Something that would send the data digitally and encrypted with volume control to the subwooffer amplifier. Its just a waste to have intelligence (incompatible intelligence) in both boxes. The amplifier box can be very very basic.
Mostly people purchase an overpriced over featured receiver to switch between their devices. This is dumb. With the number of ports and the onscreen menus and such available on modern bigscreens, the TV should be the center of the system. All devices should go into the TV and one lead should go to the amplifier. The amplifier should be dumb. Maybe just a power supply built into the subwhoofer, and all control should be turned over to the TV. Why have multiple control points / multiple remotes? The control should be with the TV since it is the most versatile at providing controls and displays. Some TVs already have fiber optic sound output and it seems it should already work, but there are problems reported that the TVs dont report the correct amplifier capabilities on the HDMI connections.
They can now build these enormous, high tech bomb shelters. It was a great episode. But the company that built them says that they cannot tell you who is buying them. They are built in secrecy. With hidden entrances. They did say business has never been better. I dont think people who are building bomb shelters today (or corporate officers mis-directing corporate monies) are worried about the Ruskies dropping the big one. They are worried about the zombie Apocalypse (ie, whats going to happen when all the zombies in America go nuts)
Is there going to be different values for nyms based on their location or verified identity? Maybe that would be a good thing. Keeping nyms, but guaranteeing that a person can have only one per site. Or one per planet.
You could "freeze" the ability of the desktop application from running....the user owns the PID after all. Then when your app is done, you could SIGCONTINUE it. Both of these could be done with a simple killall command before and after your app runs.
The keys are there to protect my communications. And yet I am not the one who is choosing who to use as the vendor for my trust. I am given a list of 3rd parties that I have never heard of instead. There should not be 1000+ organizations in charge of the security of my communications. I should choose a vendor I trust, and then that vendor should decide if the website I am trying to reach is legitimate. The system is broken by design.
Some robocalls have been deliberately deceptive: they are run by the opposing candidate using a voice actor to sound like the opponent and made as obnoxious as possible. They were pretending to support the candidate they were trying to defeat.
How many of those shows would you buy the DVDs for so you could watch them whenever you want. They may have shown brightly compared to the other shows that were on, but watch them now. Its painful.
Maybe you don't remember the programming in the old days. It was horrible. It seemed like there was one or two shows a decade that were worth watching. The movies were bad too. We see old movies and old tv shows now that are chosen because they were the watchable ones. Today we are spoiled for choice. There are lots of shows worth watching. Sometimes two a day on the same channel. And there are more than 3 channels now. There used to be very few channels.
We are not running out of land to build them. And the current area devoted to landfills is miniscule. Greenhouse gasses can be collected by landfills. They methane can be harvested. I doubt a compost heap will do that; you need a cover. This sounds like an boondoggle.
I envision installations deep underneath the earth where the energy was produced. The people that maintain the system are given a "one way" trip to down to the installation. They are cut off, except from the other people like themselves in other installations around the earth. They know how it works, and can discuss it over the encrypted channels they share. Their social life is just with the other maintainers of the system. I guess they would monitor each other; let those above know when a new acolyte needed to start training. But the people above, some of whom are obviously crazy, will never learn how it works. Now here is the problem. If you figure it out, then someone else can figure it out. So its only a matter of time before the wrong person figures it out. There is no choice: colonize space.
A single part that has the cpu and the memory on a single pcb. Have 2, 4, 6 and 8gb models. Put the memory right next to the chip and eliminate complexity. You could still add ram to the mobo, but it would act as cache for other things like disk and video. You could even have multi-socket mobos, but the cpus would not share memory except through the secondary memory.
Are these devices designed to just die in a year or two when the batteries decay? And will they "function" at all when they are running off of supplementary power? My Nook Simple, seems to go braindead when its plugged in. It goes into a "charging" mode. I realize this crowd probably wants to use the Fire as a tablet and not as an e-reader. But its being sold as a e-reader and a "replacement" for books. Well, books dont stop working after a few years. What is the max lifetime we can expect from these devices?
Nothing is perfect. While I love Linux and accept gnome, I really don't want them to be the pinnacle of computing design. In 50 years, are we really going to still be doing this? So yeah they need to try new things. Maybe they need to attract additional userbase to justify more development. Let us not be the "old guys" who think that computers were never the same after they lost their favorite mainframe dumb terminal and REXX environment.
Slashdot Mirror
People with serious creds in the theory and application of measurement?
What programs depend on it to be writeable? Just make the file read-only for the PID owner.
I realize there is probably a really good reason why they are not using the builtin compression tools available. What are they again?

As long as it stays stable, I will stay with xfce4. I need my computer to be...predictable. Gnome desktop is no longer predictable.
I think it can do 720p with the extra cable.

Except for yours. It should be relatively simple. Then continue them when you are done. I think you can do it in about 5 lines of shell.
You could "freeze" the ability of the desktop application from running....the user owns the PID after all. Then when your app is done, you could SIGCONTINUE it.
Both of these could be done with a simple killall command before and after your app runs.
If it sees them run other applications, then you can fail them for cheating. Or kill the other applications on them.

In Guatemala. Thats way beyond "fail to treat".
And it was communicable. The wives and children of the subjects were also infected by the diseases.
Is also wonderful.
Portal 2 was interesting in some respects, but fell far short of portal 1.

I played around with it some more and you are right.
