It can run a root shell, but the manufacturer and carrier, together, can't add items to the interface? What, is the firmware burned into ROM or something? Obviously I'm missing something here, since I thought Maemo was quite customizable.
I was about to say the same thing. I use Simplify Media or Orb to stream to my iPhone or a laptop. It's not entirely as convenient as local music on the device (especially on a plane), but the limitless capacity is hard to beat.
Besides, most of my music is live concert recordings, which I doubt any streaming service would have.
AMD obviously has a vested interest in making their scheme an industry standard, so of course they'd want to support Larrabee with their GPGPU stuff. Larrabee has x86 lineage (of some sort, I'm not clear on exactly what or how), so they'd have to have at least some x86 support to be able to use their scheme on Larrabee. It seems to me that if they were going to bake some x86 support in there, they may as well add regular CPUs in as well (if you already wrote 90% of it, why not write the other 10%?).
I don't really know anything about this kind of stuff, but this news strikes me as unsurprising, given the environment.
I bet a lot more bandwidth was "wasted" here talking about it. Facebook could "save" even more bandwidth, if they shut down all their servers and returned nothing to every request. This is a silly discussion.
Does this have any advantage over NemusSync? It doesn't require jailbreaking, but Nemus lets me maintain a calendar on my iPhone that isn't synced or erased when I sync my Google calendar data, which is a feature I do use. What does Google Sync have going for it?
Are you suggesting I shouldn't be able to cut a link from one window and paste it into another? What about legitimate cross-site scripting, like using your Facebook account to comment on Gawker Media blogs? It's not nearly so black-and-white.
So my vote goes for Replacing the JavaScript VM with a hardened generic VM, with a fixed interface to the outside world, and adding JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Haskel, Ocaml and more as languages to it (via add-ons, or pre-compiled?)
That's an interesting idea. I was thinking about setting up something similar...a VM with a browser all set up with whatever plugins I needed inside the VM. It would reset itself to the base config I had left whenever I closed it (grabbing bookmarks and such from something like Weave or Google Browser Sync on each fresh startup).
Having two computers, one running Windows and one running Linux, is not at all unusual. Especially with those netbooks with Linux on them being all the rage right now.
Oooh, who was it? This way, you can tell him the next time you see him that you informed the world of his choice so he can face the consequences at the polls.

"I will personally block...". Sounds pretty autocratic to me.
He probably got 100,000 troll comments, but what did he expect?
Don't link your blog on Slashdot, then make it invitation only to read. Stupidest thing I ever saw.
I guess it's a good thing incandescents aren't illegal or anything.
April Fool's is fun and all, but I'd really like to know if anything happened.
Wow, I just asked for a dupe, didn't I?

I'm sure I've seen that before.

The answer to that problem is making hard drives that use less power.
It would probably cross the line, but I'd love to see them do a Zeitgeist report on the porn people have in there.
How is what I said a straw man? He said 100%, I was asking how much of 100% he meant.

Increasing effort is a sign of failure, according to the summary.
Just as soon as they stop all the cocaine from coming in.
So, if I've reached my X number plateau for the month on the 29th, I can't nuke my burrito? No thanks.
Android hasn't shipped either.
Uh, Push notifications? Dropping features is in Apple's play book lately, as well.
Apparently, it's not perfectly fine, since a self-signed cert brings up scary warnings in Firefox 3.

Don't feel bad. I wrote my MP about this, too, and she added me to several spam email lists, soliciting donations for the NDP.
