I would gladly clarify this for you, but the link provided in TFA, is a big mess, and I have no clue what belongs to what. There are some interesting concepts on the pictures though. But really, I didn't understand, they even have some pictures of their tablet T91 I think.
I have mixed feelings here. Since black boxes are a reality in every car, for the sake of privacy, I rather have one the it's not that much open to anyone
In fact, part of the reason I like Xubuntu, is a sober more blueish theme. The moment they release XNR (Xubuntu Netbook Remix), I will probably stay on this side. So far, Ubuntu is in only one of my computers (laptop) becuase I find it nice, and I don't want to run into the hassle of trying to install everything on Xubuntu to make it look alike.
You know, I'm somewhat old already from when I took classes about this. Now, how is it that a filesystem works and why is there different filesystems? This is an honest question, since I'd like to know how different filesystems manage to put data in a harddrive these days, and how would anyone would write a new one, if you're not able to tell the harddrive what to do? Are HDD drivers already "embedded" in the HDDs? What commands/data goes through a SATA or any other type of HDD connector? I kindly thank you for any reference you may point me to.
My bad, I should have put modify the aperture (probably exposure better suits here) after the image is taken. You are right in the sense that it may be used to make everything in focus, but you could also use it for focusing one particular thing. Thanks for pointing that out.
I talk about what I know and I work on. I am not in the military, and couldn't care less about such kind of applications. Of course there are tons of applications, including several of dimensionality reduction for faster intrusion detection mechanisms, but I find photography more appealing.
It works at the moment of acquiring the signal. Let's say for example that when you use Fourier you project your signal into the frequency domain using sinusoidals as orthogonal bases. In this case, you project into another domain using random orthogonal projections.
Thus, "compressing" signals requires of a knowledge of the sparsity of the signal acquired, that helps to design those "random" bases. Using those random bases to acquire the signal ensure that it will be recoverable.
In fact, it's expected to be used to increase the aperture of cameras. The advantage of this, is that using random patterns you could be able to determine the kernel of the convolving pattern in the picture, therefore, you would be able to re-focus the image after it was taken. In regular photography that kernel is normally Gaussian and very hard to de-blur. But using certain patterns when taking the picture (probably implemented as micro-mirrors), you could, easily do this in post processing.
My iPhone, has survived several drop calls, particularly when I left my girlfriend ends up talking to her self. This my be good for me sometimes, but she normally never blames the phone, but me.
I don't know if I'm going to be safe next time I leave my gf talking to herself, but the iPhone has remained unpunished.
Particularly, because since the smartphones, all data in the phone is periodically synchronized with your computer when you plug in the device. So if "this guy's life" was his data (not the phone), it was probably in his computer all the time.
In more devastating news, they will find that predictability increases with your "nerd" status. Most likely they will find I'm in front of a computer... at my parent's basement... 90% of the time (sort of like being in a desk drawer, but with the fun of the Internet)
Like I need some research study to remind me of my sedentary life.
Imagine that. If you study someone's daily routine you can "predict" where they will go. Call me shocked.
Hey Shocked!
Oh.. research... Spending so much time predicting where people is going, when you can just check on-line
What worries me the most is knowing that they DO keep track of the people. I don't care if they are able to predict where I'm going, I may change that. But they studying my patterns seems scary.
Well, its not like you can't put pr0n on your iPod touch, iPhone or even the iPad when you get it!!
Just put your still photos on the phone via iTunes....or rip your pr0n dvd's with Handbrake..and put them on the device via iTunes. YOu don't have to use the app store for ALL your content.
What about motivation? People tend to write more lines of code if they are motivated. I've written most of my lines of code driven by motivation of their usefulness rather than my age.
Although, at my age, I rather write more lines of code that do stuff for me quicker. Maybe I've become lazy AND old.
I don't know why you were modded funny. If Apple patented ad-based OS and ad-based phones, why Google cannot patent mechanisms to block people from accessing data. If some believed that Apple patented that, to discourage its use, why Google wouldn't do the same.
So, with the current growth of people trying to make money out of advertisement, then Apple came with its patents. With the explosion of people making money with locked devices, why not profit out of it?
You get n% cut from reseller A. But customers don't think is a fair rate, so they look for a way of getting them for free. You lose lots of revenue.
You add reseller B and you get some part of the cut (not all). But people may be able to get it at fair price. You can drop DRM technologies (and royalties you should be paying for them) and you can also drop 1/2 of your litigation group in charge of making people lives miserable. So you may evan have more return.
Go figure, maybe there may be another type of math. But then again, we all need the technology and a bunch of lawyers to screw our potential customers, don't we?
Microsoft Says Windows 7 Not Killing Batteries
My guess is that batteries are killing themselves as soon as they know they are powering a Windows machine. They have become quite intelligent now.
I start using it, because you were able to run a search of the files used by processes. Particularly, when you're trying to move or delete a file and Windows complains that "something is using the file". Since then, it's a must have on any Windows machine I use.

If they have no video games they'll go outside and play ... and then
the can be mugged, robbed, kidnapped or killed, or any combination, and "voila".

I've done it in my automatic car. I use it sometimes for "engine breaking"

You people think in such limited terms.

just requires something like:
pickabrowser() {
if (rand()>0.05) {
use IE
} else {
pickabrowser()
}
}
Nobody said anything about bias.

Next: Internet is considered witchcraft, and all of those in contact with it will need to be burned into ashes!
What year is it again?

Translation software is difficult to absorb even a simple sentence. What is a mobile phone?
I enjoy going back and forth between languages. Go to Arabic, Korean, Chinese or sometimes Spanish and back, to realize it still needs some work.
