Because this is Fedora. New stuff always appears and/or is turned on by default in Fedora first: Gallium3d Radeon/RadeonHD kms btrfs packagekit consolekit policykit devicekit empathy/telepathy
Also, I think some parts of the Gnome port to dbus appeared there well before they did in other distros
What are you talking about? Neither the HTML5 beta, nor the Feather beta are remotely like you describe. As rendered on-screen, the html5 version looks identical to the flash version, and the feather beta is a more minimal layout that isn't confusing at all. Neither on changes the URLs. I can't see why they would make radical test changes like that and randomly drop them on people instead of putting it in test tube.
It isn't important to average users, maybe, but it is to the nerds on/. This is the only mobile Linux distro that takes openness and interop with desktop Linux seriously, so I'll still support it, but I really liked the fact that Maemo was Debian-based

It is just like any other code push to upstream. You get a feature working on your local branch, you push it up. Then go on to the next feature. And this is not a standalone driver, it is just new code for the driver that currently handles r600 and r700.
>I thought that perhaps this had changed something we 'know' about dinosaurs, and failed to see how this was the case.
Yeah, we have known for about 30 years that Dinosaurs are birds, and that hasn't changed. All we have found since then is more specificity in which Dinos where closest to the direct ancestor of Aves, and more evidence (skeletons ever closer to the avian/non-avian boundary on both sides, many theropods had feathers, etc).
While there is a place for long haul electric cars, the right idea is to reduce the number of people traveling long distances, and failing that, get them using trains (or maybe clean planes, if that is possible)

Both, unfortunately

Your links got chopped, the right posts are pretty easy to find right now, but just in case:
Theora on TI C64x+ DSP and OMAP3
This is really cool, and I hadn't seen it before

That's pretty cool stuff right there
For LTE, IPv6 support is required, while IPv4 support is optional

LTE *is* VoIP
>Why on earth would anybody care about voice calls when LTE users should have the speed and bandwidth to handle real VoIP calls?
LTE may not be Skype or Vonage, but it is VoIP:

Intel sold XScale a long time ago. June 2006, in fact, as you would know if you had looked at the link you posted.

Sounds like a Dan Simmons novel
Changing the price will not help the situation in the least.
I believe they embed ffmpeg directly.
As for Mozilla, the stated reason for not using gstreamer/quicktime/directplay is the potential for security exploits in those frameworks
Great .sig, it's one of my favorite quotes

You could have said "Xiph has a fine set of codecs..."

no, it just executes "shutdown -r now"
>(the up to date version of ODF is 2.0).
No, 1.1 is the current version, 1.2 is being worked on and it looks like it ought to be finished this year:

great for you, but exactly what OP *doesn't* want

Every time you post, I think "Man, Slashdot sure is better with Rei around". Thanks.
and none of them support WPA
I think DOCSIS 3 areas might have been assigning IPv6 addresses to cable boxes for a while now.
