There is a workaround that allows you to access up to six gmail accounts: The IMAP mail client included in the G1 will allow you to get to 5 more gmail accounts - albiet only using IMAP so you'll loose the google-specific functionality.
I'm an informed consumer. I know to visit reputable catalogs of sites that allow users to review and vote on applications before downloading them. I know that if that's enough, I keep up with the news enough to know when something slips through. As long as installation isn't automatic, I'm not concerned with my phone being hacked.
Now, perhaps not all consumers are informed. Maybe those consumers should stick to the T-Mobile app store, and they will probably will be fine. I'm just glad that the phone I purchased with MY MONEY will give me the choice to venture off and take a few extra risks without having to "hack" it.
This may be true for sending entire frames to threads, but in mpeg4, frames are broken up into chunks. Motion vectors are created that allow these chunks to move about the image from frame to frame. Other filters are used to remove blockiness, compress the image, do motion detection and macroblock detection, and do various other tasks. MPEG4, especially H.264, can be easily multi-threaded:
http://ietisy.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/E88-D/7/1623http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2004SPIE.5308..384Lhttp://www.electronicsweekly.com/Articles/2007/05/02/41296/aspex-targets-parallel-processor-at-blu-ray-dvd.htm
When doing a two-pass encode, this is even easier because the keyframes are discovered on the first (faster) pass, so (if encoding already couldn't be threaded) it could by taking advantage of the known keyframe markers in at least the second pass.
But, that's not necessary. I use handbrake to create H.264 videos under Linux all the time on my dual core machine, and both processors stay between 80%-90% utilization from start to finish regardless of the number of passes.
Windows is a class of operating systems - Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Mobile. Linux is a class of operating systems - Ubuntu, Fedora, Slackware, etc.
Each distribution of Linux aims to achieve a different goal just as Windows Mobile and Windows Vista are inconsistent and aim to achieve a different goal. You can't install just any Windows Vista package on your Windows Mobile phone can you?
Linux is not inconsistent. Linux distributions are inconsistent, but that's ok. What we really need to do is stop calling our distributions "Linux" and start calling them by their proper names (Ubuntu, Slackware, Debian). Then the myth of inconsistencies will start to fall away.
Perhaps that's true in managerial accounting, but the financial statements always measure profits gross and net without using the employee count. If the profits of the managerial accounting caluclations differ greatly from the profits on the financial statements, a well run corporation ought to see that and adjust the cost of each employee in the management statements accordingly.
As for the JDBC emulator... Have you looked at ORM tools like Hibernate? You can design tables and have hibernate automatically build objects that impliment the table design. Then, your custom objects would interact with the auto-generated objects. It's not perfect, but really abstracts the database from your application.
The best part is that you can create a complete application without writing a single SQL query by simply using a RAD tool (mysql-query-browser for example) for the databsae design, and something like hibernatesync for Eclipse to auto-generate the XML mapping files and the objects. http://www.onjava.com/lpt/a/5537
I thought that onboard controllers still attached to the system bus, but through hard-wire instead of through connectors. Is that not the case? If it is, then the PCI adapter should go just as fast as an onboard IDE controller assuming all other things are equal. Again, if this is the case, then you are not limited by the BUS; you are limited by the PCI controller itself.
Actually, the ruling is quite similar. In both cases, the same "wing" (right/left) stuck to either giving the government more or less power over corporate activities.
In the case of whistleblowing, corporations would like to "deal with internal issues internally" which means that whistleblowing is bad for business. And it is when business is corrupt or the whistleblower is corrupt and anonymous. Extreme democrats will assume that the horrible corporations are out to get us and protect ever last whistleblower leaving the courts to shake out the liars; classical liberals would seek a common ground of simple law and restricted government for the greater good (attempting to protect the free market from liars and civil liberties from corporate corruption); and extreme modern republicans would blindly act pro-business.
In the case of eminent domain, a similar situation occurs. Strong Eminent Domain laws are bad for business, but are a necessity to provide for increased infrastructure (roads for instance) and important for the common good when used in moderation. More government power over eminent domain means that there is a greater risk to business (and all land owners for that matter). Modern democrats give power to the government blindly assuming that government knows best; classical liberals seek a common ground of simple law and restricted government, and extreme modern mepublicans would blindly act pro-business assuming that businesses are smarter than beaucracies.
Listening to TWIT I heard a conversation about Parallels and dual booting. Although, obviously not an authoritative source, there seem to be some problems resizing the standard OS X file system for adding Windows to Macintosh computers. Perhaps the resize issue is something they are trying to fix by switching to a more advanced FS? Does anybody know if this makes ZFS more valuable to Apple?
I'm not a WoW player, although I enjoy watching others play. It would seem that the problem here is that there is a bridge between the real-world economy and the WoW economy. This bridge will have the same effect as a river between two lakes: the water levels will seek to match each other. The players with the most wealth (in time or money) in the real-world will then become the richest players in the virtual world too. People who live in economies with fewer resources than yours (India or China for instance) will see easy profits by converting their time for work for a fee for you.
So, your real-world money flows into their pockets. They do the grinding (at a profit) for you which goes into the game. The problem is that the game assets have almost no value to them outside of the real-world market price for them. You on the other hand find these assets valuable in in-game money as well.
This disconnect drives the in-game economy down because a substantial number of players (them) attribute no real-world value to the assets in the game outside of some perceived value of the buyer (you).
The key is this:
This makes them much richer than you because they already have as much of the in-game assets as they could ever want (none) and any assets they receive after that are pure profit. If left to the free market, the virtual-economy will collaps because it contains no actual value (outside of entertainment) compared with the real-world economy. And, as the economy collapses, the entertainment value will also descrease bringing the entire economy to the ground.
It's interesting how so many people don't understand "comparative advantage". Outsourcing, by its very nature, indicates that the services are being imported (instead of generated domestically) because the exporting country can do a better job. If that's not true, then the importation of those services will stop. If it is true, then the importation of those services will grow. All economic models that encompass free trade ideas will show us that the united states, as a hole, will be better off by outsourcing jobs so long as no gross human rights are being violated. We can see a loss in jobs due to outsourcing due to the direct replacement of labor, but we can also see an increase in jobs in other markets due to the increased efficiency of the whole US economy. In fact, it would appear (although counter-intuitive) that outsourcing jobs actually allows more jobs to be created domestically than were lost to outsourcing. So, some customer service people loose their jobs. But for every person who looses his job to outsourcing, at least one other job will be created in another job sector to replace that lost job.
You could say that, but it only takes a class-action lawsuit to fix that. But, as has been said before, after applying patches to software to circumvent the bugs, you should be able to run benchmarks (synthetic or real-life) to see how fast the chip performs. Somebody will post such benchmarks and that can be used as the basis for justifying the cost of the chips to you in your final PC.
So, in reality, these flawed chips aren't "broken" they are just "slower". And how much slower is a question that will be answered after the compilers and operating systems recognize the chip flaws.
I doubt it. The government has access to a lot more bandwidth than bellsouth accesses.
And, what branch of the government do you think they would cut off. All of them? That would be a really time consuming task considering that they have IP addresses all over the place. Only those that resolve to Mil addresses? Gov addresses? Com and Org addresses?
I would most like to see bellsouth cut off all IP addresses that reverse to a Mil address.
Congress isn't the answer here. Supply and demand is good enough. There will always be an ISP willing to supply cheap fast bandwidth regardless of what dumber comapnies do. The worst case isn't the horrible future everybody seems to foresee, rather it's simply a split between smart and uninformed shoppers. This is similar to the AOL users who page $20+ for a $10 service. Many users, and eventually most users I think, will eventually see ratings of ISPs based on latency and bandwidth. Our money will go to the best service, and those that try to hurt us will simply loose market share (perhaps even going out of business).
As long as there are three wires (telephone, cable, fios) leading to my home (not to mention wireless/satellite and internet over power line) is around, I will always choose the best deal for me leaving the greediest to die.
These payments are made in a pre-arranged agreement to support the costs associated with switching the call. On the Internet these costs translate to ISP costs. ISP's pay each other for bandwidth (in the form of money or reciprocal bandwidth in some sort of agreement). Either way, these are hardware related payments in the phone and data industries. I was trying to say the Sprint would be charging Cingular CUSTOMERS for making calls (content instead of hardware costs).
I could care less if Sprint decides to charge Cingular directly for connecting to it. Cingular and Sprint can battle that out in court and if Cingular looses and is forced to raise my bill, I'll just switch to a different provider with better lawyers.
Having been oversold is not the issue. When I use my cell phone, I pay MY cellular provider for the service. The other person pays his/her provider. When I use the Internet I pay my ISP, and the sites I visit pay their ISPs. If I started receiving bills from Sprint every time my Cingular phone called a Sprint phone, then we'd be looking at a valid comparison.
The nice thing here is that as a service provider, I don't need to pay BellSouth anything because I am not under contract with them. If they lock me out, then I can probably sue for extortion or, more likely, anti-competitive practices. BellSouth's cusomters can also sue when service providers stop working because BellSouth is advertising that they sell an "Internet Connection". Not part of the Internet, but the entire thing. Cutting some sites/services off is about as close to "false advertising" as I've seen a large corporation do in some time.
I'm not really into football, and perhaps they aren't talking about college, but I'm pretty sure that the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles that directly follows the Rose Parade on January 1 is a little close to the cut off day of December 31. If they are trying to avoid stepping on the sporting events, why not do it right after basketball season ends? On the other hand, why even worry about it at all when there is always some sport going on - even if it isn't as big as the NBA and NFL championships?
I doubt that most people think that using an SD card is a hack. The slot is right there on the top of the thing, and unlike any other method on any platform, including pocketPC, you don't even need to install software on the computer to access it. It's the most user friendly way to get your documents on and off of any device.
I have a 1.3 Ghz iBook, and I use OpenOffice for Mac (not NeoOffice). It starts pretty fast, but it does require that you install X11 first. Give it a try, X11 should have come with your Mac on the CDs. You can download the real OpenOffice from OpenOffice.org.
So, Cogent is dumping traffic onto lower tier providers, and the low tier guys have the right to shut Cogent off for it. Cogent has the right not to do business with L3. Nobody has to do business with anybody in particular, but if a provider can't get packets though, it should eventually go out of business. I can't see how Cogent is being bad at all. But, for L3 to block packets coming from these lower tier providers because they happened to pass through Cogent is anti-competitive to say the least.
I'm not sure that you've used them the in the best mannor. The hotsync isn't a good way to get data onto the palm. The SD card slot is. Just put whatever media you want to listen to or play and use TCPMP to listen/watch. The same goes for documents such as.doc,.xls, and.ppt files. Photos can be stored in the card just like any camera.
