"Ancillary does not mean you get to rule the world," Edwards said. He said the FCC "crossed the line" beyond its authority approved by Congress. "You've gone too far," he said. "Are washing machines next?"
your comment about the one processor being too busy is exactly why a second one is needed...... and consequently, these separate-processor things are prohibitively expensive for mass production.
if dual-core ARM processors were, say $35 in volume, it'd be a different story.
like the XDA-2 and the XDA-3, it will contain not one but TWO ARM processors:
- GSM-Telefon: aktiv 4h, standby 240h
- PC: aktiv 5h, standby 30 Tage (GSM-Telefon ausgeschaltet)
that translates into "one ARM to run the GSM, one ARM to run the PDA". thank god there isn't one ARM to rule them all and one to get them and little toto too, is all i can say.
anyway.
the first is as shown, the Intel PXA 263 running at 400 Mhz.
these devices are approx $30 in volume quantities, and after your 400% to 1000% markup, minus the expected subsidies, would result in a price tag of oh around £70 in stores (_if_ it was running the GSM phone bit on its own, but nobody would buy it because...)
this processor it will be possible to place into "suspend/sleep" mode, to conserve battery life, which would otherwise be drained in a ridiculously short period of time.
the second processor will be an ARM 7, 8 or 9 processor, running at an _absolute_ maximum of 100mhz, consuming sufficiently little power to provide the talk-times and standby-times we expect.
these processors are oh around $20 in volume, and after your 400% to 1000% markup minus subsidies, you're looking at a price tag on the phone of "free" or £10-£20 (_if_ you didn't have the second processor)
put TWO of these processors into one device, and your subsidies mysteriously disappear or become insignificant.
result: a price tag of £200 if you get one of these types of phones [XDA-2, MDA-3, one of these german phones, doesn't matter] with a hefty per-month guaranteed usage contract, or £400 if you buy it without any subsidies.
those 400 to 1000% markups are a _real_ kicker when you get these two-processor PDA+phone jobs.
i'd _love_ to see a linux phone running on just one of these 100Mhz ARM processors, not this oh-we-must-put-two-processors-in-it crap.
... remembering also to provide a filter / relay for the CDMA or GPRS or GSM data or other radio signals that contact a base station misinforming the authorities as to the location where the criminal may not be found...
For its System-1 telemetry equipment, PI Research provide standard GPS receivers in racing cars to track the position.
In order to provide millimetre accuracy, it is necessary to drop a "beacon" near the track which transmits the same blurbage as the satellites.
Therefore, i find it somewhat insanely stupid for anyone to recommend relying on GPS to provide any kind of tracking of people _most_ likely to find ways around it!
All that would be needed would be to take the device off, put it in a faraday cage with a number of beacons emulating the satellites, make a few changes to the phase of the signals in order to simulate "movement", and you're done.
I look forward to seeing an announcement from Mr Bill Gates saying "We've fixed the problems in Windows, Spyware is a thing of the past!".
I also look forward to the ReactOS team porting the SE-Linux security model to their NT-interoperable Operating System, such that it becomes possible to run Windows programs in a confined manner, thus _also_ making it impossible for Spyware to run...
Skype's peer-to-peer randomly distributed connectivity is impossible to detect, impossible to lock down, and therefore impossible to block.
The skype program can even automatically detect whether a connection is BEING blocked, and can decide to set up a new connection to another intermediate machine.
Remember - skype's program makes at least 50 random connections to other computers in the distributed network, and any one of these could be used to route voice traffic.
Carriers stand absolutely zero chance of blocking skype.
Which is why I've been advocating the creation of a public distributed "VPN" along the same lines - to carry more than just VoIP traffic.
prosecute based solely and exclusively on the basis of "words"? no.... except, of course, the fucking stupid american dickhead neo-fascist-conservatives now running your country _are_ putting people in prison on the basis of what they think - and say.
_just_ in case they _might_ commit acts of "terrorism".
and in the UK they're passing laws that allow the government to do exactly the same...... even though those same laws would allow the british nazi^H^H^Hational party to place people under arrest/detention without trial on suspicion not evidence...... and the BNP is gaining popularity just like its similar predecessors, across europe, in the 1930s.
history repeats itself whereever there are crass enough people to take power without taking responsibility.
who says i'm laughing? did you see any smileys or comments indicating "laughter"?
did i say "to think is to commit a crime"?
no - what i implied was that there now exists a place where what people say is recorded - evidence that could be used if they ACTED or CAUSED people to act on what they are thinking.
thinking is fine. incitement to violence, racial hatred or other criminal acts is not fine.
nah, i think it's _great_ that people set up these sites.
they are identifying themselves to the world and to the intelligence services "come and get me, we're dumb enough to tell you who we are and dumb enough to _write down_ what we _really_ think".
DVB card. apt-get install vdr. shove skype on it if you _really_ want to. job done.
total cost: £270 plus a monitor of your choice (£200 for the computer, £70 for the terrestrial DVB card).
£200 if you want a DVB-S satellite card.
vdr also supports a modified (soon to come out of development) version of xine which allows you to no longer need a hardware MPEG decoder on the DVB card.
the bar is lowered by this quite desperate move on microsoft's part.
in an attempt to keep at least one customer, they get to give away what they have been ordered to release _anyway_, and everyone gets it, and so everyone benefits...
the crucial thing is to find the people and quickly those who are depending on this code, and who have been let down by ibm's end-of-lifecycle decision.
dfs is just far too good at what it offers to let it go piss down the toilet.
remember: dfs was the stuff that transarc got their teeth into _after_ they released afs, and so they had a few more years to hammer at an _already_ stunningly good bit of code.... where's me openafs mailing list alias gone?
you only have to look at the fact that DCE/DFS ran the file server back-end for a web server front-end for the 1996 olympics to realise how true that is.

Free fooooood!
you also might want to look at XAD.
which isn't free, because it's based on FreeDCE, which is BSD-licensed, and therefore it's not a requirement for the source code to be made available.
but it utilises and brings together all of the pieces of the puzzle that you're looking for, in a way that no free software project yet does...
ISODE-8.0, a complete and BSD-licensed X.500 server, has been available since 1992.
(available at http://opendce.hands.com)
except of course nobody _noticed_ because in 1992, things like free software didn't really exist.
and, of course, X.500 was "far too complicated".
now, of course, everyone is whining that "oo, wouldn't it be nice if only LDAP could do X" and if you look at X.500 you find it _can_ do X.
repeat for any value of X...

How can we repay the Polish and Danish governments - in _real_ terms - involving patent-free software?
ideas, anyone?

*ROTFL*. what - make SOAP a DCE-based product?
:)
that'd be funny: the SOAP specification references the DCE/RPC documentation as one of its sources
yesss, i loooove youuu :) someone who knows what DFS can _really_ do!
you only have to look at the fact that DCE/DFS ran the file server back-end for a web server front-end for the 1996 olympics to realise how true that is.
that'd probably explain why it's a 90mb download for 3.5 million lines of code, then :)
