Mousing over the "?" icons in the prefs page -- which I was on because a notice at the top of the comment page was bugging me to go there and switch on classic mode which I was already using -- I expected at least a tooltip. And so I got one: it reads ".ui-icon-help". Very helpful.
Just noticed the preview/submit buttons no longer have a tab-focus highlight in chromium too. Nice.
PowerVR is the company responsible for the infamous Poulsbo chipset. I don't think nVidia's GeForce 7800 or whatever core is going to be threatened by them any time soon; nobody knows how to program PowerVR chips effectively, not even themselves.
Smartphones push 200, 300, 400dpi already so it's not like 96dpi is even a hard limit. I'd be willing to pay the premium for a 300dpi desktop screen with insanely high resolution, but nobody wants my money apparently...
Nothing bizarre about it, deliberate incompatibility between versions is part of Microsoft's protection racket. Wouldn't want companies skipping their annual upgrade payments.
It's not like carriers are any stranger to sudden, forced updates - it was only a few years ago that half the internet broke for a few days because some Cisco router models had a hard limit of 2**18 IPv4 routing prefixes. Half of IPv6 - the first half of the address to be exact - is designed in such a way that this particular problem doesn't have to happen.
Oracle still imposes size limits on the database? How crude. You should try a real database like PostgreSQL.

Xfce 4.8 Released

If my Linux Xfce 4.7 install is any indication (I exorcised PAM long ago, so none of this fancy bloat actually works), you'll just lose the ability to shut down from the menu. And maybe automounting.
It's the NT kernel, supposedly. And it's not like they'd have a hard time porting it, they have the source. Besides, porting to a CPU that isn't a 486-derivative would be fresh in their minds after Windows XP 64 got kicked to the curb.
Sony has always kneecapped the various hardware revisions of every console it's put out. The original PS1 had a parallel expansion port, and a Game Boy-style link cable port. Those disappeared fairly quickly. The PS3 shipped crippled because they didn't want to pay patent royalties for force feedback like every other console maker.
While it's certainly *possible* to brute-force 64 bits of network address space, I'd imagine such people have better things to do with 18 trillion packets than go looking for grandma.
It's a misfeature, like how HTML5 at one point declared "--" in the middle of a comment verboten. Encouraging people to use a format scheduled for patent-litigation genocide against end users in only 5 years is ridiculous.
"Correct" use of the language is to ignore string functions entirely and use an optional extension, because they don't actually support Unicode. In 2011. Amazing.
You know, C actually has a valid excuse for that sort of thing. But I'm sure you'd rather call people names all day like a retarded skript kiddie, than admit PHP's Unicode handling is ass-backwards and crippled compared to everything else out there.

So is the E17 desktop "officially" released now, or what?

I've been blocking JS on slashdot for years, can't say I've missed out on anything.

The people need to pick a government that works for them first, and there's no evidence that's going to happen in this century.

Well if it's real, the price of NiMH rechargeable batteries will probably skyrocket as people stockpile Nickel for these things...

He's talking about users of IPv4-only ISPs, not Yahoo
Only beginner programmers think "characters" are important.
Tell that to the PostgreSQL developers. I'm sure they'll be falling over themselves to redefine every single string function in terms of bytes.
Your sort of thinking is why I18N is not working after 20 years of trying.
Maybe you should try harder.
~ $ perl6
> '£'.chars
1
> '£'.bytes
2
> '£'.encode.contents
194 163
> '£'.encode('iso-8859-1').contents
163
Hey, someone considers it enough of a limit to turn capslock on to spell it out. Twice.
Open as in Goatse.

Borg.
Why would anyone encode in H.264 for flash users when flash is adding WebM support? This guy's an idiot splogger who has done *no* research at all.

How many people have a house with curtains and blinds but no doors or windows? That's what your NAT gets you.

Awesome Unicode support there, buddy. Performance of C combined with the user-friendliness of an interpreted high-level language! Oh wait.
Who's full of shit again?
It's phoronix. Whining about prerelease drivers is their entire business model.
