    I run 12.3 on some family PCs and it doesn't obey Qt theming or styling, so I'm pretty sure its not Qt based (yet, at least). I'm also curious why they would pick Ruby when I imagine that this makes...

    It seems odd that the distro that is pretty much "the kde distro" is using Ruby to rewrite its control center in. I'd figure PySide or just actual C++ Qt (just without the KDE dependencies for their...

    What? This isn't about managed vs unmanaged, and if anything the Linux development space is trending towards Qt, which is C++ and native, since Java is a slow boring piece of crap, and C# (mainly...

    In defense of C++ on the char thing (though it isn't much of a defense) any reasonable modern language would be implementing chars as code points which, by being variable size, can't be contained in...

    Then they should build their own semi plant. If TSMC is unreasonable they should switch vendors or build their own, but complaining about it isn't getting them any sympathy.

    They just want low power consumption. Efficiency wise, spending money on ARM cores that you aren't using in computation isn't giving you efficiency benefits. For a comparison of common gpgpu...

    Same thing happened last year - I built a 5800k HTPC, and needed to run Ubuntu 12.10 on it (though now I'd just throw on Tumbleweed Suse...) since the 12.04 kernel at the time didn't support Trinity.
