I was downloading the latest Ubuntu distribution a couple of days ago using TimeWarner cable. The download went very fast, but I notice I wasn't seeding very may users, and the few that were had 5Kb speeds.
After I finished downloading, I decided to let it run OVERNIGHT to reseed back to the world. When I checked in the morning, I had only updated 10MB and I noticed peers would pop-up in the window, show a few kb of transfer and then disappear again. I'm assuming that TimeWarner is sending dummy packets to the OTHER computers to stop my seeding.
However, MY download didn't seem affected AT ALL. Also, there were several clients that seems to stay connected but with very low transfer rates.
I pay TimeWarner $13/month to rent a HD-DVR box, and it sucks so bad I want to just shoot it. It doesn't record programs that it should, it is always locking up for MINUTES at a time, and the user interface is horrible to find shows, etc.
For $300 fee plus up-front fee, with similar monthly costs is a no brainer for me.
I rent DVD's from the Hollywood Video store near my house. They have had HD-DVD for some time now, but this week, all a sudden, they now have an equal number of BlueRay as well. Interesting.
When I donated blood a little while back, they informed me that I am also CMV- which means I can also donate to infants. I had never heard of that before, but I guess its pretty rare to be O- and CMV-.
Of course, there probably aren't as many of those, and they don't need that much blood:)
JPG is a lossfull compression format. The whole point of these are accurate pictures.. Why then would you distrubute them by making them fuzzy with a JPG compression?
I think they realize they can't stop the format. The're suing because MP3 is redistributing copyright material. MP3.com cliams this is right of use, but RIAA claims that only applies to individual/person copies, etc. RIAA thinks the service from MP3.com makes it easier for pirating music. In a way their right, currently you have to burn a copy of the CD your friend brought over, or rip the MP3's. Now all you have to do it plunk it in the drive, register it on MP3.com, then hand it back. Small difference, but it is true.
I just got the Samsung 3500 yesterday. I has voice recognition for dailing up to 20 numbers, can surf the web directly (special sites anyway, cnn, yahoo). It can also recieve my email, and connect to my laptop as an external 14.4 modem. Very cool.
I think he was giving just a sample of the new() function. I believe his point was that you could effeciently manage your own memory without the overhead of excessive system calls.
Your assuming that the JIT compiler was a Good Programmer w/ Assembler. How much time was spent on conformance rather than raw speed for these JIT compilers?
The original mission of the 'Pathfinder' was limited in duration to its batter power. Even with the solar panels, it couldn't power the equipment and heaters to keep it running more than a month or so. If the polar lander went into standby mode, it would still need to keep its heaters running. I don't imagine that it has much power left after this long to do much of anything besides cry for help. -Unreferenced symbol? Byte me!

Yeah, thats great, who cares, until your Social Security check doesn't come or your bank account drops to zero.
Or perhaps, they want to be able to listen without a court order?

Wow... hook one of those up to my keyboad.... Well, just my delete key would generate a few megawatts of power.
