The problem is that if they start getting a significant share of the browser market again, they're almost guaranteed to start their old extend/extinguish trick. Microsoft needs to stay an 'also ran' in the browser market until they learn to play with others.
I was under the impression that the fix did actually speed it up, but at the cost of battery life. You could have got effectively the same performance enhancement by changing the process scheduler to 'performance' rather than 'on demand'. As someone with an older phone running Cyanogen, I was hoping this fixed helped. My performance problems tend to be more memory related though as the older phones are quite short on RAM.
No problem. I picked up a couple of pair as well. I thought these were a decent value when they were the original $40 price. I hope their replacements are as good, but I'm okay for quite a few years with my backup stash now.
.. and that's one of the number one productivity (and joy) killers out there for me; poorly thought out, or unnecessary process. I think 'process' is like salt. It's better to have none than too much. The big problem with most places is that process is only ever added... never taken away. It needs to be reviewed regularly to make sure the benefit is worth the cost.
I like these). They actually have a higher end one on clearance (being replaced with something with a ridiculous name). The ones on clearance include both foam and silicone tips, but as I mentioned, the foam ones mold nicely. I'd recommend the clearance ones if you can still get them, but I haven't tried the ones that replace them. I already picked up a supply of them when the price dropped frop $40 to $10.
I find that any of the 'marshmallow' type buds already do this in a few minutes. Pull the earlobe down and forward a bit and poke the earbud in. In a matter if minutes it's softened up a bit and sealed quite nicely. I can wear them all day. The big advantage with the in-ear is that they block ambiant noise, so you can keep the volume quite low.
Well, either that or they're wrong, or being lobbied by Google's competitors as happened in the US. Regardless, there's no problem with them looking into their behaviour, although I would suggest a few other companies that are deserving of an examination as well.
Google's own American Government said that they were breaking the law.
Actually, I don't believe they did. The FTC were looking into whether they were or not, apparently due to heavy lobbying from Microsoft. I was under the impression that Google voluntarily changed a couple of practices and the probe was dropped.
Legalese is very far from concise. That's part of the problem with it. If it was more concise and was frequently refactored, the law would be much shorter and easier for the average person to understand.
Have you ever noticed how many people write English well? On top of that, there's writing well, and writing concisely. Where one person may get an idea across clearly in two sentences, it may take another five or six. Any language will have the same problems to varying degrees; the trick is to coax people towards being concise.
It's extremely hard to create something large an keep it maintainable in JavaScript. It's not quite the 'write-only' language Perl can be, but it's not great. It seems to be a symptom of all dynamically typed languages to a degree, but JavaScript even lacks the consistency of many others. It's possible to create maintainable code, but the language fights you.
It will most likely work fine with Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc, as well as Mint and Debian. Linux dependency management is very mature, and there will likely be minimal problems getting it working on other distributions.
True, they have a much softer ride than Hondas, which most Toyota drivers would call 'rough', or 'harsh'. I'm not sure it's enough worse that it would cause the excessively slow driving I generally see. I do see Corollas being driven fast on rare occasions, but I assume they're stolen.:)
It's a generalization, but I find Toyotas (mainly Corollas... surprisingly the Echos tend to be driven faster) are driven more slowly and more cautiously by a fair margin than any other car. I've generally attributed this to people buying Toyotas because they have a reputation for being safe. I think Toyota is the right company to attempt this as if the price is in the right ballpark, these people will buy it. This is good, as these people *need* it. At a certain point, overly 'cautious' driving causes a lot of traffic problems and stirs up the aggressive drivers out there increasing accidents. As I said, a generalization, but a fairly reliable one.
There are likely a fair number like me that don't have a machine with a decent graphics card because of the lack of games in general. My primary laptop just won't cut it for Steam. Now that Steam is out for Linux, my next one will.

I too have that fear. The real basis for it is because Apple is the new Microsoft. Better design sense, but more greedy and evil.

Well, if their product reviews are not objective, they can't really be trusted. What use are they?

There's a person finding exploits for $10,000 per month and Oracle, Microsoft and Adobe don't subscribe to it? That's just silly.
Why would you not develop systemns in it, or rewrite existing ones? Just stop using the ridiculous browser plug-in. It's the new ActiveX.
Canada has been working on something like this as well, using banks, etc, as external providers and SAML.
You can think of it that way if you want. It works right up until you want to leave. Rails guide ... jails trap.
In many cases you should, but you're correct; not in this case.
I find it's way too open to interpretation to be described as concise. Precedent based law would not be required if it were actually concise.

What do you do when your video card does not work well with a game under Windows?
