01:08.26 | RagingMind | hi NuttyBunny |
01:11.05 | plem | I have been watching the HP wrap videos from MWC and the demo video of WebOS by Sachin Kansal is amazing. It is really cool to see a demo that actually shows the power of the TouchPad and WebOS 3. |
01:18.30 | fudge_ | Whats the safest kernel right now for 2.1? |
01:19.06 | rwhitby | fudge_: the palm stock kernel. all others are in the testing feed, therefore not "safe" |
01:19.51 | fudge_ | ok |
01:25.33 | m-h-k | speaking of "safe" kernels... rod: I am glad you were able to see the camera/screenstate issue yourself |
01:25.52 | m-h-k | (which just proves the point of "testing") |
01:31.26 | fudge_ | im just gonna stay under 700mhz, 2.1 is plenty fast enough on 500mhz |
01:31.46 | m-h-k | is it? ;) |
01:31.55 | fudge_ | lol for me :P |
01:32.12 | m-h-k | I like to push the edge a little. |
01:32.51 | m-h-k | First time I ran it it felt horrible against my tuned 1.4.5 pre |
01:33.01 | fudge_ | 2.1? |
01:33.05 | webfellow | i've finally found time to test the new sprint-pre metadoctor (i know, i'm late :P) ... have we found any major bugs with it being on the pre? |
01:33.06 | m-h-k | yeah |
01:33.09 | fudge_ | lol |
01:33.20 | fudge_ | i was blown away with 2.1's performance |
01:33.45 | fudge_ | what kernel do yuo use m-h-k? |
01:33.49 | m-h-k | well it's not bad, but a 800 MHz 1.4.5 pre beats it. |
01:34.28 | m-h-k | Right now I am using uberkernel-11. There are some issues with it though. If you use the screenstate governor, the camera might not work. |
01:34.46 | fudge_ | i oc'd the pre to 1ghz on 1.4.5. fastest phone i've used yet. i was tempted to try the stealth kernel, but didnt want to end up with a molten pre |
01:35.13 | m-h-k | yeah both my Pre- run 1 GHz too but it just sucks so much battery |
01:35.36 | m-h-k | so I run screenstate 500/800 on my regular 1.4.5 pre |
01:35.36 | fudge_ | another good point :3 |
01:35.50 | webfellow | ah yeah, i was just reading that ... i'm amazed it's working at all; and props to all involved for getting it functional so quickly. |
01:36.02 | fudge_ | indeed |
01:36.19 | fudge_ | what are the consequences for increasing compcache limit |
01:36.25 | m-h-k | yeah *bows to woi* |
01:36.36 | webfellow | my 1.4.5 pre- runs 1ghz and loses about 2-3%/hr when idle, i'm happy with that. |
01:36.41 | m-h-k | well one of the consequences is that you have more compcache |
01:36.54 | m-h-k | webfellow: mine is seldom idle ;) |
01:37.10 | webfellow | haha well mine's only idle when working and sleeping :) |
01:37.34 | webfellow | but signal at work is bout 40%, so battery drains regardless if i don't leave it plugged in. |
01:37.41 | m-h-k | sleep, yeah, well it's on the touchstone then. don't care how much juice it draws when I am sleeping ;) |
01:38.22 | fudge_ | oh yeah, now i can see the difference with overclocking :D |
01:38.28 | m-h-k | and the other touchstone is at my desk.. I guess it really only has to survive the commute, and meetings ;) |
01:38.48 | rwhitby | touchstone in car fixes the commute |
01:38.49 | m-h-k | fudge: see.. told ya ;) |
01:39.15 | fudge_ | yeah, everything is jsut soo... smooth |
01:39.16 | webfellow | i'll gladly take a 1ghz oc and be forced to keep it charged any day. |
01:39.17 | rwhitby | they should put them in public transport and meeting rooms too |
01:39.33 | webfellow | rwhitby: agreed! |
01:39.37 | m-h-k | rwhitby: true, I have to fiddle with the cable there (car)... but frankly, my commute is often by public transport, and I have yet to see touchstones in our busses and subway ;) |
01:39.53 | m-h-k | haha think alike |
01:40.05 | webfellow | i am really hoping for the Pre3 soon, definitely looking fwd to the hardware upgrade. |

01:41.28 | halfhalo | dunno what the numbers are but its public info |

01:45.52 | Tibfib | nope |
01:46.03 | plem | never thought of it |
01:46.07 | m-h-k | I've always wondered what that pocket is good for :P |
01:46.10 | Tibfib | lol |

01:46.25 | halfhalo | doesnt carry a spare battery with him normally |
01:46.27 | m-h-k | can't believe it took Palm so long to invent the battery that goes with it |
01:47.08 | m-h-k | true, I've used it for usb flash drives |
01:47.17 | plem | wonders if Palm and Levi's had a secret deal |
01:47.22 | webfellow | i used to keep change in that pocket ... but it's gone empty for years now :) |
01:47.25 | m-h-k | the spare battery went into a little pocket in my phone pouch |
01:47.59 | m-h-k | I just don't like swapping the battery on the Pre. Takes so long to reboot... |
01:48.17 | m-h-k | rather recharge whenever possible. |
01:48.50 | plem | does the phone boot faster now that node.js replaces java services/ |
01:49.05 | rwhitby | it does |
01:49.08 | Tibfib | pre2 boots MUCH faster |
01:49.16 | plem | nice! |

02:16.56 | rwhitby | Looks like the new testing feed Preware 1.5.5 Visibility feature has a subtle corner case we're not handling well. It causes kernels in the testing feed to be hidden :) |

02:22.07 | m-h-k | rwhitby: perhaps there is some other way to visually indicate placeholders? Like make them slightly greyed out in the lists... |

03:04.39 | scoutcamper | yes |
03:05.00 | NickNick | I have a question about the 2.0 patch update project page |
03:05.05 | af12093487 | does uberkernal work on its own? |
03:05.25 | scoutcamper | NickNick, halfhalo knows alot about that |
03:05.32 | NickNick | I'd like to contribute, but am wondering what the best approach is: email patch authors individually and ask them to update the wiki? |
03:05.34 | scoutcamper | af12093487, details oplease |
03:05.58 | af12093487 | like |
03:06.02 | af12093487 | what happens when i install |
03:06.05 | rwhitby | NickNick: post a message in the author's thread for that patch, stating your intention to submit an update. Attach the updated patch. |
03:06.10 | af12093487 | after i restart |
03:06.40 | rwhitby | NickNick: if they don't respond within 24h, then you submit the patch. if you wish to add your name to the maintainer list, add it after a comma at the end. do not remove any existing names. |
03:06.49 | af12093487 | because the app itself is just an update collection... |
03:07.07 | rwhitby | af12093487: have you read the PHD information on overclocking? |
03:07.09 | scoutcamper | af12093487, after you install uberkernel with preware it should start working, install govnah to configure |
03:07.14 | af12093487 | i see |

03:08.53 | af12093487 | i didnt realize it and govnah co-mingled, so to speak |
03:09.43 | NickNick | rwhitby: I've never used IRC before. Do the dashed boxes surrounding the text mean you're sending that message directly to me? |
03:09.45 | rwhitby | af12093487: Note that both packages have a homepage link in Preware which has full documentation of each. I assume you've read that already? |

05:08.57 | PatrickC_Pixi | social worker hmm.. lol |
05:09.08 | PatrickC_Pre | hello all |
05:09.17 | undrwater | shr is an embedded OS based on FSO (a middleware) |
05:09.25 | undrwater | shr runs on the pre and the openmoko |
05:09.37 | PatrickC_Pre | FSO? (googles :p) |
05:09.50 | undrwater | rc3 is the third release candidate :) |
05:11.05 | PatrickC_Pixi | and it does what? |
05:12.22 | undrwater | makes phone calls :) |
05:12.26 | undrwater | and other stuff |
05:12.44 | PatrickC_Pixi | but it's an OS, rite? |
05:12.48 | undrwater | yes |
05:13.03 | undrwater | with phone stack |
05:13.04 | PatrickC_Pixi | so, it replaces webOS? |
05:13.14 | undrwater | you can dual boot |
05:13.27 | PatrickC_Pixi | dualboot phone??? awesome!! |
05:14.10 | undrwater | you can youtube search for shr on palm pre |
05:14.13 | undrwater | see it in action |
05:14.32 | PatrickC_Pixi | goes to youtube app now |
05:16.20 | PatrickC_Pixi | watching now |
05:17.18 | PatrickC_Pixi | so, you are set up for dual boot? |
05:17.32 | PatrickC_Pixi | how hard is it/what are the benefits? |
05:18.29 | undrwater | haven't done it yet...probably this week |
05:18.53 | undrwater | doesn't seem too hard...but that's for someone who worked with shr with the openmoko for quite a while...ymmv |
05:18.53 | PatrickC_Pixi | what are the benefits? |
05:19.20 | undrwater | benefits? not sure yet...certainly webos is way more poslished...but shr is way more linuxy |
05:19.48 | PatrickC_Pixi | like "build a meta doctor" linuxy? |
05:20.14 | PatrickC_Pixi | :D |
05:20.26 | undrwater | i don't know what "build a meta doctor" means...but it is a true linux distro |
05:20.31 | undrwater | runs X |

05:21.11 | undrwater | no |
05:21.19 | undrwater | well...probably not |
05:21.27 | undrwater | what does it mean to build a meta-doctor? |

05:21.46 | undrwater | yes |
05:22.01 | undrwater | wasn't aware of the terminology |

05:24.42 | SineOt | running it though? that's what would need java, and well... doctoring from on the device would be dumb |
05:25.04 | PatrickC_Pixi | what would you need java for? |
05:25.18 | PatrickC_Pre | sorry pixi took forever to send |
05:25.47 | undrwater | PatrickC_Pixi: my understanding is that metadoctor uses java? i could be wrong |
05:25.54 | PatrickC_Pre | wouldn't you just copy the file from device to computer? and then run the .jar? |
05:26.06 | undrwater | rwhitby: that's possible...i haven't been very involved for at least a year |
05:26.21 | PatrickC_Pre | it takes java to run, and a phone doctoring itself would be cool, but I would do it from a PC |

05:28.59 | rwhitby | undrwater: yep |
05:29.02 | rwhitby | it's not open source |
05:29.24 | netzwurm | rwhitby: it wouldn't have to be. |
05:29.28 | PatrickC_Pre | but they provide the source code? don't they? |
05:29.29 | netzwurm | rwhitby: but point taken. |
05:29.30 | undrwater | PatrickC_Pre: my guess is that metadoctor uses usb drive to connect to device it is flashing |
05:29.52 | PatrickC_Pre | yea, and I would run the doctor on a PC once built |
05:30.07 | rwhitby | netzwurm: unless you have a license to run webOS on a non-webOS device (which, BTW is not allowed by the EULA), then you have no right to use the software as such. |
05:30.17 | undrwater | PatrickC_Pre: i think hte point is that you can't flash a pre with a pre |
05:30.20 | rwhitby | PatrickC_Pre: they do not |
05:30.45 | PatrickC_Pre | ah ok undrwater |
05:30.50 | PatrickC_Pre | and thanks rwhitby |
05:30.59 | rwhitby | webOS is not open source. source code is not provided. period. |
05:31.12 | undrwater | i thought it was! |
05:31.18 | PatrickC_Pre | I'm thinking of the kernel source? |
05:31.20 | undrwater | was it ever? |
05:31.39 | rwhitby | the linux kernel and some userspace applications that webOS runs on are open source |
05:31.48 | rwhitby | webOS is not, never has been, never will be. |
05:31.57 | PatrickC_Pre | that stinks |
05:32.12 | undrwater | my bubble just popped :( |
05:32.15 | undrwater | :D |
05:32.27 | rwhitby | if webOS was open source it would likely end up like openmoko |
05:33.00 | PatrickC_Pre | it would be very little knows to non-linux users? |
05:33.05 | rwhitby | should get the multiple GTA01 and GTA02 devices out of his drawer and sell them |
05:33.35 | undrwater | rwhitby: better to use them for servers or something :) |
05:33.39 | undrwater | worth more that way |
05:33.46 | rwhitby | undrwater: I have webOS devices for that. |
05:33.51 | PatrickC_Pre | is android open source? |
05:34.05 | gkatsev | most of it |
05:34.10 | rwhitby | there is an android open source project. what you experience on an android phone is far from that. |
05:34.17 | undrwater | :D |
05:34.22 | PatrickC_Pre | lol |
05:34.32 | gkatsev | yeah, google's apps are proprietary |
05:34.37 | gkatsev | and then there are the skins |
05:34.45 | undrwater | drivers for most of the hardware |
05:34.59 | PatrickC_Pre | I wish preware would stop giving me a ghost app update |
05:35.01 | gkatsev | only some of the drivers |
05:35.37 | PatrickC_Pre | tries to think of how to make a dual-boot android/webos phone |
05:35.41 | rwhitby | in essence, a webOS phone is an open as an android phone. the only difference is in the marketing of the open source aspect |
05:35.49 | gkatsev | you can get a dualboot android/iphone, lol |
05:35.56 | PatrickC_Pre | and make millions |
05:36.06 | PatrickC_Pre | on the android/webos phones |
05:36.18 | PatrickC_Pre | dualboot android/ios? |
05:36.24 | gkatsev | there are hacks |
05:36.26 | rwhitby | very hard to make millions on a solution which is not legally viable |
05:36.37 | gkatsev | PatrickC_Pre: except no one would ever boot into webos. Would take forever |
05:36.44 | PatrickC_Pre | well... |
05:36.49 | undrwater | rwhitby: why do you think that if webos were open source, it would be like openmoko? |
05:36.53 | PatrickC_Pre | you could make a book on how to do it... |
05:37.30 | gkatsev | undrwater: rwhitby came from openmoko |
05:37.35 | rwhitby | undrwater: fragmentation, lack of focus, poor decisions. |
05:37.42 | gkatsev | if anyone would know, it's rwhitby |
05:37.57 | PatrickC_Pre | rwhitby knows all :) |
05:38.04 | rwhitby | only did the Makefile for it, was not part of the company |
05:38.26 | gkatsev | lol, I meant community not company. |
05:38.52 | undrwater | wasn't the "lack of focus, poor decisions" a company problem though? |

05:39.27 | undrwater | that's how it played out to me in the mailing lists |
05:40.18 | PatrickC_Pre | so rwhitby: do you think it would be possible to build a meta-doc on-device? |
05:41.09 | phil_bw | wanders by |
05:41.25 | undrwater | :) |
05:41.36 | PatrickC_Pre | hay phil_bw |
05:41.47 | phil_bw | evenin' patrick |
05:42.08 | PatrickC_Pre | how's it goin? |
05:42.45 | rwhitby | PatrickC_Pre: yes |
05:43.06 | PatrickC_Pre | inside webOS? or only if you dual-boot? |
05:43.22 | phil_bw | rwhitby: got a quick question for you. how difficult would it be to write a little utility to connect one pre to another peer to peer over wifi to play a game over wifi without being connected to a network? |
05:43.36 | phil_bw | and it's going well patrick |
05:43.53 | PatrickC_Pre | good |
05:44.26 | rwhitby | phil_bw: just run mobile hotspot on one of the devices. that's what I do for multiplayer games away from an access point. |
05:44.43 | rwhitby | PatrickC_Pre: webOS is linux, meta-doctor run on linux. |
05:45.06 | PatrickC_Pre | will git work? |
05:45.13 | phil_bw | hmm... |
05:45.14 | rwhitby | it's linux |
05:45.29 | PatrickC_Pre | awesome! |
05:45.49 | PatrickC_Pre | now I just need to figure out how to set up git on webos and make a meta-doc |
05:46.06 | rwhitby | oh please dont. |
05:46.15 | PatrickC_Pre | why not? |
05:46.37 | rwhitby | all that will achieve is annoying us here with endless questions about how to achieve something that has no practical purpose in the first place. |
05:46.55 | PatrickC_Pre | ok |
05:47.12 | rwhitby | if you can do it without asking a single question, go for it. |
05:47.12 | PatrickC_Pre | I'll wait to get a *real* linux environment set up |
05:47.36 | PatrickC_Pre | that I can't promise :) |
05:47.50 | PatrickC_Pre | so, I won't try it on webos *yet* |
05:48.28 | phil_bw | rwhitby: since I'm getting in to multiplayer game development I want to make connecting two devices as simple as possible. ideally I'd write my own basically stripped down mobile hotspot that didn't share internet that my games would tie into to automate |
05:48.29 | phil_bw | <PROTECTED> |
05:49.02 | PatrickC_Pre | well, I'm off to bed |
05:49.05 | PatrickC_Pre | night all |
05:49.26 | gkatsev | PatrickC_Pre: if you really want linux now, get a VPS |
05:49.43 | PatrickC_Pre | looks up VPS |
05:49.52 | gkatsev | virtual private servers |
05:49.59 | gkatsev | also, i guess a VM works too |
05:50.33 | PatrickC_Pre | is vm == vbox? |
05:50.42 | PatrickC_Pre | or are there differences? |
05:50.50 | RagingMind | gkatsev, we tried helping him set up a VM... his home computer isn't capable of much more than IRC |
05:51.08 | PatrickC_Pre | no, my *laptop* isnt |
05:51.09 | RagingMind | PatrickC_Pre, vbox is software that provides a vm |
05:51.16 | PatrickC_Pre | my regular computer is |
05:51.40 | PatrickC_Pre | but I have to get caught up in school in order to use it |
05:51.40 | rwhitby | ubuntu runs natively in server mode on a 16MHz Intel 286 with 16MB of memoyr. |
05:52.05 | PatrickC_Pre | can server mode make a meta doc? |
05:52.10 | rwhitby | of course |
05:52.32 | PatrickC_Pre | but it needs internet access is my guess.... so I'm outa luck :'( |
05:53.19 | phil_bw | rwhitby: so what do you think of my idea? feasable to try, or overly complicated? |

05:54.30 | Josef_B | some how my palm phone broke in peices .. ATT won't do anything for me |
05:54.38 | Josef_B | i think i should switch to verizon and get pre2 eh ? |
05:55.12 | rwhitby | phil_bw: and if it did, I doubt there would be a way from an app catalog jail to switch into it |
05:55.43 | rwhitby | phil_bw: assume they are on the same subnet, and advise people to use the hotspot if they are not connected to an access point. |
05:56.12 | rwhitby | phil_bw: use the rendezvous stuff in 2.0 to find each other |
05:56.25 | RagingMind | Josef_B, I think the pre2 went down to $50 on verizon |
05:56.41 | PatrickC_Pre | anyone here use Puppy Linux? |
05:57.11 | phil_bw | rwhitby, I thought about that too. problem is getting hotspot on the phone. It was quite the hack job on mine. |

06:01.51 | RagingMind | I've used puppy before, if you're thinking of using it to build a meta doc... yes it could work, but it's easier to stick with ubuntu |
06:01.56 | Josef_B | gkatsev, like on the 7th of this month |

06:02.38 | rwhitby | yeah, use gentoo so your build environment can be completely different from any other person that might be able to help you. |
06:02.48 | gkatsev | Josef_B: you should return it and get your money back and then get a new contract :P |

06:05.56 | phil_bw | man I've used all number of linux distros out there (including gentoo which was a lot of fun) and I always go back to just straight debian. I really can't find much reason to use anything else at this point. |
06:06.01 | Josef_B | idontwan2know, gentoo is the wrong distro to try as a n00b |
06:06.14 | idontwan2know | it predictably ended in failure. |
06:06.20 | undrwater | ehhehe. |
06:06.35 | undrwater | it's OK for a newb if you are anal about following directions |
06:06.47 | gkatsev | i tried gentoo as a non-n00b and still failed |
06:07.21 | idontwan2know | I tried mandrake next, which was more succesfull |
06:07.32 | rwhitby | minix 1.0 was the best though. |
06:07.44 | phil_bw | I went the other direction, mandrake to gentoo |

22:20.23 | PatrickC_Pixi | anyone know? |
22:21.28 | idontwan2know | cause that's what rwhitby wrote it for |
22:21.49 | halfhalo | and he is the makefile master |
22:21.59 | PatrickC_Pixi | is it even fesible for windows? |
22:22.12 | halfhalo | no |
22:22.26 | PatrickC_Pixi | is hoping puppy will boot with only 25MB of RAM :) |
22:22.28 | PatrickC_Pixi | man |
22:22.48 | PatrickC_Pixi | I guess I have to get some distro of linux running then |
22:23.05 | PatrickC_Pixi | I'll try and get ubuntu working on the main computer tonight (hopefully) |
22:23.42 | PatrickC_Pixi | halfhalo: my camera app suddenly stopped working... |
22:23.53 | PatrickC_Pixi | has this happened before? |
22:24.00 | Jack87 | lies |

22:24.16 | PatrickC_Pixi | I never lie jack87 :p |

22:27.41 | PatrickC_Pixi | I'm on the main |
22:27.48 | idontwan2know | just go with the vbox defaults, they work fine |
22:27.54 | Jack87 | how many gigs total do you have |
22:27.55 | PatrickC_Pixi | I have 4GB available :) |
22:28.05 | PatrickC_Pixi | 4GB |
22:28.05 | halfhalo | 4Gb is like nothing nowadays |

22:28.27 | PatrickC_Pixi | I'll start with 1gig |
22:28.41 | PatrickC_Pixi | then bump up if needed |

22:31.09 | PatrickC_Pixi | ok, when it comes time to install, I have one question |
22:32.35 | PatrickC_Pixi | jack87: could I just make the meta-doc inside the "try" mode, and then install later? |
22:32.48 | rwhitby | PatrickC_Pixi: if you had actually *read* the metadoctor wiki page, you would see that it works equally well with linux, windows or macosx. |
22:33.09 | rwhitby | PatrickC_Pixi: again, watch what you state as authoritative in this channel |
22:33.41 | PatrickC_Pixi | rwhitby, I know it works with cygwin (or whatever it is called) I wanted to know if I could do it with regular windows programs |
22:33.55 | PatrickC_Pixi | like not have to have special programs |
22:34.12 | Jack87 | PatrickC_Pixi, See Cygwin |
22:34.31 | rwhitby | PatrickC_Pixi: seriously, mate. you need to learn how to use the right tools for the job, and not try and use your inferior hammer (windows) for everything. |
22:34.36 | Jack87 | PatrickC_Pixi, just do it in the VM like the wiki explains |

22:36.05 | PatrickC_Pixi | I just didn't want to install special programs |
22:36.19 | SineOt | oh the irony |
22:36.20 | PatrickC_Pixi | but if I'm going to do it, I'll go all the way and go ubuntu as well |
22:36.32 | SineOt | no Cgywin but an ubuntu vm is a-okay |
22:36.48 | Jack87 | PatrickC_Pixi, he isnt telling you to really give up.. haha just do it dude. in a vbox you are safe cant harm anything |
22:37.09 | rwhitby | um, cygwin is no more "special" than UnZip or Git, goth of which you will need to run the meta-doctor |
22:37.28 | rwhitby | seriously, drop your stupid bigotry and just follow the wiki |
22:37.52 | halfhalo | is tempted to try to get it working with ms's outdated linux utils for fun |
22:38.05 | rwhitby | halfhalo: I suspect it would work |
22:38.20 | rwhitby | it's not like metadoctor actually uses anything from Linux |
22:38.30 | PatrickC_Pixi | I'm installing it now |
22:38.34 | phil_bw | feels like he has deja vu... |
22:38.50 | halfhalo | rwhitby: I think it would work otb except for make not being installed |
22:38.50 | rwhitby | I'm sure you could also write meta-doctor in a .bat file if you put your mind to it |
22:38.54 | rwhitby | or visual basic |
22:39.43 | rwhitby | halfhalo: oh, but make is a "special" program, so you can't install that. |
22:40.00 | PatrickC_Pixi | I'm going to go do some school, I'll check on it in a few |
22:40.04 | halfhalo | its because its a virus! |
22:40.13 | Jack87 | rwhitby encurages others to do it... but he has no need to for himself. he did the hard part... if others figure out ways to spread the wealth by all means go for it and wiki it |
22:40.17 | PatrickC_Pixi | has flash become any simpler to install? |
22:40.29 | SineOt | Flash is already simple to install o_o |
22:41.01 | PatrickC_Pre | how? |
22:41.02 | Jack87 | has not found any need to install flash (yet) |
22:41.14 | PatrickC_Pre | I thought you had to make special files locally to do it... |
22:41.15 | rwhitby | PatrickC_Pixi: FFS, have you not *READ* the wiki page ? |
22:41.22 | PatrickC_Pre | most of it |
22:41.25 | PatrickC_Pre | but not lately |
22:41.32 | PatrickC_Pre | just got back from a trip |
22:41.38 | rwhitby | well what the **** are you doing here asking questions about it? |
22:41.41 | phil_bw | I'm just going to enjoy flash on my Pre2 when it arrives, going to leave the old minus at 1.4.5 for beta testing purposes |
22:41.57 | PatrickC_Pre | I'll go read it then... |
22:41.58 | PatrickC_Pre | sorry |
22:42.16 | halfhalo | 20 says make is included in this download |
22:42.39 | rwhitby | PatrickC_Pixi: put a sticker on the ? key on your keyboard that says "have I read the wiki page for this first, before I make a fool of myself asking a question about it on the IRC channel, annoying those who can help me in the process" - ok? |
22:42.51 | Jack87 | phil_bw, did you order a pre2.. me wnat one so bad |

23:21.24 | Jack87 | bhuey, pre2 is $30 on verizon on conract |
23:21.58 | Jack87 | SineOt, viatnam folks got to paly with touch pad.. but HP wont let you even smell it in the states haha |
23:22.07 | SineOt | It came out of Vietnam, so it's most likely that it's a testing unit that got 'gently lifted' out of a factory in China along the border or in one of the new factories in North Vietnam |
23:22.24 | SineOt | I really doubt that HP sanctioned this :p |
23:22.40 | Jack87 | haha true |
23:22.51 | Jack87 | test units are like $10s of Gs! |
23:23.16 | Jack87 | thats what kevin told me... Lisa's partner |
23:24.08 | SineOt | Vietnam has had a few really high profile tech leaks recently |
23:25.17 | SineOt | because from what I read a lot of companies are kind of moving small batch production of things like test devices to factories in Vietnam or something |
23:25.23 | SineOt | so there's a lot of unreleased tech floating around |
23:26.10 | Jack87 | note to self... take vacations in vietnam |
23:26.52 | SineOt | there was a big leak of iPhone 4 parts out of Vietnam a while back |
23:27.11 | SineOt | basically the entire casing assembly |
23:27.37 | SineOt | didn't get much attention but then that iPhone 4 got picked up in a bar and suddenly everyone was all about it, even though all the parts had leaked earlier :p |
23:29.42 | Jack87 | thats intresting |
23:29.55 | SineOt | there's been a few leaks like that that come to mind |
23:30.06 | Jack87 | wants to get a verizon pre2 for $30 off contract :-) that be nice |
23:30.16 | SineOt | the touchscreen for the new iPod Nano leaked probably 4-5 months prior to launch and it got like, zero attention |
23:30.33 | Jack87 | SineOt, where do you hear about these leaks? |
23:30.43 | SineOt | the internet P: |
23:30.43 | PatrickC_Pre | we need a webosi app that has all the articles built in |
23:31.05 | SineOt | Engadget, 9to50mac, Apple Rumors. I check them every so often and sometimes there's interesting stuff that floats around |

23:34.57 | bhuey | Jack87: not looking to change carriers |

23:35.49 | Loudergood | not to mention shinier devices waiting in the wings |
23:35.55 | Jack87 | bhuey, no.. i mean... if pre2 is that cheap on contract than people will start selling em off contract soon enough so 80 bucks for a pre+ doesnt look so nice anymore |

23:45.57 | bhuey | Jack87: because of the speed of the device or somethign else ? |
23:46.03 | bhuey | EVO is pretty fast |
23:46.33 | Jack87 | speed + webos! |
23:46.41 | bhuey | well |
23:46.45 | Jack87 | big screen and all that funs tuff |
23:46.47 | PatrickC_Pre | thanks djwhitney |
23:46.47 | bhuey | webos is slow |
23:46.52 | Jack87 | s/tuff/stuff/ |
23:47.01 | bhuey | so how is this different than an EVO ? |
23:47.02 | PatrickC_Pre | s/djwhitney/djwhitey/ |
23:47.55 | bhuey | running webos on a good device is a great experience, but what would anybody say to that experience that already exists on an EVO or related device ? |
23:48.02 | PatrickC_Pre | webos is not *that* slow |
23:48.12 | PatrickC_Pre | when OCed |
23:48.14 | bhuey | pre- dude :) |
23:48.23 | PatrickC_Pre | OC to 1.2GHz |
23:48.29 | PatrickC_Pre | :) |
23:48.30 | bhuey | still very slow |
23:48.31 | PatrickC_Pre | works awesome |
23:48.35 | bhuey | fuck that's insane |
23:48.38 | PatrickC_Pre | or even 1.005MHz |
23:48.47 | bhuey | it's still slow because my problems are with memory |
23:48.54 | PatrickC_Pre | the 1.005MHz is good |
23:49.04 | djwhitey_pre | my sprint pre- runs 2.1 pretty well at 1GHz |
23:49.09 | bhuey | I run app and do IO that exceed the comfort of that deice |
23:49.29 | bhuey | sadly enough |
23:49.40 | djwhitey_pre | bhuey: memory is my bottleneck as well. using compcache=32MB |
23:49.46 | PatrickC_Pre | are you running 2.1? |
23:49.54 | bhuey | yeah, still slow, but it does help |
23:50.04 | bhuey | can't replace raw memory |
23:50.24 | bhuey | I wish it was a chip that can be replaced with a speciall soldering tool |
23:51.00 | Loudergood | my pre+ seems to work well |
23:51.06 | djwhitey_pre | bhuey needs a FrankenPre+ =) |

23:52.43 | Jack87 | pre2 reviews on verizon site are saddening |
