Isn't public domain similar? I've never heard anyone else take credit for Romeo and Juliet, but I have never considered if that was honor or law.

Isn't that a normal response to a voluntary procedure? Fear? Uncertainty? Doubt? Mine hurt for more than a month. It's worth it and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but hate it when people go around telling everyone that it wi

This is a great point. Time synchronization between systems that do not share a clock line is a pretty recent thing. It didn't used to matter at all if your clock was wrong, and many people would never notice or bother to fix it. Now i

It's really too bad that no one will ever be able to see it since they totally abandoned opening their source code.

Sounds like you are saying there is one, but you can opt out. That's crap.

Looking forward to riscv here, since it will be possible for tons of competition in the wackass chip features department. We should get some great purpose built servers out of that in 10 years or so.

If you drop two identical files into a linux repo then they will be rejected by the maintainers. You don't even need to get into a technical solution to prevent it.

Needing to ship updates frequently is the root of the problem, in my mind. If people would just build something they could stand behind, and not rely on any environmental flux corrections to stay useful, software would go back to being quic

One thing not mentioned is that the reputation of the programmer is tied to contribution quality. MOST programmers make low quality contributions because they are hired en mass to develop a project at a price point. They code for a buck. Th

High paying customers are going to have high speed connections. No one will talk about it, but it's discrimination. If you are on a slow connection, they don't want your kind on their site. If you try, they will mock you for not k

That's because the pentium 2 chip isn't decoding the video. Try it with a software decoder some time. It hardly works. I had to disable video scaling before my 366 would stop dropping frames.

My ublock install doesn't block self hosted ads. They have to come from an ad server to be blocked.

Unless you are running AOSP, you are not using stock android. FirefoxOS WAS FAST. I demo'd it on single core 400mhz device and it ran circles around my dual core 1.5Ghz android with cyanogenmod 11.

Mine goes 8 hours with a mainline kernel. I usually charge it once a week. Apple could/would/should do better.

I don't think that's true. Arm chips just don't clock as high as intels can, and no one* cares about clock speed any more. That ship has sailed. Multiprocess web browsers will drive the sales of massively multicore arms (with

Oddly, ARM is eating the PC architecture from the inside. What's on your raid card? An arm. What's in your usb devices? An arm. What's in your SSD? An arm. A PC is beginning to look like a network of arms with an intel drivin

That would probably be less power efficient than just running a single core alone at reduced clock.

The need for IBM PC compatibility has been dead longer than software sold in boxes. Longer than compaq has been gone. Longer than USB has been a thing. Longer than current CS students have been alive, even!

No he means that running x86 legacy mac programs on an arm mac with an emulator as a compatibility shim would be slow. Linux is totally different, because you can clone an entire DISTRO, cross compile it, and have a native arm environment w

mozilla is just as bad as chrome now. Checkout all the call home URLs in about:config some time. There are dozens of features that are on by default calling home all the time. I tried to sanitize my phone once to save bandwidth, but ended u
