    Developers shouldn't have a problem editing about:config to put the browser in flash-debug mode.

    Implying that being a developer means you know every single option in about:config. Sure, once the setting is pointed out then yes it shouldn't be a problem to edit it. The issue is that it's almost impossible to know all the options and what they do within about:config.

    So instead of having a simple dialog box one has to wade through the about:config for an obscure setting? Really?

    And yet if Activision were to have made the exact same game as what these fans are making you would be whining about how they were just milking the franchise.

    So why is it that it's bad that EA or Activision makes constant sequels and remakes to games but then everyone has these orgasms over fan-made games that are just remaking and rehashing old games?

    As opposed to what may happen on the Macs, where they convert OSX to IOS, and the ONLY way to get an app is to buy it off the App store.

    You mean except for the fact that they have absolutely no plans to do so and when Steve Jobs was queried about an app store for the Mac he said no? Yes, except for no evidence that they will do this and the CEO saying the won't, it certainly may happen.

    Reading comprehension ftw!

    The FCC has proposed that 280 megahertz of spectrum come from broadcasters and other sources, 120 of which would come from broadcasters. The other 220 megahertz would come from the federal government’s holdings managed by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration."

    They are saying that to make up the 500mhz of specturm that 280mhz of it will come from broadcasters and other sources and 220mhz will come from the government. Now of the previous 280mhz block, 120mhz of that will come from broadcasters.

  13. Re:is this a software problem? on iOS Update May Tackle iPhone 4's Antenna Problems · · Score: 3, Informative

    Except that iOS 4 has caused similar issues with the 3GS models.

    The fix is expected to address a issue in iOS 4 related to radio frequency calibration of the baseband. Readers who saw the original forum discussions say that the issue is believed to occur when switching frequencies; because the lag is allegedly not calibrated correctly, it results in the device reporting "no service" rather than switching to the frequency with the best signal to noise ratio.

    iOS 4 introduced some enhancements to how the baseband selects which frequencies to use, so it makes sense that the error may have crept into those changes. Additionally, this explains why iOS 4 has also caused similar problems for iPhone 3GS users.

    I can actually predict what the machine is going to do when I write a line of code!

    Doubtful. With all sorts of branch prediction and pipelining going on in a modern CPU it is extremely hard to know what the cpu is really going to do at any moment. This is why when Intel, for example, publishes latency and throughput of assembly instructions that the numbers they provide actually just rough approximations.
