The cold fact is just that running a rich graphical UI, games, etc. can actually require more horsepower than some serious science stuff, even though the latter might seem more demanding.
Kim Dotcom got into major legal problems and arrested with Megaupload. Now he's just launching a new huge "warez" site like nothing happened? There are these certain people that just swipe off the dust from their shoulders and move on to the next project, no matter how badly they get beaten.
With the progress LibreOffice has made, the only people who use Office are to please those who are extremely picky or actually NEED the features. The only people who would pay are those who need it or don't know better.
Indeed. I have found the feature of not completely fucking up the formatting of my documents to be rather useful.
Even if I felt the need for a new version of Office, i will be avoiding cloud apps just as I did in the 90s when they where first tried. Frankly, there is big enough problem with applications (games for the most part) requiring an internet connect already without putting the whole thing out there. Even if we ignore the security issues, I dont want to have to be online inorder to work on a document.
Is this serious? Its a fscking editor for gods sake. Is there a "vi community"? Who the hell cares enough to even bother? Or perhaps I'm misguided and there are thousands of people out there who find editors the most fascinating programs ever written. Is there an "ls" or "rm" community just out of interest?
Emacs is so complex and featureful program that it merits for a community. The other programs that you mentioned (vi, ls, rm) are so simple that any discrete community is not necessary.
I found it odd that they disabled it. I have re-enabled it in all of my Ubuntu systems and it works perfectly. There's much worse bugs in Ubuntu than hibernation support.
why would that start a flame war? Java and C# are basically equivalent.
Maybe that would exactly be the first spark. "Why the hell would you do that?!? They are basically equivalent!!" Then some passionate Java or C# coder would point out that "they are FAR from equivalent, just see how this garbage collection feature is implemented much more nicely..."
the problem with the TI stuff is that while the hardware is excellent, the dev tools suck bad, the support is non-existent, and they have the gall to want you to pay for the privilege of developing software for their platform. atmel excels in this regard. their visual studio-derived IDE supports both AVR and ARM.
+1 for this. AVR Studio is very comfortable program to use.
That's part of the problem indeed. You can support the OSS projects too, but the donation model seems to not be that effective. Commercial products force you to pay the creators to get the product in the first place. More robust income, motivated paid developers, more full-featured product.
It is clear from the product vision that GIMP eventually needs to support CMYK, but it is impossible to say when someone finds the free time and motivation to add it.
Right there is the sad problem of open source software. Here we patiently wait years for someone somewhere to have "free time and motivation". That would never work in a commercial software company.
Yeah, possibly not. I guess Windows 3.x was an all right OS, but at the time the most interesting things you could do were actually still in DOS. This started to partly change when 95 and NT4 came out.

At least Firefox did the right thing and doesn't run plugins automatically anymore by default, with a recent enough Flash being an exception.
Actually it's the second Tuesday of each month.

At least Apple lets me rate apps! Steam doesn't even let you do that.
What bugs me is that they do not show proper screenshots of many games. There's just lots of cutscenes and concept art, not real gameplay shots.
By the way, how much does the DX -> GL translation impact the performance of games under Wine?

What others?

Why is the uPnP service facing Internet anyway? Shouldn't it be accessible only from LAN?

The cloud feature is optional, you dumbass. :)
A small fix still needed. You probably meant:

You could try setting up lm-sensors. Or is your motherboard not supported?
So that you could monitor in how much pain it is in?

There is AutoCAD WS for Android.
Yeah, possibly not. I guess Windows 3.x was an all right OS, but at the time the most interesting things you could do were actually still in DOS. This started to partly change when 95 and NT4 came out.
Is this true?
It's brave to admit your mistakes.
Exactly. I'm pretty sure you can find a native Android application that beats a completely antiquated version of Photoshop.
