Do you not realize how tough it is to be promoted to that office? The Executive Vice President of Employee Titles (who's also the Creative Director of Padded Résumés and Acting Senior Human Resources Strategist) does not just bandy these things around willy-nilly.
In particular, he started spec'ing a 16-bit processor (listed as a feature of this game) some days ago on his tumblr and twitter pages (its data format, registers, instructions, a "Hello World" program...).
If this is a 4/1 joke, it's a fairly elaborate and overengineered one. It's ok to me; I love overengineering.:)
Oh, sorry about the ruckus. Those loud guffaws were just rms feeling vindicated again.:P
--okay, maybe the 360 shouldn't be full-on free software, but they really should ship HDD-reset CD thingers to properly wipe the disc so we don't turn our HDDs into blank coasters (from the console POV anyway) when this sort of wipe becomes necessary.
Those sound about right. I just wish the respective managements of (e.g.) Google, Slashdot, and Canonical didn't almost-proportionally regress as Microsoft slowly morphed from Hellspawn to New And Somewhat Improved Hellspawn.
I mean, between Google+, Slashdot TV, Unity (I tried that, and it made me move to Arch Linux with KDE, with a layover in Kubuntu 11.10)...
Ah, but Comcast was careful here. They said "Comcast is committed to an open Internet and has pledged to abide by the FCC's Open Internet rules -- and our policies with respect to XfinityTV and the Xbox 360 fully comply with those rules and our commitments."
In short, they said they are "committed to an open Internet" and complying with the FCC's (weak) rules, neither of which (if they are even doing either) would imply actual net neutrality.
Indeed. Plus, when the masters of the internet decide to outlaw video-blocking, it won't matter whether our newly TV-ized internet is managed by a shitty plugin or a shitty markup language.
The source article mispells H. Peter Anvin as "Alvin" where he's listed for "The Linux Kernel Organization". I normally wouldn't have cared but for all the times I've seen his name on various Linux bootloaders...he's kind of a big deal.:)
Yup, that's a technical term! You definitely wouldn't want the usual 2-foot computer UI when you're on your couch fairly far from your screen. Heck, I have my occasional issues with it when I'm not so far...
Perhaps, but now he has to tell any future employers that he has a drug-related criminal record, which to their eyes is like being a ghetto gangsta incompatible with their clean, upstanding image.
...not that big game companies really radiate a clean, upstanding image anymore. DRM and crazy pricing schemes and "no you can't play this over a LAN but hey like us on facebook and you'll get exclusive shiny horse armor!" and all that.
Then let the user (or, if not, the browser) choose a separate player backend and player control panel, and recommend some default params (autostart, controls,...) and some default DOM methods (play, stop, etc.) if the object has an audio/[name here] MIME type thinger. Not everyone will like the quality or controls of, say, Firefox's default audio player, so hook the desired player to the desired layout of buttons and go from there.
I'm a bit biased, though; I want the entirety of HTML5 to join Windows 8's Metro in a spectacular plane crash. Actually, not the associated script- and CSS-side stuff like Web Workers, Web Sockets, setImmediate, CSS animation...those seem useful, even crucial.
Slashdot Mirror
I know right? Those prosecutors have been studying their LISP...
I've always read DNT that way. Just reject the cookies and pixels outright, with plugin_of_choice or IE9 Tracking Protection or what-have-you.

That's Barack O'Bob the Builder for ya.

You can say he Work Smarter, Not Hardered that comment.
Patent suits!
Given the size of that book, I'm pretty sure a Javascript Game of Thrones would need like 226 disk partitions.
Ha! You got me. :)

Of course they don't have kids. Like the amoebas they try to intellectually emulate, they reproduce by binary fission.
Shakespearean Dokuro-chan? Good God, I've seen everything now.
I know, right? It evokes such fantastic images as shitting down a decapitated alien's neck!
Way better than that Picasso dude.
It would actually be a blast for them were it not for those damn vertical stabilizers.
The TSA will be checking at the aisles there soon too. The agents will double as customer service.
"Welcome to Wal-Mart! Would you like a shakedown, staredown, or gropedown?"
"Nah, I just want a flatscree--"
"GUARDS! Terrorist with a bomb and a Quran on aisle 5!"
"I can barely read the New York Post let alo--" *gets tackled to floor with a thud*
I gotta admit, I saw that *cough* fly girl in the middle with the wings of a moth and the back of a Bayonetta, and I was like "DAT ASS."
