Why not move them to the roof? And while we're at it, do the same for all the nuke plants? A simple f*cking appliance that needs air and fuel to run and somehow they manage to spend life at the bottom of a potential indoor swimming pool.
Being in IT support, we see many people come in without eyes, or common sense, attached to their head. Many times, the head is firmly impacted in the nether regions but this malady is most common with upper management.
Sometime in the middle of the DDR4 lifecycle machines using DDR3 will be about as popular as ones using SDRAM right now.
Donate it to the kids projects mentioned above. Besides, if you sell it, your going to be fielding support calls from people with crappy systems who think your "bad used ram" is to blame.
suddenly realize that supporting software like steam and games on Linux may be a bit more challenging than they thought it would.
Linux has really stabilized since the days of 199? and the communities which form around the different distros keep things moving and current. What we will most likely see is Steam going with a supported version on Ubuntu and then the communities implementing the library/graphics support (if needed) into each distro -- but to keep the amount of static down on the support lines, you'll probably have to be running the officially supported Ubuntu version to open support tickets.
I think Valve is well aware of the potential Linux-specific problems because they've been at this for a while now and still going. What's more interesting is they are still expressing distaste over the direction Microsoft has gone and how it affects the gaming community. Other game devs will be taking note, but probably not the big ones like EA -- they just don't give a f---. They can afford to put out buggy crap and people still buy it.
Gaming is Valve's bread and butter and Gabe Newell doesn't strike me as an idiot. If he's saying things are seriously f'ed-up with windows 8, that's worth taking note of.
I think the funny part of all this is that right now, people dual boot to game on Windows. In a few years, that's totally going to switch and people will dual boot only to open MS Office.. lol
It's great that science has a lot of answers and that we are no longer killing people over what planet revolves around which, and if it's flat, but we haven't evolved as a species, out of the witch hunt stage. People seem to have way to much fun eradicating those who do not share the same world view (Religious and Atheist alike).
M$ should be worried. Along with Apple and anyone else trying to keep their proprietary little death-grip on their market share. Android is turning up everywhere. It's becoming ubiquitous. You can find it on everything from smartphones to Televisions[0] to Refrigerators[1]. Why do you think Apple is going 'thermo nuclear' on Android? It's not just due to 'Rounded corners and rectangular design' it's because Android can be made to run on just about any home appliance imaginable -- and guess who makes a lot of home appliances (TVs, fridges, washing machines, etc) as well as smartphones? Now guess who doesn't?
Apple and Microsoft PAY people extraordinary salaries to forecast market trends. They know where the industry is trending. And it ain't trending into Cupertino or Redmond at the moment -- at least not in the world outside of the US.
Leaving location services on is a condition of getting to keep the phone.
Makes all kinds of logical sense until:
*) Sorry Dad, I forgot it in (locker, backpack, Jim's Mom's car) *) Sorry Dad, I didn't have time to charge the battery this morning *) Sorry Dad, the battery died right after school *) Sorry Dad, Mary borrowed it to call her mom and she left with it *) Sorry Dad, the teacher made us turn them off. I forgot to turn it on. *) Sorry Dad, we're on Sprint, remember? I only have one bar unless I'm under the tower in Tokyo.
You're doing a halfassed job of writing your flagship browser at the moment.
Well, considering the alternatives, I'd say they're doing OK: IE) is and always has been an application supporting only bastardized version of the HTML standard and focused on adoption of M$ proprietary extensions/standards.
Opera) Closed source and Ad-ridden.
Chrome) All your Web belong to Google. Dubious "Sandboxed" native code execution.
Konqueror/Rekonq) Seems to work sometimes.
Given the alternatives, I don't see Firefox doing anything egregious. In fact, their efforts are laudable. They make an effort to maintain an open-source product that you can download for free. The Mozilla offerings are probably the least suspect when it comes to privacy issues. Mozilla has their fair share of bugs, but honestly a lot of the complaining I read about Firefox is due to misbehaving plugins as well as users not understanding their system resources.
Maybe I live under a rock but the Mozilla products work great for me. Can you point out some factual information behind your rant? If One of the other offerings are far superior I'd really be interested.
People in the US bike the same way they drive. GTFO my way you slow moving object. Never been to Amsterdam but when it comes to lack of courtesy when mobile, I think Americans seem to take the gold in that resulting in a larger need for safety measures.
Thanks Tim. I'm sure you had no idea how much fail was in the ios Map application before you shrink-wrapped the 5. It's not like you have endless developers to work on these things and go through each bundled feature to make sure it works correctly, or even works at all. We understand you needed to get the phone on the shelves in time for the holidays, and especially to keep people from jumping ship over your recent litigation.
Get used to it, because there's nothing you can do about it.
Precisely. Give in, give up, don't give a single f*ck. That's how we got where we are -- half the the population just said "ah, f*uck it. Nothing I can do about it, so BOHICA"
"Fighting back" against problem legislation is arduous. For most Americans, they don't want to put in the effort to contact their representatives and voice their opinion. They think someone else will do it. Well, not enough people do and pretty soon we have stuff like military drones in the sky, and some really bat-shit crazy corporate sponsored law makers in office.
How do you think SOPA/PIPA got beat? Lot's of regular people raising hell about it. Making a big enough deal out of it that the media covered it and it was impossible to pass now because the lawmakers couldn't keep it some clandestine piece of legislation that would get passed quietly.
Let's face it: There's more everyone could be doing to keep crap like this off the law books.
The problem with phone applications in general is they are designed for either a small display (phone) or large display (tablet). A UI scrunched-up to fit a phone display suddenly becomes way too spacious when run on a tablet (let alone a 23" 1920x1600 monitor). Android tries to address this by allowing multiple layouts for your UI based on the display it's running on but I've not seen many applications actually implement that. I wonder how BlueStack is planning to address that. TFA sounds like they are mainly pimping "cloud sync" of app info.

When Microsoft was the one doing the suing? Oy, the irony of being flogged with your own club.

Most of it pasted into the submission. Still not sure if TFA is supposed to be accolades, gripes, or just web-hits.
Shut up. Panic. Run Amok. We need footage.

100 million units and has lots of software and developer support?
Haha. you silly. Trade in your blackberry.
Or any other many reasons why they might end this kind of supply contract?
Nobody want's an Apple after finding a worm in it?

*Psst... hey Minnesota lawmakers..*... Just delete that Dial-up Networking icon from your desktop. It removes your Internets from your computer.

Then they could just subscribe to Datalogix's wall and they would know all the details. Sheesh, c'mon.
For all their ardous work!

I wonder if the protesters in Egypt will understand this...my guess is probably not.
Easy to tell. The muslims who 'get it' won't be the ones jumping around and shouting like crazy-asses while setting fire to shit.
They get things like this passed because they have an asswad of liquid assets to lobby with. It won't surprise me when this goes through.

It's Google's fault you don't have decent maps because they wouldn't give Apple what they wanted.
