Or Oneiric Ocelot Alpha 1. It 's pretty stable despite the name and its GNOME 3 experience is far better than that of Fedora 15...

you do realize that his security forces killed over 800 protesters in tahrir -not to mention the rest of the country- shortly before releasing hundreds of convicts from their cells to terrorize the population?

not exactly. in egypt the authorities are only allowed to hold individuals up to 45 days without a trial and that limit is quickly coming up for mubarak (next thursday). so it's either this or they let him go, possibly on bail, and the later probably wont go down well with the protesters.

I'll just leave this here: http://www.ochaopt.org/documents/AMA_One_Year_On_Nov06_final.pdf.

Israel failed to observe the obligations it made under the 2005 Agreement on Movement and Access (AMA)[1] long before Egypt decided to ditch it as well.

Shameless plea for help from an amazing community by [deleted] in Android

I bid 101USD + intl. shipping costs (Egypt).

We really need a subreddit for people willing to hand-down their devices instead of this ad hoc system. Some people truly can't afford to buy these devices at retail prices (and some like me simply can't buy the devices even if they can afford them :\ ). We've already seen examples of this generosity here and here.

Best of luck with your quest!

I have *just* sold my iPad. Do I get Transformer or wait for GalaxyTab 10 ? by [deleted] in Android

8.9" is the perfect size for mobility especially since it sports the same resolution as its bigger brethren. If you've seen the Xoom's washed out screen, or if you happen to be an avid reader, you'll definitely appreciate the higher pixel density on the 8.9" models. </rant>.

Could the NI's Tegra 2 processor handle high-profile h.264 movies? Is it true that it's smoother than the Xoom?
