I would think that free speech only applies to what humans say not the output of a complier and the output changes depending on settings. While you can imply or auto complete some things this is the actual work of a human. If someone writes a program in machine code so that it can be read then it would be source code as well.
Is the distinction being human-readable? Well, if I have an opcode table binary executables are at least as readable to me as Chinese is.
Stop trolling, if you did not speak English this would also be unreadable to you.
Only the US appears to have really bad software patients and if you live outside the US EU and Japan chances are no one bothered to patent it.
I also find it funny that source code is considered a description of the patient. Does that mean for the likes of x264 you would have to sue each individual complier for the infringement (yes I know they distribute the complied library). Also does that mean that all Gentoo users are terrorists/communists?
Thats the 'free market'/US for you, nothing to do with DVB. Here in NZ we went from about 5 to 16 channels (only the original 5 are good viewing, and there is space for more) and where i live we went from poor res with bad reception to 1080i no issues. I don’t see the issue with signal fading, it takes less power to transmit digital so if they were to use the same power: areas where is was 'snowy' should be perfect, though the high res bandwidth requirements might undo the power savings. If you live behind a large hill you are required to buy a satellite dish though.
They could fit large numbers of DAB channels into the FM bandwidth but i guess that bad thing as no more will be worth listening to. at 300k they could get at least 50.
I think that due to going with the DVB model and thus requiring the rather complex OFDM transmission. If they had had just said you can use something simple like (differential) QAM/PSK in your allotted bandwidth then it would be less efficient compared to OFDM but still pretty much work like the old radio. I would think that decoding (D)QPSK would be of a similar or lower cost than FM.
The problem is to get as many channels as possible they allot crappy bit rates to channels to save money. If they did it 'properly' and use the same transmitting power as the old FM per channel the line of sight range should be far greater than FM; of course travelling though hills is kills most high frequency transmission.
This is meant for houses in rural areas so antenna size is no problem.
As for the limited bandwidth well since everything is done from the mains it would be much easier to bump up to 64QAM or potentially higher, there could be a standard somewhere for using it with OFDM.
With smart phones becoming cheaper and larger more people have phones that are difficult to pull out from your pocket and have less than reliable battery life. This makes having the time on your wrist much more convenient to a potentially time consuming task of getting the time from your smart phone.
Dont know how universal it is but this line works on my desktop without privileges dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop bung it inside a shell script and you don’t need root. Replace stop with restart to restart.
Though when I think about the best short-cut is the power button outside or inside of X it will at least open the shut-down dialogue.
Do you own a laptop that you use the full battery life on? How is not a serious bug where all of a sudden your computer looses 10 percent battery life for no good reason due to core software. Since its not universal I guess you could argue its not a regression, if you want. I remember higher percentages being thrown around, certainly if it goes past 20 percent it becomes the kind of thing people stop using Linux over, Linux is already pretty terrible on some laptops due to having to use generic drivers.
I have not herd of anyone who actually uses or recommends the test suite so money can't be rolling in the door. Finding and solving a significant kernel issue that was not being looked is a good chance to promote that they have some expertise in their company.
1997 called and it wants its stereotype of Mac users back, please. Seriously, I haven't heard anybody use the "Macs are for graphic designers, film editors and TEH GHEYS" trope with a straight face since at least 2003. There was a time for Mac users - circa 1996-2000 - when the only quantitative advantage you could point out for Macs vs. Wintel PCs was the availability of certain graphic design software/plugins. As a result, Mac users clung to "well, So-and-So uses Macs" as a last-ditch rationale fighting Windows-centric business IT shops trying to squeeze them out.
Circa 2006-7 (may have been earlier but don't think so) there was an apple ad where some 'chick' said she is able to use the same program as the movie pros use (i assume FCP), and i have seen some bullshit animation on an ipad two ad where a doctor could touch navigated though a MRI scan. The image that apple products are good enough or the best for professional to use is very important to their image. That's the problem, one of the kinds of stereotypical apple users (or at least one some of us would like to apply to them) is that they are content consumers who buy their device because it has an apple on it and is therefore better than all competitors without needing to compare them. Having professional uses for their product prevents this stereotype from being applied to all apple users. (My impression was that the Macbooks came back into society though young (College) students buying a capable first laptop, if it becomes known that these are not capable of doing productive high quality work then it becomes bad to have one.)
P.S. Though i was last year i heard from someone who has owned macs since well before 1997.
Having hight end graphics development being done on apple helps counter the image that apple owners are just stupid content consumers with more money than sense or in the very least allows those apple users to ignore rational arguments and say 'but high end video editing is done on apple computers'.
If all the professionals left apple, i think that the fan-boys might find themselves loosing arguments (rather than the other side giving up try to convince him he's wrong) and think twice before shamelessly pointing to the apple on the back of their monitors.
Link please. Probably should just have mod you a troll.
A quarter of mill does not hide this kind of information, the fact that you received a donation from nuclear companies might be better. Not that its anything more than coincidence, how does undetected radiation cause deaths within 10 weeks in the US. Maybe if in the next few years we get a 35 percent rise in thyroid cancer this would be remotely plausible.
However, if you also add to the mix that in the "enterprise" a typical user can't do much with their computer, so a simple auto update like this requires admin intervention and you have a real problem.
They could not apply the security update by themselves if it was just FF 4.0.x either as far as I know.
If they had told ad-on devs that the probably did not break anything, I would think a lot of them would increase their supported version numbers after checking against a release candidate and this issue would not have occurred. No script adblock, flagfox and other mainstream extensions appear to go though without a problem.
Of course Ubuntu is bloated and uses heaps of memory but there other lower memory usage distros that you still don’t need to compile. Though whenever you are comping meaningful your memory usage goes well above 500 MB (i had to redo my partitioning because my netbook could not compile gcc with 1 GB ram) and will overheat stuff.
I would suggest that arch linux delivers similar/indistinguishable (until you apply a benchmark anyway) performance if you recompile the kernel for your hardware.
I was saying gentoo is a phase you go though with Linux: you lean some of how Linux fits together you get to compile a kernel just for your hardware and compile Linux from source but after portage breaks for the fifth time trying to so you cant install a package you want and you have to wait for that package you want now you have to ask if its worth it. The main issue I have with source based disros is either you have crap hardware and it kills your computer comping it or your hardware is good and you don't need performance improvement.
P.S. this is/. no one expects and may not care you to write paragraphs to defend two flippant lines and a sentence defending them.
You must still be in dating phase believing that her binaries will be just a little faster than everyone else’s.
When you actually move in you will find that the maintenance is just too much and not worth the effort.
Seriously for a Ubuntu user to go to gentoo over default options you fail to realise just how shitty the package manger/repos are and spend ages using a package just to gain back the time you lost compiling it. If you really want to compile for your instruction set get the kernel sources and use/usr/local.
You know what she means and so does she. There will be someone at some stage in making this law that will know the correct term to replace just 'minimum' with (I would think something like minimum average sustained download speed would be better).
What she does fail to account for is the speed drop when SNR to the tower is low or the channel crap negatively effecting the speed that makes this bill hard to give meaningful figures.
If you averaged the average minimum speed across all costumers in an area I would think you would get a useful metric with a significant margin or error though.
When you look at the number of people who still believed in the clock frequency version of Moore's law intel actually got it pretty accurate. They are only out by a factor of two comparing that to the other numbers 128GHz!!!! Though doubling it again for consumer chips is going to take at least 10 years more.
When they are promising those kind of improvements for 2018 I'll let them be an order of magnitude out.
According to the firebug console my bank is unpatched.
[bank].co.nz : server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555
Method: Install firebug and open it to the console window Enable and check all outputs except JavaScript warnings (not sure which is right one) and reload the page.
Looking at the pic again: The technology is something a 4 year engineer student (like me) would put together though whole pcb, looks to be single or double layer. The big white component (don’t recognise it) is about the only thing that might not be close to 10 year old tech off the shelf.
If anyone can recognise it, is the black chip is it an ASIC/CPLD or a SAM/ARM chip? The only thing high tech about the enlarged section is possibly the code on the chip.
Since there is no speaker shown and the rest of the hardware is actually needed for wireless ID i don't see any real evidence basis for this apart from some badly translated smuggler i just can't believe he would have said anything close to that.

Unless you are behind a hill this is less to do with digital TV and more someone not willing to pay for the transmission power to get it to you.
If you are behind a hill then tough luck maybe they will someday be able to go to lower frequencies or build a transmitter on your side.

I assume your ISP will have email accounts included in the cost and i have yet to find one without web mail access.
If you pay enough you can even get your own domain name from a lot of places i expect.

P.S. No real interest in loosing my mouse.
You need to have that installed but yes it would be. Its not even in my default repos.
found a script that works without root.
https://gist.github.com/988104
Says is calls what gnome does to shut-down without privateers.
Set-up a short cut to open a terminal emulator of your choice and you have more than you need. Alt-F2 also works.
Linux destops are designed so you can use your mouse. Window managers are for keyboard.
Alt-F2
gnome-terminal
Enter
su
poweroff
There might be a user executable shut down command but i have yet to find it, chmod does work though.
Sorry mucked up my modding.
The attenuation is also pretty terrible. The only place this was useful is before cheep wifi modems/routers.

Firefox 5 is the security update to FF4. I don’t think anything was broken apart from the version number.
Its just really confusing to people not following this why they would do this way. I was a 5 mb update on windows for me.
