Half those players were involved in DLNA (DHWG) and look how well that worked out. Hint: most DLNA servers need client-specific profiles to hack the data streams so that they render correctly on the client.
As of November 2015, there are 13 promoter members and 171 contributor members. The promoter members are:
Arris, AwoX, Broadcom, CableLabs, Comcast, Dolby Laboratories, Intel, LG Electronics, Panasonic, Samsung Electronics, Sony Electronics, Time Warner Cable, and Verizon.
...but Home Depot's attorneys argued that those customers couldn't prove that they were harmed by the theft of their credit card information.
Well if that's the case then you won't mind defense counsel and all C-level officers of the company submitting an inventory of their full bank account and credit card information? Sure, such a submission would be on the public record... but you can't prove that any harm will come from it.
Rotary Valve and Sleeve Valve engines have been around over a hundred years. Itala was working on one in 1912. Charles Yale Knight was working on one in 1901. The only ones I've ever owned were 4-stroke engines for model aircraft from RCV. But now I only use electric.
If you're thinking STARTTLS then you're encrypted transport system is already broken. Use the proper SMTPS ports. A number of ISPs (including TPGi in Australia) use Cisco PIX appliances (and other) to intercept SMTP tcp/25 traffic from their users. And they force unencrypted connections by not reporting STARTTLS in its EHLO response. Your privacy and security, broken in the name of "SPAM control."
I haven't seen a Winchester platter pack since visiting the data center at the Enogerra army barracks in the 1980's. I wonder if they're still using them?:)
I think it depends on the shop. New releases in Australia tend to be around the AUD35.00 mark, more for the collector and special box editions. I saw at JB Hi-Fi over the weekend that Cowboys & Aliens was 9.98 and Aeon Flux (the movie, not the series) was 4.98. I saw The Martian, relatively new release, being flogged at Target for 14.98. Prices do come down over time but not quickly.
I'll let you in on a little secret: what host operating system is used is not a pressing issue for most game developers.
File system access APIs are probably the least critical item on the road map. The biggest problem is the graphics API. Windows favours DirectX, most linuxes favour OpenGL, OS X tends towards OpenGL as well. PlayStation 4, on the other hand, uses Sony's proprietary GNM and GNMX APIs to get access to the custom silicon in the GPU. While PS4's use of GDDR5 is great for on-GPU operations the bandwidth between the system and GPU is atrocious and leads to a whole slew of different performance tuning issues and considerations than you'd see on desktop system. Once you have your engines nailed down on each platform most work goes into tweaking assets to keep graphics performance consistent.
Here are a few reasons that option exists: some people have a fear of being trapped underground and don't want to use tunnels; depending on your country, tunnels are usually toll roads and people are averse to paying tolls when they already have to pay for a license and vehicle registration (which is supposed to go towards road building and maintenance); and lastly, GPS signals don't work underground.
I wonder if it's actually the GPS at fault or if it's the personal assistant software like Siri and Cortana? If I trusted Siri to get "How do I get to..." correct then I would have been drowned a few times by now. Whenever I ask her "How do I get to [blah] Annerley Road" she selects a route to Annalee Road, South Ockenden - in England, on the other side of the planet!
After watching the demo videos I can't see any *substantial* changes from the 4.x series (additional menu options and a pull out formatting dock, that's about it). Sounds like marketing bullshit to me.
Any directory in the DLL search path for a normal application installed in a normal location is only writable by an (elevated) administrator user. If you can drop a random DLL file into such a folder you've already got administrator rights on the machine, so why make things any more complicated?
You've obviously never heard of ClickOnce then. ClickOnce deployment technology, available since.NET Framework 2.0, allows a signed application and its related DLLs to be downloaded into a folder within the user's own AppData folder structure and executed from there. It doesn't require Administrator rights to do this because it's within the user's own AppData folder structure. Just because an application is signed doesn't make it trustworthy.
That's crap. If it was about anonymous payments and "terrorism" then they'd be ending anonymity for cash transactions as well. Virtual currencies are being legislated so that they can tax them, nothing more.
You're probably correct otherwise this statement from the blog post makes no sense:
We certainly do not take this lightly, and we appreciate the millions of customers who have used the service, as well as the hard work and dedication of our product team over the past 4+ years.
If they had millions of customers surely that's a decent chunk of revenue... or is nobody actually paying for the service?
It's a fairly significant change of behaviour. There might be valid reasons to issue rm -rf/, such as to erase a system before a clean installation. You should not expect that to erase critical firmware data and brick the motherboard because it's never been able to do that previously. That said if I was erasing a system I'd probably be booting from a LiveCD and reformatting the old sda.
And it just won't die. Before Windows Phone it was Windows Mobile. Before Windows Mobile it was PocketPC on phones. Before PocketPC on phones it was Windows CE on phones. And it's disturbing to see Windows CE is still getting around on ultra-cheap Chinese-made GPS navigators. Just die, already!
I agree that he should get into the delivery truck business... but if he had any intentions of doing that then why did his co-founder leave to start Wrightspeed?
I guess you've never rebooted a computer with either an nVidia or an AMD/ATI video card in it. It's very common for the boot screen (and even the desktop immediately after login) to briefly display old content from prior to the reboot. I see this on Linux, OSX and Windows machines every single day. It's not a Diablo problem, it's that the video drivers don't even bother initializing video RAM to a known state at driver startup let alone before allocating memory to applications.

Does this consortium plan to set standards for security?
Sure like they did for UPnP.
Which is also on the OCF web site, UPnP Specifications

It was only a few years ago that SFPD officers and Apple employees were busting down doors together to recover (lost, not stolen) iPhone prototypes. Did Apple Impersonate Police To Recover the Lost iPhone 5?

Because these two blocks of code are not the same (spot the difference). Here is block 1:
static int ....)
.... // <=
....
qla_tx_tso(qla_host_t *ha, struct mbuf *mp,
{
if ((*tcp_opt != 0x01) || (*(tcp_opt + 1) != 0x01) ||
(*(tcp_opt + 2) != 0x08) || (*(tcp_opt + 2) != 10)) {
return -1;
}
}
Here is block 2:
static int ....)
....
....
qla_tx_tso(qla_host_t *ha, struct mbuf *mp,
{
if ((*tcp_opt != 0x01) || (*(tcp_opt + 1) != 0x01) ||
(*(tcp_opt + 2) != 0x08) || (*(tcp_opt + 3) != 10)) {
return -1;
}
}

I know, I know, people have already commented that it's a dupe. But if we can have dupe stories all the time, why not dupe comments as well? :)

Yet 50 years later, the IT industry has turned full-circle.
If the industry had turned full-circle then it would be full of women again. Instead it seems that the industry has done a vile 180.

Tell them to use Apple Maps instead. I've never had a map correction take more than a week from when I've submitted a problem.
Some have "Avoid Tunnels", which seems silly.

You're better off having GPS than not having it

Second that. Sometimes it's 3 or 4 hours between new stories on the front page - on a work day!

In other words they're making it as difficult as possible to avoid upgrading.
