For your symbol wifi card, did you have to drop the firmware file someplace?

Thanks

I do agree that the US government does need to be rethought a bit.  Despite our massive action on the world scene (idiocy or intelligence, it doesn't matter) we are a young country, yet.  I think we need to return to what alot of the early thinkers thought.  We need 50 linked, yet independent states.  Globalization has affected the united states as much as it has affected the world.  No longer am I a yankee I am just another person from the united states.  We have given up our individual cultures and practices and obliged the federal government in ways that have nullified much of the states powers.  We've pretty much all become homogenous.

Oh, and the homeland security dept.  Well, it destroyed the system of checks and balances.

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Zaurus C3100 And Monitor

« on: April 16, 2007, 02:35:50 pm »

Hey there~
The usb->vga connectors are fully supported under the 2.6 kernel.  So, under OZ and the newer pdaxroms they theoretically could work.  The problem is if they are supported by your rom of choice and finding one that will work with usb 1.0.  Yes, OTG is technically 2.0 but, if I remember correctly, it is slower.  Most of these little dealies tend to be 2.0 only.

This is something that has been a sort of constant source of curiosity with me so, if you make any headway, let us know.

certainly is a nod to the line.  I love the color:D  Of course...  I love green.

As far as building a mother board, etc, you should check out the pocket penguin subforum.  Alot of DIY stuff/ideas have been posted there

or perhaps, holovector....  Perhaps you are the brainchild to this oesf'ian conspiracy and have merely stayed in the dark plotting.  Your former post is only a cover!  We are all your pawns in some twisted machination that will only lead us to heartbreak and exlax laced muffins.

I mean, you are responsible for the death of the zaurus line and other gadgets.  Who knows what other evils you are capable of!

I think that was the point I was trying to make.  While the link is terribly interesting, and truely makes you think, you really don't know what to believe.  Everyone has some sort of bias that they are trying to push upon us as fact.  I do however encourage everyone to be open minded and look at that movie Dan had posted.  It's long, but interesting.  I am not saying that I know what I feel, I just think it's important to get as much information as possible so you can develop your own train of thought.  It's just a hard issue because you don't want to dephile the memory of those who were killed in the attacks.  People are so sensative about it and so they should be.    

I also reccomend everyone to do a little googling about the Real I.D. act.  It's an American thing but still a touch big brotherish.  I think the UK had something in the works like this as well?

I encourage everyone to be very active in politics at a local level.  Part of the problem in the US is that we, the people, the regular people have sat around and passed the buck to the uppity ups (the neo-aristocracy if you will) and thus, lost some power.  I tell everyone that I meet that I will be Mayor of my town someday and I will.  After that, you might see me in the governor's seat  who knows.
But even those who don't have my insane want to fight for things I believe in can go to town meetings, etc.  Let your opinion be known.  That's the most important thing.

erm....  </rant> sorry

on a side note.  This class has really disturbed me.  The proff has focused on how easily our subconcious can be confused and mislead (use of montages, etc).  These misleadings lead to biased and sometimes illogical conclusions.  
I am so wary of what I watch now!!

Good man!

It is important to always remain open minded and never accept anybodies opinions until you have done some serious research into whatever it may be.

I studied Media production at university so I know all about gatekeepers and the hidden agendas and interests of the mainstream media and I can assure you that If you depend solely on TV, radio and press to form the basis of your opinions and views then you will never know the truth.

We currently have a fair amount of free speech on the internet right now so we must fight to maintain it - it is of utmost importance people know how we have been manipulated and had so much vital knowledge suppressed for so long.

I just sat and watched that video, Danboid.  While I still have alot of thinking to do, I have to say "wow".  There are some extremely good arguments and some interesting thoughts.  Right now I am taking a film class focusing on documentaries and propoganda so, I am probably a bit harder to convince at the moment.  But I really have to say that I have alot to consider and question.

Thanks

well, first off, I must say that everyone should be trying to help the environment and the critical situation it is in.  The problem is, so many people are saying it's waaaay to late- it's not.  Don't get me started, I am a huge preservationist.  That being said...  Interesting read there Danno.  They take you up to the starship recently?

Just raggin on you, mate.

Off Topic forum / Why My Hard Drive & Software Are Obsolete

« on: April 07, 2007, 10:33:18 am »

@snappy
I am a student who works full-time so functionality is a very high priority of mine.  I need fairly basic things (web surfing, word processing, presentation making and photo storage/editing)  I find that ubuntu dapper fits my needs without much tweaking.  This is in comparison to the first time I tried to migrate completely to linux(7 years ago?) and I had to fiddle with everything.  It doesn't seem that way anymore.  In fact, I was so happy the other day.  I found out my canon photo/document printer works- just plug and play.  I don't know if you tried dapper.  Maybe I am just really lucky with my beloved Fishtop.  Just my experience.

have a great day everybody

Way-hey!  Thanks for the info, Marc,  I figured SHARP had been planning that toaster option all along.    Now if they would include a cake baker...  I could have my cake and eat it too...

Oh come on, it's funny.

--Fish

Hi all,
let's bring some big fun in this thread ;-)

As we all "know", Sharp pulled the plug with the "last" production
run for February...

Now the fun part begins: We tried to order some more (because
with the "end of the line" sales increased big time). The answer
was "OK". Box came. Produced March 2007 (!)

*speechless*
Talked with the Sharp sales droid, WT* is going on ??
Sales droid : "How many do you need for April and forecast for
May ?"

No, we have no idea what the hell is going on at Sharp.
We got no explanation and (even if we got some info how long
they plan to continue) we won't comment this further.
For now, we expect everything. From out-of-stock tomorrow up
to a new model announcement next week.
Or maybe the rumor was just strategic to get rid of stock for the
new SL-C4000XL with 3D holographic XGA, toaster interface,
GSM, WiFi and bottle opener...

We don't know what kind of game they're playing, but for today
we can only confirm that fresh manufactured Zauri are available.

Happy and relaxed easter holidays to all OESF readers,

///TRIsoft

For Sale / Wanted / Wanted: C1000/c3x00 Sd Slot

« on: April 01, 2007, 09:46:51 am »

hey all. Well, I managed to break one of the connectors on the sd slot.  If anyone has a broken clamshell that they are interested in hacking apart and selling the slot I would be terribly interested.

Thanks

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Broken Sd Slot

« on: March 31, 2007, 08:55:00 am »

ok, pulled out the LED and after blinding myself once or twice, I think I see the problem.  Each of the connectors on an SD card has a pair of "prongs" in the back of the slot.  The Pair that is all the way to the left look like they are pushed back or non existant, although, I think I see some copper, so I think they are there.  Looks like I am goingto have to pull the z apart again to see if I can fix this....

Thanks for your help, Dan.  I'll keep this post updated.

EDIT:Aye, I typed the wrong name.... Sorry, mate!
