Interesting and scary article. Thanks for posting it, Paugie.

I installed "TaskManager" last night, it's quite a nice application. Now I'm looking for an application that will allow me more fine-grained control on power settings. For example, I'd like the screen to stay on for more than 1 minute when connected to power, but to turn off after a minute when...

I have TasKiller installed. Is the one you recommended any better?

I ordered this battery for backup purposes. I also ordered this bundle. Just to have some spare charging apparatuses.

I've been turning off WiFi when not using it, I haven't ever enabled bluetooth. I'm only using GMail and it doesn't have a setting to change how often it checks for messages. Will the extended capacity battery stick out the back?

Here are some of my random thoughts on the Evo so far. 1. The screen is great. The pixel density is high enough that they are almost impossible to see individually. 2. The browser is pretty decent. It renders almost every page I've been to perfectly. I wish there was an easier way to switch...

I can't imagine it would be a problem. If it becomes a problem then the rule can be changed.

Did you get your phone? What do you think so far?

I got the phone after waiting about an hour and a half. It took a little while to start working. But, it works now and I even have 4G service in my office.

Sitting at the shack waiting. Their servers appear to be basically down. I've been waiting for 40 minutes so far. They got me a chair at least.

I'm picking my Evo 4G up in 47 minutes. This is going to be sweet.

Done.

Is it really necessary to use 5 question marks and all caps in the thread title? It really makes your posts look like SPAM.

There is also an open source version of VirtualBox. That's what I use at home.

Maybe I need some context to understand the situation.

I'd be interested to hear your assessment of Fedora? I've been using it for almost the last year and like it pretty well.

How about the third largest city in the country? It has the added benefit of being fairly close to where you are now. It's a completely different world though (at least on the north side).

That's what I did too. I had this up and running in under 20 minutes.

I just installed F13 on VMWare Server 1.0.8. It worked without a hitch. I chose Red Hat Linux as the type of Linux.

I have used this Fedora Guide in the past. It's for Fedora 11, but not all that much has changed between F11 and F13. The Fedora releases are every 6 months. You should have no problem installing F13 in VMWare, what settings are you using when you create the virtual? I also usually start with...

No, because I set the initial disk size large enough to accommodate the install I'm doing. The appliances I have used in the past have been flaky. I prefer to do the install myself. I normally drop LVM during installation and use straight ext4 partitions.

You don't watch TV or read any news?

I believe the point of the relief well is to be able to pump heavy drilling mud directly into the original well. http://www.bp.com/genericarticle.do?categoryId=9033657&contentId=7061734

If you are installing Java by downloading something from a website you're doing it wrong. You can install most software you need through yum. For Fedora search for OpenJDK.

I'm not sure if it does or not. How can I figure that out?

I usually have three partitions on my boot drive. boot, swap, and everything else. Resizing partitions is too big of a pain. I just don't see the upside, unless you want to move these partitions to other drives. But, my boot drive is a X-25M, so I don't think this would really help performance.

They are using EEPROM, which is not really the same kind of memory used in SSDs. This test would be a lot more useful if they used MLC Nand.

Get a different OS and some new hardware. Problem solved.

Arch has rolling releases which are supposed to be pretty nice. But, you will be basically beta testing everything since the packages are so new.

Search for XMMS2 or Audacious. Audacious looks and works almost exactly like XMMS.

Suicide rate in the PRC is 13.9 / 100,000 / year (in 1999). This Foxconn factory has 420,000 employees, so I'm guessing the rate for Foxconn employees is below the national average. I don't know the time range of these suicides, so I can't calculate this exactly.

Who is she? Depending on the controller, I think spare blocks on a SSD can be moved into and out of use. I know you're talking about CF cards here, so this may not apply.

I got it to work using my favorite method: trial and error. That's a nice feature, I wasn't expecting it to have that. It will also scan to a USB drive, which is also useful. The web interface is very nice to have as well. I'd say I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Let me rephrase that, have you gotten the scan to email to work with any mail server?

I wasn't really expecting best when spending $280 for a MFD color laser. I'm just glad I can print from my Linux machine. Now I just need to get the scanner to work. Have you ever setup the email settings to send through GMail?

The replacement works. That was surely a lot more effort than I was hoping. Plus, the return shipping cost $7.

What if there is more space than 15.2GB, but you just can't see it?

Got the printer setup, the paper tray is annoying though. It works on my Fedora 12 system. It wasn't as easy to configure as in Windows, but at least it works.

Here are the two I've tried recently: MP4 (h.264) -> WMV9 ASF (unknown codec) -> FLV (H.264) I'm interested in software that can take almost any container/codec as input and transcode to many different output containers using a variety of codecs. Basically, the requirements are constantly in...

I have the need to do video re-encoding (transcoding) for various reasons every once in a while. I have found some free applications that can do this, but was wondering what other people use. FLOSS is preferred, but free as in beer is fine too. Applications I've tried: VLC - I have tried this...

This might provide security against malware, but it won't provide any security against social engineering attacks. Are you planning on wiping your vm every time you use it and starting fresh? You could just use vmware or virtual box to boot a linux live image, this way there is nothing to write...

I've had nothing but trouble with pulse audio. I generally remove it and use alsa.

I'm not really going to worry about the scanner working under Linux. I doubt I will use it very often.

Yeah, for all the stuff I wanted $200 was unrealistic. I ordered the Samsung. Hopefully it works alright with my Linux machine. I have 2 Windows boxen I can use for the scanner if I can't get that to work.

Forgot to mention: I'm also interested in multi-function devices and network support. I don't care too much about wireless support.

I'm looking for a color laser with good Linux support that is preferably less than $200. Any ideas?

Thinkpad SL510 is what I got for my parents. It has a 15.6" screen, but they sell a 14" model also.

That's nice I didn't know Sprint would do that.

I pre-ordered the Evo 4G from the shack. They tell me I only have to pay $199 for the phone. I guess by signing the new contract I don't have to pay extra...

I don't know if I can pre-order from a Sprint Store. Though instant rebate is nice, maybe I'll try to pre-order from Best Buy or Radio Shack.
