Basically it comes down to this: your images/video is your property, which is protected by the court system. Anyone wanting your property needs to file a case against you (be it criminal or civil) in order to compel you to release/destroy/stop sharing, etc. your images.
23,451,534 illegal immigants in the country now ( http://immigrationcounters.com/ ) Assume only 10% work (W2/W4 compliant - meaning the IRS "knows" about them), that means the IRS only has 10% of the illegal immigration in hand. And that is assuming the "identity theft" is not the malicious "steal from you or your credit" kind.
If you don't already know, illegal immigrants use identity theft to get jobs. They need a name, SSN and birthdate. Their payroll taxes are credited to whomever legitimately owns the SSN, thereby working under that person's identity.
I have an Atrix and all the Moto apps suck. And something as simple as entering text into them is noticeably delayed. And its common to all the moto apps. What the hell is it doing?
I usually replace the motocrap with free stuff from the market.
My favorite was the image viewer in the SMS app. It only shows the image 1/2 size, for 8 seconds, then puts it at 1/4 size. No idea how or why, or how to turn it off. So I switched to GoSMS Pro.
Well, I have an Atrix now. I had iPhones up to the 3GS.
Android multitasking flat out sucks. My android friends try to say "Oh But Android *really* multitasks" and that's true, but the complete wrong solution. FWIW, iOS multitasks too. Just fine. It's Apple's restrictions that make them register a background function that is metered out. Why do they meter it out? To make the battery last!
Full-on multitasking is the wrong approach on a battery-powered device. You have to change your accounting method to account for battery usage. Android (as evidenced by my Atrix) has not done that. My phone only lasts 17 hours, 24 if I am lucky. Both 3G service.My 3GS lasted 3 days. My Atrix takes all day to charge. My 3GS charged in just a couple hours (same USB port)
So yeah, Android multitasking is to blame, but not for the reasons you might think. My dual-core Atrix is plenty fast. Too fast even. I'd down-clock it if I could to save battery.
No, LGPL only requires you publish changes to the library itself. GPL and LGPL in no way prevent you from commercial sales or distribution. They do require you to distribute your source code changes - for LGPL changes to the library, and for GPL, your whole app. neither prohibits selling.
Your app store may have its own restrictions though.
The author of your linked-to article is a moron. Qt is by far approaching it s best and most useful stage yet. Elop chose poorly, but lets face it, the board put him in to make the decision that he did. Meego was not as refind as iOS or Android, but wther is WP7. But you know, you get $10B for sucking from the MS teet, kinda makes it a no-brainer.
Still, Qt and Meego advance. I was bummed by the Nokia announcement, but really, the coolest stuff ever in Qt has happened in the last couple months.
I think Nokia will fill the contractual obligations to get the $10B and then go back to Qt/Meego.
Here's why. Qt5 will have the maturity needed to accomplish the following: Whole client-side programs written in Javascript (QML) that use OpenCL/GL and web resources. (Better than Flash) LGPL (Better than Flash) Client and server apps (Better than Flash) One platform for Web, Phone and desktop (same as AIR)
Qt went 4.8-rc-1 recently with all these features, but when Qt5 comes out it'll have the maturity it needs. SceneGraph went into mainline today.
I've got a lot of sympathy for the Brits. Our government is based off theirs, and at times they do a better job of protecting their citizens rights. But sometimes, not. Our Bill of Rights was formulated with being under the more oppressive side of the British government.
The internet is becoming less and less free every day. Eventually everyone will need to use a certificate just to make a socket connection.
I think well get it cheap enough that drug lords from around the world will be able to deliver directly to homes by space plane. It sure beats subs/ultra-lites, and good old ground transport.
At $1000/kilo, isn't that acceptable transport fee for some drugs? (Assuming 100% success) These people are now constructing submarines!!
I've run into an increasing amount of sites that won't let you "delete" or "turn off" your account. At best you can hide it. The worst I've come across is one where you have to pay them for deletion. But 10 years later, I really don't care to be associated with that car forum/demographic anymore.
Of course, we all agree to this as it is buried in the "Terms Of Use"
So Global Warming is supposed to take place over centuries. The operational lifetime of WiFi equipment is 10 years at best. (Anyone still using just 802.11b?) We wouldn't develop new standards and better equipment to deal with the environment?
This is Sony's fault. They should take every CC number they have, go to Visa, Discover, or MC and say. "We've had an epic data breach and we need to protect our customers. These are their card numbers. Please bill us." If they can't go directly to Visa or MC, then the first several digits encodes the issuing bank. They should then go to that bank and repeat the request fro the customers of that bank.
I thought they would have learned that with enough private sector forensics, everything gets traced back to them? Didn't DHS in Conjunction with Siemens and Israel write this?
There are two ways to have a job. Be the boss, or be the worker. Inventors are just engineers that are their own bosses. These people take a huge risk (no regular pay check) but get huge rewards (cuts of thousands or millions). These people amass patents, and the like. They negotiate their rates. They are the true engineering cowboys.
Contrast that to your typical engineer in a low-risk situation. Steady wages, but no patent portfolio (the company owns those). Clearly, we all expect to be a cowboy with some big discovery, but we fall into the comfortable wage job.
Think about every famous engineer. They did it on their own. Or close to. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs & Co., Tesla, Bell, Edison... They came first, their companies came later.
Carbon dioxide is not the key here. After all, Mars and Venus are both primarily CO2 atmospheres (Earth:Nitrogen). However the two planets have vastly different temperatures, even after accounting for Venus's increased solar radiation. What I think is the key here, is pressure at the surface. Releasing more CO2 on Mars won't increase the greenhouse effect (diminishing returns), but it will make the surface atmosphere denser, which means higher surface temperatures, at least until it gets stripped away by the solar wind, because Mars does not have a protective magnetic field.
Which brings in my model of how it all got there. After the magnetic field died, the solar wind stripped the atmosphere until it wasn't dense enough to maintain liquid water... Then the same came true for gaseous CO2. Logically it accumulated in the first place it started to get cold enough to solidify. I doubt we'll see it get released due to 1) still not mag field and 2) its in the last place to heat up.
Um, everything shipped these days is metric. I work on cars for fun. Sometime in the 90s, everyone was using metric on domestic vehicles. As far as I know, the only complicated machinery still in production using imperial units are lawnmowers.
How long does that take? Can someone interrupt the process? Can you trust DD?
A drill takes less time, does not require a running computer that you trust, if it is interrupted in the short time, you'd know. DD can be stalled by bad blocks as it tries to write. A drill doesn't care.

Hrm, then my Android friends have been wrong all along. I'll enjoy sharing this with them.

The platters warp as well, meaning that no head will travel over it.
The margins between the heads and platter are extremely small. The platters will warp making the disk unusable.
How long does that take?
