2010 was no doubt the year of the smartphone, but it feels like the market is bordering on saturation. There are just soooo many devices out there. Think about how many phones HTC alone released to market.
2011 is looking to be the year of the Tablet, we already knew about the 10" Galaxy Tab for a while, and Samsung also have a slider model (Wintel). Asus have 4 (Slider & Transformer 10", 12" Wintel & 7"), HTC are rumored to have 3 (one not using Honeycomb) in the pipeline, plus the Motorola Xoom & rumours of an iPad 2.
I personally like having keys, thats why I got the less powerful HTC Desire Z (T-Mobile G2) over the Desire HD despite prices offered were the same (outright, unlocked). I could see myself getting the eeePad Transformer despite this Galaxy Tab & Xoom look freaking awesome.
In Australia we would call that a 5GB plan. Doesnt happen so much on mobile data but on ADSL its very common that once the 'data limit' has been reached you will get throttled to 72k. Looks like Virgin is applying a similar principle to mobile data.
I would love to be Windows free but until Steam is ported to Linux (and my games collection on Steam, which will never happen) I will retain a Windows 'gamer' machine.
Mainframe "databases" can be funny beasts. I worked on an app that used one about 15 years ago, and the database was effectively flat files, index files and an engine on top to hang it all together and make it look like a RDBMS.
Sounds like SAP, not just on mainframe but how it uses Oracle on x86 hardware too.
Boobs maybe not, after all if your child is 4, it would have only been a few years (maybe 3.5 years) since he had direct access to them anyway.
However, Goatse, Tubgirl, 2 Girs 1 Cup and/b/ can traumatize adults let alone kids. Supervision is the best key. Leaving a 4 year old alone with direct internet access is not something I would consider wise
I agree with parent. The latter sentence is implying there hasn't been a carnivorous mammal discovered in 24 years at all and if that is not the case then it should specify "in Madagascar"
It gets worse, during the discovery process it was found that Viacom were uploading their works using sock accounts and then threatening YouTube with legal action saying they were put up there illegally. Is the balance he was talking about "balanced 100% in favor of media companies no matter what they do" view?
No, the Viacom vs YouTube ruling was fair, especially considering internal memos admitted that the "illegal uploading" was done by Viacom themselves.
I thought not even the RIAA could justify Viacom's side of this case.
Bit of a pickle, last time I checked OSX doesn't support ext4 while Linux doesn't support ZFS (except with FUSE which I dont reccomend in a produciton environment) which would be my 2 options for performance. I know UFS is in both so that could work but I am curious if OSX can support XFS.
If you could find a driver for ext4 on OSX I would reccomend that: its fast & proven to be quite stable, next best thing would be XFS.
Wikipedia is about facts devoid of oppinion. The sort of ideologues are the sort you can find on Conservapedia like creationist arguments that fail to stand proper scrutiny under the scientific method.
While we are on the subject: why is "liberal bias" anything that does not include a conservative bias?
Pages shouldnt be locked but vandal IP addresses should still be blocked. At the end of the day oppinions should be stated as oppinions not facts and so far Wikipedia despite not being "balanced" (whatever that term means) it is neutral which is how information should be presented.
SCO also have contract disputes they will try and persue, the whole fallout over Project "Legend". They're not dead yet but you are right that IBM realises that open source is a big key to their success and do all they can to make sure SCO is dead for good, making an example for other companies.
There isn't full agreement but most of it is pretty complete. The only non nitpicking issue that people cant agree on is video/audio. Microsoft and Apple want push h.264 into their browsers and push h.264 as a de-facto standard so they advocate against defining a codec in HTML5 (an open standard). Of course they dont support anything else in IE and Safari(for HTML5 video tags)
The other camp: mostly the open source community push for Ogg containers (Theora/Vorbis), despite h.264 is a superior codec Microsoft and Apple have mostly been attakcing it with patent FUD. Opera and Firefox are in the Ogg camp.
While Google has been cooking up VP8, an open codec that is supposed to be on par with h.264. Chrome contains support for Ogg and h.264 and likely in the future VP8 will be adopted by Chrome, Firefox and Opera.
At the end of the day we need an open specific video standard: otherwise it fails to solve the problem Flash started (breaking standards).
I am guessing you took offense to the comment I made on a preist opposing an AIDS cure.
When I said I heard a preist say that, I didnt say I heard it on TV, radio or YouTube. What I said was I heard a preist say that (as in he was about 5 meters from me)
And who said I was defending the "neo-protestant cults" as you called them? This was an issue with the Roman Church and they should apologize for their wrongdoings. The first step to reform is owning up to and taking responsibility for your actions (contrary to beliefs about confession and/or prayers). Protestant actions are a little offtopic.
Oh and before you think I know nothing about the church, yes I am a former catholic, raised in a catholic family. Most of my personal grevineces with the church do not come from generalsations or reputaiton but from my personal dealings with them, but again: offtopic
Also, flamebait people? Flamebait != disagree.
One thing you have to remember is there is no plans to remove the images from Facebook, Facebook will not remove them as they do not infringe on the terms of service, its not in their best interest to piss off their core base (free speech loving westerners) and the people who uploaded the images have no interest in taking it down.
This "tempoary" block wil lbe around for a long time.
Sounds fair enough, and no I wasn't thinking about Galileo I was thinking of Giordano Bruno, an Italian cleric that was burned at the stake for advocating Copernicus' work.
Why the sprinkle with holy water? What if after the way he was treated he died with nothing but contempt for the Church?
Im all in favor of reburying him as a hero, Im all in favor of an apology (despite its not likely he is able to hear nor accept/reject it due to the account of him being dead and all).
The moral thing the Catholic Church should do is issue an official apology to the scientific community as a whole for its actions, against Copernicus, Galilao, Darwin and every other bright mind they condemned that ended up being right (or laying the groundwork for other breakthroughs).
But of course its not in their nature, after all it's too busy condemning steam cell research and looking for ways to condemn synthetic organisms and preaching that condoms are evil (I also heard one preist say he's against finding a cure/treatment for AIDS as it would promote sexual immorality.)

You do realise that Gentoo is the one that you compile.
Indeed, Samsung did the Galaxy Tab on 2.2 and it works really well. HTC has mentioned they were intending on putting 3.0 on a phone at some stage.
Try telling that to Samsung, I'd take my Galaxy Tab over the iPad anyday.

Like Firefox?
In Australia we havent even got decent dataplans, its all between 20Mb to 500Mb. The 1Gb & 2GB plans are hideously expensive.
I would love to be Windows free but until Steam is ported to Linux (and my games collection on Steam, which will never happen) I will retain a Windows 'gamer' machine.
Its a trap!

Goatse has a long history of exposing gaping holes
The thought was that SCO sued IBM hoping that IBM would buy them out.
SCO also have contract disputes they will try and persue, the whole fallout over Project "Legend". They're not dead yet but you are right that IBM realises that open source is a big key to their success and do all they can to make sure SCO is dead for good, making an example for other companies.

A spokesman for Pakistan's office of information technology said Facebook assured the government 'nothing of this sort will happen in the future
I wouldnt count on that buddy. People dont like being censored, trust me there will be reprisals of this.

Enough people boycott Facebook, he will be replaced.
