Except that totally overlooks the fact there are parts of the world where they could implement their own MPEG-2 decoder legally as they do not have software patents. Instead, because of this blob system without documentation they're forced

What part of their educational goals involve publicly antagonizing their users? The behavior of their PR and their forum moderators does not resemble any open academic environment I've ever seen. It does, however, resemble Tumblr.

It's pretty simple. The RPi is an advertising campaign for Broadcom's VideoCore IV processor, which is part of why the RPi is so cheap. Broadcom is uncomfortable with the reality that software is eating hardware, so they've decided to artif

Community resources? The Raspberry Pi has almost zero hardware documentation, a closed black box controlled by a massive binary blob and an absolutely despotic PR disaster named Liz Upton who actively insults and derides developers and othe

This article is pretty sad when you realize that what he's teaching pales in comparison to what search engines in the nineties were offering. Google has actually /stripped away/ advanced search functionality and dumbed down the search engin

I've found using SICP in TexInfo format over at http://www.neilvandyke.org/sicp-texi/ to be quite useful when you throw it into Emacs with a Racket acting as a REPL and a scratch buffer, like so: http://i.imgur.com/J3lI1.png

You don't seem to understand that Android already is first. This is a $100 Android box with an 'app store of its very own!' and not much beyond that. We've already got Android and it's not difficult to make a similar enclosure. We've alread

How about never? The Ouya is a pig-in-a-poke at best. There's nothing compelling about it that you couldn't do with an ARM evaluation board (in fact, it's more limited), the average console gamer opinion regarding it is 'meh' and it will be

There's new players all the time and a lot of mom-n-pop type shops out there that actually can reliably deliver 100Mbps and 1Gbps pipes, though some are certainly shady. I've named the ones I feel comfortable mentioning, but if you really w

Compare their budget servers against other budget servers and they're going to lose out on CPU, RAM and bandwidth tier for the price you pay. Not everyone who is cheaper is offering inferior service, either. While I am sure I could negotiat

The hardware Softlayer is offering looks ancient, Xeons from 2006, only a paltry 5GB/mo bandwidth tier as initial offering -- this page looks stuck in time, like what you could get maybe three~four years ago in dedicated hosting. Even Cari.

This is the real Silicon Valley story here: Bath salts, rectal suppositories, associating with gangsters in Central America... the most compelling read since Hans Reiser dropped his wife like an arbitrary block pointer.

I'm actually startled that this might become the new debate: what strains of marijuana are 'good' and 'bad' and which in the cannabidiol group are 'good' and 'bad'. People actually have serious conditions that are treated specifically by TH

Yes, I can clearly and with good conscious say that it is 100% a-ok to break the lock or take a cracked copy of software you already paid $10,000 for to operate with a $180,000 system if the vendor is going to gouge you over a trivial issue

How about when you pay USD$10,000 for a niche software package with a crappy USB hardware dongle with drivers that only work on Windows XP, despite the application itself working just fine under Windows 7 64-bit? When I asked the vendor, I
