My thoughts exactly. The internet is the middle man, we're seeing it with record companies already who are having to retool a bit back into more production and less distribution. The internet is going to make telcos who want to double as media providers obsolete. We still need the telco side but the media provider side can be done directly be the content creator/owner.
If you're using balanced lines and everything is properly grounded (to the same ground) that is about all you can do. If you still have problems I wouldn't qualify either of those boards as 'pro'
I've worked with an open-source project that had a rough couple of years due to outside funding. The core of the problem is if the funding is for some work that may not really be all that interesting to the core of the community. You end up with a bunch of work that the core user/developer base isn't interested in and so it doesn't get as much TLC as other things that are features added by someone close to the project. After the pain of it happening and the few years of recovery the governing body for the project has started outlining better rules for funding related to the project and how it is handled to avoid the problem of this large external force knocking a project off track.
I was working for my university as a student in the IT department and implementing an open-source portal. Ended up getting a job offer with a company that provided consulting for said project. Now that I'm four years into working with the project and on my second employer (voluntary change) having open-source project experience while in college and after opens a lot of doors. Beyond just the development experience if you become heavily involved in a project it can also speak volumes about your interpersonal and team skills.
Or how about neither at the helm and just have some competition. It isn't like Apple is anywhere near threating Microsoft yet and until that happens I'm just happy that there are more and more choices. Perhaps someone will finally get something right.
It could for a little while though since their already doing DPI to do that all they have to do is add a few more headers to allow their advertisers sites to be loaded.
Or even worse it wouldn't surprise me if their DPI ad injecting boxes just stripped all SSP headers, which of course would open their users up to more threats but it isn't like they care much.
The site owner includes additional HTTP headers in the response describing all of the 'good' JavaScript on the page, where it is coming from, what it is allowed to make requests to, etc...
If a site owner implements these headers injected JavaScript won't be able to do much since it will be in the sandbox specified by the site-owner.
Wish my mod points hadn't just expired, you'd be getting one.
My wife works in special-ed which has an even higher tendency to be litigious than general-ed courses do.
It is amazing how many parents immediately place blame on teachers for their child not doing well in a class. In many cases it may well be a case of a student and teacher not connecting at some level but jumping directly into "it's the teachers fault" versus trying to find a solution doesn't help and just puts teachers and parents more at odds.
But that doesn't fix all of the machines that my public key (generated on Ubuntu) resides on that do not run Ubuntu. So yes fixing Ubuntu machines is easy, it is a PITA to have to go and re-upload my public key to all of these hosts.
And that is why CFLs are packaged in those PITA clear blister packs. I'm sure they break during shipping and stocking as well and the repeated exposure to workers would be a big problem if the bulbs weren't in sealed packaging.
The idea is you get a $25 credit for having this installed and then $8/hour of shutoff time and they specific times when they will not shut off your AC. I've seriously thought about it since the possible shutoff times are pretty much while I'm at work.
Except most wear-leveling MOVES data around on the drive. Since random access is 'free' shuffling mainly read-only data around on the disk periodically is perfectly reasonable.
Will this ever die? The write cycle counts in modern flash is in the millions now. Doing the math you very easily get 20+ years before write cycle wear is a concern: http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html
How many heavily used spinning drives do you know that last even 10+ years?
I'm nearly positive that the read/write cycle issues have long been moot. http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html I realize this is an industry sponsored site but even with taking very pessimistic views of their numbers a flash drive will last far longer than most disk based drives on the market will.
That is just the pairing code. So if you switched your device into pairing mode anyone could pair with it. The encryption is based on a different, randomly generated, key: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth#Security
Exactly, my wife has a 2.5 mile each way commute plus short trips (a few miles each) each week from work. Having a plug-in hybrid like the Volt is exactly what we're waiting for. We plug it in each night... have a full charge in the morning and even with a long day (15 miles or so) she likely wouldn't use any gas. The great part would be that the car is actually useful for long trips as well as once the batteries are run down the generator starts up and provides the power.
Not really, the people that don't clean up object references in memory managed languages are the same people that wouldn't manage resources correctly in a non memory managed language. For good developers the memory management removes a lot of work that really isn't needed. There still needs to be care placed in to ensuring you clean up references though. I would put some blame on folks that teach/market these languages like as if you don't need to worry about memory at all. Of course you need to worry about memory, just in a slightly different and usually less intensive way.
This is called rsync with hard links. I have a shell script I've been using for a few years that does nightly backups of my machine to another via SSH (even works when I'm on the road). The script uses hard links to create a minimal backup each time while saving disk space and making recovery easy. I can go into any one of the timestamped directories and see a 'full' view of all my files as they were on that day.
In the US this isn't true. The digital broadcasts are just on previously un-used UHF (and in some unfortunate cases VHF) channel allocations. The antenna you've been using for analog will still work for digital.
In Windows you can mark a folder on a network share as "Available Offline". Windows will copy all of the files to the local HD and if the server isn't available just work with the local copies. When the server is detected Windows will automatically sync the files and pop-up asking the user about conflicts (keep local / keep remote). When connected writes automatically go to both the local copy and the server.
One of the few places that Windows has right and I haven't found a Linux or OS X solution for that is nearly as nice.
Slashdot Mirror
so if you pull out their data feed it looks like they are selling over 300k apps/hour. If you assume 300k/hour that is less than 10 days.

Wish I had mod points for this, seems to be a much better idea than jamming and should let the prison track down offenders.
You should be able to use DIs to convert pretty much any unbalanced run to a balanced run. There are powered DIs that can run off phantom if needed.
If you're using balanced lines and everything is properly grounded (to the same ground) that is about all you can do. If you still have problems I wouldn't qualify either of those boards as 'pro'

6 bits per color, I'm assuming (I didn't RTFA) that there are 3 colors per pixel so you have 18 bit color instead of 24 bit color.
And that is why CFLs are packaged in those PITA clear blister packs. I'm sure they break during shipping and stocking as well and the repeated exposure to workers would be a big problem if the bulbs weren't in sealed packaging.

I'd love to get that writeup about doing this over AFP!
I'll likely get buried but here it goes:
