Not to the best of my knowledge. It ain't my area of expertise but if I recall correctly directx is pretty tied in with various elements of Windows so you'd pretty much have to reimplement aspects of...
Saying that DRM will improve usability is like saying that attaching a ball and chain to my leg will make walking easier <_<;
DRM needs to die a slow, painful and overly horrible death amidst much...
It should be noted that in terms of actual numbers Ubuntu only did ~10% worse, the tests were only done on one hardware configuration and whilst there was a good selection of distros there, it's...

Probably the best trap I purposefully fell into.
Installing Linux on something is not only the solution to all problems, but the proof that the "something" is worth existing. Now someone help me install Linux on the moon so I can turn it into a...
Comic Sans is such a readable, appropriate font that can be used for any occasion! Especially business documents and websites!
Emphasis on "may". I'd say that it's still far too early to be able to predict the likelihood of this actually happening. Whilst I'd like to say that it's almost guaranteed to happen eventually, I...
Considering that we've been working on AI pretty much since the dawn of computing and even with our most powerful technology today we're still trying to tackle the problems of 50 years ago...Don't...
Anything I would have said has pretty much already been said: the fork was a good decision, we can physically test the improvements, Ubuntu (and several other distros) didn't use vanilla OpenOffice...
I haven't tried Lubuntu out myself but I have tried LXDE before and for quite a while openbox on its own was my wm of choice. The DE is light, fast, has some good alternative applications, a pretty...
Xubuntu is a bloated mess of inferior components that shows xfce in a bad light!
You should use Lubuntu instead :P
When discovering that your (just barely) smartphone doesn't have a terminal, deciding to force install a ssh client onto it and get a shell account on a server so that now you do have a terminal...

I guess I was hasty in purging the package and installing manually yesterday >.<
Loving the updates on the whole. Sauerbraten map integration is a lot smoother, voting bugs were fixed, league mode...
The Linux sound system is a strange, complex and potentially conflicted place to be.
Personally, I would prefer it if OSS4 got more development and more distros supported it (or at least stopped...
Hmm, being able to transfer your WiiWare and Virtual Console stuff over to the Wii U is pretty important. Should be interesting to see what sort of small downloadable games we see to make use of the...
AUDIO PLAYER
Amarok[2]
Audacious [1]
Banshee [1]
Sonata [2]
Totem [1]
VLC [1]
Clementine [1]
I'm aware of that but I'm still doubtful. It seems a lot of effort considering the gap between the release of Skyward Sword and the Wii U, not to mention that I'm not too sure the game will benefit...
When an "average user" (whatever that means) coming over from windows sees lines and lines of text in a dialog window of some sort, they'll either freak out or close it and ignore it. With the cli...
Granted. Unfortunately, people's opinions on "better" tend to differ and you end up getting hit in the face with an object of...unknown origin.
I wish I was in a perpendicular universe rather than a...
I keep on seeing the UI argument against GIMP cropping up time and time again but I still don't quite see it. Yeah, few programs use multi-window approaches and it's a tad different but on the whole...
Granted, on the condition that "with my mind" means that your mind is within a 50 mile radius of it and you have no control over it. Yeah, good luck using your computer.
I wish for the next...
