A display where the resolution would smoothly get lower on the outside would be really cool. One could make such a thing out of a projecting display (beamer) and a simple lens.
The only problem would be how to support in in your graphics card. That would have to be done in the driver. And many games rely on it being properly continuous and the same everywhere. Or it would be like millions of those cuts that you get between two monitors.;)
One giant main monitor. A set of up to six satellite monitors that are freely movable around the outside and hold palettes. tools, widgets, desk-/applets. etc. An optional second main monitor. And a tactile surface display with actual morphable elevations that supports all setups. The tactile monitor and the main monitor can optionally be one continuing surface, so that the task bar's buttons would seamlessly fit to the other key rows, etc. That's what I wait for.
Oh, and if you can offer me two DataHands with a built-in small Space Orb between each thumb and index finger, then you can leave the tactile monitor away.
My will they have a dumb look on their faces whey they first try to actually play a shooter on that setup, and the cross is exactly at the horizontal edge.
What's a BlackBerry? What's a Windows Mobile phone?
No, I know what they are. But why bring out the obscure ones?
Oh, I know, because on my Symbian phone, I can "install and tweak whatever I want"(TM), including anti-phishing stuff.:) (Hmm, I think that's even possible on those two systems above.)
From what I know about FUSE, I know that CUSE for sound will be completely useless!
This is, because FUSE is slow as hell. And there is no chance to make it faster. Now add to this the problem, that sound needs a *way* faster reaction time and extremely small delays, and you got a recipe for disaster.
I don't think CUSE got a chance replacing OSS4 and realtime Jack on a realtime kernel.
Well, that's a simple one to answer, if you understand free software:
Nobody cared. And developers only program things that they actually care about. Why would they do shit they don't like for free? If you cared about it, what stopped you from making them care, by giving them some money? Because don't look a gift horse in the mouth.:)
[...] only certain combinations of endpoints can possibly work. You can't plug the host controller of one PC into another, since they're only expecting to talk to devices, not another controller.
Not so with Linux. You can enable the "USB gadget" driver in the kernel. Now if you have a device connector in your system, it can act like any other device. That is how Linux on small devices connects to their hosts via USB. And actually, the way they communicate is plain and simple TCP/IP.:)
But Pulseaudio is a piece of shit! Especially for making music. It's another pointless layer of inner platform. Just as all those others. Like ESD, arts, etc...
We need OSS4 in-kernel, plus proper and simple Jack integration and configuration from the start. That's it.
All these things are easily solved by natural selection. So let it do its job. You are not competent to find a better way in so much less than the billions of years that that process had to optimize anyway.:)
Remember that every idiot or genius you help, is an idiocy or ingenuity whose survival you support. And every genetically inferior or superior lifeform that you help, is a mutation whose survival you support. So choose wisely, because it's you who will define the future of humanity.

There's not much air conditioning going on in Germany in the summer. Maybe for two weeks we use some fans, and in the rest it's not that warm to turn on any aircon or fans. It's also not that cold in winter anymore. A friend of mine basically uses no heating or cooling at all during the whole year, because his apartment is pretty well isolated by being on the first floor of a high-rise.

Is it about how singularity can't happen because it is naturally limiting itself? Like growth of anything is limited by resources, and will end in a balance? And like the effects of nearing singularity will deprive one of the resource to be able to do things, resulting in the same balance?:)

No. It will realize the core philosophies of Buddhism. One of them being that change is the only thing that really is (="exists") and has meaning. So creation and destruction are irrelevant.:)

It is true. I have this problem of reasoning too much about things too. It comes with being highly intelligent but emotionally crippled. Fortunately, I found back to my emotions.
But those post-action justifications are a well-known concept and as far as I know established and proven.

Or as we on the Internet say: FAIL!
I read that as "Ukranian-eating overlords", and for a second thought Borat's brother would be in trouble.
Never. Because people want to be the winners in natural selection, and everything else does not matter in the end? Duh!
Think of ideas/mindsets/realities as lifeforms, and you will understand many things.
I have one for you: OTHER HUMANS.
*TADAAA*

When is the last time you changed something (true or untrue) on Wikipedia and it actually stayed?
Uuum... those controllers are standardized! That way you can have a generic driver.
Just as there are UHCI, OHCI and EHCI controllers, there is one for USB 3.0. I think that's the point.
How else would USB 3.0 support be implemented in Linux right now?

the iphone in general contains far less than what is provided in a real smartphone so this doesn't come as a surprise to me.
There, fixed that for ya!

The bubble is complete!
The dotcom bubble 2.0 is FINALLY complete!
Now we just need to wait for all those midlife-crisis managers rushing to invest in it...

By installing Windows on them! *BA-DUM-TISH*
