I haven't looked at the commercial or what the Lumia 920 can actually do. If they could reproduce the results of the Optical Image Stabilization feature closely enough with different gear, it's fine for me. However if the commercial shows things which are too far from what the phone can actually do, then I consider that lying.
Unless the commercial explicitly says something like "shot with a real Lumia 920", I really don't see this as a bad sin. If they could use other tools to show the consumer what the OIS feature is about, that's fine. There's a lot of stuff that is "faked" in advertisements anyway.
In my head I ran various scenarios in which a fresh 32-bit OS would be needed (older hardware, 16-bit apps, 32-bit drivers)...but in all those special cases you could just run Windows 7. I just can't see why they are putting resources to maintain a niche 32-bit flavor of Windows 8!
I stopped playing games when I went to uni, shortly after HL came out. In my mind it's a modern game, and it's things like Quake and doom that are old.
Heh. I somehow tend to count Quake as a "modern" game and Doom an old one. My division is really about the full-polygon engine, a technology which we are still using. Of course the new titles have taken it to completely new levels in regard of detail and physics simulation. Unfortunately sometimes the complex world is just props and a tube run in which you must press X when the game tells you to.:S In a way HL2 was one of the games that really started this trend.
The reason why so many people stick with XP, or Vista, or even Windows 2000 is because it just works.
BTW there is a Japanese guy who has made a improved version of Windows 2000 KERNEL32.DLL, making it possible to run some software that should work on XP only.
I'm also 27 and recently stopped drinking both booze and caffeine. They just make my head fuzzy these days and I thought I'd experiment with a life where I use no substances. Recommended.
What bothers always about the concept of reincarnation (with a carnal body, so not TFA), is that if you don't have any memories or experiences of your past lives, what is left, then? How do they make any impact? An explanation could be that the previous experiences shape life in some way that the person cannot sense.
The internal microphone and camera of laptops can be too easily enabled (and silently without you knowing it). Typically you don't need them all the time anyway. There should be a clear on/off switch for them in every laptop, just like you have for WiFi.
The kernel has been in a very good shape for a long time already. It's already a "It Just Works(TM)" thing. The aspects that I am interested seeing advancing are in the userspace: desktop environment and games.
Ah, that reminds me also about our dear friend BadAnalogyGuy. He seems to have had radio silence for pretty much exactly an year though. But hackers never die, they only disappear.

Why are you using Linux desktop? Windows 7 and MacOS X deliver you a premium experience without having to worry about broken shit like this.

I don't think it's too much to ask to also set the message priority to "Important".
And while you are at it, why not also grill a couple of sausages above the fire.
Also the F-Secure researcher Sean Sullivan was suspicious about the information really coming from FBI.
I know, it's crazy.

Or you could have something quite different, like this, or this, or this, or this (what I'm actually using to type this message).
Please, don't put just "this" in every link. Let me FTFY...
Or you could have something quite different, like Ergodex DX1, or Win Mini, or Optimus Maximus, or AlphaGrip iGrip (what I'm actually using to type this message).
Better?
You probably meant "not much difference" or "same concept". If you say "same difference", you would need to have two or more differences to compare.
Sure minuet did it, but those guys are certifiably insane.
No, it just originates from Finland...
Not really, as it does not have a VGA connector.
Who cares?
I guess it's still some kind of win for slashdotters to have Linux in as many machines as possible.

Yup. The corrected version is like:
find -print0 / | xargs -0 md5sum
At least the basement is all for him.

Well, bcache is indeed very interesting. Such feature is only available at DragonFlyBSD at the moment.

The Firefox ESR FAQ includes their actual release timeline, according to which we should be past version 30 in two years.

and build a Haiku box for fun/the rest of life/as a hobby/to hack on/to help the Haiku Project.
Acch, that's damn hard to read! You tend to see it as "fun/the"..."life/as"..."hobby/to"..."on/to" pairs.
How about: "and build a Haiku box for fun, the rest of life, as a hobby, to hack on, or to help the Haiku Project."
