I'm not sure you have the right to be upset about lack of attributions when your articles lack attributions for the sources of information and all of the images.

Thanks for seeing this work through, Mathieu. > possibly user-space task scheduling I'm very interested in this aspect. Do you have a sense of whether there's enough in the kernel now to build this, or are there still pieces m

H.264 is a video codec. If you mean AAC or MP3, which are usually used in the audio track along side H.264 in an MP4 or MP2-TS container, nobody outside of low power/embedded bothers to decode the audio codec in hardware, it's jus

Also because it's a stressed member, which is significantly easier to build in a V layout than a flat layout. The lower CoG thing with flat engines is kind of a myth. You end up with the exhaust headers below the engine, so the engine

I find it more apropos to suggest that they're all cooks, but meth cooks.

It doesn't seem as healthy to me, or as interesting a language, as it was before Hoare was unceremoniously booted from the project.

Right, that explains why we hear about this exact scenario playing out all the time... oh wait.

Without the Banshee developers, Ubuntu wouldn't have Banshee to ship, so it's not particularly debatable who deserves the lion's share. Especially considering Ubuntu's incredibly weak contributions to open source in general. What Ubuntu d
