I've read four pages of comments and not a single positive one, at least in the upvoted... I've compiled my "survey", giving mostly negative feedbacks. I really hope that thing will NEVER go live, also the "classic" mode is a joke, it's as classic as One Direction are in music...

I have a pair of GPL apps on the AppStore myself (one of which, Eat the Whistle, is not free), but if you want to build a closed source app it may be problematic. LGPL requires dynamic linkage, or object code redistribution, you cannot dynamic link libraries not present in the iOS sdk on the Apple App Store, or your app is rejected. So you can publish to the App Store, but only if you build an opensource app, or if you distribute the object files for "relink" (not practical nor acceptable for closed source stuff). There are a few well-known opensource libraries that, given this restriction, made a "mobile platform" exception to their licensing. Other, like SDL, moved from LGPL to BSD.

I'm quite sure, given the "free" license of QT is based on LGPL, that a developer will need a commercial license from Digia to publish an iOS app on the App Store :(

I think pandas and the oriental style of pandaria are the reason I'm not playing anymore. Only Hello Kitty could be a worse playable race than a fat panda. Raids are not that bad, but too many mechanics, the daily grind is horrible, and there are one a few new dungeons (and none since 5.0...). The burning crusade: an alien planet to "explore" The lich king: a charismatic foe to kill Cataclysm: a bad-ass dragon that destroyed the world Pandaria: an island full of alchol-addicted pandas with laughable evil guys... (what the hell is a sha? :) )

Fastweb in Italy is using this method since a decade. And it works quite well. They offer fiber or ADSL depending from the user location. Almost every internet service I used (IP blacklist, megaupload-like services...) know that behind a single fastweb IP there may be a million of users.

I've read the paper and I'd like to see the video the article talks about, but if I go to their site http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/vsv/ I only find a 'recursive' press release that points to the same URL to see the example video...

It was just matter of time, the first reviews of windows 8 were mainly from tech magazines/blog that need to keep their microsoft advertising revenue, now more and more real users are finding how painful is to use this two faced operative system. Apple approached the "touch world" with a new OS that share only some API foundations with OSX, while Microsoft touched only the "surface" of the problem, trying to adapt is best horse (windows 7) to the "touch world"... The result is awful, trying to use office on a RT tablet for a few minutes is enough to see how bad it is their tablet solution.... and the amount of "start menu tools" and "corner sensitivity remover" for the desktop version show how bad the metro interface is in a mouse/keyboard enviroment....

Is slashdot funded by M$? :) I see no other reason this "article" should stay in first page!

Please remove this post, the lamest programmer in the world will be able to avoid this "infection", as said by a lot of people QR codes contain binary datas or strings. I think this is a tabloid level post, an insult to slashdot users.

I'm quite sure that if adblock plus will change this way it will loose part of his userbase... for instance for chrome there are at least two ad blockers (adblock - chromeaddblock.com, and adblockplus - addblockplus.org)

Don't update your VLC if you have OSX 10.4.x (or 10.3.9). VLC dropped 10.4 support for "technical reasons" in 1.0.0rc2, the newer version that works on 10.4 is 0.9.9a.

The comic pages in the /. link are partially slashdotted...

Google has posted an official (fast) link for it:
