The problem seems to be that duplicate names for different entries in menus on common distributions seem not be be correctly handled and the fix for this is not to go the consistent way (the same things are named in the same way) and fix the functions which create the menus (like detecting duplicate entries and attaching an indication of the package name in the entry), but to plainly forbid to name entries in the same way?
I dont like that. This is not the year of the linux desktop.
Ahem. I did not say they should store the data on the computer they take with them. They can take a clean computer with them and then run the very same linux distro they run now, but in a decently clean environment.
Directly besides the "do you plan to overthrow the US government" question in the visa application there will be a "did you take part in file sharing" question.
The idea that they would, in the time of 3g and WLAN, somebody like a employee of the DOD would try to use any hotel computer and make it magically safe by booting some OS.
Using an hotel computer or any internet cafe computer is like putting a malicous roommaid onto steroids.
There is an infinite number of people which had infinite time to place keyloggers, bug the monitor cable etc.
Well on one hand i would appreciate that you have the freedom to reprogram HW build by somebody else (e.g. Cisco). On the other hand the most prominent reason to do so i can imagine for that would be HW trojan insertion. (You would have to verify the flashs contents with cisco after you bought a router)....
Try to prevent reduce any permanent damage (e.g. remove sharp edges or constructions in which you easily get caught), but give the children the possibility to fall down onto a safe ground (sand) so that they feel and learn to estimate whats going on. Its better that they learn gradually how painful something is than they learn this spontaneously at some point when they are too old.
In that sense, i would put up many things which have a more or less save falling height. Put some higher things but make the access in a way that only better trained climbers can get up. (e.g. make a 5+ climbing wall in the ground, which gets down to a 2 above 2m)
Usually say more about the hopes and fears than about what will be. The Background of the 60s was the cold war. In the same way the background of the 90s lead to overly optimistic images of the future.
O boys. The people who measure cameras in megapixels and learned photographing using the iphone have overrun us. For sure there a cameras which can photograph the iris in sufficient quality, even from a foot away. Just a matter of the optics. As a matter of fact, many compact cameras nowadays have excellent macro properties. I think for the quite cheap one i bought the resolution is better than.1mm in macro mode. And i wouldn't know why taking a photo i the iris should be slower than any other photo, under the right lighting conditions.
There are many apps which require excessive permissions without any reasonable explanation. Many of these appear as close-to-identical apps to shotgun better. I am surprised its only 8%.
Well, I suspect that google+ will develop very quickly in another direction. Recently google is getting more and more in location based services, searches, and ads. So i think google+ will be less about gaming and more about luring customers with android smartphones to places integrating well with this concept.
Defense is a sector where free markets dont play a role. I am absolutely sure: If you have a small startup which implements a brilliant system, you would go bankrupt before you are allowed to link it to the systems of the big guys. Then they would buy the rest of that startup for nothing.
I would be happy with gradually paying for a game if i keep enjoying it. In the same way i can buy or rent a single episode of a tv series or buy a whole season set, this option should exist for games.
If SSDs appear and DRAM goes down it could aso be that there are now more subnotebooks or ultraportibles in which DRAM is a power consumer and HDs are too big? It could be that MS, under the pressure of the first netbook wave which contained linux has shown reason and put out Windows 7 in opions which allow to run it on normal machines. I mean. Just thinking.
I personally dont see Flash replacing DRAM soon. I see that DRAM memories stop to grow for other reasons.
Let me say it that way round: i see that my PCs DRAM in 2000 was 128 times more than in 1990 and i see that until 2010 it has only grown by 16 times, nevertheless if the machine contains SSD or HDD.
a) Focus on the mainstream. The mainstream will carry you forever. The people which swallow any literature shit will be you most loyal customers. No need to keep world literature in the original language in you store.
b) Decorate your windows just according to the newest trend. Try to blend in with the other stores. Dont allow your employees to bring in their own competence.
c) Under no circumstances put chairs in your store.
d) Students are good are good and cheap as personal. And they can read the list of the current mainstream literature.
e) Be picky about the topics presented in the store. Don't present any topic which could disturb somebody, and if, only after it hase been a major topic on TV.
f) Under no circumstances sell ebooks. (Actually i thought at some point I could buy an ebook on an SD card, without registering with my name at a big company. That never happened.)
Yes. i also thought that he has a too high opinion about himself.
It starts by seeing himself as a typical test case, despite having computing habits which are not typical at all (dual-boot instead, using POP instead of IMAP etc.).
It is especially tragic that he tests for a full replacement of his desktop OS because its obvious that chrome OS is *strictly mainstream* for a *specific purpose*. Its not meant to be a replacement for a fully fledged desktop OS, but a streamlined web browsing and web application machine.
And if you find a feature which is marked experimental (like the VPN access he criticizes), why don't you test it. It would be interesting to know if its marked experimental because its completely messed up of because it has some hiccups in strange situations.
(That being said, i found most of his experiences to be what i expected)
In countries with a lower average income, the lifetime of computers is significantly longer. And the chinese i worked with usually have an extreme habit of "never touch a running system". And they dont declare a possible virus infection to be a problem.
I did not know this paper when posting, but what i know is that giving streams to arbitrary unknown exit nodes is not very wise. I imagine that if a research group can replace a small nuber of exit node, then i dont know what one of the big North American buyers of computational power (the NSA) can do (does anybody know if there is "critical" number of Tor nodes to reconstruct traffic reliably in a given time? ).
If hey, as a company, published this under the GPL, then you may change the code and construct derived code based on it and use it as you like. As long as you dont start with a blank page, there should be no problem. Moreover, if this contains patented algorithm, then i am sure the patent numbers should be mentioned in the documentation. I am pretty sure that not mentioning patents in distributed source code may weaken your position in front of a court.
the first 20000 would go away for the lawyers writing the contracts in a way that each part is produced in another company of some defense contractor, so that if this things costs too much money, then every representative from every region would have to agree on spending more because 4 people producing some part for it somewhere would be unemployed.
After having gotten out 20000000 dollar, spent 10 years and not have a working prototype you can retire.
Technically my programs get less and less challenging. When i was 27 i liked to build beautiful castles of code. Like binding everything low-level using JNI to Java and only call this indirectly from jython. No, that was very nice and it worked.
What i learned the hard way: I programmed everything which doesn't run away quickly enough since i am 11y old. Not everybody did that. Not everybody says: Oh, JNI, never heard about it before, but i'll read it in the evening.
The reality is: There will be this FORTRAN-only programmer (i am a physicist), which whom you have to collaborate. There may be somebody whose understanding of OOP is on the level of a monkey who just observes that every object is subject to gravitation.
What age really brought me is a very realistic way of evaluating things in the respect of "how can that be maintained, by somebody who is not me?".
This does not mean i don't like advanced tools and ways of programming. But i try always to pack it in a oversimplified way with no need to understand the inside, while earlier i assumed that understanding the inside would be what interests people.

i tried to find mathreader today, but i endend up on a broken page. I downloaded the CDF viewer and it did not work (ubuntu 11.04)

Or can somebody tell me if the cooling of the HDs is ok if they are stacked like in the picture?
