I wonder if they have a similar room for source code. They obviously keep it for some of the newer games if the amount of unoriginal ports and sequels are anything to go by...
Best thing for dealing with a stuck molex is a pair of pliers. Even when they're so small that you'd be applying the same amount of force, it seems to be far easier.
Right now I'm just waiting for them to add bool support to PDO-PgSQL that actually works. There's several pages of (unfixed or wrongly closed) bugs about it on their bug tracker.
You must be referring to variable-interpolated strings. Forbidding all use of SQL strings would be a bit retarded, considering it's the only database interface PHP implements...
PHP is gradually turning into Perl 5, but on the other hand Perl is gradually turning into Perl 6.
As long as there's at least _one_ programming language to fill the void between retarded (VB) and incomprehensible to humans (Perl6) then it's OK with me.
If they want that market they have to start putting out hardware specifications, so that people can replace their appaling drivers with something functional. Cheap ultraportables aren't gonna run windows blobs.
The article only mentions it comes with a generic "2.4GHz RF dongle". Why don't they just stick to standards? They've got BT built in on their newer models...
After rewriting half of GNOME in C#, what do they have to show for it? Zero compatibility with windows.Net apps, a dependency tree the size of the Amazon and the ever-looming patent threat.
And over in the blue corner, we have KDE. Not only has it actually shown an improvement in the past three years, they've quietly got it running _on_ windows. They weren't even trying to!
Yes, I'm probably starting a KDE vs. GNOME flamewar, but if you've read this far down you're likely too bored to care anyway.
Putting the GPU on the CPU, in AMD's case, means the graphics chip doesn't have to access main memory by proxy through the CPU's on-board memory controller.
What'd be nicer is if they would stop pretending it's a discrete processing unit and just call it SSE5 or something, so that everyone gets access to a metric assload of vector/stream hardware without any of this stupid "driver" business.
They wanted to modify the Linux based Linksys routers, and sell their modified software. However they didn't sell much, because people bought it, recompiled it, and then distributed it for free. This is all perfectly legal per the GPL, of course
Sorry, but taking someone else's open source firmware, adding per-unit product activation to it then selling the end result after attempting to strip the copyright notices and credits from it is not legal per the GPL, no matter how much of a Sveasoft apologist you are.
This happened to me last week in fact. On one distro's default setup, everything works perfectly. On another one the PHP scripts die abruptly after the headers with no output, no logged errors, zilch. It turned out to be mod_php5 wasn't working when fastcgi was. On the other hand, all the broken systems were debian-based. I'm not sure who the blame lies with for this, but given debian's recent reputation I'm a bit biased until I've tested it more thoroughly.
Actually it sounds more like they don't know how to develop for it, which is why we see these regular slashvertisements from "anonymous readers" that point to the IBM developerworks site. They're trying to enlist/.'s population as free rentacoders.
Nintendo hasn't seemed to realise, after several years, they have so much piracy because they make homebrew so difficult.
All they've achieved is making the barrier for homebrew equal to the barrier for pirated games. Homebrew hackers are essentially doing all the work for the lazy, stupid warez kiddies who otherwise would have figure out how to do it themselves.
Sony almost had the right idea by giving the PS3 a bootloader. Sooner or later someone will crack the hypervisor though, just for the sake of running glxgears fast.
The Nano also has Via's hardware-accelerated SHA+AES - for laptops, that means wi-fi WPA2 and some HTTPS. In other words the Nano would wipe the floor with the Atom for website browsing.

Why bother keeping FAT around? UDF is better in every way, and it's even more widespread.
There is currently no way to play Dirac files on Linux, without 1994-style patching and compiling of huge swathes of software.
How about `sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-schroedinger`?
Took all of two minutes for me to find that, and I'm not even running debian.

I wonder what'll happen when all the jet fuel is used up.
By that logic, my food should've gone bad days ago. Maybe even earlier!
Is "2 years" the solar equivalent of fusion's "25 years"?

Dunno about you, but my eee _is_ dominated by GPL software. :)
So which of you complainants is going to be the first to write a gnupg support patch for Firefox?

I don't understand why only MS can do it.
Let's fuck up all their de-facto standards with GPL-only extensions and see how they like it.

If Via CPUs are "crap", then by your standards the AMD Geode and Intel Atom are a complete joke? Right?
Just because you can't play cookie-cutter FPS games on them doesn't mean they're "crap".

Faster according to who exactly?

It all sounds a bit Itanic to me.
Maybe people realised a $10 _phone_ can provide the same functionality.
