Yeah, that's right according to the Supreme Court, corporations now have citizenship, so they should have First Amendment rights too. Wouldn't that be ironic if that ruling actually did some good for our nation.

For you I2P users, What are you using for P2P software, I2PSnark, iMule, or I2Phex? I tried it a few years ago, but didn't have much success in finding anything. Any tips for setting up, searching, performance tweaks?

I'm stuck on a bus to BKK with only an iPhone, so I can't watch high-res or zoom. Thanks for answering my Q. Great animation.

What 3D design/animation package was that done in? It's too blurry for me to tell. Looks a little like Blender but I haven't played with it in years now.

Having dedicated hardware for sound mixing is always a good idea. This is especially noticeable when the CPU is under heavy load like when games are running. Take a look on Windows: Windows XP: hardware mixing Windows 7: change to software

Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan needs to go back to America, Europe or whatever first world nation she came from. I've traveled the world and as 3rd world nations go, India is one of the safest for women. By contrast, Cambodia and Africa make Indi

Throughout its history, HTML has always been a disaster when it comes to cross browser interoperability. Apps have always been desinged for the vogue browser, which has changed from Netscape to IE to webkit now. The more you abstract, the m

Anyone who has read up on Adria Richards' past, knows she's an attentions starved cry-baby. Can we please stop feeding her ego, and stop upvoting these posts about her. She failed miserably at her job of developer relations and has no more

WRONG on both counts. Firefox OS only allows apps to run under its javascript VM engine. Under no way shape or form can you compare the performance of a native app to those running under a javascript VM. Since Firefox OS limits you to runni

Brilliant! How do you guys always manage to find the relevant ones? There's hundreds of them, and I tried a few google searches using site:xkcd.com and some related terms and couldn't pull up this one.

WRONG. You can run any browser you want on Darwin. iOS uses the Darwin kernel, but you CANNOT run any browser engine under iOS.

>"If you want another browser, you just have to write it up in HTML + JS" So basically, with Firefox OS, you're limited to using the Mozilla browser. Sounds like Firefox is trying to lock you into their standards, exactly what they're a

Agreed. On my 2GB netbook, Chrome was one of the first apps I installed. At the time, it was a lean and lightweight browser. But recently Chrome's memory bloat has gotten so bad, I had to switch to Firefox. One killer is the GPU process oft

On my 2GB netbook, chrome has gone from my preferred browser to unusable due to the high memory footprint of recent builds. One killer is the GPU process often taking 200+MB. Before giving up, and switching to FF, I tried the --disable-gpu

"not open-source in the sense of being a community project." Android is no less a community project than FF OS. And it does have a great community of outside developers around it, XDA. Check out the forums. If you want to contribute back, G

Mozilla has lost their way with Firefox, and are becoming like MS. They have a slow, bloated browser that runs terribly on Android. Instead of trying to make the best browser for the platform, they created FF OS, locking the user into their
