The point murder in a legal sense, something someone could be tried for murder over. And yes, legal meaning whatever bullshit happens to be in law as what murder is. IANAL, but drones are being treated as legal, at least for now.
Gabe never confirmed Source 2. He said "We’ve been working on Valve’s new engine stuff for a while, we're probably just waiting for a game to roll it out with".
That's promising, but it sounds more to me like a further evolution of Source the way they've been doing it so far.
This is actually an interesting concept. As one who enjoys tiled window interfaces, I'd like to see more concepts that avoid the stacking window management we've had for so long. I do think the model posed is a bit more restrictive than I'd like, though.
"Charges Russian"? Not man, not woman? I was sure at first that the U.S. was making claims of the country Russia, and so prepared for big shit to go down.
It was a joke about how politically incorrect it seems to be now to refer to a dark-skinned person's skin tone. I recall a case of bullying with some African American kid who was white, because the other kids didn't believe him.
It's all ridiculous. Race is race, skin color is skin color.
But that's exactly what we're saying -- x264 can match the speed of GPU encoders or QuickSync, and still provide better quality. Or, it can provide the same quality, faster.
Sure, GPU/QuickSync encoders will have a niche once they can be faster than x264. But they're still not. They have no niche at the moment. I'm not a fanboy of x264, it's simple fact.
Intel has already confirmed that the 2013 "tock", Haswell, will still use DDR3. Not sure about AMD's position, but this sounds like DDR4 will wait on desktops and laptops for 2014 or 2015.
Get a used Android, especially from a buddy, and get a plan from Cricket, PagePlus, or similar.
A friend gave me his old Droid Incredible and now I use it with PagePlus on their prepaid cards -- they offer monthly plans too, but it comes to about $7/mo. if I go prepaid, as little as I use it.
I'm not sure about this particular case, but the FSF/SFLC and Debian Legal have a lot of experience with this sort of thing. IANAL, and I can't find a well-versed contention to their opinion, so I trust them to make the right call.
Keep in mind, I'm not saying they're arbiters of truth and untruth, just that they're quite reasonable people from what I can tell (and therefore are unlikely to need sense talked into them, no offense).
I looked it up. The NASA Open Source Agreement 1.3 is OSI certified, but the FSF deems it non-free. Since NASA World Wind is in Debian's nonfree repository, I assume that would be where this will go too.
"The NASA Open Source Agreement, version 1.3, is not a free software license because it includes a provision requiring changes to be your “original creation”. Free software development depends on combining code from third parties, and the NASA license doesn't permit this."
One is over copyright infringement, and I think many people here are against the enforcement that Voskresenskiy desires.
The other, however, is whether giant multi-national corporations should have to bend to the law of individual nations outside their central base -- and this is a much more interesting issue, one that may bring dire consequences if we continually tell Google, et al. that they do not need to concern themselves with anything but US law.
that the worldwide million geek army disagrees. If they should choose to fight them, well , good luck.
A million geeks versus ~619 million "fit for military service" in the People's Liberation Army? Sorry, but I'm buying Chinese on that one, despite my personal feelings about their government.
Nobody said all you have to do is make a program's code readable for audits to magically happen. TrueCrypt development is done in a closed fashion, with extremely few (any?) patches from outside sources, and a lead team actively hostile towards critique. Furthermore, it is extremely difficult to build close-to-identical versions of TrueCrypt due to build system ridiculousness. That is more why no audits have taken place.
Spread your free software FUD elsewhere, that last bit is a fun little straw man...

Thanks for your well-put-together analysis.
Do we still give reasons why we hate shit around here?

It's worth considering that the reasons behind banning landmines include others, like long-term out-of-war casualties.
Those mines stay there.

We'll see soon(TM) enough.

"Charges Russian"? Not man, not woman?
I was sure at first that the U.S. was making claims of the country Russia, and so prepared for big shit to go down.
So I see.
It was a joke about how politically incorrect it seems to be now to refer to a dark-skinned person's skin tone.
I recall a case of bullying with some African American kid who was white, because the other kids didn't believe him.
It's all ridiculous. Race is race, skin color is skin color.
so .. what colour are they ?
African American.

Further evidence: ArsTechnica report on this, says Intel's roadmap doesn't include DDR4 until Haswell-EX in 2014.

Except even when you compare the fixed function H.264 encoders to x264 at those exact settings, x264 still dominates.
Intel has already confirmed that the 2013 "tock", Haswell, will still use DDR3.
Not sure about AMD's position, but this sounds like DDR4 will wait on desktops and laptops for 2014 or 2015.
I _knew_ the US Congress was a whore.
NVIDIA artificially limits their double-precision performance to boost sales of their Quadro chips.
They have secretaries to deal with the open-source 'wierdos'.
It's been less than two hours since 1.4.
Give them time!

You don't need a data plan to enjoy a smartphone.
Shows what I get for assuming!
Talk sense into them?

Has long disputed. The community itself is singular.

Not when they can't even compete due to continually being an expansion pack behind while they take the time to censor out culturally offensive crap!
