Thinking the DMCA has anything to do with copyright violations is also a poor idea. So you DMCA someone's video, and they put it up again. End result = nothing.
If you want to stop something you're ok with, first step is not DMCA - it's to ask nicely.
Nvidia has done plenty of stupid things - and they aren't anywhere near as open source friendly as they should be. However, I can't see why anyone wouldn't at least applaud them taking steps in the right direction. It isn't "Nvidia is all open source! put away the pitchforks and torches", but why assume that this is marketing or damage control?
It's literally in their long-term financial interest to be open with providing actual valid and useful documentation....as it would enable us to fine tune their own shit to work better.
you're missing the point. People who buy into apple (not myself either), are screwed - you immediately get reduced functionality if you try to refuse updates. so the choice is: Reduced functionality or reduced functionality.
Of course I'm questioning the factuality of the USPTO, except that no part of your comment has anything to do with what you previously said *or* my reply. Try a little harder before you try to strawman a second time.
"If you had to confirm to company standards" - so you mean actually focusing on quality and not the type of horribly selected random crap we get?
Articles on slashdot range from "interesting" to "Why the hell did this even make frontpage when it's explicitly wrong and has a misleading headline", to "why are we posting unvalidated tech propaganda", firehose be damned.
Whoa, let's not get so optimistic! It's also substantially overclocked on medfield! You'll be lucky if this thing has better better life than the original G1.
Amazing! we replaced our backup generators....with backup generators! Good thing we don't need those heavily invested generators anymore, we'll just buy more!
What word do you live in? Proprietary software is mega-fucking expensive for any real business. Have you never heard of oracle? People spend millions of dollars a year just to keep that shit working.
Open source is a long term decision and always saves money since you get what you want - as you can do it yourself. You have absolutely no such guarantee for proprietary software - the vendor could ignore the shit out of you, have your own priorities, or other issues.
Exactly - not being reliant on a vendor to fix problems and for feature requests is nowhere near as beneficial financially as when you can create your own priority for what you want and execute it merely by having to hire some programmers.
The #1 thing they forget to address is: people who can't even pay them due to region locks, etc. Their own control and attempt at release windows prevents a variety of global customers from even giving them their money.
actually, parent is correct. There are antitrust issues to be investigated here. This has nothing to do with choosing to support something or not, and is a very bad move by intel. If it were choosing they would say "this processor is not designed for linux" not "this processor will not *work* with linux". Sounds small, but it's of critical importance. The reality is that the antitrust issue is not with Intel - it is with Microsoft.
Why should anyone use the x86 instruction set if they're explicitly saying that things are not compatible? All they're trying to say to people is "please use ARM", which is not the smartest idea. That is entirely different from what intel is implying, which is that the BIOS issues regarding windows 8 preventing other operating systems from running...that issue from before.
So all this is, is basically antitrust fodder against MS.
No, it's not. That's a terrible and incorrect analogy, you misogynist. Making bad analogies is like making bad analogies for things that aren't a part of the discussion.
the point is, we can't even substantiate any of this - and no matter what they do, it's not "banishment from android". Relevance was lost when this somehow made it to the front page. Proof that if the firehose isnt' watched vigilantly enough bullshit non-articles make it through.
In September 2012 it was reported by The Atlantic that Terry Jones was involved in the promotion of a movie vilifying Islam, titled Innocence of Muslims. The movie led to protests in Egypt and Libya. In Cairo, protesters breached the wall of the U.S. Embassy and burned the flag. The U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was largely burnt and looted; killing Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other American citizens.[26] Jones screened the film for his followers on September 11, 2012, a day he dubbed, "International Judge Mohammad Day"
I hope this guy knows he has blood on his hands now, as batshit crazy as *he* is, he is now partially at fault. I knew he'd do something to incite violence overseas ever since his ridiculous quaran burning.
You think apple sales are consistent? You might want to look at what they admitted in the samsung vs apple case, in which they acknowledged that was not the case at all. People simply were not aware of alternatives and the lawsuit has raised this to people's attention.
Yeah ok, I'll make sure to cite this when the judge overturns the jury verdict and everyone stops going "WTF is wrong with the forman?". I don't need to make an opinion, the facts already confirm my statements.
Linux has been doing damn well, in enterprise and has been making traction with everything.
The minute the phrase "linux desktop" is involved you know the argument is misleading at the outset. If it was "how would you change the linux experience" is one thing, but acting as if linux desktop is broken is simply an untrue statement. Linux itself has been making gigantic inroads (and bsd as well) via ios/android.

Even MS doesn't do that type of shit.

why yes, a bing based search aka duck duck go is based on privacy?
do tell! /facepalm
Yeah ok, let me know how refusing updates from apple works out for you.
Really, you respond with another sockpuppet?
Is google suing over anonymity? Is this article even factual?
Answer to both : no.
If you assume his argument is even remotely valid you've simply started with an invalid premise.
"If you had to confirm to company standards" - so you mean actually focusing on quality and not the type of horribly selected random crap we get?

The battery will only last 1/4 as long.

Exactly. That's why I wanted to highlight this - the title was misleading/poor.
Amazing! we replaced our backup generators....with backup generators! Good thing we don't need those heavily invested generators anymore, we'll just buy more!
Now we don't need generators! /facepalm

except that we have no idea whether he has been involved or not. It's ALLEGED .
Way to show your bias as clear as day there.
it's a preliminary ruling, it's not a final judgment in any sense. So at the moment, it means basically nothing.
The #1 thing they forget to address is: people who can't even pay them due to region locks, etc. Their own control and attempt at release windows prevents a variety of global customers from even giving them their money.
That's not how it's worded from the article. They could have said "it's not designed to support linux", not "it wont' run on linux".
actually, parent is correct. There are antitrust issues to be investigated here. This has nothing to do with choosing to support something or not, and is a very bad move by intel.

that psycho pastor had involvement in what ended in this situation.

No, I think most people *don't* read it that way. So let's not start with this anti-linux rhetoric via a single lazy anon troll, please.
misleading comments are part of the problem.
Linux has been doing damn well, in enterprise and has been making traction with everything.
The minute the phrase "linux desktop" is involved you know the argument is misleading at the outset. If it was "how would you change the linux experience" is one thing, but acting as if linux desktop is broken is simply an untrue statement.
