Seems pretty bad for ULA, which is Boeing and Lockheed Martin, but they claim they have enough rocket boosters to fulfill the next two years of their launch commitments. They have contractual obligations further out than that, but SpaceX is

She was right and wrong. The hardware was definitely better (and they beat the Kindle to market with major features, like touch screens and LED front-lighting, and they even kept hardware page-turning buttons when Amazon abandoned them). I

> Physical objects don't have a source, either open or close. Wrong. The schematics for the motherboard and any other boards (like the LCD connector board) can be open or closed. Also, the CAD files for printing the case components

Awesome! Thanks for the link :)

Would be really nice if the demo was in a normal web page instead of a video. (Also, I'd love to know what vim(?) extension provides the interactive completion with the function signatures! That looks really cool.)

Default register initialization values and functions to encode/decode and transmit/receive packets of data do not equal an operating system in my book. Maybe you draw the line at a different level of the stack than I do. I'm

The GPU, bluetooth, wifi, and GPS chips are not running their own operating system kernels . They have firmware microcode that gets loaded when their drivers are loaded, but they aren't running a completely separate dedicated realtime

This is bullshit. In my whole experience as a full stack developer, after having tried various technologies and languages and frameworks - including ones built with Perl, PHP, ColdFusion, and WebObjects, I can this say with full confidence

You're forgetting perhaps the most powerful ethos of ajax: If the code can be deleted, nuke it.

They are effectively stopping people from running personal ejabberd servers. What the hell is the point of running your own jabber server if your users can't talk to users on the largest jabber network on the planet?

If you haven't read Neal Stephenson's Anathem, you should. (That idea is called Saunt Lora's Proposition -- all possible ideas have already been found -- in the book. Good stuff.)

Not to mention that (at least compared to the previous release of HighCharts) D3's performance is just so much better. Graphing tens of thousands of data points causes my browser to freeze up for 10+ seconds at a time with HighCharts, while

I wonder what kinds of safeguards they have in place to prevent people with the same name from claiming each other's things.

> Half of the then-absurd snide "promises" he listed as others making have pretty much come true: HDTV pixel counts on a pocket device, LTE data rate 10x faster than T1, etc. Shame we still don't have microsecond latencies, though.

That's true, but also irrelevant. GNOME Shell isn't an app, it's part of the infrastructure. Rhythmbox? C. Evolution? C. (Geary? Vala.) Shotwell? Vala. LibreOffice? C++. gnome-terminal? C. There are no GNOME apps written in JavaScript yet

> its the most popular desktop app dev language period - by sheer numbers. By what numbers? Number of projects using the language? Number of lines of code in the wild in that language? Number of users using apps written in the language?

Where's the article about how you're leaving PHP for statically-generated content? ;)

I wish I could get the X230 without a trackpad at all. I leave mine disabled in the BIOS.

I'm typing this reply on an X230 right now. There were some really annoying issues with Fedora 17 and Ubuntu 12.04; the iwlwifi driver would lock up and bring the machine down with it randomly under Fedora, and the Linux 3.2 kernel from Ubu

I actually used to work at OpenFeint (and was there through the GREE acquisition). This is a sad day for me.

The whole POINT of OpenFeint was basically: Hey, indie game developers! We know that building and running a game server is really hard and expensive. Why don't you let us run the servers for you, and you just use our (fairly simple and easy
