  1. Indians (specifically Hindus) do not worship cows, the cow is revered, for its milk. Revered != Worship. Nevertheless it is a positive sign that India takes its democracy and its citizens' privacy seriously.

  2. Re: Why doesn't Moz acknowledge the market share i on Firefox 37 Released · · Score: 1

    I have found quite the opposite. I build both firefox and chrome from source, and firefox's performance always lags behind chrome.

    Not to play an apple fanboy or anything but could it possible be that they are blocking the counterfeit cables so that no one gets electrocuted while charging their phone...

  6. Re:"a number of user interface designers" on Designers Criticize Apple's User Interface For OS X and iOS · · Score: 1

    On OS X, System Preference (Mac version of control panel) is "one-click" away, just click once on the Apple icon on the upper right hand corner of your screen and there is there you have the System Preference. Or if you are like me, you keep it in your dock, and its right in your face and again "one-click" away.

    Again just curious. No flaming intended.

  9. Apple should buy/invest in some who makes pda on Rumormongering - Apple Could Buy Nintendo? · · Score: 1

    Rather than buy any game companies, apple should invest in someone who can make a quality pda that goes right along with my ipod, mac book and all the other simplfied computer experiences that I've associated with owning apple products.

  10. Re:building pango is a b*tch on Mac OS X on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    -fPIC is position independent code and its used for compiling shared library. Forget compiling xft2. Try setting the following flag, PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig:/sw/lib/p kgconfig/; assuming your gtk install prefix is /sw. The above variable will point configure to the .pc files which should automatically configure pango to use apple's x11 xft. I think apple X11 has xft support, but I am not sure if about xft2? Nevertheless, pango works, and I do have antialias fonts in gtk. Sorry I am not familair with any gnome-osx mailing lists.

  11. Re:building pango is a b*tch on Mac OS X on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    try adding -fno-common to your CFLAGS, also this must be compiled with the -fPIC flag. The other dependent libraries must be compiled with the same CFLAGS. Which pango version are you building ?

    This is strange. I restarted the system, and now top work. The error had some thing to do with /dev/mem/ permissions. Diskutil fixed that. But it works now. Thank you all for you help.

  18. merge the spinoff and MIPS to create a competition on Motorola To Spin Off Chip Division · · Score: 1

    I would like to see the new spinoff merge with MIPS and create some real compeition to IBM if not Intel. Then maybe we can get some real alternatives to x86. It would be nice to be able to compute on cheap platforms other than x86. With with Linux as your OS it will not matter much which platform one uses along as the the platform supports linux and vice versa.

    "The Chinese and Indian people are just as smart and educated as any other, and a whole lot less comfortable and hungrier for achievment. Sit back, relax, and you'll watch them eat your lunch."

    Disclaimer: I am of east indian descent

    I do believe the Chinese and Indian people are smart, however I do not believe they are as creative or intrepid as western folks. It seems to me, that new concepts or challenges [read going to the moon] arise in the west, but are then copied and/or exploited in the east. Eighter way no harm done, as long as we all give credit to the folks that concieve of the novel notions first [read mostly uk and us]. It would be nice if the folks in the east would concieve of a new challenges first instead of following, but this might be beyond their control due to other matters that their citizens deem much more inportant such as health care, religion , food, etc.
