Its about time they stopped doing a Microsoft and dicking about with "coooo , its so preeetty" UI stuff and bloatware functionalty that no one needs and starting fixing bloody bugs!
I haven't seen any memory leaks in 3 yet. Its Javascript engine is light years faster. It doesn't have Edit -> Preferences alongside Tools -> Options anymore, just a single location at Tools -> Options.
Have fun waiting for HURD-fox 1.0. In the mean time, I'll take what's available.
You know, the EU and friends have been making all of these wonderful monitoring technologies to stop terrorism from happening.
One of these days a major terrorist event is going to happen, and there won't be a blamed thing any one of their spycams can do about it. I can only hope they'll realize their "solutions" aren't solving anything... but I'm not too optimistic about that.
I'm tired of reading about what corporation or project Microsoft has hooked up with this week. Open-source software is about the community (and thus partnerships), but first and foremost it's about the code. The community comes because of the open-sourced code, not the other way around.
When Microsoft actually starts releasing code under a real open-source license, then we can start talking. Maybe.
Students visit a campus once or twice a week for personal consultations or for lab work that has to be done on site. Progress of each student is followed by computer, which assigns end term marks on the basis of tests given throughout the term.
Again, a vision of the future! I probably go to class once or twice a week and my end grade is indeed determined by the Scantron sheets I fill with Rorschach inkblots.
What I really want to know is, how many of the people who had computers at that conference were users who had no clue what IPv6 even was, much less how to configure their computer to use it.
It's one thing to say IPv6 is ready because a conference filled with engineers could download their pron with IPv4 turned off. It's entirely another thing to say that IPv6 is ready because it works without my mother even knowing the difference.

Happy Pi Day

March 14, 2015 is going to be awesome. I think we should all coordinate our time off and have city-wide festivals (feastivals!) celebrating pi while eating ungodly amounts of it.
My congratulations go out to the KDE 4 development team. While this release may be a little rough around the edges, it's an excellent base and framework for some seriously good releases to come. Thank you!
Probably the best example of this is the GCC tool set as it was developed by Cygnus software (google around for Michael Tiemann's description of how to make this work -- it's brilliant.)
I'm looking forward to seeing our favorite spoony bard in 3D for Final Fantasy IV. I'll buy Tactics Advance 2 only if the plotline doesn't pander to the 12 year old crowd. Us 20-somethings play the DS too - just look at the success of Hotel Dusk.

Slashdot. News for Narutards. Stuff that matters.

1000 core machines? Imagine a beowulf cluster of those!
How then will I get my prons?
They'll tell you the sky is purple if you'll only install Linux because of it.
If only I had mod points...

It's stunts like this one that make me happy I get all my news from unbiased sources like Slashdot.
Now there's an idea for a prank...

Well, even if DX 3 is a massive failure, we'll still have the High Definition Texture Pack to keep us going.
