When dealing with frame buffer out - your display - it's a simple calculation of pixels.H * pixels.V * color depth * frames per second.
With non-linear video editing, it's common to have multiple video files layered (bottom 3rd text overlays, filter layers, multiple video files overlaid for dissolve effects). And, you also have uncompressed audio streams for each video that can also be layered, as well as other audio streams to lay over the top (music, narration, effects). This is all multiplicative for bandwidth requirements. Plus, you are likely editing video that is in a higher resolution than your display (2K, 4K).
Adobe changing their file formats every version is simply a lever to force people to upgrade. If they break compatibility in a highly collaborative industry like prepress, when the photography studios upgrade, everyone downstream is forced to upgrade as well.
I like perpetual licensing - it allows you to buy software with project capital (tax incentives for business versus expense). It incentivizes the software publisher to actually add value in new releases - if they don't, then people don't buy the upgrade.
This change is purely because Adobe likes money, and wants more of it without doing more work.
Please tell me who makes a print layout program that is a feature-complete competitor to Adobe InDesign, and don't say QuarkXPress - they're even worse than Adobe.
The best part is that this is happening on the eve of Adobe canceling sales of perpetual licensing to Adobe Creative Suite products. If you are a volume license customer, you will no longer be able to buy ANYTHING BUT Creative Cloud as of June 1; and you get to pay Adobe every month whether they update anything or not as expense rather than capital purchase.
Because no one would ever use Fiber Channel for direct access to large disk pools, especially not for direct access to massive libraries of lossless HD video.
Now, change out the word "desktop" with "laptop" and you start to see some of the value. Yes, you can have a fiber channel controller on your laptop, and mount a couple exabytes of storage as a local volume.
He's not talking about a display (what you're using), he's talking about video (as in, non-linear edit of HD video / 4K video in uncompressed or lossless-compressed format).
Big difference, especially with the CPU-bound nature of USB.
You seem to be forgetting a lot of actual history.
Both space programs were born from military ICBM research, and the need to put satellites in orbit. It just so happened that there were propaganda opportunities of having the first $thing in [space | orbit | spacewalk | rendezvous | docking | trans-lunar flight | moon]. Only after all that was over, and extra parts were used for space labs (Skylab) did NASA and their Soviet counterparts decide to have an orbital handshake, and to do so, the Soviets had to outfit their capsule with the proper docking hardware to accommodate an Apollo capsule.
Even then, there were far more launches of military spy satellites than human-occupied flights.
No, the "working together" aspect of space exploration is a very new trend. The overall trend is a nationalistic chest thumping exercise, and has been since Sputnik launched.
It's been known for a while that any enterprise-grade encryption software worth talking about can do that. It's called key escrow, and it's necessary to recover company data should the user leave / get fired / forget their password / etc.
Well, as their actual policy states that the law enforcement agency must deliver the actual phone in good working condition, with a search warrant or court order specifically stating the IMEI and FCC ID of the device on it to Cupertino in order to get data extracted, I'm guessing that they can't simply toss a data dumper on it.
If they could just do that, then they could do that over the air.
They require the phone to be shipped to Cupertino, in good working order. So I'm guessing that if you execute a remote wipe (which, on an encrypted iPhone constitutes the disk controller basically forgetting the encryption key), that law enforcement is fucked. And, because we're not talking about a magnetic medium, there's very little forensic recovery possible.
They don't supply shit to law enforcement - their policy says that the device has to be shipped to Cupertino in good working order, where they will do the data extraction only with a proper search warrant or court order. The data is then provided on optical media:
Specifically, the user generated active files on an iOS device that are contained in Apple’s native apps and for which the data is not encrypted using the passcode (“user generated active files”), can be extracted and provided to law enforcement on external media. Apple can perform this data extraction process on iOS devices running iOS 4 or more recent versions of iOS. Please note the only categories of user generated active files that can be provided to law enforcement, pursuant to a valid search warrant, are: SMS, photos, videos, contacts, audio recording, and call history. Apple cannot provide: email, calendar entries, or any third-party App data.
See section I of the linked document, entitled "Extracting Data from Passcode Locked iOS Devices".
As far as I know, there hasn't ever been an engine of that particular size ever built before as well as it is even larger than the F1 engines used by the Saturn V
And all of that is standard marketing practices; and marketing is necessary when you're trying to get people to buy in on your philosophy.
For example, problems become "issues", because problems get fixed, while issues get resolved. "Fix" sounds like something is broken, where "resolution" is much more positive. Or, at least, that's the bullshit that was given to me once.
The whole world shines shit and calls it gold. Free software is no different.

I would prefer the Chinese spies to the U.S. spies.
With a Chinese phone on US networks, you get both at the same time! Added value!
Nope.

That's funny, because we just ordered a nice bunch of licenses on our volume contract in preparation for the June 1, 2014 cutoff date.
Who gives a shit when the article was written, it's more important as to when the change is actually happening.

Yeah, I thought so.

Hooray for not having competition?

Yeah, because most Android device manufacturer's legal policy about data extraction from phones is far better for privacy advocates.
Wait, where are their policies published again? They're not?
Except that they aren't pulling that stuff remotely, as their policy requires the device be sent to Cupertino in good working condition.
Doesn't sound very remote to me.
It's been known for a while that any enterprise-grade encryption software worth talking about can do that. It's called key escrow, and it's necessary to recover company data should the user leave / get fired / forget their password / etc.
How is this a mystery to people?

Or, smash it. Apple specifically states that the phone must be in good working condition for them to do shit.

It has a lot to do with being founded by a railroad baron who didn't want to be the richest guy in the graveyard.
Plus, the SSME was space-constrained. They only had so much volume in the back of the orbiter, and they had to fit three of them in there.
With a traditional rocket stack, you can make the thing as big as you want, as long as it doesn't affect flight dynamics too much.
As far as I know, there hasn't ever been an engine of that particular size ever built before as well as it is even larger than the F1 engines used by the Saturn V
It might be a larger size, but it doesn't outperform it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R...
Rocketdyne F1: 1,740,000 pounds of thrust
Raptor: 1,000,000 pounds of thrust (targeted)
Samsung could have motioned for a change of venue, if they were at all concerned by this.

Ahh, love the "enlightened" Slashdot poster.
Jury doesn't agree with my [biased, uninformed] views of the legal system; they are RACISTS.
Proving a negative is very hard. Instead, how about RMS (and you, by extension) prove that most commercial software is "likely to spy".
Yes, there is spyware in some commercial software. No, it is by far NOT the majority. To say otherwise is ludicrous, and pure FUD.
And all of that is standard marketing practices; and marketing is necessary when you're trying to get people to buy in on your philosophy.

He even said as much when he ranted about the use of LLVM, because it wasn't GPL v3 compatible (by design).
Heaven forbid people use a tool chain that is even more free than his particular flavor of free.
