I've heard OEMs make more money from pre-installing adware/spyware/trialware than what they pay for the Windows license. You can always decline the EULA and try to get a refund for the bundled Windows license. In Europe it is

Yea, the slow scrolling on Android is annoying. I believe it's caused by not using the native functionality, which I hope gets fixed soon: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776030

It's likely talking about all future dividends (discounted for time value). Startups will naturally reinvest their earnings to grow, but at some point, pursuing growth will be too costly and the best use of their earnings will be to

Probably the largest application written in Rust is the Rust compiler itself.

Yes, I'd say a language runtime definately falls in that critical 3% Knuth referred to in the original quote.

Makes sense if you are the only person running your programs (and you are allowed to ignore things like hardware and power costs). Also, 2 minutes per change to compile the object files affected and link the executable seems a bit excessive

I like both Dota 2 and HoN, but HoN definitely has the upper hand with regards to fast-pace twitch-based gameplay. The first thing a HoN player notices when trying out Dota 2 for the first time is that input delay. Supposedly part of the pr

What? That doesn't sound right... how does the distribution method affect copyright? Think of all the free software (with licenses dependent on copyright) that's made available over BitTorrent. Or World of Warcraft game updates, o

You need the driver before the chip is out so that your favorite distro already supports it when you buy that new GPU card.

It is really noticeable when dragging something with your finger and the object you are dragging doesn't stay under your finger. I'm actually surprised the delay on all those devices are so high, I mean I can ping a Google server

Are you sure? The article doesn't seem to say whether it's a hardware or software issue, and the iphone's hardware parts aren't exactly secret proprietary stuff... I mean the Galaxy S4 is supposed to have the better Powe

Well AMD is technically fabless since they spinned off GlobalFoundries in 2009, but yea it's probably a good move for them.

The letter l on it's own at small font sizes resembles the number 1 in other fonts too closely. In fact, my default sans font (DejaVu Sans) has the 1 shaped just like the Inconsolata l. I'm sure it's something you get used to

I don't think I mentioned any technical reason? Allocating developer time is generally a management decision. If anything, Intel has already put their resources into Wayland and the lack of any good technical reasons for Mir's exi

Yep, all of their technical reasons have pretty much been debunked. The reason for Mir's existence is mainly about project control. As Matthew Garrett mentions[1], they likely need that control for Ubuntu Phone to be able to relicense

That's how the Kore web server works ( https://kore.io/ ); it makes you generate a static.h file at compile time that contains all of you your static content. But like you say, I have to wonder if it actually makes a d
