The acceleration is now accessible by the client program as it draws into it's own frame buffer. On modern systems the client program can use the GPU as a resource to compute it's own results.
Wayland mostly is providing a way of telling a central service how to combine the client's frame buffer with all the other clients into the image put on the screen.
I believe it is perfectly legal to make legislation that alters what powers a government department has.
There are other reasons this is horse shit but that is not one of them.
Again I am thoroughly confused. You suggest obvious and quite logical and good ideas such as "volume caps" and then act like they are evil without any explanation, just an apparent deep belief on your part that they are somehow obviously "bad".
And exactly why is "metered access" bad? You talked a lot about it but nowhere explained why it is bad, you just seemed to have made an assumption that everybody will think it is bad.
It is pretty obvious from other sales of bandwidth that the actual solution will be a fixed price for up to a threshold which exceeds what most people use, and metering after that. I think that would be an excellent way to charge for internet access.
It would also put some pressure on bloated web sites and ads if people realized they may actually be paying more to download it all.
Town name?
What about the conduit monopoly?
Oh, let's fix that by allowing more than one conduit, maybe by making a much bigger conduit to carry them.
Uh oh, what about the "bigger conduit" monopoly?
Can you read? The original post says "or the time window for them to do so expires". There is a drop dead date.
You don't have to hide the extensions in order to make the GUI not change them. Just prevent the user from editing that part of the filename.
You are describing some sort of standard for magic cookies. This could easily be merged with the existing use of magic cookies.
There is however somewhat of a standard now: the first 4 bytes are a 4-letter code for the file type. Lots of image formats, in particular, use this.
Unix-like has stupid warts too, try creating a file named "-r" in a directory full of important sub-folders then delete it.
% rm -- -r
Assuming you want Windows (and not Apple or Linux or BSD or any of a bunch of other suggestions people will make)
From previous statements it sounds like buying the much more expensive "business model" will get this. You may have to do a bulk purchase of dozens of them.
Another suggestion was to buy a system at a Microsoft store. They do have an interest in making Windows not suck.
To be fair, I don't think the trial Office does anything unless you actually open it (or open a
Nobody does that any more.
In addition the ability of a consumer to install from that disc is about equal to their ability to install Linux. It is not going to happen.
Because they want a reliable way to return to the previous page. If you use the new tab a lot there will be a huge number of history items you would have to back up over to go back to the original page.
I prefer opening the new tab in back, however. I probably want to keep reading the page I clicked.
I seem to remember earlier Android browser having two items on the pop-up, one for a foreground tab and another for a background tab. Either my memory is faulty or this was removed a few years ago.
Yes it is extremely common, because using two of them on each side of the tongue can look like a tongue piercing.
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
