Not completely castrating the sector that has a good chance of helping them out of this mess just shows that there still have to be a few brain cells left in the French government.
Just nuke the patent system sky high and put all patent lawyers against the wall. By now that's probably the only way to ever get out of this fucking mess.
For one project we currently have about 3000 nettops in the wild, which are running XP to basically just play Flash content for ads.
The only reason we're now considering to upgrade the OS is the nearing EOL. Full-screen Flash on Linux is such a pain in the ass that we've only running a few systems for mere research purposes.
A decent understanding of the matter is in their best interest and it doesn't hurt that it'll also make things easier for their tech employees down the road.
Sounds familiar. We're currently in the preparation phase to migrate over two thousand Atom-based devices at customer locations all over the country to Linux.
Look at Crysis 2. What's the use of high-quality graphics if you just end up with a half-assed rail shooter whose foundation has been crippled beyond recognition so the console kiddies can make it past the first handful of enemies?
Pretty much. Often it's not even the topic itself, but how advanced mathematics can teach people to analyze complex problems, select a suitable method and then devise a solution.
Be it advanced physics or complex software engineering, knowing the basics and having the right mindset can make the difference between sink or swim.
Slashdot Mirror
Did it come from Mars cows and when can we turn them into burgers?
Just convict them to forfeit all revenue generated in the UK until they comply with the order. You'll be surprised how fast Apple will get it right.
The number of MBAs in the valley has probably reached critical mass.
They probably still have a shitload of high-resolution equipment above the US anyway. Might as well get some money out of it.
We have better PR hacks.
In this day and age it's kinda amazing to still find admins who can't even script enough to take some of those annoying petty tasks off their hands.
^^ I yet have to see a tablet that can keep up with twin octocores and a set of Quadros. Then again, that's technology that's used for real work.
You're new here?
Not that patient. I'll settle for Wanking Walrus.
If it goes wrong it'll still set a record for the most expensive attempt to dig a hole to China without the use of a shovel.
Depending on the result of the investigation that's at least one CO's career that's down the drain.

SUSE (still on 3.5" floppies)
Debian
Red Hat
Ubuntu
CentOS
SUSE, again (then under Novell rule),
Xubuntu
Debian
Mint
Nowadays I've come to prefer Debian for my servers and Mint for everyday desktops.
At least, once people like the ones that upgraded the Freespace engine to more modern standards get ahold of ths one.
Google was acting like Microsoft and as a result MS expects people to use a Microsoft product instead?

By now they're not even trying anymore.
Just merge it with Ubisoft and move their new headquarters to Mordor.
Same here, but since it's not some useless eye candy the issue is probably pretty low on their todo list.

Just make sure the tablet UI mode stays optional. We don't need another Gnome3/Unity.
