Who said anything about Canonical? Did Canonical ask the GRUB team to declare it stable? I merely mentioned the fact all the major distributions had adopted it long before it was released.
They should have declared it stable long ago, when all the major distros have adopted it for release after release it's time to move on. Sure, there must have still been bugs but that's where point releases come in handy.
The Apple smartphone will finally have feature-parity with other smartphones one-to-two generations after the fact? This must have never happened before!
To quote Steve Jobs, “It isn’t the consumers’ job to know what they want."
90% of the code used in the Linux driver is shared with the Windows driver, that was a claim made by one of their developers on their forums I read a year or so ago. Open sourcing the code is out of the question as all of that code isn't just from internal employees, as getting everyone who has written lines of code to agree to their code being available under a open source licence would be a huge task. Documentation would be great, there's the issue of IP though there. To be fair to Nvidia, they actively support Linux, I've used their cards for years and have never had much of an issue, in the old days, it was just a matter of shutting X11 and running their installer, it built the kernel module and you were good to go. Nowadays every distro I've used has the packages ready out of the box. I think Linus pain comes simply from running pre release kernels and expecting them to be supported before their even released! Nvidia normally provide patches in these situations anyway so I don't understand what Linus really wants them to do.
This stops the chance of another dot-com bubble forming. Facebook was overvalued, if they can very quickly show how they can create an increase in revenue they'll be fine and continue to strive though.
Give you Lost for an example, I was hooked to it from the first season. I watched the first mabey 3 or 4 episodes on TV then started downloading them because through the show there was a delay of less than a week. What's the incentive to wait though? Nothing. I can also watch whenever I want instead of when they want to show it.
We know it has other uses, it's use however is downloading stuff we shouldn't. It's a silly argument. The only time Ubuntu really push Bittorrent downloads in on release day.
A lot of the people who contribute to Mozilla do so because of their their belief in libre software in which they found through the Linux. Linux isn't just enother platform, it is much more valuable to the Mozilla, their foolish if they can't see that.
could pull such an idea off, they originally tried it with Android and got nowhere, albeit in the mobile industry they had carriers to deal with too. They will probably try it again in a couple of years with Chrome OS, I remain sceptical it can work. Apple didn't and still doesn't have the muscle in the advertisement business to do such a thing.

I would just be lucky you have an IPV6 address, very surprised AT&T are that far forward in giving ordinary users one. Kudos to them I guess.
All of these accidents and mistakes, yet we are supposed to believe all of these actions have been unintentional. I call bullshit Google.
Idiots.
It says "APP PREVIEW"
What a stupid article.
Lederman wanted to call it "the goddamn particle" it was his editor we have to thank for the stupid name.
He could have told his editor he didn't like the name, couldn't he?
He did.

Can't prove it but we all know this is another one of Microsoft's proxy wars.

What Ubuntu has been referring to as Grub2 was Grub1.9x, a pre-release of Grub2. What the OP means is their dropping it because of legal issues around GPLv3, on Windows 8 approved hardware they won't be able to keep the private signing key, private which would result in their certificates being revoked. http://www.extremetech.com/computing/131628-canonical-explains-decision-to-ditch-grub-2-on-uefi-systems

Sadly, that fact is true. The iPad proved it.
what's the most annoying feature Windows has? Nice one Fedora.

You win the be funny battle.
Further proof towards geniuses are normally mad.

Yes, because the American government is so lovely.
on facebook you'll already know this. If you aren't, chances are you don't care.

Well that makes me feel like an idiot. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Since when did the kernel and desktop mean the same thing? The huge majority and all the important parts of OS X's user land is closed source.
They'll demand you add them as a friend!
