I barely comment here now and I've been here with one username or another since almost the beginning.
I only occasionally bother reading the comments because most threads are so heavily loaded with right wing (hopefully) trolls that I feel like I'm reading Fox News.
The stories are still pretty good, but the conversation is shit.
Combine that with the lack of voting ability and there's really nothing left here to draw you into the comments section.
Maybe instead of pushing the boundaries of battery size, they should make a phone that can fit a good sized battery safely with current battery technology.
While they are at it, they could make the screens and case thick enough to resist day to day use.
QT is really a cross platform development library that also includes GUI. For example, it handles threading in a cross platform way so that you don't need ifdefs or roll your own replacements all over the map.
There are a lot of pieces outside the core that while not necessities, are sometimes very useful and for the most part it's modular enough to trim down to just what you need.
I can see occasionally wanting cross platform archiving, so that seems perfect for an optional plugin.
My fear is that QT will become almost dependent on KDE.
I like KDE well enough, but if I wanted KDE, I'd develop with it directly.
Having features overlap isn't good, but neither is using KDE plugins as an excuse for development that should really be in QT itself. Not that the current examples should be core QT, but in the future that may not be the case.
That's just stupidly hot, especially for something you're handing out a window and into a car after approximately 700 previous burn complaints.
Telling McDonalds to bring the coffee down to reasonable temperatures is more like telling steak houses to stop throwing steak knives to customers from the kitchen.
From the linked article: "Moreover, the Shriner’s Burn Institute in Cincinnati had published warnings to the franchise food industry that its members were unnecessarily causing serious scald burns by serving beverages above 130 degrees Fahrenheit."
I understand what you're saying, I'm simply tired of this case being used as an example of frivolous lawsuits when it's a perfect example of why these type of lawsuits exist.
We've had very good results from Walgreens, but I'm sure it varies by location.
So what if they are no better than a $200 printer, you'll spend another $200 on ink in no time printing photos.
We only have a b/w laser printer at home and do all color photos at Walgreens. It's saving us so much money that I doubt we'll ever buy a color printer again.
The broadcasters are probably terrified because their marketing data is mostly speculation. They also have to attempt to control the end location of content they have licensed or else other broadcasters will sue them for stepping on their market area.
Aereo can tell what channels are being streamed at what times and could easily ask for demographics for targeted marketing. They can also send to mobile devices and offices where broadcast TV has very little uptake. Who carries a mobile receiver?
Streaming is potentially a huge improvement for the television market but rather than change or add to their current business model, broadcasters as a group attempt to litigate themselves into relevance.
Mine was a reply to "Because it was a review the actual GPU encoders themselves not various frontends to those GPU encoders." which you and I both seem to disagree with.
That said, I do believe that there are better GPU assisted applications than those tested, such as DVDFab mentioned above.
I'd be very interested to see how it compares using this methodology, but testing every available application could become a full time job.
I have no affiliation with DVDFab, but it comes to mind as a decent encoder well before any of the ones tested.
2.) Not exactly, where is 0x01? 3.) Taken together, there are 16 lines of "binary", 8 at the top, 8 at the bottom.
4.) Some hex digits are repeated, with 0x01 omitted. 5.) There are stray 3 symbols, one of which "S", does not appear in the lines above. 6.) I've seen several people say that the lines all start with a 1, but that doesn't seem to be correct. The columns are all aligned, so it would seem that some lines start with a blank (assumed to be 0) and some end with a 0.
I had never made the association before reading this thread, but I can probably trace a lot of my failures to the gifted and talented program as well. I had always attributed my complete change of heart with regard to school to other influences, but this makes perfect sense.
When my children were eligible for gifted and talented, I was against it though. The busy work, missed fun exercises in "normal" class and the general feeling of punishment for being intelligent were something I did not want to push my children into.
My oldest son did decide to give it a try, but soon realized that it was not what he expected. Of course, I was fine with removing him from the program. Even that took a bit of time to recover from, but he is now back to being a good student again.
Why can't they realize that what the kids want to do is to learn faster and more advanced material, not just do higher quantities of the same material for no benefit?

Isn't that the real issue?
If I mount a filesystem, I don't expect it to start executing random files on it at all.

I'm not just complaining about Apple here either.
I haven't commented in years because of various issues, mostly related to feeling that I don't get to contribute.
When I did get moderation, there was little I could do.
Most good comments were already +5, most bad were whatever the negative equivalent was.
If I did mod, then I couldn't comment.
I do not think it means what you think it means.

Did you see where 190 degrees is on that graph?

McDonalds was clearly guilty of serving dangerously hot coffee but the media spun it as frivolous.
McDonalds specified coffee to be 180 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. That's hot enough to cause third degree burns and require skin grafts.
Read some of the details or watch the documentary. The burns were horrifying and yet the poor lady gets crucified in the media.

Of course rich women who want to keep their figure will want to go this route.
If they want to have children without stretchmarks and weight gain, this is perfect, cost be damned.
It will be the new status symbol.

Lasik is a luxury, they have to compete on price.
Cancer treatments aren't, you'll pay anything to fix the problem.
That's where the free market falls short.

The review and summary are giving mixed signals then, as I had the same reaction to the article.
If this is a review of the encoders and not the front ends, then why is Handbrake specifically pointed out for ease of use?
Handbrake is only a front end to an encoder that can easily give similar or vastly worse results if you don't know how to use it.
It's an RFID tag, the size of the thing it is attached to should make no difference.
A tag in the bin should have made it to being lost by the handlers just like any real luggage.
What are you streaming Netflix on, a Wii?
On the Xbox 360 or Windows Media Center, Netflix HD looks better than my digital cable ever did.
I assume the PS3 is similarly good quality.
If you have anything to play a 7" promo on, you're probably already a customer.
I haven't seen a record player in decades.
You can't get a native 64 bit version of firefox/IE at the moment, so there's no need for 64bit flash....
Modded Insightful? Really?
So why is there this "Internet Explorer (64-bit)" icon on every 64bit version of Windows?
There is also this link with 64bit builds of Mozilla products: http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/Download
What if the site has a custom player that:
1) Downloads the song
2) plays it locally
3) begins downloading the next song
4) repeat
Music downloads at streaming bitrates should be much shorter than the average song. If you absolutely needed DRM, that's still not a problem.
Since there is no streaming going on, just multiple downloads, can indie music be sent without the unfair Sound Exchange tax?

You have to be kidding me.
Are you looking at the right side of the screen?
"I have never heard of anything this evil before. An OS that updates it Update Notification system if it is turned on."
Read it again (the first time?), it wasn't on.
That's the problem, it updated even when disabled.
