It's highly unusual for none of the source code files to have an updated LGPL license header and the third party code has license text stating it can't be disclosed as it's under license. Any open sourcing of code done officially had headers properly updated and a license text stating that the company gas released it under the new license. Also there is no proof that this person even has authorization to have released this.
The point of consoles is the identical hardware. No need to have to support multiple GPU generations with varying capabilities across multiple vendors and the bugs specific to each vendor's GPU drivers.
If game houses are still releasing titles for a console that by this time next year will be 2 genrations old, I wonder about their thought processes.
Their thought process is that the PS2 is still making them money so they make games for it. It was only around 2010 when the amount of new games really slowed down a lot.
This has nothing to do with patents. The 'license' was just that Google paid Apple to make Youtube a built-in app. The agreement has now expired and it will just be a separate app.
Then just download the new app when it hits the store and shut the fuck up. This is a change only in that the Youtube app is no longer unremovable from the system which was a stupid idea.

CDE was - as I remember it - cutting edge sometime 1988 when it pretty much blew away everything else.
I'm sure the time machine needed to get CDE 5 years before its existence blew people away even more.
You realize it's no longer 1990 and even a 1 gig stick of ancient DDR-333 RAM is only 25 bucks, right?

Back when CDE was written, programmers were much more careful since they had to be to make something that was memory efficient. Nowadays everyone is sloppy and lazy today leading to buggy memory wasting software
And back in the days of CDE people were saying the same thing about contemporary software in comparison to the 80s. It was of course as false then as your statement is now. There was plenty of 'bloated' and buggy software in the age of CDE. You're blinded by nostalgia.

The open-source code base for CDE is also nice to have in Patent lawsuits for prior art mining.
Yeah but not very useful without the full commit history so dating the prior art would be problematic.
Exactly. We know for a fact that people have been wrongfully convicted of crimes due to faulty evidence and we know that people have been wrongfully executed for crimes they didn't commit. Allowing illegal searches so someone can get their revenge is a true slippery slope.

You can safely bet that every major corporation have people on their payroll to make friendly articles for them.
It's also a tough case to claim something is anonymous speech when you blog under your legal name.
Which country allows you to buy cocaine or ecstasy from a pharmacy?
Sure, but you only target a single GPU for each console. Not a half dozen generations from each vendor.
Hacker News user gets confirmation from repo owner that this was a leak not an official open sourcing. Slashdot editors need to update the story to warn people.

No native apps came along because even 'nativey' web apps were crap.

Nevermind that no mainstream media house has produced a PS2 title in years
So 2K Games, EA, Konami and THQ aren't mainstream game companies? All those were released between 5 and 10 months ago.

At least they stopped posting buttcoin stories.
I hear they also had wheels and fire, too. Those ancients from 8 years ago were amazing.
Because they were playing with the wrong type of missiles?

The rule of law is more important than getting revenge. Illegal searches are wrong in all cases.
No they don't. Again, just because you heard someone repeat this falsity does not make it true. Have you ever actually programmed for either console?
Then you did it wrong. <sarcasm></sarcasm>
And no Unicode support either.
