1. Patriot was an anti-aircraft system, originally, and that it was operating outside its design parameters.
2. No system should depend on a non-synchronized free-running clock, anyway. That's not an arithmetic problem, that's a design problem. If an absolute time base is needed, you have to actually create one, not assume that everyone's clocks are going to magically stay in sync.
The private road company was refusing to build a road, period, and is now attempting to enforce the monopoly they have by preventing a public road from being laid.
To be clear about this, Microsoft Device Emulator is a bog standards dynamic recompilation emulator for the ARM instrution set.
That's new then. When I was doing this you compiled for ARM, SH3, MIPS, or x86... for the three supported Pocket PC CPUs or for the emulator. You couldn't run an ARM or SH3 binary directly.
Wait, the only difference between Windows CE and Windows NT is the APIs exposed, and the instruction set? That's true between Mac System 7 and Linux.
The low level API on Windows CE and Windows NT... the process you go through to make a call, the overall structure of the program, the library format, the shared library interface, these things are all the same. It's more like OS X vs Linux than Mac OS vs Linux.
The other difference to the application, of course, is that the app isn't compiled for ARM instructions, they're compiled for x86 instructions.
So? The RPMs you download from Fedora aren't compiled for ARM either, and packages that are have had to be pretty extensively modified to be usable on a handheld screen. When I ran Familiar on my iPaq there was very little software other than command line stuff that was really usable... that's why I flashed it back to Windows CE.
As far as the application is concerned, the only difference between Windows CE and Windows NT is the APIs exposed. The calling sequence is the same, the library structure is the same, the IDE is the same, the Pocket PC emulator on Windows works by recompiling the same source to x86 instead of ARM code and linking to a different set of libraries.
Given the variety of APIs exposed to applications running under Linux on ARM (two different Java runtimes, as well as the native UNIX APIs and X11), the differences to the application between Windows CE on my iPaq and Windows on my desktop are less than the difference between Android and Familiar.
Whether a group administrator selects that only members can post, or any google groups user can post, is completely unrelated to this situation. Whether I am a member of the "trainspotting" group or not, I shouldn't be able to post to "trainspotting" (or any other group) without logging in to Google Groups. If you have to log in to Google Groups before I can post, then I can't post as someone else who is a member of Google Groups.
The only way people would be able to post under someone else's address would be if you were able to post without logging in to Google Groups at all.
If this is a Usenet group that Google Groups is just providing an interface to, I guess it's time to bring back the cancelbots. UDP against Google. It's come close before.
If this is one of the Google Groups that's a web forum, then they need to require that you actually log in before posting.
When he started talking about Viewmaster I thought he was going to build a stereoscopic viewer. That's what made the Viewmaster compelling... not that it was "immersive", but that it was 3d.
Also, he left out the high-speed-measuring-and-cutting-the-cardboard montage that would make it look like a real wacky science show episode.
It would have been much cooler if he demoed one of those apps that combines the camera view with geopositioning info to show you the way to the nearest Starbucks.
It's rather unlike ASUS, for sure, as I trust the brand of motherboard.
I automatically bought ASUS motherboards by choice, and that's usually worked out well, but the last two models I've bought have been nightmares... the M2A/VM and it's predecessor model (I forget the model number now). I bought the older model, and was unable to use but a single channel of RAM. The store "upgraded" me to the M2A/VM, and after replacing it twice... the store was unable to get the first two to work dual channel even with their own CPU and DRAM both times... I was finally able to get it working with the third M2A/VM. For about a month.
Would I buy another ASUS motherboard? Probably... none of the other manufacturers have had a perfect track record either. But I don't expect them to "just work" any more.
With Windows 2000 approaching its drop-dead, end-of-life, no-more-critical-security-patches-ever stage
Excuse me... Doctor Evil? That already happened.
If you don't leave any open ports and you don't use any applications based on any of Microsoft's rendering engines, Windows 2000 is no less secure than any other version of Windows... the surface area exposed to attack is in the applications.
The big security problems in Windows are the inability to control ports services bind to except through the firewall, and the inherently insecure and unfixable design of Microsoft's APIs. And Microsoft is still using the same critical but inherently insecure APIs in the HTML control and shell in Windows 7 that they were using in Windows 98 (they can't change them without breaking too many applications).
Better the devil you know... I'm unhappy enough about Microsoft's kill switches, and I'm still on Windows 2000. There's no way I'd trust a crack that replaces Apple's copy protection with one containing a kill switch like this:
"Rebel EFI is free to try and download, though it will have limited hardware functionality and a run-time of two hours."
Certainly not one by a company that's already stated they can't keep track of their own paperwork.
Also, the basis of their carbon footprint calculations seems off:
In a study published in New Scientist, they calculated a medium dog eats 164 kilograms of meat and 95kg of cereals every year. It takes 43.3 square metres of land to produce 1kg of chicken a year. This means it takes 0.84 hectares to feed Fido.
The carbon that went into that 0.84 ha of ground came out of the air, and by no means does all of it go back into the air... while all the carbon that went into the Land Cruiser's gas tank came from fossil fuels and all of it goes into the atmosphere. Unless the LC was a diesel run entirely on biofuel... and people claim that biofuels are carbon-neutral!
that's not the issue. The whole point of FatELF is to deliver binaries.
True. It's to deliver binaries. It's not to work around a bug in some specific build of a binary. That's what building from source is for. However.
I may have missed it in his site project description and FAQ but I was left thinking that I'd not be able to similarly substitute 32bit app as I now do.
You must have. Actually, there's two different ways of doing it:

At least public roads are directly funded by those who use them (drivers).
Public roads are typically funded by developers or by public bonds. They are paid off by their share of gas taxes, by tolls, or by the homeowners.
In this case the public road would have been paid for by the users, through broadband access fees which would have paid off the bonds.
The private road company was refusing to build a road, period, and is now attempting to enforce the monopoly they have by preventing a public road from being laid.
So you're against public roads then.

It's a new technology. You're pioneers. You know how to tell the pioneers? They're the ones with arrows in their backs.
You have my honest thanks for taking an arrow for me.

The eco-pawprint of a pet dog is twice that of a 4.6-litre Land Cruiser driven 10,000 kilometres a year, researchers have found.
Is that a reasonable basis for an estimate? I live in Houston, so my perceptions may be distorted, but that doesn't seem like much.
The solution would be to directly tax those ISP's benefits.
I can't parse that.

You must have. Actually, there's two different ways of doing it:
fatelf-split my_fatelf_binary
and:
fatelf-extract my_elf_binary my_fatelf_binary x86_64
The bug is in the source but not one of the only two binary packages (x86 and x86_64) you have?
Or you mean they've updated the x86_64 version to the newer source with the bug, but not the x86 version?
* You can't find an older version?
* You can't build from an older branch?
Or you mean they've got a 64-bit bug?
* You can't make a 32-bit build yourself?
This seems like a really obscure failure mode to me, and if this particular workaround was removed there are plenty of others available.
times when a misbehaving application is pulled or broken in x86_64 but not i386 and I've been able to temporarily run the 32bit version
And you can't build it from source because...?
