I can, without sudo, use cron to run things, connect to servers over arbitrary ports, and listen on high ports (of course the fact that pretty much everyone is using stateful firewalls, means the last isn't really a big deal).
A piece of malware only need to open a communication channel to an outside server to get commands, and everything it wants to do can be done in user space. Just as I can send e-mail and read my address book, a piece of software can use it to spam without sudo.
If one were to support mercantalist beliefs the US would be better off without China, but not the other way around (note, I actually think being the only mercantile nation can benefit, much like China, but in the end, everyone being open is the best option). We send them money.
Yeah, I kind of meant it could compete in the sense the Hulu does, though other comments lead me to believe this is a rental service, which kinda negates that.
I do think Google, with it's ability to get way more money per-ad than other companies has potential to compete with advertising only streaming, but that does not appear to be what they are doing.
Search warrant perhaps, but I don't think an arrest warrant?
Unless the police did other investigating, and found that the person was pretty much the only one at the house.
I'm also skeptical that a pornographer needs to be taken with such force. Probably safer (for everyone involved, not just the suspect) to grab them outside of the house on the way to their car or at work (especially if they have a day job, which i imagine this guy did, as he's not actually a pornographer).
Even worse, one could imagine, is if every app worked that way.
Not only does one need to find the "layers" window, but it needs to be the one from GIMP, not the one from an illustration program, or a page layout program.
The Apple Classic way was nice, but also helpful in its Window management was "Maximizing" a window went full height by required width, leaving space on the edges for the floating windows.
I would call 4.4 the first useable in any way version, and 4.6 the first version that "feels" like a contender for daily use (it's the first one to survive more than 3 days of test drive, and I don't know if it will ever be switched back to gnome ot not.
That's like 10 months service + phone subsidy, it makes no sense.
I can't see any case where phone subsidy + 1.5 months service + activation fee is not enough, and if they want to be dicks make it 3 months service (I assume Verizon peaks at $150/month, but maybe there is some $500/month plan I don't know about).
A device that could be replaced by skype and a 50 webcam (ok, so that's not as premium, but it is good enogh).
Now the stupid part, if you choose our product, you'll get to pay $25/month for access to less people.
This means, to talk to a relative or a friend, you are looking at $50/month, and these are people that already have internet (and therefor presumably compters). I have seen some real computer illiterates figure out skype, so I don't think they even have ease of use going for them.
If they had focussed on compatibility it may have made sense, selling it as skype your while living room or get on the elite high definition umi network (for free), but charging (a lot at 25/month) for pretty much what everyone already had access to for free (skype) is pretty much the most bone-headed business plan I can imagine.
The flips were at least cheap enough to use as semi-disposable cameras at the low end.
I will say that it better not cause problems during off peak times.
I generally expect/accept I get 50-75% of bandwidth peak, and 100-125% off peak. But if off peak was so congested that an extra 3gb/day killed it (30minutes to an hour) peak usage would be very very slow.
Note, I don't think prices (50+/month for 16/4mbps) are fair, but I do find the ratio of advertised to available bandwidth in my area acceptable. I don't want to pay T rates ($300/month for 1.5/1.5mbps) just for the garentee. I get that pace from comcast even when torrenting during peak usage times.
I do think it's unfair that internet+tv is only 1.4x therice of either alone, the damned cable is run already, it shouldn't cost any different to them if I have TV or not (perhaps some few dollars/month to send and process mybills)
Slashdot Mirror
I would say pretty obviously both.
Lets make a drug analogy. Say you use both coke and heroine, but mostly it's the coke.
You still use both coke and heroine.
I'm pretty sure sudo isn't needed.

I quit mandrake club when they signifigently delayed amd64 release for the lowest pay grade.
I was paying more than windows (60/year vs 40/year for windows), and was treated to signifigently less than debian gave for free.
I moved to ubuntu for 7.04 (my favorite release still, the pace of linux improvement was so fast and exciting).
Still use it, and actually don't mind unity, but kde4 has finally gotten stable for me, and I like it.
How is America an economic threat?

Wouldn't a towel checked into your room, but not to cleaning be billed, even if it was microwaved?

Wasn't there an example inexpensive method demoed at defcon or somesuch recently?
Netflix really doesn't make suggestions based on my consumption habits?
What if it's free?
Google is really good at advertising, and using data to make ads pay more.
It is quite likely that Google can use this to their advantage and be closer to a Hulu competitor, but one that pays the content producers more.
Yes, I was replying to a post about the annoyance of changing discs. And mentioned it was worth the money to have it on the home screen.
What good is a remote with a power button if you cannot play. The game you want without going up to the system anyway.
I don't really know the specifics of their business, but plants can evaporate a massive amount when fresh.
If they are growing there own this could be an issue.
I purchased Zelda (the original) for the Wii Download for that reason.
I already owned it for the Game Cube, but for $5.00 it was worth it to have it on the home screen.
Considering the thread is about 1080p output, I would say that even if it is true in general, it is likely not the case for this discussion.

The book "misquoting jesus" is about deviations from the original text of the new testament.
Most of it is intentional to make other early christian sects look less supported, and much of it is transcription errors.
Ancient greek had not puntioation or spaces, so penis land and pen island would look the same.

Kde 4.6 is a lot better than the previous.
I would call 4.4 the first useable in any way version, and 4.6 the first version that "feels" like a contender for daily use (it's the first one to survive more than 3 days of test drive, and I don't know if it will ever be switched back to gnome ot not.
The early beta of firefox mobile was unusable, but the release was quite good.
I find it quite fast, but it draws oddly, doing nothing then everything rnders at once.
Wouldn't that be good for MS though?
It should still run on Windows 8 ARM (as they can control how the API works), but not on Mono?
without getting all fancy, 700k to 660k to 620k (time between events)
I think it happened 20k years ago and we're all safe.

Still not as braindead as umi.

Interesting, apparently I haven't seen the whole series.
