The clam one is a perfect troll. Don't listen to him.
Picking the clam one without listening to both arguments is not rational. It just prove your bias toward some type of emotion. It lead to the support of a relaxed, psychopath, torturer and the condemnation of it's victim that is overwhelmed by his pain. (eg: He is not a credible witness)
What i am trying to explain is that you are never fully rational. We are emotive animals and no matter how light or strong are the feeling, we are never really in control.
If you feel happy you do not respond logically, you see the world through pink glasses. Not becoming violent is not the same thing as been rational. One can be very calm and delusional.
Been moved by feeling is not worng. What is dangerous is believing we remain in control.
Only once we understand this that we can express them freely and enjoy them.
Runing the right application base on what media was inserted is like associng a file type with some app. It do not execute what is on the media, it merely pass the data to a pre-installed application that is authorized and configured for that purpose. The removable media is treated like data, it is not code. It is not autorun.
Autorun is a microsoft invention and i think their diffinition of this "technology" is the right one...
Sure they would. You can feel happy without being irrational.
You think you are, but your not rational. Hapiness is no more rational then anger. Like all emotions, they are both irrational and they make you act uppon them. Not recognizing this open the door to the delusion of rationality when feeling hate. We all know how that end...
That is not autorun. Autorun is execution of arbitary code specified in autorun.inf. Also what you discribe is not a autorun but a multimedia 'icon'. All of this are interesting ideas but they do not constitude an autorun.
When i loaded this page, i loaded code to be executed. Inserting a removabole media is not loading code.
Doing presentation spash screen in sand boxe is very useless and do not corespond to what microsoft intended with the autorun hack.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorun
AutoRun was introduced in Windows 95 to ease application installation for non-technical users and reduce the cost of software support calls. When an appropriately configured CD-ROM is inserted into a CD-ROM drive, Windows detects the arrival and checks the contents for a special file containing a set of instructions. For a commercial application, these instructions normally initiate installation of the software from the CD-ROM. To maximise the likelihood of installation success, AutoRun also acts when the drive is accessed ("double-clicked") in Windows Explorer (or "My Computer").
For this to work as intended it need to be able to run arbitary code at the loged user id or system administrator, or be able to escalate to system administrator.
Without that autorun bullshit, audio cd will still play, photo import will still start and lame flash animation could still be played if configured corectly.
Actually, I never claimed that you should get rid of positive emotions. I just said that you should not let negative ones control you and effect your state of mind by not getting offended in the first place.
They would not be called "emotions" if the did not affect the mind uncontrollably. Believing we have control over them is what lead to mistakes.
But i am the odd one that prefer been offended over been bored...
Autorun is a bad idea. There is reason for 'insering a cd' =='do what ever is instructed on it'. Remember that it was also the mean of the sony root kit.
It entierly depend on the good will of the maker of the cd. Anyone can write removable media and the one that use profesional press are know to not be reliable. This is not just bad implementation, it is no implementation.
Note that autorun is not prompting the user about what to do when a media is inserted. It is the blind execution of what ever is in autorun.inf. There is no correct implementation of this.
Agree. Now Windows is not easy as advertised. I cannot just insert the CD and have it work like magic!
Seriously, autorun is full of shit and i always disabled it when i had a windows workstation. Microsoft is such a bad corporate citizen, it deserve to be sued and sued for all the harm it did. I do hope there is a case for this. For great justice..or for the LULZ.
Depends on what kind of a settlement you live in. In a denser urban environment you're less likely to have that half-hour walk to the final destination.
And if driving, more likely to be jammed in traffic for an hour or two.
Generaly, driving is more efficient. But that is only because city are build around car ownership.

That even if "Lugaru" was a perfectly legal derived work - selling it would be illegal.
Selling it under a different license or without complying with the GPL (eg: no source code, misrepresentation...) that is. Selling GPL softwares is fine. It is "pirated" because the assets (eg: model, texture and sound) are not GPL and cannot be redistribued the same way, if at all. To make a legit derived work all the game contents should be redone from scratch.
There is noting foolish about releasing source code of any commercially distributed software. OP is a troll, and a idiot.
Cents per pound matter in farming because the market doesn't care if you're legal or not. If you're employing all legal workers and your neighbours are employing illegals you're still going to have to absorb the difference. It all adds up and it can be the difference between a profit and a loss.
I have heard that some government involvement could work to resolve this problem. The good new is that these laws and regulations are already in place. We just need to fucking enforce them and put in jail the ass holes that hire illegal immigrants to pay them, under the table, less then minimum wage. This way, all the tomatos will be able to compete on on fair grounds. Also, these workers will get a decent salary and they will pay their share of taxes for a change.
Doing a quick search and jumping to conclusion from the listing... OP is a karma whore. The patent find is bogus. His "cheap and easy to find" screw driver is a scam. No part of his post is insightful, the mods are doing crack again.
In 10-20 years the 3DS will look like a poorly implemented gimmick. Technology improve, old stuff become obsolete.
When HyperDefinition 3D images get streamed directly to the brain in DreemVision(tm), you can be use that the 3DS will be look at like the 2010s version of the virtualboy.

If i remembder corectly, the others surfaces (that are touched very often) contained more bacteria. But the toilet seat contained the more dangerous one.
Yeah, i know peoples dont like Mythbusters here. But that episode was more interesting, relevent and newsworthy then this article.
webm stands for Web Media (not Web Matroska). It is a subset of Matroska with only the necessary features required for video (and audio) to play over the web. As of today, it is supported by web browsers like Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Some video websites like YouTube are already streaming 360p and 720p in the webm format using the HTML5 feature of these browsers. Our tools, like mkvalidator and mkclean, already support webm files; the new version of Haali's Media Splitter can handle webm files; and support in mkvtoolnix has already been added to the next release.
So it is simpler to implement on lighter devices like phone perhaps..
MP3 are not open and are patent encumbered. Vobris(open and clear) or even AAC(open but encumbered) is preferable to MP3. Since MP3 is dated and superior alternatives are already in use, i dont see why any browser should drop MP3 support for the purpose of pushing a better standard.
1990 called, they want their MP3s and animated GIFs back.
Slashdot Mirror
There is.
This is why the services are restarted after the new package is installed. The only patch that need a reboot are kernel fix.
Unfortunately we cannot get rid of the users. Using better softwares is the next best option.
