Thats not really Netflix's fault though. Google Chrome (not Chromium) is the only browser on Linux that supports the DRM the TV/movie studios forced upon Netflix. With Windows Silverlight works in all browsers so they have access

Always. This is native Netflix without running any unofficial patches to WINE to get it working. Sadly only supports the closed Chrome since that's the only Linux browser that supports the neccesisary DRM. You've been able to get

Because its more aruging about semantics than anything else. At the end of the day, it needs to do this in real time and optimizing would cause a loss of speed for sometimes faster executed code, but since it all counts every time, it would

I think its more of a "lol Facebook" than actual Facebook having a bad reputation. They do have a lot of money to hire talented engineers, it maybe that this solution is poor in the edge case the other post was talking about, but

The biggest advancement that libav brought was forcing the ffmpeg maintainer to get off his ass and actual lead the project. Shit would still be stagnant if libav didn't come around.

IDA Pro is available on Linux, but I think you were looking for a free option. Although the shareware version of IDA Pro works very well under WINE (the shareware version is an old release that is missing some features and is before they ad

wicd is pretty dead. It uses deprecated kernel features that will be removed at some point and with no maintainer for wicd, it will just stop working.

Its not 3% more on million+ earners either. If you make 2m, the second million is taxed 3% more than the first million. Also during times of economic hardships, companies are much less likely to invest (they still will, but be more conserva

Its more an example of using the wrong tool for the job. You don't use a sludge hammer to hammer a nail in. Monte Carlo simulations don't need CSPRNG.

If you've read some of the other posts, this whole file will hopefully be removed sometime in the future. For x86/x86_64 this file isn't of any use. Edit: also reading the wiki, they are fully aware how bad this code is.

The radeon drivers have actually been improving a lot. Their performance is fairly close to using the closed ones now, although, Catalyst does suck on Linux, but at least the open source ones are getting better.

Steam on distros other than Ubuntu (or a distro with similar package versions) sucks ass. I know they're working on the issue, but until then, Steam on Linux is completely useless to me.

In most cases the opponents are mainly opposed because of Lennart, not technical reasons, not freedom of choice, but because of Lennart. Most of them will explain their reason with refences to technical or freedom of choice but once you get

I used to use Gentoo back in the day, then I got a laptop and was like "I won't have time to compile everything!" Then I distro hopped for a few years, never really being happy, I am now happily back on Gentoo.

Its Ubuntu, the Engadget guy interpreted the Dev wrong. Or I should say for most of its history its been Ubuntu based but it is still entirely possible they changed it, but I think its more likely the reporter is wrong.

The thing about templates is kind of silly, AFAIK, they added typename since the use of class didn't really make sense for the reasons he did state. They made an error in other words and corrected it in a latter release of the standard

Well, they claim its because of the individual mandate (you must have health insurance). This idea has been the sole thing the Democrats and Republicans have disagreed on since the late 80s. The Democrats didn't want it, the Republican

The current WR doesn't use the TAS method he describes in the video, it is similar through, but only requires getting hit by 1 rock, not 2. And doesn't require the slingshot. The "TAS-only" trick skips loading the inside
