ARM is flawed in a way that lends well to efficiency and terribly to raw speed. Trying to make a 35 or evenis 100 watt ARM chip to compete with even a low clocked i3 will yield embarrassing results
Because that wouldn't impress management's management. They want shiny remote controls so they can tell their bosses that the plant can be adapted 24/7 at the touch of a button. Makes their ego's swell.
No it's not. I work for a 160branch chain of stores and it is a blanket company policy than none of the 7000 employees that is not exec or personel management is allowed to have a phone on in the building or take a call as a "security measure". This applies in the head office as well as all branches and is carried out by all of our competitors on some level. 3 strikes against this and you are stacked on the spot to protect corporate secrets.
It's beyond me what qualifies as a secret to a retail clothing chain but my god, it must be important.
And thus here is the problem. A carrier should not tell you that 'you are not allowed to run a server', he should tell you that 'running a server probably won't work because you haven't got a dedicated static IP'. That would be neutrality.
To explain, technically I am in breach of Googles rule if I run any PC game with peer servers or P2P connectivity for a few hours with friends. In a situation like that it doesnt matter if my IP and NAT are going to completely change tomorrow, but according to Google I have breached thier TOS.
Rather than ban how I want to use their service due to their preconceptions of problems they would have implementing it, they should not restrict our service, rather educate us on its limits.
So did Apple with the iPad and iPhone. Nobody really wanted an app store and certainly didn't want non-interoperable portable devices, before the iPhone.
Wait, your argument for "the worlds most advanced operating system" not having options is that it would scare your non tech savvy family into not doing work?
Very funny, you actually want the OS to insult your intelligence. Why don't Macs just have an "advanced" tab for all the deeper stuff like any non-stupid person would do? Is that too intimidating for you as their system admin?
Doesn't mean he was at fault stupid. Nobody said he wasn't breaking the law by doing thse things, only that the actual crash could have been the fault of the cyclists.
Maybe it's hard to see from your perspective but the French, the Americans and maybe the Islamic states are pretty much the only people I know of that have a majority that think their people are better than *everyone* else. That very cultural superiority complex isn't really shared by the rest of the EU. Further to that cause the rest of Western and Central Europe tends to be quite accepting of each others cultures and nature, which was very much a quality required to maintain the Union in the first place and not really a typically French quality (hence your hoity-toity comment). The rest of the EU is accepting of the nature of the French, as it is a nature that has existed for a long time and has not changed over time, hence the lack of a 'growing void'. The fact that you don't even refer to the EU, but the European Economic Community, only one small treaty that would have no impact on spying, immigration nor culture speaks volumes about your interest in the economic benefits. Your gov't has tightened the reigns on immigration everywhere he could non-stop since election. You don't automatically get nationality from marriage, and can't immigrate if they evidence that you would place a burden on the economy, two majorly unfair exceptions it has to EU law in general.
Britian on the other hand have very VERY liberal foreign policy and are extremely accepting of immigrants. To the point where the there is growing consensus over in the UK is that immigration is a terrible plague upon the country that has been let happen far too much, but typically reserved British culture means that most (historically) British people fear being called xenophobic or racist far too much to actually express that, not to mention the EU law restrictions.
Combine that with the Historically British soon being considered a minority by 2016 and I would argue that Britain doesn't really have an ability to have differences with the rest of the EEA on a civilian level as it's people ARE mainly from the rest of the EEA (and South Asia). On the level of the veiled dictatorship however, is a different matter.
And that 'sweeping generalisation' is also known as closet racism. Oh, and PRISM is an entirely US concoction. Oh, and Germany also has a helluva lot to say about this... seeing as PRISM resembles Nazi era surveillance.
The French cultural norms are far removed from the rest of Europe. Even now, they act like they like to be part of us because they understand the economic benefits, but they shun local migration, spit on the non French, and generally act like the Japanese with their no-gaijin policies from time to time.
A bit like America really, just quite a bit more xenophobic.
One day you're going to realise that the world you see and the world you live in are not the same place due to your ignorance of unseen forces. Yes, he's confident in your eyes. Arrogantly so. He's a ex-spy on the run. If I was I'd be trying to come across unflappable to the public so I am not seen as vulnerable and don't get nabbed by some two bit wannabe-hero moron at a service station later on down the line, not to mention that there is a point in your life where you know you may die for something and everything else stops mattering. That's a great confidence builder.
Much more important however is your neglect of the fact that any paper worth a damn is in corporate or political pockets. There are no politically neutral newspapers and all of them a vulnerable if they speak out. Never mind the local newspapers, even the NYT isn't too big to get stomped on for posting something like this. Once the cat's out of the bag though, there's too many people running the story and the administration would have to 'coerce' the entire press in order to teach them a lesson, but by that time, everyone already knows and it's pointless.
When you fight a foe this big, fire all guns at once, because firing one gun is only just going to reveal it's position and get it stomped or 'adjusted'... then all of a sudden nobody will fire because of the precedent set.
A news outlet is a business. It has livelihoods to look after, not to mention fatcats. Most newspapers don't care enough about the gov't to throw all of their life's work away. And yes, outlining classified CIA/NSA information on surveillance equipment is very, very illegal. Even now, the press is not talking about anything that Snowden hasn't already broadcast publicly. Nobody want's to be the source of this information for fear of being silenced.
The same goes for your Congressman. You really think ANY of them give the slightest shit what you want. Sure they want votes, but that's not going to make them campaign to remove the powers of a federal authority that spends most of it's time in the public eye being completely above the law, committing several thousand crimes a day, finding people who are hiding, framing others for their death, and shooting people. A lot.
Hell no, besides, your Congressman has an image to maintain... what would all those investors think?
Only if you think there is just planets in our solar system. The major rocks in the kupier belt, not to mention extrasolar objects like asteroids coming into Sol's gravity well all do so on a non 2D plane. Plus your statement is only really accurate if you discount recently deposed sub-planets like Pluto and Ceres.
Also, what about moon orbits around Jupiter for example... They are definitely not 2D.
All of this information I learned from junior high by a rather passionate teacher and I'd hate for the odd good teacher to not he able to use $30m worth of new engaging tech just because nobody could he bothered to write a 3D space application.
Law is the huge limiting factor, I believe. Big business likes holding patterns, it keeps profits predictable if the world around it is as stable as possible.
Umm how about this. Methane rises. Fracking occurs below the underground water reservoirs.... rises through loose rock (nearly all rock is loose enough to let gasses seep through it), methane either reaches the reservoir and get's drawn into the plumbing for the water supply or carries on rising until it's in groundwater.
You should always distrust scientists that are wheeled out to support the more moneyed interest. If it's controversial in those cases, its for a reason.
In the Climate fiasco, we have oil interests with billions of dollars hiring PhD's specifically to debunk GW, and paying marketing teams a large sum to do the same. That's why most of the US doesn't believe it's a big deal.
In this case, we have "Petroleum " geologists doing the same thing. No offence to them but if you tell me you're a PETROLEUM geologist then I expect you to be working for someone with a large interest in petroleum.
Because it's virtually the SAME as DNS, it's just headless in a sense. That 'head' has to be added for each specific use via a plugin defining how to find other 'heads' (basically, a plugin must be added that describes to Windows how to find another iTunes on the network, and it must be non-standard else anyone could just start randomly spamming requests from the web to DDoS etc etc).
Stop listening to the idiots that tell you Bonjour is mDNS, it may use mDNS
Look you can argue semantics all day. The point is, to add the plugin to the Windows TCP/IP stack might have required 100 lines of code at most. To write an entirely new stack required several thousand. But they wrote it in Objective C and compiled it against Mac-native APIs rather than Windows ones that do the same thing, adding around 100,000 lines of code to your RAM to carry out a function that they could just have easily done with 100 lines of code. Why? To slow your PC down.
Either that or they were so stupid that they thought it would be easier to maintain a hypervisor (that translates Cocoa and other Mac APIs outputs into Windows compatible system calls at runtime, much like a virtual machine) than actually program an application for Windows.
Resolution has no effect on budget until the power of the console starts being limited by lack of resolution. Budgets went up every generation in the SD days due to new tech, not higher res. If people start going 4K this gen, games will look the same, except maybe the addition of sharper edges and a little more AA + AF. The only thing that will go up in price is the BOM for the console manufacturers for the new connector sockets etc.
Because it's impossible. I was mentored by someone on the project and getting us into decimalized time without destroying day/night cycles is impossible without some very complex today = 1231543425242.12412456413241342 second style problems.
And to address your points more precisely. mDNS is not a standard built into Windows and until iTunes came with OSX it was not built into OSX either. I'm not talking about that, Im' talking about the fact that Bonjour uses it's own service and stack and not Window's built in one, when it could happily, efficiently and easily run as a plugin to the Windows stack (much like IPv4, IPv6, QoS, most sharing protocols and many many other systems like printer sharing do).
Bonjour is non-standard in that it does not come with your PC (Windows or Mac). It is used to talk to other iTunes accounts on the network, and it used to be used for DRM of some Apple products (by making sure you did not run the same serial code at the same time on two machines on your network).
Apple should use the Windows network stack to network, the only systems that do not are highly time critical ones, and if you can argue that it needs that performance then it should ahve stopped using windows demuxer ages ago.
No, it uses it's own protocol because it is sandboxed with such terribly inefficient API code and hellishly convoluted processes that it can bring an AMD Sempron 3000+ to its knees on XP my tinker machine. Granted the AMD is not the new hotrod, but remember that's faster than any P4, Celeron D, Atom or single core laptop, and all it's doing is trying to play and keep a list of mp3s
Quicktime, like iTunes is also incredibly slow, unless it's playing QT files. It has zero place on any geeks hard drive unless it's a necessity (there are substitutes). My secondary q6600/560ti machine would have trouble playing 1080p on Quicktime, and no problems on ANYTHING else.
No, it allows for plugins to be integrated into the TCP/IP stack for as many protocols as you want, yet iTunes deliberately uses it's own protocol despite the fact that I have never seen ANY other application try to do that.
It's because Apple ported their own frameworks and API's to windows as substitutes to Windows' own in a decidedly 'F U' style move to Microsoft. The API was made to a functional state so that porting would be trivial but was probably deliberately poorly optimized, after all the slower Windows goes to the average consumer, the faster a Mac looks in comparison.
