I installed windows xp 64 on my new machine 2 weeks ago.
Installing the OS took around 1 hour, after that it took another 20! reboots with downloads totaling around 1GB mark to get it up to date. The total time spent was way more than 2 hours.
Oh and when windows wakes up it has no way of playing DVD, it has no basic codec support package - and whats worse its in my opinion quite a bit harder to get said things running under windows than Linux since you need to know the name of the packages and google around to find them.
So why am I running Windows? Well my SATA raid and graphics card isn't supported under Linux and I only play games and surf from the machine.
I tried to slipstream my latest XP install with nlite, but got told that I couldn't patch a 64bit installer while under 32bit OS, don't know if its nlites fault or windows, but sure sucked not knowing about the other products - took 20 or so reboots from install to completion to get all updates down.
They have told the IFPI to go ahead and try it in a real court with backing from TDC et. al. so I think Tele2 can in fact ignore the ruling from Fogedretten (and face charges should they lose).
As I wrote elsewhere, TDC and Telia have both stated to comon.dk that they will not be implementing this blocking unless they lose a court case. Also this is only a DNS level blocking, so its easily circumvented.
What I would like to know, how does this play with the Nordic trade agreements? Norway, Denmark Sweden (and others?) have a common agreement much like the EU with free trade (I think). Since TPB is legal in Sweden and this block will hinder them doing buisness (they make money on their ads) won't this be a bit of a problem?
First of all the court in question is "Fogedretten" which is I guess somewhat similar to a small claims court. A company can get an injunction against another if they believe the other part is doing something wrong, if the other company decides to roll over and play dead it ends there, else it can go all the way to supreme court.
IFPI decided to attack Tele2 again because they have a reputation of not fighting back, which is most likely the case here (court documents haven't been released yet) - TDC and Telia the main operators here in Denmark have stated they will not implement this unless they lose in court.
Also, the block will be a DNS level block, so it has zero effect since it will only be on Tele2 DNS servers and it wont take long for kids to figure that out.
Indeed we can, unlike the US criminal system, any evidence encountered can and will be used against you (well at least in Denmark). The Danish police did some illegal searches during the problems with "Ungdomshuset" - during those searches they found drugs (mainly cannabis) those people will be fined even though the search was illegal, they where in possession of the drugs.
Damn you beat me to it. Here in Denmark the citizens aren't protected - so the 110 new cases the APG (RIAA/MPAA/BSA organization in Denmark) just submitted will go through.
This is a big problem since my 24" is running in 1920x1200 and windows insists on running GL application in windowed mode if they run in a resolution less than 1920x1200.
Been looking into a new rig, but even high end everything doesn't push fast enough for Crysis to run smooth. I hope the Nvidia 9800 will do wonders.
You must be American to have such a screwed up view of whats going on in Iraq and Israel.
And talk it through? Since when did Americans start to respect any treaty that didn't put them in a favorable view? Building a robot army is just the next logical step in alienating the rest of the world.
consider this. When you read a book its natural for you to sit with it, printed, preferably in some handy format where you turn pages. It makes sense to let people try before they buy. Personally I sit in my La-Z-Boy with a pot of tea, its nice comfy and let me really enter the world(s) of the book.
Music however got digitized. People don't own high end equipment any longer because the sound will still suck, we are used to music being digital and convenient. A lot of people have gotten used to the idea of music being something massively stored in a box on the network. When you got the music in digital format pirated you don't get any additional value by buying the CD.
RIAA/MPAA still need to get their act together and treat their costumers with respect. (He talks about getting to know your audience)
On a side note, I'm definitely grabbing a copy of the book (as in printed kind from a store) to check it out.
Actually I think the news stations have absolutely no idea what it means, but fear to show failure and thus just act like it should be common knowledge (and not just regarding this, but generally).
What a load of BS. Yes back in the days heat was a big deal, going at 50 degrees Celsius was bad, but these days its less of a problem. My CPU is running at around 70 degrees Celsius, my GPU is at 80 degrees Celsius under load, my room however is at 20 degrees Celsius, so quite significant failures at +20 isn't happening.
Most new consumer hardware can sustain temperature to a point close to 100 degrees Celsius before critical failure happens.
Oh and smart consumer putting a hand on the product? are you fucking insane? The heat sink on my stuff will burn your hand under load.
Did an assignment on map reduce some time ago, while I wasn't really impressed with it as a "Database" it was some really cool stuff they did with distributing the calculations - I did however note back then that it wasn't really useful for the general industry, but still was a very nice piece of software.
Oh the joys of those good old times. My dad had one of those cell phones installed when it was very new in Denmark (this was early 90'ties), it was very impressive back then - even had hands free installed which pretty much required most of the car to be taken apart.
I've had my mobile phone number for 10 years, its not that uncommon, especially in places where you can take the number with you when you move (Denmark for instance).
The reason why they chose the second biggest is because the biggest is the ongoing murder case of Oluf Palme (yes someone got convicted, but people believe its a conspiracy), and that case should be well over 4.000 pages by now.
MySQL has a history of choosing best effort rather than correct service. Most people aren't aware of warnings and probably only will be when their data is so messed up its unrecoverable. A fun little example is to create some table using InnoDB, decide you need more log space, modify the log parameter and restart the server, create some more InnoDB tables with FK to the first set and start using the database.
What happens (well used to, haven't checked the newest version) InnoDB can't figure out how to resize the log file so it disables the engine, when told to create table MySQL says, that engine isn't available, I'll just create them as MyISAM and throw a warning. So unless you check those warnings you now got an environment that is bound to get messed up.
A good rule of thumb is to always store more data than normally needed, hence the seconds, its cheap to put it in and very expensive to recover(impossible since its lost data) if you throw the information away and suddenly need it.
Of course that means you have to think ahead and make sure you don't get hit by silly stuff like running out of bits for a date.

You are in fact missing something, the franchise for some of the big movies are in the billions range.

Have they actually implement anything?

And $0 if you are MSDNAA member.

If the net is down how do you expect independent media to get information out?

yeah, it always turns up the last place you look.
Very insightful, hope people are aware of this, getting a loan right now could prove to be quite hard to pay back.
Their anti cheat technology flagged wine users as cheaters at some point, so yeah they can tell the difference.

You just answer "mu".
