Firewire was designed to do just that, whereas USB was intended for cheaper and simpler devices. Of course, having two different technologies for different kinds of devices was too complicated, so now we "simply" have USB with a dozen different connectors, speeds, and host/device/OTG capabilities.
Subpixel font rendering works much better for vertical subpixels. Thus it would be great to have a 1200x1920 display with the proper subpixel alignment. When you rotate it for watching movies, the subpixels won't matter.
I agree with the problems of punctuation with the AltGr key. That's why I use a UK layout, and only use the Finnish layout for writing my natural language. I've set up Xorg for a quick switching between layouts:
The P4 chip is not slow, by any means. P3, sure. but P4? Please.
That's a really unfortunate comparison. If you look at performance per watt (or MHz), the P3 runs circles around the P4. That's why the P3 was used as the basis for Pentium M, which in turn became the Core. In other words the P3 design was better to begin with, and went much further, and the P4 is 'old' in the sense of being inefficient.
Especially in an always-on server project, you're better off with almost anything else besides the P4.
The existence of H3O+ and OH- shows that an electric monopole exists, even though it is not directly observed; you cannot construct these molecules/ions from dipoles only. Similarly, it looks like this experiment shows the existence of magnetic monopoles. To me that is more interesting than the details of the elementary monopole particle. For one thing, it explains (via Dirac's proof) why electric charge is quantized.
I've written some simulations of atmospheric physics in Fortran. Specifically, these simulations were about the condensation of water vapour into tiny droplets, that in turn make up the big opaque lumps in the sky. I'm pretty sure this is called cloud computing, though there's a lot of vapourware involved.
Aino is a Finnish woman's name. A phone with that name sounds like a Nokia. Even though Nokia seems to prefer model numbers (many of which are overloaded with very old and very recent models), it does use some obviously Finnish names such as Ovi (door) and Maaemo (Mother Earth).
Yeah, it's a shame that so much great hardware is going to waste, due to this closed appliance mentality. The PS3 is just the tip of the iceberg, notable because we can see it being closed, from the previous somewhat open state. At least you can still buy a 'fat' version.
I recall that the PS2 used to have a Linux kit so that it could be sold with a lower tax as a computer, rather than a toy. I wonder if this was the case with the PS3 as well, now that the computer functionality is being removed.
It doesn't need to run off batteries, either, so as long as it doesn't cause your lights to dim or make the lounge room into a sauna, who cares how much power it draws?
I care, because I pay the electricity bill.
Mother Earth cares, because of the millions and millions gamers out there.
There have been and still are a few implementations of external pci express. But they have all been prohibitively expensive and somewhat "special purpose".
I'm afraid it will be something weaker and smaller than current netbooks. A toy computer, compared to the real computers that run Windows on x86, like God intended.
The point is, why can't we have a regularly sized laptop with a sensible processor like ARM?

But then carrying about a cellphone with a Roomba battery attached to it would certainly suck.
Not to mention cellphones with some other parts of a Roomba.
The similarities are not just incidental, Gentoo Portage was shamelessly copied from BSD Ports.

A Lemote netbook using a MIPS-like processor and completely open firmware is available in Europe and probably ships to other countries too.
From the first article:
This makes perfect sense. ARM is a smarter architecture than x86, and almost any OS is smarter than Windows.
I second this, with a simple test: Try following a movie without sound. Then try it without the picture, but with sound on.

My patents say I have fat fingers.
The N900 comes with a Debian-based distro with no silly limitations. Consider supporting a Linux-friendly business.

From your linked page: Since the sport barely requires you to use your feet.
I wonder how do the players move, do they float or something?
OK, they use their feet, and the sport involves a ball. This is why sports like tennis and golf should also be called "football".
It's snowing leopards (hallelujah!)

Seconded. Different classes for men and women is like different classes for black and white people.
Nature has its own laws, which are not the laws of men.
Exactly, they are the laws of women.
There have been and still are a few implementations of external pci express. But they have all been prohibitively expensive and somewhat "special purpose".
Yeah, they're called ExpressCards.
This is /.
There are no GFs here.
Even if that is true, it is possible that some people, who use Slashdot, have girlfriends. </pedantic>

BTW, TFA doesn't define what CMX stands for either. Apparently it is an internal codename which may not have an expansion.
The name of the Finnish band stands for Cloaca Maxima, the main sewer line of ancient Rome. Not a bad description for the current music industry.
