Kolivas found that the Kernel development environment was actively hostile to desktop, the fact that shortly after his departure we see dramatic collapse of interactive performance (as evidenced by the bug I linked to, that persisted for years), I tend to think that is indeed the case.
Yes there' are different schedulers, but they all sucked for desktop for a very long time (if not still, my main linux system is not tuned to desktop at all right now). Read the bug report, use an oldish system, use a default Ubuntu 7.04. then upgrade the kernel (or any distro with 2.6.15, then upgrade), it was dramatic. Ubuntu 7.04 remains for me the high-water mark for desktop Linux, it's not terrible now, and there's a lot of nice new features, but that was the one that just worked, and was nice, without any little complaints.
I think this is what gstreamer does, and what libavc does, and pulse, and forget what KDEs audio is called, and KDE has a video one too I think, I'm not sure about images, but I assume it's similar.
Of course, in this context, arguably KDE is the OS, or Gnome, as it packages the types of features being discussed.
Well, they have clocked hundreds of thousands of miles on real life roads, 2 actual incidents, one under manual control.
Without all the data we don't know how many times a real life driver took over and averted a problem, or how often it's generally deemed too dangerous, and goes under manual control just to be safe, but I imagine that as time goes on, they will be used more and more autonomously, and eventually there will be data to demonstrate it's vastly being safer than people driving. I suspect this will come before the tech is available to consumers.
It is partially responsible for the damage they cause though.
Also, Linux scheduling is exactly the opposite as what was described in general. It is all about over-all throughput, with little regard for interactivity (this is better now, but a lot of nasty things were said, and people pushed out who wanted to address these issues nearly a decade ago).
The BFQ people are not welcome, I can't even remember the name of the scheduler from years ago where a nasty kernel inner circle drove a guy to quit, after demonstrating better responsiveness without impacting throughput.
The issues with EXT4 and unordered writing are another example where things most be done enterprisy or fail (saying you can lose 10 minutes of changes anyway, so deleting entire files is A OK, you should simply sync before and after a file write, because fuck caching).
The Linux Kernel people are very anti Desktop Linux, and it shows in design choices and attitude.
I'm willing to bet the legal issues will be addressed well before this is a consumer technology. Google is doing hundreds of thousands of miles of testing, unless these things are super drivers, there will be an incident, then they will provide their data supporting the their track record, and it will no longer be a case of gross negligence at least.
If the driverless system is immune from punitive damages, it will be lower cost to insure, and will rapidly take off (obviously restorative damages will still need to be paid, and someone will pay the insurance, I'd think it makes sense to have the drivers pay it yearly, rather than the manufacturers paying it all up front for the life of the car and adding it to the sale price.
It was a Blue Ray Rip that I tested for high bitrate.
The quality of the encoding may be low, but commercial movies (purchased legally) are part of what I want to view.
Short of DVD or Blue Ray players I am yet to see smooth scrolling text or credits (netflix on my PS3 is the worse for this, software rendered VLC on older hardware coming next, even on an SD H.264 conversion off of a blue ray rip).
I've found that sub 10 Mbps leads to pretty bad artifacting at 1080P during high-contrast (lightning strikes, HBO's bump being the obvious examples)
I've always had obvious stutter (apperent when credits are rolling), and never was able to get mildly acceptable playback at blueray level bitrates without hardware that was dramatically more powerful.
I see a lot of ipads that have cases with build in targus keyboards. Smaller and more useful than a net book, thicker, than an iPad. My friend uses one extensively while traveling, and many lawyers use them in court.
Trivial code is shared via html all others time by many coders, sane or not. It causes you problems too in it's fragility.
I personally think it's a fair price to pay for consistent style between coders (which makes multi coder projects easier to deal with too), but let's not pretend that it's without drawback.
So, at what point does responsibility for distraction take hold?
Obviously if I do something distracting, like make a loud noise that takes a security guard away from their post, and shit goes down I have responsibility.
I tend to agree that we should be allowed to text people driving or not, and put the responsibility on the drivers, but if someone texted me back and was like, keep it to a minimum, I'm driving in a shaky situation, and I kept a conversation going, clearly I am doing is wrong on some level.
If someone does something stupid, like jumps out into traffic, I should try to avoid them too, even if they are being idiotic.
Title insurance does what you think a realtor should do. A good local agent is great when buying at a distance, they'll know the market and save you time. Aside from that, it's great to have someone take people through the house when I'm not there.
I believe it has to do with assuring that there are service shops. Early on the dealer was the mechanic, but also added overhead to a sale. To protect the availability of service shops, protectionist laws were put in place to keep dealerships around. How does one get a tesla serviced right now?
Even if your premise is right that this should be a criminal matter, it's manslaughter at worse. The guy transmitting the disease would need to know he had it for it to be low level murder, and be actively trying to infect people for high level murder. There is no way this was attempted murder, and really sounds like the type of thing civil, not criminal courts are made for.
Every time I've flown klm ( transfers in amsterdam), I've had my bags thoroughly searched by customs. And when I flew in from zuric a serious grilling about money, I forget if a search though. They've never searched my pockets though.

Firefox for Android, 3rd party app on iOS, none for Windows Phone, and not on Internet explorer, Safari, addon for desktop chrome.
It has a long way to go (IMO).

We must have dozens of them.

Not yet, there's not wide support for animated PNGs in either of their incarnations.

See:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/131094 (issues between Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10, things still don't feel as good as kernel 2.6.15 did in 7.04, kernel issue primarily, this is probably partially because Linus doesn't believe in using spinning disks).

How were the stats for the traffic drivers?

Even now these things are better that the average driver (in google's tests)
They can cope with random crap about as well as people in general.
Pretty sure Cyanogen has this, I'd be surprised if there aren't other apps in the market too, Camera FV-5 appears to do it.
Those that want the features have them readily available.
That strategy will fail, Google is moving the APIs to the official store app, rather than the OS.

I saw a trivial example break when posted to /. not that long ago, in the interview.
I wanted to improve it, but it's so bad I'd practically have to start from scratch, and it's an area I don't know anything about.
I assume it's supposed to be a list, but it's formatted as unrelated sentences in paragraphs.
That is the most poorly written article ever.

No, they said more Orwellian, though I don't really think that's true either. If anything it's kafkaesque, but not really.
Yes, I've noticed that too. In the rest of the world they welcome tourists, back home(USA) they are a pain, even to citizens.
