They are prohibiting neither. They are prohibiting GPLv3, not v2. The significant difference is that GPLv3 has the interesting patent "mutual assured destruction" clause which is in direct contradiction to a number Microsoft agreements with customers and policies. In fact they cannot legally redist v3 without changing the policy they take on IPR.
The more it moves towards the CPU the easier it will be to use it for other stuff.
A DRM chip in the video subsystem is useful only for media. A DRM integrated into a processor and chipset can be used for your own data, not just for the data of the media corps.
1968. Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia. 15 minutes before the special transports cross the border a group of men in civilian clothing enters each and every airport air traffic control station across the whole of Czechoslovakia. The controllers are left standing facing the wall with one knucklehead holding a gun to their heads. In the meantime the other "gentlemen" which come after the knucleheads sit down at the workstations and continue to guide all aircraft which are traversing the Czech and Slovakian airspace while bringing in special forces transports to land. Not a single pilot flying over Czechoslovakia notices. By the time anyone notices all airports are under control and heavy transports are landing every 2 minutes bringing in tanks and troops.
So if you think that your job is irreplaceable, that you cannot be moved aside and a guy from a suitable agency will not sit down in your place in a case of emergency - think again.
To be more exact the telcos are mandated to plan for that. In most countries. Including some of the ones which are erroneously referred to as free western democracies.
No. The kill switch is two boats dragging a plough on the sea floor. One in Alexandria bay, the other one in the Red sea. In fact the Alexandria bay should be enough.
It has happened unintentionally a few times. So if someone wants to do it intentionally it is not that difficult. The areas are clearly marked on maritime navigation maps.
It will also take out most of the Middle East and drop most of the capacity to India and Pakistan to a trickle as a side effect.
Not from a Flash drive and not from any of the next gen drives which will use overlapping recording combined with Flash cache.
A flash drive has significant excess capacity to ensure acceptable sustained writing speed. When you do a DOD erase it will allocate from that pool and your data will end up unmolested in the spare pool. Unless your OS supports trim or special manufacturer supplied tools that data may linger in the pool for a considerable amount of time. The fact that you are doing a wipe can be at your disadvantage here because the controller may decide to not use any of the pool until you stop abusing it with a sustained write.
So if you want to deal with it at DIY level you do not just need a DOD wipe. You need DOD wipe with scheduled pauses to give the controller time to breathe and wipe the blocks that have gone into the spare pool.
MeGo is not just phones. It is in-car entertainment and navigation, set top boxes, smart white goods, home automation and so on. There will be plenty of apps written for those markets. Even if there will be no phones it will live on.
Yep. As long as you can still print all env values it is not dead yet.
I made the mistake of not printing the values of a cheap and cheerful Chinese tablet before trying to smack a abrasive build on it. BAD mistake. Looks like it had a non-standard framebuffer offset so I will be guessing it till doomsday now...
Airframes, engines, etc all have liimited resource. A fighter jet flight hour costs several hundred thousands of dollars in maintenance and depreciation. An average tank needs a partial overhaul after less than 1000 km (which it can easily clock in no time) and a major overhaul after a few more thousands. And so on...
It is not the munitions shot or the equipment lost which is the major expense. It is just having it out there which is clocking the crazy money.
It is not a coverage test, it is not an antenna test. It is a "how dry is your skin" test.
In any case, it is not the first phone to use big bits of the casing as an antenna. A lot of Nokia E series use the battery cover as an antenna so if your hands are wet you can see similar drops as well.
And that is exactly what he does. He is fixing the real issues. With the economy.
It is the textbook economy boost anti-recession approach pioneered by FDR - build infrastructure. It is the hoover dam and the interstate highways of the 21st century.
I'd rather have that than Reagan's approach - invest into a raft of clinically insane military projects to the same effect.
As the Hello Dolly saying goes: Money is like manure, you have to spread it for new things to grow.
He is spreading the money and he should have done it straight away instead of pissing it about resurfacing roads which were freshly refurbished only 2 years ago.
Guess why Americans bulldozed their half-finished embassy in Moscow and rebuilt it from scratch with all-imported materials (even sand, brick and concrete) in the 80-es.
Why bother with a dragonfly if you can bake everything you need into a brick ya know...
The morals and the law code of western society is distinctly Christian till this day (with some medieval legal code thrown into the mix). A lot of dos and don'ts in Western culture originate from Christian religion and societies which have developed in a different religious context have a very different set of dos and don'ts. We may find some of their dos and don'ts abhorent, others disgusting. They do not. Similarly they do not understand some of our obsessions.
You forgot the regular bribe to the party official in charge of the facility so he does not sell access to your data to your competitor as well as bribes for everyone and everything under him for this same reason.
It is quite funny when people call China communist. It is capitalism taken to the ultimate limit where anything and everything is for sale with very few of the moral restrictions which the West has inherited from the 20 centuries of its "Sunday school" upbringing.
In any case, the perception that a group is democratic and there are no specific movers and shakers is flawed for any group.
Also, the perception of anonymity on the web is deeply flawed. There is a reason why the folks that build Cavium based gear are making good money ya know... However the evidence obtained that way is unusable for normal courts. None of these exists you know and no data goes to no such agencies and other abbreviations without an official budget.
So, a "small security firm" appears out of nowhere and presents key evidence.
Yeah, right and I am the tooth fairy.
Time to reread "Other Days, Other Eyes" I guess... The final bit... Where the inventor of slow glass was called to find an evidence for something where there was already evidence, just nobody wanted to confess where it came from...
Does not hibernate on PowerMAC - I need to refile this one, the bloody BTS bounced it Sound on powermac does not work Wifi on cheap RTL based adapters does not work Kernel throws kernel-level malloc failures on GigE if you get a fast enough card and no swap
Granted that is not as bad completely broken NFS which was the previous release, but still not where Debian used to be.
The suits were not quarter-serious.The business model was - threaten to sue, serve papers and move to withdraw if the defendant shows up.
Works a treat. If the defendant does not show up you in the English court system you win by default (that is not necessarily the case elsewhere). If the defendant shows up you withdraw the suit so you pay the nominal fee for filing, the fee for withdrawal and you turn a tidy profit.
That is a model which has been used for a long time by various other dubious outfits mostly operating various "collection" services on behalf of clampers, etc. It worked because it was done mostly in small claims court and with a different magistrate every time. There they do not even bother to withdraw. They just do not show up so you win by default. As it is a small claims court no single case creates a precedent so they can do it again and again.
ACS Law tried this for bigger money in proper court. Bad Move(TM). The judge provided them with a very unpleasant surprise by disallowing the withdrawal. If they lose they pay, possibly pay legal expenses for the other party and a precedent is created which blows the model out of the water. Their only retreat route here was to fold the company which is exactly what they did.
You may end up (at least in the UK) as listed on the prohibition list to form a company. In fact, that is pretty much a standard measure if the judge has decided that you have bent the law in any way to avoid your responsibilities. If the company cannot pay its liabilities (which will be the case here) it is a given that this measure will be used as a part of the bankruptcy proceedings.
So for starters this means that you will do this only once. After that you will be barred from forming a company for a few years.
That is not where it ends. A court decision barring you from being a director of a company will show up on any background search and results in an automatic drop of any job offer. So you can forget about getting a job if you ever do it.
Price of bandwidth is not linearly dependent on the amount of G transferred. Not even close.
And trust me, you would not really want to be charged according to anything close to the real formula. If you will, you will scream for the days when it was a simple quota + overspend. By the way, quota + overspend is a reasonably good approximation of the actual cost model.
This is because nobody told him that fiber lands in less than 10 points around Australia.
Not that it is any different in other places. There are not that many areas around the coast of a coastal nation which are geologically stable and have no fishermen. Most have to actually legislate them and and mark the relevant zones as no-anchor/no-fishing.

No, it is from a different cartoon.
The name of the company is not HBGary. It is HBGary Federal.
Nuff said. No further comment necessary.
The app developers are already convinced.
MeGo is not just phones. It is in-car entertainment and navigation, set top boxes, smart white goods, home automation and so on. There will be plenty of apps written for those markets. Even if there will be no phones it will live on.
You mean it ended.
I have 2 active nokia phones in the household, one as a reserve and one in the "last reserve" spare parts box.
They are not going to be hand-me downs. They are going into the recycle bin. No more Nokia pls.
Yep. As long as you can still print all env values it is not dead yet.
I made the mistake of not printing the values of a cheap and cheerful Chinese tablet before trying to smack a abrasive build on it. BAD mistake. Looks like it had a non-standard framebuffer offset so I will be guessing it till doomsday now...
Exactly. They have restated what they have more than once without a single exploration, find or any other justification to support the restatement.
You are missing the major expense.
Airframes, engines, etc all have liimited resource. A fighter jet flight hour costs several hundred thousands of dollars in maintenance and depreciation. An average tank needs a partial overhaul after less than 1000 km (which it can easily clock in no time) and a major overhaul after a few more thousands. And so on...

Why bother with a dragonfly if you can bake everything you need into a brick ya know...
And a lot of the parts can be even smaller if you strip the casing with a suitable solvent...
Do you like churchy people or not is irrelevant.

This is simply the way the world is.
Almost spot on.
You forgot the regular bribe to the party official in charge of the facility so he does not sell access to your data to your competitor as well as bribes for everyone and everything under him for this same reason.
It is quite funny when people call China communist. It is capitalism taken to the ultimate limit where anything and everything is for sale with very few of the moral restrictions which the West has inherited from the 20 centuries of its "Sunday school" upbringing.
Quite clearly you have never ever dealt with Russian ladies.
If you did you would have known the difference between drama and WW3.
More like his grandfather's UID if you ask me...
