Sorry for the long answer to a fairly obvious statement, but it's written, and it's going out:
True, but to me there is a difference between memorizing (learning verbatim/rote) and just remembering something useful. I haven't memorized the size of the known universe, I just remember it. I didn't memorize the size of bears, I just remember it - and when I go to use something I haven't recalled in a while I may notice that it is a little foggy. I can place bounds on the values and possibly remember specific values after dredging it from the depths of memory, but I can definitely recognize the need for a refresh.
Anyway, the more you have to look something up, the better you will remember it. If it's something that you need to use frequently, your recollection of it it will become more and more solid with every lookup - though if it is complex enough, you will likely notice that it is hard to remember, and keep the reference extremely handy.
kexec restarts the entire software stack while leaving hardware running.
From what I can tell, ksplice does not require a software restart or hardware restart. This isn't explicitly stated, but it is implied by the usage instructions: http://www.ksplice.com/uptrack/using
Utah is a CCW state. You would think that if he didn't have a permit, they would have thrown that charge at him as well. I guess the housing market is a lot scarier than I thought.
In Utah, CFPs are only required for concealed carry. Open carry requires no permit, though it must be at least two actions away from firing (ie. two trigger pulls or slide+trigger).
Oh, and Utah is the only state with a brady score of 0, something many people consider to be a good thing.
Here's a specific example: http://mapa.buenosaireslibre.org/ The site is all in spanish, but the map should help you understand the scope. Internet access is orthogonal to community wireless access.
I've been using my N800 for a while as a phone substitute (I don't recommend getting one for this btw, the battery life isn't great plus it's speakerphone only (bluetooth kind of works, but the cpu has more issues keeping up with doing both, esp. with skype - regular sip is better)), and my university does have a required web login - however, I installed devicescape which works great. I did have to save the login page and send it to them, but it was fast and painless.
I'm just saying - there are solutions to that particular issue.
It seems to me that in order for an established orbit to exist on the event horizon, the orbiting matter would have to be going at the speed of light. I would further presume that any matter orbiting within the event horizon would have to be/exceeding/ the speed of light.
To my knowledge, matter cannot travel at or beyond the speed of light.
I vaguely recall reading that the more writes flash has, the less likely it is to remember what is written to it over time - kind of like volatile storage, but with the length of time the data lasts being inversely related to the number of writes.
Given what I know about flash, I'm not quite sure how this could happen physically. I believe this was mentioned when I was looking into ssd caches for zfs, where this type of failure would be insignificant. It could be completely incorrect, too.
If it is correct, this sort of test alone will not be definitive. Instead, a batch of chips would have to be written to different levels, and then periodically verified.
Trying to re-assemble information after being passed through a lossy pipe is hard. I wouldn't want to tackle it - it has too many variables, and it would be too easy to detect and shut down.
Successfully solving these problems would be revolutionary - but also advanced enough that it could be considered magical.
If there were a yearly storage fee in the facility, it would definitely provide an incentive to let go of no longer profitable materials.
I am no economist, and I'm not sure that a rate could be set that would be high enough to deter hoarding of media, and yet be reasonable for independent artists.
Why don't they do flight simulations? They could practice flying a plane, while flying a plane!
I'm all for letting pilots practice emergency scenarios - or even routine scenarios. They might even re-route the regular flight controls to the simulator as long as switching back control is fast and clear.
This is equivalent to testing how well a machine can put parts onto a variable speed conveyor belt. It is industrially useful, but not particularly interesting.
TFA's claims that 'the competition in the video above would have been closer if the platform had moved faster, but then you’re really talking about machine vs. machine.'
We are already talking about a machine vs. a machine. Pitting a specialized machine against a more basic machine will generally have one outcome. As the response speed of the platform controlled by the wiimote is slower than that of the robot, the human will always lose. Winning under these constraints is impossible.
Agreed. I would not buy a lossy drive. I mean, where would the extra bits go?
Hmm... it would probably go to the same place as the freed bits from the ram. You know, when you free memory or power cycle your computer, the bits have to go somewhere. That's why my case ends up with crazy nasty hairs and dust.
I think the dust comes from the bus, and the hairs come from the ram, but I could be wrong.
- Oh, and sorry about the troll. I forgot to include some indication of humor.
Well, I guess it's useless if you just want a general statement of worth. If you actually care about details, then that's something else entirely.
That's kind of like describing the first good ssd articles as saying: don't buy ssds with jmicron controllers, buy ssds with indilinux or intel controllers. It is factually correct, but not particularly interesting.
I'd be interested in anyone who is successfully using/lossy/ compression in this sort of application.
Also, considering that it just reviews a completely different controller (which is interesting, no doubt about it), I might classify the article as 'different, but related' rather than 'better'.

Unfortunately, the summary cannot be trusted further than you can throw it.
Which is of course to say, not at all.

The first -and last- time I got music from amazon, I discovered that it used a special windows client.
The situation may have changed, but unless it has, amazon is not in the running.

This is both Open and Free, just not quite as free as Stallman would like.
CDDL licensed code can be freely distributed and modified, so long as it is compiled with a compatible license.
This is why BSD has no issues with including ZFS. The BSD license is less restrictive than the GPL.

That article is a should be a decent jumping point. Enjoy!

Thanks to your excellent information, I shall be /extra/ careful to not look at TFA.

I have buttons on my remote mapped to 'close current window' as well as 'start boxee', 'start xbmc' and 'start hulu desktop'.
Unfortunately the remote control mappings are not consistent between apps, but they /do/ work.
