Showing a page in an IFRAME is really no different from viewing it in, say, an ad-supported webbrowser (like older versions of Opera).
Yes, it's quite different. It's same only if you have the habit of downloading random web browsers, the way you browse random web pages. You have to trust web browser much more than you have to trust a random web page, since web browser has access to everything you do online with it. Clickjacking, XSS & co are real.
I guess hogel is simply a holographic voxel. So comparing them would be roughly like comparing ordinary flat photograph to ordinary flat hologram. If not, then yeah, hogel is more or less synonym for voxel...
Well, actually I mostly agree, except with the special (but unfortunately not too uncommon) case of having a laptop with a poorly supported WLAN chipset needing a closed driver... Often leading to the all-too-common dilemma of needing Internet access to get Internet access... My above post was specifically in relation to TFA, and how it demonstrates, if you install Linux, be preparted to Google for solutions to obscure problems, or be satisfied with poor performance and bad rep for Linux.
I think affected users are demanding a fix for a bug. They won't much care what the fix is or where the bug is, they just want their po... email on the go.
Solution to your "move from one machine to another" thing would be to tie certain settings to certain hardware signature. If signature changes, revert settings to safe values at boot. It would be a very useful thing to have overall, until the happy day comes when there are no hardware or firmware or software bugs in the world.
Also, apparently there is a software fix to this particular issue: replace the OS with something which works with the hardware;)
I was talking about the entire (partially overlapping, of course) ecosystems, you're taking an individual piece of software, so I'd say my case is stronger. But of course if a company is going to adopt an abandoned open source project, then they are more likely to prefer BSD license. It depends on a type of the software, and whether an individual or a business is expected/hoped to pick it up.
There are people who are reluctant to put effort into a project, which can be just taken by a company and put into a closed source product. And looking at the size of GNU/Linux world, compared to xBSD world, I'd say there are more of these people, than people who'd rather contribute to BSD licensed project. So switching to GPL might improve chances of the project staying alive.
I'm pretty sure it will be Qt Quick, meaning QML and javascript, not boring old widgets. Nokia's continuing investment in hw accelerated Qt Quick wouldn't make much sense otherwise. They can't use it on Win phones, and Maemo/Meego and Symbian aren't something to put much future investment in. So what's left for Nokia to use Qt Quick with? This.
I believe it'll be a "Qt phone" more than a Linux phone. It could just about as well use Windows kernel, except it'd cost money, and there probably even isn't suitable Windows kernel for the purpose, I doubt Win8 kernel without Metro would make much sense really, since those two have been more or less designed to go together, and also I believe Windows kernel hackers are in somewhat more short supply than Linux kernel hackers...
Another thing is, with Qt-based solution, Nokia has complete control over SDK, which currently is a single Qt SDK installer (which can install everything, so online version of the installer is highly recommended...).
Can I ask why not? Java is a pretty good language, the tools are all free, it have lots and lots free open source libraries, and it runs pretty sweet on millions of Android phones.
The only down site is JavaME, so it would be good to chose Android, the DalvikVM, Harmony, or OpenJDK. Nokia is big enough to make patent deals with Oracle, but if I were a shop in every other country but the USA, I would chose one of the 4 for my smartphone.
Because GP post specifically mentioned "a Desktop Linux-compatible toolkit", FYI: Android does not use any of the Java Desktop GUI toolkits, and I believe there's no actual support for making desktop applications with Android's GUI toolkit.
But I must admit that it could end up like fusion. We have all the basic theoretical knowledge of how to do fusion, and we can do a bit of fusion in the lab, what we lack is the engineering knowledge to achieve enough fusion on a large enough scale to make it practical.
It could also be, that we don't lack just the engineering knowledge, we lack the universe with suitable physical laws... But hopefully not.
It's much easier and cheaper to deorbit by bringing it down and letting gravity do the work.
Nitpick: letting air resistance do the work.
With a bit of twisted thinking, gravity is actually the problem here! It's what keeps dead satellites in orbit, instead of letting them harmlessly escape into deep space.
I never quite got this command line fetish (and I mean here bash). You're supposed to to simple things in the commandline, if you need something more complicated then use a proper scripting language like Python or Perl. And people shared Python/Perl snippets from the beginning of time.
The thing with command line, doing the "more complicated" thing is often just adding an extra switch to relevant command, or adding an extra command to a pipe, or something. And it's no co-incidence that the command usually have the switches needed to do whatever "more complicated" thing needs to be done.
But I guess the most obvious proof of the value of bash and the like is, at least I don't know anybody who uses Perl or Python as their shell interpreter. There must be some reason for it. And if bash is good enough for doing whatever one-liners interactively, then putting a series of already-tried one-liners into a shell script follows quite naturally, and sounds more sensible than re-writing the thing they do in an entirely different scripting language.
Apart from the whole absurdity of starting a PC hardware selling business, which has extremely thin margins already, and where the buyer would expect to get the device cheaper without windows, I'm sure getting the manufacturing plant to install any disk image prior to shipping the box would not be a problem.
The interesting question is, how much is MS paying Casio to pay them and create news about it? Is it a deal like, Casio pays X, and gets 2X discount on whatever MS licenses they actually need?
It may be better to expose yourself to small quantities of these bacteria, so that your body and gut flora is used to dealing with them. So I wouldn't be paranoid, just handle food and kitchen cleanness in the normal, tidy way. Whatever bacteria gets through, your body can cope with. Especially with antibiotic-resistant bacteria around, it's important that human body can deal with them without the aid of antibiotics.
Same thing with abstinence vs. condoms. Obviously, abstinence is more effective than sex with condoms in preventing unwanted pregnancies/STDs/AIDS. That is truth. But health authorities insist it's better to teach condom use rather abstinence. That's "cathechism".
Abstinence might be effective, sort of like, slightly adjusting Suns output would be effective at controlling climate change.
But teaching abstinence, nah, that will not be effective at all. Maybe if you combined it with medical treatments to suppress sex drive of teenagers...
wait a minute. My wife is pregnant at 10 weeks. We went for a 7 week checkup and the heartbeat had already formed and was beating 167 bpm. Also the head and brain was forming, feet and arms as stubs. Are you telling me this isn't a living person? By the way the heartbeat is formed 18 days after conception. Is it a baby when hair grows? eyes open? are you suggesting that a baby doesn't have rights until out of the womb?
Well, it's still just a piece of tissue, and the heart isn't "complete", it's just the "incomplete" (at least compared to fully developed human heart, not so much if compared to something like an earthworm heart) muscle beating.
But IMO that's beside the point. Once we know there's a human developing in a womb, and we take action to end this development, we actively erase a human life. So then the hard question is, when do we have a right to make such a decision, decide that this individual shall not exist? We seem to have the right to end human life in war, in self-defence, when in a situation we have to decide who lives and who dies (reality for doctors, fire fighters, etc), sometimes when deciding about euthanasia or "pulling the plug"... So clearly the answer isn't automatic "no, we never have the right".
I'm just glad I'm not likely to need to make such a decision...
Furthermore, the comment about "you don't have an option..." seems to indicate that what the commenter is objecting to is that the version is irredeemably "broken" (that is, that there is no quick patch to fix the modifications made), which seems to be to be an egregious error. If you're going to try to get people to pay for your game, don't put out an unfixable, broken version that would force them to redownload the entire game if they wanted to play the "proper" version.
Uh... Didn't check the download size, but I don't think re-downloading the game would make an average pirate with average home broadband even blink. Last century, sure. Last decade, maybe. But today, no. Well, unless they wanted to blink on principle.
In building a balance that will motivate multiple parties to participate, you have to consider all of their needs. In the case of HPCC's needs, this allows them to continue to own their entire product, and to list their entire product as an asset.
And you seriously thing that is going to motivate multiple parties to participate? They're free to suggest what ever licensing or copyright deals, and everybody else is free accept it, but also free to laugh at their face.
It doesn't matter. Every devout Muslim should do all their calculations in the reference frame of Mecca, every devout Catholic in the refrence frame of the Pope, and every devout Apple owner in the reference frame of Steve. Others should choose equally suitable centre of universe, and stop being hypocrites when doing math.
Mega Watt here, Mega Watt Hour there... what's the difference between friends?
They should use the traditional ((furlongs^2) * (eV / (c^2)))) / (fortnights^2) (1.36962187 × 10^-50 kilowatt hours) when talking about electrical energy, to avoid confusion.

About installing Linux... I've successfully used http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ on top of XP, at least.
No, but if you love your grandma, then you prioritize her over some other stuff...
Yes, prioritise spending time with your grandma over troubleshooting her Linux installation... Be responsible, don't install Linux!

Yeah, if just putting the source out there, then sure, best leave it up to the hypothetical future maintainer.
