Does android ask you for permission to be mounted or at least notify you?

Im still using an old n900 which asks you if you want it to just load its battery, be a modem or be a mass storage device.

You should port it to several platforms and license it as a library. I would think there are many companys interested in a fast jpeg encoder that is not embedded in an iPhone App :)

Somewhat reminds me of Kim "Dotcom" Schmitz.

People in iceland like strange stuff, compared to other european countries.

edit: as other people noted, the sample size is probably too small there.

I do like the HTML5 version, but i don't want to install flash so i can't compare them.

But thanks for porting your game. Gives me hope that flash might die some day.

I live without flash since 2 years. Its not so hard anymore now that youtube uses html 5 videos.

> Questioning it now, when there is clearly no real confusion [...] is prescriptivist and hair-splitting.

Probably. But it was the first thing that sprang to my mind while reading the article. In an article titled "We Aren't The World" i would have expected a bit more caution.

I find it weird that nobody questions the use of the word 'american' in the article. Would the Machiguenga not also be (at least South-) Americans?

Ah, if you want to nitpick, a lunatic might also have a good (at least for him) reason for killing you, be it that you catch his gaze at the wrong time or that it is just his way of having fun.

But thats beside the point.

As for how many lunatics we have, does it matter? What i wanted to imply is that its far from normal to enjoy killing. Not that this is the case for every lunatic. How many of those people we have and how many of them are actual criminals i don't know.

When in Germany someone breaks into your house, he will most probably not shoot you or even harm you. He will not even be carrying a gun. You know why? Because he knows that you do not have a gun. Or at least he can be pretty certain about it. Nobody likes to kill people (except a few lunatics), so nobody will kill you unless you give them a very good reason to. Drawing a gun, for example, is such a reason.

By giving guns away to everyone, you actually force criminals to carry weapons. You encourage them to shoot house owners on sight, because if they do not they might be shot themselves.

I do not have a gun license and i don't need a gun. Guns kill people, and nobody wants that.

They might become the Microsoft of the mobile market.

You buy a PC (as opposed to a Mac) -> It runs Windows

You buy a phone (as opposed to an iPhone)-> It runs Android

I hope that doesn't happen, though.

I think they are just corrupt on a much higher level. Sure, you might not have everyday bribery, but if a big company chooses to fuck you they will not have a problem with closing both eyes for a minute.

After watching a few Bezmenov videos, i wonder if your Group B is still trying to subvert the west?

My believe was that the KGB had degenerated into some sort of mafia and russia was now playing the capitalist game (by their own rules of course). But then again i don't know much about those things.

The only one i think i can't figure out is Group D. Also, if my guesses are right, the economic beliefs of Group B are not so different from Group A anymore.

Imposing limits (low resolution, few colors) on your work can amplify your creativity.

As everyone knows, there are secret nazi-bases below antarctica, so those are probably nazi-engineered bio weapons. :)

I used to use a similar oneliner:

This was exactly what i had in mind. Thanks :)

I always wondered if it would be possible to launch a small satelite from a balloon.

Wikipedia should allow per project/task funding, so you could dedicate your money to infrastructure, lobbying, single research projects or any combination of those.

It's Rhinos all the way down ...

> In this case, the defendant added the anti-piracy monitoring company as a friend, which allowed him to be “caught.”

This is equivalent to asking a friend for his wifi key, downloading a song and then have him sued for copyright infringement. Obviously he is the bad guy!

I want a green one!

It seems to be a commonly used example md5 sum.

What you describe is the actual procedure of switching threads. What cheatercheater describes is the mechanics of initiating this switch. You have "checkpoints" in the thread, where the thread finds out if it is to be descheduled and performs a conditional branch to the code that does what you described. Apparently in GHC code, there is no conditional branch instruction, an unconditional jump is generated on the fly, probably to avoid branch mispredictions.

Thank god! Finally companies will start optimizing their software again.

Oh come on, free software does not imply an open source development model and vice versa. You could very well have the software developed by a professional team and release it as free software.
