They say they are happy to have the commentary, but their policy states that you cannot use ubuntu in a domain name or the ubuntu logo without permission. This applies to everyone.

That's probably true for Playstation, but I think developing for Xbox was already pretty much like developing for Windows, even with different hardware architectures. Most game devs don't looking too deeply at the hardware but jus

What does processor architecture even matter to a consumer? Is the Xbox 360 a pre-Intel Mac because it uses PowerPC archictecture? I don't see why so many people mention this. Consoles have always been about custom software, not unique

Federalism has many meanings, but the basic concept is an association of equals or near-equals who make decisions by established protocols. While the US Federal Government was established in a time when communication could take weeks, by th

This is the core concept of organizing the world's information. If you think otherwise, you don't realize that the majority of the world's information is held by individuals for brief periods of time and specific to its appli

Not saying it isn't true, but it reads like a giant humblebrag. "Everyone is awesome" is the number one complaint.

Looks like it was fixed on 10/28, which is definitely a long turnaround since it was first posted 10 months ago. I suppose it took so long because it was a pretty specific situation (removing a notification while inserting one while hi

I have used openSUSE on my desktop before, and I am running it in a VM again. 13.1 looks great. I love how they cater their GUI to power users and include quick access to things like virtualization. They also include FreeType 2.5, which I o

SUSE has done a great job maintaining its projects, and I especially like how they focus on building things that are useful to anyone rather than just themselves. With the recent troubles between Ubuntu and KDE, I wonder if Kubuntu will be

by ewzimm 13y ago
I would like to make a small connection. Novell bought SUSE in 2003 when they were losing business. They continued lose business while SUSE grew, so they tried to squeeze maximum profits out of SUSE by laying off a lot of their staff and ma

KDE 4.0 was released almost 6 years ago, and I wish people would get over it. 4.11 is not the same software. It's very fast and stable, and if you develop for it, you can count on long-term compatibility. It's GNOME and Unity tha

Unfortunately this kind of thinking dominates American politics. We can't even consider why our opponents do what they do. But many people in tech have indulged in accessing secured computers. It's easy to see how somebody on one

Fads are good. Being able to run everywhere is also good, but frameworks eventually need to give way to new ideas. Not everyone wants to program in COBOL on .NET forever.

Well if you don't desire equality for all under the law, if you prefer special privileges based on gender or another arbitrary aspect, then you certainly aren't a feminist. I won't argue that point, but I hope you understand

If you believe that modern western cultures are not gender biased and this state of affairs is worth preserving, then you are a feminist! You can't deny it because you have just advocated for gender equality. Feminism advocates for aut

Most traditional cultures have in place laws meant for social control but rarely have centralized mechanisms for economic control. As political opinions drift, it's common for part of the population to stick to what they perceive as tr

I feel the same way about Windows. Endless issues with printers and drivers especially. But somehow it has managed to hold on to market share with fractured hardware support. If hardware vendors had better Linux support, there would be no p

I am interested in which parts of that metaphor you think were overly simplistic or ill-conceived. I thought it was pretty right-on as far as how people treat the system.

Coca-cola as done a lot to destroy its value, yet it continues to be one of the world's most valuable brands. Humanity has established a pattern of irrationally flocking to proven flawed systems and insisting on their perfection.
