WiFi disabled (bluetooth only), GPS disabled (the watch picks up the location from the phone anyway). No additional apps installed, just a handful of watch faces. I recall that a previous update made it terrible, like less than 2 days of battery, then another update fixed it (and the update did say so) and it was back to normal.
Sounds like marketing talk. My Gear S3 currently lasts 3-3.5 days with typical usage, so that's "several days" already. It consumes between 25-30% of the battery per day, on average. I would not bother with upgrading if the 3-3.5 days figure didn't upgrade to 5-6 days.
Vodafone here in Europe is also blocking TLS when sending emails through their broadband services.
They do so only when port 25 is used; they don't in other cases.
My theory is that they want to be able to scan the emails for viruses and/or spam, and block the connection/notify the customer to avoid unpleasant bill suprises.
At least that's what my optimistic POV wants to see.
Yes, inside a military bunker.
Writing a program to interconnect 4 different batteries of a antiaircraft battalion, through RL-431 antennas. Part of it was being written during an actual full-scale military exercise; re-writting parts of it as the exercise went on for 5 days.
I've been using nVidia cards on my Linux workstations for many years.
Well, I recently found out the hard way that Xinerama is broken on any driver version after 319. Ouch.
And has been for the last 9 months and with no response from nVdia. Double ouch.
Thumbs down.
Feel free to take cameras with you and take pictures of the beautiful scenery, monuments and people. When however, you go outside military facilities that have big "NO PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED" signs (in english and actual no camera icons in case you don't know english) and start taking detailed photographs with your DSLR and 70-300 lens, expect to be arrested if caught. The devs should absolutely have requested a license to do it, they didn't care to do it or got caught in the bureaucracy that is to be expected with these affairs, they got arrested for breaking the law. If they were caught doing that in the US (say, outside Nellis AFB), I wonder what would have happened to them.
I worked on a modern SAM site for a couple of years as an operator (the guy who actually tracks the targets and pushes the fire button), so hear this.
Most SAM systems use a different radar to "identify" that a target exists in their missile engagement zone (you can identify these by their constantly rotating nature) and a different radar to actually track & lock a target. The tracking radar does not spin but rather follows the locked target as the target flies. Depending on the SAM system and technology, you CAN use multiple tracking radars for better triangulation and/or to combat ECM or other anti-tracking technologies. You can even use multiple fire batteries if they are spread far enough for even better than better triangulation. The caveat is that of all the fire batteries interconnected, only the Master battery can do this, the slaves can't. Additionally, the slave fire batteries must not be currently tracking and/or engaging other targets for this to work.
The importance of stealth technology is to remain unseen by the radar that identifies a valid signature in the sky and then passes the target to the tracking radar. If you are identified as an aircraft but can't be tracked by the tracking radar, then usually the target is assigned to airborne forces to intercept or ground small arms (including stinger missiles and manual tracking flak cannons). Remaining completely undetected is what stealth technology is all about.
why can't USA honestly bomb the shit out of those red chinese junk this time, so they never dare to hurt Intel any more?
Bombing a nation whose population is over a billion people (and has nukes) is a really, REALLY dumb idea. Plus, the Bush administration propably doesn't have any deals with Intel, so they could care less.
Of course if everyone did this there wouldn't be a second generation.
In which case, because of the low and slow sales, Apple would be forced to either take their QC (Quality Control) more seriously, or gradually go "bankrupt". I would prefer the first, because I am entitled to a good, solid, working product when I pay a premium price for it.
I work for your typical 15-employee company. Because of an incident lately (data theft & deletion after firing a guy), we have locked down cd/dvd recorders and USB mass storage devices. These can both be done through the registry. Just set:
Am I the only person here that is angered by this news item - and the way it's served to us?
First of all, everywhere in the article, we get excerpts saying "the artists pay too much money", "it costs the artists too much". Which is of course, totally BS, because the labels pay for these, as the artists don't own the copyright!
In other words:
The EU is spending our (I'm a EU citizen) money (all these procedures cost money), so that the record labels spend less trying to restrict us, while at the same time we are going to get the same price for the BS records they serve us?
You'll be seeing me again in a record store buying a CD in...2078. Because no way in Hell am I going to download a drm'ed version from an online store!
Would you do something like this?

There is a Posix-compatible version of Zeroconf for Linux. Just download it from Apple's CVS (You will need an ADC account).
Under bash:
export CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT=:ext:apsl@anoncvs.opensource.apple.com:/cv s/apsl
cvs co mDNSResponder
Then use your ADC ID and ADC password as a password, like this: my_adc_email@host.com:my_adc_password
I've been using Zeroconf on my Linux laptop with no problems whatsoever, eg. Safari sees my laptop as a web server (I run Apache for site demos) and there is no need to manually enter the server's IP. Unfortunately, there is no Printer Wizard bundled. Duh.
When game manufacturers start to release games designed to take advantage of this, are we going to see a huge increase in game complexity/detail
No, because most games depend more on the gpu rather than the CPU. The cpu is left to do tasks such as opponent AI, physics, etc, stuff that the dedicated hardware on the graphics card can't do.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's possible with MacOS X too, or even Windows.
It is possible. It always has been possible. All Sound Blaster cards (after the first Live! series) have a virtual input mixer called "WhatUHear". Selecting it as an input, you can record whatever goes to the card's DAC, without actually going through the DAC->ADC process. The quality is excellent. I've been using this method to capture some nice soundtracks from several games that didn't offer the music as wave or mp3.

Would prefer one.
Both great games from Introversion. There is also Darwinia (which I didn't like so much), but the other two, highly recommended.
