True, that is what convicted him. However, entering ones house without their permission and/or leaving things there is illegal, using their open WAP is not.
scratch that, the virtualization tech is just the term for using the two at the same time apparently.
But I still stand by my statement that AMD by owning the patents for x86_64 will still help since Intel is licensed to use their architecture.
The Celeron is not a 64 bit processor, nor is the core 2 duo, etc. They have Intel64 virtualization, but are not true 64 bit CPUs. I was a kid in Xmas 95 when we got our first pentium 1, so thats my frame of reference as to when the switch occured, and I remember everyone else getting computers like mine around that time as well. The next jump will probably not occur for a while. There is an article out there somewhere (I think it was on here a few months ago) on why Linux will have an advantage when this jump occurs because they are ahead on using the 64bit ISA. (although that is a separate issue) It made a lot of good points about how 64 bit could sneak up on us and we need to stop avoiding it.
In a few years when everyone starts hitting the RAM ceiling for 32 bit CPUs, 64 bit will have to take off. Right now AMD has the lead on consumer priced 64 bit processors, as well as the patent on the x86_64 architecture which they have licensed to Intel. It is entirely possible that with the next mass jump (like to Pentiums 12 years ago) that a completely new architecture altogether will take over, although people love their legacy apps so much that x86_64 still has a good shot at it. But as we have seen with Apple and the PPC to Intel switch, Rosetta demonstrates that we have the technology to create good utilities to seamlessly run code for different architectures. We can't just add cores to x86_32 forever, we will need the RAM. Also, power consumption will come to bite us since (in theory) a 32 bit CPU is not as efficient as a 64 bit CPU, assuming the program code is truly optimized in 64 bit.
I'm going to see how Feisty Fawn is and then probably switch to Debian if I'm not satisfied. Ubuntu has been great since I started using it last year, but this whole sound thing in 6.1 is such a horrendous oversight that it makes Canonical look downright apathetic.
Sometimes I wish Linux developers would drop the whole "new release every X months" model and start putting more effort into the individual versions.
Case in point? Edgy Eft and sound. Lots of people are having a really hard time getting Creative sound cards to work, and the main solution requires compiling your own drivers (which is acceptable in Linux but not if it is to be mainstream) and possilby reinstalling Gnome or KDE. I know it isn't the developers responsibility to write drivers, but why is it ok for them to overlook the most common sound card brand, especially when it worked flawlessly in 6.06? Maybe if they weren't working on 45 future versions of their product at once they could get things to work properly for Gods sake.
This is referring to student research outside of the classroom, which the majority of students do not participate in, it has nothing to do with term papers and all that plagiarism debate going on/. lately.
The idea here is not so much "IP" in the traditional sense, but rather to stop students who are research assistants from being screwed over by some professor who wants sole credit on a publication. I have work getting published, and while I (and most anyone who does academic research) do not want people to have to pay to cite us or just read our work, you can bet your ass we want our names in there though. If anything, this is showing students how to basically open source their work and not let other people take credit for it. I have the good fortune of dealing with profs who will give students primary authorship if the kid did more work than they did, so this thing isn't much of an issue to me personally.
This is not teaching students to commercialize their research, in fact that goes against the very nature of scientific research and intellectual advancement.
Hah! And how many students on any given campus know what a port is, what TCP/IP is, what ssh is, etc? Very, very few. I work for a campus IT department (as a student) and as annoying as port blocking is, its pretty damn effective. Yes, I know people who change the ports around or in one case have an FTP server that torrents from home, but the bulk of the students just deal with it and hit up iTunes or wait until they are home.
Yeah, and if you go to nin.com or check their RSS feed you can listen to the whole album there. I'm a huge NIN fan and I'm kind of disappointed, but that is beside the point. How is going online and listening to them there any different from downloading them when the album isn't actually out yet?
Makes no sense to me.
When oh when are people going to understand that OS X upgrades are NOT a point release!? Keeping it as "OS X" instead of moving on to XI makes sense on a number of levels...X is a nice round number, and the X gives it the whole Unix connection.
You download the point releases as a part of system upgrades...hence the 10.y.z thing.
I found that I survived quite well on this system as a military brat while I was in elementary school. When you get to middle and high school it gets to be a pain though, both socially and academically. Especially when moving from district to district. My little brother got an A in 8th grade algebra in Las Vegas, and then when we moved back to northern VA (some of the toughest public schools in US) he failed the state test for highschool algebra. My brother is a pretty smart kid, he is applying to the air force academy now and did pretty well on the SATs, thank god we moved before he started high school and not during it, otherwise he would have a very screwed up transcript.
My experience working in public schools has been a mixed bag, I've seen some excellent teachers that bend over backwards to do what they think is right and not just cater to the system, and others who were complete tools. At my college we have a Masters in teaching program, and a lot of the psych majors are in this program to later teach elementary school students, (the psych dept hates this and wants proper students who want to do research and such) and I think to myself "God, if any of these kids end up teaching my kids, I'd yank em!"
They are not raised from birth, they are recruited from numerous types of worlds to include feral, medieval, or more modern hive worlds or even ones such as Ultramar which are modern but not particularly hard to grow up in like a hive world. You would still have to start as a scout at an early level in order to become a marine is more what I meant.
I hope the game comes off like the sub game inquisitor, where you play more as individualistic characters (Inquisitors, Assassins, Rogue Traders, Eldar Rangers etc) rather than just being a soldier or space marine.
I get the feeling that if they put the option to be a space marine out there everyone will do it and it will be over saturated just like the table top game. On the other hand, if they don't they will be missing out on a huge part of the market for that game.
Perhaps they should consider doing what the Star Wars MMO did with Jedi. You can't start as one, but instead have to get an offer for training and earn it somehow. But then again being a space marine wouldn't be a great deal of fun in an RPG (shoot, shoot, shoot some more) so perhaps they could stick to the specialist chapters like the Grey Knights and Deathwatch who actually have abilities/powers to keep them interesting.
And how many Su-27s with this technology are up and active and where are they flying? Making an argument about the superiority of Russian fighters is bunk since the good stuff they have is in such limited numbers,rarely is flown (lack of maintainence and fuel). The typical Russian pilot about to retire has the same number of hours as a USAF pilot who has been flying for about 5-7 years because of this.
The Russians may be making some impressive technology, but under your argument they wouldn't have time to react to that extent anyway.
The harrier is not a fighter, it is for ground attack. It did kick some ass during the falklands conflict, but that was because of the American missles it was firing.
As the son of a fighter pilot, I know F22, F15, F16 pilots etc. They have all told me that the F22 is next to invincible, and that in many exercises it would maintain an X to zero kill ratio, where X is the amount of other planes it shot down. You can't kill what you can't see. The capabilities and technology in that aircraft haven't been fully tapped, and/. speculation doesn't scratch the surface of the strenghts/weaknesses of that plane.
I have an intense respect for anyone in today's world who understands, not just says, but understands that money cannot get you everything you want, and that you should do what it takes to live a fulfilling life. What good is all that money if you don't have the time to really appreciate it?

I was under the impression AMD had licensed the AMD64 architecture to Intel.

Very funny! Why is it always that I see good stuff when I don't have mod points and there are days of drivel when I do?!

Someone give this guy some mod points, he just nailed the point I was basically trying to make earlier.

Speaking of broken rules, I can't wait for it to be ok to end a sentence with a preposition. The language community needs to get over it. Seriously.
