My system isn't shader capable and still playing HTML5 video tag consumes only ~30% of CPU while playing flash ~90%. There is no excuse for that - I could understand higher CPU usage, but not by factor of 3.

Interesting... I have ~/.cache, ~/.local and ~/.config and all 3 of them have quite a lot of subdirs and dotfiles inside.

This is much more complicated. Technology may add a lot, not just a tiny bit, but it has to be used in such way. While certainly apps are being created [and soon they may reach much harder topics, like indefinite integrals] the core issue i

Author probably never went to Poland - there is much more drunk people in than in Germany. And I never experienced problems with Germans in Germany. And untaxed work in Germany was quite prevalent prior to last year May. And some other thin

There is also gprbuild but it is used mostly by Ada programmers (especially that config syntax and semantics is very similar to that of Ada).

exactly - it is censorship - the issue is in using copyright infringement as a way of censoring things you don't like. Needless to say I don't like this (IMHO companies should be obliged to pay for wrongly accusing something of copyright in

Actually we can change orbit of comets/asteroids if we know few years ahead of time that they will impact with Earth - by bombarding object with few hundreds kilograms of "metal spheres" we cause small change in energy of object, causing it

And what about "one"? Quite archaic but gender neutral :) And there is name "Maria" in Polish which is feminine name but I personally know guys bearing this name so maybe there is woman with name "Steven" - are you sure?

I thought English already had one gender neutral pronoun - "one". One shouldn't reinvent the wheel.

Interestingly enough there is such pronoun in Icelandic - "það".

I love how Polish law deals with this situation - software is algorithms and algorithms are math and math isn't patentable :)

You call that strong typing ? IMHO it is natural that it fails - what did you want as a result? But 1 + 1.0 works in Python - and I just added float to integer (integer was implicitly converted to float (given sufficiently large integer suc

です？ Wikipedia says: "word used to grammatically link a subject and predicate, often translated into English using the verb "to be". And, yes they do use it. But what is strange about it? Do English really use "to be" (in its various conjuga

Phone wiretapping? DO you know what you are even talking about? They are only wiretapped... Come to Poland - to most invigilated country in Europe.

That is main reason why he (Polish PM) has to be very wary now - if he didn't back down from ACTA he wouldn't stand a chance in next elections. And there is still some time before we will have them but if he makes more blunders it will be h

Not exactly - it is just another (and more expensive) source of oil, but inevitably there is still a limit to it (and while prolly there is more shale gas in world than oil I doubt it even triples the time before oil supply will end). Inevi

Poland is quite good, but we have to be wary of our government as it tends to pass laws that we just hate (and they wonder then why tens of thousand ppl are on the streets protesting against those laws [they worry more about being reelected
