Land of the freeeeee, hooooome of the brave. (I'm also beating my chest with my hand and yelling about American Exceptionalism too)

So, no then. "Group video chat" is one of the listed benefits...

>me submitting a YouTube video for a private audience (demonstrating a new feature in a web site I developed for a side client) that got broadcast to all my friends on Google+ was …

Well, in the other corner you have NVIDIA, who still won't (and I'm willing to partially blame Canonical) step up and say for sure that they will support KMS and/or Wayland. Withou…

How much would one pay for an alternative implementation?

Confirmed. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-6emYmxfdYQI/UlSXCljXjTI/A...

This is an interesting time to point out that we're one of two Democratic countries with a debt ceiling. It's never, ever been used as a political chip. http://www.washingtonpost.c…

Hm, maybe if someone made a plugin that would show that even manen were mis-resolving dependencies even when building itself. Like 3 years ago. Hm.

UEFI+SecureBoot can be implemented on ARM devices. And already is in almost every case, it just isn't turned on except for, as an example, most Verizon/ATT variants of phones.

Chrome 13 Beta just landed (hours ago) with PNaCl support on the desktop. I'd assume that it will be in tow shortly for Chrome for Android.

Dan is right. I assumed that was why I was hellbanned and I was clearly behaving poorly in that thread. Fortunately, since they brilliantly combined a hellban with a slowban, I kne…

Yeah, I'm going to need a bitcoin address for Lavar pretty much right now.

Not only that, Google's OpenSesame did the exact same thing and worked for all Google users until they pulled it after it "went public". So then they pulled it, told us something b…

GNOME is shipping Wayland support. KF5 and KDE5 between now and next spring will enable KDE on Wayland. It's great to watch Mir.

There we go, I knew the name was at least public and I was to lazy to login and see what it was called. I'd love to know more about Midori as well.

I really wish someone would link the article that was yammering about the A7 and how it was going to lead to desktop/phone convergence. The HN comments were very insightful and moc…

I switched. Chrome is still significantly faster in Linux though (startup and rendering and general browser responsiveness [switching tabs, etc]) And yes, I test regularly with Aur…

I've never, ever had a BSOD on Windows 7 or greater. I've only witnessed one and it was on an old (physically) dying laptop.

Not necessarily, they could string Keith Alexander up for repeatedly lying to Congress, if they wanted.

The implication that this was Democrat led or is a remotely partisan issue is highly amusing. It's like my cousin who I debated wiretapping with 10 years ago. Now he's an enraged a…

The irony hurts.

Chromecast is really not special, in the least. It just happens to be basic, "Google", and recent. Chromecast: SSDP, DIAL, WebRTC (for tab/screen casting) Bonjour/Airplay: mDNS, DN…

Sure, aside from the smug condescending attitude, complete fabrications, snarky attacks on others and complete ignorance of the state of web work. Yes, let's applaud ignorance. Bli…

Not only are entire paragraphs completely factually inaccurate, this is just fucking stupid: "use that ancient technology called a bookmark." Sure, I'll add yours to the 6000 other…
