Where is the national security in forcing any remaining manufacturers offshore where they don't have to deal with carbon credits and higher electrical costs?
The US has 273 billion tons of proven coal reserves, far more than any other country, and that coal can be liquefactioned into gasoline.
Aside from taxes, they also help set the general business climate. Right to work, beaurocracy, regulations, etc. Of course, the same attitude that produces high taxes also produces an unfavorable economic climate for anyone who isn't rich and liberal, in the name of everyone else who suffers for it. While most states are seeing budget shortfalls in the recession/depression, the ones that are suffering the most previously drove out businesses and expanded government largess.
torrent file contains tracker and file information (sha1 for verification)
client connects to tracker (http/https)
tracker sends list of peers (up to 50, randomly selected)
client connects to peers, determines what pieces peers have
client uploads/downloads
So it would be straightforward to have a custom client poll the tracker for peers and then connect to determine if they have the full file or not. If they do, you can download entirely from them (they won't request any chunks from you) to prove full redistribution.
HBO monitors torrents and sends cease and desist letters. A buddy of mine has quite a collection of them:)
With torrents (and similar), the swarm (rather than individual people) are redistributing. There are seeders, obviously, with a share ratio > 1, but many peers will only upload a small portion of the file and may never upload the entire file. Can the RIAA successfully sue someone for redistributing 20% of a song?
TraceMonkey compiles javascript to native code. It most likely generates better x86 code than x64 code. They're using some of adobe's tamariz, Actionscript is also compiled to native code which is why adobe took forever to get flash on x64.
Fortunately, Eric Raymond is helping out. Unfortunately, he's a drama queen and wants everyone to know that he (and only he) may be assisinated or abducted and tortured for running tor.
I suspect Eric Raymond will soon declare himself the leader of the iranian torrorists (catchy, no?) and commence with the usual bullshit.
Anyhow, check out vidalia. It's a nice gui front end for tor. Being a tor exit node is better than an unsecured wifi if media sentry comes knocking.
also worth mentioning is llvm. gcc-llvm has an llvm backend doing code generation (which sometimes beats standard gcc, sometimes doesn't). There's also a non-gcc c/objective c/c++ compiler, clang, in development, though it may be a couple years before c++ support is complete.
an autoplay feature probably violates that (incredibly stupid) Eolas patent. Eola's has said they'll give a royalty free license for non-commercial use, but they sued Microsoft. IE, while closed source, is free and no more commercial than opera, safari, or firefox. The only browser that is commercial is opera mobile. They're motivation is money -- both Apple and Mozilla have plenty of it and Eolas hasn't licensed their "technology" to Mozilla.
I've had 2 laptops, both of which were plugged in 98% of the time. The first I replaced before the battery died. The second... towards the end, the battery was lucky to last 15 minutes. However, by that point it had for more serious problems (fan needed replacing, screen flopped around like larry king's dick without viagra, CDROM was flaky, had drive had bad sectors) and so I replaced it with a desktop machine.
I know there are some people who carry an extra battery and swap out, but many don't. For them (the majority, I suspect) the extra battery life is worth the inability to change it.
The justice system did serve justice. Twice. The RIAA lawyers were able to convince two juries that she was distributing 24 unauthorized mp3 files. How would she (or anyone) be better off if her lawyer told her that they had a strong case, that she had a weak defense, and that it would be cheaper to settle?
Slashdot Mirror
Believe me, the Norwegian pussy is the bomb. Once you get a sniff of that Scandinavian snatch, you'll enjoy those long winters.

CmdrTaco died? I know he didn't like "naval [sic] gazing", but I think that's valid slashdot news.
RIP, Rob Malda.
Bittorrent, simplified:

CobolEngine cobol = new CobolEngine();
cobol.AddLine("ADD A TO B GIVING RESULT");
cobol.AddLine("PRINT RESULT.");
cobol.Compile();
cobol.Execute();

Reconsider with an emphasis on "top-of-the-line" part, not the "RPGs" part.

They don't even need to process javascript. There's a handful of common mungeing techniques and a few lines of perl would detect and decode them.
frames suck like kathleen fent when you wave a hamilton in her face.
And if you double it:
I should come round and rape your arse

it's only 54% your tax dollars. The other 46% is borrowed.

Firefox isn't slower because of ubuntu, it's slower because the microsoft's C compiler is better than gcc.

Nowhere near 95%.

Google bought youtube. They also bought Grand Central, GV's precursor.
Yeah. Too many dudes posting dick pics. You can imagine what they'll do with video.
That advice didn't work so well for Jammie, now did it?
Opera filed a complaint with the EU about MS/IE browser bundling. They didn't include opera as a big "fuck you" to them.
Yes. That is, yes they can sue, not yes they'll be succesful.
