DVI is HDMI without sound and video cards are not the best for sound and PC displays do not have more then 2 speakers any ways.
Does any PC display with HDMI have some kind of DD pass though or 5.1 or more analog out?
Video cards are as good for digital sound as anything. All they do is take the digital signal from your applications and send them digitally over HDMI. Barring driver bugs, it's just the same as any digital output on anything.
I think for DD pass-through a device has to support DD. I have my 360 connected to my TV and my TV connected to my surround sound and DD5.1 works fine. My TV doesn't support DTS though, so I have to connect my PS3 directly to my surround sound in order for that to work.
All the three you listed are electrically compatible. You can buy cables with a different one of those three sized connectors on either end.
The reason there are three different size USB connectors is for devices with different form factors. A mouse is fine for full size USB, a mobile phone will want micro-USB and something like a PS3 controller uses mini-USB.
Doctorow is making the argument that stuff like that is being proposed and fought for in the current copyright war. Desire for it may spread to other developed sectors of the economy.
If it's Intel v everyone else and they do it on an international basis as part of a treaty, it could happen. The argument being made is that we should be aware of and prepared for this kind of thing because if other sectors of the economy start to get as annoyed by general purpose computers as the *AA have then there would be a serious fight.
I looked in the PSN agreement last time I updated a couple of days ago and couldn't see it; I live in the UK though. This sounds like it would be totally unlawful here.
Oh, so this is on a users phone? (Yea I didn't read FTA).
If so, this is right up there with the previous scandal about Android keeping passwords in plaintext. In that case you had to be root to gain access them, meaning whether or not they were stored as plaintext would be a moot point. If you're root, then surely you can do anything including invoke any methods used for decryption. Same goes for this.
I'm from Blackpool and, back in the day, both main parties used to have their conferences here every other year. My parents operated a taxi so they always overheard lots of gossip from the MPs they were ferrying around.
Having the goings on in the back of a taxi being recorded by default would be staggering. No politician or business person could so much as have a phone conversation under those circumstances! I bet every pissant local government hack in Oxford will be trying to justify having a private driver, paid for by the council, when this comes into force.
Chrome devs have been quite vocal that if you don't like the design choices they're making with Chrome then you should go and use something else.
Google doesn't lock in our data and offers services for free (our eyeballs being the product, obviously, as they make money from advertising). If you don't like Google, don't use them.
I generally refrain from posting in Apple threads because, as much as what they do annoys me, nobody forces me to use their stuff and so I don't. I appreciate that this entire story is about the location bar, but that's just the editors trolling.
I've seen individual officers act out on demonstrations here in the UK. The one incident that always sticks in my mind is when, on an anti-Iraq war protest about 7 years ago, I saw a copper lunge into a crowd to grab a young teenage girl who was in tears and was swearing at him. As far as I could make out, she was upset that a friend of hers had been arrested. She was surrounded by several other individuals who were taking her away from the police and she actually had her back to him as she called him a "fucking bastard". The copper lost his cool and dived into the crowd to grab her; the other coppers on the line with him went in after to subdue everyone.
Unfortunately when one copper goes too far, instinct seems to kick in and the rest of them pile in to save their colleague. I guess their attitude must be "calm this down now, sort the mess out later".
The police really need to be open and honest about when they screw up public order policing and the need to keep the dicks away from demonstrations.
We get the same behaviour from our police here in the UK.
There's something fundamentally wrong with our model of policing. It seems even in liberal, western democracies police forces regularly use violence - even unjustified deadly force - against peaceful protesters. To people who are aware of results in psychology like the Milgram and Stanford Prison experiments this isn't entirely surprising. It's also understandable how the powers that be - whoever they might be at any particular point in time - don't feel the need to change things. Even the most ardent reformist generally loses the will to change things when they have the levers of power.
Well duh, it's not like the copyright holder can just delete it themselves now is it?
If Apple allowed anyone to sign or otherwise distribute & install binaries on iOS devices then the original copyright holder would have had no standing to ask for the removal, as it would have been distributed in compliance with the GPL.
You can distribute GPL2 on locked devices - that was TiVo's great innovation - so you get plenty of GPL2 software in the App Store. As far as Apple is concerned, they're just the man in the middle. If you upload something, they assume you have the rights to do so. If you tell Apple that a particular app violates your copyright, no doubt they'll take your word in good faith and pull it from the store.
VLC is GPL3. GPL3 is incompatible with the App Store due to the anti-Tivoisation provisions. On that basis, nobody has the right to publish an iOS App Store version without the consent of all contributors.
I despair, how is this insightful? MS isn't going to bully OEMs into doing anything. They've already been dragged through the courts for bullying OEMs during their anti-trust days, I'm sure they realise it's not worth it.
What will happen is that some OEMs won't release certificates allowing you to install third party OSs. Most major OEMs like Dell, HP and Lenovo will allow it.
This won't affect most home users who care about these things as we all build from scratch, no? Except for laptops of course, but I'd be amazed if the big OEMs shot themselves in the foot by making it hard to install your own OS. In fact OEMs have to sell you PCs with no OS installed if you ask as the competition authorities have taken the view that insisting that a machine should come with Windows is unlawful tying.
If I'm searching for a product and it appears in the text ads, I'll click the ad. I make a point of clicking the ad if I'm looking for something on the Apple or MS website!
The tablet will have access to DOI. If you can gain access to the DOI network then it should be fairly easy for someone with malicious intent to gain access to something important like CIS.
A simple piece of paper generally can't be used to gain access to the entire social security database. That's why the department is generally quite paranoid about who it issues laptops to.
In all my time in the department I never heard of anyone having their own colour laser printer. The few occasions I needed colour prints I emailed our bulk reprographics section with the documents and job specification.
I find it doubtful that the cost of printers is £400 (the price of a basic 16GB WiFi model) over 18 months per member of staff.
Also, handing out tablets poses a massive information security risk, They're already quite picky about who they give a laptop to, and for good reason!
Then again, the article does seem to be talking about DCLG. That's a comparatively small department; most people would consider a "major government department" to be something like DWP, HMRC or the Home Office. DCLG only has a few offices. Compare that to DWP where you've got hundreds of offices with a hundred thousand employees and it's easy to see how handing out iPads is less of a challenge for them.
This seems more like that prick Pickles trying to grab another headline.
But if you lower the population, there won't be a need to build robots to magnify productive capacity. It'd just be easier to use humans instead.
It's a contradiction; on the one hand capital is invested in machinery to increase profits but, in doing so, it puts people out of work so that fewer people can actually afford to buy the cheaper products. Poverty in the midst of plenty!

Unrecoverable read error. It was mentioned in the OP.
If you have a 200TB hard disk array then it's certain that you will encounter data corruption.
CD Zone was worth it just for Culky.

They can't control those.

Yea, this is shocking behaviour.
We should organise a class action to get a refund for the money we've spent on Chrome!

Something must be done, I'm sure you agree.

That's because MS appear to have removed their adverts. Apple still seems to advertise on Google fine.
If MS wants to get all butthurt that's their problem.
