  1. Re:Meh on Adobe Releases Flash To HTML 5 Converter · · Score: 1

    It isn't about actionscript anyway. From TFA:

    ActionScript 1,2 -- Status: Unsupported
    ActionScript 3 -- Status: Unsupported

    Seems pretty useless to me..

    Google: couldn't find a coverage of de-mail on /. before

    Living in Germany I've heard about it several times before.

    > Note that I ripped an equal amount of commit messages per language

    How about to normalize the numbers not per commit but per word? Maybe c++ programmers just happen to write a detailed commit message while php progammers tend to write "bugfix" without anything else.

  4. Re:I switched back to Firefox from Chrome. on Chrome Is the Third Double-Digit Browser · · Score: 1

    Thats good to hear. I ran into problems where two images displaying similar things, on in png and one as jpg looked really different but only in firefox. I'm still curious: On which things is firefox better with color management than chrome?

  5. Re:I switched back to Firefox from Chrome. on Chrome Is the Third Double-Digit Browser · · Score: 1

    Firefox has better color management.

    Last time I checked firefox ignored color profiles by default. Buy there is a flag somewhere in about:config. Chrome does interpret them by default. So in Chrome my images looked like it they were intended to - not so in firefox.

    PS I read it was default off in firefox because of performance reasons. Still Chrome works much faster then firefox for me.

  7. Re:What idealistic state? on LibreOffice 3.3 Released Today · · Score: 3, Informative

    I hope that this fork encourages the inclusion of Go-OO patches. In fact, it would be good if Go-OO and LibreOffice were merged .

    Actually Go-OO was discontinued in favor of libre-office which includes most of the patches already.

  8. Re:How many isp's do ip6? on Last Days For Central IPv4 Address Pool · · Score: 1

    Most home routers don't handle ip6 (apple is a notable exception here)

    I've never seen an apple router. But I know avm , one of the big home router producers here in germany does support IPv6. Sadly since my ISP does not I couldn't actually test it.

    ... but commercial usage is limited by patent licensing and royalties.

    Commercial users like ... google? My guess is that they fear heavy cost for royalties when h264 ends being free of charge for content providers (think youtube). So they are now pushing away from h264 to avoid the costs later.

  10. Re:What about keyword searches? on 'Reading Level' Filter Added To Google Search · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that would be sweet. Especially if it didn't filter out special characters commonly used in programming languages, like .:()[]{}

    ... or even regex, filtering by programming language, case sensitive search, filtering by filename, ... like google code search. Just use the right tool for the job.

    Provide a stable interface.

    Here NVIDIAs (you know, those who actually do the drivers) opinion on the topic:

    The lack of a stable API in the Linux kernel. This is not a large obstacle for us, though: the kernel interface layer of the NVIDIA kernel module is distributed as source code, and compiled at install time for the version and configuration of the kernel in use. This requires occasional maintenance to update for new kernel interface changes, but generally is not too much work.

    About the short number of changes: Its probably because most updates for ubuntu come from gnome and most of gnome devs are focusing on 3.0: refactoring, cleanup and not new feature.
