I find the justification presented for only Vettel having the technology a little strange. It's common to test new systems on one car before rolling them out across the team. If the technology works and is reliable, Webber will have it

As much as I admire the work Tesla and Elon Musk are doing, I can't help but feel that the press releases issued by the company are at times overly defensive. We all know there is negative rhetoric bouncing around about this incident.

Just a question re. this video - how relevant is it in non-US jurisdictions? Does most of the advice still apply for, say, the UK?

by anoother 14y ago
Sounds like you're using the proprietary Nvidia driver? Set all your screens to 'separate X screen' and then check the 'Use Xinerama' box. You may have to set the correct screen offsets in the Nvidia control panel (or xorg.conf) after resta

Hopefully, it's the first step towards truly resolution-independent interfaces. Imagine differences in screen resolution being differences in quality, as opposed to scale. Of course there will need to be a lot of research into UI/UX to make

by anoother 14y ago
Yes, but this just amounts to scaling via the compositor and graphics stack (hardware-accellerated, of course), as opposed to being left to the 'screen' (post-GPU-hardware/firmware) as would be the case when actually driving a screen at non

by anoother 14y ago
While true, to an extent, it's also the case that resolutions other than native will require some kind of supersampling (eg. AA), unless they divide cleanly into native resolution - a problem CRTs never faced. This results in both blur (ngl

Do you have any data to back this up? I have compiled kernels on an ARMv5 device off a (I believe PCI-e-hosted) 7200rpm SATA hard disk, and it _is_ slow.

It's a constant f/2 lens, but that's fairly irrelevant as, given the way the camera works, you could use focus stacking to get the whole frame in focus if you wanted. Of course, that depends on either software features or a lot of manual la

Thanks for the tip, but the jetBook seems to use a TFT screen: "jetBook uses a huge, state-of-the-art 5-inch VGA reflective monochrome TFT screen" ( http://www.jetbook.net/specifications ). No word about resolution but I'm skeptical that it

I understand PDFs aren't a great format for books, but there are some cases in which it'd be fantastic to have them on an e-reader. For graphical content, such as technical drawings/illustrations, wireframes or just B&W document proofs,

The Nook STP runs Android, and it's pretty trivial to get Android-native PDF readers up-and-running on it. None are yet optimized for the e-ink screen, of course, but some have an option to turn off animation which helps somewhat. Something

Judging by the other comments here, it seems that shortly after this was written, the financials went horribly awry for Porsche... Anyone care to explain, preferably in a similarly understandable style as this article?
