Why? The basic principle is that a service provider is handling too much data to implement any sort of editorial review. It would be impractical to expect them to do so. If their motivation is to provide a service not explicitly meant to facilitate illegal activity then they shouldn't be held at fault for what they redistribute and link to.
And, it'd be insanely difficult to make sure that I downloaded it from exactly 50,000 unique peers.
A BT client could be customized to only receive data from a targeted IP in the swarm. Assuming that peer already has the full content you would be able to demonstrate their complicity in distribution.
Checks against a spreadsheet! What kind of Mickey Mouse organization is this anyway? Don't they know they could haul in 10x more pirates with a proper database backend. Maybe it helps the lawyers boost their billable hours if they can have an intern do as much manual work as possible.
Presumably this integration will allow multiple flash apps on a page all running in a single flash process. This could have dramatic performance benefits in page loads and memory utilization.
Mammals with external gonads are a major design flaw too. He only got it right with the cetaceans and a few others. Must have been enumerating the narcotics on that day and sampling his work.
They don't have to support an open source driver. If they would just publish specs the community could take care of implementing them. This used to be the norm before VESA came along and created a common API and then the market fractured again with 3D.
Why is it so important to have these advanced drivers in the kernel anyway? A framebuffer console only needs 2D and that can be handled with proper VESA support. If something more powerful is needed the kernel should provide hooks to allow userland to switch to another driver or load in a module if that is too much of a performance penalty. A little screen flicker won't kill anyone.
No, someone who had the wrong leg amputated deserves a giant payout.
We just had a report on a guy who grossed $1.5M after cutting off his thumb with a saw that didn't implement the sawstop device. How is that not excessive?
If someone gets elective cosmetic surgery, develops an infection, and ends up with disfiguring scars is that the doctor's fault? They'll still live out their natural life span. Does this person deserve a multi-million dollar payout? How do you know the patient didn't contribute to the problem with unhygenic behaviors? Malpractice suits aren't all about the obvious things like botched amputations or tools and sponges left in the body. There are plenty of idiots out there who contributed to their own misery and expect someone else to pay.
There are a lot of big problems in our mishmash of vested interests that leads to so much wasted money.
* We have a legal system that allows for excessive damages in medical malpractice suits. This makes it mandatory for doctors to carry a heavy burden of insurance and that gets passed on to whoever is paying for the medical care. Doctors over-perform tests and over-prescribe drugs because of fear they may be sued. * Prescription drugs are allowed to be marketed to consumers, driving demand and insurance costs where covered. * Pharmaceutical prices are unregulated, allowing excessive profiteering. * Hospitals are allowed to operate for profit. WTF? * Hospitals are able to milk patients with inflated fees for basic items. * Medical insurance companies are allowed to operate for profit. * Mutual insurance companies are allowed to convert to for-profit status. * Employer provided health insurance reduces the competitiveness among insurers because the employees don't directly feel the brunt of the costs and lack options from different providers that would drive costs down. This unnecessarily raises costs for private insurance. It remains to be seen how the new plan will save money here.
Back in the day, FF installers for windows didn't require admin rights; anywhere a user could install was fair game. I don't know if that's still true.
It isn't. You have to be admin now. This gets annoying when I get update notices on a regular account and don't want to shut down and switch over to admin to update.
If you don't like the interface changes in Windows 7, you don't have the option to either change it yourself or pay someone who knows how to change it for you.
I would be surprised if the graphical shell in Win7 cannot be replaced wholesale. This has been possible in all previous versions of windows since 3.0.
It isn't rotoscoped. You can see the skeletonized cat toward the middle of the video. You can also make out some cracks where the different components meet at the joints.
It's more problematic for Japanese because there is no way to guess the reading from the radicals and there are many more readings than with Mandarin. One word may use the Tang dynasty reading whereas another the Ming reading for the same character. Throw in the native Japanese and it becomes a chore to remember everything.
This was a crime executed with... a computer ZOMG!!! The "kingpin" was just a naive, technically illiterate bureaucrat. These two masterminds were the true terrorists. Who knows what other crimes they might attempt if this patriotic whistle blower didn't do the right thing.
Wasn't DirectX supposed to save us from the walled fortress of NT's Win32 API? I don't see how any hardware acceleration features couldn't be implemented on XP and if the API gets in the way just bypass it. If root kits can Pwn XP there's no reason why MS can't do the same.
I just find it hard to believe that Google's sales department would be let in on too much information.
This is what's known as a scripted leak. It allows Google to apply leverage to the Chinese without taking an official stance.
A similar thing happened when Bush was "betrayed" by his friend discussing his use of cocaine (who talks about that shit over the phone?). It allowed him to admit the truth indirectly while currying sympathy and the press completely rolled over and dropped the issue after that. That was one of Rove's more brilliant maneuvers.
The screening process lowers the cost of all their processors because it allows Intel to salvage a saleable product that would otherwise have to be tossed out at %100 loss if marginal processors couldn't be restricted to operating conditions where their reliability is guaranteed. There is no nefarious plotting involved here. It's a natural response to the difficulty of making high-performance devices with small feature sizes.
The account logs are surely how Google is able to connect the dots. It's more likely an account used to upload from a Kinko's was also used for viewing videos from an IP traced to Viacom. That's the problem with malfeasance. You make one simple mistake and you're bound to get caught. Better luck next time Viacom.
The monolithic build for CHDK already has simple motion detection built in. It is only accessible from a script, however, but you can find the configuration options for it in the menus.
JPEG images are patent encumbered too. There's just a gentleman's agreement among group members not to pursue royalties for "baseline" implementations of the standard. I don't see anyone scrambling to remove them from Wikipedia.

CG has been taken over by the artsy fartsies. We're left with scientific visualization.

It's what Gaia would want. She needs his body and soul returned to the mother nest.

Well, I came here to see the fisting. And frankly, so far this site has been a real disappointment.

Most of the microprocessors in the world today have less than a few 10's of kilobytes of RAM. They tend to do useful things most of the time.
