Given ethics and mandates of journalism, I would argue that signing such an agreement makes the information no longer news. So they have to choose, do news or do PR.

Yep yep.

I think the real point here is that Apple micro architecture is different enough that a generic ARM target is not going to be very good. I haven't looked in a while, but I suspect that the combination of Intel compiler and numerical libraries still beat gcc on mobile targets.

20th post!

You are most likely suggesting something that will increase the complexity of the project.

No. The VM does not have the key. The hardware has the key and only that core can run it. Practically, someone can take the die apart, xray it, and get the key. At that point they have access to the code that was was on that cpu -- maybe -- but you can avoid total loss by distributing across a large number of cores. The intel implementation was broken, but the idea is pretty sound. Seriously, read the papers.

This version was released today and it is already one major revision behind Intellij IDEA. Why can't they track jetbrains head branch?

D'oh. Every three days....

How is an extra 40 minutes two timezones? It should be less than one.

my thoughts exactly.

factoid (n): something that seems true, but isn't

The most likely case is that the EFI system does not have enough control authority to trim the mixtures for fuels that have very different stoichiometric ratios. For example, E85 may require up to 30% more fuel volume than gasoline. That means you need fuel injector with 30% additional capacity _and_ EFI logic to drive them. It's not very hard to do, it just hurts the bottom line.

The information in that article skirts the border of misleading and bogus. Almost any modern (EFI) gasoline engine is capable of running an alcohol fuel with minimal modifications. Many engines, such as low displacement supercharged ones used in small cars, _will_ run more efficiently because of the higher octane rating. Ethanol is a very effective cleaning product. Many people seems to believe it can "gum" up engine parts while in reality it is simply stripping precipatates off the fueling system itself that may have built up over years of use.
