In what world is (null) not an invalid code? What color is the sky there?

Who told you that?

Probably not. libstagefright is, nominally, per-GPU. Every GPU vendor would have to roll their own. And then it would have to be tested... It's just not going to happen at all. Everyone is going to say "time to move on" and blame the vendors. The vendors will blame the GPU makers...

Well, no. Not really. They promised an open and hackable platform. But they didn't deliver that. They released a shitty and broken platform. Many units overheat. All original controllers were shit, they had to do a second run. And the "recovery" is shit. It's implemented at the same level as the OS, so if you ruin your OS, your Ouya is really and truly bricked. Nobody has figured out how to get JTAG on it. USB keyboards become controller #1 so nothing works until you unpair them and the keypad (which will have become controller #2) and then re-pair the keypad. Pairing of PS3 controllers was never reliable. Etc etc. Ouya is a turd, they failed miserably, and it's not clear why anyone would bother to pick up the pieces.

Wow, afraid of words? We're back here? Even on Slashdot?

There are obviously a lot of steps between here and there, but that's no reason not to try to take them.

You can't give people everything they want. But you can enable people to create them, and you can stay out of their way.

Because I can't stand living in cities as they are now. When they kick out all the cars, maybe I'll think about moving back. On the other hand, I like having a lot of personal space, and it's a lot cheaper in the sticks. I probably won't ever move back into the cities if I have a choice.

Then it was bullshit

If you're in the game for the long haul then you don't just throw away your reputation. You make the game when it makes sense to make the game. You have some new level of competence to display, usually. That's when HL2 came out.

It's flamebaiting to point out privilege? It's trolling to point out privilege? I can see that the white males are getting all the modpoints today.

FWIW I consider myself to be a "white hispanic" ... HTH you make more knee-jerk reactions, kids

I would consider installing a Slashdot app, but I consider anyone who installs a Facebook app to be acting like they're new. The facebook app has shit upon users repeatedly, and that's basically what facebook exists to do. I would never trust facebook to run an app on my phone.

I disagree with your premise entirely, the browser theme can be responsive to screen size and you can deliver a different theme based on browser strings, so there's no reason whatsoever that you can't take the device into consideration without having to do all the work yourself. But what I actually came to point out is that in practice most of these forums use tapatalk, and that tapatalk is a gigantic festering piece of shit.

You mistyped "GM" there.

Something you know, and something that can be stolen or lost, I think that's how the saying goes, right?

2FA is cool in principle, but I live in the sticks and don't have high-speed internet and I use a prepay plan which charges me daily because it fits my current usage patterns. It would cost me money to use 2FA.

I just had this conversation on a visit with a friend. The worst are the sites that have all the "strong password criteria" and then do something idiotic like limit you to a certain number of characters. Those are mostly going away. The best thing to do would just to be mandate a good minimum length and suggest people make up nonsense phrases, then they would be likely to remember them and they would also be likely to be useful passwords.
