    Gnome? Last I heard they are porting Unity to Qt+

    So the fastest available multi-core processor, 4GB RAM and 128GB storage was available on phones in 2010? So the fastest processor in 2013 is slower than the fastest processor back in 2010?

    What dumb shit do they do with their servers? There is no splash boot on any of my Ubuntu servers (10.04 and 12.04).

    Did you miss that the $80000 option was for 100 units which actually is a lower price per unit, so why should you also get free shipping when you already get a better price?

    Nonsense, the products at places like McDonald's are stuffed with ascorbic acid as a preservative and that is just another name for vitamin C.

    Perhaps that particular mutation is very rare or requires too many steps for evolution to "kick in" (i.e the intermediate stages won't grant the new offspring any advantages so they won't breed in larger numbers and thus there is no evolutionary advantage).

    Depends, is this backup part of the open source Android or the closed one? The option seams to be available in modded roms so it might be open?

    While the UK, Germany and France seams to spy on the data travelling on their national fibers, there is as far as I know yet no indication that they also force companies to hand over user data at will like it's done in the US. Unless I missed something.

    You do understand that all this is really a storm in a teacup? I have contributed to numerous OSS projects including the Linux Kernel and I have never gotten the kind of responses that you fear, and that is not because I haven't made any mistakes, or any big mistakes for that matter.

    Well you where the one that asked how to use BTLE in devices that run Android 2.2 so which device with IOS 4 (ot whatever IOS version that does not support BTLE) will work with your app and BTLE without magic?

    So your new software that requires say IOS6 in order to support BTLE will work without any problems on a IOS1 device that was made several years before the BTLE interface was even though about?

    The Galaxy S most definitely got 2.3, mine does. But even then you should try out a modded rom like Cyanogen, thanks to that I run 4.2 on my Galaxy S without any issues.

    Perhaps in other countries, here in Sweden the forced subtitles where never burned into the image but using the normal subtitles technique in the DVD spec, there is a flag however in the DVD spec that tells the player that a subtitle has to be displayed.

    Also it's not uncommon for the disc's subtitles to be in a far worse shape than the freely available ones.

  19. Re:Let me see if I understand... on Police, Copyright Industry Raid Movie Subtitle Fansite · · Score: 1

    It inteferes with their business model. The company that made the film sells the distribution rights to different companies in different countries. These companies do not want their customers in their country to be able to buy their copies from other countries (be it due to price, quality issues, or long time to market) so they use subtitles or dubbing as a weapon here. That is also why you sometimes will find a DVD/BD with forced subtitles, by doing that the main distributer will know that copies from country X will not compete with their market since no one there want's to be forced to view the disc with subtitles from a different language.

  20. Re:Because the broken one costs more on Police, Copyright Industry Raid Movie Subtitle Fansite · · Score: 1

    It's more likely that they want to protect their current practice of selling distribution rights to different companies in different countries, these companies then do not want me as the end user to buy from a different region and downloading the subtitling from sites like this. Having a subtitle and sometimes even having a forced subtitle on the DVD/BD is a way to create new regions inside the DVD/BD regional system.

  21. Re:Derivative work on Police, Copyright Industry Raid Movie Subtitle Fansite · · Score: 1

    It was not uncommon for DVDs here in Europe to have forced subtitles a few years back, apparantly they sold the distribution rights per country and didn't want people from say UK to buy a copy from Sweden (since they would be annoyed by the forced subtitles). So sometimes they use Language to create geographical areas.

    Fair use is not common outside the US, in fact here in Sweden we have no fair use clause at all.

  23. Re:Skeptical on Heml.is, New Encrypted Messaging Service From Brokep of the Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Still they can extract meta data from this which is what they want most of the time, so what we really need is a way for me to send a message somewhere in such a way that someone with full MITM cannot understand that the message came from my machine and also when you receive it the MITM should not be able to see which message that you fetched.

    The only solution that I can come up with is if every party gets the complete communications, that way no MITM can ever see which message that you are interested in since you got them all, and sending could be hidden by syncing messages between parties combined with every node creating bogus messages randomly. However such a scheme would never work as a mobile app since there is not enough storage space on those devices and since many also have GB limits on their phone plans.

    Exactly how much of Finland's medical health care, social welfare, military spending and road infrastructure will be determined by the European Parliament? Yes that is right, exactly nothing.

    And even if it where, Finland has 14 seats so that would leave 13 to deal with those issues.
