I remember the time when cookies being set was such a big deal. I remember seeing Leo Laporte (on ZDNet.. the screensavers? ) admonish websites who didn't have a privacy policy stating that they would never log your IP/access to their website or set any cookies. How times have changed:)
Do you happen to know the failure rate off hand? Also did you do any research into which manufacturer has the least failure rate before deciding on the brand?
I think that's because most of the prosecution under the BS Espionage act isn't very public. I think some celebrity should get sued by the government so that it would be written all over the popular trashy magazines...:)
Yawn.. really? Criticizing others for not knowing multiple languages? Where I live in the people I meet day to day can't even get English right, forget learning another foreign language...
India has some great engineers but 90% of those graduating have just memorized stuff and passed an exam which has a pass rate as long as you have 33/100.
Maybe, but I think its the other way around. Apple does not currently have any problems making less money, as long as they make a high profit. Android phone makers however are on razor-thin margins and only Samsung is making any real money from selling Android Phones. That is not a good sign IMO. Maybe HTC can do a turnaround this year though. The HTC One looks pretty cool.

Although not necessarily an anti-virus but I'd like it there was anti-malware for OSX. I had to clean my dads macbook the other day and some nasty shit was lodged deep into the operating systems anus. Apparently my dad had googled for "youtube download" and installed some scammy software because he wanted to download some golf shit from youtube. And now theres dozens of places where these fuckers hide now.. Just to list a few..

There is something awesome about a thin client experience where everything you need is in the cloud/central datacenter. My only problem is I wish someone would just come up with a server side software suite taht I can buy and put on a server of my choice. Even though I consume almost all of google's services individually, theres something strange about giving up local storage/control to a third party.
But who knows, maybe in 50 years we'll all be on $10/month Google PCs that are free/inexpensive to buy.
My sony touchpad doesn't work on linux out of the box. Its one of those touchpads where the entire thing is a button and depending on where you click (esp on the bottom part), its a right or left click.
Well.. what they sell is created/summarized from user data and so it *is* user data. What else could it be?
You might want to phrase it as not personally identifiable user data. But who defines what personally identifiable is? You or them? Personally I don't care. I use a privacy extension to block all of the ad companies.
It amazes me who people who werent born here feel they have a right to come and go as they please and any hinderance is 'stupid' and 'doesnt make sense'.
Dialing back/ahead the time, people will find themselves on different sides of that sentiment.:) I think the H1B visa holders are the least of America's problems. All that is the legal stuff. They're just following whatever immigration law the US has.
Wow. Are you high by any chance? I wasn't commenting on your entire life experience.
I don't know what ancient processor you're using that requires 15 hours of compiling. Even if I generously consider that sum to be the total for 5 architectures. Any modern $100 cpu can build either one in less than an hour. And if you have an SSD as you probably should - if this is your professional work and not a hobby - that time can be cut by quite a large amount. Anyway.. good luck with your 15 hour compilation marathons.
a number of optimisations make debug information harder to make sense of. Even simple things, like common subexpression elimination, can result in debug information that is difficult to understand. Inlining, function specialisation, basic block reordering, and so on can make it hard to understand the debug info even if it's correctly preserved by all of the optimisation passes, which it isn't.
And? 4.8.x doesn't help with any of those so I am not sure why they're advertising it as such. In most cases -g does a good enough job of telling you which line of code you're at when you break inside a debugger. Single stepping (if you're stepping via lines and not instructions fails in the typical cases as expected) I've been using a build of 4.8 for the past week or so. My original point was having debug info preserved in addition with having optimizations turned on - is not particularly new or noteworthy.
How is that different from the way any other company should be treated? Should people not point out that their previous such products were canned after X-months ? After all, if Google wants our data, we should be pressuring them to keep their products around for a long period of time. When no such user pressure exists, Google will just keep on launching new products that capture user data for monetizing and when they are unable to do so, they simply shut down their projects without any repercussions. (The repercussion here being negative PR.. )
You couldn't be more wrong. Both llvm/clang and g++ are easy to compile on most unix-like systems. Neither is easier. For relative definitions of easy ofcource. We're not talking grandma-level-easy here:-P I maintain builds of both for my work - which I build from source every couple of months or so.
On performance, they are comparable. (Intel's compiler beating both of them quite handily)
On design, clang is superior because of its modular design. Afterall the LLVM project was designed with the sole intention of replacing GNU GCC toolchain. Historically FSF had an negative opinion on modularity (esp w.r.t plugins) when it came to the gcc toolchain ( http://lwn.net/Articles/301135/ ) and the llvm project has no such requirement, freeing them up from a design POV.
Thats about a tweet sized answer as you can get for such a broad question:-P

"point out flaws" seems to be a new way of saying "i made this shit up" while maintaining a false sense of propriety.
India has some great engineers but 90% of those graduating have just memorized stuff and passed an exam which has a pass rate as long as you have 33/100.
Oh really.. 90%? Where did you get that from?

... then all they have to do is to set some arbitrarily high price or put some ridiculous terms in their license.

I guess because it has the maximum amount of software available (well.. default repos anyway).
So dont use gnome3. Whats the big deal?

How is this a troll? Even if you don't agree with a single word, I don't think its a troll comment.
I'm sorry computer hardware is so confusing for you. Sony did not manufacture the touch-pad. This model is used in other laptops as well.
My sony touchpad doesn't work on linux out of the box. Its one of those touchpads where the entire thing is a button and depending on where you click (esp on the bottom part), its a right or left click.
Just another troll. Someone saw the success that APK has had and decided to get into the annoyance game.
FTFY :P

My going on 3 year old PC was bought to play games, and it plays everything coming out at max or near max settings.
Wow. What is your gfx/cpu combo? And what games are you playing at max settings?
It amazes me who people who werent born here feel they have a right to come and go as they please and any hinderance is 'stupid' and 'doesnt make sense'.

Actually, only stupid "analysts" who understand nothing about technology are screaming that because their job is to inflate the share price.
