Comment Odd version numbers (Score 3, Insightful) 378

My understanding is that the jump to 3.0 is simply that they no longer want to have the second digit even means stable and odd means unstable versioning any more. So rather than going to 2.7.0 and having everyone assume it's unstable or skipping 2.7.0 and going straight to 2.8.0 just to maintain an old and unused version system, they have went with 3.0.

Comment Re:Population density is a plausible cause. (Score 1) 274

The article says that the USA as a whole has a lower use of secured AP. So unless there are huge numbers of unsecured APs in the rural areas of America, the large cities (with their secured APs according to this theory) will swamp the results, yet that doesn't seem to have happened. Therefore I think population density isn't the major factor, and this is bore out by the fact that Sweden and Norway (countries with low density) can come higher than higher density countries.

The densities for the larger European countries are ordered: Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Germany. While those countries were high on the list, it cannot be all there is too it as Spain comes top.

Comment Spatial FTW! (Score 1) 311

I have to say I'm disappointed by this. I much prefer the simple interface of the spatial view.

Where was that file I was looking at earlier? Open folder, there is is exactly where it was the last time I was in this folder.

Oh well another simple interface lost to the bells and whistles brigade.
