I worked for a company that used all its resources to fight off McAfee patent law suites. By the time the battle was won, the attorney's owned enough of the company all they needed was to convince one other investor to become a patent troll company. The only way out was to sell off all of the assets; intellectual property, customer base, hardware, etc. Essentially, the win was for a McAfee competitor and the attorneys. They purchased the intellectual property that was "verified to be a patent McAfee infringed upon" via the money the investors had put into the business. It sounds like Huawei could become a pretty nasty patent troll.
David Airlie's HotPlug video work is really cool. I'm not surprised something bigger is coming out of it. What I really like are Elija's thoughts on putting it in the kernel so support is for more than X. Below is from the DRI-Dev thread. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2011-November/015985.html

The reason I opted for doing this in kernel is that I wanted to confine all the changes to a relatively small set of modules. At first this was a pragmatic approach, because I live out of the mainstream development tree and I didn't want to turn my life into an ethernal merging/conflict-resolution activity.
However, a more fundamental reason for it is that I didn't want to be tied to X. I deal with some userland applications (that unfortunately I can't provide much detail of.... yet) that live directly on the top of libdrm.
So I set myself a goal of "full application transparency". Whatever is thrown at me, I wanted to be able to handle without having to touch any piece of application or library that the application relies on.
I think I have achieved this goal and really everything I tried just worked out of the box (with an exception of two bug fixes to ATI DDX and Xorg, that are bugs with or without my work).
I don't dislike Java. Well, I like Scala which requires the JVM. Anyway. I was using JavaScript as an example of a language that lets people leave out grammar in their code. Sorry to confuse.
The capitol investors no longer own majority interest in Time, Warner Bros Studios, or Time Warner Cable? Evidence proves otherwise. ie. It is still run by cartoon characters.
The reason I highlighted "It should allow more multiprocessing" was to point out that I was only commenting on that part of your post. I thought maybe you needed something java'ish for a project.

I would think you would get rate shaped but only by ISP's that are also media companies. eg WarnerBro's Cable. Those ISP's should be boycotted anyways, IMHO.

optional semicolons: bummer. optional parenthesis: bummer. resembles Java's syntax: resembles the syntax that resembles C++ but not really...bummer. operator overloading: why no link?

BTW, this is opinion not flame. If you like Java, that's cool.
It requires NSE to finding a way to identify and delete all copyrighted files from its servers, which is practically impossible.
practically impossible?!? If a human compared every file being uploaded, and already on, just one server to a list of copyrighted material they still wouldn't be able to effect the files munged onto the server from other servers. Everyone involved knew this from the start. Encrypted P2P is the only way to go.
It is to take advantage of the insurance law. If you get a ticket for not having your insurance card they haul away your car and take away your license. Even if your not guilty, ie. show up in court with your insurance card, you have to pay to get your car out of impound and renew your license. It is fairly common for people to get their car out asap to avoid fees. When they are driving it away they get busted. Their car gets re-impounded, they go to jail, and they pay. Now that the bill is so high they will never be able to recoup the car, savings, and dignity, the state tosses on points -- the state auctions off the car and keeps the money. Dont forget the elderly. Forget to update your drivers license? Congrad's you receive a $250 fine on top of what you were stopped for...and points!

Flash is a compressed container not a format.
I was wondering the same thing. If you can write HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and can type ffmpeg -i inputvideo.file outputvideo.flv what does Adobe add?

From most of the posts it looks like Microsoft's investment in PC gaming has payed off. Despite hundreds of games capable of running natively on Linux, BSD, and OSX big highly marketed games keep people chained to the Windows platform.
1. Applications. A lot of the specialty freeware applications that I use for are only available for Windows.
What applications are these? I like taking on projects that replace these types of apps.

They were even nice enough to import os and use os.path.join so it would be cross platform. These guys know something the rest of us don't?
