  1. Antitrust? on Google, Dropbox, and Others Forge Patent "Arms Control Pact" · · Score: 2

    How is this not considered a trust, cartel or collusion? I mean, there was specifically a "United States v. Motion Picture Patents Co" Supreme Court case.

  2. Yes. Github. on Can Valve's 'Bossless' Company Model Work Elsewhere? · · Score: 2

    Github also has a flat organization structure. Read: http://www.elezea.com/2012/06/user-centered-organizations/

  3. I can only assume gnome3 on GNOMEbuntu Set To Arrive In October · · Score: 1

    That's still a no-go for me. Nothing has hit me as better than Gnome2 with DivergenceIV Empire Strikes Back. I'm real hopeful for Mate/Cinnamon again with DivergenceIV.... I'll probably install Mint on my next Laptop next year and just go through the grind of learning how to customize it. Though, I may decide to become an adult and simply use Arch.

  4. SIMD for the Win! on Chinese Lab Speeds Through Genome Processing With GPUs · · Score: 1

    SIMD chips will always show computational gains to any class of problem that makes significant use of matrix multiplication or linear algebra. So graphics, crypto, etc..

  5. Kidsruby loves RaspberryPi !!! on Arduino Goes ARM · · Score: 1

    We at http://kidsruby.com/ have gotten Ruby running on one of these. We showcased our work at this past http://gogaruco.com/ vid here: http://confreaks.net/videos/637-gogaruco2011-kidsruby-think-of-the-children These are extremely lightweight in terms of processing, but we got both debian and archlinux up and running after just a bit of work. We have further optimizations planned and are very excited to be working with the RaspberryPi team.

  6. Lee Circle in New Orleans on Roundabout Revolution Sweeping US · · Score: 1

    Lee Circle in New Orleans has been around for a LONG time as far as things in the US. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Circle It was previously named Tivoli circle, which a quick bit of research says it was there at the very latest since the early 1850's.

  8. Numbers and Symmetry: An Introduction to Algebra on Mathematics Reading List For High School Students? · · Score: 1

    Numbers and Symmetry: An Introduction to Algebra by Bernard L. Johnston, Fred Richman http://www.amazon.com/Numbers-Symmetry-Introduction-Bernard-Johnston/dp/084930301X Easy to read, very handy. I wish I had this book when I was a kid.

  9. Origins of the Great Clone War of 2012 on Monkey's Thoughts Make Robot Walk · · Score: 1

    Scientists have now given the powers of the Robot to the Monkey. Now it is time for scientists to splice the DNA from Pirates and Ninjas. In the future, armies of Robot-Monkeys will battle the clone armies of the Ninja-Pirates for the fate of all mankind.

  10. Was this orginally in the submitter's blog? on eBay's Ill-Timed Lifetime Achievement Webby · · Score: 1

    Wow, talk about a sad, sad case of an editorial masquerading as a bit of news. ~a

  11. Net Neutrality on Blue Security Gives up the Fight · · Score: 1

    So, are the ISP's gonna do something about this in their "Net Neutrality" fight? I mean, most of the traffic out there has to be Spam, viruses and whatnot. Why are they not mentioned? Oh, I know because the entire case of the ISP's are Bullsh@#t.

  12. Faulty suppositions on Steve Jobs and the State of Legal Music Downloads · · Score: 1
    David Bowie predicted that, because of the Internet and piracy, copyright is going to be dead in ten years. Do you agree? No. If copyright dies, if patents die, if the protection of intellectual property is eroded, then people will stop investing. That hurts everyone. People need to have the incentive so that if they invest and succeed, they can make a fair profit. But on another level entirely, it's just wrong to steal. Or let's put it this way: It is corrosive to one's character to steal. We want to provide a legal alternative.


    I don't know Mr. Jobs' motivation for making this comment. It may be that he truly believes this. It may be that he has to make this statement to protect himself. Investment is not solely hinged upon intellectual property, copyrights, patents, et al. It is true that the marketplace would need to alter its practices to accomidate intellectual property, however, commerce shall continue. There is no inherent right for anyone's business model to remain intact. One can argue that certain changes can be catyclismic for the greater society, but for individual businesses their rights do not supercede the rights of any other legal entitiies, public or private. It appears Mr. Jobs suffers from the same myopia that rest of the recording industry has....

  13. The Thing, Mister Fantastic... on MySQL Creator Contemplates RAM-only Databases · · Score: 1

    Cosmic Radiation? Isn't that how the Fantastic Four got started? I've just named my four Dimm modules Ben, Susan, Reed and Johnny. I can't wait to see my RAM's new super powers.... What DB wouldn't benefit from setting itself on fire at will? Yeah, baby...
