The first clue is that flv is, like many other video codec/format, is
patent encumbered. Therefor it is understandable that Nokia don't want
to ship support for it if they have not cleared it.

I wouldn't go that far.

Because a C library can be used as is in C++. So instead of reinventing
the wheel, C++ programmers just use the C library.

C code compiled by g++ isn't slower or faster. It should be the same.
(I'm talking runtime speed here)
Just because there seems to be another myth being entertained.

You can mix C and C++ easily. You can recompile your C code with a C++ 
compiler[1].


Hub

[1] possibly with a few changes that will keep the code compilable with 
a C compiler. This was part of the C++ design.

The real problem is that PDF is not a format for electronic books. 
Because it hardcodes paper size and layout, it is not independant of the 
media. PDF is a format for digital rendering of printouts.

As long as this will not be understood, then the problem will stick.
(and this also applies to people who think PDF is also for the web)

And to fall back on the subject of Maemo, this problem shows when the 
"User's Manual" for the N800 is provided as a PDF on the device... and 
the inline help tries to refer to it.

If the repository is for mistral, then it should run on mistral, aka
2.0. I tried myself on sirocco, aka 2.1.

1/ you could still port maemomm to maemo 2.0. It is free software after all.
2/ you can still use C++ even if the API itself are not. AbiWord is a
good example of C++ application for maemo (and plain Gtk)

It is not like you got forbidden to do it.

People in Canada are not allowed to order at all.

Apparently there is a US custom problem for shipping to Canada[1]

Is it that hard to tell the US shop to ship device out of the country in
that case? After all since the {Canadian,insert_your_local} store does
not even know about the N800 it is not competing with them, right?

The fact that I can't use the code in Europe also prevents me from going
through my parents. And no I'm not asking to have my code exchanged for
a EU one

I know the "maemo coupon team" do their best, and I thank them for that
as much as I am grateful for them to have put me on the list, but it is
just very sad and disappointing that business bureaucracy[1] just kill
all the good ideas.

I think I should invite all the people with a coupon that can't order to
contact both the closest Nokia store and their local Nokia store to
inquire about that issue. I have already contacted the Nokia store in
the USA to inquire about buying from them, but haven't gotten a reply so
far. I'm willing to be patient with that.

I received a code, thanks to the Maemo team.

Now, I would like to ask how one is supposed to order from Canada? The
Canadian Nokia store does not list it. Will the US store accept and
order to Canada? Their contact form already proved that it was not
suited for Canada (they expect a 5 digit Zip code, we have 6 alphanum
postal code here).

Note that I'm willing to wait a bit if that help getting things sorted out.
