Until then,nintendo games are absolutely unplayable on mobiles for the most part
True, a literal translation to an on-screen gamepad is unplayable, as I discovered when I tried to play Pixeline and the Jungle Treasure (free version) from Google Play Store on my Nexus 7 (2012) tablet. It's a very Super Mario-style platformer, and I kept whiffing (pressing outside the active area of any button) until I paired a keyboard and used that. The flat sheet of glass that is a modern mobile device's input is even worse for this purpose than the widely panned Turbo Touch 360 by Triax, whose touch surface at least provides tactile position feedback through being recessed and having ridges. Plus the Turbo Touch still has traditional physical action buttons.
But a game that uses a mouse, trackball, spinner, or stylus on another platform can be straightforwardly adapted to touch control. This includes shmups (try AirAttack HD), point-and-click adventures (such as those that run in ScummVM), switching-type block puzzle games (such as FreeCell or Klotski or Bejeweled or Puzzle League), shooting galleries (try Fruit Ninja), and even reportedly first-person shooters. Furthermore, some fans of Android and iOS gaming have assured me that games designed for a gamepad can be reengineered to use the seven gestures that are available under each thumb: tap, long press, swipe up, swipe down, swipe left, swipe right, and long swipe. Map these to the two halves of the screen for fourteen actions in all, the same as the number of buttons on an original PlayStation 1 controller.
The Wii U has shipped approximately the same number of units as the Xbox One.
It depends on which part of the world you're in. PlayStation 4 is beating Xbox One and Wii U combined globally, in Europe, and in the rest of the world. In North America, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have each outsold Wii U by roughly 2 to 1. But in Japan, Wii U is in the lead and Xbox One is a rounding error.
Figures from VGChartz: PS4: NA 9.60; EU 9.93; JP 1.67; ROW 4.25; total 25.45 XbOne: NA 8.61; EU 3.63; JP 0.06; ROW 1.58; total 13.88 Wii U: NA 4.70; EU 2.40; JP 2.52; ROW 0.65; total 10.27
I'm not sure why everyone is quick to qualify the Wii U as a disaster and the Xbox One a success.
Nor is this proposal by Bruce Perens the complete final bill. If "free software" as defined by Debian (or "open source" as defined by OSI) is meant, the DFSG/OSD will be written into the bill or at least included by reference.
I imagine that it's workable because it becomes easier to pinpoint an offender: a single user rather than all users of a particular make and model of transmitter.
The only way to ensure the frequencies is to lock the transmitters into a specific frequency set.
To what frequency set should a transmitter designed for different countries with different spectrum allocations be locked? For example, in the United States, the frequencies corresponding to Wi-Fi channels 1 through 11 are under an FCC unlicense for part 15 operation, while Wi-Fi channels 12 through 14 aren't.
it should be the operator that incurs any liability
The legal theory here might be secondary liability for interference with weather radar. If a company profits from an unlawful act (crime or tort) committed by another that it has power to prevent, it has vicarious liability for said other's act. If a company distributes tools that it knows will allow another to commit an unlawful act, it has contributory liability for said other's act.
If source code is on a website, it's not "mass-distributed in binary form." I assume that by "binary form", Mr. Perens meant a form other than "the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it" (GPLv3). And if source code is specifically marked as experimental, it's not "mass-distributed [...] for use by RF-naïve users."
Nor did Steve Jobs invent the smartphone. Yet the Crapper and Apple companies did contribute several improvements that made the product categories practical.
I think the FSF's position on boycotting DRM follows this logic: If enough people boycott DRM, this will improve the world by showing publishers that there's no longer a market for products including DRM.
Now I have the latest version of Debian GNU/Linux installed [...] I feel like I'm missing out on getting as irritated at my OS as Windows users do.
That's because you're irritated in another way: you're missing out on working Wi-Fi and suspend. This is what happens on some battery-powered PCs if you rip out Windows and install Debian. Source

We had a pretty simple use case and didn't *need* to run Oracle at all, MySQL or PostgreSQL would have been more that sufficient for our needs (and it would have been easy to , but the CTO thought Oracle made the company more prestigious
Except Oracle maintains MySQL. So going with MySQL would still make "We use Oracle software" a true statement.
Browser-based add-ons avoid even the transition from user mode (the browser) to kernel mode (the IP stack) to look up the host. And unlike most operating systems' IP stacks, a browser-based add-on can use an efficient approximate cache for 0.0.0.0 entries.

The device you want is a JXD S7800B tablet.
When the mobiles grow an analog stick and some buttons maybe.
Go look at some JXD tablets.

With payment processors taking tens of cents from each credit card transaction, how would pay-per-use work?
You mentioned Google Contributor. How long does it take for a new user to get through Google Contributor's waitlist?
I've heard that you can fix a lot of security problems just by modifying your hosts file.
Yes, but not this one. See Cederic's post.
As I understand it, vicarious liability requires some form of financial gain, but contributory liability does not.

Rotten Tomatoes has been a subsidiary of Flixster since 2010, which was in turn purchased by Warner Bros. in 2011.
But does Warner Bros. Pictures have any more influence over Rotten Tomatoes than it has over CNN?
The GPLv2 and GPLv3 define a work's source code similarly: "the preferred form of a work for making modifications to it".
If source code is on a website, it's not "mass-distributed in binary form."

In cloud lingo, an "instance" means a "virtual private server", a VM running on someone else's computer.

Perhaps the other option is to take a principled stand against Digital Restrictions Management by doing without the "protected content".
Is mythbuntu still good?
Last I heard, it didn't support CableCARD tuners.

It's fitting that the hyphen site's theme song is "Communication Breakdown" by Led Zeppelin.
