I suggest you petition Linus. Its the kernel devs which don't want to allow nVidia access to needed APIs for Optimus due to GPL pissing contest.

Not really. We already have several different platforms out there catering to "average Joe". I think it's time hackers actually get something tailored to their use instead of having to suffer compromises on other platforms.

No, Unity2D was still Unity rendered without 3D. MATE is older Gnome2.

Because that doesn't work on the iPhone. iOS has those settings baked in. I ditched my iPhone when I got tired of my tethering options randomly disappearing/reappearing on minor iOS updates without a chance to override that. Even though my

I thought we got past regional bullcrap in 21st century as well. But as long as all other digital music stores and streaming services greet me with "Go away, you're not allowed to listen to us from your countrty" I'm happy to give Groovesha

I might be the only sceptic here, but the fact that it seems that Valve has conflict of interest when it comes to Microsoft lately (see Gabe's comments) makes me doubt the authenticity of these results. I'd love to see real performance impr

If I put it the same way the author did: "If you don't like Android's openness, this is your bus stop." We don't NEED another iOS... iOS and WP7 is enough.

Because in environments where Java is used "switch language your're using" just isn't such a viable option. Especially in the light of an option of just upgrading the language. There's nothing seriously wrong with Java that couldn't be fixe

Because you don't really expect a music player to destroy your collection without as much as a warning.

Um, pretty much all parallelizable CPU number crunching (data mining algorithms, computer vision etc.) which aren't covered in C code. Those are especially problematic, since they're usually coupled with numpy and simillar libraries not sup

"Best viewed in a WebKit browser." Ah yes, that brings back memories. IE 4.0 was it?

That actally happens quite alos around here... Those "test" meetups were even sponsored by local service providers and Samsung.

Funny how that exactly mirrors my experiences building a HTML5/JS app on iPad - I've quickly managed to get 90% of the app done and then wasted hours and frustrating hours of hunting WebKit performance issues, bugs without pretty much any h

You mean the identical limit that also 32-bit Linux applications on x86 have without reconfiguring kernel for different split? It seems Windows bashing without any background knowledge is becoming popular again -_-

Yeah, same here in Slovenia - even though FTTH providers have 100/100 available, people usually opt for cheaper 100/10 or 10/10 options because of pricing (100/100 is 100€/mo, 100/10 is 27€/mo, 10/10 is 22€/mo, which is a noticable differen

I'm just hoping slimming down memory usage won't go at the expense of speed... my systems have 16GB of RAM - I want Firefox to use as much memory as possible to speed up my experience. So if slimming down FF will make my disk trash more, th

Android Design guidelines actively discurage this pattern - it supposedly too "iOSish" and protected by patterns.

Yeah this... I've found out that I subconsciously actively avoid refactoring our (old and in parts terrible) codebase because the tools for it are so bad.

Android still has Prey published and working under those terms. Why the hell are you defending Apple here? Whatdo we iOS users gain from this situation?

Universities usually don't use "turnkey" solutions, because the point is to actually implement algorithms, that are hidden behind Simple/OpenCV method calls. Matlab, being a very fast numeric platform, most CS students know, is perfect for

Internal ffmpeg aac encoder is still experimental and tends to create broken AAC streams at times. The other options: A) libfaac / libvo_aacenc are pretty bad in terms of quality and have problems with multi-channel audio B) libaacplus only

Interesting, my M1330 got motherboard replaced within a day after the nVidia died. Still works perfectly, I've never been happier with a laptop.

It means 1366x768 like usual "720p" displays.

sigh Is it too much to ask HTML5 advocates to make sure their pages render properly on an iPad?

Yes, sadly it is. The final testing/bugfix cycle crunch is very common, even in the big studios.

I hate to be "that guy", but for someones sake, fix the site on ipads. Not only it tells you you're using an incompatibble browser (a blast from IE past), then it swirtches to iPad specific (????) non-zoomable fixed layout, which makes it p

I've been using Ubuntu with apt-get for quite a few years now. What additional funcionality does aptitude offer over "plain" apt-get?

Thats exactly what I meant, I might have just phrased it in a wrong way :/
