Well, the primary reason for the existence of SPDY is encryption everywhere and speed. Something which with current HTTP/HTTPS doesn't really exist. HTTPS is still slower than HTTP and HTTP is slower than SPDY. A lot of the speed increase c

My guess is you are looking for a discussion of ChromeOS ? This isn't that discussion. :-)

That is kind of strange how they want to make it easy to use for the average user, when I think 'discoverability' (how easy is it to find/discover features) of these kinds of desktop environment isn't all that good. To me it looks more like

I just know, statcounter claims Linux has 1% worldwide desktop website-visitors and Wikipedia has statistics that say: 2% of the Wikipedia visitors is a Linux-desktop user. Half of that is an Ubuntu user. All mobile (non-desktop) users comb

The article was mostly ok until all the way at the end. Where he completely messes up and mentioned that hydrogen cars are "completely green". Just a few sentences before that he says the car from Tesla is powered by "so-called green power"

I also think it would have been a good idea if they spent the extra 30 seconds talking about how you can have a higher-power charging station to speed up charging, I'm sure they also would point out that they may not exist where you are whe

And there is the problem. The phrase 'job ad' has the word 'ad' in it and thus anything which is mentioned in the ad was probably (re)written by marketing and thus isn't true to begin with. ;-)

What pisses me off the most about the article is that Goldman Sachs seems to have such a large influence on the regulatory body. They had a subsidiary company sent a letter to the commission asking for exceptions to the rules. The head pers

I actually think Prism was the first concept, they started it before smartphones got apps(tores): http://prism.mozillalabs.com/ EDIT: ok, maybe the iPod was first ?

Privacy and control of your own data. But I'm certain that can be solved. Just run the cloud on your own hardware and backup to your friends (encrypted obviously): http://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/

With a bunch of webdevelopers we tried to give IE9 some complicated stuff and I have to tell you, it is really buggy. It is just an other buggy browser in the series and it is way behind on the standards side of things. They are doing thing

Actually XHTML has been abandoned, this is because in the standard it says if the browser finds a syntax error it should give an error and not render the rest of the page. Pretty much all browservendors and webdevelopers think this was a ba

Even with hardware acceleration in IE9 and Firefox 4 enabled, Firefox 4 is still faster than IE9: http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/460/

Actually Firefox 4 Beta is not slower, it starts up faster than prevous versions of firefox. It has faster rendering and javascript engine. And it is especially more responsive. Just try it.

I don't. In the past you paid for the extra's because the ISP had to do extra work for it. But if the ISP sets everything up so all users have enough from the start. Like a /48. You won't have to bother them.

Sounds like what Edsger W. Dijkstra said about higher level languages, something along these lines: higher level languages are supposed to make things easier, instead they make it more difficult. You can automate all the mundane tasks away,

For some projects you also want to track versions of binary files because they go together with the code. And I read it was a bad idea to use git for those binary files, exactly because git was not designed for that.

Yep, that was exactly what I felt I was missing, processes/threads, ipc and I'm still not sure the memory usage/garbage collection handling would be great under stress.

What are the downsides of git ? So far I only heared that git does not handle large binary files well and supposedly it is good to keep your large source tree (larger than the Linux-kernel !?) into many smaller git-repositories. And you hav
