Google will not release their own phone. Here's why:
Google likes to dominate the software spectrum. If they release their own phone, then companies will look a bit suspicious at their "you can use our OS too!, fro free!"
In the end that will result in less Android phones and thus less people that use Google products and less people to click on their adds, which is their main source of imcome anyway.
The best Android phone I've seen so far is the HTC Hero. It whipes the floor with the iPhone in every aspect. Except for the fact that it doesn't help Microsoft with growing the Exchange user base...
And he's right. Microsoft sets the standard because they have the largest platform (Windows) and they not only get to decide what the spec is, they will also release it after they released the latest Windows version.
To top that; Microsoft gets to decide if they even should release the latest specs...
*think... think.... think...*
We also have better cross platform tools already with Qt4.x... And for everything that's not native code we have webbrowsers...
*think... think... think...*
RMS is 100% correct about dumping this redundant piece of locking shittery.
Blue Destiny Records: Hey Rapidshare. We saw that somebody uploaded a few songs without our permission. We have copyright on them. Could you maybe remove them for us please? If you could do that than we would be very grateful for that. Rapidshare: Hey what a kind email. I suppose we could notify the uploader and take it down.
But this happened instead:
Blue Destiny Records: Hey you fothermuckers! You got our copyrighted material on your website! Take it the fsck down or we will sue you! Rapidshare: Pardon? Fsck off! There is no DMCA in my country, assholes! Blue Destiny Records: Fsckers! We will cut of their earnings! We will sue Goole and Microsoft instead because I need an extra house with a pool on a remote island! My neighbours have that too, so we got to have it!
Option 1: Start to collectively deliver crap code, or code at a very slow pace. The manager will ask what's wrong. You: "Sorry, but I simply can't concentrate without listening to music.
Option 2: Obey his will, go crazy, burn the building.
The DRM module we're talking about is the Direct Rendering Manager. That means bypassing userspace layers and directly talking to the kernel which then talks to the graphics card. You could run hardware accelerated graphics on Linux for ages and ages and ages ago. What stone have you been living under?
I was playing Quake 3 since the Pentium3 days, with hardware OpenGL acceleration on Linux.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Shit wat was that?! Command, I've got a problem here. Some cowboy clipped me on the way in and thrusters just say 50% and dropping...
I have no flight contro-.........oooooooooo-ooooooooooo-........OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!
I wasn't asking for a citation (see my signature;) ), I was asking for links to Dutch news sites that bring real news. Or do you mean the newspapers that happen to have websites too?
"Also, sometimes, just sometimes, the guy you didn't vote for has a good idea." His roadmap may also be a geat one, but if I vote for a party and a person in a political party, then I vote them for what's about to come and not for the problems that may be fixed today. You need to vote on something that you trust will make good decisions to tackle problems that are about to come.
Ofcourse, looking at the past isn't gong to hurt and looking at the political roadmap isn't going to hurt either. I take these three things into account before I vote.
For example: If I would live in the US then I would vote for Obama. He decides to look at issues from a common sense approach and his decisions tackle the problems I think are important and his choosing reflects what I think is important. He is also part of a party that aims to take care of the (financially) weaker citizens and places a burden on the rich, not because I hate people that have a lot of money, but becaue they can miss a few bucks and still live a very good life. When I look at the past I see Bush making desicions that do not reflect what I think is right. When I look at Obama, I can conclude that I don't know anything about him, but then again I didn't look into him because I can't vote of the US president. But I do think the chance of Obama making a good desicion is higher than Sara Palin and McCain.
Ofcourse Obama does make mistakes. Every president does. Nobody is perfect...
OK I didn't understood your point. Sorry about that.
But what you are saying is throwing away ideology?
I don't know if I can do that. How can I make a choice if I have no axiom that drives me to choose something? How can I then make up my own mind?
You're saying that we should just choose what works. What does that do to my personality then? Or should it only be limited to content and not emotions?
If you can't choose between what's wrong and what's right then there will never be discussions, there won't be advancement. There will only be the gray, the mindless, the emotionless, the computer. Everything will just be and nothing will ever get removed.
Imagine a world like this. We might as well embrace the idea of a global government.
Except for one tiny problem: laser jets are as harmfull to ones health as somebody who lites a sigarette in your room. I don't know what it's called... fine dust?
"I'm tired of the Linux kernel; it's really not that great." Linux has always been more or less the entire FLOSS pool. Nothing in it is meant for one goal. You get all these different goals. Yes it's far from elegant in that respect.
But... It's an ecosystem where people throw in stuff. It's like evolution. You start with crap. Make countless modifications. The distro's then choose what's important. Everything that sucks dies. Everything is better than the version before sticks.
Linux was a bunch of crap realy, but it is now starting to realy mature.
GNU/Linux in itself isn't great but the entire process is.
It takes a while to go from just one fish in the ocean to a human form (go ahead, make jokes), and then even beyond.
Linux can run on so much different HW, just because it has no clear goal. No goal... it's a bunch of junk you say? Well it runs great...
Ok let me explain why ray tracing is dead stupid on a GPU: Texture overlay, mega texture/virtual texture is the future. This is streamed from the HDD in realtime while the overal texture set is in RAM. Now what happens with every bounce is that a ray moves across a LOT of textures, even outside of the camera's view, right? So for each bounce one you need to acces the HDD.
Do the math: 1650x1050 rays times 8 bounces. That is, for each frame, 1,386e7 times hitting the HDD.
GPGPU work is only usefull if you can send one large amount of data back and forth from the CPU to the GPU and in that timeframe it should have calculated more than the CPU could do in that timeframe. Fluid animation can be easily done on the GPU. 1,386e7 times hitting the HDD is fscking stupid. Imagine the latency!

Try to register a name like Vincent on a website with more than a million users...
Maybe I should have chosen BasementLaserLord instead?
OH MY GOD?!?!?!?111111 one one eleven. REALY? OmFg I d1Dn't not1c3 teH S0uRceS! OMG WTF BBQ!!!!
Now do the world a favor and get yourself a screwdriver and remove that Caps Lock key from your keyboard...
Oh and have you ever visited Digg.com? You'd make a valuable contributor.

You're taking this way to heavy...

Can you give me a bunch of links please? I do hope that you don't mean GeenStijl.nl... That sucks even more.
Nah... just do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfCYzJAgwrw
I swear to God... One day I am going to kick this POS out of the window!
Looks like somebody has a case of the mondays...
Except for one tiny problem: laser jets are as harmfull to ones health as somebody who lites a sigarette in your room. I don't know what it's called... fine dust?
Microsoft can say whatever it wants, but in the end Microsoft sells boxed discs and the money that a customer pays goes to a store.
Do I? Maybe a citation is needed in order to back up your claim... Oh wait...
It's just one example of FUD. Do I need to link to the SCO Vs. Novell legal docs or can't you google that either?

Game loop: game mechanics + rendering
CPU: rendering
GPU: game mechanics
What else do you want? A CPU doing fluid animation and the GPU doing the rendering with massive latency? Are you out of your mind?
