"ICS would probably run like a dog on the hardware," There is already an ICS ROM for the Kindle Fire. It's pre-release -has touch, wifi, sound but no gpu acceleration yet- so it's probably not a good indicator of performance. You can find

I completely agree. I have documents I wrote in the late 1990s I can no longer open easily. As an example of how quickly technology can change this is a perfect example of digital obsolence (storage medium, not software): https://secure.wi

That's not really a correct comparison. The criteria for legal abortions were not introduced to the constitution after the X case. You're thinking of the eighth amendment, a decade earlier. The thirteenth and fourteenth amendments which res

"Similarly Ireland has recently reinstituted blasphemy laws" That is not true. Blasphemy has always been a crime since the formation of our country. It's in our constitution, which is embarrassingly old-fashioned and the new government ha

Unique internet IDs are far from a conspiracy theory. They're being actively developed in China and South Korea to name a few. While the South Korean one has faced setbacks it's only a matter of time before they become common place in other

The phrase "god particle" really has to go away. Do we call hydrogen the "god atom"? What nonsense.

Except, as we've seen with wiretapping and so many other data breaches, if it's 'just there' and can easily be indexed and searched with the click of a mouse, then it will be. Searching someones house requires proper channels to be followed

Client side encryption doesn't seem to fit with the ChromeOS concept. All your information is in your Google account, all your documents on Google Docs and none of it is encrypted as far as I know (Open to Correction). An engineer at Google

Perhaps I phrased it wrong. People in the army were apparently issued with their ballot papers already filled in. This is clearly a case of "under duress from their superiors" to vote for a particular party. I can't a Russian soldier asking

Privacy is now opt-in. Before now it was a case of information being too inaccessible, too fragmented and meaningless. Facebook, automatic facial recognition, tagging and all that has changed that. Now you have to political ask someone not

Yes. It's extremely annoying and can be very expensive. Correct maps are needed for applications in planning, agriculture etc and aren't free.

I wasn't questioning their creditionals. The fact they supply a comprehensive report and make the data behind it available puts them leagues ahead of most. As you say it's just good to know where studies come from.

rkhunter and chrootkit are two free malware scanners (also in ubuntu repos). There's also Avast for Linux. Avira have a free scanner (no GUI though) etc. If you actually look there are plenty of antivirus and antimalware tools.

A few issues. Typing "ire" lists Ireland last with 2 entries not even starting with "ire" above it. That's kind of annoying. More importantly "Ireland" refers to the island, as opposed to the country which is the Republic of Ireland.

"most of Google's non-search products have lacked great design" What about GMail? One of the reasons it was so successful, apart from the storage capacity, was the simple and elegant design, at least in my opinion.

Nope. This is Optimus: http://www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.html . Nvidia have said they have no plans to support it under Linux officially which really sucks. I ended up returning a laptop because of it.
