  1. Re:The solution is obvious on Google Explains Why WebView Vulnerability Will Go Unpatched On Android 4.3 · · Score: 1

    It is fine if you value design and build quality above usability, updates, battery life and features. But then you don't have a right to complain later that you aren't getting updates. You knew exactly what you were buying the HTC for: design and build quality. You got that. Be happy. Don't whine about updates. If you cared even a bit about functionality, you wouldn't have got an HTC.

  2. Re: The problem is the interface on Windows 10 IE With Spartan Engine Performance Vs. Chrome and Firefox · · Score: 2

    Why is having a menu bar and title bar standard? Even Microsoft's own programs do not have title bar (Internet Explorer) or menu bar (Office) sometimes.

    I've got an HTC...

    Stopped reading after this. If you buy HTC, you deserve the shit you get. Galaxy S3 was released alongside HTC One S and it is upgradable to jelly bean.

    What is not standard in it? Windows has always been chaotic in interfaces. What do you want chrome to do? Bring in the ribbon menu?

    Chrome has proper aero interface on Win7. You posted a screenshot of qupzilla on win7 and chrome on win xp.

    Samsung developed this with Oculus. And DK2 uses the same screen. I expect many techniques from Oculus' research to be present here too.

  7. Re:Dizziness on Ars: Samsung Gear VR Is Today's Best Virtual Reality · · Score: 1

    DK2 uses a Galaxy Note 4 screen. So GearVR is good in that sense. Though I doubt the phone can push out pixels as fast as your PC.

    Everyone except Firefox is doing just that. How the mighty have fallen. Firefox was the one that brought down the evil IE.

    Adding 12 more cores to your quad core is not going to make the desktop perform better.

    Why, though? Why can't they separate things involved in loading a single page? Like network, static images, css, javascript, WebGL, etc. Each gets their own core. Won't that speed up the loading?

    How can you stop a native app from doing anything? I think the devs just need to catch up.

  15. Re:Yes, let's destroy our fastest growing industry on India Blocks Code Sharing Websites On Anti-Terror Advisory · · Score: 3, Informative

    Hey, the block will take about a week to get enforced here! I can still access each one of those at my home, office and mobile. India is slow. And mark my words, nobody gives two shits about this block. Those who care about github, will still be able to access it. At least I will. We have had dailymotion blocked for months. I didn't even know until yesterday when everybody went up in arms about github. Because dailymotion never went down for me.

    Incompetency pervades everything here. The ones ordering the block did it because they are incompetent. The ones supposed to enforce it are also incompetent.

    They are not supporting, they are saying we need a directive, otherwise Airtel's move is legal.

  17. Re:Another perspective on India Faces Its First Major Net Neutrality Issue · · Score: 1

    This is the wrong way to think about this. We have had 'Facebook' plans and 'Whatsapp' plans. They do not violate net neutrality because they do not offer internet access. Now, Airtel says that the 'Internet' plans will not cover Whatsapp, Skype, Viber, etc. This is a net neutrality violation.

    Service is pretty much the best out there. Dunno how you got this experience. I called them once my fiber broadband wasn't working at 1 am in the night and they sent a technician in 2-3 hours. Others probably won't even receive your call.

    I guess the cost for firing a missile would be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars range. Whereas the laser would be $0/shot once installed. Also, you can carry a limited number of missiles. Laser will just keep going. And its not like they will remove the missiles. Ponce will likely have both missiles and laser.

    And also if one doesn't own an android device, or a PC powerful enough to run Android Studio comfortably, etc etc. There are some prerequisites to programming. If you don't want to fulfil them, find something else to do.
