Well, this would be the single most obvious thing in the world if you ask me. If i was designing an app to scan those codes i woudln't just act on whatever content that the user might encounter but instead present him with whatever it is the QR code is saying.

So instead of scan->immediately open goatse, how hard can it be to go:
scan->Show user that the QR code contains a link to goatse and then they can decide whether to go there or not.

Likewise with all other kinds of content (usually it's just pointers though, like links to market, web sites, etc

so what... its an electric engine, thereby you can run it at much lower power outputs and in contrast to an ICE it still runs at near-perfect efficiency...

huh?
ive been running chrome on ubuntu for ages now and never ever had even one issue with it. im actually running the unstable versions and theyre perfectly fine.
i cant see your problem

AFAIK, most mobile network providers are NAT-ing to
a) reduce the number of IP's they have to give out
b) keep you from dropping all connections every time you switch from one tower to the next

Uh what?? I do always get sustainable 12 Mbit out of my DSL line here in Germany (which is advertised as 16MBit, but due to bad lines only goes to 12). I get 7Mbit out of my prepaid cheapo 10 €/Mo unlimited (but slows down to GPRS after 1 GB of usage) mobile plan (vodafone) and am soon switching to 32Mbit cable at home (which i've been told is sustainable as well).

What exactly is the big deal with getting customers rates exceeding 4 Mbit??? Gotta be kidding me...

Oh, and while I'm at it, I should probably go and proof-read sentences I edited before posting :)

This, absolutely!

I believe thats what the summary suggested, you can go ahead and learn to type as quickly as possible, but there's a limit as for how fast your mind can come up with code that actually solves the problem.

I can type quite fast, even though i only use thumb to ring finger on my right hand and the index finger on my left hand. This is not a limit for me though, because the bottleneck is the mind and not the fingers. Same with language in generel, english is not my native language and i while i don't have to actively think about what I'm expressing, i still not to kind of fill an internal buffer, not unlike a CD-R application writing.

So yeah, go for eliminating bottlenecks. There's this old saying about optimising:
1) Don't do it. 2) Don't do it, yet. -- Meaning, look for bottlenecks first!

HTC Desire MIUI 12.18 2.6.25.9 HAVS AXI BFS -> 1.13GHz Score: 3973 Way to go, my desktop went to 13563, though, i must admit, the tests ran way slower on the phone than the numbers might suggest. Im guessing the score doesn't scale linearly?

obviosly it means data is being accelerated at 1g on planet bacteria :)

Noooo, I've written for XNA in the past and if you're paying attention you will notice that commercial Xbox games are NOT XNA based. Yes..it might be possible to run these on an Xbox, but then only the simplest of games will do so comfortably. I have seen DirectX vs XNA sheets saying there's almost an order of magnitude of performance difference between the platforms. XNA is nice if that is a non-issue for you, but if there is considerable overhead, good luck to you, if you know what you're doing, switch to DX now. XNA is NOT viable for big titles on mobile phones!

This is ridiculous, no one I know is sending 50 texts a day, just think of the time it takes to type all of those, let them be received and read and finally replied to so the person would send the next text. Even taking into account multiple texts per message (aka >160 characters per message) and the odd occasion where one would send to multiple recipients it just doesn't make any sense.

My guess is these numbers are per week at most.

37 deg today and 38deg coming up over the next few days. Extremely hot for Germany, it's awesome ;)

wrong, I've travelled frequently from Germany to Scotland and was never asked for a passport. A German ID card was always sufficient.

I have seen a rather different sunset last night in west-germany, it was beautiful, but then again.. it got be stranded here while university deadlines are due in EDI next week...

Could you elaborate exactly as to what exactly you mean with that giant middle finger? I did play MW2 and i was quite impressed with many of the details in that game. Granted, i did not play the first MW a whole lot, but seriously, MW2 was far from a bad game.

If this is about some weird multiplayer aspect like dedicated servers.. right... i never took any interest in that (aside from LAN parties where this obviosly doesn't really apply) so i can't really comment on that... still, how does it make MW2 a bad game?
