Do you have a link for that? I would be super excited to see them get back on top of their OpenCL support. They have been a 1.1 for a long while now.

I suppose this would have nothing to do with the current decline in the value of the ruble, now would it?

If you do not have at least two cards here, you do not understand how the domestic credit bureaus work. It is a major factor in determining your credit-worthiness for everything else you do. In countries with higher levels of home ownership

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if there are any consequences to having Belarus have domain over your--well--domain. It is a modern country with a well educated populace, but its government is Europe's last dictatorship. I imag

The one downside to this in terms of this move increasing adoptions is that RHEL 7 will be based on Fedora 19 not Fedora 20 and subsequent releases. If Python 3 managed to be default on RHEL/CentOS and the like, that would have a much

I don't know exactly what the author is referring to, but I know that C is unique in that it will never go away. So long as new hardware primitives come into play, we will always need to return to the level of C to squeeze out performa

Works especially well in asm.js under Firefox. I can't quite get keyboard input to work well under X, but this is really impressive.

Right, there is the tacit assumption that he and his generation have earned it. This read like a cross between a monologue from "The Newsroom" and a very poorly thought out commencement address.

This is not about FOSS, it is about one man's vision to circumvent the mainstream developer community. Ubuntu chose to make the transition from pre-configuring Debian and making compiz themes for Gnome to trying its hand at systems-lev

You are of course assuming Ubuntu can maintain Intel drivers, which given their upstream contribution track record might be a tall order.

Part of me kind of wishes that this had some trivial, totally safe and innocuous consequence that you could still appreciate somehow with a Mr. Wizard type experiment.

Shuttleworth's interview about how they are going to keep the long term future of Ubuntu's phone OS from fragmenting while still allowing complete manufacturer customization was a really disappointing string of non-answers. I am r

The title makes it sound as though this has been accepted into the Linux kernel when in fact it has not been. It is designed to work with the Linux kernel but it is in no way associated with Linux. FUD much?
