I am very sure those fingerprint readers are basic as they need to fit on a card. They won't check for pulse or similar. Even worse almost all readers that try that have bin tricked.
It's more or less a back port of Apple Pay back to a card.
I also don't believe those readers will endure bending and other impacts on cards for a long time.
there are some, very few, country domains that have such requirements. Often this leads that domain name registrar (or their resellers) offer a trustee setup that, for a small fee, register the name but you stay in control of it.
I was suprised that.EU has such requirements, they are quite well hidden in the "registration policy" (not the "rules for domains" or "terms and conditions").
relevant part of the registration policy:
In this first step the Registrant must verify whether it meets the General
Eligibility Criteria, whereby it must be:
(i) an undertaking having its registered office, central a
dministration or principal place of business within the European
Union, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, or
(ii) an organisation established within the European Union,
Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein
without prejudice to the application of national law, or
(iii) a natural person resident within the European Union,
Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein.
So that are rules that are not new or changed because of the brexit...
Yes. the TED Video is a demonstration of the FESTO Smartbird, see also Youtube Video.
This Video is a stupid mash-up. They seem to have found an small video drone, bird shaped, with fixed wings. Any of intelligence agency or a good RC plane builder can build those. But Smartbid is entirely different. As you can see in the above TED Video it has many organic build internal conjunction. The above shown picture and open body is much simpler.
So maybe the found a RC Plane that looks like a bird. Maybe it was even used by a foreign power in an Arabic country. But that video does not give you any clues beside some shaky videos and pictures....
Well, you probably dont want to have your servers depending on cows (or any other animals). There are some circumstances that they will fail:
animal disease (e.g. mad cow disease). government might order to kill them to spread its growth.
crop failure, crop prices. cows depend on food, if a crop failure/desease happens, crop prices will go up, so will be their food, as probably their poo as well.
Beside that, bio-energy does not count the CO needed for stuffing the animal with food, so you might to count all the chemicals, fuel and machinery a farmer will use to grow that animal into account.
Given those unreliableness, you would have to have a long time backup energy for that (like it would take time to get new, uninfected animals in case of an disease).
That given in account I would'nt go for poo-energy and stay with an alternative mix of green energy.
Opera also released its version 10.5. Their increase in downloads might not be only the result off being linked by the Broswerchoice Site, but people upgrading their browsers.
You are true about the current situation. There is a sign for hope though, if the Treaty of Lisbon will be accepted by Ireland et al, EP will have the power to rule on security matters, too.
It is a shame though that we just elected an parlament which voted against this snoop hole, which is ignored by the EU commision (that actually has the EU power at the moment).
Well if you RTFA it says in first paragraph that its NOT a accelerator but off-loader. Beside that it is proxying the connection so you have to change your logging to adept to the Real-IP being inside the http headers.
The argument that it is equal secure as true https as it transfers http in the "local subnet only": that vanishes if a machine in this subnet gets compromised.
As others mentioned, comparing such (nice) reverse proxy hack with a BIG-IP load balancer is a joke.
From http://appshopper.com/utilities/incognitoIncognito is an anonymous web browser for the iPhone and iPod touch. Now you can browse without leaving a history of any kind. Simply close the browser, and Incognito will erase the entire session!
Now you will no longer have to clear Mobile Safari's history just to hide a single entry, which rendered the URL auto-completion useless!
Are they kidding? Deleting browser and URL history might be as leaving less traces on that device, BUT for me, browsing anonymously means something like TOR...
Ineteresting point on the compressor is, you need a dictionary file.
Not everybody downloads Wikipedia (probably very few i guess) but if you would like have an simple word list (even compressed, too) that originates from wikipedia of your language you could use that as an refernce for compressio stuff
to get a) a good dictionary (for words of an language, not for content)
to get b) a big chunk of nonsense but useful for scientific (de)compression
pricing
There is no pricing, you can buy support, but you dont have to. If there are more vendors to sell it, you have compitition, which is good.
support
Driver support will increase as Dell would be interested to have all hardware supported. As they limited the PCs they deliver Ubuntu with, this must not be the case. But new technology/vendors might be selected by Dell for good linux support.
logistics
There might be a higher load on mirros, but as Dell is interested in having good performance, they might sponsor or provide a mirror server.
Overall I dont see real problems having new vendor to distribute Ubuntu.

QWERTY was invented to avoid jams physically to happen. Slower typeing was a side effect...

It is not in the marketplace. And it replaces the whole OS with a modified full disk encryption mod. But here is no uninstall path yet.
Well until GNU/Hurd is not running on mobile phones, i stick with android...
Remember US did split up AT&C into Bells? Try this with a big bad bank.

Wrong. Flash Video had VP6, a much older version, with worser performance compared to H.264. No VP8 in Flash at all.

Don't forget about Video 2000 another great underestimated video system...
This would make iPhones a serios competetor to business phones like Blackberrys et al.
Those patents cover GUI patents, they apply to window managers that provide virtual desktops. It has nothing to do with the Linux Kernel itself.
great! new way to find even more porn.

thanks to mods and threads below, it was modded up!
so...wikipedia dumps will now be using paq8hp12 instead of l33t 7zip ?
If they have some, we need them too

Just use a cryptophone or their free Windows Software.
