I didn't know that they had finally gotten an OSX native (meaning not requiring X11) version out. Now I will try Darktable on OSX.

All assets are bundled into the executable and the measured size is the size of that executable. If you download the 14k .zip file available on that web page, inside you will find a 128 byte .com file. In this case, there is no sound and th

If it was strictly the BOM they were cutting, I don't think it would have had two keypads.

To further clarify, the Parallella is a complete computer consisting of a 2 core ARM chip and a separate 16 or 64 core Epiphany processor.

I'm on a 1920x1200 display running chrome full screen, and it says "Whoops! Right now this demo doesn't handle resizing or browsers less than 1000px wide. Reload this page or get on a laptop!" I don't think this cou

When PCI replaced ISA (which was prior to USB taking off), dealing with IRQs and DMAs was a thing of the past, making that a poor reason to say USB is superior.

I don't think that using a Raspberry Pi as a poor mans Transputer will be very satisfactory. The INMOS T800-20 was 20mhz and did 10 MIPS. However, it had four links, each doing 20Mb/s, so it can communicate at about the same spee

The Mir change wasn't made in 14.04, so if you update from 12.04 to 14.04, you will be using unity, X11, and Upstart, much as you are now. If you don't specifically want software that is available on 14.04 but not 12.04, and you a

Since Chrome uses the 3D accelerator to render normal pages, without Nvidia's "hobble" the 2nd GPU would be active all the time, which would be poor for battery life. It would be nice if it could be configured to do just that

BTW, Solaris 11 and OpenIndiana support Linux Branded zones. These have a linux user land and are mostly syscall compatible with Linux, so many linux programs can be run on them as is. I suspect that SmartOS took that out, but OmniOS (the

Plenty of people run Debian and Gentoo in chroots on top of other linux variants. That is done on Android devices by people who want a more familiar userland to work in and it is done by people for testing and development across distros.

With SmartOS, you get the netbsd userland and package system rather than the Solaris one. For the most part, this means it is more likely to just have what you want and be easier to build for.

For that matter, if the drunk guy was a sleeping passenger in a car with a sober driver and there is an accident it is also "drinking-related".

I went to look for "Project Oberon" to buy, but 170USD for a used copy is a bit much for me.

Good questions. Booting from Linux ZFS is a bit more of an advanced project. Here is the guide for Ubuntu: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs/wiki/HOWTO-install-Ubu... The ZFS packages are not fully pre-

Installing ZFS on Linux is quite simple. sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-headers-generic build-essential sudo apt-add-repository ppa:zfs-native/stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ubuntu-zfs The goal of

OpenZFS is a fork from before Oracle took ZFS closed again. It still has the CDDL license. OpenZFS is directly used by the people who maintain ZFS on various platforms (such as ZFS on Linux). The end ZFS implementation can be used many pl

ZFS on Linux is OpenZFS ported to Linux. As various OpenZFS users (FreeBSD, Nexenta, etc) add features to OpenZFS the code will be merged upstream then adopted downstream by the other OpenZFS users (including ZFS on Linux).

Since Chromium doesn't support flash (that is one of the closed source bits added to Chrome), I suspect that while QTWebKit had fun with flash integration, Qt WebEngine will probably make Flash integration impossible. The worst part (a

I will second that. I will also say that it was incredibly easy to setup on both Ubuntu and Solaris.

No, it certainly wouldn't be worth posting in either place, but a link would be cool, even if it was to a mailing list archive where it was previously placed.

While I have great respect for Arduino, if you are looking to do something with networking, go buy a BeagleBone Black (or other cheap ARM linux board).

But this way I don't have to keep paying $20/mo to Adobe CC so that I can run the script again next month.

Amazon Instant on some Google TV devices is the real Amazon Instant app. However, the devices supported by Amazon Instant are all ones that offered DRM.
