AROS on Acer Aspire One 150 netbook - pretty decent performance - 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn8TW0gF5xQ

Microsoft will release Silverlight 4 in few months - makes it more 
regular dev platform, than "just" a RIA. Includes support for printing, 
webcams, microphones, local video recording support, drag&drop, clipboard, 
multitouch ...

Looks good ... is it hosted on windows or running native Aros?

I'm not sure but I think I've read somewhere that it's native

That seemed like a windows window that came up, and he talks about 
Aros native coming ...

but it looks like a multiboot loader

Dare I reformat my Acer Aspire one ??

he shows two versions, one is native and second is hosted under win

There are two versions - native AROS, and hosted AROS (Icaros desktop) 
- http://www.icarosdesktop.org/

well, I need rebol for it!

Hmmm bootable usb stick.

Find Carl somewhere, and ask him to finish R3 host kit, so that we 
can port it ;-)

The screen dragging is only available on hosted for now....pretty 
cool.


Its come a ways since last I tried it...Starting to look like a replacement 
for linux  on my  "kiosk" apps when R3 gets ported.

amacleod - you do any kiosk related work?

I say kiosk...I just mean dedicated computers running some rebol 
apps that I have at the firehouse....

A mapping app that locates fire boxes with directions, and a notification 
system for messages to members to their email and phones via text.

Not ready for prime time...hense the quotes.

Aros - can run 3.1 apps with UAE...wonder if R2 would run?

Dunno what is the last R2 version, which worked for Amiga ....

has anyone here tried out the GuruPlug?
http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/c-4-guruplugs.aspx

the version with HDMI out seems interesting to create a nice home 
pc for an HDTV

I have a plug at home, that replaces the Ethernet share box from 
my NAT. Using the DroboShare gave me 5-10MB/s, using the Plug gives 
me 25MB/s over 1GB Ethernet.

So, plug-computer is really cool (and I remember that I wondered 
for what they are worth it...)

not bad transfer rate - uses USB2, no?

I wonder what you'd get with the GuruPlug's eSATA

Yes, USB 2. My Raid System doesn't has eSATA...

So in other words, they are doing what should have been done day 
one, make all hardware interfaces a library call so any browser can 
just "be aware" of what is going on.

Reichart - yes, I was wondering too ... what is so special about 
clipboard, drag&drop, or even their other mentioned functionalities.

They're all a good idea for applications that run outside of the 
browser, and that is the main focus of the Silverlight 4 update.

Why any "device" is treated differenly just confused me.  Why can't 
I drag a file from my desktop to a webpage, and if that page is set 
up to handle it, allow it to uploadload the file in the background?


Why can't  I just direct outlput of anything on my computer ot a 
path, a path that could be a website?

Why can't I simply PIPE things from one place to another?  


I get the security concerns, but this can be handled with a requester.

I'm tired of the silliness...

then tell Carl to finally finish REBOL OS :-)

Why can't I simply PIPE things from one place to another?

Just give me 10 years... :-)

Or use Gabriele's pipe scheme. Or PowerShell.

you don't like the colors?   ;-D

oh you mean... "When The Fuck would I ever use this?"

I feel like I just saw the obfuscated way to use....a "table".

I really like the option to hide the table's text  ... very usefull 
feature. 

HAHAHAHA

you should add an option in qtask wiki, to "hide content"   :-P

We have that, select all, change text colour to WHITE.

:-D

RIM buys QNX!  Finally some more publicly visible company (which 
Harman/Kardon is not) bought one of the best OSes ever)  - Research 
In Motion Buys QNX Software

So, when R3 will run on Blackberry? :-)

 publicly visible company (which Harman/Kardon is not)

Strange sentence


HK is something like a 4 billion in rev company, and RIM is 3.5. 
 HK is all over the world, doing huge business in China (about 1 
billion of that), and India as well.  They are in cars and laptops, 
and sold with computers.  In terms of number of impressions, I'm 
not sure you can say "not".
