I can recite exactly two phone numbers from memory: mine, and my Dad's. The latter is because he still has the same phone number I grew up with. So if I didn't have my cell phone, and power was out everywhere, I wouldn't know whom to call anyway.
Forcing MTP mode means the phone can keep it's entire filesystem mounted without having to hand it over to whatever computer it's plugged in to, as well as keeping control (permissions) over the actual data on/written to the disk. It also means that when you trip and yank the USB cable out in the middle of copying files over, you haven't corrupted your data.
Of course the big drawback is that MTP was originally a Windows-only protocol that was only later standardized by the USB group and support is very flaky on any Linux-based OS I've used. You're no longer guaranteed that you can plug the device in to any host and have it recognized.
You also can't edit files directly using MTP; you must edit it locally then re-upload in its entirety back to the device.
So can Samsung now ask for compensation for the lost sales due to the ban? (Honest question to any legal person here that might know. It seems obvious and only fair to me, but justice is seldomly fair lately).
Yes, but it was only actually banned for a few days. The appeals court stayed the injunction shortly after it was granted.
Friendly advice, if you want to be able to retain your geek card, you'd better be able to recognize any major quote from Wargames.
What makes you think GP didn't realize the quote was from Wargames? Movie quotes are only clever though if they have some pertinence to the issue at hand, which in this case is MAD as applied to patent portfolios. In this game, there really is no winning move, which is his point.
Of course, this goes to show how ridiculous the original quote was, too. If by "don't play" they meant "don't stockpile nuclear weapons", the result would be the same as here: one country would cease to exist.
The person narrating that video sounds so much like Mr. Garrison I couldn't make it past the first minute. However the video is based largely off the info found here:
Not saying Gizmodo needs to get out of Dodge or anything like that but they really really should avoid doing things like publishing this that only serve to rub salt in the wounds of the 800lb gorilla. Its not as if this is a story that needed to be brought to light. Its no secret that low wage retail employees tend to engage in this type of behavior.
Uh.. they aren't doing it out of some high-minded desire to spread truth to the masses. This type of story is a page-view goldmine which means ad dollars. Of course they're going to keep doing them.
Eventually the patents will expire and it will no longer be a problem; we just have to (not) make the mistake of not choosing an encumbered standard NEXT TIME once h.264 is obsolete.
So you're not a terrible administrator, you're just a terrible storyteller. Anyone reading your initial post would come away thinking you're talking about switching the OS on your production servers.
With Nvidia cards you can pretty much call any old combination of GL functions, and something will appear on screen. They never fail! This is a problem because you never find out errors in your GL code until after you've shipped the product. This sadly leads to a situation where a developer uses an NVidia card for development, ships, and then it won't run on ATI or Intel cards. The upshot is that people incorrectly assume that ATI drivers suck. They don't. Nvidia drivers are the ones that suck!
So you're saying Nvidia is the IE6 of video cards?
Does anyone here have enough knowledge of the JQuery codebase to say how the IE-specific cruft breaks down by version?
IE6 is a monstrosity; that's pretty much a given, and IE7 isn't great either. I could see dropping support for both of those being a big win in terms of cleaning up the codebase. That said, how much do they gain by dropping IE8 as well? It was only released 3 years ago.
The "promoted reader comment" in the linked Ars article actually answers exactly that:
Drizzt321 wrote: Wow, removing support for IE8? That's a really bold move. I can see IE6 & 7, those are rather old and should be deprecated and people should be really encouraged to move to newer versions.
John Resig has said in interviews that most of the IE6 and IE7 code is needed for IE8 as well. While IE8 has far better layout and CSS engine evidently it still has pretty bad DOM API. Resig pointed out that dropping support for IE6 and IE7 would have very little impact on the size and complexity of the library unless they drop IE8 as well
Shipping, packaging, advertising, and continued tech support costs are probably factored in.
Hello, 2010 called and they want their distribution model back. This is Google; as soon as the device is assembled by their robot army, Larry Page winks at it while wearing his Google Glasses and a nexus portal opens on your front doorstep (which was previously triangulated to within +/- 0.1m by a Google Street View car) where the tablet materializes.
In rural areas not covered by Street View, a team of Google Glass-wearing skydivers will drop it by.
A CEO's time ain't cheap (neither is airplane fuel) but given how many they can churn out in an hour (and the 99.99% Street View coverage) the extra $47 goes a long way. Of course until the first lawsuit is filed because a tablet materialized through someone's cat.
I don't think anyone has seriously suggested that global warming will bring on an extinction-level event. But I would say that a few million drowned Bangladeshi counts as a "catastrophe."
Drowned? Really? So entire generations are going to just sit there while the water around them rises? I think they'll have time to, you know, move.
Similarly, I make an effort to write clearly and use decent grammer.
Oh, the irony...
I can only assume/hope that he was making a very lame joke, considering his very first sentence is a textbook example of bad grammar (should be "With whom are you communicating?") and the last sentence about "clarity of communications" is so tortuously constructed that it requires multiple readings to parse.
I'll give them a solid attaboy! for this one! good job, G. unexpected but good job nonetheless.
I think they'd prefer you bought one:) Yeah they're getting plenty of attaboys but if the thing bombs the experiment will likely fail too.
I'm kinda surprised they aren't playing this up more though. They could have made a nice video about all the American jobs that went into making this thing, and gotten lots of PR from it.
Hell, that would probably have a decent halo effect for Google/Android as a whole. Sure, some weird $300 glowing orb-like media thingy isn't exactly on most consumers' wish list but when they're in the Verizon store looking at an iPhone and a Galaxy S III they may think "oh yeah, Google is that company that makes things in the USA and Apple makes them in China."
Quite a lot of the components inside the device are probably imported.
TFA is blocked for me at work but pretty sure it's the same one I read yesterday; they actually go into detail about the lengths Google went to to try to find all the components they needed onshore. As you suspect, it wasn't always possible, but whenever it was that's what they used.
Slashdot Mirror
Now let's not jump to conclusions here, maybe he was only doing research into detecting and terminating zombie processes.
Maybe soon we can build an entire operating system using only software written by convicted felons.

REDRUMFS. As long as you don't use it for mirroring, no one will know.

Sounds messy.
Lots of people such, but it is just hard to trust your data to MySQL. Just a moment ago I posted a link above to this video which illustrates it:

Oracle should be commended for finally bringing their "Write Once, Run Everywhere(tm)" vision to the exploit community.

e.g. "cat image.jpg" and get a picture
I think you meant "image cat.jpg"

Yeah, that would be a shame.
That'd be "Nazis" - no apostrophe for the plural form.
Sorry, but you were basically asking for it.
Uh, "grammar Nazi's" has been standard grammar Nazi troll bait for as long as I can remember. I'm sure he typed that with tongue firmly in cheek.

Perhaps your prefect phone needs a better spell check.
Uh, for "phablet"? It's a portmanteau used to describe tablet-sized phones.

"then they laugh at you"
"then they fight you"
"and then you win."
And of course the "then they laugh at you" is very well documented.
