I do not dislike the module, more variety is good. The compression does also make sense and might help, but I would rather have my kernel only swap when needed and this is when it runs out of memory.
I use tmpfs a lot, but why would I use memory as swap space? Reading the Wikipedia article doesn't convince me, why not provide any swap space in the first place?
Since it already uses Gentoo Portage, at least the development version ChromiumOS, maybe they left the toolchain and it is possible to compile/add some more applications than a browser, media player and file manager by adding some overlay?
Your list is not accurate, e.g. 5 is Windows 7 Home Premium and not Win8, this one is also increasing in sales. Maybe the list got updated in the meantime?
There is no mention if they implement the feature to disable secure boot, as I understand to get the sticker from MS they have to. Also they said, the devices are only locked up on ARM processors to run Win8 and it can be disabled for x86 CPUs.
This would be a no go for me, I am sometimes willing to pay the MS tax but not if it renders the hardware unuseable with other software.
I meant that more related to the government knowing how many searches one did, which is a joke compared to other countries. I was once unemployed for three weeks in Ireland, went to the office, filled in a form and got a check end of each week. No questions asked to a maximum of six months, I think. This is a model I would support, no stress and within six months people should be able to find another job.
in Germany jobless people have to report any application for a job to the agency and they have to apply for a certain amount of jobs per month or they get no welfare. Still people say it is not enough and unemployed people should be a workforce of the government to clean parks etc. -.-
This is definitely the best question so far. Something like 'Smoking kills!' or 'Windows 8 only!':) No seriously, because it is hard to get computer without pre-installed OS any more and with secure boot it is now possible to lock down 'normal' Intel machines as well.
I usually check if there is an installation script in PlayOnLinux, wine and crossover database for the game etc. before I buy it. Never had big issues, except since I use the AMD open driver, there was a short problem with Demon Stone not rendering the character which is fixed by now anyway.
I notice with Windows that options go more and more clicks away which makes me use PowerShell and commandline options for basic tasks like killing a task and restarting the print spooler when splwow64.exe craps again (I wrote a script for that, since it freezes Office and other 32bit apps 4-5 times a day). Even most Windows fanboys tell me its easier to use the commandline.
In the past people were told, if there is no GUI its not user friendly. Suddenly commandline is state of the art:) So it stays, Windows is neither user friendly nor technically advanced but has a brilliant PR department
Before someone makes me use crappy MikTeX or something like that, I rather stay on Linux and use the original free software. Where XeTeX is actual developed by Apple and state of the art.
I uninstalled Flash, this is one of the best ad blockers. The pages are loaded in half the time, no stuff jumps into your face and I surf away as soon as I get nasty popups anyway...
I do pure mathematics at the university at the moment and for fun, I try to recreate the functions etc. in Java. For one thing, you can do most of the calculations using loops or existing API without bothering to optimize anything or proof something to infinity. Then there are also existing languages like R to help you out if you want to check a result.
My tutor always says, programming cannot proof anything, maths can:)
This is where many bugs come from, especially if it comes to larger values...
Kindle readers buy four times the number of books they did before owning one, according to other data.
This is the actual thing that is good about the device... I even count the up/reading time of my kindle with uptimeproject:)
AFAIK, they contributed a driver to make the Linux kernel run on the MS Hyper-V. That driver made it into the staging of the Linux kernel and then nothing was heard from MS developers for a long time. So it was announced it will be removed from the kernel soon (2.6.33 I think).
It didn't meet standards and needed to be cleaned up. So MS needed another 600 patches to clear up the code and that is all they did.
MS does nothing for CIFS etc. or to help make Linux talk to MS products.
I go to Oxford quiet regulary and often there are stickers inside "Smile, you are on CCTV!" etc. The only difference would be, that it is not optional any more... trains have CCTV as well -.-
Even better:)
With plain vanilla 3.1.0 everything works, screen (radeon kms), keyboard, controllers, network + wifi + bluetooth, webcam.
I personally use mostly KDE applications on top of that and awesome to manage the windows...
I usually check on Wikipedia: http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportClients.htm
MSIE: 36.25%
Firefox: 24.06%
Chrome: 18.22%
This is of course not representative, but if they measure for example Friendface or Shitter then they do not see what I use:)
if you want a really easy straight forward OS, use CentOS.
It installs in like 10min
nothing to maintain, updates come automatically
just a pure Gnome2 desktop to start with
fancy software comes from user maintained repos

This was the same I thought when reading the report. /. might the on the index now as well with your post :)

It will sit there forever: "Are you sure you want to update? Yes/No"

HP-UX CAD workstations use it, last seen ~3 years ago...

they want learn to use Windows at school and that's it.
Personally I use a virtual machine to run the application my university wants me to use.
Even better :)

I think is was last year or something. They said they first tried Windows, which crashed and then used some Linux as their OS for more reliability.
