It seems to me like a bad idea to have your UNIX admins try to figure it out when a good Windows admin is what's needed.

I read the OP as saying, "I love *NIX and that's all I really know in depth as an Admin. I have no clue how to find someone similar for Windows. How would I go about that?". I didn't read it as condescending, but clearly many here did.

GoldenEye would have been decent with a reasonable field of view and mouse/keyboard controls. The joystick on the N64 was just not adequate. It was like playing Quake with mittens on.

Don't get all defensive about Arch, GP was referring to Gentoo.

I am thinking of sites like Salesforce, Kashoo, Highrise, and many others, where they don't really have a good mobile site, but a tablet application is a very very useful thing to have. Always they implement for iOS first. It's obnoxious, even though I understand there are sound business reasons for it at the moment.

Android apps are generally expected to deal with a range of screen sizes. I know this causes a headache for developers, but if you own multiple devices in different form factors, it's a blessing.

Android has been able to do that for a long time, both with stock browsers and third-party (like Firefox).

I'd love to think you're right. However, what I think really gives Apple such an edge now is that EVERYONE makes apps for the iPad. And most of them make no apps for Android. There is a sort of network effect in play with the iPad. What amazes me as primarily an Android user is that iPad users often have to buy separate, more expensive versions of the same app for iPad even if they already have said app on their iPhone. What a ripoff.

I understand that, but the issue is making it more difficult to do the cracking/downloading/installing than to buy legitimately. It has been discussed elsewhere in this thread, but it's just not worth trying to lock it down more for the people who can't/won't pay $1 for most apps. I just thought the license server DRM (vs. simply not allowing access to the APK files on the system) would go a long way toward improving the difficulty. Guess not. That said, the author of TFA is an asshat.

What happened with the license server mechanism they added? I thought that would work more or less.

My main problem with e16 is that all of the modern things like wifi and removable drive auto-mounting aren't really supported. I'm discovering (as I type this from i3) that some of these other spartan window managers don't have those things either. In my quest to try it anyway, I'm finding a number of utilities that are filling in OK, if not great, for the modern trimmings in Gnome and KDE. I'm fine with the command line, but I do find that some of those conveniences are worth a little extra bloat on modern machines.

Sounds like Enlightenment. I loved e16 and used it for a long time, but I found it didn't age well. The much-anticipated e17 feels like a step backward to me. Just installed awesome and am excited to try it! Thanks!

I recently moved to a rural area where VZW is the ONLY carrier providing service. Unfortunately I had to leave T-Mobile (which I loved) and come to the Dark Side. I always thought it was kind of silly that they charge so much extra for the wireless hotspot service. I guess probably enough people were tethering without that service that they decided to just roll it into their data fees and make it non-optional. I cannot wait until another carrier, any carrier other than VZW, offers service here.

I have an account on Watson, but I have not really used it. We were going to attempt to port our code to the BlueGene architecture, but it's a royal pain to code for and it doesn't scale well for some applications. Ours runs much better on fewer, faster CPUs with lots of RAM rather than many, slower CPUs with little RAM.

I used to love those games when I was a teenager. I don't know if it's that I'm older and wiser, or the conversion to more realistic 3D instead of sprite people, but the video makes me feel a little ill now.
I'm not passing judgement on the game or people who might enjoy it. I might even actually enjoy it. I was expecting to be excited watching the video but I did not have the reaction I expected.
