Intel is not trying to kill GCC or anything. They try very hard to make ICC compatible with gcc and g++ (ABI and command line interfaces)... so that you can just set CC=icc in your makefile and be on your way.
It was a big source of pride for them that they got the linux kernel to build in icc without patching. *eye roll*
But they don't expect every linux user to buy ICC or anything. They position it for use for performance reasons.
If each senator gets 1/100th of a Congressional budget, then how many senators does it cost per gallon of gas, and how many of them does it cost me per mile? Can we work LoC's in there somehow?
Nearly all music is recorded and processed at 48kHz. The Red Book standard unfortunately went with 44.1 (for some esoteric reason having to do with syncing with an analog video standard or something back in the 80s). So, there's at least a down-conversion from 48 to 44.1, which isn't the end of the world but you lose some fidelity in the process since its really hard to do that "right" (and its only been recently that people have stopped using langrangian techniques and used truncated sinc functions or polyphase filters to do a decent job without it taking 50 forevers)
that I used to work in. Hahaha... if I still worked in Greensboro I'd walk down there and say hello to the receptionist, tell them Tyrone King is seriously pissed off.
but I could film an episode of (insert the name of a show corresponding to your fan fiction) based on a script "adapted" from your material by a screenwriter, and not have to pay you a red cent. Copyright only extends to cover the material in question, not the underlying ideas nor scenarios. And I'll change some things superficially, rewrite the dialog to better fit my cast, and so forth.
Gathering it in one place doesn't change what I could do with the material. That hasn't changed.
Anyway, I'm sure your fanfiction is utter crap, so it's not like it'd get passed around the office. Writers and producers will scan through the fandom, look for popular ideas and themes that resonate with the fanbase, and then make new material that caters to that.
...it seems the only good fanfics are the ones that center around stories and characters that had poor writing behind them anyway. Basically it functions as a bridge to the audience; you go in already knowing something about the background and the characters, and presumably the author has a new angle or bone to pick and would like to "sell you" that. Writers scratching an itch.
And if the fics are good, then the authors are already writers of original work that is popular on their own merits. This is just a way for them to "fix" what is broken about some popular media they enjoyed. Or they may find it as a challenge (you can argue that it's easy or more difficult to write a successful fanfic -- subject to the rabid whims of the fandom -- then it is to write about characters and situations entirely under your control).
But the rest of it is crap. To filter: ignore any stories based on popular, long-running, or throughly-imagined franchises.
It runs content scanners, checks attachments (including peeking inside ZIP files), blocks phishing sites, blocks viruses and malware, and so on. It automatically downloads updates every few minutes, and comes with a year of support. That's pretty comprehensive for the price. Or you could just read the article.
I don't think that will ever happen. And I don't think it's even that important. Pantone spot colors aren't all that useful (even in Photoshop) since like 80 (?) percent of them are outside of the RGB colorspace, and even more of them are outside of CYMK. It's useful if you want to mock stuff up. Or if you want to add color tags to an XXX-tone multichannel image. But then you're probably futzing with specific colors outside of the application and doing test print runs before showing them to some bigwig who flips open the chips and picks a different shade.
I think a subversive little palette file is probably good enough for mockup and to get around the perceived need for Pantone "support". It's not like you need to license the color formulations...
We don't have compulsory service in the military anymore anyway. If we did, there might be imputus from those interested in evolving tactics to draft women into mixed and segregated training units as well.
However, we have a voluntary service. And women don't want to serve in separate units (by and large) so... there you are.
Well, I know that most poor casual gamers would rather play the illegally obtained ROMs since they are, by definition, poor and thus price sensitive (who wants to pay $40 to play a GBA adaptation of a game they already bought ten years ago?) It's pretty crazy. Takes all of ten minutes to find a torrent of every release on a platform, separated by region.
And Palm Pilots and laptops run those emulators pretty nicely; even if they don't have much disposable income they might have access to one of those, especially if supplied by their job.
And I use emulators (in additional to my consoles) at home on my PC. I don't think I'm alone there.
Good fucking god. I want our old Nortel system back. At least then you didn't have to press 3-digit sequences for common functions. And apparently no one in our corporate telecom office could figure out the email/voicemail integration or the web management interface. It's in a state of "hey I can see LDAP" but doesn't actually do shit. Very irritating.
but that would only apply if they were released the same year. The GBA is over 5 years old. We're not talking about the GBA-DS, just the GBA.
We're making a comparison under these assumptions:
1) You would think that the market for GBAs has been saturated, or that new players (i.e. kids) would opt for a GBA-DS to be able to play games for both systems. 2) In otherwords, there is a market comprised late-technology-adopters who are cost sensitive, and are probably buying the units for themselves for the purpose of playing specific games (perhaps SNES conversions... more represented on the GBA than the DS). The other segment of the market are gifts from [parents] to children who don't know the difference, and want it to play movie/TV/etc adaptation properties which comprise a large portion of the existing GBA title library.
Therefore, the market for the PS3 ("serious gamers") is outsized by poor retro gamers who don't know how to use emulators, and tweens who want to play Harry Potter.
Reply to another post. I love to hear your 12-year old mouth whine and brag about the superiority of his penis, I mean pump-up tennis shoes, I mean -- I'm sorry, I meant PS3.
*shakes head* Sony even sucks in professional video now. I'd rather buy ten Samsung CCD cameras for the price of one Sony.
A terabyte really is a mega-megabyte (1024*1024*1024*1024). That's all that matters. It is a useful property of the kilobyte to be a power of two size (many related reasons for this). As such, it would be bad if a terabyte was assumed to be decimal and not binary, because it could not be expressed in a simple mulitple of kilobytes, let alone the convienence of raising the coefficient to a power.
The only people it seems to actually bother are boorish computer enthusiasts who are trying to cobble together RAIDs on a shoestring budget and are outrage to discover that their 3-disk RAID5's of 500-marketing-GB apiece does not equal 1TB of porn storage.
Of course that is really 1-marketing-TB, so why this bothers them, I don't know. They should be bugging MS (oh, I'm sorry, Micro$haft) for a patch to shell32.dll that reports the base-10 size they expect.
Of course, when they come crying that the low-level disk-check, partitioning, and defragmenting tools actually report the "real" size to contrary, considering their reliance of "real KB" units for sector and cluster sizing... what are you going to do?
Just deal with it. XXXXbytes are not SI units, and never will be.
1) Magnatrons typically operate at >600W into a cavity, not the 1W open-air patterns that WiFi devices operate at. 2) Microwaves are dangerous because they cause hydrogen to oscillate, which heats up wet things. The much shorter wifi and longer cell phone radio waves do not interact readily with flesh -- they pass through it.
Look at the "Suite A" algorithms. A lot of them are understood to be (older) implementations of PKI, such as FIREFLY. But now that ECC-PKI and AES are out there and essentially implemented things the NSA thought needed to be implemented (or already did, perhaps experimentally), and these things have been tested and hammered on, well they said, fine, let's start using it. So now you can do Top Secret on AES (with a NIST-approved implementation, of course)
There may be 5 media players. And 5 CD reading/writing packages. BUT Guess what all those 5 media players have in common? FFMPEG. _The_ way to encode and decode audio and video. Guess what all those CD burners have in common? cdrdao, cdparanoia, mkisofs and cdrecord. _The_ ways to do low-level CD/DVD copying, ripping, mastering and burning, respectively.

Invariably, when a site gets popular, it attracts the attention of people who would like to ruin your shit. Things like this happen.
