This is usual in the .Net culture. People use "Not Invented Here" rather than leverage existing stuff because it makes them look all clever plus Microsoft give people no guidance at all that is worthless. In both the…
Wow let's all break the FHS and POSIX for the sake of it.
Switch to CentOS and get extra long support for both desktop and server!
Shouldn't that really be 0%? Oh sorry, walled garden.
He designs stuff that looks pretty, but you can't open it to isolate power or replace the battery easily. It's dangerous. Having watched my MacBook Pro go up in flames and nearly take my house with it, I have first hand…
All hail our new NATO sponsored, oil grabbing, media-spun murder (or victory as they like to call it). Who's going to be the next Emmanuel Goldstein now Saddam, Bin Laden and Gaddafi are dead.
Thanks for that - looks top notch. Will try that out tonight.
I feel sorry for his family.
I had one of them (well a master with a 6512 coprocessor). People still to this day do not believe I had a dual processor BBC Master.
Ironically, it only works with a Mac. Something I don't have.
Yes it does. I download ALL my google docs contents weekly in a zip file using their export tool. I regularly shift documents between word, excel, google docs and openoffice all the time with few if any problems.
I had a mini-rant about this the other day, except Smartphone vs normal phone. https://plus.google.com/112673498012307585136/#1126734980123... Converting to USD, my yearly mobile comms bill is around $400 and that…
You hit the nail on the head. I can't bring myself to get rid of my circa 2008 Nokia 6303 phone and my circa 1995 TI92 calculator. They just work, even though they are both "not state of the art". With respect to the…
That genuinely probably is true and is not a cherry picked statistic. I reckon it's due to the highway drifters, who are reckless idiots. They are probably using their blackberries to organise drifting events which…
"I never wanted to work on an offensive weapon system, something that would kill people," he said. When you work in the defence industry, you don't get to pick if your creations kill people. They inevitably do.
Well that's a load of arse. The Lenovo X201 sucks - it crashes all over the place on Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit and it's certified! http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201102-7305
I don't get it - I've had the same screwdrivers since I was 15. Why would you just throw a lot of knowledge and a perfectly good tool out? If you know what you are doing, C is perfectly safe. If you don't know what you…
I don't think they are actively anti-Java - they are a more a "speak not of Java" company.
Correction: one visionary, one businessman.
And the customers will have to pay for that.
Children are overstimulated these days. They expect activities to be provided rather than creating their own. That's why they are anxious and depressed. They are afraid of boredom. Letting your kids be bored is a very…
I don't get it. The Acer TimelineX series are just over half the price, better spec and nearly as small. 1/4" isn't worth saving for twice the price.
Does anyone really need this for a desktop machine other than to wave their dick? I think IO is much more of an issue these days and most heavy compute tasks are probably better done on a graphics card. I'm sitting here…
That just hit the nail on the head. Great post.
They do until someone waves some bills in front of their faces. That's the problem with "business" and "capitalism". (I'm probably a socialist hippy for reference)
