If you concentrate the sun to "4000 suns", you also need _far_ fewer panels, so I think this fear might be overdone.

Doesn't Trademark law operate on the basis of possible confusion? And I definitely see that risk there. IANAL though.

I think it's not entirely valid to generalize from one example to the "State of eGovernment in Germany". Don't get me wrong, it's not in a good state. But also not always as horrifying as this example. (And it'

So code fully optimized for ARM/Cortex-A15 is almost as fast as only partially optimized code on a 1.2 GHz i3? Well, good to know I guess.

Kind of interesting that these "corporate" bundles always remove the EFF from the list of charities.

I downvoted you because you're putting Monads on a pedestal and misrepresenting their purpose. When you mean IO (or perhaps ST and State) please don't say "Monads". Remember that [] is an instance of Monad too, and it ha

No, I called IT support and they fixed it for me.

Even the most savvy computer user will make stupid mistakes... For example I once wondered why my display didn't work when I had apparently accidentally hit the "Input Source" button so the display was no longer set to DVI an

Google Authenticator doesn't need network. Battery however is required of course.

Kind of funny that Bill Gates would have reverted his position on patents. (But maybe Gigaom is misquoting there, maybe he is referring to "intellectual property" in general.)

rng-tools is supposed to feed entropy from a hardware random number generator into /dev/random, but feeding it /dev/urandom instead adds fake entropy.

Ouch. The assignee does not seem to care or understand why this this is a problem.

That doesn't mean the designs cannot be improved... And once somebody releases an improved design, the older ASICs become far less useful.

Maybe you should look at i3, which allows you arbitrarily nesting tabs and tilings. (I myself use XMonad with tabs grafted onto it, but that's mostly because as a Haskell fanboy I can't not use XMonad.)

If Ubuntu hadn't abandoned Gnome 2, I might never have switched to XMonad. So thank you, Ubuntu. I'm also a bit surprised that the author of the article finds Mir to be a good idea. If they think a new display server is needed, th

I'm conflicted about whether to upvote or downvote your comment. Calling Americans "fascists" just goes too far, but you have a point. (I'm German.)

Do you have evidence that Berlin is the most innovative city in Germany, or did you just derive this stunning conclusion from your gut feeling?

Kind of curious that the article ends with mentions of Brazil and China... I think neither are the best options for young French people right now - for one, wage levels there are significantly lower than in France. Canada, USA or Northern E

"Cloning a repository happens rarely, but in the old interface it was one of the first things on the page." No. It does not happen rarely. I do it all the time. (I realize that other commenters have expressed the same sentiment am

That almost makes German/Dutch wages seem good... (average wage for a just-graduated developer is around 35000 euros in both countries).

It seems like Haskell users are quite intent on not using Javascript... Elm is written in Haskell. So is Fay. And of course ghcjs.

Because mentioning that it's Gnome 3.7 is so much less important than the bug number. (The original submission title did include some editorializing perhaps, but at least the reader had a chance of knowing that it was about Gnome 3.)

Your suspicion is likely wrong.

This should have been a reply. Attacking somebody else's comment by citing him in a new top-level comment is bad form.
