NTFS. I always find it amusing that people insist on calling this a sane|efficient|feature_complete|modern file system.
NTFS aka New Technology File System was first introduced with windows NT (about 4 million years ago) and hasn't changed much since. I admit, it is definitely better than fat32 or fat16 but herpes is better than those lot, so that isn't much of a feat.
NTFS never performed well and is especially scared of large file counts.
Also windows AFAIK installs NTFS by default whereas every Linux distro will install ext3/4 by default meaning that when installing a Linux distro you have to choose the crappy FS instead of it being forced on you.
Ohh and since the topic at the moment seems to be windows file systems how again do you install windows on btrfs or ZFS? ohh, you don't!
no it isn't. You have to sign up for netflix, which requires usage of a keyboard. Whereas torrent delivery is so streamlined by now that (given somebody sends you a link to a movie torrent on a torrent site) you can go through installing a torrent client , DL and watch with use of only the mouse (or manically waving your hands around in the living room in front of a kinect, if that's what your deal)
This comment is severely underrated. What the **** happened? Are Locked devices the new cool? Is the next generation of hackers only interested in writing fart apps?
hmm... you can AFAIC torture LCD screens via software (you would have to reprogram the screen driver chip though) that could produce dead pixels. Also USBs could be overvoltaged untill they start shooting flames, but I think that would need a device connected to them to actually close a circuit. btw, I'm no expert on those two things so the above are speculations
Nah, you hook up the GPS to the BPM counter so that the instructions chic can rap to "teh beatz". you hook up the EQ to the RPM limiter to keep the engine in the correct harmonics (wouldn't want engine noise ruin that rap would you?).
Most electro manual transmissions (DSG, PDK, etc) work by this principle. The user just tells the CPU that he wants to change gear and the firmware does the rest, canceling the request if it is invalid. By that principle a badly written firmware could do much more than just strip a gear. Also in general you don't need a clutch to change gear, you need it to change gear smoothly and non destructively.
I think you meant niche not nice. Anyway, you are correct about the alternative OSes, a good variance in them will move things forward at a better pace. Let's just hope they don't get caught up in idiotic patent wars... Ohh wait....
Using webKit to render UI is technically brilliant. It's only drawback is that the process isn't as CPU efficient as is commanding C libs directly (AFAIK iOS and android do this) due to the added abstraction. Definitely universal rendering frameworks is the correct way to go, unfortunately webOS was a half effort endeavor and therefore never got the hardware to make it shine, nor did it get the performance optimization it deserved.
Anyway, now that it is going to be open sourced someone will come up with a way to accelerate the webKit renderer and lay the foundations for what is going to become the next generation of small device OSes.
Can you have broadband without a land line? All the countries I've been in (mostly Europe) require you to have a land line for broadband Internet. Otherwise you are stuck with lousy (and quite expensive) mobile Internet alternatives
Great read, very insightful. OTOH, while criminalization of unauthorized cracking into computer systems is quite sane, corporations should face criminal charges as well when exposed to be neglecting data security for sensitive information. Otherwise the punishment is one way and only unjust.
no, they were called computers because some times their calculations involved some form of propositional logic. It's written somewhere on the Internet.
you are unfamiliar with the tech underlying recatpcha
why do you think it requests two words? one word it has classified one it hasn't. If you input the classified word correctly you pass. The input of the unclassified word is buffered. Unclassified words that get consistent results are added to the classified word pool and used as validators.
It is a basic ml application whose computing is outsourced to the humans on the Internet who want to post on canHazMcRib.org and a very elegant solution as well. if you want more info on Luis von Ahn's ventures start with his ted talk.
I think what AC was reffering to when yelling "corruption" is the fact that You assume that since youtube is backed by Google it is ok to have oppressive and authoritarian IP legislation with severe penalties to whoever gets caught up in it either directly or indirectly.
Slashdot Mirror
Also, after Microsoft pretty much ruined said Nokia division, buying it is the only decent thing to do.
For once a move Microsoft made that is actually decent.
my favorite part of this Microsoft FUD is
Phishers/Spammers FAVOR attacking LAMP
Like there is another web server stack on the Internet.

Well, you can always hack HR, hire yourself, fire the HR idiots and then raise your paycheck by the amount of the wages you just cut.
Is that the same Nokia that in 2010 didn't have a capacitive touchscreen device?
If I didn't know Nokia better I would have been surprised!

History of East Timor is a long article and I do not posses the patience to thoroughly familiarize myself with it.
Could you be more specific?
You can defuse him by nuking him.
well monopoly is counter productive because it discourages research and establishes an infinitely high barrier of entry.
You need at least a bit of wealth to start a military intervention and make it last long enough to make the new state of powers stick.

Dude, from personal experience a book that calls itself "unofficial {directive}" is never serious!

Yes!
But what happens when the celeron runs out of steam?
Which it will inevitably do.
After 11 minutes.
yes!
until it runs out of electricity in 23 minutes.
