yes, but I think the key point here is that you will add more tools to an already massive toolkit. When I got started with linux I found it nice that I could just go around and grep, sed and diff everything and have intelligible output right away.
Even though in general I'm inclined to try out new practices and paradigms I feel skeptical about this proposal. On one hand you have data manipulation and retrieval RDB style on the other hand you loose ease of access and intuition because you diverge from Linux text file paradigm.
x86 never was a champ in power efficiency. It excels in instructions (performance) though, that's why it has come to dominate the "productive computing" market. The architectures Android was tailored towards both in backend and in api were designed and utilized with instruction frugality and hardware limitations in mind.
Making Android available on the much more powerful x86 ecosystem and its hardware net is counterproductive at best. Why imped a device with the limitations of a toy OS when you can utilize a complete desktop environment?
That is only monitors or laptops. Think of the gaming rigs in towers with 3xGPU boards. I can discern a handful of towers in each photo and judging from the demograhpic on those events you are talking about serious gamers so I wouldn't be surprised if most of the towers (say a 20% of total computers) were high end 1.2kW gaming rigs. so 1200*2400 + 150*9600 ~= 4.3mW ouch....
Real time comms is very effective if you are a 16yo girl but is a productivity hog like no other otherwise. When I went almost completely asynchronous in 2008, productivity skyrocketed. True some clients like to have a chat or two about the project and during dev (which is totally reasonable and I actually insist on it) but if you can do that face to face there's no reason to fake it on MSkyper.
In the end it is the quality of comm that matters not the quantity or frequency. Also clients too shy to meet in person aren't worth my time no matter how much money they wave.
Also my 2c on the story: Corporate email is bad, very bad. But the solution isn't to ban it but to teach employees how to communicate properly. teach them to: 1) write and respond to emails effectively 2) set up meetings only when interactivity is required 3) determine if an email is needed, useful and precise job done.
SEO is one of those practices that someone could easily step up and say does not exist. They would be totally rational and their arguments would be valid.
SEO a practice that consists mainly of two activities: Fixing your predecessors wrongdoings (HTML, internal links, inbound links, outbound links, employee web presence, SEM, etc.) and aggressive search engine tuning. Both those practices are totally optional, after all even a site that has a good amount of traffic will have variance in rankings over a big enough period, so you can just take the money and tell your customer that everything is set up and his site will start performing better in search results in about 15-21 days, mailing them a pdf with guidelines on how to maximize the effect your work which basically is an essay that tells them to work harder, to publish more and to pursue links from places in their sector.
In general if you build a site from scratch and do everything correctly you will have set up most of the SEO by the time you finish the front end. The last part being watching statistics over time and making small adjustments.
Aggressive se tuning of websites is a totally different story. In my experience it isn't worth it since it is too close to trying to game the search providers. It will offer better improvement and act faster but in the long run will hurt ranking if not administrated continuously (or even if administrated). Like steroids have helped athletes all over the world win big medals/tournaments/paychecks aggressive seo will manage to bring in some fat paychecks and then either will get your clients addicted (and make you even richer) or you finger-pointed in some way.
No, they just can't accept the fact that they shot themselves in the head by giving up a maturing venture and are stubbornly trying to repurpose the software they developed to show shareholders that they could still extract value from it. It is textbook shareholder marketing. The problem with this is that: "NO CONSUMER GIVES A FUCK ABOUT A TWEETING PRINTER"
Isn't that the program microsoft invented to deploy the Windows genuine advantage piracy checker? I remember it locking down my sony vaio back in 2006 along with about 20k devices that used the same vendor key.. Apart from this I can't remember it having done anything ever. In win7 they added the additional languages functionality to it, that was helpful for about twelve seconds.
ok, the solution is simple: write an iphone virus that calls home to a siri emulation server and relays its data packets as well as the system response:-)
I was living under the impression that OpenSSL keys were pseudo non-deterministic. Pseudo because no sw random number is truly random in mathematical definition. Anyway, point is that if the ID generation is deterministic (which it probably is if they want to do offline/offsite auth) the existing amount of iPhones will, or not, be sufficient depending on ratio of used up entries in the generated name space. Truth be told I don't think that the existing number of IDs is enough, the generator probably is designed to give unique ids for any apple product until the heat death of the universe (if you believe recent rumors that people will stop buying apple after that).
Well, given a large enough statistical sample and enough processing power they could come up with an algorithm that generates valid keys. So they could just hack the servers angry birds calls home to and dump their keylist, that would be a start.
Ok, I will agree on the activity clause but the rest of that sentence is plain wrong.
Anyway, maybe I chose the wrong wording or maybe you read it the wrong way. I'm not implying that he was a pioneering visionary of unmapped technological planes or anything the like. When you say somebody has "vision" you are describing a supportive stance to an ideal or paradigm. Ilya was, as far as I recall, deeply interested in decentralized social computing. A lot of people (maybe even me) like that paradigm a lot, you could say that others will share that vision.
So sorry if I scratched some unhealed wound, but I did not any of the things you accuse. Also, thanks for the tip on market research. It won't be of any use to me but it is a point worth of making.
Not to forget that the domesticated animals that usually end up on our tables will be able to live a life that isn't based on a slavery mechanism that determines their every aspect right until their calculated butchering. Just like the car freed the horse; chicken, pigs and cows will be freed by the meat assembly line. Still the idea of having a cow pet instead of a horse or riding pigs in a race with your mates amuses.
... they have to in good faith attest that they have the copyrights to those items they send takedown notices for....
The global judicial infrastructure is not based on good faith. You can't go into a court say you own a country and be granted legislative priviledges to that without research to affirm your claims. So why should individuals be forced to follow other individuals' claims in good faith? With the same concept spamers would have to just order you to install spyware. That doesn't seem very consistent or legit or even healthy reasoning.

You missed my sarcasm...
ohh!

In this context you might as well give them Chlamydia.
You get to keep the usb also!
Are they violating or are they just prior art?
Oh, I am sure that a patent lawyer will give you at least two dozen reasons why they do and, as we all know, patent lawyers understand everything!
Ok, I don't know about all the otehr stuff you wrote but: /. really offends me!
Why wouldn't I steal a car?
This kind of prejudging that happens on
Not if this qualifies as Prior Art :-)

Very sad news, not only because of his vision and the fact that he was a good geek but just because 22 is way too soon.
Any news on the causes yet?

Yes, what about that?
Or at least they could put it below the notifications box.
How difficult/easy/impossible is it to actually put an archlinuxarm.org on it?
Because if its doable I'm sold on the Optimus. err... the Transformer Prime.
BTW: by doable I mean a permanent install, no dualboot / flashCard idiocy.
I look forward to nano-NASCAR races.
