You still are equating a persons worth to his income/lifestyle. If everyone sat around in tents climate change would not be an issue.
To reduce CO2 emissions those cars should either not be made or be constructed more efficiently costing more. The pollution making the care effects both. Regardless of the reasons why, the car maker is destroying both peoples environment while the guy in the tent is innocent.
That logic only make moral and ethical sense if you are a selfish American supremacist capitalist (yes there is redundancy there). The rest of western world pushes the guilt to the back of their minds or tries ignore that this occurs.
How do you arrive at this premise? That the free market is entitled to write whatever rules it likes to beat china. That a persons worth and rights is proportional to his income, yes this does happen but there is no ethical or moral justification for it.
These stories are another way to block CO2 reduction. Provide some statistics that make it look like China is main polluter and therefore they need to change before the US should.
I think the fairest way to measure this is CO2 per person (possibly with allowances made for cold countries). As each person has a requirement for energy for personal and economic use, that will require CO2 to be produced. Saying China should not be allowed to burn the same amount of CO2 per person as the US for cheep power and petrol will not go anywhere, the US is still the problem.
In my current constituency, the winner won with less than 35% of the vote, with under 15,000 votes, so it may be possible to make an impact in hotly contested areas. Maybe not straight away, but even taking votes away from the larger parties will start to get some notice.
Meanwhile they are taking votes from the party that is closest to their political views (i'm guessing its Lib-Dem*) hurting their (the PP's) cause.
No PP stands a chance under a FPP system, they would just split the Lib-Dem (or whatever the closest politically is) voters. Its bey
Germany has a proportional system* that gives their PP a chance. Winning close to a majority of the population (of a region) for a seat is hard when less than half have any understanding of the issue.
I have herd a number of recommend that for a personal desktop you could use it for non user files (ext for home and boot and btrfs for ever thing else).
The idea being that if something goes wrong you can just reinstall (30 min for me if I cache my updates).
You just have weigh up the risk and minimize the damage. Unless you are using it with something like snapper (fs snapshot and roll back) or a stopwatch you will never know the difference unless it gets corrupted.
20% is FAR above their actual desktop market share.
Those seem rather specific figure for College/University market share. What is population being measured here? i would think it's rather difficult to get a accurate measure of University share. Apple could easily be 3 times more popular considering discounts and marketing. If you go to a Medicine lecture Window computers could be out numbered.
Somehow you jumped right to the end, i never said you could not view on a mac but how do you encode using the program (i guess you could buy them a VM)?
Again, it's not the schools responsibility to make sure that you can competently operate your personal computer or to make sure that any required software will run on whatever obscure OS you want to run.
1 in 15 with everyone having seen an apple ad is not obscure. If the market share is higher say 1 in 5 or higher when its no effort to support something a web browser can play (WebM/h264) would be more useful for everyone except XP users who don't want to install firefox(more obscure at Uni than apple users). Of course if IT have job security then i guess screw you go spend some money works too.
That probably explains the difference my Uni was not completely sold out to MS. Ours was 20 about percent MacBooks students and staff. Seriously how can you think Macs an obscure OS at Universities. WMV probably has less market share for public videos than Macs do as desktops.
What university are you at where Apple has no market share some departments must have 1 in 5 students wanting to use macs.
I'm not suggesting it does not work, it just a crappy solution to the end user especially your non windows students. If you have it working its all good but you are suggesting that someone should start with an unsupported product using a codec that is most likely going to need to need VLC for those without windows or force them to use WMP. Do your students like the solution or do they every have trouble playing it? How does it work for lectures with MacBooks?
If you need IT setup (you gave them a profile and a quick tutorial i'm guessing) then you could use any slide program and script everything from there. Yes youtube supports the format like most other common ones, you could transcode directly to WebM (common encoder profile these days) or some iPod supported one and that would also be able to be uploaded.
Though the non free solutions are at the top, google "slidecast" or "slidecapture", no i can't test them but they promise the same features as your solution. I would chose something with web browser support as that would be by far the most convenient for students this most likely mean using flash or java still i think.
I know, I know, anything MS is so evil. Deal with it, he asked for a tool that does the job well, this does.
No a lot of things MS are crappy, not evil, this is partially to do with WMP needing to be a.NET example (it would not be a good endorsement if it was a native C++ application).*
MS products work and depending on your definition work well but they are always preform like crap and are designed to make it frustrating to use outside of windows. I would expect that open-source, apple and for a fee third party windows devs will have better solutions that are still supported.
*For music i consider 45MB to be required amount of memory for a player (10 more than a light weight GTK Player) this also implies that it has a fast start up. Video not needing to run the background can use more but still does not need more than 100MB (mplayer uses less than 50).
Seriously, it is older and not supported anymore, but still works on modern OSes fine. Has a screen capture mode that works great.
So it works until you don't have access to VLC, on your portable device or computer without admin access.
WMP is something most users want to avoid either because its bloated and generally incompatible or its not iTunes. Having a file that will open with WMP by default is just not a nice thing to do.
Disclaimer: I have never forgiven a Vista version of WMP for grabbing 1.5GB of ram because I accidentally opened it (this was somewhat repeatable). Win 7 provided the solution by allowing me to uninstall it.
Use another compiler, yes its not convenient but why would you use C in the first place you know MS will be a dick about it.
There are advantages and disadvantages to living the MS dev walled garden. I think if you use a non CLR language with just MS tools you are asking for a little pain.
How is C in anyway dependent on Microsoft VS support? VS as far as I can tell is for writing User level applications on managed code where C is terrible. Even GTK have realized that objects are good for writing most Applications.
The reason c is still around is to write the low level stuff that you can't swap out in windows. If MS could set the programming languages, C would not have been taught for at least 10 years and everything would be full of the lag and bloat that comes with non native code.

Is Overclocking Over?
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
You just don't get the overclockers mentality. Either is all part of the fun adding to the risk or you are getting the most out what you paid for and are still within stable limits. I don't think many overclockers care about random data corruption unless they blue screen or they turn it off when they need stability.
That paper is still good for buying stuff that makes there economy stronger. If you have paper to burn and totalitarian authority then you can fix anything economy related. They can just stop their citizens from buying expensive stuff from overseas.
You assume that the US would work if everyone though it was only paper. No one would trade oil, food and other stuff for paper. Just like no one would want just paper for their latest technology.
Also its "paper" that stops the Chinese factories from seizing the fab plants and selling everything without R&D costs.
No one has the balls (or ever should) to start a war between nuclear powers. Unless you can stop all the missiles (Russia thinks attempting to do this is a hostile act) you cannot win or benefit from open war.
These patents are being filed in the Chinese patent system.
Enforcement in China? Priceless.
If they let all patents though and enforce it, along with forcing Chinese manufacturers to provide cheep products to China then they can can lock the US and others out of ever equalizing the tech trade imbalance. And since the government can control the courts they can influence the patents that stay valid. Of course that's just the begging and it would annoy a lot of people.
Because if it can handle/. then for a media player it should be able to be able to provide "near instantaneous" performance but still have the extension capability of the Firefox browser.
Its on github and depends on open-source libraries.
from the github page:
HipHop is licensed under the PHP and Zend licenses except as otherwise noted.
Its opens source but not copyleft/gpl and if you want to contribute to the project i think you have to sign over the copyright (need facebook login to see the agreement).
I^2*R is by far the best way to look at this problem.
Its easy to measure, calculate and in general work with. It gets around needing to use the voltage drop from one end if the wire to the other.
V is dependent on wire and load impedance and supplied voltage to obtain a required power.
You will find the power dissipated in wire can be calculated purely from the impedance (somewhat fixed) and the supplied current. The voltage drop across a wire is related to the current though it and the wires impedance and can therefore be factored out..

For the drum roll, China is number 78th at a mere 5.3 tons per person.
So its the rich, especially those with oil, that are the problem. I stand corrected.
China is a small fish though.

I find i hard to believe that people who vote are swayed (especially in a 2 candidate race, guess primaries are different) by a Facebook page or app.
I guess you could have an donation method embedded in it for the person who would download the app.
I still think most people who are undecided make up their mind based on who sounds the best to them on TV.

The model is far to simplistic to account for blackjack card counting that has its own set of maths models.
According to the paper they are (initially) using a p=3/5 for an even return which to me is a hypothetical or illegal situation.
Am i missing something here or is this just a paper for if you find your self in lucky situation where the house is loss leading?
