  6. Re:I think your finger pointed the wrong way on Google Won't Enable Chrome Video Acceleration Because of Linux GPU Bugs · · Score: 2

    wow. what an incredibly impressive rant. I always love when my competence is brought into question by an anonymous coward.

    FYI, my linux port DOES work, just not on the specific platform that the client initially chose. I offered to explore this cost reducing move, which was progressing swimmingly until i hit this linux/intel/qml opengl incompatibility.The only downside was I spent some of MY time exploring the options, and we now need to stay running Windows Embedded for a little longer, until we can qualify a arm based board that will work.

  7. I agree - the linux GPU support is broken on Google Won't Enable Chrome Video Acceleration Because of Linux GPU Bugs · · Score: 2

    In 2 words: THEY SUCK.

    I had to abort a windows to linux port because the intel linux graphics driver is BROKEN (Intel Atom N455). I spent weeks convincing a customer he was better off moving his code base to linux, and when I finally got the OK to build a prototype, the UI was unusable. I really wish the GPU manufacturers would provide enough documentation so the Open source ppl could come in and fix it.

    he did mess it up. The identities of Seal Team 6 was exposed and most of them ended up getting killed.

    yee is worse than biden and feinstein, combined. everything i have heard from that man's mouth has been total rubbish and idiocy. he is an embarrassment to our state.

  11. Re:No law is needed on ACLU Asks FTC To Force Carriers To 'Patch Or Replace' Android Devices · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I own a Motorola Atrix 4G. It is an excellent smartphone platform. It has been abandoned
    by Motorola even though the phone can easily run ICS and Jellybean. We Atrix 4G users
    may never see an official update, on a phone they originally PROMISED to update.

    Sad thing is Motorola Mobility is now owned by Google. Go Figure.

  12. Violence has become more Violent on If Video Games Make People Violent, So Do Pictures of Snakes · · Score: 1

    I think the real problem is the violence in video games, TV and film has desensitized people to what constitutes violence and brutality. Most people have their 'humanity' meter calibrated to know what is right and wrong. They will find most of the media violence repulsive or intriguing, but completely unacceptable as reality.

    The problem becomes the sociopaths and psychopaths who do not have a way to determine what is acceptable behavior. It used to be that even showing blood on TV was a no-no. Now we show beheadings, dismemberments, and mass murders as almost common occurrences. How is somebody who has a poor grasp of reality supposed to interpret this information?

    Another contributing factor is the extreme repression of anything sexual in the media - it forces most forms of entertainment into violence.

    We live in a very screwed up society.

  16. Re:Perseverance on Are You a Blue-Collar Or White-Collar Developer? · · Score: 1

    I didn't mention that I am actually one of the free thinker types, and I DO have problems finishing tasks unless I really work at it. It took me 4 years to get my BS in Computer Science, mainly because I was able to stay pissed that long at the hypocrisy of not being able to get a job as an Engineer without a degree.

  17. Perseverance on Are You a Blue-Collar Or White-Collar Developer? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    A 4 year degree shows you can start a complex, diverse series of tasks and stick with them to completion. People that don't
    have degrees are normally the free thinker types that have problems finishing projects.

    The Tin-foil hat perspective of this debacle is that MO'G is actually provoking PJ to sue. This will put PJ's personal info into public court records, which is exactly what MO'G (and SCOg) wants.

    The last few comments i read from PJ (before Groklaw got /.'d) indicated she realized this. She is playing her cards very carefully and intelligently.
