While you point out a clear exception to the rule. The fact that Inkscape is at 0.48 tells you something about the developers in charge. Amatures. And as an avid Inkscape user and contributor to Apache Batik, having to deal with them is an obnoxious pain in the ass, and they don't seem to be very concerned with shitty UI or buggy SVG support, or basically anything they didn't come up with.
Groups who misuse version number tell you a shitload about the developers before you look at the software. That goes for something like Google Chrome just as much as it does for Inkscape or ReactOS.
When you manipulate the version number in silly ways, it also lets us know that you have no intention of being truthful.
... No, it takes morons who think a phone can soft emulate a PC to do this. And you'll note, they only thing mentioned is something that can run slow as balls without killing the experience.
Soft emulation of x86 (a FAR more powerful in every way architecture) on ARM is EXTREMELY slow. JIT is better, but still painfully slow.
ARM is NOT x86, and its a long fucking way from it.
You're reading a retarded headline and acting like suddenly you can play quake on your phone: Heres a hint: you wouldn't use this unless you like waiting days for do anything useful.
Just because you noticed the protest doesn't mean you are listening and you clearly aren't listening.
You're 'reply' is nothing more than a 'go fuck yourselves, we're doing what we want anyway'.
So in short, we, the slashdot userbase are going to tell you to go fuck yourself and simply stop coming to your shitty site while you continue to tell your customers how you know more about what we want than we do.
In short, how about you go fuck yourself timothy and friends, Hows it feel to be the last idiots on a sinking ship with no life rafts left? You go ahead and keep telling us how you know best, see how far that gets you.
What? I'm guessing you don't work in embedded because GCC sucks on every embedded platform I use. GCC is what chip makers port to their chips first because its easy since the majority of the work is done by someone else, but its a shitty compiler and you want something else as soon as possible.
I don't know anyone who uses GCC for actual production work anymore except Linux distros.
If you don't like it, leave, or at least shut the fuck up, I'm tired of seeing pages of this shit. You aren't going to get your way, they don't care what you want, they have to make changes or they don't have any reason to be employed. Logically once you hit 'perfection' any change you make is going to be worse, and thats where you are.
No changes - no job, and they aren't going to actually find a real reason to be useful, thats why they are still here with slashdot and all the smart staff left long ago.
So please, stop, you're not going to change anything and if you're not going to change anything than what you're doing is just obnoxious.
Theres no reason to pay timothy, kdawson and the other morons that 'run' slashdot if they don't change anything.
This has nothing to do with usefulness or upgrades. Its just like almost all software upgrades to established well working products, its an 'upgrade' done so the designers and engineers have work today, not because it needs to be done. And worse still, because the engineering and design as exactly what we wanted, all they can do is make it less of what we wanted.
I.E. The site can not be saved without replacing its staff and management, both of which are so concerned with themselves that they're ruining their own source of income.
My quads carry 10 without breaking a sweat, I don't have a Octo or Hexa yet.
And unless your efficiency is horrible due to the down draft flowing over your own aircraft than 25 pounds of thrust means you can hold 25 pounds in the air, with any less than 25 pounds you can climb, although slowly.
If you are actually a pilot I can't see how you passed your last ground exam.
nice sig, I too am a pilot, have 2 r/c planes, 4 helis, and 2 drones, the drones are electric but the others are a mix of nitro and electric.
FAA has full authority over the skys and has since its inception.
UAS means UNMANNED arial system, not that no one is controlling it. Before you talk about something you should know what it means.
If you bother to do a basic google search you can find small drones lifting 50 pounds. Either one of my quads carry 10 pounds in gear easily once all the equipment for a cross country flight is bolted on, hell 5 of it is batteries alone. Another couple in camera and FPV gear, and yes, I've carried an occasional beer on it just like these guys are talking about while screwing around camping at the lake.
ALL of my aircraft are fully autonomous. They all use ArduPilot/ArduCopter ( http://ardupilot.com/ ) which if you bother to look is fully capable of flying from take-off to land on its own, there are plenty of youtube videos showing it.
The FAA allows HOBBY use for RC aircraft under the following conditions: Below 400 feet Within direct visual contact of the pilot, video does not count. No commercial use And of course they have to obey all the other proper rules for aircraft.
This does not limit the use of autonomous flight even, its fully legal, as long as you continue to obey the above rules, but those flights aren't really useful for hauling cargo due to the direct visual contact requirement.
Break those conditions you need a waiver or a Certificate of Airworthiness.
You need to read up on your regs and stop talking out your ass.
The laws that cover unmanned aircraft are well defined, they've been around for 50 years thanks to the R/C hobby industry.
Yes, you are correct, unrelated policies don't govern unmanned aircraft, so stop quoting unrelated policies rather than actual regulations related to it.
You're simply ignorant of the regulations and want to pretend they don't exist because of that.
Even the largest of large books takes only fractions of a cent per copy to sell as your only true costs are the costs of storing and transferring 1s and 0s.
LARGE print books take a dollar or two at the most to print, ebooks are essentially free profit after a couple hundred bucks a month in expenses. It make cost more per month than a couple hundred bucks, sure... if you're selling so many copies that your bank can't hold any more money for you.
You are ridiculously out of the price range of the cost of 'making' a book.
Does it make you feel clever when you spell out digital restrictions management so you can make it obvious to us that you feel strongly about it and have resorted to name calling? I'm not disagreeing with you, just wondering if you realize how it makes your argument appear to everyone who doesn't understand what you're so uppity about?
Making silly jabs like that is why everyone else doesnt' take your ranting about DRM seriously. It makes you look childish and petty.
We need perfect demonstrations of why DRM should be illegal in its current form. This is pretty close to perfect.
What it demonstrates is that DRM can be used to cut off access directly OR indirectly from users to content they have purchased.
Unless we're going to have legal protections requiring support for ALL existing DRM formats in perpetuity, so they can be accessed into the future, and backed by government bonds to ensure the DRM can be 'resolved' if the company goes under, then this shit isn't going to work.
This will be great for us, the people. Adobe is on a one way path to demonstrating the dangers of software as a service, DRM and proprietary formats.
I'm typically one who has no problem with proprietary formats or DRM, slippery slope that they can be... and Adobe has slid off the deep end.
If anything was learned from all of Assanges leaks, its that mean of the countries in the middle east that call us evil publicly, beg us for help and love us for supporting them privately.
You're an idiot if you believe that.
The US has plenty of issues with its foreign policy, but if you truly believe what you said, you really are ignorant of whats going on in the world.
California is more or less a direct democracy, and it most certainly has self destructed because of that very fact, as was quoted from the training manual, California has voted itself more hand outs and lower taxes, and as a result has all sorts of issues in its governments.
No one puts down a 12 million dollar drone in the Pacific because it couldn't make it several hundred miles inland instead of just landing it somewhere... like say any one of the many airports military or otherwise they had to choose from.
Or you fly it over some unpopulated beach and land it on the beach, or okay, so the camera's went out, you put a spotter aircraft on it and follow it home using the spotter for visuals.
They didn't make a 'choice' to put it down in the ocean, it fucking crashed.
iOS does fine. Its not hard. Android's permission system is simply not intended to protect users, its intended to ensure users will accept any permissions so that Google can get access to all data for mining.
As I said, iOS pretty much solved this a few years ago, Android has been nothing but excuses ever since.
This is not a flaw in Android, it is an intentional design decision made by Google in order to accomplish THEIR goals, you are not the customer, you are the product.
You might want to check out ChumpCAR as well. 7 to 36 hour endurance racing with the same sort of cars, $500 or so, open to all who will do the safety course and not drive like a moron on the track.
