The correct way to do this would be `find . -name "*.txt" -exec wc {} +`
the -exec in all modern (i.e anything that supports -print0) find will expand the {} to proper filenames when given a +. And you get the bonus that you don't have to shell-escape the \; at the end.
Two years ago, VMware was the only serious player in the enterprise hypervisor market. It could demand a price premium and had weight with other software platform vendors to demand support.
Now, with Hyper-V being somewhat more mature and with the Xen product line, VMware is falling into a competitive market. Naturally, there will be an erosion of market share in that case.
The bigger threat that faces VMware is the same threat that faced Netscape in the 1990s-- VMware is a competitor of Hyper-V which Microsoft can include "for free" in its server operating systems. And Microsoft still has the same monopoly influence over the major hardware vendors (to discourage pre-installs or reseller agreements). And it can control the licensing for its operating systems to inconvenience VMware customers (you have to buy a separate license for each ESX VM, but if you run on Hyper-V you get 10 VM licenses for free) and/or control its support of its enterprise application stack (We'll only support Exchange/Sharepoint/SQL Server/Link/IIS/whatever if it's running on Hyper-V. If it's ESX, please reproduce the problem on physical hardware to make sure it's not an ESX issue)
In the case of fixed-base (like security) cameras, there is very little camera shake that would blur the image. So tracking the motion of the camera (via 3-axis accelerometer for example) wouldn't help.
Unless you can compute separate motion vectors for each element in the image (think people walking in different directions, each face to deblur would have a different motion vector) this would not seem to improve the performance.
And, of course, the choice of motion vectors would have a huge impact on the reconstructed image. It could easily turn an identifying scar from "across" the cheek to "down" the cheek. I would hope the criminal justice system will have trouble proving anything based on photoshopped evidence.
What a great material to wrap around my credit cards when they're in my eel-skin wallet.
The eel skin has its electric field left over from its life shocking the s*** out of the fish it eats, which of course translates after death into a magnetic field that wipes the magstripe info from my credit card.
With a layer of this between them, I wouldn't have to worry about that.
And for that matter, this kind of shielding would probably wreck havoc on communications to the RFID chips on the "smart pay cards" like SpeedPass, so that people couldn't steal my money by putting a reader under the subway seat.
Note to Massachusetts' politicians: Such videos will be used against you at some point. Count on it. If you don't care about the privacy of the citizens, at least think of your self interest before voting for this.
Which is why the first thing any legislative reform should do is apply personal liability for the sponsors of unconstitutional laws.
If there's one thing that bugs me about NASA, it's their reluctance to reuse successful designs, in favor of starting a new (unproven) platform. I know they build "on the shoulders of the men who went before", but it seems like there's a lot of NIH in their projects.
We've had 2 rovers on Mars that exceeded their design lifespan by an order of magnatude, and have provided a lot of useful science. Why not spend the small amount of money to manufacture a dozen more on the same design, and drop them onto mars? Heck, how would that same design function on the moon? Or on Europa?
Instead, a lot more money is spent on designing the "next generation" rover platform that won't be ready to launch for 8 years.
Why not build a 2nd hubble telescope while the JWST is still being designed? Why did we spend 30 years not building reusable orbital craft (aka space shuttles) when all it would take is to follow an existing blueprint? (Not to mention abandoning the Apollo/Saturn platform for manned spaceflight)
Of course, I am not a rocket scientist, and I'm not a political administrator trying to justify NASA's budget, but wouldn't it make sense to keep doing what has worked?
What they should have done is skipped 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, and gone directly to Firefox 10 (since it's more advanced than IE 9).
When you're fighting a technology war, why not abuse version numbers to gain an advantage as well. It worked for "Slackware '96" when Windows 95 was released.
Hang on a sec, I thought the right-wing theology was that private industry was the solution to all the world's problems.
Now I'm hearing (third-hand, admittedly, since I really don't want to waste the energy to WatchTFA) that there is some new class of corporation that is in fact in bed with the evil government?
I'm shocked. Next thing you'll hear is that some of the fine, upstanding private companies that are eliminating government waste in the defense industry (aka defense contractors) are not, in fact, providing the best service to our armed forces for the lowest prices, and are influencing political decisions to benefit themselves, rather than to do their patriotic duty and save {money|lives|morals|democracy}.
Having RTFA, there is absolutely no content in there.
There's no example photograph of what they saw through google earth (just an inscrutable picture of a pile of rocks), nothing about the history of why ancient peoples would have built this pattern of structure, not even a link to Wikipedia about anything.
Ok, well, they do link to google.com/earth, but seriously, could they have written less content?
There is a quote that I can't be bothered to look up the originator that says
Debate rages on about whether 0 or 1 is the best starting index for arrays. My suggestion of 0.5 was dismissed without, I felt, proper consideration.
Of course, as we've seen elsewhere in the scientific community, we should be using a weighted average, so in fact, since there are so many more programming languages that use "0" as the starting index, the proper starting index should be 0.2774931....
It's a good thing Microsoft places so much value on keeping the user experience the same across its various upgrades. Certainly a user of Microsoft Office didn't have to change their mannerisms when they switched from Office 2003 to Office 2007's "ribbon".
Certainly, all of my XP habits still apply to Windows 7's Aero. None of the functionality has moved around in the slightest.
And it's also a good thing Microsoft places a lot of value on interoperability. Certainly they have never seen an incompatibility that prevents Active Directory from working with other LDAP solutions. Or certain Windows code that creates spurious error messages when run on a competitor's version of DOS.
I give Microsoft all the credit it deserves for making reports like the possible.
The only thing that will stop blatantly unconstitutional laws from being passed is for the sponsors of the legislation to be held personally liable for the damages caused by laws ruled unconstitutional.
Personal liability (of CEOs/CFOs for example) has improved the corporate accounting system, and reduced corporate financial fraud. No, it's not perfect, but it certainly has improved under SOX.
