And the dumb printer problems will happen again. We have printers that understand documented protocols like PS and PCL, and we have the ones that need rasterization using the host CPU. The final result is a lot of crappy 3D printers that will work only with Windows, and a specific version of it, because manufacturers will refuse to update the driver, so you are forced to buy a new one for Windows 9. Publish the damn printer language documentation instead.
This make me remember how my uncle scans with and old cheap parallel scanner. He needs to start a virtualized Fedora installation I configured for him so he can scan with it because he can't do it on Windows 7 because there is no updated driver for it (and he needs Windows for some work supplied applications), and there is no need for a new scanner because the 10 year old one works, it is planned obsolescence by drivers
Wrong, an OS is a kernel + standard user space libraries + standard executables. Firefox OS is an OS using the Linux kernel much like OS X is an OS using XNU kernel, Windows Phone 8 using the Windows kernel, Windows Phone 7 using the Windows CE kernel, etc.

OpenCL doesn't mean it will need a GPU but that it can use one if available. OpenCL can use your CPU and there will be performance advantage on those cases too, they can use tuned OpenCL libraries instead of rewriting everything inside LibreOffice

Give me debdelta and we can talk. Everyone say apt is faster that yum, but until deb based distributions give me the equivalent of deltarpm as an stable feature, yum will always be faster for me on my awful internet connection that apt
I think this is the licensing model Android uses without calling it that way. Google give access to the code only to to their partners, they develop features in their private repository, then after the first device ship, the code is properly pushed to the public repository. Everyone has access to the code at that date, but non Google partners are at a market disadvantage, they will be late (theoretically because some OHA members are slow to release new releases than non members)
I don't know who is lying, but you can be a liar and a traitor too, if you lies are created with the specific purpose to damage your country, lies have consequences (and no, being a pathological liar doesn't count)
not useless for me, it allow me to write things in the URL without sending every keystroke to Google, you know, like which host names I write there. The integrated search and URL field on Chrome behaves for me like the Ubuntu integrated search. I don't want to send everything I write there to Google. You can disable this in Chrome but you loose search predictions, so or you send eveything or we (Google) will not give you predictions. With Firefox I have predictions without sending every keystroke when I write a url
When you make easier to use DRM, the content owners that already used DRM with another technology will still use DRM, but there will be more DRM in content that previously was DRM free, because it will be universally accepted by browser implementing the standard. That means more "no access for everyone"
Good external applications and device base applications don't have the same UI on tablets than phones. Phone layouts don't take advantage of the extra space. One of the "problems" in Google Play is that many applications use the same phone layout on tablets. I haven't seen any reference that make me think that Mozilla is already committing code to make the base OS applications adapt to tablets
If you haven't read blogs ot commit logs about the updates of the Firefox OS platform and base UI to adapt to tablet resolutions/aspect ratios in the open, then there is no Firefox OS support for those devices yet. Mozilla isn't Google, writing code in secrecy
Not always, some sites put user content on another domains, For example if those cookies are blocked you will not be able to download file attachments from Gmail
Because adding options to remove and add code from the base OS adds complexity, you will need to add a package manager that checks dependencies, when applying firmware updates, you need to check if the application is installed or not. The Android "solution" to this problem is to be able to disable applications, this way the OS behaves like the applications doesn't exist, without adding the complexity to manage different configurations on an OTA update, every device has exactly the same copy of the firmware
I am not well versed in the dpkg format, but RPM has Relocatable Packages, not many people use it, but if you want to do something like Ubuntu wants on an RPM based distribution without creating another format, You hack rpm commands so it can check a per user packages database using relocatable packages, no need of a new format
This demo is plain Javascript, but only uses as subset of it (asm.js), the VM needs performance enhancement to run (asm.js) efficiently so it is not an easy task to support other browser, unless you call "supported"to run it very slow http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2599
This requieres Mozilla JS enhancements (asm.js) currently on nightly builds, It can work on other browsers but without the performance tuning made for the JS subset that is asm.js it will run slow. Chromium bug proposing to add support for asm.js http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2599
getting the job done, the wrong way. Looks like you never cared about assistive technology and people that need it. A table is a table, a definition for tabular data, using tables for other things break the correct dictation/help the assistive technology provides. Content and presentation should be separated, period.
Yes, I am using it for an internal XML dialect that need styling and for which HTML is not appropriate. We use the Apache Batik internal CSS processor (because we are using Batik for their SVG support, no need for a duplicate CSS processor independent of Batik)
You are confusing structure with layout. Tables are a used to define document structure, when the data to display is tabular. to use tables to layout the document when the contents of the table is not tabular data is plain wrong!

don't worry we will make Javascript 2.0 binary too. With the number of compilers targeting Javascript I don't see this as a joke :(

I think it was a good decision to continue using that name when bugs started to appear, like this bug Fedora 19 bugs cannot be reported because the server side cannot handle the release name "Schrödinger's Cat"
