  May I kindly suggest that the community newsletter is a good place to
add links with a brief description of important emails ? Here is the
draft of the next issue, help is immensely appreciated:

(OM2008.8-update) (audio/GSM) alsamixer names

That would be a great deed. The present alsa channel names stink so much
that only the bravest of the brave dare to get close to that subsystem.
That goes a long way to explain why so far we still do not have the
automagical configuration we all would like. Even on my desktop box, by
the way, I had to rewire it to my stereo using the analog jack output
because I lost the configuration for the coax digital.

Startup/Xstart image replacement (How to remove the boots?!)

2008-09-16 Thread haduong
Hi,

  The boot splash should be flashed in its own partition. It was mentioned
on the -devel list that it is apparently going to be part of the next
upgrade. I posted the link to that message on the list last week IIRC,
suggesting to add it to the zenity interface.

In Real Life, telephones with two SIM slots are meant to be used by
married people who need a secure, second communication channel...

The Neo FreeRunner SAR tests at 1.07 W/kg GSM and 1.17 W/kg DCS. I would
say that's average, on the high side.

The legal limit 1.6 W/kg in the US, 2 W/kg in the EU, and really few on
the market get below 0.3.

I guess that having a setting to limit the radiations emissions at the
expense of radio sensitivity would be a Good Thing. Open Source choice is
better for your health. That's has a different convincing power than `you
can choose whichever keyboard you like', yes ?
