Probably not much. If ubuntu didn't exist, most of those installations would just be some other free distribution.

You couldn't control everything the chromecast can do with simple controls, such as selecting which content to play. That said you could pause, rewind, fast forward, and unpause, I suppose. But you'd still need some other device t

How could they know prior to fetching the image? Sure, after fetching they could determine it but that is too late for privacy.

Of course it is terrible for the unions. It exposes the true cost of pensions which will weaken their position in future negotiations. It is in the union's best interest to hide the cost of the pensions for as long as possible, with th

I think it is reasonably clear that anyone advocating privatizing mail is going to have to address the issue of the cost of delivery, either by some kind of subsidization by the government (not necessarily federal.. for example it could be

I don't see how this is relevant.

Google also has to scan your email to index it, for searching. And as far as privacy is concerned, that is the biggest danger, the NSA (or whoever) being able to ask google for all email with a certain keyword in it. To summarize, they scan

If I recall correctly, more generally O(A*f(n)+B) = O(f(n)) where A and B are constant.

A hidden ID created randomly by the app on first launch, as suggested, seems to be sufficient for this case.

I'd like to hear some advice from another leader of an open source project of similar magnitude and diversity of contributors. It occurs to me, there is no such other person. Maybe, the way Linus sets standards and decides who to comm

I believe one of those specific circumstances includes iOS's Mail.app when used with Yahoo mail. Why not with gmail?

I suspect IMAP IDLE is essentially identical to iOS push notifications. You connect, get a list of messages since the last time you were disconnected, then switch to an idle state where new notifications come in real time. If the tcp sessi

Reddit has information that can be used to identify the author of a submission or comment. I was a disappointed to hear the soft stance on protecting reddit user data.

What happens when the automation of the robot servicing fails? Do you have servicing of the servicing of the robots? Seems like a massive clusterfudge if you ask me. The same thing that happens if we were talking about humans instead of r

Should we stop sweeping streets or picking up trash too? Might as well shut down the sewer system, who needs it.

It's not so much the metric used, though GB transferred is pretty disconnected from actual costs, you can do some hand waiving and say it is generally related most of the time. It is the price per gig that is typically charged that is the r

Let's cut to the chase, what if, as in this case, granting an individual their full rights could deprive others of their rights, like the right to not be blown up by another bomb? You are suggesting that rights only have value if there are

You can do that with the current facebook android app, in theory. I haven't tried it, but it claims to be able to do it.

What you've done is define your own number system, I do not believe you are representing what "base 1" might be. If a base means, you can write numbers of this form: abc Where the value is: a B^2 + b B^1 + c B^0 and you can only have B symb

Are you suggesting that this is what people should do, which might be a nice sentiment, but not particularly relevant to the issue at hand. Or are you suggesting this is what people actually do, to the point of upvoting a comment past all o

Windows 8 will have to deal with that downward price pressure as well. Except perhaps for business, which I suspect will be Dell's target.

Hasn't dell built a rather large company on packing other people's chips with other people's content? Not sure what android changes. I guess they would lose margin on the windows license, but that's about it.

Unwavering means not constantly changing the weight you give to specific pros and cons which ultimately results in changing your mind about the main issue in question. It is the opposite of indecisive. You are confusing unwavering with stu
