actually, the PSN network is again one of the items that IS marketed with the device. Unlike xbox, PS3 allows free online play as a reason to pay sony for the hardware in the first place.
Removing it after the fact (other than for breach of contract terms) should be considered bait and switch as well.
Not sure about Ubuntu, but this is the way to do it in Debian :
Disable gdm
# update-rc.d -f gdm remove
modify/etc/rc.local, add these lines just before "exit 0"
** rc.local - BEGIN
su - username -c startx
reboot
** rc.local - END
add the file/home/username/.xsession
**.xsession - BEGIN
#!/bin/sh/path/to/script/that/start/yourapp
**.xsession - END
make the.xsession executable
# chmod u+x/home/username/.xsession
Along these lines, could you not simply have a "testing" user, and set their shell in/etc/passwd to be "/path/to/testing/app". so what if they change ttys, etc. if they dont have credentials to login to system (except as the kiosk/testing user), they wont be able to "launch browsers, change system settings, etc". at least thats how I used to handle it... (though that was console mode vs inside window manager).
original user could check disk queue length, and then start running their apps. then when it starts chugging, go check the stats to see if there is a spike in disk io, or queue length.
Most of the time when I notice any stuttering is also the same time my hard drive lights up
As the drive(s) get busy, pending operations get queued up (disk queue depth) and as such, the machine starts "hanging" waiting for the IOs to finish.
unless of course we're hanging because we're waiting on something to be paged so the app we're running appears frozen), and are expected too, for obvious reasons.
It is obvious. The point here is that the paging operation of the machine makes the problem worse. Especially if you have slow disk(s), or the pagefile/swap space dynamically changes.
primarily, linux does a much better job about not paging unless it starts running out of memory. whereas windows seems to start using it as soon as it boots.
nice calculation. based on those numbers -- looks like they are ATA (SATA) disks. i am not aware if SAS drives have that density (off the top of my head).
what if the bank has a financial interest in the car, and instead of the judge, it is you. is it ok for the bank to put a tracking device on your car until the loan is completely paid off? this is starting to get really grey area, and freaking me out about people putting tracking devices on our (the people) stuff without our knowledge, and without a warrant.
so someone deemed to have started [frivolous] lawsuit, pays the court fees for the defendant. if you/company simply [loses], everything stays as normal. ex: if you are filing in east texas and lose because you dont have a leg to stand on, then you get slapped with the fees from the defendant.
Doesnt netflix require silverlight? will microsoft be migrating this to something else, or include "microsoft silverlight runtime" for future windows os, but no new feature releases?

If anything apple should/could sue samsung, saying samsung created a version of the Apple iPhone that works like it should. with less of a learning curve since the icons apparently resemble the ones Apple is using.
As long as samsung didnt use apple logos, they should *in a correct world* be fine... its not like they jailbroke a iPhone, and copied out the original icons to use in their competing device.
Yet another death caused by fucking idiots who text while driving. Nuff said.
Yet another death caused by fucking idiots who are standing in the middle of the road, and not following the law by moving their vehicles to a safe area, then blaming everyone else.
the old guy was supposed to move his car (and himself) off the road to safety and not be blocking the road. he is obviously standing in the road(on the edge is still on the road), otherwise, how did he get hit? what, are people driving on sidewalks in chicago now?
This is just like I hear on the news all the time - truck driver (18 wheeler, etc) assumed at fault because his truck crashes into a car, and kills someone. -- story clarified later: person in car thinks the world owes them something, are changing lanes with no turn signals, weaving, and slams on the brakes to avoid the car 9000 feet in front of them that tapped their brakes...truck runs their car over because trucks that are loaded down weighing 80,000lbs dont like to stop on a dime... oh, lets sue the truck driver, get the aclu/naacp involved because the person in car was black, and truck driver was white, etc, blah blah. arrgh!
...But make the fixed "taskbar" on top go away. Just let it scroll up with the rest of the page....
Err, no. I think I may be the only one who likes the top navbar... It looks clean, and slim.
Not sure if I like the left navbar yet, maybe a collapsible menu would be better, but dont really have a problem with it overall.
Though, the whitespace, and black text on white hurts your eyes after only a few minutes of reading from the office... I am not even at home in a dark room yet. OUCH! and by whitespace, I dont mean on the sides... I mean horizontal spacing between subject of user comment and the users text, then more space at the bottom before the end of the comment box
PS: Good work on the reply/preview function. hella fast.:-)
I know the article is supposed to about our rights being taken away while goverment hands out rights to corporations...sickening.
Side note:
AT&T, fraud?, doesnt want anyone to know about it? that couldnt possibly be happening. oh wait a moment, this has been going on for a while and AT&T has already basically admitted guilt? networkworld.com
I am hoping the next news article about AT&T that comes out, is about executives going to jail and donating their golden parachutes to the schools... will that actually happen? 8ball says: My sources say no
Also, it is IMPOSSIBLE for any operating system to be actively displaying how much CPU it is using while using 0% CPU. Answer: WINDOWS IS LYING TO YOU.
Maybe not lying per-se, but not displaying to a drilled down accuracy either. 0% at idle, is showing that the system is using less than 1% usage at idle... windows doesnt show cpu usage percent in smaller than 1 increments.
So to clarify, system using 0% *according to windows* could equate to approximately [0].16% cpu usage at idle. - Not exactly 0%, but for rounding purposes, alot closer to 0 than 1.
I wouldn't want to pour the entire gulf of mexico worth of water through that small glass jar. reminds me of those pur water filters, where you pour some water in, and have to wait for it to *seep* through the filter material before you can put more in.

bluetooth single ear headphone thingy. just lay on you side, then if you doze off, etc you can hear the phone ring but nobody else will. in theory.
and if all else fails...e.g. headset falls off..., ducttape the headset to the side of your noggin!

1) Pagefile/swapping. - the os thinks it is from the 90s and trying to do memory swapping (no matter how much ram you have).
2) disk controller drivers run in kernel mode. any rise in disk queue length (pending requests) hangs the system. arggh.
LOL!!! ..."handling more packages..." -- nice!

2. The bar is to keep the mammoth from tripping over on its non-existent face. watch the vid again, looks like it is about to trip over itself.

is there hidden messages if you play it backwards?

How about some personal responsibility instead?
Google = About + Terms of Service Bing = Legal Maybe Bing doesn't go two levels deep? :-)
Bing = Privacy -> terms of use
so to add to the complication of bing, which one contains the legalese we need to determine if you are allowed to be used as a mule?
