Indeed. But how careful have they been maintaining the office network and are there any known/unknown access points INTO the ATC network that they're not telling us about?
Security is about a way of thinking as well as deploying tech to seal up things. As often as not, someone did something "convenient" for themselves or others and did something that weakened or completely compromised the security somewhere.
In this case, the OTA's often about as good as basic cable these days, with the TV stations providing multiple feeds in addition to the network one. I'm only missing a few things like Discovery at this point- not sure if it's worth the $30-50/mo for Dish to get it.
Try.5 to 1 GHz and probably more as the year progresses.
You need to brush up on what's currently out there and the 33MHz chips are in things like the DS.
We use 500MHz stuff in our network monitoring probes. The Pandora will be fielding a 550MHz machine in it's stock clock config that can be clocked up to 900MHz.
YES. Just because it runs CE in one of it's applications, doesn't preclude Linux' use. In fact, CE is actually painfully limited in many ways compared to Linux- including in royalties ways...
If you were right about your line of thinking, then TI wouldn't have used OpenEmbedded on the Beagleboard and OpenPandora wouldn't be using it either.
Please, please, please stop repeating that old saw- as far as what a game developer is concerned about, there's nothing like what you're talking to.
There's a dozen different HIGH-LEVEL APIs. And it's no different in the Windows world. Low level APIs, there's only about two truly low-level ones (OSS and ALSA) and TWO mid-level ones (PulseAudio and Phonon)- and you don't usually need the mid-level ones because they handle the low-level ones properly anyhow.
If you code to ALSA at this point, you will get pretty much everything you need (as this is the guts of the Linux sound subsystem at this time...).
If you use SDL, you get basic higher-level sound for free.
If you need positional audio, you're going to need at least OpenAL (Which is used on Windows and MacOS), FMOD (Ditto...), Miles (bit pricey, but also the same story...), IrrKlang, or others.
Novell pinned it at that back three years ago at BrainShare.
If you go off of the web stats line, you're missing that many sites that are covered aren't of interest to Linux people or that if they are, there's very much a bunch of us out there with altered browser idents (You CAN alter that, you know...) so that they look like an XP box so that the sites out there that're stupidly coded won't block them out because only "Windows" machines are supported...
If you go off of things like IDC figures, you're dead wrong there. That's based off of reported sales of given OSes. With Linux you don't have to buy to use. Moreover, the "reported sales" of Windows are off by a bit always.
In the case of XP, I've two machines that they claim as "sold". NEITHER are running it right now.
In the case of Vista, I've a laptop they're claiming as one of their sales. Sure it's sold. But it's not being ran on it, nor will it ever be.
You can't base things off of the numbers out there right at the moment because they're either measuring it in a flawed manner or you're relying on honesty out of the people reporting it, etc.
For that matter, you DO know that many people change their user agent (such that it looks like XP or Vista to the website...) so that they don't run into issues with the website being perfectly okay on Firefox on Linux, but the website's scripting blocking them because "that's not supported- we only support XP, etc...".
You can't go off of those figures. They're utterly and abjectly meaningless because they don't sample the things most people think they do.
Do you think Apple explicitly controls macally's peripherals or just about any other Bluetooth or USB peripheral manufacturer for that matter?
If you do, I've got some nice dry seaside property on the middle of the Florida coastline to sell you.
The only hardware Apple controls is the stuff THEY sell themselves. The Macs themselves and the peripherals they sell for them. Everything else is much like the PC world (including those blasted keyboards...) and largely interoperate.
Excuse me...some of those things "Joe Sixpack" wants are where the damn security issues with Windows comes from.
The customer's MOSTLY right MOST of the time. The customer always being right lets you have them walk all over them and sometimes they're just so wrong they should be told so. Nicely, mind, but told all the same.
And it doesn't happen the way you talk to in your examples in most cases. Spare us the crap, please.
They said the same things about Vista as well and they're NOT buying the stuff unless they absolutely have to and then they try to find a way to run XP on the stuff if they can. It's not going to be all that much different with Windows 7.
Keep believing that this works the way you think it will- and we'll just keep going forward without all of that. Seriously.
Actually, for the longest time, MS was going to move the Sidekick over to WinCE- they were even gearing up for it. Unfortunately, after many months of this (A year ago, in reality...), they have announced that they're doing it with a *BSD core and they're HIRING *BSD devs for it.
If you're doing what you're claiming, you don't spend 12 months doing it that way and then gear up for the other OS that you don't sell...doesn't look good to investors to spend 225 billion or so on someone to do something like this.;-)
The thing is, I think the GP poster is referring to the fact that the best consumer protection is to flat-out state that EULAs, in the large, are not legal. The WoW case is actually one where someone could define an End-User License Agreement (because you're using their servers, etc...), but pretty much everything else is not applicable because of the reasoning that they used in their argument there.
The problem is, they CAN'T drop the case. This is a hearing for the Opposition's counter-suit. The only thing they can do here is move to dismiss (which is what they're doing here...) and if the Judge doesn't buy the motion's premises, she won't do anything of the sort.
This is very, very far removed from what they want happening. Especially if it's televised.
Although, compared to several years ago, I do find at more and more websites people fanboying for Microsoft. Which I find perplexing - with Linux I can understand as it's as much a movement than anything - but why shill for a corporation that doesn't give a shit about you?
I suspect that the relationship's probably more akin to the one Belkin had with their "reviewers".
You're in Canada... How in creation could you know which party presented and approved those laws, hm?
These sorts of laws are on the books everywhere- and it's not just Democrats passing them, it's as much the Republicans. Stop thinking in partisan terms here- those two parties are flip sides of the same coin these days.

That's more because of TDP, I suspect.
With WHAT resources?
They lost about 125 Billion in valuation by the end of last year.
They spent most of that vaunted cash warchest in stock buybacks and dividends last year.
They don't HAVE something that will actually fit into this space and work the same way as the Linux apps do.
Because Atom, for all it's niceness, is not really as good at this sort of stuff than the ARM is.
An ARM11 can manage well on things under Linux- about as well as an Atom manages XP.
A Cortex-A8 does stunningly well on things under Linux- as good as anything out there right now.
We won't even get into the Cortex-A9. When it comes out, it'll be 2-4 times faster than the A8 at the same basic power dissipation.
An Atom based netbook manages nicely on about 1/3 the battery of a comparable Laptop.
An ARM device manages 2-3 times longer on about 1/3rd that.
Slow?

Angstrom's actually the big play in this space.
All one needs to do to have GPS with the N800 is a Bluetooth GPS unit.
It's very possible to have it act as a GPS nav unit.
It has nothing to do with the "extra cost", because there's none for Microsoft.
This is about charging whatever they feel like for things. Which, in and of itself is okay- it's just what they're feeling like is a bit bogus.
I honestly hope they do this so that people can see the truth of this bunch. :-D
Arrrgh!

Pick one and go.

Do you know this for a fact?
What sites does Net Applications cover?
For that matter, you DO know that many people change their user agent (such that it looks like XP or Vista to the website...) so that they don't run into issues with the website being perfectly okay on Firefox on Linux, but the website's scripting blocking them because "that's not supported- we only support XP, etc...".

Unfortunately, no, it's not.
They're not selling the OS. They're selling the phones which use an OS.
Doesn't breach their non-competes with SCO, sorry.
Actually, for the longest time, MS was going to move the Sidekick over to WinCE- they were even gearing up for it. Unfortunately, after many months of this (A year ago, in reality...), they have announced that they're doing it with a *BSD core and they're HIRING *BSD devs for it.

It might be "embrace", but you can't do any more than "extend" there. As long as the *BSD crowd's interested it'll be around. Much like Linux will be.
No, this is notable because it's an open admission that WinCE can't cut it .

The problem is: Windows 7 != leaner than Vista.
It only feels that way because they cleaned a few things up.
