The important phrase wasn't "OpenGL 3." It was "Cross-platform."
If I declare a variable "i" as an integer in OpenGL 3 on a PC, I expect the exact same phrase I coded on the PC to parse identically on a Mac or Linux running OpenGL 3, just the same as I expect the code compiled to execute in an identical fashion.
Nice rant on graphics tech, though, even if totally off topic.
I know nothing of their 20Mb service, but I've had 4Mb. After downloading 1GB of data, my downstream was capped at 512kbps for the rest of that 24 hour period (note that if I finished my distro download at 23.59, that meant 1 minute of capped use).
Right now I'm with AAISP, who offer ADSL2 in my area. I have 100GB evening, 2GB daytime useage per month at whatever speed I can get on my connection, frequently over 8Mb. I work during the day, so this works out very well for me.
I ("only") minor in CS, but to my understanding, if you dev an application on a certain (cross plattform) api, it should easily be adapted to other plattforms.
Not harsh enough. If an application is developed on a cross-platform API, it should work without modification on every platform which has that particular API framework installed. If it doesn't, the API isn't cross-platform.
If id code a game engine which runs on OpenGL 3, it should run on OpenGL 3 in Linux, Windows, Mac, my SE mobiel phone... Any device which has "OpenGL 3 compatible" somewhere in its description. I shouldn't have to dick about with something to make it work if it says it runs the framework I've coded for.
You sign up with the people who aren't religious zealots, believing that life begins at conception and preventing the use of embrionic stem cells. You might believe that too, but I don't believe anyone with any religious affiliation or indoctrination belongs in Politics.
Creating stem cells from other tissues is possible, but adds extra costs. We all know how pharmaceutical companies love to throw money away, don't we...
Seriously, though, this is a lab test. Human trials are so far into the future your kids might benefit from it. After you're dead. Until then, all we can do is try and get logically and critically thinking politicians in positions to effect policy on the subject. If not, some Christian fool (not saying all Christians are fools; YMMV) will say "Wow, you want to do this to humans? Sorry, bub. God is the only one allowed that power." And the whole world returns to the Middle Ages (which is where we are now, really. Apart from drugs and better hygiene, all we have are butchers. Some are foot butchers, some are heart butchers, some are tooth butchers. They all still just cut the dead stuff away and sew replacements in their place.)
When 90% of the world only access the approved list (BBC, Google, iTunes etc), what the hell do they care? If it's only Linux distros you want, you're not the target market. Nobody cares what you, I, or Slashdot think.
"Law" shouldn't need to be backed by force. I'm not saying that any law which requires it is wrong, just that people need to self-regulate properly. "Acting to the detriment of society" takes many forms, but ultimately it encompasses all crimes. Speeding, fraud, child abuse, murder, theft... They all come down to depriving society of a resource or good in unjust circumstances.
That's fine. In the world of future law enforcement, there's no such thing as unfair dismissal, contracts, Union representation, or employment tribunals. The CEO can just say "You're fired!" and that's it.
Man, my freebooting ass sure does love beauracracy!
Hey, winkydink! Stop thinking so hard! Can't you just show the same level of blind and ignorant hatred as the rest of us? We wanted to have a rant about how corporate America was stripping away our freedoms, how we were losing our rights, and how the Gooberment was full of totalitarian assholes!
Now we'll have to kick some puppies to vent our frustrations. Thanks a lot, puppy hater.
I already knew that there was a link between consuming high quantities of fatty foods and prevalence of low intelligence, but I thought that was because the kind of lard-arsed troglodyte who shovels burgers, fries, and extra large pizzas down their excessively jowled chins do so in front of the television.
A little late to reply, but yes it does. You have the right to remain silent.
However, remaining silent can be interpreted openly; You could be silent because you don't know the answer, silent because you have the right to not self incriminate. Unfortunately, it's often the latter which is presumed.
That's not an encryption feature, that's an app feature. The application would have to recognise the "destruct" key and wipe the date; The encrypted file wouldn't recognise it automatically.
This is why the most fundamental aspect of forensic computing is "read-only."
I think you're approaching this from the wrong angle.
The issue is no longer whether you can prove their is nothing incriminating in the "ecrypted file" but whether the old memory you've had for 7 months is an encrypted file or not.
Further, TrueCrypt is well known. "Hey, do you have a second 'hidden' partition on this slightly incriminating but pretty inoccuous drive?" "No." "I don't believe you. Do not collect £200."
This is a very, very bad day for the British public.

Do you demand your road tax back when you end up in traffic on the motorway?
Woop woop! Car analogy!

I guess if I'd written "The net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it" I'd be modded +5 Insightful.
Yeah, same thing.

Not flamebait, just a realist.

No, he first had a bicycle helmet on, but then switched it for putting earmuffs on his bat.

If the names are stored in an encrypted database, we have them by the balls!
Oh, wait, this is the government. It's probably currently being mailed Second Class to a royal heir in Nigeria.
That went too. Remaining silent when they ask for your encryption keys is failing to provide the encryption keys.
Besides, we all know that the new system is heavily based on proving innocence. Innocent until speculated guilty, and all that.
