I am female, I do not use the Mens Room, why do they still exist? The space would be better used for expanding the Ladies Room.
That would be appropriate if I were suggesting elimination of radio content. I'm suggesting that technology has moved on beyond push and pray broadcast of content using highly valuable spectrum. The function of broadcast radio can coexist with modern use of the spectrum.
DIgital radio is wireless data. Adding a return path just seems like needless complexity - how will this a) save bandwidth and b) be beneficial except to advertisers?
Because it can be used for data other than typical radio broadcasts, and is at a suitable frequency for long range transmission?
I'm 54; I grew up listening to radio. It's now been about a decade since I last listened to radio, even in my car (first switched to CDs, then mp3). Wouldn't the bandwidth be better utilized by wireless data at this point? Streaming digital broadcasts could easily replace the small number of broadcasts that remain (e.g. sports, news, religious, top40). As an extra bonus, the broadcasters/advertisers can actually tell if anyone is listening.
As far as I understand, pictures and video are not evidence unless someone testifies to their veracity. Under questioning, all he has to do is say he photoshopped the "evidence" for his own amusement at the reaction they would provoke in the forum. I suspect what happened instead is that he verified that the media were real to the police, and that's why he was charged. That's speculation though, as the article doesn't have enough information to determine the basis for the charge.
The problem for many people is the incongruity between how they were raised and reality. People are generally raised to believe that people are good, that there are norms of behavior, there is justice in the world, authority figures can be trusted, things happen for reason and are overseen by an omnipotent deity. As we grow up, we learn that these are simply convenient lies that define our society.
When presented with conflicting visual evidence, we can be shocked and damaged - our world view is broken. Some go into denial (classifying the content as depravity), and some go into depression (recognizing that society is simply a veneer). Education and experience over time tends to break these falsehoods more gently, incrementally. The Internet is not so gentle.
If I purchase the phone outright, wouldn't this be willful destruction of property on Motorola's part? Does a company have the right to destroy a purchased product - after the sale - if the consumer doesn't use it in a prescribed manner?
I have multiple email accounts, but there' no reason to switch between them. You can compose mail "From:" any account you want (even non-gmail accounts), and you can forward the mail from one account to another (or have gmail collect it via pop/imap). I log into one account, have access to the mail from the multiple accounts and can respond appropriately. Why waste time switching between accounts?
I participate in Zogby surveys, and I haven't even watched traditional news media in years. I trust Google News more, because it doesn't present a single point of information on a subject. I get a representative article, and then a link that gives me the details - "all 11,002 articles" on the subject. I can drill down as far as I want. Traditional media is a single point of view, with a single agenda; why would anyone trust them any more than a Wikipedia article with no citations?
But after observing it for a while, I've come to some conclusions as well.
Watching an individual tweeting is like watching a neuron firing; it doesn't appear to be doing anything useful. Stand back a little, and you can see that neurons (or those that tweet) are parts of functional groups. Step back further and you have a conscious brain.
This is the way I started to look at Twitter, and the analogy seems to work. The first place you find out about major events now? Twitter. First some tweets ("Hey, did anyone near xxx feel something?"). Then comes the higher level analysis ("Did the paint factory explode? No, it was an earthquake!"). Then comes the sensory input (twipics, twitvids). Then the emotional response ("OMG, so many people injured!").
If you look at Twitter this way, it's almost like looking into the hive-mind. It's very interesting to observe, whether you participate or not. There are multiple search and aggregation engines, though they can lag realtime significantly during major events. It's better to have 'probes' (follows) into various areas of interest.
With the pressure from HTML5 and Apple, I guess Adobe figures now is a good time to fragment the Flash market. We no longer need Flash for Youtube, and we'll just have to suffer through not having dancing, blaring, advertisements. Strangely, I'm OK with this.
We heard you the first time. Maybe you should *listen* when you read: It's not fixed yet. The 10.1 RC has not been released yet (that's the whole "release candidate" part of it). There is no patch for 10.0.x.x or 9.0.x.x yet so is still vulnerable. Mmm-kay?
I shouldn't respond to anonymous trolls, but the 10.1 RC is available at the Adobe beta site, just not for Linux 64-bit. That was the point of the post. If you're not familiar with Adobe's release process, maybe you should try a google before blowing smoke out of your ass.
Unless you're going up against Google, for example. They might consider it worthwhile to spend the money to invalidate a few hundred patents. In which case MPEG-LA would risk losing its revenue stream. There's risk on both sides of this battle, and I can't see either party entering into it lightly.
Of course, it's related to a similar fine-grained parallelism idea for crypto that I wish would be widely implemented, and that's offloading most of AES CTR mode onto a separate thread, or several separate processes since each block has a computation step that can be computed in advance in parallel with all the other blocks. I might start doing multi-gigabyte transfers over ssh if that were implemented. As it is, on even my fastest computers, multi-gigabyte transfers are very CPU bound over ssh with the ssh process pegged at 100% (and just 100%) CPU.
That's already implemented in the high performance ssh patch, available here. Scroll down to the "Threaded CTR cipher mode" patch, if that's the only part you're interested in.
I've applied it to the openssh package on my Fedora 12 system. As is, it provides about 40% increased throughput on my quad-core. You may be able to get more by tweaking it to increase the thread count.
Do they really think this card can't be duplicated / created illegally? If it's actually too hard to make one, people will just steal the materials or bribe someone. As is done today. The only ones that will be impacted, as usual, are those attempting to follow the law, who get eaten alive by the bureaucracy.
The other shows are available online as well (Hulu.com, ABC.com, as well as many local affiliate web sites). The network is available over the air in digital quality for pretty much anyone in Cablevision's coverage area. There's really no loss, just noise.
I know that Fedora seems to have addressed this with parted 2.1.1 and util-linux-ng 2.1. Both are scheduled for Fedora 13, but can be pulled into Fedora 12 by those getting the hardware early.
For something that small, a capacitor would be better than a battery. Better utilization of short peak light to stored energy. Short term high current draw (e.g. for a transmitter). Much (much) longer life than a rechargeable battery. It could run for hundreds of years.

The Linux 64-bit version is still at the vulnerable level, and has not been brought up to the non-vulnerable level.
If the fix is critical, why is the Linux 64-bit version still at the vulnerable level?

That works both ways. We can use it to game the system to get the shows and movies we want made. All's fair.
The largest single system image I'm aware of runs Linux on a 4096 processor SGI machine with 17TB RAM. Maybe He means that Windows needs rework?
When I looked at the numbers, all I could think of was "that wouldn't even come up to a good bonus at Goldman Sachs".
Which ones are the bank robbers again?
