My netflix doesn't work. It requires a PSN login.
of course, that's the installed-to-disk version. I haven't tried pulling out the netflix DVD-rom yet...
it describes a specific implementation of a hashtable (linked list for collision resolution, as opposed to e.g. moving the colliding item into the next bucket) with some extra features (automatic removal of 'expired' items during other operations).
I still would not be at all surprised to find prior art.
He doesn't have to prove he's not guilty. He just has to cast reasonable doubt on the assertion (from the folks running the speed trap) that he is guilty, and he appears to have generated enough doubt here on slashdot that I'd have to let him off too.
As I recall, IPv6 has the possibility to pick up a semirandom address and change it periodically (like every few hours) for exactly this reason. It wouldn't be the only address on the box; there'd be a permanent public one (and a network-local one, and I don't remember how many others) but that'd be the one you'd have your browser use, and voila! No long term IP tracking.
True, the percentage won't change. But the original problem isn't a percentage problem; it's saying "we have X complaints" instead of saying "X out of Y people think this is a problem", because they don't know what Y is. They can't really assume that everyone on FaceBook has seen the material in question and only X think it's bad. The proposed solution is intended to turn the number of folks who have a problem with the content from an absolute figure to a measured percentage, which is (or at least appears to be) much more closely related to whether it really is a problem.
This will hardly be rigorous, but... there's a difference between a service that adds net value (barbers, construction, manufacturing) and a service that only transfers existing value (lawsuits). Sure, the services of a lawyer may add lots of value to their client, but (in perception, at least) it's generally at the expense of someone else's value (the loser in the lawsuit). Whereas the services of a barber add value to their client at approximately zero cost to anyone (except the barber, in time and equipment, and that's why you pay them).
There's probably lots of niggling little details, but that seems to be the core of it: some professions create value, and some professions just move value around.
If you're looking for backup rather than cross-system synchronization, CrashPlan seems to have a lot of the same niceties as DropBox (automatically detecting changed files) but offers a bit more control on the encryption of the backed up data (so just getting to download your backupset doesn't necessarily mean being able to read it).
It seems like a more useful question would be, does the Border Patrol consider Chicago to be on the border.
http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contacts/ports/il/3901.xml seems to say that they do. And unless they're going to start performing shipping inspections out on the water, that's unlikely to change.
Yep. They're both headed towards the niche where watching it live is worth dealing with the commercials (including those little 'only the bottom quarter of the screen' promos, channel logo bugs, etc). They're already in the niche where watching it before you can download it is worth commercials or having to manually skip through them, but that downloadability lag is getting shorter and shorter.
That was one of the things I liked about AIX's gui system management tool (SAM, I think it was?) You could have it display the command lines it was using to do stuff.
Actually, it does, just not at full efficiency. "These newer processors will be compatible with AM3 motherboards but need AM3+ to take full advantage of their features."
Nah. They'd wind up going off for a coffee together.
For a newcomer I think I would also recommend starting with Eccleston, if only because the first few seasons of the new stuff (2005+) are on netflix. Digging up Tom Baker would be worthwhile if you decide you like the concept enough, but it's got a different feel (which, thinking back, I tend to attribute to the production values, especially in background music).
I suspect that the issue is not that the GPLv3 disallows commercial use (because, well, it doesn't). But it does have new clauses, relating to how the presence of GPLv3 code can affect other parts of the product, and the effects can change depending on how the packager did stuff, and nobody really wants to be the first to do something that sounds reasonable and then get slapped with a lawsuit asserting that they interpreted it wrong.
They don't have to. Disney will handle it for them.
But even now (life + 75, isn't it?) it's (by definition) longer than he will live, and probably longer than his children will live.
Once you have the ebook versions (how you get them is up to you) if they don't already have the metainfo you want, Calibre can look up metainfo given an ISBN number. For older stuff that may not have one (or not one that Calibre recognizes) I find trolling Amazon to find a different edition and using that ISBN works well.
But there will always be issues of "These 5 are tagged 'Edward Elmer Smith, PhD.' but these are tagged 'E. E. "Doc" Smith'. Gotta go change half of them." At least it can do bulk setting for things like that...
Sounds pretty cool. I'd be interested in hearing what imperfections you've run across, since their website is understandably lacking in a "what we didn't do right" section:)
Because the head of the marketing department (Steve something) demands reliability and simplicity. Seriously, if it weren't a marketing priority, how long would it remain a priority? The world is full of companies who get by without spending the money and effort...
Or a reduced time period (especially for software. Seriously, 17 years from now the h.264 algorithm's not going to be considered useful even if it is public domain). Or both. I like both.
Slashdot Mirror
yeah, but now you're back to the original question of "What kind of idiot doesn't have a on-site backup of their off-site storage?"
Thanks, y'all! I hadn't actually tried using it after it told me it failed; I assumed it knew what it was talking about. That'll teach me :)

Solar-thermal will still wind up carpeting every inch. Just maybe not as soon.

I was wrong, it was 'smit'. 'sam' was HP-UX.

For some reason when I read this I hear it being sung to the tune of "Tradition!" from Fiddler on the Roof. I think I need to get more sleep.

I can't believe he did it with an on-topic post. Well played, sir!

Won't work. Even imitations of Chuck Norris's head do not bobble.
