Re: Longsoon/Godson MIPS boxes, where to buy?

It anyone wants to go right to Lemote and start selling on Amazon or direct in your area, they were priced at $280/ea in 10 qty about 2 years ago. So they're probably much cheaper now.

I thought I could get some help on where to find a cheap MIPS box, specifically the Lemote. Oh well! Arrogant motherfucker! we tell you to just not buy the device in question if you don't wanna pay its price. that doesn't even require you to make your genius and superiour morals public. But your bandwidth is justified in your own eyes I am sure hey miod, we must convince the rest of us to leave openbsd, this guy here said so, and he's obviously an omniscient genius.

Re: Longsoon/Godson MIPS boxes, where to buy?
The deal with Lemote is you want free box with no restricted anything its the way to go. For 250 us dollar its not a bad network but for 500 for the 10.9 I can get a used I5 for that price easy. Its just not the same to compair an intel aton or I3 to Lemote product. I think it is and I don't care what's free or not. I'm looking at what you get for your money and an Intel box for the same price (specially a used one like you said) is head and shoulders above the current Longsoon. I would like a MIPS box but I am not going to be held hostage to buy one and neither are most people.

I would like a MIPS box but I am not going to be held hostage to buy one and ^^ neither are most people. These words you keep on using... I don't think they mean what you think they mean.

Re: Longsoon/Godson MIPS boxes, where to buy?
What is the point of this thread? Huh? MIPS licenses the technology to a Chinese fabricator; They make the chips and they are used in a very open source netbook which Lemote happens to sell.; Stallman himself uses one. From his perspective, from an article I read, he stated he uses one because the BIOS is open source. A company in China has come out with a MIPS based Android tablet for $100.

That's ok because I'm the one who keeps on using them, not you. But I meant what I wrote just so you know. Noone is holding you at gunpoint until you are buying a Lemote device. No but the factory is making sure only limited dealers can sell them. I smell a rat. If you consider them too expensive for what you think they are worth, it's fine. But don't tell people their prices are ``holding people in hostage''. Thanks. Oh, so you are one of the people holding people hostage by limiting distribution and you're just not admitting it? Or you're just an argumentative sonofabitch and for some reason you believe it's your responsibility to police the net for certain types of posts and align yourself with those who gouge people on slave labor technology? After all it costs them about 5 bucks to actually make it. Pardon me I am not rushing to pay 250 dollars. That seems excessive as I have said. Since you have advice for me, let me share some for you. Mind your own fucking business. I really don't give a shit that you don't think a restricted distribution network and price controls are fine. Most of the rest of us don't agree. Now go away.. Ehum, if Miod would have done that, there would likely be no OpenBSD running on these Loongsons.

Re: Longsoon/Godson MIPS boxes, where to buy?
most netbooks with Intel Atom retail in the $250 to $400 range; what's your damage? Because the Longsoon stuff is not on the level of refinement of Intel, not by a long shot. Longsoon is supposed to be cheap. So far it's not.
Re: Longsoon/Godson MIPS boxes, where to buy?
The deal with Lemote is you want free box with no restricted anything its the way to go. For 250 us dollar its not a bad network but for 500 for the 10.9 I can get a used I5 for that price easy. Its just not the same to compair an intel aton or I3 to Lemote product. One is totally free and the other is not On 12/31/2011 09:57 PM, Nomen Nescio wrote: most netbooks with Intel Atom retail in the $250 to $400 range; what's your damage?

Re: Longsoon/Godson MIPS boxes, where to buy?
i saw them on face book and amazon also 250 500 us dollars Like Kurt Russell said, That's TOO FUCKING HIGH!!! When they start selling them for a fair price let's say 50 bucks for the black box and maybe 150 for a loaded laptop then it's time to buy. Until then, tekmote isn't getting my business.

I'm currently reading Richtisch beese MC$uler (Hessische Satiren) Reallybad Jaws (Satires from Hesse) a retrospective of humour from my little homeland :), and one of the stories therein is Heinrich Hoffmann - HandbCchlein fCr WChler - 'Little [or: Petty] Handbook' for Agitators The same author also wrote The Story of Little Suck-a-Thumb.
