Here in the Netherlands, I pay about $65 a month for 120Mbps downstream. My cable provider very much likes me to use all sorts of streaming services, because otherwise I would have no need for a 120Mbps connection. They even go as far as to peer with the various Dutch media providers. Of course, this is a little easier here since everyone is on the same internet exchanges (AMS-IX and NL-IX) anyway.
Wouldn't that be considered double jeopardy? I think they can only do that if new evidence surfaces. Unless they consider it a new crime, but that would be akin to convicting a criminal again and again because the victim remains dead.
Note that Btrfs does not yet have a fsck tool that can fix errors. While Btrfs is stable on a stable machine, it is currently possible to corrupt a filesystem irrecoverably if your machine crashes or loses power on disks that don't handle flush requests correctly. This will be fixed when the fsck tool is ready.
I don't see a fundamental difference. 1) Any sufficiently complex system, biological or otherwise, will exhibit emergent behavior. 2) Some of these behaviors will be sufficiently parallel to our own to appear 'sentient'. 3) As soon as this 'sentience' becomes transferrable, time and distance cease to be limitations.
Get me a dictionary and a cheap lawyer, so I can register all natural language words as brands, including their use as a prefix for another word. Can be costly, but I think I win in the end.
You do realize the irony in referring to an alternative which was also acquired by Google and then killed? Admittedly, this time at least they properly open sourced the codebase. As opposed to the whizz-bang tech of Wave, this humble product actually seems to have a thriving community around it, now. Excellent work, Google! Please keep buying out then open sourcing promising technologies.
Exactly. Look at a problem you would like to be solved, or solved in a better way than it is today. Find the language that best fits this problem area, use google and wikipedia to find the various strengths and weaknesses concerning your specific application. There is no one ultimate language. Learn the syntax using simple exercises. When you feel at home, start looking at what others have done to solve parts of your particular problem. Try to tie together said parts, be they frameworks, libraries or just code snippets.
As soon as you have an interesting demo to show, start attracting others to your project. You can learn an incredible amount from just talking to people who are more experienced than you are in a specific field. If you are financially solvent, try treating the project if it were your job, even if it isn't making you any money. That means a few hours each day on project management, code documentation and answering stuff on your forum, blog, whatever.
Alternatively, you can try joining an open source project that already targets your pet problem. Start submitting bug reports, then patches and ultimately, new features.
It's not about the code, which looks to be covered under GPLv3. The artwork is probably just covered by copyright. Only paying customers get to use this. This is actually not that uncommon. With some other products you are required to buy a license if you want to change the branding/artwork. Doom/quake are open source, but you still need to pay for the content. Does the new GUI provide functionality the old one does not have?
Better webDAV support would be nice. Mac OS 10.6.4 finally works for me with 3rd party cardDAV servers. webDAV is the only thing left standing between me and full open-standards syncing of my user data.
Their Acid3 score has gone up from 68/100 to 83/100 since the last platform preview, so yeah, it seems they're definitely making progress. IE8 only scored 20/100.
Looking at them both I had not expected any other mood to strike him. *DUCKS* Seriously though, it's a nice gesture, but working on your honeymoon is pretty sad.
Why would Apple need to conform, since their EFI will always be only available on macs? And since Apple is the only hardware brand with widespread EFI implementation, why aren't they by default the implementation to conform to?
(I don't like HFS+ any more than you do, probably, just making a point)
This. Is. Hilarious. Either you are very funny or very misinformed. To get back to the article, I scanned it but couldn't find anything on tidal power proposals. Only ecologically motivated changes on a local level.
1) Goto nearest Apple store. 2) Dump all of your savings on counter. 3) Take whatever they're willing to trade for it. 4) Go home and install your mac mini. Optional: 5) Admire the packaging for a while.
On a more serious note: All the time spent on researching and building your custom god box could be spent on earning more cash for your next upgrade. Whatever you do, it won't last you more than three years anyway, because you will think it's too old by then. Something to consider.
If you're going to make it that long/deep, why not use the water pressure itself at that depth to launch the thing? I'm not going to do the maths on this, but theoretically, wouldn't opening the thing up at the bottom produce enough pressure from the inrushing water?
Stop feeding the trolls, no matter how elaborate their arguments may be. To be honest, the parent character seems to be the result of a pretty talented creative writer.

Well, they should be. The whole point of this was to prevent the arms race from escalating further. Remember the cold war? No probably not.
Isn't that what the fifth amendment is for? I wouldn't know, I'm Dutch.

I don't think these are correct, actually, as the propeller is blowing against the wind (driven by the wheels), instead of being turned by it.
Yes, same here. On chrome it runs normally, but with pretty high - nearly constant 30% - cpu usage on my macbook pro 2.2
I saw a documentary on this once:

Get Guy Ritchie to write the story, maybe even direct mo-cap/dialogue. In GTA 4 I just wanted to skip all the cutscenes.
(And Youtube's player controls are probably far better than anything the average developer could come up with.)
Nope: http://jilion.com/sublime/video
I even get fullscreen in my Webkit nightly. All at about 10% of former CPU usage under Flash on my MBP 2.2 Ghz.

Interestingly, that's a ColdFusion document.
