. Whoever coded this @&$!& spellcheck belongs in the same hell as the person who coded the windows recycle bin defaults and uac!If I take a dead GPL'd project, and use that source and project as an inspiration to build the same project, but with my own source, is my project now GPL'd? I don't think so...-wraith808 (August 05, 2010, 08:59 AM)
If you use THAT SOURCE, your app is GPL'd. Period. If you recode from scratch, you're safe. They admitted to use GPL-based source, even misquoted a part of it in a previous post.
Anyway, best of luck guys.-scancode (August 05, 2010, 01:54 PM)
OK, now I'm sort of leaning towards a new laptop...11-13" range. i don't know. I do kind of want a tablet. Something I can carry around with me to do light computing. I already have a laptop and it's not easy to use for light computing. If you want to just browse the web for 5 minutes, you hesitate to open the laptop, boot it, etc. With a tablet, you'd just quickly do your thing and that's it.This is why I was looking at the tablet, and finally purchased one. I got a netbook for this purpose, but the form factor kept it from being used in this way. The tablet form factor just lends itself to writing and reading, IMO. That's also what I like about the tc1100- the keyboard is *really* thin, and swings out of the way (or removes) very quickly, but it's there if you need it.-superboyac (August 05, 2010, 09:34 AM)

So you're saying that the tablets have the boot time of a light bulb?? <- Seriously, I'm curious/don't recall hearing that angle before)-Stoic Joker (August 05, 2010, 10:10 AM)
The GPL might be unenforceable, but keep in mind it was a matter of respect. You're basically not giving a damn about what the original author wanted.
from me.
So long, and thanks for [the lack of]all thefish.
To be honest, I expected more from a DC member.-scancode (August 05, 2010, 07:29 AM)-Stoic Joker (August 05, 2010, 08:44 AM)
Um, you'd also have to offer sourcecode for YOUR binary build (aka latest circle dock!)
That's how it works, unfortunately. It was kind of expected, tho.-scancode (August 04, 2010, 02:24 PM)
You could decide that it's worth spending a few weeks rewriting the core code from scratch, cleaning up the code in the process, and re-launch a similar commercial product with a new name and new license and without any of the original code.-mouser (August 04, 2010, 12:39 PM)
)Hmmm...this makes me think twice about my ipad. What's the best altertnative out there right now? I'm guessing it's something that runs Droid? But I suppose Win7 works also.-superboyac (August 04, 2010, 08:45 AM)
i hope you discover a lot of nice things with the tablet too, wraith808. i see your blog hasn't any real news yet.-nudone (August 04, 2010, 08:41 AM)
I have a couple of posts worth of info to put up there... I've updated with one, and I'll try to get to the actual unit and my initial experiences tonight. Though there are definite pros and cons, I'm very satisfied so far. The only area that's a real bummer (though I sort of expected that) is battery life, though I'm not sure if it's the battery. I'm thinking about getting a new one to see- and since they're hot swappable, it might be a good idea anyway. And there's always the SSD option, which I've heard massively improves battery life.One of the folders is 10 GB so at least the free account is not an option. I don't really want to have to upload to some remote server to do sync between two local computers either, that seems like a waste of bandwidth.-Jibz (July 29, 2010, 12:42 PM)
Ninety-nine percent of my work is done using a text editor.
Same here. That's why I don't feel qualified to evaluate the ribbon.-mrainey (July 27, 2010, 11:35 AM)
Apple announced this morning it would be delaying production of the white iPhone until later this year.
The official reason for the delay: White iPhones are "more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected."-Renegade (July 26, 2010, 06:55 PM)
