Simplest solution I see is for Google to include the Gnash player on Android and ensure that YouTube works with it. If that means pushing code back to the project, then great. The best part is you'd have a fully working YouTube that uses an Open Source player on all Android devices
Note that I'd seen this graphic last week (don't recall if Eweek or other). I hate to say it but it's really bad when Adobe is actually responding to the issue by fixing their software unlike Apple. My understanding is that followin an ASLR design standard does not prevent software from using known address spaces. All it does is ensure that the software does not break when thrown into a mandatory ASLR environment.
So, this is not new, and the only reason people are noticing it is that you are being served up the exact same ad on different websites, for a website you only visited once.
Which is exactly why I've always rejected cookies from third parties along with have had Firefox/IE/Chrome set to ask before setting cookies and use a local proxy server for Cookie control that's set to reject all cookies except those I've white-listed. Even then I still get asked to accept the occaisional cookie, that results in me adding another site to my hosts file.
I've been fighting Adverts and the waste of bandwidth since my days with a 14.4kbps dial-up modem and it's proven to be a never-ending battle. Thank God for Noscript as it makes things much easier.
Your Calculations are assuming that Light is traveling in a Zero/micro Gravity Environment, which is flat out wrong. As with the Speed of sound where the lower in the atmosphere, the deeper into a gravity well you go, the slower the speed of light. This means that at a constant of 1G, "c" is 200,000 Kps (accepted approx.). This was proven (acceptedly) by the recent Empire State Building experiments with a pair of Cesium Clocks citation needed where a difference was noted between the two clocks, thus proving Einsteins Theory of Relativity in regards to increased mass affecting Time (Event Horizon) dialation.
It's absolutely incorrect for any app other then Encryption/AV to have raw disk access under windows. Any app that does have raw disk access that shouldn't, has the posibility of fragging the OS itself (Virus/Malware) and MS should nail their asses to the ground and prevent them from doing it anymore.
To my thinking, the OS is supposed to provide access to all of the hardware and nothing should be able to access things in the Raw without being heavilly vetted by the OS itself. Otherwise, your asking for trouble as we're seeing from Adobe and other products.
Yep it's a No brainer because of what's known as "Brand Awareness". That's what Lucasfilms is protecting and it's what Xerox Lost in the Early-mid 70's in regards to photocopiers. In that case, it was "Trademark Dilution" that Xerox Suffered because xerox become the common usage term meaning to photocopy something. Once that happened, they lost the "Brand Awareness" aspect of the Trademark that they'd had on Xerox.
In this case, LucasFilm's is pursuing the only legal avenue to prevent "Trademark Dilution", which is to sue any and everyone who violates the damn thing, even in casual usage. Otherwise, it begins eroding the "Brand Awareness" aspect of their Trademarks, which is the beginning of "Dilution".
Screw using TIA as it's still not an acceptable solution. What we need to do is use system based on Galactic Dates. This would provide us with a very long stable time line and allow for our expansion into the usniverse and to get everyone using it, all we'd have to do is call it StarDate 00:00:00
Okay, we'll take all of our toys home and throw everyone out of our yard by closing our ports, markets and borders. Cutting off all foreign aid to you including all of our charitible contributions (red cross and such), kick the U.N out and pull all of our troops home. BTW where's the money still owed by France, Belgium, Poland, Germany and the rest of Europe for repayment of all those Reconstruction Loans after WWII? So we sieze all assets in the States to repay the loans that haven't been paid off. Oh Yea! I forgot, there's trillions of dollars still out standing in debt we loaned through the World Bank so we'll seize all of those funds too.
In the event of a natuaral disaster, don't bother asking us for help because we're not playing anymore and you'd better start brushing up on your Mandarin because you'll need it in 3 to 5 years once the Chinese Army finishes taking all of Europe because we aren't there to play.
What do you mean America isn't going to help? We threw them out and told them to go away? When did we do that?
That's what you're demanding. Hell I'd love to see us pull all of our troops home, close all the bases overseas, keep all that foreign aid in country and start to clean up our own messes while telling everyone else to go home, we're not playing your game anymore.
is to use CVS (comma/tab seperated value) files to store the data. This makes it easy to import into a spreadsheet or database in the future as your needs grow.
Of course, the above is only true if all the javascript on the page follows best practices. That is seldom true if the page includes javascript from ad networks which has the bad habit of running document.write calls during the loading of the page. Since document.write can modify anything on the page, when such a function call is executed, the browser has to stop everything else until the javascript is run and then continue rendering. In that scenario, faster javascript execution would definitely lead to much faster page loads.
And that's exactly why I use NoScript and white list only those pages that need JavaScript working. IMO the damn advertisers are the worst ofenders for using jscript wrong and I figure they can eff off and die because I've got no interest in supporting their business model.
iPod: Reduce the buttons, polish the interface. Integrate seamlessly with iTunes. Made a user experience that was superior to anything else out there. Push for reasonable prices on content. Fought for and eventually won DRM free content with the publishers.
That's not Inovation, that's simple refinement. There is absolutely nothing Inovative about any Apple Products. Even the ][e wasn't inovative. It simply used existing tech in an interesting manner.
I'm sorry to say it but Apple does very little inovating of hardware. Where they tend to be very effective is seeing what the user wants and giving it to them.
Sorry but it's called the "Police Blotter" that many newspapers used to run where they reported the names of those arrested by the Police. All that's happened here is that the department has taken it upon themselves to publish a bad photo of those arrested for a specific crime.
The highest priority of any business should be dealing ethically with everyone. Otherwise, if Profit is their highest principal, then RIAA is performing exactly as they should and we have no reason to scream at them for taking any and everyone to court for piracy.
So Sorry Pojut but we didn't sell you anything but the sizzle. There wasn't any product nor will there ever be any product (vaporware/duke nukem forever) is the results of that kind of thinking. It also results in dangerous products such as the Ford Pinto Hatchback that exploded if hit in the rear. Ford was actually caught with hands in the cookie jar for failing to spend the $10-20 dollars to fix the problem on the line because it was cheaper to pay out the few lawsuits. That's the kind of corporate thinking you're pushing.
Hell it sounds just like the Corporate thinking in the damn Star Wars Prequells.
and you've forgoten the 2nd half of that 3rd group. Those of us who find Windows unstable enough that someone's buggy DRM just causes more problems and we've decided to forget about buying anything new because of the headaches they cause. The worst of it is, I'm in that 2nd half/3rd group because I've given up trying new software for just that reason. Sorry EA/Blizzard/Adobe/Corel and others. You lost me entirely as a customer when your damn DRM borked my system so I couldn't even use my burner.
What I feel would work is make it a mandantory 2 year sentence at Leavenworth Federal Prison - Low Security the first time around. Give em hard labor and personally fine them. Increase the penalty to 5 years in the medium security section and if they're found guilty a thrid time, life in maximum security with the real dangerous criminals. Furthermore, place them in with the general population instead of the damn country club. Also in regards to the 2nd and 3rd offenses, you punish their families too. They have to prove that the house was bought with Mom's Money instead of Daddies and may be what it takes to get them thinking before they commit such crimes.
I deliberately used the Goates image for my profile. Anyone searching for it deserves to be horribly scarred for the rest of their life as I don't use facebook
The biggest issue with Guns is a lack of Willingness to Kill. I'm of the School that firmly believes that if I pull the gun, some one is going to die because If I shoot, I shoot To Kill. The alternative is to never pull the gun. For those looking at something that's going to be a deterent, get yourself a Paintball gun. These hurt like hell at close range and mark the Perp for Pickup by the police.
Another option is to get the Escima tactical batons - these are simply a set of nested spring tubes with a weight on one end and a handle on the other. Very useful and they don't take up much space but work great as a deterent for anyone not on Drugs of Drunk out of their skull. The final option I'd suggest is a tactical pepper spray. Depends on your locale though as to what you can get. Some are more effective then others - depends on amount of Caspian and if CS is combined as some do.
Piss on them. I don't use an adblocker, I place em in my hosts file from my proxy server app called Cookie Cop. If they try to set a cookie and I don't need em, then I look into what site was trying to do that. If it's an advert or other garbage like intelitext, I block em permanently because I have no use for the idjits.
So far, my research shows an average of $1 per gigabyte or less for internally hosted space. What do ou pay?"
That's the last two lines of the summary, which leads me to believe he's talking local server storage, not backup or external storage nor is he talking drive cost per gig.
One thing I can see pushing the cost per gig that high is a SAN but as he doesn't tell us what the department provides (is it a data wharehouse? Fortune 100 company?) all of that information is missing. Sorry Pal, you need to file a better bug report and ask smarter questions by including information that's required to give you any kind of explanation.
and it's for this reason that the CEO and FIO along with the CPA and Auditing teams should all do 3 years at Levenworth in the minimum security section. If the feds were to do this, maybe some of these damn CEO's and corps would think twice about doing the crimes again because now they are personally going to pay instead of it simply being a cost of doing business and coming out of petty cash.

From what I recently read in regards to DEP/ASLR testing, the Apple Devs are simply being effen lazy or stupid as quicktime doesn't even use ASLR according to the graphic on this page http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2010/07/secunia-survey-of-dep-and-aslr. html

Use those heat producing/retaining Roof Tops for power generation? Combine wind/solar how much would then be available?
