It depends whether we can manage to use existing hardware to accelerate decode.
My devices that can handle streaming video include a TiVo, PS3, PS4, and an Amazon fire stick. All of them are software upgradable. A lot of smart TVs are Android based, so they are as well. A company like Netflix has decent bandwidth savings if only a few percent of its users switch, and the switchover will be nearly invisible to them. The app will just query the hardware to find what codec is available.
Obviously there's no need for you to re-encode your videos. Storage is cheap, and recode causes generational loss so there's no benefit here.
That would make sense. Sadly research never makes a difference. People make decisions based on instinctive responses, which tends to be havily influenced by "squick" factor.
I will add though, there's more to it than the "stepping stone". We don't really want to see normalisation of paedophilia.
Apparently it has sensors that detect spin speed, count number of spins and the like. The app allows you to challenge others to - I dunno - see who can spin fastest or something.
Whether this answers your question or not, I have no idea.
Power companies can do the same as home owners. The falling costs benefit them as well, and they don't have to pay retail prices.
Local storage needs to handle your peak night-time usage. This will fluctuate over the year. Storage over a population will fluctuate less. This means less storage and fewer panels are needed.
The other advantage of a central system is maintenance. Panels and batteries will eventually need to be replaced. A power company can have a steady replacement schedule. A home user can have some sort of lease agreement but then you're tied to another company, so don't have the self sufficiency
For the first 36 of those issues, you need local access. Someone with intent to cause damage, who has local access could probably do more damage to the ship than they could do using the computers.
Most of the remote issues are web based, so it might simply be an idea not to browse random websites.
Which could be used to affect an aircraft carrier in some way?
I doubt in practice the elevator will have such a free range of movement. Main benefit would be that the elevator could move into sidings for loading/unloading and allow others to pass. It looks like this has tracks, so a brake connected to the track should work.
It does feel like that old thing of a solution looking for a problem. We want our phones to do certain things. They do so already. Ubuntu can do the same, but not as well.
Are you calling 144â per year per line "negligible"?!? Will you pay me those 288â/year I'll be missing each year because of this?!? No, of course not.. Negligible my arse...
No. I'm saying it's negligible to them. It certainly doesn't cost them €144 a year to offer you roaming. But they're quite happy to raise prices for you, and blame EU regulations. Basically, your mobile operator is fleecing you and blaming EU regulations.
So, my market doesn't exist (low volume calls, quite a bit of data, rarely roaming, but roaming required)?
Of course it does. That segment is willing to pay €648 a year. Yes, you're in the "get fleeced" segment. It's not nice. I'm not defending the practice, but it's not because of the regulations. It's because phone companies are crooks.
Smaller operators (for example in small countries... I live in Luxembourg) will have more trouble to negotiate bit the big ones.
Fortunately, the regulations also determine what the companies can charge each other.
It doesn't change fact that I am now paying for people who travel a lot. By definition, people who travel a lot are larger earners. This means, the poor subsidize the the rich. Thank you EU..../me rolls eyes.
The amount made from mobile calls was small. But highly profitable, because they could charge on top of existing contracts. The difference will be fairly negligible.
The idea of some people subsidising others is fairly meaningless. The number of minutes you get for a certain price is about market segmentation; not how much it costs them.
Also, you have to understand that the telco companies still have their costs when you roam. It's a bad deal for them.
What are these costs? Half the companies operate internationally. Those that don't can work out mutual agreements with each other. You really believe it costs them €4 to give you whatever it was you used in a week in Portugal?
All their other prices are optimised to maximise the amount they can squeeze out of their customers as it is. Increase prices, they lose customers. Decrease prices, they lose money. There's nothing else to squeeze.
Google take active measures to reduce copyright infringement.
The vast majority of material indexed by Google is not infringing,
Their business model would be viable without infringement.
The Pirate Bay spent a lot of time mocking people who made complaints about copyright infringement.
The vast majority of material indexed by The Pirate Bay is infringing copyright, and this fact is obvious to most people. (Really, major movies from 2016 and 2017 are very unlikely to be given away for free).
Their business model relies on a high level of infringement.
Or perhaps she does, but the information in the article in no way supports what the headline says, without a hell of a lot of speculation.
Doesn't make a lot of difference. She's managed to engineer a situation where she doesn't have the ability to do so, and will probably be out of a job in a few weeks.
She's not that middle of the road. And really very authoritarian.
Slashdot really is not extreme leftist. Certainly there's a strong sense of liberalism and libertarianism, but politically, users are fairly centrist, at least by European standards.
If they have a patentable invention, they'll patent it. Patents have value. Other companies might want to licence it, or it might be something that can offer as part of a negotiation or settlement with another company.
Maybe they will. Maybe they won't. Depends on whether they think this will make money.

The fault is with Slashdot, which, inexplicably, chokes on Unicode.

People like to fidget.
But it's hard to work out what bluetooth adds to this.
That would be 326.9 Kelvin :)
It does seem bizarre to talk about "modern measurements" and use outdated units for those measurements.

Weird Al gets permission though.
Sure, he could rely on fair use, but I presume he doesn't want to spend all his time in court defending his rights.
Zillow is not suing at all. They're demanding someone takes down a website. There is an implied treat to sue but they're not at that stage yet.

If those instructions are in a computer readable format, pretty much any compressed file of an infringing work pretty much fits the precedent.
You're not alone. Surely Paris is where they're buried.
I think it costs a fraction of a bitcoin. When they were worth a few cents, this transaction cost was negligible.
What exactly are Apple's rules regarding programmable apps? Did they ban Conway's Game Of Life, for example?
Can't you just plug the HDMI cable in upside down?
