Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me either. Especially since the entire point of the recent changes to iOS is precisely to get everything on-screen handled by the GPU, in the first place ..

Its no less terrifying than the fact that the US gov't can send you off to a top secret location for whatever reason it feels is an appropriate reason, whatsoever, and you will be left there without recourse or access to any Internatio

I'd like to answer the question. The answer to the question is: "because OS vendors have stopped doing their job". Have you not noticed that the OS no longer provides the features of an Operating System? Wouldn't a &qu

I'm curious - as a long-time Ubuntu user who is totally resisting any effort to switch to Unity - how does one 'learn' the menu functions available for a new app with the HUD? I don't know anything about it, but is it p

Well, next time you walk into a stinking hot concrete bunker, say to yourself "I wonder if I know what the word radiation means, hmmm.."

Concrete is radioactive, I'm reminded of this fact when I go into a concrete parkhouse and feel the heat, and I don't particularly care if its hot due to radiation or hot due to heat energy from cars being stored - either way, t

What an amazing bit of work .. I hope to have one of these things when the time is right. The inclusion of the FPGA onboard makes a lot of sense, and would be a real selling point, in my opinion, for a lot of hackers. I can think of an en

I've always thought it was because concrete is slightly radioactive, personally. Rightly or wrongly so, its been yet another reason to avoid the oil-debt and walk, or cycle, to work.

I agree that we could all do with a little less idol worship, but I think that what javajosh pointed out is also very important. We have all been conditioned to use dialectic materialism as a means by which to argue - and THIS is the issu

I hope that in the future states of the Earth, they teach disinformation and doublespeak detection/eradication techniques to the teenagers of the tomorrow. It sure would help to know thats going to happen..

Apple haven't done anything with iOS 7 that I can't do with MOAI. ( http://getmoai.com/ ) By taking this direction, they've given me even more reason to ignore their Native GUI frameworks and continue to focu

Likewise! For me, it was MOAI: http://getmoai.com/ Since I became a Lua programmer, I really can't stand any other languages, and I've rapidly switched to it for my scripting needs. Tables are just soooo lovely

Karma is not a dialectic, as if there is a synthesis/anti-syntheis position from which to posit the workings of Karmic responses. At the essence of anyone who wishes to live a better life, is responsibility. Karma is a cultural mechan

It is a useful response because it allows for the solution to these sorts of things to occur: continued discussion of the need to enlighten oneself, and be aware of the lies of the world as they are told. An apology is not the last step,

Just the fact that the US President can order an extra-judicial killing of any US citizen, if he deems it fit, should be enough to raise your ire, citizen. With such tyranny allowed, justice is no longer possible in US society.

It is not at all shallow, but rather quite representative of the thinking of the period in which it was written, and in that light should definitely be considered a valid endeavour. But, are you not at the very least intrigued by the irony
