Well at least some one else got 2+2=4 out of this and in this case, Google is getting the better deal due to the cross licensing of the patents. The big question I have, is how many of the patents does Lenevo get with Google having the right to use them?
Hashes are useless for source code as they don't tell you if the code is virgin or not. The only secure method is to use GPG signatures on the source code (apt-get/rpm/emerge) can all check them if configured. In the FLOSS world, you also have distro repositories that are generally trusted as they're controlled by the distro itself and packages are signed with the distro key. Much better then a binary hash.
ICTFY - the client connects to an FTP server either on the standard port (21) or a specified port to initiate the connection. The Standard data connection to any FTP server is (23) that's used to communicate with the server in either mode (passive/active)
An error is the ports about 32768 as it's anything abover 1024 that's fair game with the ephemral ports being above 49151- the registered ports http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...
Basically, anything above 1024 is classified as the High Range as they're available to a User and not restricted to Administrator/Root privlaged software and I've seen my client (Filezilla no less) use any range of ports above 1024 depending on the server config. Most that allow public/anonomous connections restrict those connections to 32768 and higher for logging purposes. Anyone attempting to connect to a low level port is blocked and logged (FTP.Microsoft.COM) is a good example. Lots of stuff to download there if you need windows patches and such for older versions along with other goodies.
nah, it needs one additional feature, that of absolute loyalty to the owner/master and to be available in multiple canine breed chasis with full anatomical correctness, then we'd be talking. Don't foget the hidden blaster in the muzzle for hunting those damn rebels.
the first family computer we had was a Tandy 1000 with deskmate. Nice interface, included some very useful tools and it predated WFW 3.11 while working far better. Now if I could only find my Tandy Dos (might even run on newer hardware). I've got a couple of old systems that may allow me to recover some of the files - had a music notation app included that we'd used to create a tune with. Want to recover that so I can at least print it out.
Next system was a Pentim 75 and it ran WFW3 until a power surge blew a chunk from the Southbridge. Ended up with an Acer running Win95 that was one hell of an improvement over WFW3.11 and it eventually saw Win98 upgrade. Many folks bitch about WinME but if you didn't upgrade the OEM hardware, it actually worked quite well (still have several systems that run it).
then you forgot that they're probably using some exotic ceramics in the cylinders and pistons to cut the weight down - they've gotten quite inventive there and some of those ceramics will take more of a beating then any steel could and guess what, they don't have to be that thick 0.005 inch at the most. Some of them can even be sprayed onto the parts or use vapor deposition techniques - it's how most turbos handle the temps they're subjected to. The ceramics are making inroads into the aviation industry for jet turbines as they can handle higher temps resulting in higher power out.
and this is still too fucking small. I used to drive a truck with 1500hp under the hood and changed the oil ever 30k miles (normal was 15k, we were on extended change intervals). Aveaged 120k miles per year in that truck, some of the teams managed 180k miles a year with engines lasting 1M+ before major rebuilds. Course, if you got in my way, I'd simply run your little 4 wheel pickup over and keep going (Mack/Peterbuilt/Kenworth/Western Star/Freightliner) and 80,000 pounds.
if this had happened in Texas, the defense "He needed to be shot" is actually a reasonable defense to the charges this shooter will face. In fact, he may only be charged with publicly discharging a firearm then.
As someone else pointed out - "An armed society is a polite one", another benefit of an Armed Society is the inability of the Government to get away with the crap they do today as "We The People" have the fucking final say, not the god damn one percenters and shits currently buying our government.
One thing I'd love to see reinstated is Dueling with a dueling field and proper judges. Put your fucking life where your mouth is instead of proving your a blathering idiot.
Then you damn well better develop Warp Drive and some sort of weapons as I'm an imigrant from Off World and no, my homeworld isn't "Over the rainbow" it's in the Gamma Quadrant.
you've never tried opening an.xlsx file from 2014 in 2007 or earlier have you? The formatting, colors, margins and everything else is fucked up if you can even open the file. I get Word and Excel files from folks who're using the latest greatest from MS and many times they're fucked up as I'm only using 2007 and am not going out and upgrade for no good reason. Hell I'm moving all of my older files to RTF as it's the only one other then PDF that I can ensure is cross platform.
The only time V-Sync needs to be used is for an SVGA (analog) connection. Otherwise it slows down the redraw of a Digital Connection such as DVI/Display Port/HDMI. So anyone with one of those connections to their display using V-Sync is an idiot/noob that needs to be gutted.
I've been on a DVI connection for over 3 years and disabled v-sync as soon as I moved. Never seen any tearing even when the game drops below 20FPS (I've seen as bad as 5FPS) but I know my card is obsolete (Radeon 5670 w/512).
I've been impressed with Fluxbox both the Dev (Yes single dev) and the stability. Sure it's not a full blown destop environment like KDE/Gnome but you know what? I don't need a full bloated DE either. What I want/need is the god damn window manager to get out of my way while offering multiple desktops so I can configure my work flow as needed on each one and fluxbox does all of this for me.
Very few flaws and when I actually reported a bug to the dev, pretty quick turn around on figuring out what the cause was. My end - not his. Mailing list is actually responsive also so the community works well for it.
What I would have loved the KDE devs do is update the 3x line to use QT4 and later while fixing many of the bugs instead, they hurried off creating a god damn clone of Vista with all sorts of extra eye-candy that people simple didn't find useful. Yes the new plasma system is useful for portables and such but they screwed up Kmail, Amarok and a whole bunch of other apps that actually worked pretty well and then added Akondi and the fucking desktop search plus the stinking Database setup for email/contacts and what not. How much did MS pay them to duplicate the fucking features of lookout express/Live Mail? Stupid ghets, someone needs 2million years using WinMe for that.
Buck a Fuck if you think the AMD driver is shit on Windows - it's all the Ducky Poo Catalyst Control Center that quacks like a moose. I never install anything more then the Radeon Driver from Windows update as it doesn't add the moosely Catalyst Control Center to the system and the latest version depends on dotnet 4 just to work on a windows box.
From a user standpoint, I've found that the Open Driver works well enough for me to get shit done and even game a bit under Wine - framerates can and do drop below 20 at times but hell that happens even in Windows on my card (Ancient Radeon 5670 w/512).
Then you want a Haswell chip with the HD4600 - any of the i5/7/E3 xeon's will do as the performance is much better then the HD4000. The only caveat to using a new Intel CPU is 8GB of memory is the minimum needed to really get any advantage from them. Otherwise stick with what you have
screwed up and hit submit instead of continue editing - idiot design
The 4GB - 8GB memory split is unneeded since it's an artificial break point as the +$300 difference between the 128 to 256 model shows. That's about what a 256GB SSD costs through Newegg right now. So why in hell limit the memory? You want to limit the things? Go with a lower CPU such as a Dual Core i3. Enough performance to be useful while offering a valid reason to upgrade to the more expensive model.
Hell corporate purchases would snap up the i3 at the same price point as long as it actually had enough ram to be useful and 8GB is the sweet spot for Windows right now.
Why a docking port instead of USB 3? Units are fast enough to be a desktop replacement if you had a docking station. I'd buy one since I have a full 1080 display to hook up to along with keyboard/mouse/printer/wired network. Corporations would look at this with Pro on them and some of them may just be willing to jump this way. Saves lots of money on battery backups and iff the fucking power goes out, well they're employees can still work on the small screen.
Give em a standard HDMI port so they can easily connect the blasted tablet to the Display in the Conference room for those all important Power Point Slide Shows.
Go with a standard SD card slot instead of the fucking micro-sd slot. I've got enough trouble dealing with standard SD cards in my camera and the only Micro-SD I have to deal with is so small I'm afraid my dog will swallow the damn thing if I drop it on the floor. Human Factor idiots. Not all of us have the small hands of a child so a standard SD slot makes far more sense.
Looking at the hardware specs of the Surface Pro 2, I've actually considered it as a viable replacement for my desktop since I can use a keyboard/mouse and connect it to a full sized 1080 display. The only annoying issue is the limited RAM - 4GB if getting the 64/128GB drive and 8GB on the 256/512GB units. Now if they offered all of them with 8GB of memory, you'd have a decent unit even with a 64GB drive. Don't kid yourself that it's enough space as the OS alone uses half of that (32GB) which makes the micro-sd slot an imperative just to hold user files. Other then those issues, Win8.1 actually works pretty well (currently testing on my desktop) so having a dual mode system like this is useful to me just don't know when I'll buy one due to pricing.
I guess the earth effects of a 100Kt Nuke doesn't count then. How in hell do you think we detect underground testing other then through Seismic sensors?
Now Google can fight MS in regards to their claims of Patent Infringenment in Android and force them to prove it. If they fail, then MS is going to be out lots of money for the licenses they've charged for.
Nope - Walmart declares a trade war and hires mercenaries to take the president and congress hostage. Keep in mind that one quarter of all imports from China are by Walmart. That's a lot of chineese junk they're selling instead of the "Made in America" token effort they put out a few years back.
Just like IBM has authorized the sell of their x86 server business to Lenova (Chineese again) as they did with the Thinkpad division a few years back and for less then was offered for Snapchat that makes no product, has no income and no chance in a Super Nova of making a profit.
The modelling revealed that on any given Day in 2006, goods made in China for the U.S. market accounted for up to a quarter of the Sulphate smog over the Western U.S.
Emphasis added to is Mine so people can understand they're not talking about the entire year. Just one fucking day in that year.
The Hoover damn did have a bounty that continues to pay out called Electricity that's being sold.
The Empire State Building has a Bounty called Rent and it's still collecting.
The problem with both of these examples is that they're commercial projects, built for a Commercial Reason. Even the Golden Gate Bridge is a commercial project that's still collecting it's fucking bounty of Tolls every god damn day.
As to the Interstate Highway system, that was built for Military Troop Movements and Commerce, it wasn't built for every god damn yahoo that thinks they're a great driver to get out and play with the trucks. Yes I used to drive and averaged over 120,000 miles a year w/o an accident for a decade and the funniest thing is, those trucks everyone screams about pay their share of taxes between fuel and highway (miles driven) to every state they drive in.
So get back in your kenel runt and go back to school beforethe school of hard knocks gets you.
or you use a god damn secure wallet that generates passwords for you as I've been doing for the last decade. Works quite well and I only have to remember one password and unlike anyone using Firefox, for those sites where it's critical that I have a secure PW, I don't ever allow FF/IE/Opera/What ever to save the damn thing. This provides another level of protection in case the site has been pawned. For those where I allow the browser to retain the PW, I don't give a rats ass as they're damn near throwaway identies anyhow.

adding pain and suffering to the recording engineers job usually does not benefit the final product.
Depends on what you're after though doesn't it. Sometimes "Where there's a whip, there is a will" is the only way to get the recording correct.
