Oracle was being a complete jackass about OO.o, so most all the contributors abandoned it and formed LO. After that, Oracle realized there was no point to holding on to it, so they donated OO.o to Apache. It lives on there, but is moving at a glacial pace compared to LO.

Agreed. And we lose all the window managers, and if you want to write a new one, too bad! You have to write a compositor instead! And don't get me started about the decorations being controlled by the app instead of the WM. Grrr...
So they reverted to the very first definition? Pretty sure it was 100MB/s theoretical DL to be true 4G, then they allowed LTE, which at least still has other cool advantages (latency, IPv6), then they allowed HSPA+ (aka crap) to be called 4G, cause the phone companies where calling it that anyway.

I would say it is harder than mixing and un-mixing a significant amount of Ubuntu into Debian (at one point my Debian system had X, GTK and whatever parts of Gnome I used from Ubuntu. When the next release happened, and Sid started moving again, I switched back to pure Debian).
Your question needs some editing, I think. But it sounds like you want to know if i386 mode on new processors can use the new registers? The answer to that is no.
The only sort of "mixing of modes" (sort of) is x32, which has the cpu set to x64 mode, but only 32-bit pointers are used. This can be useful in some workloads where more than 4GB of address space is not needed, and the smaller and sometimes faster program footprint is beneficial. https://sites.google.com/site/x32abi/

Some people might think that, I do not. Which is why I think we are really fucked, not just kinda fucked.
Well, global warming is real, and we are fucked already, it is just a matter of how fucked we want to be, just somewhat, or really hard. Given how much is happening even in countries not as backwards as the US, I guess we want to be really fucked.
Goddamn you are stupid. People like you arguing against useful improvements have held back Seattle's transit system (generically, including cars) for at least a decade (my history doesn't go back too far, it may be a lot longer). And the next thing in line, the boondoggle know as the tunnel, does nothing except bypass downtown, and not in a useful way even. I'd sit and argue more, but I have better things to do today.
Yep, there is a strong movement of young people to the urban areas, and even a trend of not buying cars, which does not seem to be entirely based on a crap economy.

Yes, and Quartz 2d uses something somewhat related to Display PostScript (though it is PDF, not PS).

Shoot me now.
Agreed. And we lose all the window managers, and if you want to write a new one, too bad! You have to write a compositor instead! And don't get me started about the decorations being controlled by the app instead of the WM. Grrr...
Too bad Wayland is terrible.
Oh. Never mind then.

What's interoperable about PCL?
>HSPA+ proponents rightly said their technology was just as fast as LTE over these blocks
[citation needed]
And doesn't change the fact that UMTS/HSPA sucks tech-wise compared to LTE
No, you are part of the problem. There is no reason to spread Linux to the masses. If they can't appreciate a good thing, fuck 'em.
So they reverted to the very first definition? Pretty sure it was 100MB/s theoretical DL to be true 4G, then they allowed LTE, which at least still has other cool advantages (latency, IPv6), then they allowed HSPA+ (aka crap) to be called 4G, cause the phone companies where calling it that anyway.
> have no idea if 4G is going to make the ping time any shorter.
It will be much shorter. Theoretically HSPA is ~100ms (plain UMTS is even longer), LTE should be about ~5ms
Also, IPv6 and Mobile IPv6 (much better story than Mobile IPv4).
And yes, the ads and analytics are terrible. I have adblock on my phone, I wonder if there is a usable noscript?

There is a big difference between ia32-libs and true multiarch: http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/
That hasn't really been a problem in a long time. I have been running 64-bit flash for years, and there were other solutions before that.

I work for Labinal, usually from inside the 40-88 building, though.
You Boeing as well?
[Puts on some dubstep.]
Cool!
Good thing I don't do that then, isn't it?

If I speed, I can shave about an hour off a 250 mile trip I do a fair bit. 4 hours instead of 5? I'll take it.

Suuure. And we never landed on the moon, and the world is controlled by the Illuminati, who are really trans-dimensional lizard people.

Driving is one of the least pleasant things I do on a regular basis. The other being interacting with Boeing's Day One account system. Ew.
