I guess compilers are already smart enough to warn about this kind of accident, but sometimes I still wonder if it would have been better to have:= for assignment and = for comparison also in C.
It's funny how the power plant in The Simpsons almost starts to look more reliable, as it has become the practice of every week to hear about some little accident at Fukushima.
In this day and age consumers are EXTREMELY sensitive to pricing. I don't need to remind you that Valve saw over 2000% (yes, 2000%) increase in Steam sales when they lowered the prices of L4D.
Gabe also told in some interview that when some game's price is cranked back up, it still continues to get significantly more customers than before the price was lowered. Interesting stuff.
Maybe they should first get rid of Unity. It sucks. It assumes you have one app open at a time, so there is no one step way to pick the 4th window of some application you have.
You can click the application icon again and then it shows a thumbnail gallery of all the app's windows.
Or maybe they can stick with X and replace unity with XFCE.
XFCE don't fuck it up, all you have to do is stay yourself.
A big thumb up for XFCE from me. It runs fast, is relatively bug-free, and has plenty of configurability. However a little tweak which I like to do is turn off the default compositor and replace it with Compton. It is slick, does not suffer from tearing problems, and offers some extra eye candy with fade in/out and shadow effects.
This kind of setup runs as fast as Windows, which is very fast these days. However on that Linux setup you will also get lower memory consumption, I was hovering around 150MB when in an empty desktop. A Windows desktop grabs about 500MB (you can crank that slightly down by disabling some services, but it is usually not worth the effort).
We'll be left with no speculationware to joke about pretty soon, looks like.
Compared to DNF, HL3 is a bit different though: Valve itself has yet not officially promised or advertised anything (unless you really want to count the cliffhanger at the end of HL2EP2). So it's only speculation among fans, unlike DNF which received a bunch of screenshots with a good dose of hype every now and then.
I hope the crusty internal automatic message system gets reworked. It has been kind of clunky to click through those and then delete the messages, when it could be done way more elegantly with something like the Facebook's notification system.

Well, they make $10 billion profit per year, so it takes quite accurately 1 second for them to earn $3,133.70.

Agree. Everyone knows this already.
Many people use only internet-bound traffic and would be fine with the WiFi speed being capped to the nearest matching speed.
"Will wayland offer benefits as decreased power usage or better acceleration, compared to using X11?"
Wayland will be simpler and faster than X11 and thus also result to decreased power usage.
This is the correct answer.
adapters are allowed, but adapter cables not
I can find various HDMI adapter cables from stores (to DVI or mini-HDMI, for example). Unless you meant something else.

Actually it's not that bad. A netbook idles at 10W, which is on par with the power consumption of a DSL modem.
My wireless router just died.
Well, can it be fixed? Maybe it's just a dead AC/DC transformer or blown cap.
Do hardware drivers make the user experience so much better?
Yes.
The Dolphin Emu guys did a nice review of current OpenGL implementations.
At the same time, AMD has done numerous improvements to the fglrx driver and released extensive open documentation for Radeon HD family.

You can only blame yourself for choosing to be part of the Apple walled garden.
Here is also a well spoken video which touches the same topic: Nintendo: Why Won't You Let Me Give You My Money?.

Drive letters have the benefit that you can be at different working directories on each disk.
Also, the Qt toolkit is excellent.

Unless I'm mistaken, he doesn't even grunt when hurt or when jumping.
I can at least remember him saying "hfffffft" when hurt by fire.
Wouldn't it be better to have a blacklist for the dangerous characters instead?
