Hint to google: the logo on your front page would be 0.6KB smaller as a PNG, but you knew that already. How many people still use a browser that supports gif but not png? Is the extra bandwidth use from every user really worth it just to avoid reminding a handful of them they're stuck in the past?
How about just filtering any post that uses a lot of big words yet has indications of brain damage like abbreviating every other "and" to "&" (or "you" to "u")?
Wait... you bought a 10" eee with windows just to return windows and install Linux? The same eee that comes in 8GB windows and 20GB Linux configurations?
One does wonder, though, how they are supposed to "advance science and the useful arts" by publication if the publication is supposed to be write-only.
They're only write-only in the country the patent was filed in. Others are free to take those ideas and advance their own science and useful arts with them while the originating country litigates itself to death.
Who the hell would trust Creative after something like that?
The few people gullible enough to still be trusting them now, after releasing a shitty driver three years late and eventually GPLing it because they couldn't develop it fast enough to keep up with the complaints.
There's no A3D support for my Aureal Vortex card either. Which is a shame, because A3D was technically superior (real 3D hardware instead of just adding echo effects).
Maybe it's accessing a device file in a way it shouldn't. Certain bits of IBM hardware are notorious for being flaky, particularly the i2c stuff (which is in/dev/i2c-*). Oh, and ethernet card EEPROMs...
They could've just skipped them both. Distorted media depictions of reality trying to pass themselves off as real cause social problems. They need fucking warning labels saying "this is fiction" on everything.
The demo apps that came with it worked pretty well. It was a lot smoother than X's compositing window managers at the time at any rate, but that's mostly because nvidia can't write a 2D driver worth shit and Y was software-rendered.
But like everyone else has said in these comments how is this attempt going to be any different to Y/DFB/GGI/etc?
Slashdot Mirror
Why not just have a single copy of my "desktop" and move it around from location to location.
Why carry around an entire fucking OS when a simple rsync or nfs mount over a vpn of /home/~ would suffice?

Yay for premature optimisation!

For example, a desktop OS will have a scheduler optimised for latency while a server OS will have one optimised for throughput.
And then there's CFS, which achieves neither.

A euphemism for "file".
Now that you mention it, has anyone invented an audio equivalent of braille that'd work on a standard PC speaker?

Well you could always use the "make this post ugly" option... having to choose is pretty retarded though.
a = 1
longer = 2
some_variable = None
foo = 'bar'
That depends. Are we allowed to have netcat and dd installed first?
Acid is a lot of freaky corner cases that will never actually occur in the real world.
You're full of shit and have no clue what you're talking about.

RAID5 for CDs?
Install 3 CD-RW drives, LVM them. Or if you're too cheap for that use 3 loopback devices and burn/dump the image files one at a time.
Not to mention if they can't spare 4 cents an hour, they wouldn't be able to afford the electricity to run a full-size projector in the first place.
Also, 7-zip is a perfectly good compression algorithm.
Bullshit.
7-Zip is a container format, not a codec.
What percentage of the total US population does that census cover, though? It won't be 100%.

Sorry, this is 13A, Abuse. You want Spelling Corrections down the hall to the right.
Stupid git.
No, why would anyone do something stupid like that?
For that VLC works pretty well.
Didn't stop SCO, did it?
