AFAIK, that no longer works. You have to use Apple lossless now. My understanding is that they disabled the AAC method because they don't want people making their own ringtones.
Yes, it is a pain, it's unofficial and undocumented, and for all i know will break again in a future patch?

They do make it much harder than necessary to make ringtones. You can't just use any old mp3/aac/etc file, and all the documentation etc makes it seem like you have to buy ringtones.
Pretty annoying.. even my old locked down verizon LG phone had the ability to use bluetooth to transfer mp3s and midis to the phone for usage as ringtones.
I don't disagree that games CAN be made playable...but afaik, with the games you list--unreal, quake, etc--they have at various times implemented client side prediction and other methods to minimize the effect of lag. I remember in the days of quake1 when anyone with a sub-100 ping was a lpb:p I don't know how many games will ever be designed to work specifically with this kind of 3rd-party hosting.
Long story short, I don't ever see this technology in the near future working for that huge group of games that falls into the genre of "twitch" gaming.
To go back to what you said--that I was responding too--"have a lot more fun playing on your couch, reclined, with one controller in hand than you ever did sitting at your computer, back straight, staring at the comparatively tiny screen, using a few keys on one instruments to move around while the other controls your Z axis and firing"
Yes, I agree. I get every single benefit of that with my wireless mouse and keyboard.
The only thing in your whole post that DOESN'T work for a mouse/keyboard is standing up. A sacrifice I'm more than willing to make for the flexibility and greater useability of a mouse/keyboard.
Moderately interesting article, though it would be more interesting IMHO to see something similar done for PC games and user interface more generically.
What I don't understand about your post though...
On my cable modem connection right now, my ping to a dns server generally are between 20-30ms. Let's say pressing a key and transmitting it to "the cloud" takes 25ms on average. Now it's input to the game, the game's 66ms processing time takes place, and the result is streamed back to me...30ms+
We're now at a minimum of over 110ms latency assuming everything runs full speed and we don't get any "buffering" etc...
Now if ping times are closer to 40-50ms... I would expect that would be fairly unplayable...
I think this will open a whole new market for gaming to people who either never own consoles or people that do own consoles, and want to play last generation titles that they missed out on and no longer own the older system or don't; have it hooked up anymore (especially now that Sony took out PS2 backwards compatibility)
You really think so? Beyond really hardcore gamers, I don't think many people go back to play old games beyond certain classics... Most games just REALLY don't pass the test of time that well.
I mean as an example, I have a hard time going back to play Morrowind after Oblivion...and Morrowind is a game that STILL has a very active community. Likewise, Baldur's gate 1 after playing Baldur's gate 2 (or BG2 now at all), etc--they just don't satisfy the same way they used to. Graphics, interface, the whole package. I never had a PS1 but I bought FFVII for ps2--never could get into it. Obviously different genres are affected differently, but I don't really see this opening up obsolete console games to people who didn't care to have consoles in the first place.
The thing about shiftwork is while you can sometimes work 7-10 days in a row, you often then get that many (or more) days off. I had a schedule where I worked 2 weeks of days, 2 weeks of nights, and then a week off (never working more than 3 days in a row at a time).
I LOVED the schedule...I've never had more free time in my life, and time to do errands without taking off work, etc.
A lot of people gain weight. The ones who didn't were all very dedicated to staying in shapes. A few things I picked up that helped me out.
-Don't just grab chipotle/mcdonalds/whatever takeout before your shift starts. Bring a salad and a sandwich, or other food you make at home. You get to control the portion before you are hungry, you can make it healthier, and you save money.
-Take some breaks during the shift. Obviously this might not be possible depending on your job, but I used to go on about 1-2 mile walks during my night shifts at 3am. If you walk briskly you can easily do a mile in less than 20 minutes, so you don't even need that long a break.
Even if you don't want to do something like that, I would sometimes just spend 5-10 minutes jogging up and down the 6 flights of stairs... just anything that gets your blood pumping and doesnt involve vegging out in a chair is a good thing.
-Going back and forth between nights and days sucks and destroys your energy and your body. Stay on one schedule as long as possible. For better sleeping I got addicted to earplugs and an eyemask. Good sleep (and ENOUGH sleep) makes a big difference.
-Lastly, and this is the part that sucks the most and I could never manage...I knew people who after 13 hours on shift would go to the gym and jog for 45 minutes, do some light workouts, etc. I never felt motivated enough to do that, but all those people were in good shape!
I absolutely loved shift work and night shifts, but it DOES take a toll on your body and mind (which is why I stopped that job).
As I pointed out in my post, windows has BETTER backwards compatibility than almost all other OSes. Your argument is that because by far the vast majority of people in the world use an MS operating system, they deserve to get castigated for breaking a smaller percentage of apps than just about any other OS? That's just silly.
That's ridiculously silly...you're complaining that Microsoft partially broke compatibility with DOS -- an operating system from over 15 years ago? Come on, nobody is going to take your argument seriously if that's what it is (I guess that's why you were modded into Oblivion).
Show me one operating system that can run binaries from 15 years. Show me one operating system that can take source code from 15 years ago and compile it unmodified today.
I'm not sure you're going to find out, outside of possibly the big old unixes? Don't think FreeBSD can.
Given that windows CAN still run many dos programs out of the box (as of 32-bit vista) what more do you want? Mac OS can't run programs from about 7-8 years ago. Can linux run programs from 15 years ago? (we're talking before 1.0 kernel! a.out binaries! and I actually don't know if the latest linux release can run those old binaries or not...)
If you're talking source code compatibility, things have changed a lot too..NET would be the single biggest change i guess, but the Win16 and win32 APIs are still around...
Thank you for adding weight to my statement, even if that is not what you intended.
Right, I posted that link knowing what it said. The highpoint is noticeable as 1998. Check out section 1.2 of the comments draft paper for Carlin's graphs of similar datasets.
f you find the water vapour study please post it but also recognise that water vapour is a prediction of the models that depends on temprature and air pressure alone, it is not an input.
What about cloud formation?
I'm not sure if you are familiar with (or at all interested in) this, but the "Climate Audit" blog is fairly interesting in terms of looking at the methodology and math of climate models, etc. Climate Audit and Real Climate are somewhat infamous for having a vicious feud going on as well...
compatibility with legacy software has been dreadful - Microsoft practically forced the whole world into rewriting most of their applications for several times now
Can you point to *one* paragraph, "new study" or "data revision" in the report that you think is worthwhile debating?
Sure. I personally think that the Paltridge 2009 study on water vapor is very interesting. I'm having trouble locating it now, but one of the climate blogs I read every so often had an interesting article up on what I think was this same study. Long story short, anything that changes a substantial part in climate models IMHO deserves to be allowed as a comment.
I've also been interested in the changes and updates to climate surface stations in the US, but imho that's slightly less relevant for this paper.
1. He claims that tempratures have been trending downwards for the past 11yrs - this can be debunked by a simple google search [google.com.au] and is laughable to anyone who has looked at the temprate records.
Since you linked to skeptical science, I'll toss another link out there:
3. He complains the last IPCC report is 3 years old and thus out of date. - Fucking nonsense [realclimate.org].
What's nonsense? I didn't see anything in the RC link that clarified that?
They are the scum of the earth and I don't find it the least bit "bizzare" that the "slashdot crowd" are calling bullshit on this particular example of Machevelian politics.
Calling BS on, I never mind--if it's supported. I do mind mindless ad hominems and attacks that completely skirt the issue. Thanks for the reply, I believe you're the only person out of dozens that I've talked with that has actually raised any questions...
I just honestly don't see how anybody could read the email exchange linked to in the summary and NOT be disgusted...
As I already stated, the/. crowd isn't qualified to do that.
If the slashdot crowd isn't capable of doing that (which has never stopped it before!) then the slashdot crowd is equally incapable of ruling on the merits of his c.v...
Right, it's well established that he's an economist.
Does that somehow preclude somehow who works at the EPA from studying climate models and being intimately acquainted with them? Not as far as I know... (refer back to the GP quote "unless he has decided to dig into the climate computer models - which I doubt" -- I see no reason an economist with 40 years of experience working with environmental issues would NOT be able to "dig into" the climate models with a high level of aptitude.)
There is a lot of basically ad hominem attacks going on...reasons to explain why Carlin or his group's comments should be completely disregarded. I have yet to see any actual discussion of the contents! I'd be happy to partake in any such discussion...
Whatever else the slashdot crowd is doing, in all the threads I've been conversing in, I have yet to see *one* criticism of something in the Carlin paper, or *one* reason why any of his comments are wrong, off the wall, inappropriate, stupid, whatever else.
Take your comment for example--if you actually looked at the linked comments paper, it attempts to raise questions. Points to new studies, revised data, etc. I think Carlin/the team would agree with you that this is complicated subject -- all the more reason to not rush through it to satisfy political whims of the day! (I don't mean to imply that you are criticizing him)
The conversation is just aspersions on his educational background, his economic motivations, his honesty, etc etc etc. I'm serious, this strikes me as very bizarre...
Interesting, as a formal federal employee, my impression was this--if you are an appointee, you're obviously very impacted. If you're an upper level manager, you're affected. If you're one of the vast majority of lower- mid-level employees, your daily job changes very little.
Your observation that morale (that's how I'm interpreting your statement?) is the largest area impacted is one I do agree with.
Obviously people who work in "hot button" areas can be much more affected, but again, I don't think the vast majority of employees are.
And the part I found ludicrous--unless you're a political appointee, it's very, very hard to get fired from the government. If you perform poorly, you won't get fired--maybe moved around, but not fired. While many government employees are great workers and work really hard, IMHO there are far more deadwood and useless people who just can't get fired than in the worst corporations.. It's NOT hard to make it 30 years in government service, anybody can do it with minimal effort. (again, IMO)
Ok, you're absolutely right that it was disingenuous--or at least, stated poorly:p I tried to make a similar point in other posts (here, here, and here).
Haven't seen this big a flameup over someone's c.v. on slashdot in...ever?
I have no idea why when it comes to climate science / climate scientists the crowd on slashdot suddenly gets so defensive and so... rank oriented (for lack of a better term).
I'd like to see some of these same people posting in an article about a computer issue, stating that you can't trust someone whose degree isn't in computer science...
Ok, so it seems what you're basically saying here is, the guy's background is in physics and econonomics--he's not a climate scientist (btw, who is--do you have to have a degree called "climate science" or can other scientists count as well?) and so his writings on anything touching on the climate should just be dismissed (I notice that you haven't touched on any of the merits / lack thereof of anything he's actually written, so I assume this is your point of view)?
Lastly, since he doesn't fit in the "solid consensus," he should just get in line with the consensus.
You'll forgive me, but that doesn't sound like any kind of scientific community / environment that I would want to be associated with or promote, and I seriously hope you would agree. I don't think this has anything to do with what side of the "global warming debate" / whatever you want to call it you fall on.
btw, slightly off-topic, but it seems somewhat noteworthy that others were interested in the EPA's submission process of the IPCC as seen at: http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=6354
Alan Carlin has no place in any serious discussion about climate change.
Ok then, so what's the solution? He has a point of view you--and presumably the Obama administration--disagrees with. As a 38-year long government employee, should he be fired for his views? After all, if as you say, he has no place in any serious discussion about climate change, why NOT fire him?
Actually, you've got to like having a government salary and benefits.
Nah, you missed the point. If you're one of the zombie bureaucrats (of which there are many) you retire at 30 years, get your retirement and are done. To hang around for 38, you have to actually enjoy your job. (Many agencies won't let you hang around much longer than 30 eitheR)
His lack of a PhD in atmospheric science also says nothing. The fact is that we have no reason to assume this guy is qualified.
Agreed. This guy's undergrad and PhD almost 50 years ago together say NOTHING about the last 40 years of his working life. On that we're in total agreement. You then say we can't assume he's very qualified--very true again, IMHO being skeptical is wise. Which brings us to...
Wow, I have to say, I'm very surprised by how many people are willing to come out and really criticize this guy, ignoring the open access new era of government transparency pledges etc.
Let me put it this way--if I work the same job for 40 years, I hope people aren't going to be criticizing me not for my work, not for what I've said or written or done, but because of what my undergrad degree was in...
