Getting HW documentation under NDA used to be a rather common thing for Linux driver developers and it's still not unusual. The NDA will say something to the effect of "You can't spread this doc, but feel free to build an OSS driver and talk about how it works".
When you need to stream media with a file size between 3 and 25GiB per hour Wifi often strugles to keep up with the bitrate. We have not quite arrived in the glorious wire-less future yet.
Yea. I know people that can't play Decent on a normal monitor without getting sick, so I wouldn't play that on a HMS if I had any tendency of getting pukey ever.
That's the problem with 60Hz. 1 frame => 16-30ms. Enough for your brain to detect the difference in movement between you eyes the the inner ear. People that can get pukey will not have a good time.
As you say they function as sales offices for loans and such. Where "and such" include brokering sales of houses in several banks. But real offices are in decline; Many small branch offices are closing down.
There are also office-less banks who are only available via phone and web.
Remote thefts perhaps, phishing is as common as anywhere else, but not remote robberies. And if someone is going to steal from me I prefer the method that does not involve violence.
I would accept 150+ ms if the ISP was on the other side of the Atlantic. Anything above 30ms to nearest Internet exchange center I'd report as an error to the ISP.
"draconian" restrictions are there because someone in IT/management is lazy or has twisted viewes about what moral powers they should have over students. In other words because they are bastards.
In the case of OBML that is not possible. Opera Mini in it's core is a ~50KiB application. You could barely build an HTML1 parser/render with that, forget about HTML5. Opera Turbo on the other hand is mounted in fully featured browsers, so it will refuse to proxy SSL connections.
You are thinking of Opera Mini. Opera has the (disabled by default) acceleration feature "Opera Turbo" built in to Opera Desktop and Opera Mobile that works pretty much exactly like Amazons Silk.
The Nobel Peace Prize was always a political one. How could it not be? Since we are talking current politics the latest recipients will always cause more butt-hurt than people can remember the previous ones generating.
The prizes handed out in Sweden have the recipients chosen by scholars in the same field. There will be politics, but at least most people agree that the recipient has done something worthy of prize even if they wish their favorite had won.
The Peace Price is the only one Norway are charged with handing out, and the commission charged with selecting the receiver is set up by the politicians in charge on national level. And I can't see that there is an obviously better method. Presumably politicians are the ones dealing in the peace-trade.
I bet you would. But those were probably about some badly supported chipset, not trying to run packages from the default Ubuntu repository on an unmodified Ubuntu.
Because that's what happened. We went from "If the hardware is supported it works" to "It might work, and oh look! You can change volume individually on the apps without app-support!".

X-Plane does aerodynamic simulations on that no other civilian solution can touch.
Minecraft/Mojang is being sued for the exact same thing, So he should have a talk with Notch.
In your country perhaps. In Sweden the photo must be matched up to the person driving.
It was the first console with a controller not made for small children's hands, and that combined with excellent games made it a great console.
(Obvious troll, but since I don't have mod points right now...)

If I had any mod points right now I'd mod you up for your retro Minix optimism.

60 FPS isn't enough. Less than 80 degree FoV isn't enough.
Also, 60 FPS on Xbox? You'll have to pick very specific games to get constant 60 FPS.
Agreed, Best article this year.
Me neither.

Sure. Direct account transfers are free and something you do via the web. We regularly use it to pay back small loans for pizza and similar.

They would be correct, so I'd believe it.
I bet you would. But those were probably about some badly supported chipset, not trying to run packages from the default Ubuntu repository on an unmodified Ubuntu.

Oh no, sound was working for a couple of years. ALSA had stabilized. Then came PulseAudio.
That would then make Opera Software (to take an example in the same domain) a charity using the same test.
I hear Wikimedia takes patches.
