Microsoft only started looking to hire hardware developers for the new xbox in March: http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/08/microsoft-goes-on-a-hiring-spree-for-new-xbox-hardware-devs-sta/ The same article claims MS has slated the new xbox for after 2015. Any announcement at this point would...

"Those who don't understand UNIX are doomed to reinvent it... poorly." The idea that Windows is targeted more because it is more popular is predicated on the notion that all operating systems are exactly secure as each other, which is an absurd idea. It's just not possible for two complex...

Probably... I'm not familiar with Ubuntu/Mint GUI tools. You can check from the command line, you should get an output something like this: $ lsmod | grep nvidia nvidia 10082726 58 i2c_core 23725 1 nvidia If you are already running nvidia, then its possible...

Haven't seen exactly that behavior but sounds a lot like a compositing issue, have you tried running with it off? I think Mint uses the "nouveau" driver by default for nvidia cards, it's come a long way but is still pretty crappy for OpenGL acceleration and (I think) still does video decoding...

Eww, smells like sex in here.

+1 vote for choice. Competition will either make them [repos] stronger or kill them off. Either way we get better solutions.

Aye, you can make use of whatever you have ready access to. You can even find special "LCD cleaning fluid" at exactly 33% if you look hard enough, but it will cost ya five times as much. It's easier and cheaper to mix it yourself then to find a supplier, unless you have a link to share?

True that, but unless you leave your pandora running a web or ssh server visible from the internet, I wouldn't worry about it ;)

So you've already got confirmation for a batch 2 order? Your order still stands, you don't have to pay anything else if you don't want to. If you want to get your unit sooner you can pay the extra and get it in 7 days. Cheap and slow or expensive and fast. Up to you.

Very close. What you want is common 70% isopropyl mixed 50/50 with distilled water (you do not want the 100% isopropyl for this job, but by-the-by it's great for cleaning CPU's - you can easily get that decanted at a chemist, they have gallons of it). For the love of god don't use a solvent! I...

New customers can just forget about pre-orders and batches. Historical curiosity is all - "Batch 2" was a batch of pre-orders that was to start manufacture after the first batch of pre-orders was complete. The pre-orders were supposed to get the project off the ground to allow normal production...

Steam for iOS/Android isn't surprising - They already have the publishing area of the business down, they just need to develop one app to steal Apple/Google's cut of game sales. But IF they do this it will be a different distribution channel to normal Steam. Want Angry Birds? Sure! Want...

You know, I'd be ok with it if either the bewbs or the thread were actually worth looking at again...

Well, if you got the same email I did, it wasn't exactly a guarantee: But I do agree with your point (I think). OPT got my order after they contacted me and raised my expectations. Those expectations have not been met, and I would have expected at least the same level of contact from OPT that I...

Article submitted for discussion - Starts off a bit basic for experienced linux guys but gets into a lot of depth. May be of interest : Link

1) Zelda OOT 2) Super Mario 64 3) Goldeneye 4) Mario Kart 64 5) Tetrisphere (why does nobody ever count this game!)

Paranoia about how much the proprietary guys might lock down their systems is a little misplaced IMO. They are already closed systems, we already have better alternatives, and we will continue to have free platforms in the future. If they want to go down this path they can go pound sand. With...

Awesome!
