Did you know your name is an Aptronym? Especially for this post.

It would be hugely amusing if one of these projects announced (even in jest) that they were would continue to issue patches for XP after EOL.

We are sending maven to mars? Thank goodness for small mercies.

An engineer at NASA told me it's not really that great at producing something called binaries for CI, assembly:single notwithstanding. No idea what he meant, but he seemed to know what he's talking about.

I imagine the mission will come off without a hitch as long as our network connection to it remains up at all times to receive all the useful verbose reporting it gives us.

That's proof he is lying. Even the developer's of netbeans don't use netbeans.

Hey all,

You can all download the latest builds here: https://01.org/android-ia/downloads.
Hope everyone likes it!

Fedora seems to have lost it's way with this release.

The installer wasn't great but alot of other changes changes are in the release that are really poorly thought out.
There is stuff changed that I just can't work out why on earth they would change it.

I would really like to see someone smush android-x86.org on top of a fedora like distribution and go from there.
For intel not to do this is imho basically insane. They are in big big trouble, I guess they haven't realised how big yet.

A fully compliant JVM written in Js. Doppio is the most advanced one that I know of. http://int3.github.com/doppio/

Once complete, it will become instantly redundant, because the non ms browser vendors will put jvms back in the browser to speed things up.
And that's a good thing! This whole js only thing for the web is dumb. At some point in the future, it could be 0 years, 20 years, this will come about and we (you) will all slap our foreheads and go...OMG, we could have been writing our web apps in language (insert favourite here) X this whole time? What were we thinking.

JS is being compiled and minified and closured away. JVM is open, it's bytecode. It can run anywhere. Let's let go of this fiction that its somehow good or more open to have a single client side web language.

This reminds me of catholic high school when I quoted Einstein for an assignment in my religion (indoctrination) class as a way of proving that god DID exist. To make my (nonunderstanding) teacher look foolish in front of the rest of the class. Good times.

As parent said, this is a terrible outcome.

Moving on constructively, I would suggest fedora should just be a minimal package set and a system for managing VMs. A good way to partition each VM would be for example, each system that manages it's own packages (eg. ruby, perl, firefox). Because of the rise of multi core computing this would have no performance impact at all. The advantages of a system like this include easier system management, better security, and convenience. There will be better upgrade-ability because although fedora has no rolling releases (a shame), users will be able to create specialized appliances that they can copy over to the new version of fedora without hassle and upgrade them at their leisure. It is way easier to deal with variable-sized VM images then partitions.

Obvious benefit. Where do I buy opencompute servers from? Does anyone sell them yet? I'm outfitting a dc server cabinet in the near future.

Use drobo if you are time poor and money rich, use btrfs if you are time rich and money poor.

Btrfs's capabilities are nothing short of amazing. Here is a vid about it:

Maybe Google could partner with Microsoft to get those people onto the free Android system?

U.S. is still one of the best places for free speech.
The criteria for any expansion of governance in an international context should be directly linked to a country's free speech laws. So theoretically countries like Estonia and Norway deserve some power, but in reality, the only people who care about internet governance are those who want to suppress free speech.

In Australia. We have a pretty high standard of living here. The reason I would like to move to the U.S. is because I'm an entrepreneur and it's nearly impossible to hire people here for speculative projects. I've did it twice before and anyone decent is 150K+. In a seed funded company that is a huge amount. Also VC exists but they are like the Merchant of Venice here. Also there are a ton of other reasons why even with U.S. litigation madness, the U.S. is still a better place to start companies. Entrepreneurs in SF have it better than anyone else on the planet. U.S. (average) salaries actually look quite low to me. I understand where you are coming from though with the rest of it. Maybe you should move here, it's pretty civilized. #grassisgreener I guess.
