The New PHP

· Score: 1
My host for my hobby site gives me php and a mysql DB for $7 bucks a month, and that's probably more than I should be paying. If I want perl/python that goes up to $100/mo.
I'm paying $7.95 per month for a virtual machine, and I don't think that is the cheapest option. If I want to put perl or python on, I can, although last I checked a J2EE server was running into the RAM limits for the VM to do anything non-trivial with it.
Science isn't close to making a competitive substitute for chicken. They've made a hamburger that cost over $500k, which isn't even close to competitive with Wagyu Beef in price, and judging from the response of those who ate it, barely competitive with a McDonalds ammonium-hydroxide patty in taste. Given that a typical broiler chicken only eats about 2.5 times its body weight in feed over its short lifetime, making a synthetic meat that can compete will be a hard task that will most likely take decades.
Of course, it begs the question: Who the hell puts their phone in the glovebox every time they get in the car, especially when said car also has a Bluetooth module?
And when stated feature is to let you use the phone's GPS on your vehicle's screen. I guess we'll be seeing dedicated iPhone launchpads on top of the airbag compartments in select Mercedes Benz, Ferraris and Volvos soon so the phone can get a decent GPS signal through the windshield.
Nope, the early MP3 players were custom software utilities.
I'm pretty sure we're talking about hardware MP3 players here, not custom software utilities. My first one needed an MMC card plugged in. How you got your songs onto the MMC card was your own problem. I don't remember if it came with a USB MMC card reader or I had to buy that separately.
It's cool stuff. It should have been pushed out 2 yrs ago, but I don't think anyone else is doing this right now.
There is nothing new here. It was pushed out more than two years ago, under the name iPod-Out. A few auto manufacturers started to adopt it, and first products were appearing around the time the iPhone 5 came out and dropped all support for it. And before Apple introduced iPod Out, Nokia was already pushing MirrorLink, and now there's Miracast aimed at this space as well. It also seems like Google is working on something, so it isn't exactly the case that noone else is doing this right now.
Javascript hasn't changed. The fashionable way to use it, the libraries and some extra bindings to browser and device functionality might have changed, but the language is still fundamentally the same language that Netscape invented in 1994.
MPEG video streams are slow to start because not every frame is a full frame. There are also latencies everywhere within the transmission system of digital broadcasts that adds up to a couple of seconds delay when compared side by side with analog broadcasts. But the additional buffering required to get smooth playback on a shared TCP connection would be multiples of that delay.
How many of the 1.5% (and the 0.15%) are people who don't know how to secure their iPhone/iPad to stop young kids from making in-app purchases without any idea that they are spending real money?
I downloaded that game for my kids when it first came out. I promptly deleted it when I realised how much nagging it does to get kids to make in-app purchases. In-app purchases in games aimed at pre-schoolers and elementary school age kids are unethical in the extreme, and should be the first thing regulators go after.
AVC-LAN is even slower than CAN. Its basically a remote control bus for the A/V components to send commands to each other over. Actual audio and video is taking a different route (probably analog).
There's every reason to suspect that TCP/IP will be used for audio/video modules. There's no particular benefit to using anything else
Except that using protocols that are designed for audio and video instead of general IP traffic ensures that you see/hear a glitch free stream without waiting for buffering before you start playback every time.
Ethernet is a well understood standard? I think very few people have had to deal with transport level details of ethernet since the advent of ethernet controller ICs in the 1980's (or maybe early 1990's). Most hackers work at higher levels which wouldn't necessarily be deployed on a network that needs guaranteed delivery timing.
You seem to start with an assumption that ARM Holdings would license their technology under a Free license to the FSF. If they don't, then you're back to what Stallman told you 2 years ago - hardware is not trivial to copy.
Columbia was in a very different orbit than ISS, and had nowhere near enough fuel to get there.
Han Solo never had fuel problems. And could go anywhere he wanted in a flash. Was Columbia really so poorly designed it could not match Han Solo's 1977 technology?
Doesn't this mean that all videos critical of religion can potentially be subject to similar orders?
No. It does mean that all videos where the cast has been duped into starring in a film of a completely different nature than they thought they were making can potentially be subject to similar orders though.
Google, Apple, etc simply balked at the rent/taxes they would have to pay to locate somewhere with a good workforce, and instead camps outside the city limits and cherry picks employees with private buses to take advantage of the city without having to pay for it.
Google located itself next to Stanford University. I'm not sure you're reading the right motives into their reason for locating themselves where they are.
The first year is free and then they charge $1 a year.
That was what they said up front, but shortly before the Facebook deal was announced, I got a message from them saying they were extending my free period for another year. I guess they didn't want to risk demonstrating to Facebook while they were in discussions that most people are going to use it for the first year while it's free, then go elsewhere.
Not to nitpick, but it's likely that *most* ARM chips made actually sell for pennies
Not to nitpick, but the cheapest chips with ARM cores inside are a couple of dollars. Your link mentions 8051 microcontrollers being found inside SD cards, but 8051 microcontrollers are not ARM chips. It also mentions a Samsung eMMC chip with an ARM instruction set, but that eMMC chip is likely to cost a few dollars.

Apple's own webpage also lists Honda, Jaguar and Hyundai as coming this year alongside those three, and a bunch of others following later.

You would never have been able to get a job at the Dyson factory with that on your CV.
But that's military aid, which is an important part of the global war on humanity.
India also supports other developing countries in a way which makes much more impact than the raw dollars they put into aid - patent-free medicine.
Given the relative populations of London and the North of Scotland, I'd say that Scotland is getting more than its fair share of attention there.

If its standardized instead of the mess of proprietary buses we have now, it will reopen the possibility of replacing components.

Cars do seem to be catching up with Windows on that one at least.
