The is no issue of PLA spontaneously biodegrading, you have to compost it fairly carefully. (No idea if this is as green as it sounds, it gives off a lot of CO2, recycling should be preferable but the infrastructure isn't yet in place).
It is trivial to use a library developed in a different language. Knowing whether two licenses are truly compatible can only be done in a court of law.
A KBE is a knight of an order of chivalry (the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire), and so out ranks all Knights Bachelor even when they additionally hold junior ranks in an order (such as MBE or CBE). In fact Jonathan Ive like Paul McCartney already had an MBE.
Saying you need something 100% secure or 100% reliable simply tells people you haven't even worked out how you are going to measure security or reliability. First decide how you are going to measure security, then work out the trade off between development time and cost per failure, then you can start talking about what % would make a sensible goal, then you can start asking how to achieve that goal.

MAME Running In Chrome

· Score: 1
99%+ of Android devices use ARM so the current form of NaCL can't work (and it still doesn't actually work on the rest). The Chromebook hardware can't run their current killer-app Bastion (not enough VRAM). They also really mean it when they say ChromeOS doesn't come with any native Apps. The is a small command line shell and SSH (sandboxed but not plain NaCL) and the Browser, nothing else. Currently emscripten's graphics output is too slow to usefully run Mame. A more interesting project would be to compile NaCL with emscripten.
Not to be clinical here but a thousand times as many people now know about the Avenger then before. If the product dose what it is design to, most of its target market (including Dave) won't be put off by a 1 month delay or a poor choice of PR firm. The whole fiasco is almost certainly a net positive for the product's sales.
The relevant signal is the ones and zeros not the square wave. Giving a $1000 to a worthy charity says "I'M RICH", giving it to such an obvious con-artist says "I'M AN IDIOT".
Why the hate? This has 4 times the memory, twice the clock speed and twice the cores of the Pi, of course it isn't going to be less then twice the price. Everything else being equal you might expect nearly 4 times the price (i.e. ~$130) but not only is this already actually available (and we don't know what it will cost once we can actually buy a Pi), but the Raspberry Pi is hoping to operate without profit and to short-cut the economies of scale with large government orders for education. If they achieve that, and it is a big if, then they may well out compete Panda et al. but even then I will be very grateful the higher-end boards are still available.
Given that the copyleft licenses can't be revoked, the amount of copyleft software will never decrease. Also given rapid growth of Android I can't believe that the use of copyleft software has decreased in absolute terms. A better headline may be that the growth of permissive licenses is starting to outstrip the growth of copyleft licenses.
The PS2 version may have tweaked the character models and animation but it doesn't look anywhere close to the original version running on a PC today (thanks to taking full advantage of the native resolution). And that is before you install the user-modified renderers and texture packs that give it a full 'HD' treatment. The PS2 version also had auto-aim and a 'streamlined' UI.
The ability to recognise codes is precisely what they were testing. If they had used a week cryptography code everyone would have cracked it, if they had used a strong code no one could (at least no one who didn't already work for their competition). Utilizing an unexpected but extremely common code seems to be a nice solution.
So longs as their chat server supports: retention, filing/tagging, search, prioritization, attachments, read/unread, synchronous, asynchronous, out-of-office, calendar integration, 'invisible' status, multi-device access, forwarding, delegation, filtering rules, spam blockers, mailing lists with digests, and a couple of dozen more vital features then it will be a great leap forward.
SMTP may be a bit of a silly protocol for an untrusted network but internally it is near perfect. Anyway chucking IMAP and all the rest of our email infrastructure out with the bathwater is just silly.
7!=70 1.7x = Less then the gain you would expect any technology to make every year i.e. not news worthy 70x = Puts them 5 years ahead, in most industries dramatically changing their competitiveness i.e. news
Until used books stores realise used books aren't a very economic fuel source and stop buying them. Then all book lovers realise they have infeasible large piles of books building up which they will never be able to get rid of, and re-reading them becomes more attractive then buying new ones.
Given I am within 20 miles of the centre of London and BT can only offer me 4Mb/300kb (despite charging me for 8Mb/1Mb) I don't think it should be them that is complaining!!!
The high-end smartphones (Galaxy Nexus) are already at 1280x720. Even if they don't improve at all, in the next two years ARM based netbooks are sure to offer full 1080p.
This is so sad, at the right price this could transform the market. Even the tiny old (2"x3") prints are really fun, and nearly everyone is amazed at the simplicity of the system. Without the patent the market price would be 1p-5p a print and would be worth billions. With the patent and 50p for a print it is a total flop.
The architecture (thin v fat client) is tangential to whether you in-source or outsource system administration.
Most of the software we rely-on most is accessed via the browser: Roundcube, Gallery, phpMyAdmin, LDAP Account Manager, Trac, and most importantly our own internal systems.
Once LibreOffice makes the switch my work will probably go days between firing up a GUI besides Firefox.

If you can't tell then why dose it matter?
If you can tell, but your provider is lying then you have bigger problems anyway.
