So this thing is 192 days old? Seriously? Did the guy go surfing for those 6 months or what? I mean, this thing lacks utterly basic features like the ability to buy your own domain…

Maybe because the price is utterly absurd for something that costs nothing to provide and should be free? Or because you can just run the browser yourself, press print screen or Vi…

Phone/tablet gaming with no external input device sucks for anything except puzzle and strategy games (just try it, it's impossible to move a character with any accuracy). And if y…

$120/month for a server management tool? Is this a joke or what? Maybe the submitter is the author? Obviously any such tool needs not only to be free, but also open source.

Obviously invalid. www.zeromq.org, D-BUS, the Linux kernel AF_UNIX multicast patchset, the Linux kernel AF_DBUS patchsets are prior art among surely hundreds of others. Also fails …

Yeah, they sell the experience of being robbed. First by them with their $300+ markups on shitty hardware, then by every damn app developer asking to pay for their crap, with Apple…

FINALLY! Hopefully those fucking couriers that take DAYS to do what can be done in hours will go all out of business.

This solves a problem nobody cares about. There is no "war": Git has won, Mercurial is irrelevant. Also companies will just standardize on one DVCS, and non-companies won't pay whe…

A 7660?!? For gaming?!?!? For $1000?!?!?!?!? Is this a bad joke or what? You can have a system with two 7950 GPUs for that price. It seems to me these guys are obvious scammers.

Can this be used to buy non-physical goods? (e.g. website hosting) For physical goods, where are they shipped from? Also, I don't really understand the difference between "anonymou…

What REALLY needs to be done is fully automating farming, construction, mining, transport and power plants. Then we can live for free since no work will be required to provide an h…

Well for starters it needs to support many more websites (Facebook, Google/Youtube, Reddit, etc.) and needs to actually do the check automatically. And it must be able to register …

Yeah, let's pick one of the things that computers do much better than humans and make a captcha based on it! It's astounding, I'm not even sure how to offend them, since I don't th…

The article is utter bullshit. EGL can work with OpenGL non-ES just fine (as long as the driver supports that, which Mesa of course does). 2D acceleration can be layered on top of …

Of course, the authors of the driving software of the car at fault need to be the ones liable, since they are the only ones that can prevent the issue. So, Google is liable, if all…

How about introducing "credit cards" implemented as smartcards with an USB plug (and maybe a microUSB one too for smartphones), an LCD display to show the charge amount, payee and …

Hahaha, have these guys ever heard of TESTING ? You know, it's not rocket science to create a program that creates say 10000 connections to the server, does some prerecorded game a…

How? Does it use locking? Does it use something like PostgreSQL's new SSI? Does it write the read timestamps to the database on reads? Something else?

Their arguments against X11 and Wayland seem a bit dubious and vague, and it's also not clear why they are against a modified SurfaceFlinger.

Yes, hopefully. Schools make no sense.

Yeah, but in the example the text is not transformed, it's merely overlaid on a composited surface.

The text in Firefox doesn't lose subpixel antialiasing, at least in my browser. Also, it's perfectly possible to use GPU compositing with subpixel antialiased texture, you just nee…

Taxation is theft. Especially given that surely Microsoft hasn't consumed anything even remotely close to 1 billion in Danish goverment services. Hopefully Microsoft will be able t…

Are you kidding? The issue is that the idiots at Apple failed to create a connector (or at least add a secondary connector for video) with enough bandwidth to even drive a single l…
