The Metro stuff doesn't run on EEE netbooks (at least the older ones) due to not meeting the minimum resolution. Trying to run it on my 10" netbook still brought up the Metro start screen, but trying to open any of the apps did nothing.
You can certainly point a domain name at a dynamic IP. Just use a DNS provider (like ZoneEdit) that provides a way to update A records using a dynamic DNS client and set your TTL low.
You still run into issues for the duration of the TTL after your IP changes, but how often does that actually happen now? It's not uncommon for me to be connected for 1 month or more at a time.
Being against the policies of Israel's government doesn't make people anti-Semitic.
Or are you referring to something more?
They already screw up Android enough as well.
Semi-related comment from the kernel source of my phone:
out how to properly use the SPI driver in the system. Please resist the temptation of ever using
this code in a good Samsung phone. I will remove this code as soon as I figure out the correct
way of using the SPI driver*/
(That code actually works correctly though, unlike some of the other stuff)
It remains to be proven that eBooks will last longer.
If your eReader breaks and the seller has gone out of business or just decided to not let you download the books anymore, you loose the books completely.
The Structured Exception Handling is Microsoft's fault; they have a patent on it (at least for 32-bit) so it can't be implemented in GCC.
Obviously Microsoft has an unfair advantage on the API front as well, since I'm assuming the APIs were written and test primarily with Microsoft's compilers in mind.
I'm guessing they'd have the ability to look at each others' source code as well?
You won't be able to run any non-Metro apps not written by Microsoft.
Apparently they won't even let you run command line
Isn't AIR based on Flash? Apparently they're still going to develop it for now, but I wouldn't trust that it will be around long-term.
Am I able to take the SIM card out of my Verizon LTE phone and stick it in one of these tablets to get data using the same plan I have for my phone? Without paying extra, that is.
Or do they have something to block this?
It's very unlikely that the legitimate files would be EXACTLY the same as the pirated files, especially with music files.
If you really need to mitigate this problem, give the rights holders the option to take down a file and all links or just one particular link.
"Easily updated to CyanogenMod", eh?
So do you want to port it to all of the Samsung phones that don't have it now?
I get 3% interest on my checking account for doing a few things, mainly using my debit card enough. Much higher than I can get in a savings account.
The maximum balance you can earn interest on is $15k though.
Pretty much the only phones you can download from Google's repos and build for are the Nexus phones. Anything else and there's no guarantee you'll ever be able to rebuild from source.
Even then, all officially supported devices require binary blobs to run.
Guess we better all switch to Ada...
Are you talking about an existing "Android Perl" app that requires root permissions? Do you have a link?
I don't see why you'd need root access. You can download one of the terminal emulator apps and run anything within the context of the app.
You may need to figure out how to get it compiled, though.
