[snip] OTOH, how does the nokia.co.in website cope with gnulinux and opensource tools? i find parts of its site not entirely compatible with my ubuntu cocktail. these are the sections where a lot of flash and custom-coding is used, say in the sections on the Nokia N 71 and N90 and 91 series. even some of the popup rollover menus don't populate with entries elsewhere.
in another perspective, i wonder how their website fares when viewed from a mobile over edge+gprs connection... but that's another story. *** i also find browsing the web problematic over gnulinux and free software, as several sites that use the latest flash, or the latest quicktime or mediaplayer files, don't work properly. sure, i do have flash installed here, but the LATEST flash, quicktime, and mediaplayer files are a problem. *** finally, anyone had any luck making a personal copy of a DVD movie for themselves? the kind that has region-encoding and a lot of DRM locks and keys? i haven't even attempted this yet, even though by fair-use rights i can make my own personal copy. for the tech-spiel you could check out the fairly comprehensive: http://dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html and shudder. yes! dvd is not as simple as cd. n _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/ http://freedel.in - September 16-17, 2006
