it doesn't make an ounce of difference to the geeks.

harvard is business corporation effectively now and has something like 30 billion in the bank already, but you see them using that money to lower their tuition fees? fuck no.

binary blob just means they're licensing the shit now because they can't make it work otherwise and the licensing deals forbid open sourcing it so other gpu companies can't look at it and steal stuff from it or RATHER the other gpu companies can't so easily look and see what's used that's under patent by them.

what you mean with 3d features that require immense power?

opengl support and a gpu like any 100 bucks phone on the market now?

well it's legal for americans to hack china so why not the other way? hypocrites much?

facebook, gmail etc in most western countries aren't actually allowed to spy on your mail.

how spam filters fit into that.. well.. i guess they argue that you're running them and not them.

..and continue climbing or build a ladder to see higher.

the problem with theological truths is that they can be anything anyone in a closed room came up with. they pretend there's rules or inner truths, but really it's all worth the same.

that's quite funny in an article about a stress injury requiring surgery happening to a player of the sport.

you have subjective feeling evidence of god

that's not empirical evidence.

if that was empirical evidence, the cold fusion experiment would have been empirically proven

and then you'll be wondering why it's not playing the games it was supposed to and then you notice it doesn't have the gpu you thought it had.

intel gpu's have always been two years+ old performance and they've been saying it'll be comparable to low end amd/nvidia gpu's "next year" for about 15 years. that's not a joke. the same fucking marketing promises were made about the 950 etc..

the gist is the java support classes, like String etc, that they used. like, they're used exactly like oracles String class and more importantly named as such as well. if that's copyrightable or not... like if you make an api that uses com.phantomfive.java.superApi can someone else make an implementation of that api and use your naming?

sure they are.

if jar jar doesn't keep you away, if abrams doesn't, then nothing will.

but well. I'm not american so I don't really care.

the gist is though that isn't this incredibly risky for Disney? the government could cut down on the numbers of h1b's any year and then they would be boned.

and the existence of companies like this should surely work toward doing limiting of h1b visas or at least who it is applicable to.

though I suspect the point is that now the entire department IS dependent on h1b visa workers, so they can say that if they don't get them then they're boned.

possibly the best selling microsoft device from last year was running android.

the nokia X series.

microsoft axed it. of course.

microsoft(or nokia) had these featurephones in the pipeline already and they're profitable.

wouldn't matter. there would already be 1000's of downloads of the infected code getting deployed.

you see, these companies use git as distribution method for their sdks.

that same reason is why a commercial company like spotify or whoever would have stuff on github.

I'll bet you 100 bucks that the old minesweeper will _run_ on windows 10.

so why are they replacing it? they are replacing it to "guide" you to using the new Microsoft Minesweeper available from their app store. nothing more to it. they just want to "guide" people to making ms accounts and downloading stuff off their appstore. you know the same appstore that was the entire reason for windows 8. still pulling the same fucking trick ms.. same trick..

I just thought that the disable advertising doesn't work on the mobile site(i got adblock on desktop).

I'd like to think that the slashdot folks would have noticed the malware ads if they appeared in europe.
