 Has anyone who actually has hardware right now tried/had luck running a

 Skype, especially since it looks like it's integrated into GrandCentral 
 (http://www.grandcentral.com/) and is based on open standards (and closed 
 source). 
 It also looks like Gizmo directly supports the Maemo on the Nokia N800 
 (http://gizmoproject.com/learnmore-nokia800.html).

Other options are http://ekiga.org/ and http://www.openwengo.org/.  They
both do SIP.  I know about Ekiga because it ships with Ubuntu, and it's
completely open source.  I don't know that much about OpenWengo.

Re: France : Taxes for video and mp3 playing capacity

I definitely don't think FIC (or now Openmoko) should include the cost
(if there is one) of the licence to play MP3s.  I don't want to pay
that, and I don't think anyone else should either.  I'm happy with just
Ogg and FLAC files.  Maybe an MP3 library can be downloaded separately,
like the way most Linux distributions handle DVD playing.

If you want to pay for MP3s, don't make me pay for it as well! ;)

And I really like that speeding ticket analogy.  This tax that assumes
guilt is insane.  I don't understand how modern democratic justice
systems can tolerate it.

Re: Subject prefix for e-mails

Hi list,

 I agree, all the info are already provided, and you have to setup your

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.  I had no idea that MUAs cared
about the List-Id header.  I just found a way to set this up in Mutt,

Subject prefix for e-mails

2007-12-27 Thread Colan Schwartz
Hi all,

Would it be possible to add a descriptive prefix to each e-mail sent to
this list?  I don't mind getting a lot of e-mail, but if it's from a
list, I'd like to know where it's coming from.

I've got this working for all of my Mailman lists, so I know it's
possible.  (IIRC it needs to be set on the list config page.)  How about
something like [OMCommunity].  I don't really care what it is exactly,
as long as it's identifiable.

Thanks,
-c.
