the automap operator [*] maps each element of the vector into the equation one by one. i have seen one other language that has such a feature, but i don't remember what it was.
does it set a precedent on government's ability to violate international patents at will?
there is already a precedence.
as RMS likes to point out in his talks about patent law, in the US, patents are not enforcable against doctors.
this is no different.
Unification of Windows 2000 and Windows NT Access control lists (ACLs) with UNIX Access control lists. Allow Windows clients to directly manipulate UNIX Access control entries as though they were Windows ACLs.
to make this work on linux you need to apply the ACL patches to your kernel.
so this means that families will be forced to actually agree on what they watch, even though everybody has their own tv.
i like that;-)
but it also means that i can't record one channel, while i watch another, drat!
no, i admit, i did not link these preapproved credit cards with identity theft.
but if the problem is not the money taken from the cards but the result in your credithistory, then again the cards are not the problem, but the fact that a credit history exists in the first place.
i find the whole credithistory thing phony, that should be outlawed (and i am pretty sure that is the case is in most of europe)
what do you mean by hide?
if you look at the pictures provided in on of the links, the rj45 port is clearly visible.
it just does not work unless you remove the usb->ethernet card.
my point is, that this could have been an accident as well as being intentional, because there is nothing that indicates that it must have been intentional.
it's not fair to just assume that they have bad intentions, when they could be just plain stupid.
you are missing the point.
the goal of usb is to make ps/2, paralell and serial ports go away, and replace them with one general solution.
the mac did this 10 years ago.
needing half a dozend different ports to support a dozend different devices is just plain bad design and very sad.
(using usb for computer networking is a different matter, if that is a good idea remains to be seen)
but that is exactly what they did.
a builtin USB-->Ethernet adapter
granted, they could have used an external one, (actually i got such a beast with my cable modem a year ago).
but, that's an extra device, more difficoult to use (and just plain annoying: why should i have an extra device when i can have it built in)
the fact that the USB-->Ethernet adapter conflicts with the ethernet-card is bad design (very bad) and thus just plain stupid, but it does not contitute a malicious act.
and not thinking about linux is just short sighted, nothing more.
what exactly indicates that they have gone out of their way to stop linux from working?
they use USB surely to avoid having to add a networkcard to the users pc. considering that all machines come with USB nowadays, but not necessarily with a networkcard, this is a GOOD IDEA.
and it is definetly not their problem that linux USB support is not up to par.
before anyone complains about lacking linux-support by this company, test the USB support in linux first (and then help get it finished)
since this thing not only requires linux and X11, i don't see how this is more than a fancy xml-programmable window manager.
it may become more in the future. but calling a window manager an OS is a major exaggeration.
for it to be an OS it would need to allow me to log into it, and create an environment where i can run programs without them being aware that they are actually on a different system (the linux host).
i have seen nothing of that in the description.
it can be worse than poweroutages:
our office building had 2 sceduled power downtimes for a full day!!!!!
very annoying, i tell you. (our stuff is colocated fortunately)
most officebuildings simply are not managed with 24/7 uptime requirements in mind. we were just one of the smaller offices, and i can't see how we could have demanded that they simply never power down...
since i think it's pretty much impossible to provide your own power in case of longer outages, your only option is to ask whoever you are leasing from, if they guarantee full uptime, and provide backup strategies, or just use a colo

yes, i just saw this in one of the two videos on kickstarter.
it lets you manually filter the output of ls for example.

you do have the right to leave your car unlocked and the keys stuck.
even if you do lock it, someone could break the window and steal it.
