yeah, i'm confused. i just saw that arduino retails at 15USD at the local hobby shop. it has a 16MHz atmega328 and 32KB flash memory. these raspberry guys are promising a board that is the same size and has 700MHz arm11, 128MB ram, and sd card slot at 25USD??!!?1 seems bullshit to me. if it were possible to do it so cheap, somebody would have been selling these by now.
You know why people use stupid passwords like 1234 and abcd? Because it's only reasonable. My laptops password is 'yo'. It let's me log in or unlock quickly and still doesn't allow my roommate to snoop around in my laptop. That's it! That's all the security I need, that nobody can post shit from my facebook account. There's no secret data I'm carrying around.
Actually no. They considered this in the follow up blog post. Turns out it gets easier to spot patterns that way because of the relative position of multiple smudges. So you can isolate the password pattern from normal use easily.
you would do well to try the latest mint. it has a hacked version of gs3 and still works pretty good. its very usable, the top-right hot-corner thing works amazingly, minimize works (mostly), multiple desktops works, you also have a traditional 'start' menu and its much, much faster than unity. oh, and i can't seem to find any obvious bugs either. there are plenty of customization options too. one thing i completely hate is the custom icon for firefox, its really irritating. but it can be changed by a simple theme change.
on my laptop, google docs on chromium or even microsoft live documents on chromium perform better than libreoffice native program. faster operations, auto-saving, much better ui (both google and ms), and documents are saved in standard formats that can be used everywhere else without headaches.
IE does the best on a test suite that is composed disproportionately of tests developed and submitted by Microsoft to test the features of the applicable standards that are implemented by IE.
i actually tested ie 9 and chrome on sunspider and ie9 won(!). i was extremely surprised but ie9 does better than chrome on a test that chrome devs practically wrote.
i heard that duckduckgo=bing?? wikipedia does not have a clue. also the results are quite good, which makes the bing hypothesis quite unlikely. if anyone knows anything about this, i'd like to know.
i am an indian and i presently attend college. at school, when i was in 8th class, i was extremely eager to go to 9th class because they had all sorts of frog and cockroach dissection and i was very interested. the fuckers (idiotic peta type people) abolished dissection in middle/high school from that very year:( i never got my chance to do interesting dissections and lost all interest in biology. now i am studying electronics:( looks like they will make even medical school bland and uninteresting.
WTF?!? after a long time i thought lets try firefox again and the windows exe for the beta is fricking 15mb?!?! i remember and long for simpler times when it was justa 4-5mb download *sigh* no wonder its so fucked up nowadays.
It's about time, the performance of Firefox has suffered greatly the last few version. even the right click on a link to show the drop down menu takes several seconds on a 2 GB mac mini (2009 model). At the moment Chrome is the best choice performance wise, but I prefer Firefox.
dude, there is somehing seriously wrong with your pc.
maybe its just me but i simply can't stand non-smooth scrolling on a touch pad. when i use the wheel of a mouse to scoll, its okay, but when sliding my finger along the touchpad edge, i have to have smooth scrolling. and usually i'm on my laptop using the touchpad. and firefox's smooth scolling is not actually smooth. it jerks and freezes up randomly for fractions of seconds. this is the main reason i left firefox:(

yeah, friends don't let friends install safari!
finally! someone admits that macs can actually crash! :D
well, i'm happy to report that windows 7 NEVER crashes
classic denial...

no, they were 'features'. apps are things you can actually install.
lol! i mean even the most fucked up linux fanbois are not so retarded to put up linus' face on their wallpaper!
hell i could snap a pic and send it to the person i'm talking to all while still talking to the same person, on old nokias and even a moto razr.
my brain hurts after reading the comments on that video.
you couldn't always run apps on iphone. so your further assertion that you could "always run apps while on a call" is completely bogus.
and symbian.

ok i'm actually using firefox again after a loooooong time and its actually quite usable! not as smooth as chrome but very close! i'm switching back!

i find that extremely hard to believe. also, firefox without lots of addons is worse than ie.

you missed out a 'been', though i'm not sure where.
this is, put simply, the difference in quality between airbus and boeing. nothing more.
