I seem to recall that when kde started depending on opengl acceleration, they discovered that significant parts of opengl were buggy, incomplete or missing, and the opengl people effectively admitted that this was partly due to lack of testing so kde were essentially alpha testing their code.
my memory on this is not so good, so I will be happy to be corrected by someone more knowledgable
It'll be interesting to see what the Verizon iPhone does for iOS. I don't know if it was legal obligations or what, but Apple being kept off the largest carrier
I'll turn the conventional thinking on its head. Maybe the situation hasn't been that Verizon were pleading for Apple to make a CDMA phone, but instead...
maybe Verizon knew that Apple weren't competent antenna/RF engineers and wouldn't agree to Apple coming to their network until Apple learned some humility?
so, no doubt the TSA staff will soon be equipped with endoscopes and be trained in keyhole surgery to prevent terrorists implanting bombs inside their bodies.
let me fix that for you. there are effectively no low-cost consumer broadband providers that offer ipv6 to their customers by default, if they can offer it at all!
my brother was in the british navy and he said similar things - he was advised to never go to a military dentist, as they tended to take teeth out rather than risk problems in combat.
building computers at home has turned into a willy-waving contest... the average cheap home computer is more powerful than anyone ever needs, unless they're running vista:-)
just don't do this with SSDs as marking all blocks in use prevents the wear levelling working; if you use TRIM the SSD will wipe the unused blocks putting you back where you started
I the only one who just does not click on any 'shortened' URL because you never know what it's going to take you to?
this is why I like tinyurl and the fact that you it gives you a chance to preview the target URL.
I am surprised it has taken twitter so long to do their own shortener - I've suggested it quite a few times in the past - and also recommend they rewrite old tweets to replace shortened URLs where possible. OK, sucks to be bit.ly and others, but all shorteners need to accept they're just a hack to make up for people's lazyness or crappy services like twitter.
have you discovered the "+" tag for email, so you can have, say, example+slashdot@gmail, example+reddit@gmail and it all goes to the same example@gmail mailbox and you can then tag automatically.

Sounds like too much tolkien and no action!
The terrorists wanted to destroy your way of life - to take away your freedoms, to make you live your lives in fear.
You have achieved their aims for them.

zimbra mail and calendaring work fine with iphone, ipad and ipod touch out of the box for free.

the nook is nice, if someone hacks it to give it a microphone before anything better comes along, I'll be hitting B&N to get one immediately!!
the TSA have already forced a woman with a prosthetic breast to subject herself to intrusive scrutiny: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/11/19/national/main7070415.shtml

er, not quite. the gal s 9000 is an older model, this one is improved, and is the 9100.
linux and windows have TRIM, so when will OSX have it?

not with hardware emulation anyway, and the software emulation was a bit hit and miss

one of the top ten is in phoenix, which gets unpleasantly hot, info and photos here: inside the phoenix one datacenter

can I use xerox in my house, not just in a manor?
IIRC, the UK gov't being nearly bankrupt sold the patents for the jet engine to the US??
did you mean the ps2 slim dropped full ps1 compat?

I for one welcome our new implanted-micro-chip-augmented human overlords.
and if the batteries are made by Sony, they can be used as IEDs too :-)
I can't help but think of The Onion's parody about people outsourcing their own jobs to India
Unix has the same architecture and pretty much the same vulnerable technologies as NT based Windows.
WTF? sure, they both run on computers (usually x86) but there's fundamental differences in everything from the kernel to the drivers!
