On X11 I actually have a bunch of patches so I wrote for Qt so I could do painting in another thread. It was useful for a project where I was injecting QtWebKit into a game where the main thread was the game and the Qt event loop and all i

So here is the big question: Are you going to buy less apps because of this "issue"? If not then there is no incentive to really fix it, nor for developers is it a problem that will be addressed.

Actually if you take away the WiFi you have a hotel I no longer go to. The last few years I have traveled to the same places (mostly toronto area) enough that if I find a hotel with no wifi or a real bad connection I simply never go there

True, but on the other hand how many times have you been asked to do a task, but upon further investigation the answer they needed could be provided easier with a better question? So maybe they asked for a count, but they really just wante

QNX was open sourced, the day RIM bought it they close sourced it again. Edit: correction, the licensing was only changed, but the source is still accessible. QNX source Access policy faq: http://community.qnx.com/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/proj

The technology behind a game is nearly always the primary selling point. There are too many games so users need some way to differentiate them. Seeing that game X uses tech Y means that people will talk about it and play it just to see

Don't they dictate what hardware their tablet OS supports? Don't they control the demo hardware?

Hmmm, well for some things 64 hours isn't as bad as I first thought... This could be sped up and hopefully is highly paralyzable so with some more research you could have something while slower the resolution quality would be so much bette

Yup I saw it a each "blog entry" being its own repository with its own history of corrections, updates etc. There was multiple master branches that groups blog entries such as "public" or with other tags. The real fun came because you c

While not the original reason I bought it I put an alarming number of conference papers on it to read. It isn't the best, but definitely surpassed the good enough test for me.

Yah the first level you encounter them should be tweaked so you are less likely to die. The first time you encounter a new bad guy you should be scared, but not in danger. It makes it more fun.

You can even have repositories that only have root commits. I have a git hack that stores blog entries in a git repository. Each entry is a root commit with one branch that points to all of the root commits. A fun crazy hack.

I would understand if Battlefield3 used up a lot of space, but when apps similar to the complexity of bejeweled are using hundreds of MB clearly the developer is just being lazy. Most apps/games on my ipad seem to be around 20MB so when th

That is a bit sad. In most every case applications can easily shrink in size. On my ipad the other day I noticed I had several games (little more than flash junk, not massive 3d assets) that were 300+MB in size with one at 600MB. When yo
