Kind of similar concept and could really hurt providers not large enough or able to jump through the hurdles. If there was some kind of multi party agreed upon open platform offering for this very thing it could work out.
I would not want my worst enemy to experience VR with a cheap headset. It takes precision, quality materials, high resolution low latency display panels, tracking, etc. I don't even know why this is a conversation at 350$.. $850? Yes, then I would say hmm. But I'd almost expect even an $850 unit. You're talking about state of the art VR technology that you would not want to put down and it could transform how you even use computers. Let the knockoffs with poor quality components cater to the cheaper crowd. $350 folks! Not $3,500.. Geez
Hierarchies are terrible. Indexed terms with descriptive results you can search through quickly are much better. However, providing both options is a good way for people to be exposed, initially, to what terms are available. The web is a good example of this... of course it would have to be designed to be user friendly.
But I like the latest Gnome, especially out of the box as Antergos, http://antergos.com/ provides it. Gnome shell with extensions works great. I have it configured just like MacOS X (which I am using as I'm on my mac mini right now to post this). I run Antergos on all of my laptops and on ultrafit 64gb sandisk usb drives I can stick into any computer. Extensions install in a single click using firefox. It's blissful and all OSS heaven.
No, it is not. Check out rainbow parens.. also do yourself a favor and count the number in different statements across different languages. There can be, and usually are, barely more. They are way more than made up for by removing a boatload of other syntax and constructs.. Lisp is able to be a lot more elegant because of them.
It had to be said..
Yes, I know, Fedora patches and urxvt (I even maintain a branch with text shadow and transparency), terminator, etc. But come on and include something at least on par with MacOS's terminal. I do love the quake-like terminal plugin for gnome shell and it does transparency without a hitch. Out of box matters and people do want something equivalent to MacOS or hell even Cygwin's mintty. The rest of Gnome / Gnome Shell are doing pretty well except I think Tweak Tool should be a default as well. Otherwise I appreciate the project all together and use it daily once I configure it heavily. The project needs to listen a bit more to its users it definitely could easily make many more people happier with it that way.
you can already tell how disciplined and closed down the entire process really is by the fact popular games people really want over in America do not ever make their way despite massive fan bases. Then this happens and it just reinforces that entire image. Corporate world for the win?
No, I actually have not been to kat.cr before. I tested it with incognito and it comes up also. It's only when I add torrents that it seems to get overloaded with fakes.
Kind of wrong, multiple xboxes is broken on some routers due to bad/old upnp implementations:
Excerpt from: http://www.reddit.com/r/xboxon...
With a good UPNP implementation: The first Xbox asks for port 3074. The second Xbox asks for port 3074 and is told by the router that that port is already in use. The second Xbox then asks for an alternative port.
With a bad UPNP implementation: The first Xbox asks for port 3074. The second Xbox asks for port 3074 and the router then either ignores the request (because 3074 is already in use) or forwards 3074 to the second Xbox, which boots the first Xbox offline.
Actually I think voice recognition significantly speeds up graphical operations (in lame desktop systems and others). It's quicker to say launch XYZ program than having to type the program in or navigate around to it. In combination with the mouse/keyboard, voice can be a third extra navigation factor that really speeds up interaction.There are two problems with it, however. One is looking/feeling like an idiot talking to your computer all day. Second, training time for the computer and you. You have to learn terms the software uses in order to use it at all. Most people barely learn enough to use applications they use every day. A majority of regular computer users do not know key combinations or even set key combinations for apps they use regularly.
We're still using the desktop metaphor for interfaces.. until we change this and integrate the voice nav software (like IBM tried with OS/2), I do doubt we'll see a serious surge in uses of voice nav. I actually used voice nav in OS/2 Warp 4 quite often.. it was nice!
It'd be funny to see if someone did post an auction for the magazine and AMD and Intel got in a bidding war. Possibly even funnier if IBM came along and took it right out from under both of them.

Doesn't everyone know by now that Photoshop can run in WINE pretty well? It installs and runs from scratch without use of any WINDOWS dlls in fact. I use PS7 daily since that is what I started graphics with, still can't get use to GIMP. It is slightly slower and it will crash if you try to resize some dialogs, but other than that it works great.
"So, it seems to me more an issue with TOras license, than Trolltechs. For example, I fail to see how it should be incompatible with the GPL to link a product with a commercial library, when you don't distribute it."
The GPL has nothing against use of its binaries or code with any other license. Only distribution. There is no way, if Tora indeed has such an extra restriction, that their license is straight GPL.
You just compared copyright law to slave labor. Yes I know you meant well by trying to point out some possible false information in that I said old laws and their [lesser] restrictions would be better than today's laws and their [greater] restrictions. Such a common knee jerk reaction. The everything old doesn't apply today.. "the founding fathers didn't think about toasters running web servers!" arguments. No, what they were thinking about is preventing perpetual and even exceptionally long term control over intellectual works. What they were thinking about is guaranteeing the right to exchange and express ideas in a competitive yet perpetually developing atmosphere.
Tell me what Disney and crew were thinking about when they lobbied the government consistently to extend the laws? Tell me how extending copyright law of 14 years to 100-120 years compares to abolishing slave labor?
Actually, copyright law should be 14 years like it was in the beginning in the USA. Anyone that says otherwise is anti-founding fathers and thus anti-american. Including Bono, MPAA, RIAA, and Disney and friends. Not that this matters anymore when we've got big business/big government passing roughly 30k new laws each year. The entire check and balance system of the government is almost entirely gone. The only way for progress against the current system is a revolution. Sadly, I think congress/office would nuke entire cities and states before letting that happen. Marshall law would be at least be declared within moments of any uprising.
Project Gutenberg is definitely a good start towards an active collection of works that have no governmental control over them. Obviously you still risk cross country hassles but it's very much worth the cost of such hassle to have IP free works. Sorry for this OT rant: Richard Stallman and other pro-GPL advocates take note, this is your brain on copyright (or copyleft). Avoid the system, don't try to use it against itself.. it'll only end up biting you in the end. If you're so against intellectual 'property' then don't use IP laws to cover your works, release in the public domain.
How exactly does individualism apply to big developments of government sponsored, large corporation developed defense technology? It's exactly the opposite. We use to have an individualist society where everyone had their own farms/land and defended themselves for the most part. Now we have industry and government rule. I think back then moral for the country was much higher. People not willing to die for their country has little or nothing to do with individualism and everything to do with their government they have started to hate. People gave up independence/self reliance so they could have modern industry and more protection (read: laws) from government. It was only a matter of time until the government became a large enough target for control and thus corruption.
Individualism: (1) Belief in the primary importance of the individual and in the virtues of self-reliance and personal independence.
I believe the above is a better description of people 150 years ago in the USA than it is today.
What if he then took that apple, genetically modified it to make it taste better and not have any seeds, and then successfully distributed the fruit everywhere so that most people demanded the new kind of apple. People could in turn only get this apple from the same guy and not distribute/share the apple with anyone else. This would prevent potential developers and users from using, modifying, and distributing the original apple. Imagine if all of the apples in and around your home town were replaced with the new kind. This happened because more people wanted, used, demanded, and developed for this kind of apple because of the modification.
This is a great comment with a lot of insight. This is exactly the problem with the GNOME/KDE methodology. They aren't just developing interface neutral libraries but all of the work they are doing includes a good deal of interface specifics within the library code as well. Imagine if we could use the features out of GNOME and KDE without being tied to a "desktop" oriented interface. We could instead use the same features in a text program, graphical program, web services program, etc. Instead as it is, we just get a bunch of libraries and programs that all assume they'll be running one way, the GNOME or KDE way. The same way Windows works. Integration within GNOME and KDE and with other programs "outside the system" is just like it is today, almost non-existant and a complete afterthought.
Also good for running under screen is centericq.. but it uses a windowed ncurses interface that is somewhat crummy imo. It is nice to have an up to date list of nicks that are currently on in a left pane always visibile. I'm sure this can be done in irssi but I don't want to take the time out to do it yet. But anyway, centericq supports everything GAIM does and also RSS/livejournal feeds. Let's hear it for the text clients! I don't need any widgets, gradients, menus, or smilie icons crowding what should be a purely textual interface. I don't get people who use graphical text clients.. Besides, I can run cicq or irsii+bitlbee on a server and have 24/7 contact capabilities.
