that... that is easy.... locate the center-point of each leg of the triangle with a compass, and plot a line perpendicular to it, locating the center of the triangle, then use the compass to plot the circle, beginning at any point of the triangle. takes like, 10 seconds.
His point is that the "question" is not in the form of a question, or even a set of directions. It is a fragment.
Please excuse my ignorance. but how is this illegal? companies do this all the time over the web. tracking where you log in from, how long you are one each page, and what sites you visit every time most people use the Internet. I think this practice is defiantly immoral, but give how constrictive contracts are I don't see how this is against the law. if you could point me towards some case law or a brief it would be much appreciated.
That's one thing... Freely accessing your address book, including full name, phone numbers, and address of everyone it, and complete access to your system logs and dialing history is something else all together.
I don't think it's automatically criminal though... Android DOES tell you that the phone can access this data at installation time, and you can choose not to install it. Bit it is walking an awfully fine line.
seriously, what do you expect from a free app that streams licensed music that they had to pay for? a bunch of ads no one clicks on?
this is how google makes money, metrics. everyone is doing it as well.
I expect it to act the same as the Free PC version on the Web. Advertising is fine. you DO NOT need access to my system logs, contact list, GPS position. Your website got along just fine without that data, so can your android app. I also expect that since I paid for a Pandora subscription on the PC that I should have access to an android version without advertising.
Actually, "simple" programs using the XNA Framework port across almost automatically. Especially if you use one of the compatibility profiles that limits what you can call to things all platforms have in common. In-fact, using the compatibility profile almost grantees that what you write will work on PC, Phone, and Xbox without changes.
For me, that "dated" feel of Doctor Who was what made it great. Though some of the very early black and white ones where a little too much for me, some of the B&W ones were great. I still enjoy the last few "modern" seasons, but the look and feel of the show has changed a lot from the classics for me, and I just don't enjoy them as much. The sets and effects are a little TOO perfect in the new ones, which really breaks my suspension of disbelief.
If you want fun, start with Tom Baker and go forward from there, but you will miss a lot of important back story and character development that happened early on.
Can someone explain something to me... how does anyone but Linus Torvalds have the standing to file an action or even complain about this? He owns the copyright, shouldn't he be the one that decides that something is in violation.
I know that FSF has brought actions in some rare cases, but isn't that on behalf of the real owner of the copyright?
Anyway.. it does seem like if FSF and Linus don't have a problem with what was done there is nothing to talk about. Am I oversimplifying this?
I thought the copyright of patches was still held by whoever submitted the patch? I seem to recall problems with changing the license on some programs because it was impossible to track down all the contributors. I guess the Linux kernel could be an exception with some statement like "by submitting this patch you agree to transfer copyright to Linus Torvalds".
That depends on the country from what I recall. Some allow statements of fact to be copyrightable (phone books for example). Though I think the rationale was that it requires serious "sweat of the brow" or somesuch, so header files probably wouldn't apply.
The Phone book it's self is copyrightable only if you include the layout, formatting, and other "non-fact" data. The mapping of names to number is not. I could copy the entire list of names and numbers and use it as a source for my own publication. But I can't copy it literally, including formatting, as a photo copier would do.
As far as the headers go, I think copying them directly might fall under copyright (for things like macros, comments, and formatting), but you could certainly run a program against them to extract only the interface and structure data from them without a problem.
Not if you donated to his legal fund. The legal fund donations only started AFTER Feb 1st. This time period only covers donations made during the time period is was actually working on the hacks.
RefControl is a nice firefox plugin that lets you set your referer on a per site basis. I'm guessing it's usage will spike after this. I've got my default option to always say I came from the domain of the current page. In the case of the NYTimes, It's going to always say I came from Twitter (Even though I never touch the place).
Richard Gross of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has determined that by changing the distribution of the Earth's mass, the earthquake that devastated Japan last Friday should have sped up the Earth's rotation
Damn... I don't know how I managed to misread that. Thanks for the correction.
If I go ice skating and start spinning, when I pull my arms in and spin faster i DID NOT change my mass, I redistributed it. I still weigh the exact same amount as did before the maneuver.
So you obviously understand how earthquakes increase the speed of the earth's rotation without changing its mass...
Yes... but again, it said that the earthquake changed the mass of the earth. That's what I'm asking about, how could it CHANGE the MASS. We are apparently talking about very different things.
I'm well aware of that, but that isn't what I'm talking about at all.
If I go ice skating and start spinning, when I pull my arms in and spin faster i DID NOT change my mass, I redistributed it. I still weigh the exact same amount as did before the maneuver.
Unless the earthquake managed to throw stuff in to space the mass of the planet did not change (not accounting for chemical changed caused by things burning, etc...)
How did an earthquake change the mass of the earth? I didn't think it was strong enough to eject debris in to space. Changing the density, shape, or distribution of mass of the earth I can understand, but as far as I know all the mass is still here.
Actually, there has been a history of this, some phones can indeed enter a listen and transmit mode even when switched off. Google it.
Removing the battery, of course, would mitigate that. No iPhones then...
Your definition of "Off" must be different. "Off" means that the device isn't functioning. If the phone is still operating in some way then it isn't truly turned off.
Physics says otherwise given the following points.
A power plant can only produce so much power. You can't use more power than is being produce. They are doing rolling blackouts because they can't produce enough power and need to distribute that power among the different areas.
All combined this means that less power will be used. for example, If it took 3 power plants to produce 100% power, and only 1 plant is running, then only 33% power is being produced. No matter how people redistribute their usage no more than 33% of the normal power can be used because it simply isn't being produced.
I'd think everyone would just use their portable devices during the outages and then recharge the devices once power is restored, effectively shifting the load to the on-grid period.
Think commercial and manufacturing uses, Refridgeration, Lighting, Heat, Servers, Electric Rail.

The point of this article is that DRM doesn't benefit the software provider either.
It does benefit the the company that supplies the DRM. Unless it was built in house.

It's ok, they make a pill for that too.
And one to fix its side effects also.

NICE!! Going to take this to the people in charge and see what happens. Thank you for the link!
I can even using this in my personal server stuff.
For the company I work for it's because Certs cost money, and self-signed certs are a pain for users.

Did that horrible sound at the end of the video come from the bike?
It's not like MS ran out of codes.
Tell that to someone who legitimately had one of these codes that couldn't redeem it because someone else used it.
