Several years ago I wrote a transport mechanism on top of VNC that allowed you to access high end graphics services (read OpenGL) from devices without any hardware acceleration to speak of
What was this project called? The functionality sounds very similar to VirtualGL, but the history sounds like a different project.
In that (quite interesting) post the author frequently wonders "WTF were they thinking?". E.g. did they think we would not notice that the screens on all the computers on both floors were identical?
My wife is from China where not so long ago everthing was identical, down to the progaganda art on the wall. Her immediate answer when I asked her was "duh, they don't care what the delegates thought, the whole exercise is to show pictures to the local NK population about how the great foreign technical leaders liked the NK technical office".
I think we tend to forget that: it isn't the delegates that Pyongyang is afraid of, its their own people.
If you want Thunderbird to act like Gmail then you need to:
1. (like above) put replies in folder being replied to. (I also put sent messages there, so the whole conversation's in one place)
2. Install the Thunderbird Coversations add-on. I like the conversation view better than Thunderbird's default. It also lets you reply on the same page if you want.
Just look at the software universe with all these individuals and companies using GPL products, contributing back so everyone benefits. If this parasite continues who knows how many hours might get wasted on doing real work instead of reinventing the software wheel, and messing with licensing servers.
Oh, wait, trying to compare communism to GPL software (which is what Stallman promotes) is like saying "I don't want everyone to share this nice view," since if we had a painting of the view and all tried to posess it simultaneously it wouldn't work. Software isn't a physical good; you can copy it without taking it away from someone else.
What card are you running that has limited palette? I haven't had that since I gave up my ISA Trident 9000 card. (For sake of argument I'm considering a 24-bit RGB signal as "unlimited". Consumers aren't going to go worrying about a 10-bit LUT in their hardware).
Karen Sandler has a great talk about how pacemaker-type devices (she has one) are completely closed-source, nobody (including the doctors who install them) cares, and the FDA doesn't/can't do much more than rubber stamp the software. Most of these devices now have unencrypted wireless access.
sudo kill -9 heartbeat Is a real possibility with these devices.
For places that need better passwords, $ md5sum - lot of random text pounded on the keyboard and result is something like 24a53bc05c6f216e340aa8d5dc08b605
That checksum becomes the password.
Using an md5sum greatly reduces your keyspace, so while it may still be strong enough for your needs, it's significantly weaker than you'd expect for a 32-character password.
[0-9a-f] is 15 characters. 15^32 = 4 x 10^37
Using a normal key range: [0-9a-zA-Z+symbols] 62 + ~32 symbols on a standard US keyboard = ~94 characters. 94^19 = 4 x 10^37
Thus, you are entering in 32 characters but only getting the strength of 19.
"It's a wonder" NIK282000 can spout off like this. It's very easy to be against having a wind tower in your back yard. Many people buy or live on rural properties for the aesthetic value. They're sick of the skyscrapers downtown. If you put up wind towers it looks like an alien moonscape to many (and in case you haven't actually been around, out in the country they go up in droves; there's never one, there's rows of them stretching to the horizon). So, drastically affect the aesthetic value then a) people want to move out and b) people don't want to move in. It doesn't take a genius to see what's going to happen to property values. (I know someone who's ~$1million farm lost 30% value). If what is essentially a lack of zoning took $300k from you then you'd probably be "wondering" a little less.
Again this is a zoning issue. We have laws so you can't open a gravel pit/industrial factory/etc. wherever you want so people can have peace of mind about property values. Wind towers are no different, except since it's "green energy" people seem to put on their stupid hats before thinking about it.
At least hitting the DHS' SNR should be easier: The Romans could ignore everyone else once they got their man. The DHS has to consider everyone a person of interest.
Fair enough. Since GCC 4.1 was released over 5 years ago maybe we're really discussing software projects simply not taking advantage of what's available.
I don't disagree but I think, by the same token, people that can't (or are too lazy to) read the assembly are less likely to have the m4d sk1lls (or attention span) to do something very serious with/to the anti-virus program. But, as you say, once you get into "ticked the general populace off" territory (instead of just "highly-skilled dude working for evil overlord for big$" territory), having the easier-to-read source laying around won't help.
This means the black hats pretty much have a roadmap to use to trash Kaspersky AV. Even if they didn't use much of the previous code it most likely will allow them to see how the Kaspersky AV team treats PC resources like memory, giving them a good idea of where the weak spots are. Bad news for Kaspersky users I'd say.
The moment you give someone your binary you've given them your code, just in a harder to read format. Any black-hat that cares will merely read the disassembly. Original source code not required.
You'll note I said "many" OBs, not all. But if you are around much you will find in some circles an incredibly arrogant and ignorant attitude among some OBs.
I suggest if you have another child you (well, your wife and kid) would benefit from looking at the real situation with mid-wifery, and the real outcome statistics since in the end that's all anyone (should) care about. Many types of complication can be dealt with by midwives, others are just as easy to take care of when they co-ordinate with the hospital and you're not far away. And yes, there are some emergencies that you could only deal with immediately in a hospital, but you're balancing those against the very real fatality rates of increased risk of infection in the hospital. (And of course, just because you have a midwife doesn't mean you can't give birth in the hospital, unless your hospital is of the previously mentioned ignorant attitude.) Anyway, for uncomplicated pregnancies the stats don't point in the traditional OB/hospital's favour.
This is an anomaly. The medical community(doctors in particular) doesn't cotton to these sorts of antics from outsiders. Just wait to this becomes more widely known amongst the Doctor fraternity. It will become like mid-wifery - a fringe practice prone to potentially costing your baby its life.
To clarify, you mean how many Obstetricians consider mid-wifery "a fringe practice prone to potentially costing your baby its life", despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary?[1]

Imagine 50 Million for Wine.
One could be hung over for long time on that. Unless, of course, you meant to say "imagine $50 million for improving Free apps so Wine isn't needed".
Ultimately, eCommunism is parasitic.

Unless I just uncovered the fallback plan: if it doesn't work out then Blame Canada!
That's your phone ringing. A phreak from the 80's begs to differ:
{cheap, secure enough}: choose one.

Maybe they just fixed their usage of V4L. A lot of cameras didn't work unless you did a stupid hack like :

I think that the lack of guided optimization on gcc is a fair indication that Microsoft offers a better compiler
Maybe I've misunderstood your meaning, but wasn't the whole point of this article that with a newer gcc you can use guided optimization and link-time code generation ?
Maybe its just because I use MSVC and gcc every day, but when MSVC lacks even C99 support I find it hard to call it a "better compiler".

Some time ago there were hints & speculations that Samsung bada mobile OS might use some Enlightenment libraries.
Considering that Samsung hired Carsten Haitzler, the main figure behind E17, that wouldn't be too far fetched.
