I think I found where all the LP flock reside: On SLASHDOT. The mere concoction that Obama is a jerk and criminal or that the Dems and GOP are the same or virtually the same tells me this sophist parlor of misfit toys will forver find solace amidst their idiot buddies who fight over IT domination between Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, etc. Grow up children.
Ok, honestly, I wish people could try to be a little less partisan. Both men were good men and would try to serve this country. Sure they both have selfish motivations for some of the things they do but, seriously, who the hell wouldn't in that position???.
Let's all agree that, though Obama may do things differently than you personally think he should, he's going to lead America as best he can.
I'm generally conservative/libertarian in my politics and most of my friends align in that direction?. I infrequently use Facebook and when I looked this morning I was disgusted with the ridiculous epithets and flat out doucheiness of a LOT of people who call themselves "Christians" or at least moral people.
Obama is a good man. I would lead a bit differently than I but he's NOT a "Baby Killer", the "Antichrist", the "Nigger in the White House", or any other hateful and decidedly unchristian thing so many morally ugly people are saying about him.
He's your president. He's your supreme leader. He's under tremendous pressure and stress to serve America and her interests. Speak of him that way or shut the hell up.
I agree with your sentiment but I must observe you must have very few friends. Come back in twenty years when you cling to Libertarianism solely.
Why don't games just spawn a separate X11 window server instance with a different resolution on a separate VC? Adding proper resource sharing between X11 instances seems like it would be a lot easier to do than rearchitecting all the existing apps to do the right thing during a temporary resolution change.
And there's no benefit to a full-screen app running in the same X11 instance as any other app other than making it possible to transition a window from being a normal window to a full screen window and back, and with a resolution change, that won't work very well anyway, which makes even that argument mostly moot.
Why the hell should the user suffer with resource expansion taken up by X because the damn paradigm is a big pile of hurt that goes back to the early days? I remember all the arrogance of X windows during NeXT's days and decisions with Display Postscript. It's rather clear the NeXT design has always been superior and OS X benefits from it.
Too many comments forget Kwin. Which kind of shows nobody really uses KDE4, apparently, because it's a killer feature nobody knows about: It doesn't require GL and can enable and disable it on the fly without losing anything you are doing at the time. Even with automated rules!
KWin's Martin is making KWin leverage OpenGL ES 2.0 out of the box.
The result of this and other adjustments were that instead of gaining one additional backend for EGL we also got a new OpenGL 2/GLX backend and it turned into the default and OpenGL 1 into the legacy backend.
Now fast forward two years. In the meantime quite a lot has happened which I could not foresee when I started the OpenGL ES efforts. One happening is QtQuick 2 which will be used with Qt 5. KWin is already a heavy user of QtQuick 1 and of course we want to use QtQuick 2. But this will bring in a runtime dependency for OpenGL 2. So no matter whether we actually support OpenGL 1 or not, once we are using Qt 5, we will need OpenGL 2. This puts an end-of-life warning to our OpenGL 1 based legacy compositor.
...The change also nicely grouped all the OpenGL 1 code into one area which will be easier to remove once we decide that the End of Life is reached. Removing code is not as easy as one might expect and that is actually quite a project. To go to that direction I plan to introduce a new build option to build KWin without OpenGL 1 support, which is basically the same as the build option for OpenGL ES, but the existing build option could be used for actual differences between OpenGL 2 and OpenGL ES 2.0. And of course EGL needs to be uncoupled from the OpenGL ES build option – it is totally valid to compile the EGL backend for OpenGL.
To put it bluntly, KDE will be OpenGL ES 2.0 and up moving forward.
So, a few years ago the high-end processors from Intel cost $1000 a pop. Today, the high-end chips like the 3770 cost roughly $300... and that's probably their fastest consumer chip, except maybe last generation's hexacore sandy bridges... This seems like a pretty big improvement in price to me. Intel's pricing is better than it has been for many years. I certainly can't ever remember a time before the i-series era where Intel's fastest chips were selling for $300!
Intel's high end Xeon processors which you cite still cost over $1000.
The AMD Opteron 6174 Magny-Cours 2.2GHz 12 x 512KB L2 Cache 12MB L3 Cache Socket G34 115W 12-Core Server Processor OS6174WKTCEGOWOF cost $1,239.99 each.
Let us revisit this discussion of AMD and their premature demise. The pricing on Piledriver alone will make big news, not to mention all the past negative press has been silenced to date.
The APUs continue to evolve rapidly and nothing Intel can to match that will happen in the next 24-36 months, if ever.
And not a single example of those classes are worth a shit in an Engineering Curiculum because any ass hat with a semi-decent attention span realizes that your first year in High School isn't Math, Chem, Physics, Biology, Woodworking, Mechanics and Computers. In fact, no high school in America Teaches a Math Class, but you know that. They teach a specific discipline of Math, predominantly Algebra or Geometry, depending on how well you did in Junior High. And that was in the '80s when we were already lax on standards.
In Junior High School, I took Woodshop and Plastics but it wasn't building a Cabinet, a small skiff or a fucking row boat. It was building a small CO2 based balsa wood race car connected to a string and we raced them off, to making a little keepsake box, to a router that made a sign. Big fucking deal. Plastics was about using adhesives to bind multiple layers together and then using a belt sander and other buffering tool that make useless plastic art, but I still learned something as an adult I can extrapolate more on.
High School was Metal Shop for a fuck off class learning a spot welder and the oxy-acetylene torch but never an ARC Welder or a Metal Lathe or anthing necessary to make something other than a stupid tool box. But I still learned more than before I took the class and when I did take Manufacturing Engineering I remembered it all, especially how similiar and different Lathes are for differing materials.
Wood shop in High School was better than Junior High but still we had several numbnuts nearly cut their hand in two with a band saw, or catch their clothes on a table saw. No one handled a skill saw like you do building a home or other self inflicting tools that on a construction site is routinely expected. How come? Because kids are too stupid to realize the mortality of the situation and pay attention.
High School Physics is dumber than College Physics for Non-Science majors. Biology and Chemistry as well are not much more challenging. But if I didn't have that exposure going into my university days, I would have been in a deeper hole while studying to get into the Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science Department at WSU and any other Pac 12 university. This asshat's dad should shut his mouth and demand the school up the ante for requirements, not lower them.
We didn't get credit for showing up. Today's kids get 50% of their grade by putting their butt in a chair. They deserve 0%. Shakespeare develops the mind and language skills clearly this country continues to devolve away from by the simpleton minds thinking Mr. Stick Up his ass Romney has a brain other than to legally fuck the masses over.
I would have flunked your ass and kicked you out of school for whining you were fucking bored. STFU, sit up and listen up. The Internet sure has made a lot of losers money by writing HTML but it sure as fuck does nothing for advancing a nation, never mind Mankind with such skills a 10 year can do just as well.
Life is what you make it. Opportunity to see how courses evolve ones ability to problem solve, articulate their observations and how to influence their peers all comes from a diverse education, not some cookie cutter solution that a kid decides what he wants to learn, or what to eat. America needs to offer a more diverse and longer year of education, an investment that made this nation great. Instead, we've got parents who should not be parents and who whine that Tommy is bored.
P.S. Don't procreate. We already have too many idiots with kids who don't push them to think and learn for the simple sake of learning.
Reality sucks some times. The Roman Catholic Church leveraged the Roman Empire for its bidding, along with the Spanish, Portuguese and British Empires, yet you're shocked it did the same with Hitler? Grow up. All Abrahamic Religions have fought to repress counter culture and I include all branches of Christianity, Islam and Judaism. They cling to fairy tales that are nothing but bastardized versions of much older pagan religions--all of which were far more interesting and balanced towards the feminine divine.
Learn basic Inorganic Chemistry and stop listening to bio majors, or better yet the idiot tech spreading fud at the MRI system who charges too damn much for the service and the hospital rationalizes as ``still having to pay for this investment,''....
I always thought that putting a radio-telescope on the back side of the moon would be a good idea since the moon would block all the electromagnetic noise from Earth. Two could be installed, one just over the curve near the north pole and one near the south pole. This would give a baseline of appropriately the diameter of the moon. It would be one, big ear.
Agreed. Then again, you've clearly not taken the advice of all the pseduo-Einsteins and pseudo-Tesla engineers on this site for they know what's best.
No one expects the pioneering research to provide a perfect record. Yet, one would expect after you get to stand on the shoulders of giants your record shouldn't start out with a record of failures, but then again those expecting perfecting in Engineering and Science don't understand either one.
What I don't like is the fact that space is becoming increasingly privatised.
Well, why shouldn't it be? Most endeavors in the US are handled privately.
Then Musk came along and said, "Hey, I've got rich from founding the world's worst consumer bank, how about I give you the first few hits for free?" and hired a few experienced people.
Libertarians rode the back of this and shouted about how much better it would be to privatise space. But in fact we're just right (*) here again, with SpaceX substituted for Boeing.
And a considerably cheaper launch vehicle compared to the Delta IV (which Boeing put in the United Launch Alliance rather than continue to fly it themselves). I can't argue with results.
The reason it is `considerably cheaper' is simply due to the fact Boeing couldn't milk the teet any longer while stretching the time line out.
The speculated size is 7.85". Which puts it somewhere in-between. Microsoft's biggest tablet problem is that they haven't learned the HP TouchPad lesson... the only way to compete with Apple today is to massively undercut them on price. Microsoft hasn't even announced official Surface prices yet, but the early rumors suggested they might actually cost more than a full-size iPad.
It is impossible to undercut Apple on price as Apple [thankfully] will secure the bulk components 6-12 months in advance barring Microsoft from doing so, not to mention Microsoft can't actually afford to play loss leader with Apple. They will just accelerate their own bankruptcy.
I have charter at the 30/3 increment. it costs just under $50/month.
If I wasn't bundled for another 14 months I think I could get by with a slower speed, as long as I can stream some Netflix, and play a bit of CoD, or Battlefield 3 I would be happy.
10MB would probably be enough for me.
Good for you. I'm paying more than $50/month for 6 down/896 up. I'll gladly swap, if it weren't for that effin' local monopoly Reagan that parasite of ignorance upheld by giving regional telcos regional monopolies. Instead of requiring Ma Bell to be top of the line he deregulated us into a shit sewer of performance issues and we've all be subsidizing those hacks ever since. I'll pay for Verizon FIOS but it's never going to be available in the same area as CenturyLink who took over for Qwest without Verizon buying out CenturyLink. What an effin' joke. So much for Cons-ervatives and their fraudulent Free Enterprise, when it is nothing but Conglomerates [Oligopolies] and Monopolies. Jack the minimum broadband speeds standard and kick out the non-compliers and the consumer wins. Can't do that because that 'dem 'deres Socialism for Cons-ervatards.
If the FDA would allow the research from Ethnobotanists who made the world of Big Pharma possible by their research and categorization of hundreds of thousands of medicinal plants to be used as open products equivalent to the prescription drug derivatives that are patented by duplicating the active agents in these plants [minus the organic compounds within these plants that keep side-effects from happening] and recognize them as equivalents you'd see Big Pharma's strangle hold over Health Care crumble.
I'm not talking about the many medicinals like Echinacea or Ginseng, or St. John's Wart. I'm talking about the opiate based equivalents that would produce less addiction and better pain medicinal results for many forms of internal medicine and post surgical pain management. Not a single product produced by a Pharmaceutical Corporation with exceptions like LSD exist without first duplicating the effects provided by Mother Nature. South America's Rain Forrests have provided the globe with all its innovations, not to downplay the rest of the continents and all their ethnobotanical discoveries.
The history of our own US raping South America for large corporations from rubber, oil and pharmaceuticals continues today. Instead of creating joint import/export crops relations the US listens too much to it's Big Pharma lobby and we all suffer for it.
Yeah, how would it go over if a Korean court awarded Samsung $1 billion to make up for the case against Apple in California?
And the US Military could pull all resources out of South Korea, wash it's hands with diplomatic relations and North Korea could waltz in while Samsung shats itself all over its IP assets. When a US Company attempts to subvert US Law, even in a foreign nation, it runs the risk of being shut down. Get it?
They're not doing an end run around the court. If, according to German law, Motorola is in the right, then they have the right to enjoin (in Germany).
Many companies have to do a lot of things in foreign jurisdictions because of European (or other) laws. It's out of line for a US court to say that they can't do so because a case in a US court.
I don't give a flyin' fuck if it is in Germany. The US Corporation is under US Laws, and the accompany local laws, but never do those foreign laws supersede US Federal Laws when it concerns a US Corporation. What do you not get? Contract Law is not Patent Law and Motorola Mobility [Google] is fucking wrong.

Kwin can work without OpenGL and it's damn snappy. Not everything is gnome.
Remind yourself when XRender is killed off along with OpenGL 1.x support, especially when they move to Wayland.
Too many comments forget Kwin. Which kind of shows nobody really uses KDE4, apparently, because it's a killer feature nobody knows about: It doesn't require GL and can enable and disable it on the fly without losing anything you are doing at the time. Even with automated rules!

Two reasons Apple doesn't give a shit about Intel for their embedded products.
A moment later they will explain how those evil oil and insurance companies make too much money (both single digit margins!)
Last time I checked the stamping out of ICs doesn't shit the bed like Petroleum.

Yes. A high-end i7 costs less than my Pentium-4 did last time I built a Windows PC.
