I see what you did there. You invented your own definition of "stealing". I guess you are free to do that, at the risk of clouding your communication, but the rest of us are likely to see it as a trifle eccentric.
There are two kinds of authoritarians. Stupid ones who get the priorities comprehensively fucked up and build a choking mountain of red tape (U.S.), and those who have actual working critical faculties and rational priorities (China).
Sure, the details of China's priorities are arguable, and adjustments are made over time. But one thing they are not is stupid and irrational. In the U.S. the priorities are blatantly stupid, utterly irrational, and no one is allowed to argue them.
This is a completely separate discussion from human rights.
I think the message is not to get roped into imported industrial infrastructure with or without tie-ins to sack of shit operating systems like Windows. Iran has plenty of home grown technical expertise. We are not talking about some backwater here. The next nuclear players - and believe me, they WILL be coming - will get the message, but I can't think of any likely ones with anything like the native talent that Iran has.
Good and fast hashes are all you need for any purpose. You can't make a slow hash fast, but it's trivially easy to make a fast hash slow. You just use sequential rounds, enough of them to make it slow.
SHA-512 is fine for passwords. It's the best there is. You're nuts to use anything else, the US military agrees with me, and it is the default in RHEL6 and other recent security conscious distros. The thing is, nobody with any sense uses a single round for this purpose. They use 5000, or 50,000, or 719,246. When you configure your password security on linux to SHA-512, glibc defaults to 5000 rounds.
Of course it doesn't have the stomach for it. The US Congress collectively does not have the stomach to hold its own dick while it relieves itself. If there were no dick holders provided in the Congressional restrooms, they would all burst open from not having the balls to relieve themselves, nor the common sense to realize that they HAVE to relieve themselves. These assholes don't even have the guts to address the nation's real problems. All they do is bring up useless frill after self serving pandering bill. That is, when they can move themselves to stir from their beauty sleep at all.
Punks, that's all they are. Corrupt remains of a system which is the biggest enemy of their own population.
As it is, the rot that is inside them is enough to wipe out the population if the pustulence ever escapes into the general population. I am goddam sure what the folks in 1776 would have done with this loathsome group of bought and paid for poseurs.
No, actually it is garbage collection which is obviously the band-aid, in support of poor quality programmers who shouldn't even be working on code.
Smart pointers are far more efficient and deterministic than garbage collection, and similar C++ methodology allows managing things other than memory, which garbage collection does help you with at all.
Clearly you don't have a single clue how RAII works.
Contrary to the other respondents, AC is spot on. At the risk of excluding some very minor cases where they may be called for, "naked" pointers should, and need, NEVER be used in a C++ program. If you find them there, it means a poor quality C++ programmer (who may be a good C programmer) has used them ignorantly, or the code is very archaic.
Garbage collection is a nod to terrible programmers who are not up to the task of managing their own resources in code. Smart pointers are a far superior, better controlled way to manage resources. And there are other resources besides memory, which garbage collection offers no support whatsoever in managing, but C++ idioms manage very well, and in very deterministic and optimized fashion.
Nope. He's right. I just fired up my Windows XP PC to check. Mine happens to be set up for single click activation, but I doubt if that makes any difference. You move the mouse to the lower, partially obscured window. Now you push down the left button onto a file - not the background. Nothing much happens; the focus does not change. If you let up on the left button it will "run" the file, so don't do that. Instead, drag the file to the top window. It will be copied or moved in the usual way, but at no point does the focus change.
If you do push down the left button in the BACKGROUND of the lower window, yes, the lower window will get the focus and be raised to the top.
Pretty sophisticated behavior if you ask me. Vastly more friendly to use than Nautilus in Gnome2. In Nautilus, the minute you button goes down ANYWHERE in the lower window, the window gets the focus and is raised. This is the way mine works; basically the settings are default except I have single click activation turned on. Maybe the behavior can be changed; I don't see how right off.
And finally, the answer is that pcmanfm in enlightenment DOES do it "right", like Windows. Actually you can see the lower window get the focus as soon as the mouse goes over it, but it is not raised. I don't have a Mac to check that (no reason to doubt that it works), and haven't checked KDE yet.
That's funny. Xfce does everything I can possibly imagine needing from a DE. Of course I can't in my wildest imagination see any point in eye candy. YMMV.
I believe you misunderstand the discussion. The fact that the only reason for the existence of a business[*] is making money for the owners/shareholders, while it fundamentally serves as a higher priority than observing morals and ethics, does not preclude any concern at all for morals and ethics. And it most definitely does not exempt anyone from complying with laws (your car analogy).
You got it. I am against patents COMPLETELY. I think those who impose the patent system or support its imposition are evil bastards, and those who fail to decry it are tools.
Agreed. *I* use linux and I couldn't care less if linux desktop market share ever rises above 1%, and as you say it would just turn into mass market shit if it rose to 90% anyway. We already have a shitty version of linux. It's called OS X.
How big is Ferrari's share of the share of the automobile market?
Of course simply "deleting" a file from disk does not remove the data from the sectors on the disk, and recreating a file of the same size as the deleted one does not necessarily overwrite those same sectors.
The 85kWh Model S can already do a range of 300 miles [teslamotors.com]. And some have taken it to over 400 [nytimes.com]
Battery performance over time is reportedly 70% of full capacity after 7 years [teslamotors.com]. That's not 100%, but it's certainly not bad either, and ignoring the advances in Lithium Ion, Lithium Air tech is fast approaching too.
So in other words, the range is 300 miles on day one but is only 210 miles after seven years. Doesn't sound quite so good when you put it that way, does it?
Also, the Tesla is nothing at all like a minivan. There is a reason they are not trying to build electric minivans.
ARAB spring in a PERSIAN nation? I'll assume you're kidding because the alternative is you're ignorant.
Also I think that as TERRORISM nuisance hacks against computers is seriously devaluing the term. I seriously doubt anybody in Iran is TERRIFIED of this nuisance.
So, to convert [48fps] to 24fps, either the original footage will have to be filmed at 24fps, or else some sort of digital interpolation will have to be done.
Huh? It's the OPPOSITE of interpolation. All you have to do is sample every other frame, at the rate of 24fps. It's a perfect subsample. How is that much lower quality than normal? It's exactly the same.
No Windows or Macs in my house, and wireless is on its own separate net. The internet goes through a Sonicwall. They're full of crap if they think they're going to get anything out of my TV without physically breaking into the house.

Are you sure you don't mean "you need around 2^511 PDF files"?
2^256 is not anywhere near half of 2^512.

Morally and ethically and by natural law, patents are EVIL. Just say it. They are nothing more than a corporatocracy/corruptocracy TOOL.
Or just wait while the error messages fly by until it gets to your home directory. Hint: it does a LOT more than only produce a stream of errors.

All true and insightful, but it would still be nice to know the actual per-watt figures operating all out, and compare them with desktop figures.
Bingo. People think digital is magic or something.
Huh? It's the OPPOSITE of interpolation. All you have to do is sample every other frame, at the rate of 24fps. It's a perfect subsample. How is that much lower quality than normal? It's exactly the same.
Why?
All right, let's hear it. Put up or shut up. give specifics of how you would penetrate the setup.
I doubt very much if Samsungs can download patches for the OS itself. They do routinely download new app versions.
