It's a problem because everyone can see the path we're on. You may very well need to jailbreak your pc in a few years just to run something the os vendor doesn't see eye to eye with you on. Or did we forget that we all went sue happy on mic

It seems like a lot of people over think intelligence and success. Properly balanced or even an excess of serotonin and norepinephrine are what primarily ensures survival and procreation, which generally translates into happiness and suffic

I wonder if he understands that a long drawn out complaint about pricing where the author understands all of the component details, yet bought the product anyway and shows all signs of being willing to do so again... completely validates th

their customers are western governments. that's why being an arms dealer is legal, too. start selling to the wrong side and you'll quickly find out how subjective the legal system is.

I think you're all missing a key part of the equation here. It was the OEM who configured the OS, the OEM who selected the panel, and the OEM who advertised the feature that presumably went into my buying decision. If my (windows+skype) loo

What sane organization would sign up to be a "hosting partner" in this situation? Let's see, most of his last venture's major unpaid creditors are hosting providers, previous hosters spent months after the indictments unable to use their se

It seems more baked in this time, with metro automatically engaging two different scaling targets (full hd and 2560x) as well as the baseline ~100dpi. So people will be in hidpi modes without engaging them, and a good number of them since 1

i do mean metro, mostly. aside from engine improvements microsoft has been really beating the drum with 3rd party developers to support high ppi screens out of the gate. booting the retina mbp on windows 8 works surprisingly from the start,

You turn the ui scaling up to 150% in windows 7 or previous and don't experience visual and alignment issues? Or do you mean that you don't find the elements too small when used at default size? There is no argument that the latter works fi

Nope, you've forgotten about the original kindle fire, you know the one thats been on sale for a year and not a month or two. no ad subsidy program there. look, you obviously don't use an android tablet so please stop telling people who do

weird, we have a kindle fire and it doesn't show us any special ads. and i've never noticed flash ads being especially present on the galaxy tab. it sounds to me like you're trying to talk with authority about things you haven't used and do

Now that windows 8 and mountain lion both for the first time credibly handle HiDpi I agree, it's about time we switched. But laptop makers are hardly to be roundly chastised for not going super density until now (though higher than 1386x wa

Why does anybody ddos anything? Pretty much the same reason you carve your name in a tree or drive super slow with the bass up so high it sets off everyone's car alarms.

I can't say for sure how "they" do it, but there are a number of options available. Radio in general is very leaky - even rather low power and directional beams can be detected off axis if they travel enough distance and you have sensitive

be aware that this isn't a great user experience - a number of ubuntu specific features will work poorly or not at all while you're logged in under gnome shell, and several gnome 3 desktop integration features also won't be working. It's mo

anyone can do it, for some values of "anyone" that includes having a good power source, some rf equipment and a few books. mostly the problem involves defending the equipment when people unhappy about said behavior arrive.

This isn't meant to be a retort - I agree that there is a lot of mess in deb-ubu/gnome 3. But if you have the time, try fedora on bare hardware to get an idea of how gnome is supposed to work. You probably won't want to stick with it for a

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I actually like the innovations canonical keeps bringing to unity (although I'm not in love with the amazon searches). My problem with it is execution - run gnome shell on the identical hardware and it
