wow so iphone users secretly recognize their peers with the use of blue bubbles, wtf is that. It's a really really huge conspiracy. Get turned down for a job, ot your date ran away after you text that you're waiting for her.. that's because you didn't have the blue buble. If you leave your iphone and get green bubbled then you will lose your rank and secretive social status. Welcome to the underclass!
The way I'd do it would be a file server with 1TB+ hard drive, that'd be better than a puny 16GB flash per tablet (assuming that tablet can access file shares on a network, which probably leaves Apple stuff out) USB power jacks built-in directly to the car with the latest "Power Delivery" specifications would be nice as well, no need for 12V outlets (round? cigar plug?).
Or you know, passengers could sleep, watch the scenery, talk to each other.
Funny, with digital TV, any kind of it including over-the-air, you have to wait a few seconds for buffering. (or waiting for the next full frame and whatever, I don't know in great detail and accuracy) It was quite noticeable when it coexisted with analog TV and channel switching was instantaneous on that one.
Also the parent (or grand-parent) forgot about UDP/IP, to niptick a bit.
I did that a couple times. Want to use speaker cables? You can cut the cable at the desired length with a pair of scissors, then if you're lazy, burn the end of the cable with a cigarette lighter to bare it. Ditto with CAT5 pairs (the tiny inner wires - I don't suggest burning what surrounds them), there the pollution is tiny is comparison.
(Don't buy thick high end speaker cables, they're useless and a rip off.. and they're harder to rip off?)
I should have been clearer in my wording - I wished for TOR to evolve, or for attention to shift to another network e.g. the network you're speaking of. I thought that maybe that new IM client should have been announced for I2P. Then again TOR has the users and I suppose speed and latency for it. Can I just run TOR without ever leaving TOR?
I didn't know that but I'm pretty sure planned or existing designs are at PCIe 2.0, ditto the M2 format. See this Asus Z87 motherboard prototype http://www.tweaktown.com/artic... SATA express was for Z97, and it was canned.. well that doesn't prevent you from including it on a piece of hardware. I have no problems imagining the spec supports PCIe 3.0, it's an easy and logical upgrade. Simply what exists now runs at 2.0, and 2.0 is what comes out of the motherboard's chipset.
It's needed in Windows because updates (most too often) need the computer to reboot. So there's a dance of install update -> initiate reboot -> update installation finalizes at either shutdown or boot up -> finish boot and log in -> reopen your apps and get back to work. You might also do a very long virus scan or spyware scan (esp. the first time you install either utility).
Thus Windows users "need" an SSD an then, not waiting for an Explorer window etc. is a bonus. Well in linux using some heavyweight stuff (gnome 3/cinnamon etc.) may make you wait for a file manager to open too so using an SSD depends on your software bloat and expectations (and other reasons like running some I/O intensive stuff)
Thanks. That feels severe, and I find it funny. It has built-in flooding, but can you even flood it furthermore with crap so it becomes damn near unusable to your unlucky "peers"?
You can cheat with bridges, that may be acceptable, or play with the PCIe - bringing the graphics card down to PCIe 8x 3.0 so you use the other 16x physical slot is a good deal. Now the trouble is the expected new connector, SATA Express (ought to get common and cheap, 2x PCIe 2.0) won't be present on yet-to-be-launched Z97 and down chipsets. Maybe because of that DMI bus limit or because they were lazy and risk adverse. It was formerly announced it'd be released with that chipset. So the arrival of SATA Express drives and expasion cards risk getting delayed. Bummer if you wanted it.
I'm looking for documentation about how to organize a conference about writing documentation, as well as docs that describe how such docs were created. Thanks.
This is what you come upon when you go filming the poor amongst the poor. Yet again a relatively small are is shown, this time around the RT monitor stands. It looks like a problem of law enforcement, lack of recycling infrastructure for terminal waste and lack of employment for these people. Don't fall for e-waste scare again. Actual numbers tell that the vast majority of it is recycled and reused. This was covered already but here's one witness example : http://www.usatoday.com/story/...
"A handful of countries in the developed world don't like the ban," Puckett said. "Some countries have ratified the Basel Convention but don't agree to the ban."
Ingenthron disagrees with the definition of electronic equipment exported for repair as hazardous. He said those exports account for about 8% of the 13 million pounds Good Point processes, and provide a livelihood for Third World entrepreneurs.
Wahab Mohammed, 36, of Accra, Ghana, relies on Good Point to provide an inventory of used computers and more for his business in Ghana.
"I buy TVs, computers, speakers, amplifiers and stereos," Wahab said last month as he roamed the maze of shrink-wrapped mountains of equipment at Good Point. "When I take them back I have people who work for me. We resell everything, 80% to 90% we're able to make it work."
Wahab tries to make the pilgrimage to Good Point every three or four months, splitting his time between Middlebury and Accra. He's planning to open a recycling plant in Ghana.
"In Africa laptops cost more than here brand new," Wahab said. "My customers appreciate me bringing in used laptops they're able to buy for $100. I still make money."
In fact what you see in TFA is not our waste, but Ghanans's waste. The news is they're dumping CRT PC monitors (looks like 17 inchers), probably because they're too expensive to run, and some of them may just have failed. Africans don't want to buy our discarded CRTs these days and no goodwill organisation will pay for the shipping either.
I would also like to know what happens to TFA's pile of five PC on the moped. "PCs and electronic devices that look in reasonable condition are sold untested in Accra". Well three are AT, so a bit crap (but may contain hard drives, etc., and may serve some limited use or as thin clients), two are ATX and so are USB, can do MP3 playback, file transfers to from USB flash drives or cell phones, word processing or accounting ; probably divx playback (the bottom one is color-coded, thus powerful) . Just don't turn it on often.
If you're looking into such high costs (dozens thousands of components, labour) and low performance, and believe people would be really interesting in buying or building that.. I find your plan sucks and you should be more megalomaniac. Recreate late 70s/early 80s fabbing tech with open source hardware, and use that to build your 6502 or 6809 clone and possibly your RISC processor?
Not a rigorous answer, but to me hardware with 32MB RAM looks OpenWRT and hardware with 128MB looks like Debian. You have examples of both on the page. You also pay dearly for the hardware, when you follow links it's motherboards (quite featured) but with a FPGA instead of the CPU or SoC and they cost several hundred dollars. It's probably very nice (i.e. at least not $1500 with only serial ports and 10x worse specs) but like 10x more expensive as "finished" commercial hardware from router or PC descent.
TOR not only attract the watchers with black helicopters and black vans, it's said to be vulnerable to timing attacks esp. by those same entities with extremely large means. So why isn't this news about anonymous IM on a garlic routing network or something?, either switch to a new network or upgrade TOR and call it TOR 2.0 or TOR 1.1 or something but please, something has to be done.
I would like to have people IM me and me IM them, like in the old days with MSN. I can use IRC, but it's only useful to talk to computer nerds and get help troubleshooting Xorg. I remember reading MSN is dead, which is sad as everyone used to be on it. You didn't get to look at each other's contact list, or look up stranger people's contact lists on the web, and you could use 3rd party clients like trillian and amsn.
Now there's Skype I guess but I don't want to run the official client. 10-12 years ago, the house rule was to run Windows but not run any other Microsoft software. More crucially I don't have a microphone. (and I don't want to deal with it and use the keyboard to push-to-talk and voice chat sitting at the desk).
And I'm glad I didn't learn of it when it was useful, that way I wasn't tempted. Facebook is so dangerous in terms of surveillance and eternal data retention, I advise to never use it, even for mere contact and "private" chat, even with a dormant, empty account you never log to.
I hope this makes the Firefox OS facebook application useless, too! I reckon it (probably) uses the same Social API as the desktop version. But I don't kid myself too much.
I don't google for it, I go to nvidia's website and quickly find it from there. The script can be invoked with --help, then you can find out how to rebuild the kernel module instead of reinstalling everything (useful for a kernel update or booting an older kernel in grub). You can enable forced anti-aliasing and/or anistropic filtering, just like under Windows. Your distro may or may not provide a version that you can install by clicking a couple things. There's actual documentation in/usr/share/doc.
That said it's not perfect, requires knowledge of ctrl-alt-f1 and sudo service gdm stop or similar, and I did fuck up the xorg.conf too, failed for a while to add a custom resolution (I have to blame randr or Xorg? such crap used to work a few years ago) and in particular switching back and forth between nouveau and nvidia driver can be hard, you wrestle with that shit, I even eventually ended with a system where the nvidia driver couldn't be made to work anymore. Else most times it's nice.
I remember wanting one badly for an outdated old PC I was given, but it's really like they don't exist anyway. It's only recently that I learnt about the actual performance, they really sucked. Afterall when run on a 32bit 25MHz or 33MHz FSB, these CPUs get only one fourth of the external bandwith to L2 cache and memory they expect. It was an abject rip off! Worse than a DX4. Similar to Pentium 4 + sdram or Pentium 133, 150 etc. sold without L2, but priced like high end stuff.
Consoles used to have expansion slots and the cartridge slot could be used as one too. The expansions, if any, sucked for market reasons mainly : if only a small subset of your users have one, few developers will make games for them, leading to low consumer adoption in a nice vicious circle. The most successful expansion was probably the Sega-CD, which is quite telling. Some like Nintendo 64 memory upgrade only had a handful of games, or were hilarious failures (Jaguar CD, DD64). The Saturn had a small niche of 2D fighting games using a RAM increase.
Similar failure happened to improved hardware like NEC Turbografx and Atari STE, CPC plus (home computers) where no games used the additional abilities.
I agree though that phones should be thought of as PC instead of consoles, and stuff replacing or changing the Wifi, 4G, camera, additional storage should work. Missing though from the phones and ARM hardware in general is the standard BIOS or UEFI and way of booting, which ultimately makes the PC so great and entirely modular.

Is there a reason it can't be hallal? Arab groceries sell stomachs over here.
Symlinks were only introduced in Vista, so I think you're quite wrong.
The crappy NTFS feature that predates it is called a junction point.
I forgot the adequate warning that this is Not Nice.
