What concerns me is that the children who play lots of video games have an extremely adverse reaction to any suggestion that they should read, do something constructive, or exercise.
The plan his to encourage third-party lenses, 13.04 (or 13.10, I forgot) is supposed with over 100 lenses, many of them community developed. The complaint previously was that while there is an off switch in the settings, lenses could ignore this. This didn't matter as long as there were only official lenses, but now it does. I guess they wanted to prevent similar complains, but they did not consider that on/. being diligent is bad when you are Canonical.
But the Ubuntu press release explicitly says that the code will be shared when the project "is completed", which it is obviously not. And getting upset about a marketing video seems like a waste of time. It's not new that a marketing video may not present the actual current development status, but the one that you want to sell down the road.
Yeah, I'm similar, the PC was only used for comparison of graphic power. You may not give a fuck about PC games, but most console gamers still want a somewhat contemporary machine.
Right, and the graphics and CPU power available to games will be exactly the same as the PS3. I don't think so. Look, I dislike Sony just as much as you, but one can do that without making ridiculous claims.
I agree that that's an option. But I don't need to reiterate to you the (perceived or real) advantates of consoles over PCs. It's a fact that some people prefer a console (at least for some games/applications/rooms) whether you like it or not, and I still think it's stupid if the OP complains about the PS4 being faster than the aged PS3. And what's really dumb is the AC saying that wanting faster hardware is automatically the same as having entered in a pissing contest, and to accuse console players in particular just because a new console generation will be launched. If wanting faster hardware was somehow wrong in itself (which it isn't) the charge should surely be directed at PC gamers.
I don't know what you are talking about. The OP had complained about PS4's horsepower, saying that it isn't needed for streaming. I replied that PS4 will not be just for streaming, and that for other games (disk-based) faster hardware is obviously desireable.
OK, but that's just a difference in opinion about the better marketing approach, and it appeared to me that you earlier insinuated that they would try to violate the GPL ("if they plan on releasing source at all"), and risk to alienate the whole community.
Well, has Ubuntu for Android been release to the general public in binary form? It does not look like it, and as far as I can tell they will release the source when they release the binaries.
Hehe, anti-Ubuntu moderators out in force. This wasn't informative, the press release mentioning a source release which I linked to in my sibling post was TFA and linked from TFS.
Images and open source code for the Touch Developer Preview of Ubuntu will be published on Thursday 21st February, supporting the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 smartphones.
It was also an economic necessity. The elitist approach that was in place until the sixties could simply not produce the numbers of collegue graduates needed.
Interesting, but the greek and latin parts don't seem too difficult for someone who actually studied those languages for 6 years or so, which must have been common in 1899, for someone seeking entry into Harvard. The history stuff is impressive simply because it's ancient, but don't forget that current students have to deal with 20th century history on top of that and a more complex view of history in general, and it's no surprise that some stuff gets left behind. The math exam is quite a bit simpler than the topics and questions we would get on average in the exams for general qualification for university entrance (at age 18 usually) during my time (end of the 80ies in Europe)
The actually used "low-tier" editions don't explicitly forbid it (I don't know about the 3rd-world editions). Even Windows 7 Home Basic allows virtualization explicitly. Of course you need one license per VM, and one for the host.
You can copy/paste between virtual machines, and VMWare at least (and I think VBox as well) let you hide the desktop, etc., of the virtualized OS, leaving only the app's window.
Good for you, I've never seen a PowerPoint file open fully correctly. I guess it depends.

It's a good helper for old MS Office files when MS Office itself chokes on it. But if your daily work involves exchanging current MS Office files with co-workers and customers, with all involved parties editing the documents, you absolutely have neither time nor will to constantly deal with even minor issues. And like it or not, that's the reality for a lot of office workers.
Nokia acquired Trolltech in 2008, and added the LGPL option in Januarly 2009. That's not so long ago. Ubuntu's first release was 2004, Canonical was founded 2005. By January 2009, they had released two LTS versions. So, the LGPL option came much too late.
Slashdot Mirror
You're so predictable, but unfortunately for you, that would only apply to me if he had said "children and adults" rather than just "children."
But I fail to see how that was an appropriate, logical response to my comment. Hopefully it was just a joke, but it's hard to tell over the Internet.
Well yeah it was a joke, but you did act like an 8 year old whose XBox had just been taken away.
do something constructive
Which is subjective. Nice try, though.
Maybe you should go scuba diving.

One, it's a burdensome regulation that disinclines me to invest in rental properties in Massachusetts.
I can only see this as a good thing.

It happens in Europe as well, just sayin'

So basically console gamers are in a e-penis contest with pc gamers.
Who said that? You know very well that it's simply fun to have a new machine with better game graphics.
Ironic considering that if you stream games all that superior e-penis power goes to waste.
Nobody said PS4 would be stream-only, as far as I can tell.
Maybe console gamers want hardware that is not several years behind current PC quality?
