I had someone using my credit card once. I was still in possession of it which told me it was either someone who had been to my house or a server at a restaurant who took my card to ring me up.
I got phone numbers of the online stores where they were ordering things. I got the IP address of the person from the two places that he ordered stuff from and then from the web mail place where he registered a new address in my name. This IP address was from the same Central Florida ISP that I use which confirmed my suspicion that it was a local person. I go to call the ISP and of course they don't give me anything but said they would be happy to work with the police. I call the police and they said that even if they got the person's info from the ISP they wouldn't be able to prove which person in that household actually did anything. No video surveillance, no physical merchandise was purchased... I think it was complete bullshit that these lazy pigs wouldn't make one phone call to find out who it was. Now I'm probably still going to the same restaurant and tipping the asshole who stole my CC number.
I agree that its too little too late.
To me...the bayer filter should be gone altogether since the foveon x3 sensor came out.
If other camera makers would use this technology the price would come down.
So now if I were to get a Mac and triple boot Windows OSX and Linux...
Linux will only be able to read the Windows NTFS partition. Linux won't be able to do anything with the OSX partition (unless I use FUSE). Windows won't have access to anything other than itself. And I'm not sure about OSX, I've never used it.
I went to Chris Oliver's JavaFX Talk at JavaOne (recently renamed from F3).
He didn't even field any questions about startup time or comparing it to flash or ajax. They questions were asked and the people asking them were asked to step away from the microphone and go back to their seats. That is not what it is and this summary and article are dumb. This language has great potential but Sun needs to fix some stuff. They have a great deal planned for the next update of Java SE 6 to improve startup time.
yeah, it is obvious... they went to the store and bought some dehydrated OJ blood and dehydrated Nicole blood.
Just added water and put it all over the place.
I'm not sure either, but I would think that as the pro-pirates crack whatever keys they get their hands on, those new keys will make it into newer versions of the cracking software. I would imagine that anybody will be able to backup their own movies eventually.
Something makes me thing that having a local copy in place in your cdrom would take longer to load than a halfway decent network connection.
I saw the title of the article and initially thought : cool, that'd be nice to have a nice fast copy.
Then (in my head) I heard the sound of my cdrom spinning up to speed before reading an article and came to realize that most of what is on Wikipedia is just text and it loads fast enough for me and probably faster than the CD would.
I guess that would be okay for certain operating systems that have incremental releases.
It is probably harder to do for systems like Gentoo where you always get an up to date system at install.
If you set the bios back to 2006 and did an install of Gentoo, even if you did it from a 2005 CD, you'd still wind up with files created in 2007 on your system with dates of 2006.
Are they actually doing this? They didn't on the xbox. Nothing was ever installed to the hard drive. Only game saves.
I don't think it makes the Blu-ray worthless....its better than getting a game on 4 DVD's and having to either install it or switch when you get to the next level.
I thought that the 8 and 10 gig drives in the original xboxes were big.
The fact is that the game studios have had the ability to extend their games add new maps, allow users to create their own race tracks and all that stuff with the xbox but it never happened.
Other than game saves and music for in-game listening, what were these hard drives used for?
I understand people running Linux on their PS3 to do things like web browsing or other casual use. The only people who would really want a bigger hard drive are will figure out how to upgrade their hard drive anyway just like they did on the xbox.
Personally, I think it is kind of a bad idea for Sony to put a hard drive bigger than a Blu Ray disc in their system for pirating reasons. Not that you couldn't mount a network drive and store the movie on another computer anyway.

BTW, I had to use IE to even get to the specifications page, wouldn't work in Firefox. In IE it warned me that I needed to enter text for engraving before continuing...guess that is what was stopping it in FF too, but without the message.
I went to Lenovo and found their site really frustrating to use. When going through and picking different series of notebooks they would say up to 2.0 GHz T7200 but then when you go through it, you're stuck with a 1.66GHz.
Anyway, I did find one there that was kind within the price range. The only problem is that it came with Vista Business with no option to change or upgrade that.
If I got this, I would want to dual boot between Windows and Linux, but not the Business edition.
Well, as OSX is the reason that people who buy Macs are buying them in the first place
I'm looking at one because I want a small laptop that runs Linux. There are no other laptops from Dell, HP, Compaq, Gateway etc that have all the requirements for the same price.
Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz 4MB Cache
Screen <= 13.3 (12.1 is awesome, 15.4 is too big, 13.3 is the biggest I'd go)
Runs Linux(Intel Wireless, suspend, sound, video)
2 GB RAM
Hard drive >= 120GB
DVD Writer
I've priced things from Dell. I actually love my Girlfriend's Dell M1210. When I upgrade the HDD, add 2GB RAM, add DVD Writer, upgrade to the 2GHz 4MB Core 2 Duo....it is more expensive than the Apple. The display is probably a little better since the same resolution on a smaller screen, but still.
Slashdot Mirror
Will this be the end of patent problems unless they find a window which is more than 40 million years old?
Funny and sad at the same time.
Why couldn't this be implemented in the kernel and have the patches to that kernel be hosted in a country which doesn't care too much about licensing?
Because it didn't meet the minimum requirements for Vista or Leopard?

Is that correct?
I've seen an HDMI cable at Best Buy for $225.
Its a freakin digital signal. It either works or it doesn't.
Best Buy should be taken to court for outright lying to customers saying they'll get a better picture with thicker Monster HDMI cables.
Thats like saying if you use a better USB cable from your digital camera to your PC that your pictures will look better.
There is only one thing "on the whole" that people are satisfied with and that is preparation H!
Seriously, who needs to say "on the whole" twice in a summary. Looks like bait.

What would public domain be then?
Anyone can use your code, any way they want, and they don't have to mention anything?
I like that one.
Is "public domain" a kind of license?

Once compiled into bytecode a Vector<Hashtable<String,Vector<Integer>>> looks just the same as a regular vector of objects and the compiler takes care of all the casting for you.
They can do this because all checking is done at compile time. No features were added to the runtime to get this.
o w")).get(2)).intValue();
Once compiled into bytecode a Vector>> looks just the same as a regular vector of objects and the compiler takes care of all the casting for you.
No more
int i = ((Integer)((Vector)((Hashtable)vec.get(3)).get("w
Just
int i = vec.get(3).get("wow").get(2);
Well, this example used the auto-boxing feature too to convert the Integer to an int.
I just looked at the Sony you referred to.
