I didn't have any problems running examples from tutorial at http://tomaka.github.io/glium/tutorials/01-getting-started.h... on windows

If there are issues you could report them on https://github.com/tomaka/glium/issues

Thanks for the encouragement - I downloaded Rust 1.2 for windows and finally I got this working out of the box. Yay! (still had weird problems at Rust 1.0 beta...)

No, thanks. SpyHub would be more adequate name.

I would reconsider it when I could put my own software on it, that would not require untrusted third-party accounts.

I suppose you should stay far away from Google Fiber then, as well. And anything else done by the evil Google. Much better to keep with the good guys like Comcast. They will never, ever spy on you.

Thats a false dichotomy. There have always been fiber providers, its just that Google Fiber is the "sexy" one that people look to for salvation instead of locally campaigning for fiber (which has been successful in quite a number of cities across the USA).

This reminds me of how (in some parts of Europe at least) a lot of communities are trying to buy back the municipal water and power plants that were originally privatised "because privatisation benefits the economy". Turns out creating a (new) monopoly by selling all the public infrastructure to the same company isn't actually good for anyone (other than that company).

I'm outside US, so yeah I'm gonna stay far away from Google Fiber as well as from Comcast. Don't worry.

lol. I like your name. I wonder how ISPs will react to this.

> Can this really work when applied just partially?

Since this is an experiment I doubt anyone reasonable participating in it would leave their work and live only on basic income. So the result is already determined - basic income doesn't change anything.

IMO to test basic income theory, it should be implemented nation-wide for unspecified period of time - with the ability to cancel it at anytime in case of when negative effects significantly outweight positive ones. When it gets cancelled it failed.

> However, it is unfortunate that there is no open source driver for this platform.

What about this one:

http://malideveloper.arm.com/develop-for-mali/drivers/open-s... ?

The closest to Open Source driver is lima, http://limadriver.org/ but libv has stopped working on it for now. see http://libv.livejournal.com/tag/lima

Sadly, the kernel driver is of limited use since the user-space driver is what does everything.

Some more info: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTY3OTM

Exactly - the open source kernel driver is just a gateway for the user space driver to access the hardware. The real magic is in the closed source, user space driver.

I believe Linus has stopped accepting these kinds of Trojan horse drivers into the mainline kernel, unless an open source user space component that does at least handle 2D graphics through it is also available.

This password locking is worthless - most (if not all) BIOSes have backdoor password that allows anyone to bypass password lock.

Here's one of the pages that lists some of them: http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/reference/biosp.htm

Some devices make this very difficult. Well, not very difficult - just more time consuming. I was trying to unlock a BIOS password on a Toshiba Satellite maybe 3 years ago, none of the default or "backdoor" passwords would work. However, you were able to reset it by using a jumper to complete a specific part of the circuit.. Not for the faint hearted, however if a thief steals the laptop, they'll have no problem opening it up in their own time.

I'm glad they've made this harder, as most thieves are deterred by the technical aspects of breaking in to wipe a computer.

Don't even get me started on the passwords to unlock HDD's, the ones you set on the BIOS... One day I will write how I unlocked the Toshiba(TSSTCorp) HDD I had forgotten the password for on my laptop. I had to buy a new HDD, because I didn't have a spare one at the time, but I did it in less than 5 minutes, unscrewing and screwing the laptop covers and HDD's included. They weren't even the same brand. I bought a Samsung to unlock the Hitachi.

Also you could probably reset the bios in a couple minutes.

Don't say anything - they already chose what's best for them.

They left one of the bullshits camp and hopefully they will be more careful next time before they will try to associate with another.

People learn on mistakes.

Wayland also uses intrusive circular linked lists - but it doesn't need owner pointer, since that pointer can be computed from pointer to link, and offset of that link in owner structure. I wonder if doom 3 really needed it.

I don't use ad-blocker - instead I have disabled js on all-sites by default, and have enabled click-to-run-plugin setting (I use chromium).

Thanks to this settings, I don't see ads and don't support shit sites with static content hidden behind js-wall - like blogspot or google groups.
