I get it, they are reporting what they want to see kept (I want to see them kept too). They are a drop in the bucket compared to the 1 Trillion dollar the plan cuts.
Or in the plans on words:
"Cuts $1 trillion in spending during the first year of Ron Paul’s presidency, eliminating five cabinet departments (Energy, HUD, Commerce, Interior, and Education), abolishing the Transportation Security Administration and returning responsibility for security to private property owners, abolishing corporate subsidies, stopping foreign aid, ending foreign wars, and returning most other spending to 2006 levels."
"Makes a 10% reduction in the federal workforce, slashes Congressional pay and perks, and curbs excessive federal travel. To stand with the American People, President Paul will take a salary of $39,336, approximately equal to the median personal income of the American worker. "
He also goes to lower taxes which I don't like, which he can actually "afford" in his plan. The plan is certainly not what I would want, but it's the first serious plan I've seen from the Right in a long time.
Bad stories. Useless stories. Stories that are identifiable after reading the first couple comments that they are in fact non-stories, trolling, or something like that. Stories should be demote-able, so less of Slashdot need waste their time with them.
From the article: "Flash Player 11 and AIR 3 are scheduled for release in early October. Adobe didn't give the date, but you should expect release at Adobe's annual Max conference, between 1 and 5 October."
How are ground attack missions part of a "No Fly Zone"?
They aren't. All the attacks are under the "protecting civilians" banner.
And where are the anti-war protestors?
Tired.
Just wondering if it is okay to make all the strikes you want without the approval of congress as long as it is just with drones?
AFAIK Congress hasn't undone the "blank check for war" they gave to the president after 9/11.
And was the Libyan government any more evil, corrupt, and dangerous than Iraq?
Meh.. it's hard to tell anything with the media filters... but they did seem more insane and more actively killing civilians.... (whereas with Iraq, they had already killed a lot of civilians and we did nothing)
From the webosinternals wiki: ( http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Portal:Accessing_Linux) "In general, simply installing the Palm SDK gives you everything you need for full access to the Linux operating system on the Pre or Pixi. There is no special "rooting" or "jailbreaking" process. Simply installing the SDK provides you with unlimited access to the Linux operating system logged in as the root user. Palm does not see this as a bad thing. Palm provides all these tools for download by anyone, anytime, for free."
Out of almost 4,000 add-ons. That's about 6% of add-ons that were not automatically detected to be compatible.
I'm glad you brought up 3.6 -> 4.0. It almost seems like the new way of doing Add-on compatibility is better for users and add-on authors alike. Mozilla figures out what changes affect add-ons and then scan for the ones who use it. As an extension developer I certainly appreciated it.
I had been waiting for MeeGo, but am now happily on a Palm Pre Plus. It's not completely open source but so far they really respect the homebrew community. That doesn't appear to be changing with HP now in charge.
An excerpt: HP/Palm really deliver on openness. It’s NOT completely open source. However, they support their homebrew community, and be support I mean they have donated servers to them. All the devices I looked at (haven’t looked at the Veer) ship with the ability to go to developer mode, which really does mean typing in “upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart”. Which is just awesome.. The homebrew site even has (unsupported by Palm) instructions on how to upgrade a WebOS 1.4.5 device to WebOS 2.1 (the veer os). Part of the homebrew community is patches to change functionality. About 500 of them or so, for instance changing how the date displays, adding alarm options, and a lot more. Oh, and Ubuntu is a supported developer environment
And I have not looked back... For me, I got tired of changing my privacy options all the time to keep what I wanted private, private. They kept changing them so that I would have to reconfigure things, for the same level of privacy.
The GPU has been getting more powerful and is far better for certain tasks. The GPU needs to be treated more like another core processor and less like an add-on. In fact, it's being integrated into the processor on chips like AMD Fusion.
Trying to put the graphics processing in userspace should be a bad joke at this point. The Linux Kernel has been moving to Kernel Mode Setting for a reason. Yes, it's not all of it by any means, a lot of the OpenGL stuff happens between them, but the direction it's moving in should be clear.
Same issue when I was looking for a Palm Pre Plus... So I bought it online. Palm's.. err HPs new phones (right now just the Veer) are likely just as buried. This is a hard market to get into. In fact the one Palm phone I was able to get access to in the store didn't seem to work.
I ended up getting a Palm Pre Plus and really like it and highly recommend it (well actually at this point you should get the Veer or Pre3). It's not all open source but they respect (read donate hardware too) their homebrew community. http://bryanquigley.com/uncategorized/hppalms-webos
I don't see a reason why we should care that Windows Phones aren't getting "fair" time in the market, they have an unfair enough advantage in other markets. I also would much rather WebOS take off.
If you think dividing by three is difficult, I can't say that I'm impressed...your argument makes it sound like "SI is the ideal measurement system for dolts who can't handle division and multiplication"....
Animals do lots of things that aren't socially acceptable (killing, flinging poo, not wearing clothing... I could go on for pages)
Humans do a lot of things that aren't ethical (killing humans in the millions, animals in the billions, poisoning natural resources with our waste.. I could go on for pages).
I've tried them both and GNOME Shell is sooooo much better than Unity. I really have been disappointed by many UI changes in Ubuntu in recent releases. All heralded as being great usability decisions.
Cleaning up the Status panel, by adding more clicks to get to functions... Why? The notification system I just have never gotten used to. Why must I be notified of new IM's by seeing the IM text, but when I go to try to get rid of it, it fades out.
Perhaps their just not as good as "usability" as they think they are? Hardware that just works is different, they still are the best I've found in that category.
For GNOME Shell, I'm currently testing out Fedora 15 Alpha. They also now offer nightly builds so you can test without breaking your system (http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/).

WebOS Devices have a great homebrew community that HP supports. HP donated servers and help them port some of the homebrew only apps. (One example: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/06/hp-soothes-homebrew-crowd-by-reaffiming-support)

Depends on your definition of cleared.
I assume they meant: to remove people or objects from
Alternatively: so as not to be in contact with or near

Right.. so we really need this in America.
The add-on can also be used to just tell you which sites are owned by key corporate entities (News Corp, GE, etc).
Ideas are indeed weapons.
Awesome news. I wish it had more to do with people actively looking at boycotting News Corp.

But that's true, at least we have clothing...

I'm using Duck Duck Go more and more. I wonder how it would fare in this comparison... especially because I find it the best way to search Wikipedia.
It also happens to be great for privacy and a lack of a tracking.
