So you're saying that physical media is better than a USB cable? Like the poster above, I do not see the practical difference here. In one case, you're transferring an SD card from one device to the other. In the other, you're taking a c

Asus has shipped a tablet with Honeycomb on it. Also, they have also released the GPL-covered Linux kernel code as well.

But Google has released the code to partners. Motorola has shipped the Xoom. Acer is releasing a tablet in a couple of weeks. HTC and Samsung are also releasing devices in the next few months. If the code is good enough to go in producti

I'm not too sure what the difference is here. One of the reasons that Blackberries are so common in the business and government sectors is because of the security(and privacy) that they provide. The two are basically the same thing. The I

Keep in mind that neither 101 or 105 actually count towards a CS degree in any capacity(either major or minor), so those aren't courses that anyone getting a CS degree would take anyway.

The courses that were mentioned were all 100 level courses. Can anyone who went to Stanford(or knows the courses) comment on how technical they actually are? It's a good sign if these are actual technical courses, but if they're just Word/

These aren't students transferring to a CS curriculum. These are students in other majors taking the intro CS courses to(most likely) fill out a general education requirement and to get "computer skills" on their resume. Hopefully, this wi

Those courses were basically a senior design project with some added software engineering topics put on top(the year I took it was extreme programming and something else I don't remember). In all honesty, the actual coursework was pretty us

I'm going to only cover the desktop/laptop space. This approach actually makes a lot of sense in the smartphone/tablet market, especially with all the multi-core chips coming out. It's true that the bare minimum that a codec needs to do

by cube13 16y ago
On OSX, I can accept this argument, because Quicktime is the primary codec... repository(for lack of a better word) for basically everything on the OS. However, I don't think it's the case for Windows or Linux. On those systems, it should

The comment states that the iPad is upscaling the iPhone 3GS graphics on the iPad, rather than just using the higher resolution iPhone 4 retina graphics at near full resolution. I'm 90% sure that this is the case. I think that the main rea

It's necessary if it's GPLv3. The anti-Tivolization clause means that the manufacturer needs to provide the ability for the user to sign their code. From a support point of view, I cannot see any reason why any hardware manufacturer would

I agree that this is a good reason why Google doesn't want the code released, but I do not believe that it is a good reason not to release the code. If your Open Source software is good enough to be shipped, the code should be good enough

Not really. The line is this: long adv = min(recwin, (long)TCP_MAXWIN << tp->rcv_scale) - (tp->rcv_adv - tp->rcv_nxt); So it's really: long = uint(long, (long)uint32) - (uint32-uint32) Here's the problem on x64: you're

The inline keyword is best thought of as a hint to the compiler, not a command. The compiler is free to ignore the meatbag telling it to inline functions if it chooses to. Macros are substituted in before the compiler, so they are always i

It's a working fix, but isn't the proper fix. The real issue is the size difference of the long type for 32 and 64-bit architectures. Bruce Evans doesn't explicitly mention this fact, but it's the core of his reasoning. Since long is 64-b

The real end result for both systems is that the devices just don't get updated. The only difference is that we know that Google has produced code, and MS hasn't released any. Blame doesn't really matter, because at the end of the day, nei

It is true that Rovio isn't forced by anyone to create a GPL version or to release their code. I should have pointed this out. However, their options are pretty limited, considering they want to make money off of the software. They could

Linus is saying that programs that use the Linux kernel HEADERS need to be under the GPL or LGPL. If you're using system calls(and associated headers), you're fine with any license, but using kernel headers to directly access kernel calls
