But looking at this, this does not look like OEM Apple iPhone chassis.

Apple had better use MHL on that connector instead of some wierd and wonderful format.
I just had my first kernel panic in... 7 years I think.
[QUOTE=gman003-main;36124325]First, [citation needed], on all those numbers. Seriously - if you're going to claim 80% of all code on the planet is [anything], you need to back that up.
Second, judging programs (and languages) by lines of code is like judging aircraft by weight, to paraphrase a famous quote. I've heard that COBOL programs actually tend to be [b]larger[/b] than the assembly they compile to - how many of those supposed 2x10^11 LOC consist of PROCEDURE DIVISION or WORKING-STORAGE SECTION?[/QUOTE]
I don't know where Wingie got the 80% number - 80% of the world's transactions going through COBOL code would be totally unsurprising though. Hundreds of billions of lines of COBOL is quite a common number, however - [URL="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9004821/Cobol_The_New_Latin"]http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9004821/Cobol_The_New_Latin[/URL] says 180bn and growing, for instance. Core banking systems are almost always z/COBOL/CICS/IMS, and IBM claims 95% of the Fortune 1000 run IMS (which is z-only, and almost always used in conjunction with COBOL.)
Well, the Pi is running Tron Legacy at 720p right now, no stuttering at all.
I have a massive hard-on for hardware decoding right now.

About the 80% thing, pretty sure I got that confused with a different stat, Gartner Group reported that 80% of the world's business ran on COBOL.

Find a trailer in 1080, x264, mkv. I wanna see how it fares.

Can you please test if a 1080p movie plays?
I don't see why you're so reluctant to accept it, it's common sense to go with those numbers, give any other language as the main language on most mainframes, and 50 years it will be the same size. It's just built up from time. No one is exactly moving to COBOL, it's not the best language (That doesn't exist) Give it another 10 years at least and surely something will catch up to it. Probably C, maybe not.
Just accept it's big and move on.

I'll try to run Sintel in 1080p, but I'm compiling Quake 3 right now so that can wait a bit.
I wanna know what framerate you get. I heard it gets about 30fps at 1080p.
Contemplating about bugging Hexxeh on Steam until he poops out a working ChromiumOS build like he said he would do.

I'm not arguing that it's not used anywhere, I'm arguing that it's completely the wrong choice to develop in today. Particularly for a web-services-based educational system designed to run in The Cloud[tm], and double particularly when we've already spent a dozen weeks writing it in PHP.

Yes, I agree with you. I've said it about 3 times now, no one is moving to it.
Except COBOLScript. PHP Still sucks.
Bad workers always blame their tools.

Give me one reason why COBOLScript is a better language (without talking about COBOL).

WELL IT FUCKING WORKED
Sintel in 1080p runs fine, but the rendered film is 24fps.
Anyone know any 1080p mkv x264 videos at something like 30 or 60fps?
And Sintel's 1080p is 1920x818, not 1920x1080
Why would you want it to run at that framerate
I've been restricted for a few days now.

PHP really does suck though, its convoluted and encourages horrible practices if its your first language.
Quake 3 runs nice, but bots absolutely kill your FPS due to CPU usage.

[QUOTE=Ehmmett;36126814]D3 doesn't require a whole lot of specs to play, right?[/QUOTE]
It's not too CPU intensive, you could probably play it on a Dual core Atom. I'd say minimum GPU you could scrape away with would be an 8600 GT.
it runs pretty well if you turn low fx on
best way is to just test it though
Depends.
I have one of those on my laptop, it can hardly pull off Half-Life 2 at native resolution, but I hear the newer ones are better, though.
