Works fine on Intel Ivy Bridge /Mesa/Linux here

Looking at it from a class perspective:

"Erdogan’s vision of Turkey is one full of citizens who piously pray in the country’s ubiquitous mosques and then go shopping at one of its equally ubiquitous malls, which are frantically being built in urban areas.

As long as the imports, credit card, and debt-driven Turkish economic bubble remains intact, the government will continue to pursue these and other neoliberal policies to the great praise of western think-thanks, private equity firms, and politicians who all repeat the fallacy of the ‘Turkish [success] model’.

Notwithstanding these neoliberal economic policies, Erdogan is still extremely popular among Turkey’s poor and working people in both urban and rural areas. Most western observers have missed this crucial fact and are, therefore, quick to enthusiastically compare the Gezi Park protests with the ‘Arab Spring’.

One has only to speak with blue-collar workers in Turkey to understand popular attitudes toward the government. Whenever I am in Istanbul, I engage in political small talk with people from various walks of life, including waiters, construction workers, and young men working on the ferries crossing the Bosporus. I also frequently visit my family members, who are from a poor Anatolian background.

In my conversations with these people, I have heard nothing but firm support for Erdogan. When asked about Turkey’s unemployment rate or the Prime Minister’s nepotism, most of these individuals do not hesitate to say, “I know that Erdogan is also ‘siphoning the cash’ (hortumluyorlar). But good for him (helal olsun). At least he is leaving us some crumbs. The previous bastards never gave us everything.” Memories of many decades of economic and political oppression by secular elites are still fresh for many Turks. Because of the AKP, these people now have access to things like privatized health care, credit card use, and unprecedented infrastructure development."

The Last Psychiatrist also covered Sandberg as a female role model, you might find it interesting:

If you're per chance running on Linux/Intel/IvyBridge, it can be even faster than on Windows:

Details:

Windows 7 (latest Intel GPU drivers), Firefox 23 nightly

Ubuntu 13.04 with custom Mesa git (Mesa 9.1 also works, but a bit slower), Firefox 23 nightly

I had to set layers.acceleration.force-enabled variable to true in Firefox (in about:config) because it is blacklisted for some reason on Linux/Intel (probably some previously resolved bug).

The browser Window was maximized in 1920x1080, and game view was not full-screened.

Cpu is i5-3320M on Thinkpad X230

Windows: 40.5 FPS Linux: 43.6 FPS

As for the physics, you can clearly see flags waving and trees moving, as well as birds flying and water running.

If you look at the video you'll see they have full gameplay with bots. Presumably they still have some bugs to iron out or are working on how to present the whole thing to users as a playable game on the web.

Not directly related, but highly relevant: IE seems to be getting WebGL support: http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/30/4165204/microsoft-bringing...

Both your and the op story reminded me of the British TV show Only Fools and Horses.

There's also Unity of Command, a strategy game that focuses on logistics. Review here: http://kotaku.com/5954358/unity-of-command-the-kotaku-review

So this is basically forward error correction (FEC) optimized for TCP specifically?

Nice: Samsung Exynos 5 Dual Processor.

Another laptop (there are too few of them) with an ARM CPU. Too bad it will not be available in Croatia.

I think they may be referring to non volatile (phase change) memory.

You are probably not giving your body enough time to recover the muscles damaged in your workouts.

For more details i can recommend "Body by Science" by John Little and Doug McGuff.

Or google "muscle recovery time" and read through

Isn't "OpenGL - The good parts" actually called OpenGL 2.0 ES?

There's not just one Optimus implementation, there are many ways to wire Optimus. My colleague bought an Optimus laptop (can't remember which one now) that absolutely doesn't have the nVidia part of Optimus working. See here for details: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Optimus

Windows licence is not free, you know? And there are plenty Linux hosting options that provide other language runtimes.
