Even more concerning is the callers at the end.
Not being an American, it was rather a shock to hear a member of the military calling up after the debate that America should invade Iran and they they urge people to vote for a certain candidate so nobody touched the military. The justification? "We have to get them before they get us".
Great work America - fix your shit up by going to war. That worked so well last time.
Sadly, how is any of this a surprise?
What is even worse is that most people would say it is morally wrong to withhold this information - but the voice of the average person is ignored these days...
Samsung parts make up a solid quarter of the electronics in iPhones and iPads! It gets better: Samsung fabricate the phones...!
So what happens to Apple if Samsung decide to be bastards and pull the plug on parts
And just to make things better, Samsung owns the patents for the 'retina display' - so if Samsung don't sell the screens to Apple, who can Apple get to make them? That's right, nobody.
I do exactly this to get my fix in Team Fortress 2. 3 x 24" screens running 1920x1080. The outer screens are angled ~30 degrees in and using the bevel removal tool for the ATI card seems to get the perspective thing sorted out.
I have hotkeys in the ATI Control Panel that allow me to switch configs between the three screens being seen as a single display (giving me 5968x1080 with bevel correction) and 3 x seperate 1920x1080 for normal use.
Why 3 screens? Well, if you have 2 - look at the bevels between the two screens, and your aiming point in just about EVERY FPS game will be smack bang in the middle. Use 1 screen or 3. Don't even try with just 2!
Oh, I dunno... how about fixing bugs in the Thunderbird UI and elsewhere that have persisted for a timespan of years when they've been reported to GetSatisfaction and Bugzilla?
I agree. Using the IMAP COMPRESS feature and I'm always getting told I have XX,XXX new messages when a single message drops into the inbox. The number seems to be random, but its always in the 5 figures. Always laughable for a single new message
One game I would love to see hit an Open Source license is Theme Hospital.
The game is great by itself (I just finished playing it again!) although there are many bugs and things that could really be improved upon.
There are attempts at an open source version - but having the original code would be orders of magnitude better...
I posted this just above, but as this is a thread purely about linux on SB, I'll place it here also:
Be careful. You may get bitten by this bug. The tl;dr version: If your apps use dynamic loading on Sandy Bridge, you may get segmentation faults cause by a bug in glibc.
RHEL should have this fixed by release 6.3. Other clones of EL will get the fix via the update to 6.3 after RH has released it.
We run a large number of XenApp servers as VM's and while total system throughput is important so is single threaded performance. Right now we use x5670's with 2.93 GHz clock speeds and a 95W TDP. I'm wondering if the E5-2660 would be as powerful for single threaded workloads which would get us 33% more total throughput for the same power budget but I'm not sure that a 2.2GHz base clock with a 500MHz turbo boost using the SB core is going to be as fast as a 2.93GHz Westmere core.

Because they damaged US computer systems on US soil.
Awesome. Does that mean other countries can extradite US politicians and business men for screwing over companies and in some cases entire countries?
Oh right, what was I thinking...
As someone who recently jailbroke his iPad2, its one of the best things to ever happen to my iPad!
I bought a WiFi only model - as for my purposes, the onboard GPS is *very* substandard. When then trying to use a normal bluetooth GPS, I find out that you need a GPS that speaks "Apple" at $99USD + shipping to your country. After the jailbreak, a $5 donation to the guy who wrote a part of a bluetooth driver and bingo, now it works with ANY bluetooth GPS.
Theres also this awesome extension called "Mail Extender" that adds all the features that mail clients have developed over the last 10 years when Apple decided that you shall not send anything but plain text emails.
Thankfully, I live in a country where console modchips and other methods for device compatibility are 100% legal - and tested in court.
I wonder how this will affect radio propagation... From the brief bits that I learnt many years ago, a charged atmosphere reflects HF radio much better making low powered communications across the globe possible.
Someone who understands more about this than I do able to enlighten me a little?
Its interesting how TFA says most disabled IPv6 support after the day - however:
host www.v6.facebook.com
www.v6.facebook.com has IPv6 address 2620:0:1cfe:face:b00c::3
# host ipv6.google.com
ipv6.google.com is an alias for ipv6.l.google.com.
ipv6.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2404:6800:4006:800::1011
Looks like of the 3 listed, only 1 backed out - Bing.
Has anyone stopped to think about piracy for a second? The BIOS loaders just about make Win7/Vista/Server2008 anti-piracy a joke. It circumvents it completely.
I figure if this actually does what it sounds, the main aim is to close the door on the bios loaders that prevent any kind of effective copy protection on Windows... If they could do it for x86, they would.
To do nothing is to be nothing.
