How far is multiarch support, i.e. being able to install 32 and 64 bit packages along side each other, and that not just on the Intel architecture but any CPUs which support both 32 and 64bits?
It has started to actually work this year in Debian and *buntu distributions (on Debian use testing or unstable). Though you should be warned: You will likely end up with duplicates of all major libraries.
"Rock stars" - we called them divas in my company - are notoriously unmanageable: many of them are temperamental, don't work well with others,
If rock stars programmers work with genuine peers, the diva part of them will be suppressed. It is hard to feel superior when working with people against whom you are just average. Some of them can still lack in social skills(*), but you can often minimize the damages that could cause. Of course as a company you still need to be able to afford top talent and have a project that challenges or otherwise interest them.
Examples I know where it works: WebKit, it has top talent from multiple companies that has to work together and also compete against each other as companies. Qt, a project that needs the best developers to make a product that will impress and please other developers.
(*) In my experience lack of social skills disappears towards the high end of most skill scales. Really smart people often also learn how to interact with other people, even if they are different. Of course well-balanced top-talent costs extra and needs to be head-hunted as they tend to not get fired.
Have you seen the rate of Germany's GDP decrease in the recent years? I think it's hard to claim the USA and UK are falling back when pitted against Germany for that reason.
What are you talking about? One of those three countries still has a solid AAA credit rating and is now loaning money at negative interest, the two others do not (well UK has the rating but has been warned it will fall unless things improve). The country in question is Germany. US is failing and UK is not looking too great either.
No, the dark matter is detected by unseen evenly distributed mass across the universe. The black holes are discovered by unseen by very unevenly distributed mass in the universe.
That, along with a roll of duct tape, some WD-40, a screwdriver and a hammer will get you pretty far in this world.
You don't need a hammer, that's just a luxury item, you can always find something suitable for hitting things with if you need to. Improvising duct-tape and WD-40 is harder, and while some screws can be operated with coins and improvised objects, most can not, and a good screw-driver is also good for much more than just screwing around.
The enemies in Skyrim aren't scaled to your level. This was only the case in Oblivion.
They are scaled to your level, not as much as they were in Oblivion, but more than they were in Fallout 3. Specifically enemies in Skyrim has level onsets (when you will first encounter them), and a scale bracket of levels where it follows the player (so that a common animal does not get scaled to level 50).
Most quest have both the enemies scaled, sometimes that means different enemies, sometimes it means stronger versions of enemies, and in all cases the loot is scaled making it always rather useless.
Huh? You can grind in Oblivion and Skyrim, but what would be the point? The biggest flaw in both games is that all challenges are scaled to your level, so you never need to improve before battling anything or to start specific quests like you do in MMOs. In some ways this is good, in other ways, it makes getting better equipment and leveling up completely pointless, which makes both games unique among RPG by having completely pointless and thereby non-addictive, and non-interesting levelling mechanics.
Linux desktop share is growing faster than Mac OS X is, neither is growing at any impressive rate though, but it is almost 5 years ago now that Mac OS X overtook Linux on the desktop, and more than a few years since it was growing faster.
A very large recent study in Europe found 1/10 having short term complications with circumcision and 1/1000 having suffering serious permanent problems. 1/1000 is not large enough to forbid adults from getting it if they want to, but it is large enough that it has been forbidden on children in Germany and under evaluation for being forbidden in several other countries.
I also thought they might have been editorializing a bit too much in the case, but compared to most US tech news that was drinking the Apple cool-aid, it just seemed like a counter-balance, and since Groklaw still brought in detail analysis of actual legal documents, it was still a great source of news. If nothing else you can use it to predict a lot of the facts Samsung will use to get an appeal, and if you read mainstream US tech news, you wouldn't find any suggestions of anything that would justify an appeal.
But given your response, maybe you are the one that is too emotional involved in the case (and in your phone hardware).
Groklaw might be emotionally committed sometimes, but they are still emphasising facts, bring fact-corrections when they are wrong, and digs into actual legal document like no other journalists does, as long as they keep doing that they will continue to be a source of superior journalism on tech court cases.
It's pretty easy to incorporate and if that automatically gave you residence, it would be free-for-all immigration for anyone who could fill out the paperwork, no?
The problem is the minimum salary. It is not enough to have a job, you need a well-paying job to get a visa, but if you can afford paying yourself or someone else 100000€ a year, I don't think you have problem getting residence anyway.
Self-employed means you work for the company you own. You just need to register your company in a Scandinavian country, employ yourself, and pay yourself a wage high enough that you can get a work visa.
No the statistics show that people talking on the phone (either way) are much more likely to be involved in an accident, and these new statistics that forbidding it, does not help overall.
I tend to suspect that talking, especially hands free, is not that much more of a risk, once you get past the dialing portion of an outgoing call, and driving behavior does not deteriorate during a call.
Your suspicion is wrong. Talking on a hands free device, is just as deteriorating to your driving as talking on a device in your hand. You rarely need two hands to drive anyway.
Try to do that when grub has been configured by default to start up in the same stupid framebuffer mode. Blind hacking in grub is really really tricky.
My sources are in Danish, but just google negative interest, and you will find several sources. Note there is a small handful of countries that has this situation now, Switzerland, Denmark and Germany I know of, and some links mentions Finland and Netherlands.
Investors. The country with the highest tax burden in the world right now, Denmark, is at the moment loaning money at an interest of -0.25%..
YES, that means rich people, very rich people, and investors in general, believe the Danish economy is so healthy they are willing to loan them money at negative interest, just so that Denmark can protect they money for them.
The last comment was about the ThinkPad Edge series. The new ThinkPad ultrabook serie from last year. In those it anti-glare was not an option, (well it was an option two years ago, but not last year).

Linux and OS X market shares are similar in size around 5%.

Breath in - wait 10 seconds - breath out - repeat..
Congratulations you have now broken the record with a sound at 0.1Hz!!!
Btw, everything can be broken down to a fairly broad series of sine waves, it is called a fourier transformation and works on any function.

Well, to speed things up the jury did decide not to read the carefully written 101-pages of instructions to jury, because "they didn't need them".

That is obviously false. The number of traffic fatalities has gone down greatly since they topped in the 1960s, and they continue to fall.

Sorry can't do that, but here are six: Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland and Netherlands.
