graduations, weddings, funerals, job interviews where you don't want to scare HR with your forest of chest hair.

Kunstmann from Valdivia, Chile do a tasty blueberry beer.

Well in the case of the govt. of Australia, where this cynical newspaper article originated, it's a massive PR exercise.

"See, our defence force do good, noble, things in their spare time", when they're not implementing the government's polarising 'stop the boats' agenda.

Do they have a clue if and where the plane sank? Hardly...

Sounds like a very slow way to charge your sportscar when all you have is a Cat5 cable. :)

I'd be more concerned about lax security allowing travel using stolen passports.

e.g. the two Iranian passengers on the missing Malaysian aircraft, travelling on euro passports stolen a year earlier.

It'd be nice if MS would officially support loading standard win32 applications, compiled for ARM, without jailbreaking though.

Now obviously they want to avoid a situation where a consumer tries to install a shrink-wrapped x86 program that won't run on a different architecture - but there are other means. e.g. distributing platform specific binaries through the Windows store.

gcj is largely abandonware since distros adopted openjdk.

(There might still be a case for an AOT compiler to replace hotspot but I'm not sure Excelsior JET has much industry adoption - at least not in the enterprises I worked at.)

A smart move by Intel. They need to grow the mindshare of hackers - much like the beagleboard made OMAP a popular choice for people hacking on smartphones.

For the poweruser an Intel smartphone can then multi-boot Windows 7/Ubuntu/Firefox OS/Android according to their whim.

i.e. develop a community with Android & FFOS mature on a single board computer and the results will flow to x86 phones and tablets. With Intel favouring Intel HD over PowerVR solutions, mature FOSS drivers are an advantage over the vendor blobs of Mali/Adreno/Tegra.

Why is MATE in all capitals?

It's not spelled that way in Uruguayan Spanish. Did they invent a witty backronym?

Why not use Okular?

I thought all the hipsters had switched to car-pooling in Teslas?

Judging by the number of slashvertisements...

Add the quarter of a million Japanese murdered by President Truman.

Leave the shit in the ground lest a 'rogue state' break the truce of mutually assured destruction. *cough* Al Qaeda *cough*

I'll wait for the mac nano.

They could halve the price if they abandoned Intel for their own A7 chip. i.e. iPad internals with 8GB RAM running OS X.
