It's priced like a pc only in the sense that it's less expensive than a tablet.
removed one of the licenses.
I've just decided I'm going to remove the license for the software I have on my machine because I don't like it. I'm sure Microsoft and Apple will be just fine with this, as the precedent has been set by somebody doing this with BSD code and replacing it with GPL.
for the sarcasm impaired: you can't REMOVE somebody's license simply because you don't like it.
I know a lot of the Linux zealots don't care to acknowledge it, but the reality is that the viral clauses are just a matter of cutting off your own nose to spite your face. There's a real incentive to contributing back patches in that it's expensive to maintain your own fork, just for a few patches.
Let alone going to the trouble of writing your own entire compiler framework...
Phoronix - adview trolling website for Linux/GNU fanboys to set up rigged benchmarks of Linux vs. X, to get users/developers/fans of X enraged and visiting the site.
The number of massively flawed benchmarks done by phoronix lead me to believe this is the only logical purpose of the site. One or two benchmark screw ups is one thing, but to consistently screw up benchmarks to make everybody else's software look bad via subtle omission ro selection of bad configuration is just trolling.
Benchmarks are nothing to do with it. CLANG is more modular, generates better compiler warnings, plays nicely with IDEs and works better with Objective-C, for a start.
Benchmark performance can be improved with time. CLANG was started mostly because the GCC maintainer(s) were not interested in improving the objective-c support.
Plane hijackings and bombings are so notable because they're so exceedingly rare. I think in the entire history of flight the total number of documented cases is under 100. Worldwide.
Hyping up a climate of fear over something that's less than a rounding error isn't productive, but I congratulate you on your patriotism.
Colors are better like pure black!
If it feels better to use, and the power usage of the CPU is lost in the screen (I don't know if this is the case, it certainly is on my phone, with a lower power ARM chip), then the difference between 4 W and 0 W is irrelevant.
