You've got me beat. Woosh in Auck is only getting 895. average. I've tried telecom and it dribbles along as well so who is getting the good speeds?

What would it take/how much would it cost to keep it running? Is it as simple as paying for a VPS/server or does it require a sysadmin to maintain it to?

I highly doubt anything as drastic as a DDR1 to DDR2 change will even happen in the XO 1.5. What we're looking at is similar to what game console manufacturers do as time goes on. Minor changes and removals to deal with supply issues and problematic parts and to make it cheaper to manufacture

i agree with julie...parenting is a hotbed of arguments and people telling you or thinking you are a terrible parent and they can't believe you don't or do (insert one of many examples here) in regards to your child. my son is 16 months old and i'm still breastfeeding him. i work part-time and tried expressing when he was wee but he wasn't having a bottle and i was cool with that as i found expressing painful and that it messed with my milk supply hence i gave it up relatively quickly. the longest he is in daycare is 7 hours without milk and he survives! my boobs are certainly full and sore by the end of the day but he feeds as soon as i pick him up and that goes away very quickly. i have made a choice to let him self-wean when he is ready. i don't miss drinking (although shock horror i do have a very small amount once in a blue moon), i absolutely love the connection and feeling i get from nourishing my son and i know he loves it too. i am training to be a midwife at the moment and breastfeeding is one of my major interest areas. we have a paper called 'lactation and breastfeeding' but i'm unsure as yet if we learn about bottle feeding and how to do this. i hope so, i would be worried if we didn't as i would feel there would be something missing in my knowledge base. i will admit that i do not understand it where mothers choose not to breastfeed there baby at all, even that research-proven all important cholosterum. i guess it's kind of like having children in the first place, there are women out there that can't have children at all and so dearly want one and then there are women that irresponsibly have children when they can't cope with or afford or even seem to want to have children. and so in the case of breastfeeding, there are women that so dearly want to be able to but can't because of physical reasons. but as always, it is a women's choice as to what she does with her body and whilst i might not understand not wanting to breastfeed because of whatever the reason may be - inconvenience, work, mental/emotional, etc - i do respect her choice. i also agree that there is too much shaming and disrespect in the realm of parenting - (most) people do the best they can in the best way that they know how and with the resources that they have. it's a hard enough job raising a child as it is let alone having the way you do it judged.

CHENGDU, China - A Chinese policewoman is contributing to the country’s massive earthquake relief effort in a very personal way -- by breastfeeding eight babies.

How would they formula feed without refrigeration, sterilisation equipment and clean water? :-S

I would think it far more likely they are going to be nearby a hungry child to feed it directly? the majority of these babies will have been breastfed and so far healthier for them both physiologically and psychologically/emotionally to be fed by another mother.

perhaps you're right - but the point i was making is that humanitarian agencies say they want formula; so who are we, far away typing at our computers, to say we know better. There are more likely scenarios, but they help all, not just the majority who are still mother and child and breastfeeding.

I should clarify re the privilege thing. Thinking about it:

1) physical separation of mother and baby while still feeding the baby appropriately (either breastmilk or nutritionally sound substitutes, ie formula) is already a privilege of women in developed and some developing countries (although cross-nursing might make it somewhat possibly less often for all women): it's not available at all if you can't afford formula or can't use it correctly

2) physical separation while still feeding the baby the mother's own breastmilk is a considerable privilege (of having refrigeration. hygiene knowledge, pumping knowledge, optionally pumping equipment)

The comment [by mary] above was spot-on about much of this debate. Unfortunately, the problem is in the rhetoric. Yes, all things being equal, breastfeeding is by far the safest and best feeding practice in a disaster. But in this particular situation (Haiti), they were dealing with a large number of orphaned kids and a population who believes that trauma and sadness can "spoil" breastmilk. Ideally, money would have been sent to deploy lactation specialists and counselors who were accustomed to dealing with Haitian culture; these individuals could have encouraged and assisted women to nurse.

However, this just wasn't a realistic goal in the midst of a disaster of this scope. I saw arguments for wet nursing, getting neighbors or grandmas to relactate... disregarding the factors of time, effort, medical assistance and psychological holdups (would you want to nurse someone else's kid if you'd just lost yours? I don't know. I've never been in that situation.) Meanwhile, those who tried to donate formula were chastised. My argument all along was, why not ensure that the kids without a lactating mom were fed (using RTF formula - as the previous poster said, water is a MAJOR concern), while providing breastfeeding support as it became more possible, in the hopes that once things settled a bit, THEN women could relactate. If they weren't lactating already, waiting another month wouldn't hurt. And formula is indeed lifesaving in these situations.

Great post.

XO-1.5 is now headed to One Laptop Per Child or OLPC contributors program for free, according to Liliputing. These are the test models, an updated version of original XO machines which has been upgraded with AMD Geode processor from VIA C7-M.

In Open source 75% of women have experienced sexism, while only 15% of men have noticed sexism.

Given the severe under-representation of women in Open Source, I think that means "the number of men who have noticed sexism is greater than the number of women who have experienced it." Which would be an odd kind of encouraging.


Here's an idea: what if every male in open source strove to remark "that's kind of sexist, isn't it?" every time they noticed it?

Did you really just call Brenda a conservative blogger? Buddy, you are out of wack. I'm about as far from conservative as it is possible to be, and I refused to drink at the malthouse while those lips were about. Being disgusted by misogyny isn't conservative, it's being a good human.

this new legislation is way too vague:
"reasonably implement a policy that provides for termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the account with that internet service provider of a repeat infringer".
How will they know exactly if the music I download is Illegal? It could be from Itunes. It could be Public Domain Music. It could be Music that I own in Record or CD form and am simple backing up on my computer through downloading. the same goes for Movie Downloads too.
ISP's will simple not follow these laws, they will not prosecute their own customers for using the internet for what it was made for. it's all very backwards.
