Topic title and summary do not agree, since libre != proprietary, at least going by the FSF definition.
Kudos for the interest in having license terms less draconian that we see with most commercial software, but this does not make software "free/libre".
Not a lawyer here, but it seems to me as copyright holder, one can write any license terms at all so long as the licensee is willing accept them (and they are lawful; no clauses calling for sacrificing virgins, etc).
Evidence the fact that AMD has developed an adaptor board to allow the Geode to run with DDR2 RAM since DDR is becoming so hard to find. They would not put effort into supporting this chip if it were end-of-life.
Here's the dilemma â" how much freedom do you give to students?
This statement belies an unfortunate bias: that you *give* freedoms rather than have them innately. Freedom being the fundamental starting point, it is better to ask "in order to implement school policy, what minimum, lawful set of restrictions are needed?"
TFA describes video for traffic *stops*. Real-time video for traffic stops hardly seems to be a benefit beyond the recoded video we have seen for 20 years.
While driving, the Wifi client spends so much time and effort perform hand-off to the next of 500 access points, the packet loss is tremendous.
Most regions with Wifi mesh networks are turning them down or vastly scaling back expectations. Because Wifi was *never designed for active mobility*.
The sad part is when these Wifi abominations displace simple, effective dispatch radio for voice communications. The claimed savings will evaporate as legal costs mount when the first trooper dies because he could not call for backup while Cletus was streaming American Idol on the same AP.
Just how silly are the/. editors? Doesn't everyone know that SCOTUS is a polite medical term? If the submitter wanted to be rude, he would have said ballsack.
Electric car people, I want your vehicle to succeed... but please, let's be realistic.
In your minds, if GM doesn't make electric cars, they lose. If they do make an electric car like the EV-1, they lose even worse. The get screamed at for leasing them not selling them, taking them back and crushing them... the list goes on.
Now if you're going to take the time to respond to this, please answer me this: why should GM spend any time developing an electric car when electric cars have no marketshare?
Electric car folk see the problem that automakers don't make electric cars. The fact is electric car lovers don't support automakers. There are a million different homebrew electric cars out there. You already have market share working against you, and you realize that. What you don't realize is we think electric cars are hard to make anyway.
You really should do soemthing about this before you scream with a sense of entitlement that some company should spend time and money supporting electric cars when it is not likely to be financially viable.
I heard this second-hand, so take with a grain of salt.
When a CDMA phone is idle, and the network supports it, the phone enters "slotted mode". Slotted mode is where the phone sleeps for a period of time (potentially quite long time -- several seconds), then wakes up to determine if anyone is calling it, then goes back to sleep until the next slot. Obviously, this feature is a key to very long battery life.
Apparently a certain CDMA carrier with quite sparse network capacity in the rural areas, switches off slotted mode on long weekends. They found out that when everyone goes out of town, their network can't handle it. So they force all the cell phones to drain their batteries by switching off slotted mode. They found their customers are very upset when calls do not go through, but not upset if they have a dead battery.
Now I'm getting tired of this. My respect for the media has
disappeared, and I don't quite understand what has happened.
Today I was on the TV program SVT Debatt. And I am sick with
disappointment. Now I would like to explain how it is to be a part of
The Pirate Bay. I am really upset and this needs to come out.
Last week I was on vacation in Iceland with my girlfriend. It was the
first trip in quite a long time that had nothing to do with being part
of The Pirate Bay. On Friday I got a call from TV4 - who called my
cell phone but I had not given out that number. They put to me the
question "Why have you published pictures of murdered children on your
home page!?". In trying to determine what the woman on the telephone
meant, she explained that there is a preliminary police investigation
connected with TPB.
Evidently there is material from the autopsy, and the victim's father
became quite upset over the fact that it is available on the internet.
Very understandable, but unfortunately this can happen when public
documents are released. Like for example in the TPB case itself.
I'm trying to explain to TV4's journalist, "If there is some such
material linked on TPB it is a USER that has published the material,
there is not something TPB has done. TPB works like the Yellow Pages,
and has a list of numbers and contacts where material can be found.
We have not chosen any material there, it is done by the users wholly
and entirely." A few follow-up questions came, about different
things, and three hours later this was broadcast out on Swedish
national media: "The Pirate Bay has published pictures of murdered
children on its home page." TV4 lied, fully aware of the truth, and
it got big media as a result.
In the days that follow we try explaining to people how the internet
works. We even got to take responsibility for everything that exists
on the entire internet. Since the internet is a parallel of regular
society, despite having the same inhabitants in both worlds, it means
we practitioners often have to represent the painful side [to lay
folks]. There is a role we often play lately, to be the adversary
(just like the media that reports about us), and I think it suits
their purposes. On Sveriges Radio I've been called a terrorist by one
of "The Echo"'s most respected journalists, something that only later
became conditional according to Bert Karlsson.
Apparently the higher energy-density Li-S batteries use a compound called Thionyl Chloride, which is toxic, corrosive, and controlled as a chemical weapon. Not a comforting thought, having those flying around overhead, unmanned.
every person has US constitutional rights while in the US (not just citizens)
everyone is free to leave the US whenever they wish, this is a right
there is nothing magic about leaving, rights including 4th amendment applies, you cannot be searched just because you are leaving (drive/walk to Canada or Mexico to prove this to yourself)
generally US citizens cannot be barred from entering the US, but anyone else can be
special legal procedures apply to everyone when crossing into a country/region like the US, regardless of citizenship, ie. searching for contraband

Not true. Go here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Enabling_new_signing_key, follow the instructions and voila... updates available.
