All consumer devices marketed to children should have rounded corners. It's basically law.
All computer display screens ever were rectangular.

Agreed! I read that with all our phone calls, if we didn't have intelligent phone switching (and used land lines like the '40s) that 2/3 of the population would run switchboards! Aren't we glad we let that dinosaur die? Europe should simplify starting the next big thing, not guaranteeing dinosaur industries that we know are done.
After we hit that ceiling, modern CPUs improved via work-done-per-clock-tick (& multicore).
- Long CPU pipelines that empty on branches were traded for predictive branching (compilers, Intel) or simultaneous branch execution (ARM).
- Caching has improved. ARM can drop to 16-bit mode in 1 instruction, so a smaller cache can still get more instructions in it.
When Intel first reached 3GHz, the 1.8GHz AMD chips often beat their benchmarks. That's where ARM chips are since they have nothing to prove by advertising high GHz to MFRs that know better. The JVM is experimenting with running single-threaded code on multiple cores now (by finding variable relationships and working around them). As long as the result is the same.
I've dealt with some video converter in Linux which was so thin a layer that on the final "Convert" buttonpress you'd see the command line tools called and their results in a twisty. The GUI say % complete notices and updated the progress bar if you didn't want the terminal visible. I always thought that made superior tools since I could copy out the command and use it manually.
Doxygen is similar where their GUI just makes a plaintext file that: "doxygen plaintext_config_file" can then run.
In both of these, a GUI is basically a man page. Instead of RTFM we could say: Learn by GUI. That's where I'd like to see GUI going.
Carrier's barrier to entry is too high for market forces to cause Open Source to win here, and the oligopoly isn't trying to undercut each other with better phones. Pushing it to the users would be my preference by requiring a "reset to latest stock Android" app shortcut.
That way fragmentation that doesn't improve will be easily replaced and market forces prevail by users avoiding the junk. The carriers know this & won't bloat their phones with junk.
Agreed! All US property should be subject to US property tax. Go simple: Suing for $10B? Pay $1B tax upfront since you have valuable "high rent" property.
Power consumption is usually compared per unit of work, meaning a good test stops measuring power when the routine is done.
So if you use half the power at any given time, but it takes more than 2x longer, then you used more power for that unit of work.
Considering that, Linux may have used less power doing your copy.
D3D11 has a Gallium state tracker now. Getting Wine using it's another story. Of-course the Gallium drivers are being reverse-engineered for NV & ATI since they won't share spec, code, or blobs, but this kernel & the next both have serious improvements in those areas. I recently got an Intel Sandy-Bridge laptop (i5) since it's got the best open-source video card built-in at the moment. It plays StarCraft 2 nicely in Linux. It doesn't compare to $1000 Windows rigs but was half that price total and plays everything I've found.
They want "what the rest of the world uses" == "what's been advertised". Promote it with CDs, Google Trends for Linux vs Microsoft Windows (especially if excluding the US). Legal doesn't matter to a country in revolution, but freedom (knowing it's not a spy/sabotage platform) via peer-review does.
Thanks for replying. I never intended to invalidate your points as lightweight devices must consolidate on a toolkit and generally avoid things like Python that requires an extra layer of adapters. I'm fascinated about a QT-based Gnome with QT apps since none of the "experience" requires GTK specifically. A Unity-2D desktop may soon not load GTK for simple startup.
Open-source also spreads developer brilliance across toolkits, so having all the greatest software requires running multiple toolkits which is optimizing for the user's time (given a capable machine).
If the program's exclusively yours, add a dual-license for GPL and use GPL pieces to make a more attractively feature-complete version while allowing free use for your parts only. Nowadays most libs are LGPL & can be used anywhere without transfer of license.
Both KDE & Gnome's footprints are shrinking with the increased sub-component sharing (display, notifications, config, packaging). Running apps from both toolkits simultaneously (Canonical's intent) will cause more sub-pieces memory sharing while encouraging devs to use the best of both toolkits likely resulting in a Gnome desktop that's mostly QT-based (See Unity-2D) with GTK being another obsolete tk to leave.
What if I get the phone, can the provider, get a Clear 4G-to-Wifi device & plan and go that way?
Sounds like this could push out a range of devices that then could be used for Wifi calls on the 4G devices & make Clear 4G (or other broadband over air services) more attractive.
Hmm, my hand-built Linux machines don't see the problem, nor do my purchased laptops which I overwrite the OS with Ubuntu Linux. A basic security rule is that the OEM weakens the chain of trust that the OS is running what you want. If you "trust" Windows then reinstall Windows.
Bloatware is a penalty for not understanding the environment & economics PC purchasers enter into. Smarter newbie PC users go to an individual & want a custom build and a walkthrough.
Communication with the card/firmware is well-documented (OS driver), so once you push the firmware to the cards you then know how to talk to it and can write a driver for any system to talk to it.
People follow their morals. Laws that deviate from morals are often ignored, like the lists of anti-car laws the established stables pushed through. Nowadays they go after individuals where they could not back then.
The morality of sharing comes from every common religion as well as a conclusion of many atheists (ex: FOSS establishment). Copyright has always been directly opposed to this. It was only introduced in the US to fulfill the constitutional clause "to promote science and the useful arts" as that is how Britian did so. Copyright should be repealed if shown to not meet that task.
Per the mailing list, they're working on the basics now like running anything, so it's a low priority. Their plan is to advertise the remote viewer's list of renderers options to the app (X, OpenGL, RDP), and pass messages between the toolkits & the remote viewer's renderer.
Summary (I thought it was well-known): BPA and triclosan are dangerous, yet approved in USA.
Under 10% of cells in the human body have human DNA, so we're buckets of "germs". Killing all surface germs (with triclosan) is not likely healthy.

My Chrome client does video chats just fine in Linux.
IPv6 has multicasting
YouTube Live was just introduced
Looks like multicasting will live on, but people will route around the cable providers.

Did they mention if they had antivirus running?

As an American, I feel the same way! It's just a tool to help sell more stuff here. Any suggestions?

Brain cancer gets noticed.
LightSpark is coming along though nicely (for Linux).

multi-thread it for starters
