Well RSI and CTS are quite closely related, and as someone who has latter I can say that touch screens are worst possible input device possible. All swiping gestures cause static strain, especially to wrists, which makes long time touch sc

Actually comparing Arm versus x86 is really like comparing apples to oranges. One is RISC, other is CISC. One is good with running multiple threads on single core with highly sophisticated branch prediction, other concentrates having many l

It also has remarkably little information. I know it is supposed to be just introduction post, but still some research data and/or actual implementation should have been available. Now it is just "Intel has done that" and people should beli

These freedoms mentioned (with addition of free education) are called democracy in northern Europe. This is also why we have difficulty keeping straight face when someone claims that US has democracy.

There is only 2 rules in kernel development which you can't break: 1. Kernel APIs to userland are always backwards compatible 2. If you break something, you will take responsibility If maintainer breaks both of those rules, how can you acce

They are writing it during this weekend, but press release for hackathon was month ago ( http://pastebin.com/sKKnRL19 ) and if I recall correctly he was hinting something about this project month or two before that. So there has been time f

I might be waving hands here, but I got impression that actual components that do raw processing in GPU are not that complex. Complex part (and which produces the performance) is the pipeline feeding data into those units. GPUs are also pro

Any sources for that software stack part? Only information I managed to find was that AMD was contracted to create Xenos core, but there was no mentions who made software (I would assume AMD) and especially no information about licensing.

No sane open source driver developer would agree to NDA in order to write driver. You wouldn't be able to contribute any other driver project (in that specialty area, which might be vast) until your NDA ends. And of course, device driver wo

Porting is not really so bad issue, problem is that all sound and input port code will not work after year or two because of libraries changing, forgotten and deprecated. What I really do hope that Steam will choose libraries which might co

It gets only worse when you keep adding more binary files. After doing this for while your repo will not work unless you pack it, which will take horrific times. If it will succeed: my git was 'surprisingly' segfaulting when trying to acqui

Server side OAuth is easy to implement, even without any library: you just send login parameters and callback-url where you get actual token that can be used to authenticate user. Problem with natice client is that, well, you cannot give ca

To get masters from "teaching track" in Finland (which is _very_ appreciated during job interviews) you need quite hefty load of padagogy and sosiology studies on top of your usual master's.

Chips that are able to put out more power than current netbooks and still fit into smarphones are not too far away, I'd expect those be ready for market in couple years. Handhelds would be phones that could also be used as laptops/dockable

What I believe they are meaning with this is the next generation smartphone market, not the current one. WP7 and iOS will be needing total rework to fit in, whereas Meego is fine even at the moment (..when it is stable at least!). Targeting

Using IDEs with netbook is not really good experience: screen area is just too small for having all components on screen same time and you cannot help noticing that modern IDEs do need way too much resources to be smooth on such tiny machin
