Sprint needs to learn a lesson from open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Itâs very interesting that this is the case
| seeing as how the same phone has been
| rooted with 2.1. Or, even better, I read a
| post on another site of man who
| successfully ported Android 2.1 to an
| iPhone 2G. But what exactly does all of
| this have to do with open source? I knew
| youâd get to that question.
|
| If you swim with the open source fishes
| long enough you start seeing the patterns
| develop surrounding development -
| specifically bug fixes and update releases.
| Ubuntu is a perfect example. Every 6 months
| Canonical ships a new version of their
| distribution. Sometimes those releases are
| epic in scale (such as 9.10 to 10.04). Yet
| they still manage to get those releases out
| on time. And, as you continue to use that
| release, you find that updates come very
| shortly after a bug is discovered.

Copenhagen Climate Council Promotes GNU/Linux on Thin Clients
,----[ Quote ]
| If that is not a promotion of GNU/Linux on
| thin clients, I do not know what would be more
| clear. Energy produced by fossil fuels runs
| many PCs. If we replace the PCs with terminal
| servers and thin clients we can save a lot of
| power consumption:
|
| * typical thick client consumes about 100
| watts apart from the monitor, keyboard and
| mouse
| * typical thin client can be 20 watts or
| less
| * the difference is about 80 watts saved
| per conversion to thin client, perhaps 75
| watts because we need a terminal server
| which runs a bunch of thin clients
| * 75 watts saved times 1000 million PCs is
| 75 gigawatts
