I haven't used truecrypt but I would imagine it would be hard to hide the fact that it is being used. You will need a truecrypt binary somewhere on your computer.
On Linux I'm sure stuff would be kept behind on ~/.bash_histroy for whatever mounting commands are issued.
XBMC started adding MythTV support. It freezes on me right now, both on my Xbox and with the Linux port of XBMC....but it shouldn't be long.
Note that this is different from the mythtv python extension for xbmc which works okay for recorded shows but not for live tv.
I think you're wrong. Sony only develops for their own hardware. Nintendo and Microsoft do the same. Its the other studios that try to go all the way across. So Apple developing solely for apple hardware doesn't mean they're not serious.
Actually, I miss the days where it mattered whether you had a SNES or a Genesis. Looks like we're starting to get back to that now that nobody knows how to program a PS3 (not trolling, I own one).
It used to be 10 percent of the games you could get for either system. Now it is that 10 percent of the games are exclusive.
I use XFCE but I won't burn with anything other than K3B...so that is loading the Qt as well as the KDE libraries.
What world do you live in? Disk space and memory are cheap.

You can do similar things with Swing but with a LOT more work. Also you'll feel like you're working against the system the whole time you're programming it.
I bought a book called "Filthy Rich Clients" after seeing some stuff at JavaOne last year. I got half way through it and realized everything was a hack.
Raising the drinking age to 21 is probably a good idea. Have to disagree with you there. People start drinking illegally when they're about 18 and stop getting shitfaced when they turn 21 because its not cool any more.
The problem with this is that they can drive when they start getting wasted. If anything the drinking age should be lessened to 3 years before you can drive. That way, beeing a teenager will mean more than saying "I'm a teenager", it'll mean you can drink at 13, 14, and 15...three years before you can drive. You'll be done with getting wasted an on to having casual drinks.
No kidding. Do they do this for every movie which shows drunk driving or only video games?
I'm against murder but I like to see it in movies and video games.
I'm also against time travel since you can destroy the universe, but its okay in movies and video games.
So one could argue that a 6 bit LCD display can only display 2^6 + 2^6 + 2^6 (192) unique colors.
One could, if one were an innumerate moron.
I'm just saying that it is the same argument that the people suing apple are making.
They're saying that dithering isn't really producing those colors.
Apple is saying that when you see one purple next to a slightly different purple that your brain sees it as a new purple color.
What I'm saying is that when you see purple, you're really seeing red next to blue and your brain sees it as purple.
It is the same argument, just down a level.
Maybe what apple needs to do is call a pixel a grouping of 6 subpixels.. RGBRGB, then they could say they have 281 Trillion colors but they would have to advertise their display resolutions as half of what they currently do.
Well, on an LCD the colors don't get overlapped anyway, so what you're looking at is nothing but dithered red, green and blue (at different intensities). So one could argue that a 6 bit LCD display can only display 2^6 + 2^6 + 2^6 (192) unique colors. An 8 bit LCD display can only display 2^8 + 2^8 + 2^8 (768) unique colors. The manufacturers used multiplication where they should have used addition.
Lets sue EVERY LCD manufacturer!
Saying Millions of colors is wrong. Hell, only 10 bit displays can even say thousands of colors.
Problem is that a whole lot of PCs are using the same 6-bit screens, too. If thats the "problem", then the "solution" is to buy a different monitor with your PC.
No such "solution" exists with Apple...you have to run OSX on Apple hardware, well, legally in some countries anyway
Personally, I use cp -a , I know I'd accidentally type rm instead of cp if I used -rf. And that would not be good in that command. Yeah, not something you want your fingers to get in the habbit of typing.
Much better off in a cron job anyway.
Almost every program I've recorded on TiVo from SciFiHD has serious problems multiple times during the show. When you watch a tivo'd HD channel you realize that stuff is being compressed twice right? D->A->D, then back to A when you watch it again.
Unless that Linux binary also exploits some service running as root the worst that can happen is an "rm -rf ~" Running arbitrary code on a Windows machine is worse since you can't play minesweeper without being an administrator. Not to downplay deleting your home directory, that would suck...I'm just saying its still not as bad.
This sounded (from the summary, I didn't RTFA) like he did a brute force solve on every possible combination out there (after eliminating ones that were symmetric or could be solved the same way). So, it seems like there were some scrambles which required 25 moves. If he used brute force to find the 25 move solution, thats the end of the problem. No magic is going to find a 24 move solution which a brute force didn't find.
This is why the government shouldn't have any say in education. I believe education should be like food. If you have children, you have to give it to them, it should be required. If you can't afford it, the gov. will help you out like they do with food-stamps. That way church-going morons can pay for teachers to tell students that god created the earth with burried with dinosaur bones and they never walked the earth, that evolution doesn't exist, that it is possible to turn water into wine and to walk on water. I'll send my kids and my money to a school taught by people with a brain. It is complete bullshit where my money is paying for teachers to not teach evolution.
It is nice to see that they kept the originals around. Wonder if other sites like flickr, myspace, and facebook keep the original pictures around that are uploaded or if they're just converted (resized) once and thrown away. Now if only they could get the audio and video in sync.
Reminds me of a story I read on here about ants being able to count. Some guy put stilts on ant legs when the ants got to some food source. He then hid their 'home' and on the way back the ants overshot where their home was. They also did it the other way around, put stilts on the ants on their way to food and took them off on the way back. The ants fell short.
I remember reading somewhere about some guy targeting javascript so that he could write in any language which has a front-end in LLVM and have it generate javascript.
I don't know javascript at all...so lets say he did this with Java.
Could I write a program in C, and have it target a JVM rather than a particular OS/Architecture? Would I get Java array bounds checking of my C code?
Yeah, I would bet those are very special cases where you get 3x performance. Of a C program that has 1000 functions probably only a small percentage of those functions could be sped up 3x and they're probably trivial and don't contribute much to the overall runtime of that program.
If any significant profiling has been done on CPU intensive programs the authors might already be doing optimizations at the C language level.
I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the gzip/bzip code but I would guess that processor hungry tools like those are already pretty optimized at the C language level if not assembly.
Perhaps optimizations like those to trick the gcc compiler into generating faster code has the reverse effect on LLVM?
Since when does going to a smaller process increase yields? As far as active cooling....why not have an external power supply and then you'd need even less cooling.

Interesting that they're using QT yet they don't release any native Linux binaries.
Shouldn't it be as easy as running qmake on a Linux box?
One could, if one were an innumerate moron.

Anyway, apparently ants can count higher than 4

Again, I know nothing.
I saw Project Wonderland at a JavaOne conference a while ago and it looked very promising. I'll be watching its development.

Did netcraft confirm it?
