I upgraded to XP last year, and I do remember the fond times I had with Vista. Loading the OS, seeing the new sleek Aero Theme... wondering why my apps had stopped working. Why, that very same day I upgraded not only Vista, but most of everything else I had! Good times, good times. Then there was the security guard, who warned me it was a bad idea to allow this file to open which may be bad so maybe I shouldn't do it so make sure I'm sure just in case are you sure yes okay maybe okay are you sure yes or no?
But seriously, I think the creator of this article was eating popcorn when he posted it. Like throwing a cat to the dogs...
Your comment just violated my satire patent for "Making a comment worded in such a way that it sounds like a real claim while still carrying an implied negative meaning in opposition of the sentiment."
Aren't those types of networks also referred to as "Darknets?" I recall hearing something about them a long time ago, but I haven't read much into them. Is it akin to using a botnet to host a server/communication system? Anyone with the sexy details?
"This is open source. Any software that uses it must also be open source." The purpose of the license is pretty easy to understand, the only reason it gets complicated is because people keep trying to find loopholes. At least that's how I see it as a programmer, I guess it might seem different in the eyes of a business executive.
I'm not sure if that's entirely true; Companies seem to have an atmosphere within them, that employees and leadership are affected by. If you've ever moved between jobs, you'll probably notice how certain stores just don't give a damn, and some have a more caring attitude.
People tend to mimic those around them; If a good atmosphere begins to propagate, it could very well affect everyone within the company (including the leadership.) This could lead to "nice" companies (or more accurately, a general mood that's a little less vicious.) Of course, with such large companies, it probably varies between working location to working location.
There's an old saying which says "birds of a feather fly together." (Or, "You can tell a man by the company he keeps.") This study implies that the behavior is being shaped by peers, instead of people associating with others who have similar behavior. This is somewhat obvious, but it doesn't seem as dumb as some people are making it out to be.
Money! Hey guys, I have a great new idea to make money! Today, when people call us, we charge them money for the call! If they call back to complain, we'll charge them a complaint depot fee! (execs look back and fourth) "Brilliant!" "Whoohoo!" "We'll make MONEY!" My next idea is to offer free products, with $50.00 shipping! Imagine all the money we can make! "Money! Hahah" "*squeeel* MONEY!"
(>_> I get the feeling that goes on at certain company meetings...)
Hey, that is a nifty approach; I didn't think about flagging things on a per-pixel basis. In fact as you mention it, so long as the torrent bits are kept in order, it's like having "//" comments inserted into your pixels -- the alpha flagged bits are just ignored.
I have mine hooked up to a 65" 1080p DLP TV in my living room. Unfortunately, I'm always afraid someone driving by will look through the blinds. Hehehe...
I'll be honest, I haven't read much into this, but I hope this isn't like some of those other "eco friendly" solutions which involve, essentially, ecological whaling. As a rule of thumb, a 'green' product should be 'green' to mass produce. -- Any chance anyone here can verify how these can be mass produced?
A termination sequence could accidentally arise within the encoded torrent itself; Unlike a C string with a specialized termination character, we're using purely bitwise flags that could naturally arise within the system. However, if we inject our sequence at the start (with the termination inserted at the end of the initial flag) then we don't need to worry about "noise."
Unless there's a different way to do it I'm not thinking of?
Foxnew's fair and balanced coverage may seem like fiction my friends, but I can assure you it's 100% facts. In fact, today only, our pals are offering free implants to boost cognitive function. Join us, friends, and help stop the secular liberal progressive homosexual socialist object oriented movement!
I don't know why we'd need to spiral; the text can be in the middle of the screen anyway -- the initial flag information just describes the locations that need to be cropped. For that matter, it could even describe the location of the text on a letter-to-letter basis, meaning the text can be as complex as needed (for that matter, anything could be inserted, so long as the crop algorithm can keep up.)
Al-Gore warned you all that global warming would awaken man-bear-smogmonster, and now his dire warning has come to pass! Take shelter people of Earth, only Godzilla can save us now (assuming the Japanese don't kill the giant lizard who always saves them, God(zilla) knows why the hell they always try to kill the lizard who always saves their ass.)
I'm half tempted to pop it open myself and add a feature that inserts a text description into the encoded PNG. Really, I don't think it would be too hard (hell, it could just have a few flag bits that tell the interpreter how much of the image needs to be cropped to remove the description.)
I have a black binder that I store important information in -- bank account numbers, SSN, PINs, passwords, mortgage papers, insurance info etc etc -- the way I figure it, if that gets stolen I deserve to lose my identity anyway.
The bigger question is, how the hell does she know it happened while she was on vacation? As if she couldn't have gotten pregnant a few days before or after the trip. It's not like people find out they're pregnant instantly. It takes a while to notice.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the EU imposes a fine on these movie companies for anti-competitive behavior.

I'm excited about the end of the tiny-primary-memory era. One of these days, maybe the line between primary and secondary storage will shrink.

My wife had a vacuum leak and it ruined her dress.
Zing!
I think the vacuum is caused by a BLACK HOLE. Excuse me while I go blog.

I agree; Microsoft is just interested in making cash; When GPL becomes a good way to make $$$, we'll see more of this.

Everyone who likes waffles, of course.

I feel like a jerk for laughing at this, but I did. It reminded me of that line from 'The Hangover' "Haha, it's funny because he is fat!"
