In other words, it defrangments after the file has been returned to the program needing it, as a background process. The buffer to memory is a pre-existing optimization, so the only real trade off is the background processor usage goes up. If you aren't doing major work at the time, you'll never notice. (And if you are doing major work, you probably are using files larger than 20MB in size anyway.)
Files larger than 20MB just aren't defragmented, unless you have another tool to do it.
Baystar must think the same. Otherwise, why call selling stock at a loss a 'financial opportunity'?
It is an opportunity, if you realize it is insanely overpriced right now, and will only go down in the future. Never mind that you are going to loose money by selling the stock at a lower price than you bought it for; they are selling it at the highest price it will ever be in the future. This is their best opportunity to minimize their losses.
Yep. It's there. (Though it may be part of the developer bundle, which I have installed also. Of course, the developer bundle comes standard, it just isn't installed standard.)
In theory. In practice, your distilled water will probably pick up enough silver and lead ions from the circuit traces to be conductive. That's if you managed the required level of purity required in the first place.
There are a lot of things that are poisonous to humans in the environment. Being poisonous in large doses is not a problem.
The problems would occur if it is poisonous in small or cumulative doses, or if it breaks down into something that is. If it clears out quickly, and does no lasting harm (to humans, plants, animals, land, water or air) while doing so, it is environmentally safe. Just don't drink it.
The Netherlands is a small, highly populated country. It is easy to cover the entire area, and there is plenty of revenue to do it with. Also, it is flat, and there are very few true skyscrapers to interfere with the signal.
The US is a large country, with places that are highly populated, and places that aren't. There are mountains, and some of the tallest buildings in the world. Cell phone companies concentrate their coverage efforts where they think it will help them the most. Cities are usually covered, but sometimes there are dead spots due to buildings. The countryside... It depends on the area. How far you are from a major city/highway will play into it, as well as the population density, and the economy of the area.
Also, in Europe most, if not all, of the cell phone companies use the same tech, which means they can share networks. The US was one of the pioneers in cell phones, so there are companies that use gen-1 tech, gen-2 tech, gen-3 tech... And the networks don't work together, which makes it hard for companies to work together to extend networks.
The 'Can you hear me now? - Good.' is from an ad that plays over here: one company advertises that they have coverage nearly everywhere with that tagline.
You can be tried for breaking a law anywhere you have interacted with someone/something. If you interacted with someone in NH you can be tried in NH. (Of course, you can try to claim CA has precedence, and you can argue for ages who is the best jurisdiction, but court precedent in this is that they follow the strictest set of privacy laws. IANAL, but I researched wiretapping law before buying a phone voice recorder.)
As for the email server... You are providing a service. It is up to the user to delete/save. A case like this has never come up, to my knowledge, and it would be really easy to argue that email is 'expected' to be saved. (Where a chat is not.)
That's moderately standard: Some states in the US have one-party monitoring laws, some have two-party, and some have none. (You just need to be able to hear it.)
Be careful, though: If it is legal in your area and illegal in the other person's you can be called to their state and tried there. So if a person in Texas were to save the log of a chat with someone in New Hampshire, they could be brought to New Hampshire and jailed/fined there.
It's news because it is the first Mac OS X specific virus/trojan in existence. No one claimed OS X was immune to them, just that they hadn't occurred yet. Now they have. That fact is news.
Agreed. I haven't bought any CD's recently, because I haven't listened to anything that is available in CD format. I listen to Internet radio (and my own collection) all the time, and can't find any of the songs down at Tower Records. But I can find them online, where I can buy them...
You mean being a full time musician should not be a full job? In heaven's name, why?
Music, fiction, programming, painting, sculpture, and a few other 'creative' jobs are the few that a computer system/robot cannot do without real AI. I'm all for anything that can keep them profitable, so people will actually have jobs.
Well, not anything. Anything that actually works, and allows others to also try their hand at the jobs...
IBM sells two things: Hardware and Support. Open Source doesn't hurt either. In fact, it makes it more likely IBM can sell Support. (And may help sell hardware, especially if IBM provide better developer-level support, or Open Source can help out entrenched opposition...)
No conspiracy. Supporting Open Source makes IBM money. Nothing more.
To drive the nail in the coffin, a local telco is wiring the city with fiber over the next 4 years and offering Very high speed internet, digital cable, and phone service. We should FINALLY see some Real competition in all services (phone cable, and internet.)
At least until the local telco is bought by the company that owns the cable company...
A print publication has what, a two-three month (minimum) leadtime? I'm sure it'll get published as soon as possible. The article is probably already submitted.
In the meantime they've had an independent review, and put out the news as quickly as possible. A reasonable compromise.
AAC supports DRM. It does not require it. The DVD forum may or may not put it in. (I would suspect they would, but it is not required.) That may have been a requirement for consideration, or it may not have.
There are other reasons to use AAC besides DRM. It has smaller file sizes for the same quality level as MP3 for instance. (Ogg may be better, but it's open to debate.)

Or better yet: type in a QWERTY layout on a keyboard with a different layout.
If you can touch type a couple different keyboard layouts this is easy.
I believe the actual sequence is this:

Yeah, but it is getting all them from the bank that they financed to buy stock in SCO originally, which is selling off all their stock.
SCO won't see any of this money. It just keeps the bottom from dropping out of their stock price a little longer...
Baystar must think the same. Otherwise, why call selling stock at a loss a 'financial opportunity'?
It is an opportunity, if you realize it is insanely overpriced right now, and will only go down in the future. Never mind that you are going to loose money by selling the stock at a lower price than you bought it for; they are selling it at the highest price it will ever be in the future.

The backers are getting out. Watch SCO burn...

No, legality is in the eye of the beholding judge.
Maybe he has a job where he has to support an system he has no (or little) say in designing.
He didn't say his computer needed the patch. Maybe he just has to install it on other computers...

BBEdit does LaTeX. It has built-in macros and syntax coloring for it.

I wonder why the difference. It's not like I hide my address...
Sure. It's great for testing and training new filters as they come out...
Also, since it's all stored separately, it saves having to think about deleting it. And it can form an interesting historic progression.

My total email, for about the same span of time (plus some that I had saved from before), is 548MB.
So, 1GB is about 4 years of email for me.
I think at this point IBM has no main conspiracy.
