Right, the site sucks (I hate Flash ad-sites especially) but that doesn't really have much to do with "SEO" which Verizon clearly does not need any of. What they need is a site that doesn't suck.

Correlation /= causation, which the article didn't really make note of. Does the actual research suggest causation, or merely a link?

Is that really feasible for ISPs? I know you can traffic shape anything, but would they bother? I remember there was a pretty big ruckus when this was first announced, since many of the uT guys were talking about how it would be much harder

I like the way they are spinning this. The new protocol, over UDP, is more difficult for ISPs to throttle without harming everything else on UDP (VoIP, games, streaming video, etc) that people regularly use (AFAIK.) That being said, they re

Does anyone know if you can get a data-only plan? I'm planning on picking one up for dev. Normally I'd just buy an unlocked one and swap a SIM card in for when I needed to use the data/cell features, but obviously I can't do that in this ca

The Developer Channel version of Chrome is updated (while it is running, without a restart) every week or so, from previous Chromium builds. You might not even notice it happen.

Really? It's just Flash video, isn't it? What's to stop me from yanking the data out of memory?

If I flush 50 million dollars down a toilet, can I too have the government enforce broad patents on software practices that are obvious and have existed for years?
705.
by tumult 17y ago
Software patents don't specifically patent software. They patent a machine implementation of an idea. The hardware you speak of needs some kind of control logic anyway. So it's covered either way.

That was a suit to defend their trademark. They just had to stop using the logo. Nokia is suing Apple because they've been beaten at handsets and are losing money, and someone decided this was their best shot at getting back.

No, it's Google's job to help people find things. That's what it does. SEO exists to game Google into placing your site higher in results. I make something, like some small open-source software, put it on GitHub, and it shows up as the firs

There's a history in the US of the government giving large corporations money to do something, but then not attaching any requirements to it. So the corporations, obviously, act in their own best interest. Communication networks that otherw

Google was foolish to release Wave to non-developers this early. Now you have bozos like this guy complaining about the need for features that haven't been implemented just yet, like draft mode (suppresses live keystrokes.) On top of that,

What about things like SMTP? Google probably shuffles around a bunch of email data.

The quote comes from ex-FCC Chair William Kennard, who argued that this kind of capitalism is triggered "when companies invest in lawyers, lobbyists, and politicians, instead of plant, people, and customer service." Good line. I think the

He's talking about RubyCocoa, which is what OS X comes with, not MacRuby. RubyCocoa uses the Objective-C/Cocoa object bridge, to allow Ruby to talk to Cocoa objects and send messages. MacRuby is a different beast. It compiles with LLVM, is

In the case of the Higgs and the collider, it is as if something is going back in time to keep the universe from being hit by a bus. Although just why the Higgs would be a catastrophe is not clear. Media outlets are still doing this? Real

Only SpiderMonkey (Gecko) has that. And it will remain that way for the foreseeable future.

You can run interpreters on iPhone. You just can't allow the user to load code in externally to be interpreted. And you can build binaries with MacRuby anyway.

MacRuby is extremely impressive, even if you aren't much of a Ruby guy (like me.) It lets me do nearly everything I'd want to do in a Cocoa application, but much more easily than with C/Objective-C. It really is fantastic, and a lot of work

Who's voting this up? Did you actually read this drivel? The second solution is dealing with the creation of a singleton, which means creating an object and assigning values (e.g. functions) to its properties. ??? JavaScript is object-ba

My Mac does not do hardware video decoding. I can run 8 (!) 720p h264 videos in QuickTime at the same time with less than half cpu usage. I can't run a single one in Flash at full speed. Flash just sucks terribly, that's all.
