The OP made clear he can reference his original media if he needs higher quality.
DivX might not be cutting edge, but there's a huge number of devices that'll play DivX files and won't think about touching a "current" format - most notably DVD players and "last gen" gaming systems.
When China started pumping out Android 4.0 (and higher) devices in car stereo form-factors with "standard" cabling and 25-50 watts per channel on the audio output, I started to ponder what sort of service my car needed. These devices all had WiFi, and a few could take an add-on USB cellular device, but nothing that worked for me.
I wanted maps, streaming XM, maybe some Pandora, and the occasional Google Now based search.
It was vastly easier to order a Hotspot device with a no-time per-gig contract from something like FreedomPop -- I just had to wait for good service in my 'hood.
I had wanted to say just that....for only 100k, they'd still be dead, but, well, perhaps not.
Knowing exactly where a plane lands in the water might give an opportunity for an at-sea rescue of possible survivors -- should a giant plane smacking into the water allow for such a thing.
Of course, the cost versus lives always reminds me of this:
Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
How much are those boxes? What's the cost to install them everywhere? What's our likelihood of a lawsuit?
Ok. I'll bite. WTF would you have to explain to a technician how a DOCSIS modem worked, and why would you subject yourself to such a pig-singing experience.
I'm sorry, but you've mentioned you're using a Google Spying Service, and as such, the full tinfoil wrath of/. should soon be upon you.
For whatever it's worth, I switched to 8.8.8.8 right about the time my provider started giving fake replies to non-existent domains, "helpfully" suggesting sites for me.
For rooted phones there are both a variety of backup options and variety of stolen phone options all of which you can locate in the Play store, or which can be found by simple Google search, since the options are discussed endlessly with their pros and cons on every major Android forum.
For unrooted phones, you can still fully encrypt, and still backup -- although not fully. How painless the recovery is will come down to how much you trust and buy into online services. Your Candy Crush progress is going to have to depend on if you decided to integrate with Facebook, or if you've got your tinfoil set to max.
In a way, I sort of enjoy the idea of a man who knows everything about constitutional law and nothing about email making decisions based on two people (and a number of lower court decisions) arguing about email. It's like asking someone who never saw Star Wars to review TPM - at least he doesn't have a bias.
This is fairly application dependent - especially since most enterprise class hard drives have some sort of caching......and that's without factoring in their controllers.
Nerds come in all shapes and flavors. If the article had said, ESR (Eric S. Raymond), author, open source software advocate and Nethack dev-team member answers your questions. , it might have told nerds not familiar with him if they should read the article or not.
And when the rootkit watches you logon to your "normal" banking site, they'll get your not-bitcoins too.
So, unless you're advocating keeping all of your money in cash under your mattress and sleeping with a machine gun, I'm not sure what your point is.
If you have a big cache of bitcoin, it only makes sense to keep some of it in a separate wallet, and that wallet be "offline" by the methods managed above.
Sure. There's a link....but that's no excuse for not mentioning what the fuck an ESR is in either the title OR the body. Links go dead.
As of right now, there's STILL nothing anywhere on this page that actually says what an ESR is.
I don't like jumping on the samzenpus is a lazy cunt bandwagon, but, well, samzenpus is a lazy cunt who assume people know or care what an ESR is without including a name and a Twitter-length bio.
My understanding of the English language isn't complete, but I understood "theoretical physicists" to mean that the physicists themselves were only theoretical -- in much the same way that "garden gnome" is a gnome that lives in a garden.

Seems to crack, maybe, the top-20.
Some fascinating objects on that list...

That's the question that should be asked about any such equipment.
Which is why I asked it. Are you ever going to answer?
Great.
Should we remove that equipment, or are we better off with it?

Those boxes might have been lost, but you couldn't possibly have picked a less credible site.
Should we remove radios and radar and GPS from the planes too? After all, they're just another thing that can break.

Both the original article and this /. story are both not-so-subtle ads for CAH.
Well played.
Open Source legend ESR speaks out!
That would have been great. Interviews: ESR Answers Your Questions on the other hand, is mostly useless unless you know what an ESR is.

+1 interesting and informative, thanks.

Finding a sea lion head surprised me considering how much lower sea levels were at the time.
Pretty sure they've always been at sea level... :)

This leaves me with one question: What's an ESR?
Hopefully the three-year deal and salary allows the police department to budget for one or two more officers on staff.
None of this will matter. Planet X will have reached us long before then.
