I'd just like to see real genuine competition and less of this saber waving/epeen competition between companies. It's stupid, because consumers would buy more and technology would overall advance faster if the companies didn't try to keep eliminating their competitors constantly.
411 can give you directions without GPS now. It's something people don't realize. You're billed by the call too, so it's pretty darn nice. Goog 411 can help you find the place, and regular 411 can do the rest.
Meanwhile, trusting in your GPS when you don't have cellphone reception can, you know, lead you off a cliff.
Nothing beats simply planning your route *BEFORE* you leave.
you also paid anywhere from $60 to $300 or more for absolutely nothing that you can't do with a phone nowadays - you don't even need a phone with GPS or a screen for that - just call goog 411.
uh, no. If they had done this with their graphics card alone it would be fair. Go read the article. "We were able to confirm this by changing the ids of ATI graphics cards in the Batman demo. By tricking the application, we were able to get in-game AA option where our performance was significantly enhanced."
ion still is only par for par with ATI's integrated products. Not worse, not better. I like the tegra solutions they have had but you know, that's not exactly a huge growing business sector yet (although it could become one).
they are rapidly losing "mindshare" behind closed doors, because people aren't liking the results of physx and it's impact on sales.
Hardware flash acceleration? That's not unique to Nvidia or a solution to anything that exists. Nobody wants flash, it's going out of style.
OpenCL? ATI and intel have it too. Thus?
All I see there is Ion. Trying to shove Nvidia cards into the console market is not about to succeed either as ATI is quite entrenched.
Well this is a conflict with all the concepts of teaching. What is wrong with intelligent kids knowing how they learn best versus being told "do what everyone else does because it works for them?" There is no way to simply stamp all kids as learning the best the same way, and this is the fault of shoddy teaching and a low bar for curriculum. It's no less the parents fault for not stimulating the kid's interest.
ADD,ADHD, depression, gaming addiction is all bunch of shit that is 95% misdiagnosed and rarely accurate at all. Lots of kids are just hyperactive, and putting them in boring and uninteresting classes with no practical application (because none is taught) are not going to stop them from looking for other things to entertain. who said the ADD kids are stupid? On the contrary, they're usually extremely smart, and not challenged by normal rudimentary work. I was one of those kids. My niece was one of those kids.
She's going to the most prestigious high school in the nation. I underachieved. Everyone is different. This is the problem. The general concept of public schooling just doesn't fit the ball for every person.
It has been widely studied that your brain needs breaks from its normal activity.
I don't get your point, that involves a click EULA, this guy never installed the software. Thus, let them explore that precedent, only to get it shot down as it is unrelated.
what other ways can something not be made proprietary, such as even down the road? what licenses allow this? That in a later version of said same program that is currently open source, will always be open source?
BSD is not an example, by definition. So what other licensing situations can something not be turned into a proprietary example that people are still free to modify? I dont' see that in apache or BSD.
I'd rather rent a place and invest in the stock market with the assistance of family brokers than invest in a place as a physical asset where I am practically *guaranteed* to take a loss.
Usually rent above certain amounts (and/or around $1500) involves large locations and complementary utilities. Considering when people have kids or don't, having utilities compensated within the rent charge makes things a lot cheaper.
Housing market is designed to screw anyone who is middle class.
That may be, but adding more time is only going to burn people out from school and doesn't guarantee any form of a more effective communication.
my girl and I have discussed, we are so sick of public schools assigning time wasting homework assignments that we want kids to go to private schools when that time comes. Homework for the sake of time at the excuse of repetition is not for the sake of education.
in all honesty, it took me about an hour the first time, as is. There are lots of little kinks in the process that google cannot address because they are more TMO/etc.
meanwhile, rooted phone + google voice + myfaves = unlimited calling/no need for sms on the plan/$77 a month ish. Still high to me.
1: downloading the backup program (recovery flasher) thingy for the firmware. 2: download root firmware of your choice in a.zip to your phone 3: reboot and apply. you're done.
DDO is an exception because they're not charging a fee. They're also leading the pack here. Don't expect blizzard, etc to be changing their tune as fast.
thanks, what was inquiring was maybe something more solid in concept - what languages apply most beneficially to engineering new software - python, ruby, C? I'm just throwing out names I know, in hopes that you can give me a better suggestion here. I've been trying to break into programming on my own but never could find a good start into address things beyond rudimentary c programming books.
What I meant was the cyanogen case where the gmail app for example is still proprietary even though the OS is open source, as other people have clarified. Basically back to the "linux is open source but the graphics drivers aren't" scenario.

that argument has been around since about 1990. If that is the best you can do, that's a pretty sure sign nvidia's fucked.
you also paid anywhere from $60 to $300 or more for absolutely nothing that you can't do with a phone nowadays - you don't even need a phone with GPS or a screen for that - just call goog 411.
that has nothing to do with the hardware acceleration and 100% to do with adobe not releasing it yet. My G1 is waiting for the same thing.
You do realize even with hardware acceleration it's not exactly going to run flawless, right? It will, of course, kill your battery life though.
uh, no. If they had done this with their graphics card alone it would be fair. Go read the article. "We were able to confirm this by changing the ids of ATI graphics cards in the Batman demo. By tricking the application, we were able to get in-game AA option where our performance was significantly enhanced."
you are correct. I meant for graphics, but I didn't really think about that with openAL. Thank you for the correction.

windows is an "approved list of hardware". Ever tried to run DirectX under anything else?
OpenGL3 is the first time that companies are breaking away from windows.
You can't keep a PC closed forever because it's bad for business.
physx seemed nice until they tried to close source it. Does Nvidia have anything left this round? Bad Yields, physx being stupid and abusive when disabled (it only uses 1 cpu core when on AMD for example instead of even all threads). Not to mention their crippling of batman as well.
So what's left for Nvidia? I don't see a whole lot.
I thought laws are overturned because they are ambiguous? Isn't that a tenet of law itself?
I don't get your point, that involves a click EULA, this guy never installed the software. Thus, let them explore that precedent, only to get it shot down as it is unrelated.
I agree with you for that it is supposed to be the philosophy, but that isn't how it comes out in practice.

ugh, screwed my own link. http://www.ryebrye.com/blog/2009/08/16/android-rooting-in-1-click-in-progress/ (1 apk download, 1 mod download, 1 reboot).
what do you mean? one click is too hard?
basically, it's 3 steps.
1: downloading the backup program (recovery flasher) thingy for the firmware. .zip to your phone
2: download root firmware of your choice in a
3: reboot and apply. you're done.
then you're done.
we're talking subscription fee MMO's.
DDO is an exception because they're not charging a fee. They're also leading the pack here. Don't expect blizzard, etc to be changing their tune as fast.
Market is included in the proprietary category from what I have read.
however, I wonder if there's a market .apk that can be downloaded (you don't need market to run a .apk)
If there is, this would resolve all problems.

absolutely agreed. Much lower latency may up server requirements a little as the traffic increases but I'll take it any day hands down.
