards on ebay could be used. | 07:42 |
| jonwil | as of right now there are 9 bits of closed source code in meego-on-n900 | 07:42 |
| krayon | ds3: There's some pretty cheap teeny tiny ones. | 07:42 |
| ds3 | krayon: that's another thing to charge | 07:42 |
| ds3 | I have a tiny one from the 800 days | 07:43 |
| jonwil | make that 10 or so | 07:43 |
| jonwil | bme,libbmeipc,libcal,some pulseaudio bits,sysinfod,the sgx drivers,wifi firmware,bluetooth firmware,wl1251-cal plus the cellmo firmware | 07:43 |
| jonwil | there is more that will likely appear before the meego-on-n900 work is finished though | 07:43 |
| jonwil | like GPS | 07:43 |
| jonwil | and camera | 07:43 |

| dm8tbr | I remember reading yesterday that someone got GPS working under MeeGo | 07:44 |
| jonwil | I know Nokia have said they are simply going to port the Maemo GPS stack to MeeGo (which would then remain closed source) as the easiest way to get GPS up and running | 07:45 |
| jonwil | with the least amount of work | 07:46 |
| jonwil | they may also have legitimate reasons to want to keep GPS closed (specifically the stuff to do with AGPS and talking to the noika AGPS server) | 07:46 |
| *** ACadambi_ has joined #maemo | 07:46 | |
| dotblank | I don't think its specific within nokia | 07:47 |
| dotblank | for apgps | 07:47 |
| lofty306 | geez | 07:47 |
| dotblank | because you can replace the server with googles one | 07:47 |
| luke-jr | jonwil: the same reason kernel devs are too scared to go after nvidia | 07:47 |
| luke-jr | jonwil: they're cowards :P | 07:48 |
| luke-jr | jonwil: I reverse engineered the N900 GPS stuff a long time ago | 07:48 |
| jonwil | not AGPS | 07:49 |
| luke-jr | also, there is no such thing as a legitimate reason to keep stuff closed | 07:49 |

| ieatlint | to toggle x between 0 and 1... int xor 1 can be used right? | 08:35 |
| jacekowski | yes | 08:35 |
| jacekowski | but it will only work if you know previous value of 0 | 08:36 |

| slonopotamus | x = !x, no? :) | 08:36 |
| ieatlint | yeah, x = !x works, but it's logical | 08:36 |

| ieatlint | (and yes, there is a good reason i'm using a char and not a boolean) | 08:37 |

Is there something missing? ...I tried to find something like "ntp" in package manager - and there is only OpenNTPD daemon. Must it be installed? | 11:48 |
| flux | running ntpd on the phone might not be the best idea | 11:49 |
| flux | rather an hourly activation of ntpdate (with drift support) might do the trick | 11:49 |
| flux | however, the clock seems to synchronize to the 3g network for me, so I personally don't have a problem (on n900) | 11:49 |
| xkr47 | flux, I have had problems with ntpd in the past on desktops as well | 11:50 |

| jacekowski | Khertan: not finished yet | 12:02 |
| RST38h | Well, it may still end up with a miracle | 12:02 |
| yacc | jacekowski, well, they are on the middle on hardware uniformity between Apple and Google, and the hardware specs they force on manufacturer are great, compared with a T-Mobile G1 :-P | 12:02 |
| Khertan | jacekowski: near finished ... | 12:02 |
| lofty306 | thought they did something else along the same lines | 12:02 |
| Khertan | jacekowski: wp7 isn't finished too | 12:02 |
| RST38h | But user-experience-wise, WP7 is a lemon. Not sure how marketing can fix that. | 12:02 |
| markinfo | jacekowski, well - it explain that - really even with other simple phone was time by this provider not actualised. | 12:02 |
| jacekowski | Khertan: well, some people claim that meego will never be finished | 12:02 |
| yacc | jacekowski, compared with a Galaxy SII i9000 or an iPhone 4, not so much. | 12:02 |

| jacekowski | yes | 12:09 |
| jacekowski | sudo gainroot | 12:09 |
| jacekowski | you just need gainroot or rootsh package before that | 12:09 |
| yacc | jacekowski, let me summarize, the non-technical journalist that reiterate usually press releases are atypically sober on this Nokia crazyness, normally one would expect a firework of positive comments on anything MS related, ... | 12:09 |
| jacekowski | i'm just saying that it's not a bad move nokia made | 12:10 |
| jacekowski | as in they could have done worse | 12:11 |
| jacekowski | like went android way | 12:11 |
| Khertan | jacekowski: i m not sure android will be worst move | 12:11 |
| Khertan | jacekowski: and i think the wp move was the worst | 12:11 |
| yacc | jacekowski, yeah right, Elop could have gone around himself mining all Nokia property and then pressed the button to vaporize it himself? | 12:11 |
| markinfo | if there is no command ntpdate? even as root? | 12:11 |
| RST38h | Android could have been better | 12:11 |
| Khertan | jacekowski: at least on android they could promote qt | 12:11 |
| tybollt | shrug I agree w/ the assesment ellop made; nokia + android == bland... | 12:11 |
| jacekowski | Khertan: then it wouldn't be android anymore | 12:12 |
| jacekowski | Khertan: they can do qt on wp7 as well | 12:12 |
| tybollt | nokia should've stuck w/ meego. | 12:12 |
| * javispedro also thinks "yet another android cloner" would have been suicidal | 12:12 | |
| RST38h | As it provides better user experience than WP7, it is more feature complete, and you can also wrap your own features around Android's core set | 12:12 |
| Khertan | markinfo: sudo gainroot then apt-get install openntp | 12:12 |
| tybollt | Finland used to be all about guts... finns have courage. | 12:12 |
| RST38h | javispedro: Depends on what you do with it | 12:12 |
| yacc | jacekowski, Android would have allowed Nokia at least to keep some identity and to allow it to be customized to some extend. WP makes Nokia just one in a list of hardware sweatshops, ... | 12:12 |
| tybollt | They've shown now that they don't have that anymore | 12:12 |
| Khertan | javispedro: but they will not ... this is what they said : use win tools | 12:12 |
| * dneary wonders when people will stop post-morteming the decision & start looking to what happens next | 12:12 | |
| RST38h | javispedro: For example, you can quickly host it inside Meego, release it, then add non-Android features around it | 12:13 |
| jacekowski | yacc: not really | 12:13 |
| derf | dneary: Give it another 3 months. | 12:13 |
| jacekowski | yacc: nokia can modify it | 12:13 |
| markinfo | Khertan, "OpeNTPD"? - this has Programmmanager found | 12:13 |
| jacekowski | yacc: then can add qt if they want to | 12:13 |
| tybollt | dneary: We're all stuck in PTS man, don't ruin oiur buzz ;) | 12:13 |
| Khertan | dneary: wait for summer | 12:13 |
| jacekowski | yacc: but that would mean creating something incomaptible | 12:13 |
| yacc | jacekowski, they already said that they are not allowed that, ... | 12:13 |
| javispedro | next that happens is dead, past times are more fun. | 12:13 |
| RST38h | javispedro: With Android, you still kinda control your destiny to a certain degree. WP7 is more along the lines of shutting up and bending over. | 12:13 |
| Khertan | dneary: when an other manufacturer will sell meego handset device :) | 12:13 |
| jacekowski | yacc: no, they said they can do it, but they won't | 12:14 |
| javispedro | RST38h: had they gone Android, they would have had most of the backlash but without lech media ado. | 12:14 |
| RST38h | javispedro: Dunno, I am not looking at the PR side of the story | 12:14 |
| derf | RST38h: I dunno... given that MS's own WP7 handsets were massive failures, Nokia probably has sufficient leverage to control future direction of the platform. | 12:14 |
| RST38h | javispedro: Only at the technical side, i.e. "can you differentiate yourself inside android ecosystem" | 12:14 |
| yacc | Anyway, talking to local Nokia people they all seem slightly in shock, and not a good shock, ... | 12:15 |
| RST38h | derf: See previous examples of companies partnering with MWS | 12:15 |
| jacekowski | RST38h: yes, but then you create incompatible platform | 12:15 |

| yacc | jacekowski, but you don't, Android is incredibly "compatible" even if you patch it around for different functionality, in practice there are very very few apps that do not run on an Archos tablet from the Market, and these involve 95% or so missing hardware (no point in a SMS app for hardware without a mobile part, Navigation dislikes the fact that we've got no GPS, and so on), and only a tiny bit has problems with the big screen or the fact that Archos viol | 12:17 |

| jacekowski | something like 3-4x slower at least | 12:24 |
| javispedro | rst38h: but that's what I guess will happen on wp7. c# for the masses, and eventually ms will do something for native. | 12:24 |

| RST38h | javispedro: The keyword is "eventually". You do not know. | 12:25 |
| jacekowski | fun part is that c# and .net was designed to be JITed at runtime | 12:25 |

| RST38h | Oh, not the JIT argument again... | 12:25 |
| markinfo | what is the name of package with "ntpdate" program? | 12:25 |
| RST38h | Android comes with a JIT nowadays. Java has had JITs for years, people defended dissertations on Java JITs | 12:25 |

| Khertan | jacekowski: and ? | 12:31 |
| RST38h | derf: usually, providing them with class declarations and prohibiting from modifying these works | 12:31 |

| RST38h | derf: regular scans for "new" keyword with consequent executions also help | 12:32 |
| RST38h | derf: Nah, they will fuck up your C code too, don't get your hopes too high | 12:32 |
| yacc | RST38h, using a minimal subset of C++ is pointless, because you need to know the complete language, the moment you get involved in debugging your app that uses for example STL facilities, e.g. string objects. | 12:32 |
| RST38h | yacc: Then do not use STL in your app. I am not. | 12:33 |
| derf | Of course they will, but it'll be easier to fix. | 12:33 |

| deno | hi | 12:33 |
| yacc | RST38h, so what if some library you need uses STL? And if you don't use STL, you end up with a gazillion of simple classes like strings because each and every library module uses it's own implementation of the concept? | 12:34 |

| yacc | RST38h, well, the problem is not that it can be done, because it can. C++ is a perfect language for a project with a couple of former student friends that are very good at it.

| RST38h | yacc: You really think these remaining 95% will do well in C? Or maybe C#? | 12:42 |
| yacc | RST38h, and avoiding dynamic allocation is less than trivial in a event driven GUI app btw, ;) | 12:42 |
| RST38h | yacc: It is not about the programming language, it is just abut 95% of your CVs being sent by unqualified people, period. | 12:42 |
| yacc | RST38h, well, they'll do better in C#/Java because the languages/VMs do protect them from the worst errors (e.g. memory corruption), ... | 12:42 |

| yacc | RST38h, I stand by it, the ugliest items e.g. memory corruption that shows up unreliably at an unrelation point in time later is hard to create in Java (but doable, I mean, any language that allows global state, can have that problem, but in Java you'll probably need explicit assignments to that global state, while in C/C++ these variables can be overwritten by a crazy dangling pointer with no hints at the source code level, ... | 12:59 |
| javispedro | this reminds me of that guy who wraps his main() in a try ... catch do_nothing(); block and says | 13:00 |
| jacekowski | but there are tools to fix it | 13:00 |
| javispedro | "there, it does not crash anymore" | 13:01 |
| jacekowski | valgrind for example | 13:01 |
| yacc | RST38h, yeah, but then, many programs don't need to keep running till Wednesday, they are killed every day and started fresh the next day ;) => and yes, you can have a memory leak in a GC-ed language. | 13:01 |

| yacc | I also loved the thing about assigning booleans into a bitmap, casting the bitmap into an integer, and then comparing that integer with a number of integer values to see if a certain combination of boolean conditions applied. (The developer claimed that this was legacy code, but 3 months later I caught him churning out his own new code with that construct, guess he never understood why that code failed when changing endianess) ;) | 13:04 |

| RST38h | javispedro: You can do it without a try*(, just catch proper signals | 13:06 |
| yacc | RST38h, well, catching proper signals is not as "portable" as the try catch :-P | 13:06 |
| RST38h | yacc: Still POSIX though :) | 13:06 |
| *** achipa has quit IRC | 13:06 | |
| RST38h | yacc: And tell derf about that try/catch thing, I am sure he will be delighted ;) | 13:07 |
| *** schend has joined #maemo | 13:08 | |
| zutesmog | but not many people really understand the implications of signals especially in threaded environments. I have seen people think they are a replacement for a true IPC strategy | 13:08 |
| yacc | Well, try/catch is not the cure-all to all problems. While it might be better than checking errno and result values, it has this ugly property of often masking problems, especially with to broad catches :( | 13:08 |
| RST38h | yacc: Which brings us to the next good C++ tactic: do not let your developers use try/catch | 13:08 |
| RST38h | yacc: Always check and return results | 13:09 |
| zutesmog | The correct strategy most of the time is not let your developers use C++ | 13:09 |
| RST38h | zutesmog: Again, if you do not let them mess up class definitions, you are relatively safe | 13:09 |
| javispedro | not on java ;) | 13:09 |
| javispedro | point is clear, I hope. | 13:10 |
| zutesmog | I really don' | 13:10 |
| yacc | zutesmog, well, that's what RST38h is saying, even if he does not realize, he is crossing of C++ feature by feature till he crossed out 95% of C++ :-P | 13:10 |
| RST38h | yacc: No, only crossing ~30% of C++ | 13:10 |
| RST38h | yacc: But yes, I fully admit of using C++ as "a better C" | 13:10 |

| RST38h | zutesmog: and there are "reliable" alternatives? :) | 13:11 |
| RST38h | like, eh, java? :) | 13:11 |
| zutesmog | Number one criteria for me in any project is the code should be readable and understandable by humans first and foremost. | 13:11 |
| Per_n900 | you guys dont like python? | 13:11 |
| RST38h | zutesmog: does not depend on the language (ok, ok, MOSTLY) | 13:12 |
| DocScrutinizer | <javispedro> "there, it does not crash anymore" --- ROTFL | 13:12 |
| RST38h | Per: Snakes. Afraid of snakes. Hate 'em! :) | 13:12 |
| zutesmog | Agreed up to a point, but people try to get fancy. | 13:12 |
| RST38h | zutesmog: that is why you have to tutor them | 13:12 |
| zutesmog | (I love python but wasn't going to raise that) | 13:12 |
| yacc | RST38h, if you do not have very specific reasons to be as lowlevel as possible, higher level languages like Lisp, Python, Ruby, Smalltalk and so on come to mind. | 13:12 |
| deno | I installed that package | 13:12 |
| RST38h | zutesmog: for their own good and for your ass preservation | 13:12 |
| MohammadAG | deno, are you on ARMEL? | 13:13 |
| zutesmog | really strict guidelines are necessary in any team if the project is going to have a long life. | 13:13 |
| deno | MohammadAG, arm | 13:13 |
| yacc | zutesmog, well, almost any observation about programming applies to any language (you know, the turing complete argument), but usually to a different degree. | 13:13 |
| RST38h | yacc: May I please shrug and go have lunch, at the mention of Ruby, Lisp, and Smalltalk, as viable industrial alternatives? :) | 13:13 |
| zutesmog | I spent years writing insurance systems in business basic, (back in late 80's) and we code reviewed everything. | 13:13 |
| derf | There's code review and there's code review. | 13:14 |
| deno | MohammadAG, I used the https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7972 | 13:14 |
| povbot | Bug 7972: Kernel in PR1.1 build-depends on fiasco-gen which is nowhere to be found | 13:14 |
| RST38h | zuesmog: You do not need strict guidelines. Strict guidelines do not work. | 13:14 |
| zutesmog | yacc: thats why I wasn't targetting specific languages. | 13:14 |
| yacc | RST38h, well, Neanderthals produce more reliable code with Python, even if you do not love it than with C++, ... ;) | 13:14 |
| zutesmog | RST38h: don't agree on that point. | 13:14 |
| RST38h | zuesmog: But you need to make your developers understand WHY they should stick to certain practices | 13:14 |
| MohammadAG | deno, change debian/control then | 13:14 |
| MohammadAG | Edit Depends to depend on that package | 13:14 |
| MohammadAG | though you should use sdk-fiasco-gen from the repos | 13:15 |
| zutesmog | absolutley but if you don';t have those guidelines everything goes to pot and each new dude brings his own flavour along | 13:15 |
| RST38h | zuesmog: No, you assign the new dude to an old dude and watch his commits for a while, then let him continue on his own | 13:15 |
| yacc | zutesmog, python has it's own set of features that should be used only when you really need them and know where you'll get cut (e.g. __getattr__ can be a bitch, meta classes are not understood by 90% of developers, and so on) | 13:15 |
| zutesmog | even in OSS project slike python have strict guidelines for committers | 13:15 |

| alterego | Well, not dual boot setup, but the current boot setup | 13:39 |

| andre__ | and what's with those tickets? enhancement == meego (no enhancements for maemo planned as far as I know), and the other is WONTFIX | 16:33 |
| *** habmala has quit IRC | 16:33 | |
| jonwil | 8347 has turned from an enhancement into a bug | 16:34 |
| jonwil | as in, there is functionality in the cellular stack for maemo | 16:34 |
| andre__ | if it's not a critical or blocker bug that actually won't change much. | 16:35 |
| jonwil | so I guess we have to give up on having working Cell Broadcast on the N900 then :( | 16:35 |
| *** _berto_ has joined #maemo | 16:36 | |
| *** ppenz has quit IRC | 16:36 | |
| DocScrutinizer | andre__: opening up some limited amount of source might do | 16:36 |
| andre__ | tell Nokia | 16:36 |
| jonwil | yes all we would need is the source code to libsms and libcsd-sms and any header files required to compile that | 16:37 |
| DocScrutinizer | :-) thought you *are* Nokia for all that matters here | 16:37 |
| *** WellMux has quit IRC | 16:37 | |
| andre__ | err...no? | 16:37 |
| andre__ | I'm not a Nokia employee, nor a Nokia lawyer. | 16:37 |
| andre__ | I just handle bug reports. | 16:38 |
| jonwil | ok, so we should ping stskeeps or tekojo then | 16:38 |
| DocScrutinizer | I see ;.( | 16:38 |

| *** eMHa has quit IRC | 16:38 | |
| DocScrutinizer | sounds like tekojo can't do much either | 16:38 |
| DocScrutinizer | stskeeps could, if we convince him meego-arm needs those info | 16:39 |
| jonwil | except that it doesnt because of ofono | 16:40 |
| *** NIN101 has joined #maemo | 16:40 | |
| Jaffa | Didn't the ofono folks get something running on Maemo? | 16:41 |
| Jaffa | Or was it limited to the same API already available for CSD etc. | 16:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | it's an affront against maemo community that we can't get *any* help to fix bugs ourselves, while meego-arm just needs to ask and gets *maemo* sources usually without problems | 16:41 |
| *** Douglish has left #maemo | 16:42 | |
| DocScrutinizer | I feel this attitude of Nokia is letting down their users much worse than any switch to winP7 does | 16:43 |
| alterego | DocScrutinizer: not sources .. | 16:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | oh, NOT? | 16:43 |
| alterego | We get the same bins you get, though maybe slightly modernised. | 16:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | what about mce then, just for instance | 16:43 |
| jonwil | yeah MCE | 16:43 |
| jonwil | MeeGo has MCE in git | 16:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | PA another one that comes to mind | 16:44 |
| jonwil | but its not the same code as in Fremantle | 16:44 |
| jonwil | PA still has closed binaries in MeeGo | 16:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | jonwil: even worse | 16:44 |
| jonwil | although I think that Nokia made the closed-pa bits in MeeGo smaller than those in Maemo | 16:45 |
| jatt | will be there a moment where I can install maemo, meego or any other linux "distribution" on a phone and just run it? just like you can run ubuntu on nearly any laptop? | 16:45 |
| DocScrutinizer | jonwil: all this doesn't change the mere fact | 16:45 |
| jonwil | yeah we arent asking for the entire | 16:45 |
| jonwil | oops | 16:45 |
| DocScrutinizer | jatt: no | 16:45 |
| jatt | DocScrutinizer: what are the limitations? | 16:45 |
| jonwil | we arent asking for the entire Maemo source tree, just some dev packages and source code for a few specific packages that we can use to improve Maemo and make it better (all of which are replaced by open code in MeeGo) | 16:46 |
| *** hardaker has joined #maemo | 16:46 | |
| jatt | smartphones are getting closer to computers, I was just wondering | 16:46 |
| *** blackthorne has quit IRC | 16:46 | |
| DocScrutinizer | jonwil: that's probably well understood (or just not of interest) at Nokia | 16:46 |
| jonwil | MeeGo-on-n900 is not the answer IMO, neither is "lets replace the telephony stack and everything that uses it with ofono and the inferior MeeGo bits" | 16:47 |
| jonwil | I say inferior in that say the phone dialer in MeeGo is not as good as the one in Maemo | 16:47 |
| Jaffa | jonwil: The council will be asking again, but we're letting our colleagues in Nokia work out if they've still got a job first ;-) | 16:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | jonwil: the problem is they are not willing to spend one man's one day work, to open up anything, for maemo | 16:47 |
| Jaffa | Unless there's a good cost/benefit analysis. | 16:47 |
| Jaffa | Certainly "we want as much as possible" isn't as useful as "X wants Y to be able to do Z" | 16:48 |
| *** skython has joined #maemo | 16:48 | |
| Jaffa | Where "X" == jonwil, "Y" == telephony stuff and "Z" == "cell broadcast" | 16:48 |
| DocScrutinizer | Jaffa: that's why I added https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8347#c12 | 16:48 |
| povbot | Bug 8347: Cell Broadcast Feature not available | 16:48 |
| *** drj_cro has quit IRC | 16:48 | |
| jatt | they did a good cost/benefist analysis for the windows take over :) | 16:48 |
| jatt | benefit | 16:48 |
| DocScrutinizer | I hope that's clear enough | 16:49 |
| jonwil | and for telephony, the mere fact that ofono exists means that all the "open the maemo code" arguments a LOT harder to argue | 16:49 |
| Jaffa | DocScrutinizer: Indeed. | 16:49 |
| Jaffa | DocScrutinizer: I wonder how best to gather together these outstanding requests. | 16:49 |
| DocScrutinizer | Jaffa: can you follow up on this? | 16:49 |
| Jaffa | DocScrutinizer: Will do, but ideally I'd have a few. Wiki page, maybe? | 16:49 |
| DocScrutinizer | sure | 16:49 |
| Jaffa | DocScrutinizer: Which links to bugs and defines the X, Y & Z for each thing being asked for? | 16:49 |
| Jaffa | That'd be very handy | 16:50 |
| jonwil | Lets build this wiki then | 16:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | I thought there's such a wiki page already | 16:50 |
| jonwil | there is but its obsolete | 16:50 |
| Jaffa | Indeed | 16:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | yo | 16:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | so update it | 16:50 |
| jonwil | a new wiki page for the outstanding wiki pages would be good | 16:50 |
| jonwil | I mean outsanding requests | 16:50 |
| Jaffa | DocScrutinizer: That'd work | 16:50 |
| *** eMHa_ has quit IRC | 16:50 | |
| jonwil | first though we have to identify the genuine requests that we need | 16:50 |
| * Jaffa wants something he can show Nokia and say "look, this isn't zealotry, there are people ready to work on these packages" | 16:50 | |
| DocScrutinizer | jonwil: jaffa meant *all* outstanding requests | 16:51 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: Is this something Nokia expects? | 16:51 |
| Jaffa | RST38h: Nokia have been pretty clear in the past as to the likelihood of any further licensing change requests. | 16:51 |
| jonwil | we need to make sure that the outstanding reuqests are actually still required | 16:52 |
| DocScrutinizer | Jaffa: if somebody starts, I'll join in and check each request for proper X,Y,Z and relevance | 16:52 |
| jonwil | no point in asking for something if the use case doesnt matter anymore | 16:52 |
| DocScrutinizer | jonwil: exactly | 16:52 |
| Jaffa | RST38h: However, it's easier to make an argument if you can point to someone willing to make a concrete improvement. | 16:53 |
| DocScrutinizer | jonwil: you could start on it, by simply collecting the bug# from track, and I'll scrutinize each one and see if I can find the original author of the request and/or some project team still interested in doing sth with it | 16:54 |
| jonwil | Will start a new wiki page simply llisting the known outstanding requests that appear to still be relavent | 16:54 |
| jonwil | and then someone can flesh it out a bit | 16:55 |
| DocScrutinizer | jonwil: please try to edit the existing wikipage, it's dangling cruft otherwise | 16:55 |
| jonwil | ok, will add something to the existing webpage | 16:56 |
| DocScrutinizer | jonwil: ping me as soon as there's something I can use my memory to add in historic facts and find guys to ask about recent state | 16:57 |
| jonwil | ok | 16:57 |
| DocScrutinizer | :-) | 16:57 |

| DocScrutinizer | yeah, I'll add in things like "most recently commented on bugtrack: <date>"; "number of votes: <int>"; "external references: <URL>[]"... | 17:06 |
| jonwil | What I am doing is writing a list with each item containing the item/feature this is for, links to the bug(s) for it plus a simple list of the bits of code that are required | 17:07 |
| jonwil | Then you can go from there | 17:07 |
| DocScrutinizer | plus a comment on estimated relevance | 17:07 |

| edheldil | I do not want to start a flame here, but it's almost funny how Elop left out Maemo from the list of Nokia's options, to make appear WP7 as the only alternative. Sigh. Not that there are ANY options when MS is sponsoring Nokia :/ | 17:13 |

| jatt | yes and it's unsupported too | 17:17 |

| SwedeMike | btw, I'm still running a fairly stock PR1.3, is there a page that lists recommended community patches I should apply, like the gui fix for PR1.2 that I haven't dared installde now that I have PR1.3? | 17:19 |
| alterego | edheldil: we are all legacy, well, except those that are also following MeeGo ;) | 17:19 |
| *** dos1 has joined #maemo | 17:19 | |
| Jaffa | SwedeMike: The Community SSU will contain all the suggested patches. | 17:21 |
| Jaffa | SwedeMike: Installing new versions of random system debs just causes trouble. | 17:22 |
| Jaffa | SwedeMike: CSSU isn't stable yet, but feel free to get stuck into the testing: http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU | 17:22 |
| edheldil | alterego: they are legacy even more. MeeGo is not even a still born baby | 17:22 |
| lcuk | the tallest trees in the forest do not grow overnight. | 17:23 |
| *** arvind_khadri has quit IRC | 17:23 | |
| edheldil | at least, that's my understanding of Nokia's plans | 17:23 |
| SwedeMike | Jaffa: oki, I'll wait for that then. it's my primary phone so I'm not that keen on testing stuff that doesnt have a high likelyhood of working... | 17:23 |
| lcuk | MeeGo is still in Nokias plans according to all I read. | 17:23 |
| lcuk | however, MeeGo is a collaboration | 17:23 |
| alterego | Yeah, I'm pretty sure Nokia are not dropping it completely, marginalising it yeah, but tbh, I think I prefer it that way. | 17:24 |
| alterego | Because we can make MeeGo flourish ourselves, and if they keep churning out yearly upgrades that utilise our work, I'm well happy. | 17:25 |
| alterego | I think Elop is a fool, he said he wanted to reduce software costs by using MS, well, wouldn't it be far better to utilise us like MeeGo already does? | 17:25 |
| jarkkom_ | it still made me wonder what was going on with meego, since they had hundreds of meego positions open globally and someone mentioned total of 1000 people working on meego in finland alone | 17:26 |
| alterego | MeeGo is a community effort, those big corps backing it reduce money through sharing and getting a lot of work done for free. | 17:27 |
| lcuk | no alterego, most of the work is not yet done for free by a long shot. | 17:27 |
| alterego | lcuk: well, tell that to all the devs that write all the software meego is based on. But sure, I see what you're saying. | 17:28 |

| *** buntfalke has joined #maemo | 17:28 | |
| alterego | Maybe this is partly our fault for not embracing MeeGo much earlier on, if we'd pushed harder, it might have been "ready" for Elop (pahahahah) | 17:28 |
| jatt | Elop is no fool | 17:29 |
| alterego | jatt: no him personally? | 17:29 |
| jatt | Elop is what the majority from shareholders wanted | 17:29 |
| jatt | Elop REPRESENTS nokia | 17:30 |
| alterego | Really ... | 17:30 |
| jatt | yes | 17:30 |
| jatt | respect the old man | 17:30 |
| edheldil | alterego: My understanding is: Nokia created Maemo as its flagship OS, but before finishing it enough, a deal with Intel opened, promising CPU vendor backing. So they jumped ship for MeeGo, but then deal with MS opened, promising app market, and hence the possiblity to have the sane as Apple, so they jumped ship for MS. MeeGo will be sunk when they buy a cheap torpedo :( | 17:30 |
| alterego | Well, I'm not entirely convinced. | 17:30 |
| alterego | edheldil: no, that's not what happened :P | 17:30 |
| jatt | it's true | 17:30 |
| lcuk | I personally do not see why a more blended approach cannot be achieved. | 17:31 |

| edheldil | alterego: it's not? Why do you think so? | 17:31 |
| edheldil | at least, it makes sense financially | 17:32 |
| edheldil | (for some definitions of "make sense" ;-)) | 17:32 |
| alterego | edheldil: maemo was an r&d project for Nokia to develop a more competitive UX based on GNU/Linux, maemo 5 was the 4/5 step in this road. Harmattan was the 5th stage, which replaced Gtk/Hildon with a full Qt based UX, Nokia then decided they'd join up with Intel and merge their Maemo with Moblin, what you see in MeeGo handset is Harmattan. | 17:32 |
| alterego | The UX, MeeGo Touch Framework was originally DUI which is Harmattan Maemos. | 17:33 |
| *** spiritd has quit IRC | 17:34 | |
| jonwil | do we have a use-case for opening up the fremantle MCE code? | 17:34 |
| alterego | So you see, MeeGo wasn't exactly a "jump ship" it was an evolution, maybe more like a leap of evolution, but it was still a good progression (imo) because it openned up the platform for all of us. | 17:34 |

| Jaffa | jonwil: I *think* the most common reason given is "to be able to update the kernel"; but I'm not an expert on the interactions of mce with the rest of the system. | 17:37 |
| edheldil | alterego: perhaps, thank you for clarification. It still seems a bit too drastic to me, but hey, I am not Columbus developer :) | 17:37 |
| *** Necc has joined #maemo | 17:39 | |
| DocScrutinizer | jonwil: mce is responsible for e.g managing kbd backlight. So yes, for sure we want MCE opened, so we can change this. Although there's meego mce now, which seems close enough to fremantle version of mce, except for the missing plugins - at least that's my take on it | 17:41 |
| alterego | :) | 17:41 |
| alterego | edheldil: meh, drastic, maybe. But I don't see it, because Maemo/MeeGo/Moblin they're mostly all just GNU/Linux. | 17:42 |

Full bash, open components that were otherwise closed in MeeGo, daily & weekly builds of the platform, the ability to make it better ourselves and not rely on just one entity to listen and in most cases ignore us. | 17:43 |
| *** retro|cz has joined #maemo | 17:44 | |
| *** calvaris has quit IRC | 17:44 | |

Items on the list are the SMS stuff (cell broadcast and other things), the issue with non-standard WPA keys and passphrases (which means opening up the connectivity UI which could lead to other enhancements as well), libbmeipc stuff (i.e. being able to get battery status and info) | 18:02 |
| alterego | MohammadAG: I wouldn't say no :P | 18:02 |
| *** felipec has quit IRC | 18:02 | |
| alterego | MohammadAG: though not sure what I'd do with a third | 18:02 |
| MohammadAG | alterego, not for myself | 18:03 |
| jonwil | better control over which network the phone connects to (i.e. the libicd_policy stuff), MCE stuff and the correct cellmo headers for the N900 (the ones in the QT SDK are not a 100% match in some cases, nor are the ones on www.wirelessmodemapi.com) | 18:03 |
| MohammadAG | I only need 2 :P | 18:03 |
| jonwil | http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?title=Open_development/Why_the_closed_packages&action=submit | 18:04 |
| jonwil | Bug updated | 18:04 |
| MohammadAG | if I could get 2 more, I'd give them to the project members | 18:04 |
| MohammadAG | then give them back in may/june | 18:04 |

| MohammadAG | but then again, I can't work on the dialer, which is what I want | 18:05 |
| MohammadAG | I already made a quick patch for the dialer | 18:05 |
| jonwil | listing the 6 or so license-change-requests that are still relavent | 18:05 |
| *** Necc has quit IRC | 18:05 | |
| MohammadAG | can't build it, so can't test it | 18:05 |
| jonwil | all the rest I found are either no longer relavent (e.g. already solved) | 18:05 |
| jonwil | or have no concrete use case | 18:05 |
| jonwil | or are for things that remain closed even in meego | 18:06 |
| jonwil | like BME | 18:06 |
| *** ZogG has joined #maemo | 18:06 | |
| Venemo | MohammadAG: MeeGo dialer? or Maemo dialer (thought that is closed) | 18:06 |
| jonwil | I think I will write a wiki page linking to all source relavent to maemo not in the repositories | 18:06 |
| MohammadAG | MeeGo dialer | 18:06 |
| Venemo | MohammadAG: nice | 18:07 |
| MohammadAG | I can't test it, so it'll be lost somewhere | 18:07 |

| BCMM | Kegetys: i'm trying to work around that by setting it to make no noise or vibration for instant messages | 18:36 |
| Kegetys | BCMM: no idea | 18:36 |

| lcuk | frals, Kathy has asked about an MMS backend to liqpostcard (since she knows it is just a pretty UI and needs delivery service) | 18:40 |
| eichi | oh, its really build in, damn ;D never seen the last months | 18:40 |
| sp3000 | I mean the perf part, like in might sync the world a few times per msg or something ;) | 18:41 |
| lcuk | I think we spoke about this years ago when I wrote it | 18:41 |
| lcuk | but since I sent Tracy a postcard yesterday on twitter she enquired | 18:41 |
| frals | lcuk: fmms got a dbus interface for sending | 18:42 |
| lcuk | ooh cool | 18:42 |
| lcuk | for reference: http://liqbase.net/liq.20110214_135930.liqpostcard.scr.png | 18:42 |
| frals | or well, it opens up the sender ui with a predefined attachment/message/subject | 18:42 |
| lcuk | that seems reasonable | 18:42 |
| *** TeringTuby has left #maemo | 18:43 | |

| lcuk | thanks frals, I did think you had it covered. how would I know that MMS actually got sent (snce DBUS is non blocking) | 18:47 |
| frals | you wont ;) | 18:47 |
| lcuk | ie, generate image, call fmms, do its stuff, cleanup temp image. | 18:47 |
| frals | but its gonna popup the fmms ui for sending so the user will know ;) | 18:48 |
| lcuk | that part I know | 18:48 |
| frals | when launched with send_via_service fmms copies the file to its own temp storage so as long as its available for ~10seconds while fmms is starting you can remove it | 18:48 |
| lcuk | frals, so the images generated from postcard should just be stored in MyDocs | 18:48 |

| jatt | nokia did something wrong for sure | 19:24 |
| jatt | they are catching up | 19:24 |
| trip0 | no, i'm not in denial. the fact that I can multitask is iOS + 2 years ahead | 19:24 |
| trip0 | iphone is successful for 2 reasons | 19:24 |
| nidO | primarily, because it's marketed well and now has momentum | 19:24 |
| jatt | pupnik, baby, what do you think? | 19:24 |

| MohammadAG | luckily, Nokia got the N9 right, so we have a replacement for DNF | 19:36 |
| lardman | ? | 19:36 |
| javispedro | just saw alien dalvik | 19:37 |
| *** jonwil has quit IRC | 19:37 | |
| javispedro | its real | 19:37 |
| BCMM | javispedro: so will we be able to have it, and what's the deal with licensing? | 19:37 |
| javispedro | oem only | 19:38 |
| javispedro | not even app developers, which seems like a weird decision to me... | 19:38 |
| javispedro | (told them exactly that) | 19:38 |
| BCMM | it uses code from the real Dalvik, right? isn't that Apache licensed? | 19:39 |
| *** pupnik_ has joined #maemo | 19:39 | |
| pupnik_ | strange | 19:39 |
| javispedro | nope it's their own code | 19:39 |
| BCMM | oh, looks like i don't understand the apache license | 19:39 |
| BCMM | it's more BSD-ish | 19:39 |
| MohammadAG | NokiaPlanB eh... | 19:39 |
| javispedro | but its exactly as in the demo video | 19:39 |
| javispedro | slightly faster than the real droid phone they chose | 19:40 |
| BCMM | so what stops an unmodified Dalvik VM running on top of a proper linux kernel? | 19:40 |
| *** arno0ob has quit IRC | 19:41 | |
| BCMM | or is the main problem making it render to X-windows? | 19:41 |
| MohammadAG | javispedro, I packed some flash grenades in your bag, I trust you can infiltrate their stand and get a device with alien dalvik | 19:41 |
| *** ftrvxmtrx has quit IRC | 19:43 | |
| javispedro | MohammadAG: aw, I'm out already ;) | 19:43 |
| MohammadAG | javispedro, then can you head to finland and take care of elop? | 19:44 |
| BCMM | you used all the flashbangs already? how? | 19:44 |
| pupnik | BCMM: see the discussion here: http://ymartin59.free.fr/wordpress/index.php/2010/06/12/android-hacking-target-n900-maemo/ | 19:44 |
| javispedro | btw no native android apps | 19:44 |
| pupnik | yes that's the problem with their approach | 19:44 |
| MohammadAG | one question | 19:45 |
| * DocScrutinizer sighs on geberal chanop directive to not touch /ignore | 19:45 | |
| DocScrutinizer | general | 19:45 |
| MohammadAG | theoretically, wouldn't it be possible to run a VM with any OS you want? | 19:45 |
| MohammadAG | android included | 19:45 |
| MohammadAG | it was already demoed by VMWare on an N810 | 19:45 |
| pupnik | have you used dosbox MohammadAG ? | 19:45 |
| *** rcg has joined #maemo | 19:46 | |
| MohammadAG | that emulates DOS, not any OS | 19:46 |
| pupnik | have you? | 19:46 |
| pupnik | No, ok. | 19:46 |
| BCMM | iirc, someone managed to boot OS X, very slowly, in a VM on an n900 | 19:46 |
| MohammadAG | yes, I have | 19:46 |
| Venemo | yay | 19:47 |
| lardman | cu later chaps | 19:47 |
| *** lardman is now known as lardman|gone | 19:47 | |
| MohammadAG | BCMM, yeah, took 15 minutes to open about :p | 19:47 |
| pupnik | MohammadAG: forget about running another modern phone OS in a VM. It would be uncompetitively slow. | 19:48 |
| MohammadAG | but that's emulation | 19:48 |
| *** javispedro has quit IRC | 19:48 | |
| MohammadAG | dosbox = emulation | 19:48 |
| DocScrutinizer | dosbox is an emulator, not a VM | 19:48 |
| MohammadAG | running android in a chroot is not emulation | 19:48 |
| pupnik | bingo | 19:48 |
| MohammadAG | though I'm talking about something like VMWare Player | 19:49 |
| pupnik | that's emulation | 19:49 |
| nox- | virtualization | 19:49 |
| jacekowski | no | 19:49 |
| MohammadAG | VMWare player is not emulation | 19:49 |
| jacekowski | that's virtualisation | 19:49 |
| jacekowski | and dosbox isn't emulator | 19:49 |
| *** disco_stu_N800 has joined #maemo | 19:49 | |
| MohammadAG | I'm running an X86 OS, on an X86 machine | 19:49 |
| jacekowski | dosbox is a vm | 19:49 |
| jacekowski | on x86 | 19:49 |
| jacekowski | hmm | 19:49 |
| jacekowski | or that was dosemu | 19:49 |
| LjL | dosbox is a PC emulator | 19:50 |
| pupnik | nm | 19:50 |
| jacekowski | there was couple does emulators/vm's for linux one of them was using virtual mode | 19:50 |
| jacekowski | s/does/dos/ | 19:50 |
| MohammadAG | regardless, that's x86 on arm | 19:51 |
| jacekowski | yes | 19:51 |
| MohammadAG | not arm on arm | 19:51 |
| jacekowski | and it's slow | 19:51 |

| jacekowski | smhar: get global one | 22:34 |

| Sc0rpius | but that's the way it is | 23:41 |
| ieatlint | which is just unacceptable | 23:41 |
| Sc0rpius | I'd have gone with Maemo for this year, with nice and baeautiful GUI, multitouch, blah blah, and Meego for the next | 23:42 |
| Sc0rpius | beautiful | 23:42 |
| RST38h | Ok, NOK went up little bit today, probably due to some people buying its shares cheap, waiting for them to rise | 23:42 |
| ieatlint | Sc0rpius: harmattan was supposed to be the choice | 23:42 |
| Sc0rpius | yeah and that would have been the smart choice | 23:42 |
| jacekowski | javispedro: so how is it going to be with that dalvik | 23:42 |
| ieatlint | which is maemo, kinda | 23:42 |
| jacekowski | javispedro: because you said something about OEM only | 23:42 |
| ieatlint | but it wasn't ready | 23:42 |
| *** rola25 has quit IRC | 23:43 | |
| Sc0rpius | maybe they thought Maemo was a failure because of the N900 | 23:43 |
| vi_ | i wish i had some extra £££ i woulda gazumpted some NOK shares | 23:43 |
| ieatlint | nokia employees said it wasn't ready | 23:43 |
| MohammadAG | jacekowski, I assure you, it's not related to the dress or the phones | 23:43 |
| jatt | facebook and twitter applications weren't ready | 23:43 |
| Sc0rpius | but it wasn't Maemo's fault, it was N900 fault. Powerful machine, but it was big and bulky with terrible battery life, fashion girls didn't want that | 23:43 |
| *** hannesw__ has joined #maemo | 23:43 | |
| vi_ | lol facebook | 23:43 |
| vi_ | facebook is gay | 23:43 |
| *** vblazquez has joined #maemo | 23:43 | |
| jatt | what about drunk fashion girls? | 23:43 |
| javispedro | jacekowski: that's what they said... | 23:43 |
| ieatlint | vi_: i'm pretty sure facebook is equally open to men and women | 23:44 |
| BCMM | Sc0rpius: they don't want smartphones anyway... | 23:44 |
| ieatlint | we'll call it bi | 23:44 |
| *** FredrIQ has quit IRC | 23:44 | |
| jatt | yeah is gay but is what noobs like | 23:44 |
| jacekowski | +0.23 (2.60%) | 23:44 |
| MohammadAG | lol | 23:44 |
| BCMM | they want featurephones in a pretty shell | 23:44 |
| javispedro | jacekowski: OEMs that want to differentiate | 23:44 |
| jacekowski | that's nice to see | 23:44 |
| javispedro | themselves. | 23:44 |
| Sc0rpius | anyway I can live forever with my N900, my last phone was a Centro, and before that a Treo 650... and those OSes were already sentenced to death when I bought them | 23:44 |
| jacekowski | javispedro: so end users are screwed | 23:44 |
| vi_ | WTF is a smartphone anyway? | 23:44 |
| MohammadAG | <jatt> what about drunk fashion girls? <-- we don't discuss the causes of pr0n :P | 23:44 |
| jacekowski | vi_: it's a phone that's smarter than you | 23:44 |
| *** BCMM_ has joined #maemo | 23:45 | |
| Sc0rpius | maybe it's me, when I buy a phone, the next week the OS is dead | 23:45 |
| jacekowski | vi_: that's why none of my phones were a smartphones | 23:45 |
| Sc0rpius | I should buy an iPhone then. | 23:45 |
| Sc0rpius | >) | 23:45 |
| ieatlint | MohammadAG: no, see, it's important to increase nokia's appeal to such groups, because frankly the camera phones on other manufacturers leave much to be desired | 23:45 |
| MohammadAG | a phone smarter than the average user | 23:45 |
| jacekowski | Sc0rpius: buy loads of them | 23:45 |
| Sc0rpius | hehe | 23:45 |
| vi_ | -_- stfu you unemployed self appointed retard | 23:45 |
| *** rblank has joined #maemo | 23:45 | |
| jacekowski | and then buy android | 23:45 |
| jacekowski | vi_: rotfl | 23:45 |
| BCMM | vi_: dumbphone: calls, sms, probably alarms. smartphone: general computing platform with downloadable applications and such | 23:45 |
| Sc0rpius | Android is pretty, very pretty, but bad | 23:45 |
| GeneralAntilles | Has anybody considered that the "MeeGo device" might be a Booklet 3G Mk II? | 23:45 |
| Sc0rpius | I have some friends with Motorola Droids, their battery roughly last for 10 horus | 23:46 |
| Sc0rpius | hours | 23:46 |
| BCMM | featurephone somewhere in between | 23:46 |
| RST38h | General:Yes | 23:46 |
| jacekowski | vi_: i'm full time employed and i don't insult people as a revenge | 23:46 |
| MohammadAG | damn lag | 23:46 |
| jacekowski | vi_: i just insult them because i like to | 23:46 |
| jatt | I thought it will be an olpc | 23:46 |
| * javispedro 's brain dies after reading GeneralAntilles thought | 23:46 | |
| RST38h | General: But it will be a Harmattan device. | 23:46 |
| Sc0rpius | Mk II isn't that a Metal Gear unit? | 23:46 |
| javispedro | RST38h: Harmattan Moblin? =) | 23:46 |
| BCMM | sorta a phone that does email and probably lets you install Java games or something | 23:46 |
| vi_ | yeah, your also a dumbass who doesnt believe in batterys | 23:46 |
| RST38h | javispedro: harmattan-freakin-maemo, labelled Meego. | 23:46 |
| vi_ | ignored | 23:47 |
| jacekowski | vi_: woot? | 23:47 |
| javispedro | on a Booklet though, I'd expect they'd ship NetbookUX aka Mobling and call it a day. | 23:47 |
| javispedro | *Moblin, dammit. | 23:47 |
| RST38h | Maeblin | 23:47 |
| RST38h | (reads as Ma-yo-bleen) | 23:48 |
| ieatlint | moblin, meego... someone tell intel to stop naming things | 23:48 |
| jatt | hehe | 23:48 |
| jacekowski | ieatlint: core | 23:48 |
| jacekowski | ieatlint: that name was nasty | 23:48 |
| jacekowski | i have 2 core core 2 | 23:48 |
| ieatlint | worse than wp7? | 23:48 |
| jacekowski | or i have core 2 | 23:49 |
| ieatlint | every time i say "a windows phone 7 phone" i shudder | 23:49 |
| jacekowski | or i have 2 cores | 23:49 |
| jacekowski | or i have 2 core core 1 | 23:49 |
| jacekowski | with HT | 23:49 |
| BCMM_ | ieatlint: microsoft names stuff purely to make you feel like that | 23:50 |
| BCMM_ | ieatlint: "So click on My Computer" | 23:50 |
| ieatlint | heh, yeah | 23:50 |
| MohammadAG | RST38h, maybe it's maybelene (or however that crap's spelled) | 23:50 |
| BCMM_ | and "windows" itself is pretty confusing, imho | 23:50 |
| *** chenca has quit IRC | 23:50 | |
| ieatlint | and i've referred to symbian 3 as the windows me of mobiles | 23:51 |
| ieatlint | "just take a platform that's 10 years old and keep hacking on features" | 23:51 |
| BCMM_ | i mean, "close all open windows" | 23:51 |
| BCMM_ | 9x was younger than that | 23:51 |
| RST38h | Mohammmad: No,no,I absolutely insist on Maeblin. | 23:52 |
| BCMM_ | i mean, when the abandoned it | 23:52 |
| BCMM_ | it was a mess from the start | 23:52 |
| RST38h | Mohammad: Ask ZogG why, when you have a chnce :) | 23:52 |
