amarsh04I find a few die-hards in aus.dvd and aus.tv.digitalAug 02 06:31
schestowitzSome nwsgroups survived, but many ISPs shut down their USENET server/gatewayAug 02 06:32
schestowitzOurs included (manchester  university)Aug 02 06:32
amarsh04ours was going to discontinue, but too many people complained so we have access to astraweb.com that counts against our quota but is otherwise free with our isp accessAug 02 06:34
amarsh04most local technical discussion is on forums.whirlpool.net.auAug 02 06:36
schestowitzThis was they can 'advertise' and censor in a USENET replacementAug 02 06:48
schestowitzNo longer decentralisedAug 02 06:48
MinceRit's a nice forum though :)Aug 02 06:53

ZiomatrixWebOS still lacks GTK compatibility to be able to port and run most Linux apps thoughAug 10 18:34
schestowitzPre seems like just Linux at the gutsAug 10 18:36
Ziomatrixalso WebOS now has Native development with the PDK, but not all are able to use it since Palm is patching up security permissions (being released in patch 1.4.5) before releasing it more openly.Aug 10 18:37
Ziomatrixschestowitz: it is Linux when it comes down to the kernel and firmware, but with with a very eloquent API and interface overlay like OSX, but more open to devs.Aug 10 18:38
Ziomatrixschestowitz: it would be better though if you ask an actual WebOS developer on the nitty gritty of its internals. I suggest even looking into Precentral as many homebrew developers hang out there, there is even the #webos-internals channel. But I think you need to register to be able to chat there.Aug 10 18:42
schestowitz<Ziomatrix> also WebOS now has Native development with the PDK, but not all are able to use it since Palm is patching up security permissions (being released in patch 1.4.5) before releasing it more openly.Aug 10 18:48

schestowitz>>> But I think you need to register to be able to chat there.Aug 10 18:49
schestowitzOpen... but registration needdAug 10 18:50
Ziomatrixschestowitz: Palm claims it is to prevent anyone from executing malicious code since at the time of the release of the PDK there were no permissions worked in to prevent a program from accessing your contacts, account data and any secured cache from browsing.Aug 10 18:53
Ziomatrixschestowitz: that should change more so with a wider rollout of patch 1.4.5. But Palm still is like Google where they have this you got your's (homebrew) and I got mine (core developers) philosophy. Except Palm is giving more to the homebrewer and user for the time being.Aug 10 18:54
schestowitzAre they still marketing?Aug 10 18:55

Ziomatrixtessier: Whats your opinion on Palm not being completely open about releasing the PDK to devs until security permissions are added? From what I understand PDK brings full C/C++ OpenGL ES access to core graphics libraries and hardware framework to WebOS btw.Aug 10 19:03
Ziomatrixtessier: you think that puts them in the same league as Google with Android?Aug 10 19:03
Ziomatrixtessier: from what I understand its security permissions to prevent PDK apps from accessing the contacts and communication features within WebOS to utilize automatically. In laymans terms to me they it seems they are concerned about their phones turning into zombies in the wrong hands.Aug 10 19:05
Ziomatrixtessier: or do you think they are poor excuses much like what Sony gave to remove the OtherOS feature from PS3?Aug 10 19:06
