  1. Re:A few things need to happen first on Gabe Newell Talks Linux As the Future of Games at LinuxCon NA · · Score: 1

    More importantly, Visual C++ doesn't fully include C++98 and is extremely slow and riddled with bugs.

    What sort of programmer doesn't know the name of a function?
    Calling an API is not the part that actually takes time...

    You really are a noob. Visual Studio is inferior technology from the last century.
    Linux has way superior development tools and APIs.

    You'd know if you weren't a script kiddie.

    Benjamin Millepied probably doesn't go on Slashdot.

    A Ferrari is useless.
    Most people who buy ones usually sell them not too long after.

  6. Yes, for new innovative projects on Ask Slashdot: Are 'Rock Star' Developers a Necessity? · · Score: 1

    Rockstar developers are the one you use to build an A-Team to create an innovative piece of software from fairly abstract requirements.
    Once the proof of concept is done, you then move it to average developers for polishing and maintenance.

    That's how R&D works in most companies.

  7. Re:The real agenda? on Intel, Red Hat Working On Enabling Wayland Support In GNOME · · Score: 1

    Github and Launchpad aren't really comparable.

    He failed at that when he launched 11.04 (or was it 11.10?)
    At that point Linux on the desktop lost all the hope that it had.

  9. Re: the best os for creative people on Thought Experiment: The Ultimate Creative Content OS · · Score: 1

    APNG is reasonably well supported.

  10. Re: Intent-aware OS and I/O bottleneck aware kerne on Thought Experiment: The Ultimate Creative Content OS · · Score: 1

    The main scheduler is for servers. Want a more desktop-centric scheduler? Just change the scheduler setting.

  11. Re:Not enough on Thought Experiment: The Ultimate Creative Content OS · · Score: 1

    Report to the project manager that the interaction with your colleagues is inefficient, and ask him to set standards for the team.

  12. Re:Not enough on Thought Experiment: The Ultimate Creative Content OS · · Score: 1

    Your ideal OS isn't my ideal OS.
    Everyone's needs are different.

    Just set up your work environment to be what you need to be the most productive. It's the same for all other fields of work, including those that do not include interaction with a computer.

  13. Re:This article makes no sense on Thought Experiment: The Ultimate Creative Content OS · · Score: 1

    Yes, it is stupid.
    The best OS for creative editing is the OS that supports all of the software that you plan to use. Typically, it would be Windows, since some critical software only runs on that operating system.
    More and more software gets ported to Mac and Linux though, so it's mostly a matter of what you need to use in your workflow.

  14. Re:Not enough on Thought Experiment: The Ultimate Creative Content OS · · Score: 1

    So basically, since you're incompetent and can't set up the right software and subsystems for your workflow, you need the OS to mandate it for you?

  15. Re: Intent-aware OS and I/O bottleneck aware kerne on Thought Experiment: The Ultimate Creative Content OS · · Score: 1

    The Linux kernel is not responsible for lousy device drivers.

    If you want a good kernel and good file management, then you want Linux.

  18. Re:What patent? on Apple Now Relaying All FaceTime Calls Due To Lost Patent Dispute · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The technology to establish a connection between two peers for voice or video communication is standardized, in particular by the IETF, and implemented by many vendors.
    If there is a patent on that technology, that would put into question hundreds if not thousands of products worldwide.

  19. What patent? on Apple Now Relaying All FaceTime Calls Due To Lost Patent Dispute · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What is the patent involved here? Establishing a connection between two entities on an IP network? NAT traversal techniques? Usage of Interactive Connectivity Establishment protocols?

    Looks like the developers you work with haven't discovered asynchronous operation and the principle of overlapping communication and computation.

    The problem is that of definition.
    You can't solve a problem whose definition is not well-formed.

    They can sort different types of trash.
    Differentiating trash and non-trash is subjective. Not even a human can reliably do it. Assuming you instruct a machine what is trash and what isn't, with a clear and non-ambiguous definition, then there should be no problem making an algorithm that identifies which is which.
