I love their hardware, but their drivers suck. I just switched back to Nouveau so I could have a decent framebuffer. Gripes about systemd sucking aside, and the fact that Plymouth just doesn't work for my setup, I'd really like it if nVidia would just start supporting Nouveau full on - if they have to make certain precautions, they could treat bits they provide as firmwares or something to prevent whatever they see as intellectual property from getting "stolen."
Furthermore, why VMWare works with the Gallium3D project, yet doesn't support 3D acceleration under the nouveau drivers on a host is beyond me, but really stupid. I'll be buying ATI next time.
Apparently, non-coders (aka mostly stupid people) shouldn't write code. Though, in truth, learning to code is something that about anyone should be able to do.
CNN and Fox News, etc will be all over this one - lots of nice, juicy (sometimes out of context) quotes and clips to use in their attacks toward the opponents of their biases...
I meant South Korea...
LoL - I don't support the guys up North. It was a (crappy but rare) VHS set of a live action Dragonball adaptation someone up there made...It's public domain, but so rare in the English world. I capped it and uploaded it to AsianDVDClub, and then it's since been released on Youtube and elsewhere.
I've ordered a LOT of stuff from Amazon, and never got screwed. eBay, I never got the product once (was from Asia, but was lied to about it being in New Jersey). That was $75 down the drain, and eBay and PayPal didn't to crap to recover it.
I've also ordered once from Alibaba (actually, I think I used Aliexpress, the "consumer" version), and things turned out well. I've moved on to other tablets since, but my mom likes the old one I got direct from shenzen...
Otherwise, I recently had to buy a new logic board for my HP Touchpad and ended up finding they were only available from Taobao...I used some proxy shipping service called Taobao Ring... The shipping proved to be a little high because I got the fastest option, but $20 for the item and fee plus $20 EMS shipping got it straight out to me.
Basically, I'm saying eBay has more scammers than anywhere else. Alibaba tends to be more industrial, so those folks don't want to lose their respect...Taobao, I think (don't understand Mandarin) is the Chinese equivalent of eBay.
On top of these antics, I've even ordered stuff via proxy from North Korea...
Cleverbot isn't AI as it's claimed, and I think it's interesting how they try and pass it off as such. Maybe there's a bit of AI there, but from what I've seen it just connects two random users and then reshuffles every so often so you're getting responses from some other real person than the one before...
This will need the AOKP/Cyanogenmod treatment, but otherwise it seems like a decent tab for hacking and general use...I mean, there are cheaper/easier alternatives, but these things will get really CHEAP after Christmas.
Not for lack of desiring to go elsewhere, but I'm too lazy. I don't use their overpriced hosting and DNS. Instead, I use dreamhost for that stuff, and some AWS servers for the bigger sites...
Godaddy isn't awful if you get coupon codes and don't do anything to draw undue attention to your domains. I have one that gets me 30-60% or something off on my renewals and new purchases.
While not officially supported, many phones have working, mostly working, or partially working builds of ICS and JB. I was on a Droid2 before I decided to get a Galaxy Nexus for the fact it has an unlocked bootloader, even over the SIII, but the Droid2 ran ICS like a top, though some hardware acceleration issues existed. The ICS build by some user on RootzWiki was still far better, smoother, faster, and had better battery life than the GB build that came on it by motorola.
See XDA and RootzWiki with your GB phones, and see about getting a better build on there...of course, I roll my own anymore, and run JB on my Gnex, even though it's not been released yet officially for my phone (vzw).
Not trolling, but never have I seen such a horrible distro, short of CentOS (by far the worst ever). Between the dependency hell every dist-upgrade, and the drama every time anything changes, I am surprised more people don't jump ship for vanilla Debian at the least, or move up in terms of distros and go for Archlinux or Gentoo...
Not only do Arch and Gentoo provide much more vanilla experiences, but they are more "rolling release" than set milestones, so upgrading is a lot less of a pain the majority of the time. Debian, of course, is rock solid though, and I don't see why anyone would take Ubuntu server over Debian Stable..it makes no sense.
We just need to get some of those "eWhore" bots together and use them in coordinated ddos and spam campaigns. Since most foreign people as well as Americans can't resist the urge of nice boobies or wood, all computers would be rendered useless within a few hours of having adware and spyware porn viewers installed.
This is just an effort to get the greenies to reelect the big O. It's also an unconstitutional mandate of private individuals in what they can purchase, and businesses in what they can produce.
We're nothing but peasants and serfs, here to serve the government, who apparently can take care of us better than we can ourselves.
Where is the "find drivers" button? Or right its called "Google your damned ass off" and you had BETTER know the exact make/rev/model of driver you need and pray to a statue of RMS someone has one. Even if they DO have one you better have enough skillz to be able to tweak that sucker, because it'll no doubt be written for make f, rev g, firmware h and you'll have make F, rev I, firmware j and the picky bastard just won't work.
It's not 1997 anymore...the kernel has 99% of the drivers you'll need, unless you need a proprietary one or something that's up for inclusion in the kernel that hasn't made it into the stable version yet.
They installed Ubunturd. They didn't run any other distros. So it required some tweaks to boot the kernel? Ok. Either way, the article's own comment thread has mentions that Archlinux runs perfectly fine, albeit without some of the graphics stuff.
This is just FUD by the Windows and Mac crowd. Move along.
...and SOE killed Star Wars Galaxies....don't get me started...although, for Pre-CU fans, there's SWGEmu, and for final publish fans (NGE), there's ProjectSWG...
...unless you're in on this sort of thing early, you usually can't really profit much from it. You can profit, and waste time, but it's better to find the next frontier rather than jumping on the bandwagon.
I know some guys who do this sort of thing and they always end up using a combination of outsourced labor and automated posters, and it's really not that hard to do. XRumer usually does a decent job at this sort of thing, amongst others. The thing is, they were in on it early, before twitter even became a thing in the mainstream.
Really, though, aside from just selling followers to people and generating a bit of ad revenue or whatever, this is probably less profitable than splogging and having cloaking pages take non-spider visitors to your sales pages... From there you just spam links...though Penguin made that a bit more difficult. Either way, this type of marketing suffers diminishing returns faster than anything I've ever worked with, otherwise, I'd be spamming twitter right now.

If cheap enough, I could see this little fella being used as a successor to the doomba..
Are you suggesting a Cleavland Steamer?

Otherwise it'll be a big privacy hole - it'd be easy for jackbooted thugs to see what you were up to, just by pulling your DIMMs.
Debian LTS is better - Ubuntu is all cruft.
