It seems to have stagnated, possibly due to immense suspicion from everyone except the single developer. The project had been using modified GPL'd code from freedb without disclosing any substantial source code. It was this issue that caused the head freedb dev (Kaiser) to 'take action' against this guy without the consent of the other two devs who left and AFAIK are now part of neither project.
They seem to have taken it a bit personally if you ask me, but then again there might have been more going on than publically stated.
So Immersion Corporation, bitter that they didn't get the contract to design the PS3 controller and sensing an opportunity to gain press, responds by badmouthing Sony.
1) It has everything to do with TFA since it still (AIUI) seems to be working on the 'make a copy' principle. This process does not involve destruction of the original, but if one wishes to transport something this would be a logical next step.
2) You wouldn't have to. The aforementioned Professor X would be waiting to do that. No need to bother with the prisoner dilemma.
What would the process look like from/your/ perspective? Do you think your point of view would move from one side of the room to the other as the copy was made?
So if professor X made something with the same quantum state as you and it stood there looking at you, would you have any objections to X shooting you in the face since, well, you're still over there?
Does this mean that people with lesser browsers will no longer be subjected to epilepsy-inducing banner ads inviting them to give all their money away?
Wait, this move could really hurt firefox adoption.
Frankly I don't really care about 20-50 megabytes of memory, or 5% of my processor usage, or even 100% of my idle processor usage.... until you receive your next power bill.
It's possible. Or perhaps Sony just makes their laptops correctly so as to not put undue stress on their batteries.
I've had several PSUs die here, killing the host motherboards. In some cases investigation revealed that there was nothing wrong with the design of the PSUs, but the motherboards were wired not to use the 3.3V line, opting instead to use the 5V line and stepping it down on-board with regulators. This resulted in too much current being pulled down the 5V line, exceeding the PSU specs and blowing it, but not before sending a fatal surge to the MB/CPU.

Well they should fit right in here on
Really? I'm curious, what didn't you like about it?
I actually liked it a lot more than IX - Insurrection and V - The Final Frontier.
This sort of thing gives some justification for enforcing the .xxx domain.
.xxx at the corporate firewall and a big part of your problem goes away.

Well you know that information might have been a little more useful to me YESTERDAY!!!
Umm, is its neck supposed to bend back like that?
Two problems:
1) There is no Linux GPU client (yet)
2) Many gamers who use Linux have gone nVidia due to driver support. There is no nVidia client (yet)

Animation does have other uses you know, often to convey information that would be very difficult on a static page:

As is most often the case, it's not the format that's the problem, it's what people use it for:

Oh wait.
Not all code in the kernel forfeits the "or later" clause:

That's why I don't think I'll ever be selling my humble Fujitsu Ten (aka Toyota) head unit, with its front-mounted 3.5mm AUX jack.
My little Samsung plugs right in and plays oggs with no quality loss.
That is, until the signal gets to my tinny door-speakers.
Dead-mans switch on the toilet flusher? Surely most elderly people would use this every day (and night).
I've never heard of Standard Candle, but I really don't know what Supernova would have against them.
Perhaps they're still miffed that Tommy Lee et al borrowed their name for a reality show recently...
Are you sure that receiving 10^4 spoons when one needs a knife isn't ironic?

Quite probably not, but if one more laptop goes missing I bet they'll start looking in Mr Lucas' direction.
Can you hear yourself? It's not irregular because it's a greek word?
We're talking English here, thank you
Vinyl has already outlived 8-tracks and cassettes. Why is it surprising that it will outlive CD?
It's surprising because Vinyl gave arguably better sound than 8-track and cassettes.
