Binary compatibility isn’t the problem on Windows. It’s usually undocumented API use, reliance on API bugs and security model changes that cause applications to not work.
Even Office XP which ran on Windows 98 runs under Windows 7.
First of all the hardware acceleration they’re talking about is happening behind the scenes due to their renderer being hardware accelerated. There’s no proprietary JavaScript or HTML or anything in the web page code to make it hardware accelerated; therefore it’s irrelevant that they’re using proprietary DirectX or DirectWrite or Direct2D or whatever they feel like to do it. Their competitors could use whatever is available on their platforms of choice to do their own acceleration.
As far as dividing scores by 4, there’s none of that in the article. They state that the other browsers were getting 3-4 FPS but Firefox was getting 16.4 fps because they degrade quality when scaling. They didn’t even knock the approach because there’s a tradeoff being made between image quality and speed. The only mention of anything even close to division was that 16.4 is about 1/4 of the goal of 60 fps.
My copy of Firefox is managing about 16 fps on that test while IE9 manages 48 so they’re about right as far as older or slower hardware goes and as far as I can tell they’re serving the same markup and JavaScript to both browsers so there’s nothing proprietary about that page that makes it faster on IE9 other than IE9’s rendering and JavaScript engines.
F# is a supported language of Visual Studio 2010 which is shipping soon. Surface has been in the wild since at least 2008 but you probably won't see any consumer products based on it.
Unless they uploaded the pictures to 4chan themselves, they can hardly be held responsible for that particular group of abuses. (The department should certainly discipline them, though.)
This would actually be inconsistent with how we handle other cases of someone committing an initial crime and that crime spurring additional harm. If you commit a crime, you'll often get to take responsibility for ALL the harm that crime caused. The images wouldn't be on 4chan if they didn't commit their crime in the first place.
The Strict variant isn't theirs; it's the ISO's work. The Transitional variant however is pretty much the ECMA spec once the ISO modifies it back into compliance with ECMA. Of course, the ECMA spec is pretty much the Office 2007 format.
It may temporarily prevent the vehicle from reaching it's top speed but I doubt there's an automobile on the planet that is designed to have the brakes applied while the gas is at full throttle without just burning the brakes down to the bare metal then continuing to accelerate.
Toyota is already doing this. It's rather odd that the computer will willingly burn the brakes completely off a vehicle that has both pedals down to start with.
Unfortunately the update assumes the computer will actually respond to the brake being pressed or any input for that matter. Toyota doesn't know for certain what is causing all of these sudden acceleration problems in which fiddling with the gas pedal, brake and even putting the vehicle in neutral won't stop the vehicle. The software update, while a sensible modification that should've been in the software all along, is sort of a hail mary toward preventing any new cases in updated vehicles.
After seeing some auto parts from China versus the parts from the original manufacturer, I'm confident that the work is not even close to being equivalent in most cases. It's cheaper for the manufacturer but the product takes a dive.
Either one of the values could end up being reported as a different value then what is set there. Bad memory or processors cause computer crashes or just plain strange behavior all the time.
My point is that you'd have to completely overhaul the US justice system to allow attorneys to be punished for representing guilty clients. The requirement of a fair trial is a barrier to any sort of arrangement since no judge in their right mind would consider railroading a defendant without legal counsel as fair. We throw out trials because defendants WITH legal counsel didn't get a proper defense afterall. This means the requirement for a fair trial would have to be done away with completely in order to allow any such arrangement that punishes a defendant's legal counsel due to the inevitable situation of defendants without a defense.

You’re slamming Microsoft and using an article about Firefox implementing hardware acceleration using Microsoft’s new API to do it?

This speeds up JavaScript by freeing the CPU to worry about JavaScript instead of doing display stuff.
Is anyone else reminded of the 10.0 release of OSX?
That's a little harsh.
I didn't realize that Microsoft was in the business of manufacturing Itanium 9300s.

Your tax dollars pay for a lot of things you'll never see. Crime scene photos should be the least of your worries.

Office 16? It's going to take that long? Well I suppose that's pretty much on par for Microsoft and supporting standards.... late.
BitDefender is a third party anti-virus package.
I believe you have to use the non-ISO versions of ODF for formulas. I'm not sure OASIS has submitted anything newer than ODF 1.0 to the ISO.
Full retail copy of XP Pro? People bought those?

Her mother was 3 feet away. That's pretty supervised. Her mother should've had the sense to move the gun.
When Cheyenne fired the gun, Ashe said, her mother, Tina Ann Cronberger, 32, was within three feet of her child.
This kind of makes the whole child operating a .308 a little more disturbing imo.

WTF?

The Courier has been in the works for a long long time.
Actually yes. That would probably be a legitimate reason to ban such toys... they'll get you shot by police.
