You can swap it out if you've jailbroken, or simply write your own app with any engine you like (which works fine for personal or enterprise use).
This point I've never quite fully understood - people keep complaining about how insecure Android is (which is a debate for another thread). Yet when discussing shortcomings of iOS, the answer is always "jailbreak" (which might or might not be available, tethered or perhaps not). As it is, at work I've been developing an app for iPad that is HTML5-based. And the performance is worse than what Mobile Safari would offer. If you want your HTML5 app available on the App store, this is a fact you'll just have to accept. This is also the reason you shouldn't expect Firefox on iOS anytime soon.
Reading comprehension WTF - he was talking about Mobile Safari/iOS. While it is true that you can have alternativish-browsers on iOS, they must use the underlying Webkit component and a markedly inferior JS engine. So there's an element of truth in the statement.
If we're talking about more interactive fiction indie titles like Gone Home (don't get me wrong, I really liked it), I'd like to add To the Moon. Brilliant writing and soundtrack, if you don't mind the classic JRPG look.
Oh yes, looking at the rain outside here in Finland, where it actually has warmer than in Florida last month, I couldn't help but to think how exceptionally cold winter we're having.
Or you're a Finn. We don't have separate words for "he" or "she", there's only "hän". But in spoken Finnish it is always "se" ("it"), and there's nothing offensive about it. "Hän" would be overly formal.
It was bad, she got also skin reactions from mere touch and she did (still does though) carry an Epipen with her at all times, but the doctors said they've treated even worse cases. Apparently the treatment is more effective / more likely to work in younger children. The treatment is still somewhat experimental, luckily I live in a town with a university hospital that does a lot of research. I'm not a medical professional so I'm not able to advice you further sadly, but if you're interested try to contact them (or have your doctor do so).
I knew, this being slashdot, someone would nitpick over that:) OK, so it's not near homeopathic, what I meant was that the initial dose is so small it seems it couldn't possibly have any effect.
My daughter's milk allergy (yes, milk allergy, not lactose intolerance) was treated this way. It started with an almost homeopathic dosage, one drop of milk diluted to 1/20 per day, gradually increasing the dosage over six months. Now she's able to use dairy products freely, which is great. But the treatment doesn't really get rid of the allergy, it just builds a resistance for it, requiring that she gets at least some milk protein in her diet daily. I'll echo the summary though - don't try this without a medical professional.
In other words, unlike GPL, it's not viral. It's this viral aspect of GPL that is turning people against it, and towards the more permissive BSD and MIT licenses.
Which is why we just heard Linux running out of funds? Oh wait, we didn't. And WebKit is LGPL (and not an Apple creation but a fork of KHTML - undoubtedly refined since though).
(For the record, I've nothing against BSD-licensed software, but people seem to be fine with GPL and its derivatives. Linux seems to be the platform of choice for most of smartphones and completely owns supercomputing. The desktop part is missing, insert compulsory joke about "YEAR OF LINUX DESKTOP" here - but generally it seems GPL is not scaring people away. And yes, even you, running Safari on your i-Device - you're running LGPL software.)
I'm willing to buy the first argument up to a point, although once they've visited a site it should show up as a suggestion in the address bar - but perhaps they'll still search for it, the stupidity of some never ceases to amaze me. I'm not sure about the second one though - if you check the list (it's the first top 10 list - the page is in Finnish but you can ironically enough use Google to translate it), those are all web sites. Basically all they'd need is to be appended with.fi or.com depending on the site, and most of them wouldn't really make much sense in a more verbose query. And right below it is "on the rise", there you'll find queries with more words in them.
I'm not sure what you're referring to - it's ctrl+c/ctrl+v everywhere (except Konsole, you have to use ctrl+shift there, for obvious reasons). You can also use the old X11 method, select the text with the mouse and paste with middle mouse button.
Matters to whom, apart from the FSF-fanatics? Any technically qualified person will be able to unminify the code. Anyone else doesn't care about the code.
Yeah, and that position is just lunacy. Stallman complains about JS in Google Docs taking half a megabyte, minified. How large would it be unminified, with comments and all? It's not like there aren't any tools to do so if you wish. Fill in the variable names as you please and you should be able to "de-obfuscate" the script quite easily, debug it Firebug or whatever you wish. There is a very clear technical reason for minifying JS, it's beneficial both for the server and the client. While I appreciate some of the foundations laid by Stallman/FSF, nowadays they just seem to be crackpots with no connection to reality (see the this article for example - give a substitute for Youtube as a present, WTF?).
Linus not withstanding, NVidia has provided me with up-to-date, stable, performant Linux drivers for their hardware without fail for almost twenty years. Recently, NVidia has invested even more effort and collaborated with Valve to capture the Steambox platform. If this Debian based, open gaming platform succeeds we all have NVidia to thank. NVidia has EARNED this outcome, and people like you, with your sad-sack AMD crap need to reconsider your behavior.
Not that I disagree, mostly; I've been spared the most of the horrors of the proprietary NVidia driver I keep reading about, it's been mostly fine. However, one word rebuttal to your argument: "Optimus". (yes, I know, bumblebee, have it installed. it's still a hack)
Quick googling turned up this list. A somewhat useless list though, as it doesn't specify what was different from the C64 version and whether the software was C128 only (I'm guessing very few were).
Was my first as well, and ditto, I tried CP/M a few times and that was much pretty much it, didn't really serve a purpose for my seven-year old self.
What was cool about the C128 mode was the extended basic though. I was way too young / not autistic enough for assembler back then, but the basic had features like a rudimentary sprite editor and easy access to joystick input. I was able to create some "games" with moderate ease - they were horrible, of course, but at least I didn't just spend my time playing games. That, and Ultima V had music in it instead of just sound effects when it was run from the C128 mode:)

Meant to type FTW. Oh well, the point stands.

If you're referring to asm.js, shouldn't that be static-ish typing? ;) (see "intish" and "doublish")

Wow, a blast from the past :) Nowhere to be found. You can find the list(s) in a reply to your previous sibling.

Scratch that, I remembered that wrong, it was even worse. "google" was fourth. But "facebook" was number one.
It really floored me that last year the sixth most common search term in Google here in .fi was "google" (but yes, "facebook" was higher).
...don't welcome our new Chinese overloads. (Do you realize how hard it's going to be to learn to write/type Manderin?)
You already seem to be struggling with English.
...and Frostbite on for example PS3/4 runs on DirectX, right?

...I thought it was seven proxies?
