It is very desireable to have a phone that is capable of handling desktop computing workloads. Because, you know, that's the point where you plug your phone into a dock with a 21" display and...

I hate to say it, but I agree. About the elegance of the code, that is. As for spring cleaning apt-get, there's the Raptorial project that a Debian derivative was working, that sounded really...

But do you guys really think Canonical will want to re-write that low in the stack? I mean, don't they already have their hands full?

Then again, they already looked like they had their hands full...

QupZilla? Seriously? I use the thing on an old Athlon XP powered PC running Razor-Qt and am very happy with it there, but that's because it's old hardware that can't really handle modern Firefox or...

I think there's some FUD about the impending doom of the various *buntus. Writing distro-specific patches to enable KDE / Xfce / LXDE to run on top of Mir is beyond the resources available to the...

I actually find the three-state DNT to be the most interesting change. It's not impressive or exciting from a technical perspective, but I interpret it as a strategic victory for privacy advocates in...

Let me just add one more thing: What bothers me about Canonical's decisions more than what I wrote above is the Amazon search and it's opt-out nature. I think I'd be more at ease with Canonical's...

I too don't like the simplistic view. Ubuntu has a lot to recommend it. But Linux users who don't use Ubuntu feel that the development of Ubuntu affects the ecosystem as a whole, and therefore...

If a given piece of software offers features another piece of software does not, that's good. That's merited differentiation. I think what has so many veteran Linux users upset with Canonical is that...

I don't think the two issues are that different. Governments can be changed. I am asking why we don't approach corporate encroachment into our lives the same way.

Why is it a given that there won't be an internet without DRM? I think RMS and supporters of his argument make a very good point when they argue that standardizing DRM encourages it to spread. I...

Fonts are not supposed to look identical at all sizes. A font that looks good at 8 points won't look as good at 12 points if it is simply scaled up, regardless of how perfect the scaling is. It's an...

I used to have a career in "business" (retail management, actually, but that's close enough), and in business, I was bombarded on a regular basis by stats and studies estimating that written...

That's also assuming Disney won't be releasing any more Toy Story films or introducing any other new characters through some other media. On the contrary, I think Debian has an endless well of names...

After re-reading what I wrote in here, I've realized that I'm essentially spreading FUD. Let me just add a footnote to make a point absolutely clear: I am merely speculating on what this installer...

I think that having RPM as the only packaging format in the spec is the reason why LSB never took off. I think the LSB developers and writers should just have skipped that part of the spec. Better...

I remember seeing a reference to a survey about a year or two ago that said that people being confused with package management, with not being able to go to a website and download the installer for...

From what I recall, what platform stats you're submitting depends on what platform you're running Steam on when the survey snapshot is taken. I think the survey snapshot is taken once a month right...

I think that the decline of XP is due more to EOL concerns than to preference for or appeal of alternatives. XP EOL is less than a year away now.

The really extreme ones don't bother me as much as the mild ones because I find it easier to tune them out. Still, they create needless noise, so as much as I hate the idea of censorship I guess in...
