He could still release it as open source to allow for a "kit" which could be assembled over a weekend without properly understanding how it works internally.
Ubuntu 6.06 was my favorite. These days it's quite buggy distro. For example, on most laptops the brightness adjustment in Unity desktop goes in multiple steps as the backlight event has multiple listeners. Why don't they take care of such a simple and obvious thing?
but by now I assume most of the YouTube content plays through HTML 5 if one want to?
True. All clips can be watched in HTML5 now in YouTube, including live broadcasts.
I think there's still many local TV broadcast services which require Flash. For example in Finland I still need Flash to use YLE Areena, the public TV/radio broadcaster's online clip hive.
As long as the 64-bit version fully supports Flash on all platforms, I'm all for it. Like it or not, you need to support Flash, 64-bit or not.
Umm...Chrome comes always with the integrated PPAPI Flash plugin. Actually it's the only way to use a modern Flash plugin under Linux. As far as I know, the crusty NPAPI Flash plugin on Linux (package flashplugin-installer in Ubuntu, for example) still gets security updates, but is otherwise stuck on some ancient version number.
Yep, that's true. NSN has been doing that stuff for a long time, although it was kind of a separate company to Nokia. In the recent times (especially when the name change from Nokia Siemens Networks to Nokia Solutions and Networks happened) NSN has become part of the core Nokia.
If we look at the article, the computer was taught only the specific algorithms to create a jigsaw puzzle arrangement or shuffle a deck of cards. Then the program just ran the data through it to create various optimal results. It didn't have capabilities to expand the concept of the trick, for example.
Slashdot Mirror
And the one weird bot somewhere deep Russia which posts the random "m0d do3n must charted have BSD come as" message to every article.
But it's the perfect match for a modern microsecond-long attention span.

There is also the Finnish demoscene event Assembly.
A big amount of software these days would do just fine with a date code as the version number.
They didn't rewrite the kernel from scratch so that puts it into 6.4 - 6.99999 range.
Just a minor nitpick... Software version numbers are not decimal numbers but separate units (major.minor).
After 6.9 comes 6.10. After 6.99999 comes 6.100000.

Do we know that the Jolla tablet is open? No fancy unlocking or cracking required? Open source drivers?
Doesn't seem much different when anyone brings up X11 vs Wayland, etc. It all boils down to 'I DON'T LIKE CHANGE!!11'
It's funny. Is there a single Linux component that people are eagerly waiting for in Slashdot?
Like "can't wait for this, it's going to make the Linux ecosystem so much nicer"?
I expect the next round of silly whining to start when distros begin to adopt KDE5. Will stock some popcorn for that one.

Plus this is somewhere that a desktop environment like unity would shine unlike a more conventional desktop.
Unity is a conventional desktop, not a mobile UI.
All that remains at Nokia is a skeleton of upper management
Nokia is now a network solutions company, and they are doing pretty well.
(and not even that really, most of those work for Microsoft now too. Including Nokia's CEO).
Nokia's current CEO Rajeev Suri certainly does not work for Microsoft.
That's just one interpretation, but yes, you are correct.
Ah yes, that's true. :)
ASCII and UTF-8 are both text encoding schemes, not document formats.
But Patch Tuesday is a channel which frequency is about 30 days.
You seem to be right, Alex. If one reads the MS bulletin carefully, one can see that this patch applies only to Windows Server editions.
Well, Patch Tuesday is the main channel, simple as that.
I remember them too. Legend of the Red Dragon II was fun.
Actually a lot of game servers were run by Internet Service Providers.
He certainly is a mysterious character.
Bennett is just the latest incarnation of Katz and that other guy before him who I've thankfully forgotten the name of.
Roland Piquepaille.
