Which browser makes it clear to the user that some unknown organization has "verified" the business hosting the domain they are at? All a user sees is a little lock, no matter what cert you buy.

You can argue that, but that doesn't make his statement a fallacy. Many people will argue that you are wrong.

I find the opposite on the error handling. The lack of exceptions is one of the few things I like about go. I just wish they had done error handling correctly instead of the stupid kludge they put in because "durr what is an ADT?&quo

Why are people acting like this is impossible even after it has been done? Remember onlive? Notice how the latency was entirely the same as your network latency to their servers, and there was no problem with encoding adding any (noticabl

All you get is register dumps. Compare the ati and intel info on that site. Intel has released full docs. Ati has done as little as possible to be able to say "we released stuff" for publicity purposes.

>1080p video is nowhere near 1458 bytes. It doesn't matter, that's the point. Your MTU is almost certainly 1500 bytes. You are sending 1500 byte packets at the most. That does not cause latency. If you want to argue that we

No, they haven't. They have released bits and pieces under NDA, but never actual complete docs. That's the problem. Maybe you should have listened a little closer to the "flak" to see if it was actually legitimate pro

Latency is a measure of the time it takes for a packet to travel to its destination. No part of ethernet networks cares what the payload in those packets are. You don't magically get more latency because the data in them can be inter

I'd love to see them just publish docs so we can get good drivers instead. Bluescreens from video drivers are still a problem on windows, it is an even bigger problem on linux with fewer resources going into making the driver, and few

by asdasf 13y ago
That doesn't make any sense. If you can handle ~20ms of latency from your TV itself, how is <1ms of latency from a local ethernet connection a problem?

None of them come with the GNU coreutils installed. You have to install them if you want them. I'd recommend learning basic unix commands instead though, it doesn't take very long at all.

People won't get that same sense trying it now. FreeBSD has gone so far towards the random bloated complexity of linux distros that you really don't feel much of a difference at all. To get that feeling now someone would need to
