    Firefox OS Will Become the Mobile OS To Beat

    My post was at +5, now it's at +2 once the OpenBSD friends were rallied :/

    Do you realize your project would be more successful and provide more value to the community if you weren't such an asshole?

    If you don't use a Samsung Android phone, I commend your spirit of adventure. It's not worth the hassle for me.

    Really? This attitude basically negates all that is wonderful about Android.

    Just build a makeshift faraday cage around their modem and run your ethernet out to your router/AP :)

  7. Re:So what happens on Comcast Turning Chicago Homes Into Xfinity Hotspots · · Score: 1

    You rent the modem, not lease it. There is a difference, ala renting vs leasing a car.

    Make sure its far enough away from your own AP, even if they're on different channels they should be at least 1 meter apart.

    Doesn't explain why the OS X version works as well as the Windows one.

    Obscure OS that both their useless netbook OS and their rather awesome phone/tablet OS are based on :/

    ChromeOS, GPU acceleration always! Same hardware and drivers but not horribly tied to the Google Cloud? Nope.

    What has ESR done in the last decade for the open source community? Well he has spread a lot of ignorant and hurtful ideas outside of the open source community...

    The new one is proprietary DICE failure.

    As I woman I have trouble labeling myself a feminist today because of the very vocal 'feminists' who really want exactly what you are describing. I just want equal pay, equal time off (give men mat leave too if they so choose), equal respect.

    Given how much they touted the controller, the research, the manufacturing iterations, etc: it is really *bad*. Input isn't lag free, buttons don't feel good, the quality in your hand is quite low. That is what made me most disappointed :/

    Sure, but strings representing the next-gen AppleTV have already showed up in iOS builds. Controller support is there. The rest is less concrete :)

    Actually with the iOS 7 controller support, this has been rumoured for the next generation AppleTV for quite some time. All sources point to an overhaul of the AppleTV later this year as well, likely related.
