Now subtract the number of ideas with zero creativity.
Slashdot comments are pathetically wrong, again. Not a single comment differentiates game ideas that are just slight variations of known concepts and mind-blowing game ideas that don't look like anything else.

Think about the return on investment.....all of the miniturization and science driven by the space program. ROI is staggering.
Didn't you forget mind-blowing photos of the heavens as hmm.. a significant part of the return on investment? Of course revealing more of the celestial vault isn't measured in $$$, so yeah you can probably omit them.
OpenGL ES is OpenGL minus the totally outdated stuff you should never pay attention to (and which is sadly used in most web OpenGL tutorials, because they're all old), i.e it's a subset of OpenGL and is the right way to learn and do OpenGL programming today.
Hundreds of billions ? Hardly. Humanity is too busy making commercials. There's more public enthusiasm in the most worthless bit of mainstream matter than in science and technology, and space exploration.
Thank you for your informed opinion. Where did you get your degree in psychology or sociology? Is it a Masters or a PhD?
No degree needed to know that the people taking part in the simulation will likely be very different from the ship crew, who won't be faking love and hate stories like their favorite TV reality show.
If that was true, then we would still be hunting with long sticks rather than sitting in front of a keyboard.
ShooterNeo's message and yours made me realize how pathetic are economic textbooks and the students who perpetuate the doctrines coming out of them.
Cooperation, curiosity, inventivity, creativity have been and are still the major forces that drive progress. Not competition, especially not in the high tech. No good researcher or engineer is driven by the desire to be better than others, it's a manager thing.
And your stupid doctrines become cumbersome when they promote greed to the highest ranks of corporations.
A binary module isn't a first step, it's what open-source trashes away.
You're talking about Linux support, right ? Netgear boxes are all running Linux (you're probably confusing with the desktop situation, where some devices have no non-Windows OS support at all).
Harald's post ends on a courteous note because he suspects the false advertising comes from their PR. Other than that, Netgear "open-source router" is no different from any of their routers, even less friendly towards open-source than some of their previous models.
So, by that definition, I'm not sure if you can honestly consider any current consumer-grade router to be "Open Source" (from a purist perspective). The most popular "modder routers" are all Broadcom units, and all require the same binary to access the radio. All of them appear to contain restricted drivers.
Because they're the most popular routers, period.
They're not the best modder routers, but a large part of modded routers. Learn the difference.
3. Releasing open source drivers does not in any way reveal your chip mask and hardware architecture. Atheros' real competitors have access to electron microscopes and everything else it takes to buy a router off the shelf and copy chips exactly; simply keeping the drivers closed is not going to deter, say, realtek or broadcom in the slightest.
Then is there any reason why Broadcom and other companies are playing Gollum with documentation ?
Also why Netgear goes for Broadcom instead of Atheros ? Cheaper ?
I remember that Texas Ins used to make AR7 boards with Atheros Wifi G, perfect for home use, fully supported by OpenWRT, AND cheaper than everything else..
...Chrome Frame will end in growing fragmentation and loss of control for most of us, including Web developers.'
A very important point. Those of us who build the web finally thought we were seeing some movement with the increasing adoption of Firefox (mainly) causing Microsoft to build better browsers in IE7, and more so, IE8. We really looked forward to moving from a development model where 50% of the time was spent building the site to standards, and 50% hacking for Internet Explorer.
No, he's wrong or I fail to see his point.
By allowing developers to just forget about IE, Chrome Frame pushes for adoption of standards.
In fact after reading TFA I find all their arguments very weak..
E.g:
"It would be better for the Web if developers who want to use the Chrome Frame snippet simply told users that their site worked better in Chrome, and instructed them on how to install it,"
Yeah right, that's why IE is still pissing everyone off..
Chrome Frame on IE and native on standard-complying browsers, where's the problem ?
Chrome will support it built in to the new version.
Hmm, wrong:
Peter Kasting says
From the article: "It will also eventually be integrated into Google's Chrome Web browser."
I am a Chromium developer, and as far as I know, this is untrue; I believe the hope is to make this a Chrome extension, not something that's part of the base product.
Otherwise, in the long run, you will find yourself without capital, labor, or revenue. Thus, business ethics is about long term self-interest, not some kind of abstract altruism. Sometimes the "long run" takes a really long time, encouraging people to risk unethical behavior, of course.)
Haha, tell that to the 99% business who have little regards for anything beyond their navel and are perfectly successful.
The rise of MBA-types just reflects that the system tends to promote unlimited greed instead.
I wouldn't be so sure that Google is entirely driven by self-interest.
Sure they have obligation to make profit from their activities, but their ecclectic behavior might simply arise from the fact that Google might have truly different views from those of most business on what should be the purposes of human activity.
Slashdot Mirror
If an incredible resource like Wikipedia cannot even raise 16 tiny millions then the world can burn for all I care.
And what is this WikiExperts thingy? Keep your crappy suggestions to your crappy site/business and please stay away from Wikipedia's future.
..the peak of human thinking?
This is getting more and more retarded, psychology at its finest..
Which is why the battery life sucks on Ubuntu.

Look for OpenGL ES 2 books and tutorials, e.g this one : http://opengles-book.com/index.html
OpenGL ES is OpenGL minus the totally outdated stuff you should never pay attention to (and which is sadly used in most web OpenGL tutorials, because they're all old), i.e it's a subset of OpenGL and is the right way to learn and do OpenGL programming today.
So.. patting yourself on the back for this post so pompous and presumptuous that it is sickening ?..
What about love?
And our civilization will be remembered as bullshit lovers, to say the least.
Hundreds of billions ? Hardly. Humanity is too busy making commercials. There's more public enthusiasm in the most worthless bit of mainstream matter than in science and technology, and space exploration.

Answer is no.
And the psychological and medical aspects of 520-days period are bullshit, Slashdot readers have sat on a chair longer than that and they're fine.
Quit the safety mumbo-jumbo, send them first, ask questions later.
If you call crackling system sounds on every computer I've ever tried Pulse Audio on as a "good state".
All I know is that if you take a look at the "alsa-utils" Ubuntu init script, it shouldn't be PulseAudio that horrifies you anymore.

Netgear "open-source router" is no different from any of their routers, even less friendly towards open-source than some of their previous models.
Or almost, Netgear provides instructions for compiling our own apps : http://www.myopenrouter.com/article/13860/WNR3500L-Open-Source-Guide-Resources/
That's more open, but not much to do with open-source.
Also from the same page: "WNR3500L is running Linux 2.4.20."
Anyway, that brings Netgear closer to Nokia claims e.g.
But what a nice selection of open-source friendly parts, dear!
Just.. what are you talking about ?
A binary module isn't a first step, it's what open-source trashes away.

This really has nothing to do with artist protection or a supposedly french tradition, which might be an outdated or preconceived view of yours.
This has more to do with a president and a majority totally devoted to the richest and the MEDEF heads.
Our friendly conservative would rather like to believe in the contrary, but Hadopi's motives are not of any rational or well-intentioned kinds.

Yeah right you "love Linux", then you installed Windows 7 that you find amazing, fast, slick and easier ?
Are you from the MS marketing division ?
