In Topic: Nokia N900 Review

25 May 2012 - 08:25 AM

Overclocking N900 is easy. Enable extras-testing in package manager and install Linux kernel for power user and Linux kernel for power user (settings and overclock) from it.

Or via command line if you prefer:
# apt-get install kernel-power-flasher
# apt-get install kernel-power-settings

This new kernel comes with enabled greater than Nokia kernel chipset power saving technique called Smart Reflex. It changes voltage dynamically.

Now to overclock:
# sudo gainroot
# kernel-config load dsp
# kernel-config limits 500 850
# kernel-config save myconfig
# kernel-config default myconfig

This basically loads new DSP profile, sets frequency limits from 500MHz to 850MHz, saves configuration and sets this as default. Try with various workloads and you should see increase in responsiveness and battery life.

BTW, do not worry about minimum 500MHz, device still sleeps at 0, this will just make it respond faster from sleep.

PS use kernel-power stable v50 or later!

I disagree. Although Lumia 900 looks nice, but it lacks ability to customize your environment (Windows Phone is such a pain in the *bottom*), hardware keyboard, storage not extendable, no mass storage mode, hard to get media files into Lumia 900, etc. It doesn't even stand up to very old by todays standard Nokia N900. The screen is bigger, yes, but resolution is the same and touch accuracy is worse (capacitive on Lumia and excellent resistive touch screen on N900).

I have now second phone - developer Nokia N950. Although it runs Maemo 6 (or Meego Harmattan, if you prefer) and can tell you that capacitive screen is not useful for touching small objects on web pages. You have to constantly zoom in and out.

I might write review of N950, if I can get around to it, as it has superior hardware keyboard, camera to N900, but still, N900 is my main workhorse phone and I hope it doesn't break anytime soon ;]

If you like science fiction added to it, then The Thing (1982) directed by John Carpenter. It is one of the best horror movies!

In Topic: 4gb In Xp 32bits

25 May 2012 - 07:34 AM

Note, when you enable PAE, memory operations are going to be a little slower. Also, there is no guarantee, that this will work, especially on Intel chipsets or CPUs or certain BIOS. They have many revisions of chipset/CPU combos where > 4GB is not supported in 32bit mode.

On other note, if you have capable hardware, it is better to use Windows7, because it is really more secure than Windows XP with process memory allocation randomization, sandboxes, stack protection, security fixes and allows you to actually use unprivileged user for everyday operations.

In Topic: Why Should Only Women Compromise Their Career For Family?

25 May 2012 - 07:22 AM

I don't have a deep knowledge of how it is in India, but from here it looks like that "fixed marriage" is the culprit of your problem. Family is a sacrifice from woman and man. Family is something created by both adults and it is their choice to do so. Women, of course, have bigger burden (pregnancy, child birth, post-birth time), but it is also a man who keeps everything together. Respect have to go from both sides. It is easier to come to agreement on certain conditions, when it is the case.

Children grow not only when woman is at home ;]
