Actually, in the blog post by the guy who discovered that, he said he was able to read the data - meaning that it was transmitted NOT encrypted (please correct me if I am wrong). Also, I hope that their "industry standard" firewall is bette

Yes, you're right the world is going mobile and in mobile less (no) moving parts is better (more durable etc.) That is also why I think that consumer grade devices will be unlikely (unless read speeds are bumped up, too) But mobile, in our

Same for me, I have an x220 using the 6cell and get around 3h on Windows and about the same on ArchLinux... Broken battery?

In response to your question on availability in commercial HDs, I think that unless a comparable significant advance is made in read speeds, I doubt that you will find it in consumer grade HDDs soon. A disk that can read at e.g. 100mb/s and

Well the article mentions that: "This revolutionary method allows the recording of Terabytes (thousands of Gigabytes) of information per second" Therefore, If you can write 1TB/sec the seek it would pretty much outperform any SSD cluster, i

Hey there, I like the idea, it is a very specific site for a single use. Obviously there are other sites doing the same thing already. I like the clear, up-front approach (design), however I feel that it is too minimalistic. e.g.: where di

It's been announced (was some days ago on engadget), that native C++ support will come with the next update. Not sure when that will be as I did not dig deeper into it, but I assume it's rather soon.

I agree that it is not the best comparison. It is the best I could come up with... The problem might be that I compared out of context - a texture is not very different from a painting (in theory, physical anomalies aside) - I did not inten

Yes I agree with you in regard to Bilzzard. To be more precise, my questions is: You have an OpenGL based game running smoothly on OSX, you decide not to port it to Linux. Why? 1. ROI 2. "Have to" offer support for Linux to maintain brand i

Concerning your first statement, that the curation history is crippled: Obviously, you can get your hands on the artwork of the game if you want to, you just have to pay for it. Same as you have to pay for that picasso if you want to "curat

You can use OpenGL & Qt for that matter. You can write proprietary software if you purchase a Qt license. In fact, programming with Qt is usually write once, compile for: Windows, OSX, Linux, Android. Most of the time, you will not need

While I can understand not porting e.g. a DirectX game to Linux/OSX or any other program which heavily relies on OS specific libraries/features, I could not yet understand why not to port it when it is possible with little effort. I'd reall

While I agree that e.g. the Xenon headlamps or the two USB ports should be standard instead of options, I know some people who would PAY to have to use the keys to lock/unlock their car. I experienced numerous occasions on which I was not a

Yes, Anki used to use a slightly modified version of SM-5 but the Lead-developer decided to revert down to a modified and improved version of SM-2. Basically he reasons (you can find his explanation on the Anki FAQ) that while versions newe

I also heavily use Anki for learning (Japanese). Although you can learn all sorts of things very efficiently with it once you get into the habit of using it. The program is great, it comes with >free< syncing/online backup, provide

I have to agree with you, I generally find those link-bite "everything you blabla is wrong" titles rather offensive. It a) does not say anything about the content of the article, b) actually insults the reader in a blatant way and c) is a

Very nice concept! And by making them very very easy to use & pricing them accordingly high, they don't really compete with arduino+shields and the like. As they are "open", I wonder if it will be possible to only use their webservice w

I have been doing what the author describes for some time now (although I dont get up as early) and I find, that it works well to go to bed at any time on friday & saturday evenings as long as you give yourself enough time to sleep in a
