Seems pretty bad for ULA, which is Boeing and Lockheed Martin, but they claim they have enough rocket boosters to fulfill the next two years of their launch commitments. They have …

She was right and wrong. The hardware was definitely better (and they beat the Kindle to market with major features, like touch screens and LED front-lighting, and they even kept h…

Awesome! Thanks for the link :)

Would be really nice if the demo was in a normal web page instead of a video. (Also, I'd love to know what vim(?) extension provides the interactive completion with the function si…

Default register initialization values and functions to encode/decode and transmit/receive packets of data do not equal an operating system in my book. Maybe you draw the line at a…

Not to mention that (at least compared to the previous release of HighCharts) D3's performance is just so much better. Graphing tens of thousands of data points causes my browser t…

I wonder what kinds of safeguards they have in place to prevent people with the same name from claiming each other's things.

> Half of the then-absurd snide "promises" he listed as others making have pretty much come true: HDTV pixel counts on a pocket device, LTE data rate 10x faster than T1, etc. Shame…

That's true, but also irrelevant. GNOME Shell isn't an app, it's part of the infrastructure. Rhythmbox? C. Evolution? C. (Geary? Vala.) Shotwell? Vala. LibreOffice? C++. gnome-term…
