Yes it really does work that way. Any PCI device in your system can read/write to any location it can address. If the device only has 32-bit PCI then it is limited to the lower 4G of memory space, if it is 64-bit PCI then it can go anywhere.
There is an IOMMU (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOMMU) but I am not very familiar with it. More modern machines than I was working with would probably implement this for protection from the device.
Its probably already been said here, but they have access to the source code. If the original developers feel that strongly about it they can compile it from your source and get it listed on the app store too. And they can foot the bill for releasing it too.
H.264 does use keyframes but the way it works is in such a way that only a certian type of keyframe would work the way you suggest. It is perfectly possible to have a keyframe that by itself doesn't refer to anything else but you wouldn't be able to decode any frames after that one because following frames could refer to an even earlier keyframe. Each frame that can be predicted from is put into a queue and rotated out as newer frames enter the queue (with some other exceptions). So you can have, for instance, 100 frames you could choose to predict from, 10 of which could be keyframes. You could search the stream for a special type of keyframe that tells it that no frame following this one refers to anything prior. But the standard doesn't say you ever have to have one of those except for the first frame of the file.
Even if you don't trust the EPA, at least you can get a report on exactly what is in the water coming out of your tap. Just try getting that information for a bottle of water.
I big thing with this is that there are 2 CPU cores on the one die. There is an ARM9 processor and a TI C64x DSP core. Think AMP (Asymentric Multi Processing) with the DaVinci stuff for now.
This allows the processor that is good at branching and control code to execute that and the DSP to execute the filters that it is good at.
Although I hate spam as much as the next guy, is participating in a DDOS attack the way to bring spammers to their knees?
The spammer already should have thought about what kind of traffic would be generated by the spam sent out. The only reason they could handle sending out that many requests for people to visit thier site is because of the low response rate. Well, this would only be responding to their request for visitors.
My company has several Sprint DSL lines here in Las Vegas (nevada) at buildings other that our offices. The DSL service is ok, we have a problem much more often than we should but when they are up the speed is good 512K/128K. The biggest problem is with the customer support not even being able to figure out that the DSL line isn't at the building our office is in. Hell, they don't even know the phone number to our office, let alone where our lines are at.
A few of the problems:
1. Service is just turned off at the CO. Our modem finds the modem on the other side but no data is able to get there and back.
2. We have static address on each line. They gave away one of our ips to another customer 4 times.
3. For an on-site call, they entered a ticket, gave me the ticket number and then 3 weeks later claimed the ticket never existed so we had to start the process all over.
All this would be bad enough if it was a personal account, but come on, this is a business account.
I had a similar experience in an electical engineering class.
However... The class required OrCAD 8 but not one computer on campus had it installed or could it be installed on. The previous version was installed on 6 computers but the functionality of it was not even similar, so all the training on the program was useless.
My point is that if the school is going to require a specific peice of software they better at least provide access to the software on their computers. But I totally agree with requiring specific tools to ease in grading for the TAs.
First, there is very good censorware for libraries. It's called putting the computers in the middle of the room where anyone might happen to look over you sholder, complain to the librarian, and have you kicked out. If your library has a big problem with porn (i.e. many complains daily) then just run a slide show on the circulation desk computers that runs through the newer files in the netscape cache directories of the web browsers. These ideas will be FAR more effective then a software only solution.
I disagree with this because I have worked in several university computer labs (that were next door to a High School) and being in a very public place never detured anyone from trying to view porn. I also run several sites in malls and we were required by the management to install filtering software and there are lots of attempts every day.
I happen to believe in creation but I still don't think evolution should not be taught. It just challenges your ideas and helps to reinforce your beliefs. I also don't think school is the place for religious theories to be taught.
And a theory can never be proven correct, only not proven wrong.

Just order the 8 piece rolls or 2 pieces of sushi.
But your screwed if you wanted an odd number.

They send you a FIN packet. RST is only for exceptional situations.

Yes, but he wasn't a U.S. patent clerk.
You suck at trolling and even starting a troll... You have to do it right.
I use Microsoft everyday and love it. I want Bill Gates to have my baby and Linux sucks.
No. Only odd numbered problems are in the back of the book not even problems.

Mine topped out at over 550 MBytes of memory. Luckily I have a 1G swap and 256 RAM.
