  1. Re:It only makes sense. on AMD Develops New Linux Open-Source Driver Model · · Score: 1

    Linux has roughly 10% of the desktop market in the United States.

    Do you like to pull numbers from your ass?

    If Apple only has around 10% of the desktop marketshare in the USA, Linux has 0.1% at best. In some European countries such as The Netherlands, however, I'm pretty sure Apple's marketshare is much lower and Linux is much higher.

  2. Re:Does AMD still matter? on AMD Develops New Linux Open-Source Driver Model · · Score: 1

    I'd be interested in knowing the true numbers because all AMD videocards prices have gone through the roof in the last few months. As an example, the ASUS R9 270X was available for around 240$CAD in january but today it's selling for 289$CAD after a peak of 329$CAD a few weeks ago.

  3. VIA? on AMD Develops New Linux Open-Source Driver Model · · Score: 1

    Is VIA still in the race, at all? Last VIA I heard about was the C7, so it's been a hwile.

  4. Re:Intel on AMD Develops New Linux Open-Source Driver Model · · Score: 3, Informative

    Hell, a 40$ APU from AMD beats anything Intel has to offer for almost twice as much, not to mention that even at that price the AMD has a decent GPU while the Intel has none at all.

  5. AMD on AMD Develops New Linux Open-Source Driver Model · · Score: 2

    Better integrated GPUs in lower-cost CPUs. Why choose Intel?

  6. Re:They checked without a warrant on They're Reading Your Mail: Microsoft's ToS, Windows 8 Leak, and Snooping · · Score: 2

    Companies can write all the terms they want, they shouldn't be able to override the laws already in place.

  7. It's not hyped at all on Docker Turns 1: What's the Future For Open Source Container Tech? · · Score: 1

    I had never heard of "Docker" before today, nor heard any hype about it.

  8. Game Boy Classic beats them all on Oppo's New Phone Hits 538 PPI · · Score: 1

    160x144, bitches!

  9. How about a list of websites? on Some Sites That Blue Coat Blocks Under "Pornography" · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Here's a list of all the pornographic websites in the world:
    google.com
    yahoo.com
    bing.com

  10. with 4K this year being as affordable to the poor people ($120K a year or lower)

    Can you tell me which fairy land you live in because in Canada, under 20$K is poor.

  11. Re:This whole thing seems like an ad for the Wii U on Is This the End of Splitscreen Multiplayer, Or the Start of Its Rebirth? · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that Nintendo did it right, the display on that big controller is simply amazing, it really is a secondary display big enough to game on and not just a small one that's only good enough to display a player's stats.

  12. Forget Windows and Linux on Linux May Succeed Windows XP As OS of Choice For ATMs · · Score: 2

    They should be developing their own OS anyway. I guess they'll call it ATMOS.

  13. Screw the Moon, screw Mars on Back To the Moon — In Four Years · · Score: 1

    I say we go to Saturn and build a base there!

  14. Re:Pothead banking isn't safe on MtGox Finds 200,000 Bitcoins In Old Wallet · · Score: 1

    We're talking about BitCoin, not LeafCoin or PotCoin.

  15. Re:BS on MtGox Finds 200,000 Bitcoins In Old Wallet · · Score: 2

    That's not a very safe place to keep your wallet.

  16. Multiple platforms on DirectX 12 Promises Lower-level Hardware Access On Multiple Platforms · · Score: 1

    Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows RT.

  17. Re:A Cure At Last on Pine Tree Has Largest Genome Ever Sequenced · · Score: 2, Funny

    If they succeed, it will bring a whole new meaning to "morning wood".

  18. Why bow-ties? on How Did Bill Nye Become the Science Guy? · · Score: 2
  19. Re:Iris Pro is a white elephant on Intel Announced 8-Core CPUs And Iris Pro Graphics for Desktop Chips · · Score: 1

    And instead of a power-hungry R7 260X room heater, you could get a cool nVidia GTX 750TI.

  20. Re:Videos with ads or claims on Firefox 28 Arrives With VP9 Video Decoding, HTML5 Volume Controls · · Score: 1

    Change your user agent to iPad, a lot of those will work anyway.

  21. Re:CSS variables? on Firefox 29 Beta Arrives With UI Overhaul And CSS3 Variables · · Score: 2

    But since we need ALL browsers to support CSS variables, in the same manner, it means we won't be able to use that before around 2024 because of Microsoft.

  22. Re:CSS sucks on Firefox 29 Beta Arrives With UI Overhaul And CSS3 Variables · · Score: 2, Informative

    I guess the top parent never learned anything about content vs presentation.

    Hint: tables are to be used for tabular data. If you'd write your data inside an Excel sheet, use a table. Otherwise, don't.

  23. Mac mini on Intel Announced 8-Core CPUs And Iris Pro Graphics for Desktop Chips · · Score: 0

    Is Apple waiting for these new CPUs to release an updated Mac mini? It's been quite 513 days since the last update.

  24. Re:strange priorities ... unless they already knew on Tor Project: Fake Tor App Has Been In Apple's App Store For Months · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Typical American knee-jerk reaction. Showing a nude body is wrong but showing someone getting shot in the head is normal.

  25. Re:Dynamic typing is a hack on Facebook Introduces Hack: Statically Typed PHP · · Score: 1

    Why do we need to "pack" and "unpack" the data? In any sane programming language, you can access the bytes directly as an indexed array.

    If you find complex work-arounds "simple", then good for you.
