That's what I was thinking. I've seen this headline on a few sites in the last few days and the commenters all seem to be talking about Linux in the past tense. Apparently I didn't get the memo because my laptop with Ubuntu on it is still

Wow that looks pretty awesome. I'll bet it would be really nice with Jellybean on it. What are you using to make the touch screen work?

Well, it's pretty obvious this isn't Slashdot but I'm curious, where did you get your psychology degree because without it your analysis rings pretty hollow. Oh, and the affected ellipsis at the end of your drivel... What does that imply

"Android as model of a free OS is just a tribute to the organizers methinks." Yeah, I'm sure the fact that you can download the source code to it, make any changes you want, and redistribute that source code or that you can install any app

"Ever notice how Jony Ive looks nothing like a Googler?" What the f is this shit? This guy: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UxbxdEwXL7Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/A... is the counterpart to Jony Ive. And that goes for the rest of your head-in-your-a

Like most people I put my Galaxy Nexus in a case shortly after purchase and never see the plastic.

I would imagine that even if for some strange reason the Secret Service (who likely would investigate something like this) didn't pick up your claim you would still have grounds for a civil suit. Just insert sympathetic jury!

"but I thought it was well-accepted that at "small scales", the universe is very non-continuous and chaotic?" It is and the funny thing is this guy has a funny definition of "now" considering Max Planck discovered light travels in discrete

"If the press passes on a breathless press release that turns out to be false, they just point the finger at somebody else, but in the meantime, they've driven traffic to whatever organization they're working for." I think this is overwhelm

You had me up until the "very little regulation and no legal recourse" part at the end. Theft is theft and believe me, there are regulations against that.

"I would hope that I would face due process" That's the entire issue with this. If Assange was getting his due process, the interview would have taken place via video conference as has been enshrined in Swedish judicial practice via this

"What more can they say that will change what people will think; sure they can clarify details and what led up to events (what they would do as a witness at trial) but none of that really matters to the public. Their "side of the story" is:

"The claims they made are their side of the story, what more is there that they could say?" Then what's the point of having them witness in a trial? They've already gave "their side of the story" right? Wrong.

"By all accounts the guy is a scumbag" This is so ridiculously absurd and easily rebutted by there just being one account of him not being a "scumbag" that I wonder why you would even bother typing such a transparent ad hominem in the fir

"You'll find that these facts are now irrelevant because they are temporarily sheltering Assange!" I find these facts irrelevant (to the issue at hand) because these facts are irrelevant. There isn't a country under the sun that hasn't don

"and how he's depriving the women accusing him of seeing due process" By definition, only the arbiters of the legal system itself, i.e., the government can deprive someone of due process. The fact that Sweden and the UK are making a sincer

That "terrible track pointy thing" keeps your fingers on the home row. It might not be for you but I for one like not having to constantly move from keyboard to trackpad while using my computer.

Esc works perfectly on Hacker's Keyboard which is just a download away on the Android market.

How many different ways do you need to be told what to use to develop Android apps on Android? AIDE and TerminalIDE can be used to develop Android apps from start to finish including signing and the whole ball of wax. You can even open up

I have an Android device so can you point me to a single non-trivial HTML5 app in Google Play that is comparable in performance and functionality to a typical well implemented native app?

Another option for Valve to explore would be to check the current state of the DX games in Wine and work with interested publishers on improved compatibility. Then throw money and developers at Wine. When they're happy, wrap it up in the

There was a bug in Unity that caused it to consume an inordinate amount of cpu resources. They squashed it a while back.

The best experience for me is the other way around. Linux does 99 percent of everything I want and lives on the bare metal and if I need some random Windows app I just thaw out one of my VMs until I'm done with it then it goes back into th

How are they supposed to do it at the factory if it's some user downloaded app causing the problem?
