You've hit on the biggest downside of the film. That kind of camera work was distracting, but I was able to not let it annoy me. As far as downsides go, though, it could be worse, and the whole experience was _unbelievable_.
Oh he can do the bad accent. Don't you worry. Right in the beginning, he's trying to enter an authorization code, and the computer doesn't understand "wictor, wictor". Brilliant!
Except, of course, that Windows OEM licenses are not transferrable between machines, so you can't legally run the copy of Windows that came with your netbook on anything other than the netbook it came with.
Has this been proven? We can conclude that Microsoft doesn't want us to do this, but I'm not sure that it's really "illegal".
In the cloud, you can't tell who's a dog. I was stunned at every one of these events, which was totally preventable. But I read everything I could about each one, in order to be sure to avoid their mistakes.
You've got to ask the hard questions about how your data is being handled when you entrust it to somebody in the cloud.
You can't ever rely on the HTTP-Referer header to be there. Much of the time, it isn't; either the user has disabled it in his browser, or some Internet security suite strips it, or something. I'm amazed at the number of sites that use it for _authentication_!
I should have replied to your post rather than post next to it. Now I'm in the Slashdot loophole where some people think it's funny and some think it's redundant, so I can lose unlimited karma!
It's not violating any license to install software on a machine that doesn't meet the hardware requirements. It's just that the result will be unsupported and possibly unsatisfactory.
Ingo Molinar says: "I cannot over-emphasize how much of a deal it is in practice. Atime updates are by far the biggest IO performance deficiency that Linux has today. Getting rid of atime updates would give us more everyday Linux performance than all the pagecache speedups of the past 10 years, _combined_."
Slashdot's seemingly-ridiculous problems with non-ASCII characters are simply a safeguard against displaying the nullity character, which would cause the universe to implode.
Interesting. The ATA TRIM command, which hopefully drive firmware will start supporting, could work for that. But you'd also need some way to turn off the fancy wear-leveling and other algorithms on the drive itself, and also you'd want some way to unlock the extra storage which the drives physically have but don't present over SATA.
Reformatting isn't sufficient to get back to new performance, you have to issue an ATA SECURE ERASE command.
And you can't run a filesystem built specifically for flash on these drives, with Linux or otherwise, because they don't present a flash interface. They present an SATA interface.
In any case, the take-home message is probably to consider the drive's "used" performance as its real performance. If the drive is not a crummy one (watch out for those), it's still _much_ faster than an HDD, and very worthwhile depending on your application.

backports.org is endorsed by Debian, at least semi-officially. It's in their package search database.

He's featured prominently in the animated series I believe. But he's not in this movie.

The Web Developer Toolbar allows you to easily enable and disable things like CSS and images, along with many other handy tools.
I had never thought of it like that before. It doesn't make any sense, does it?
What about people on non-QWERTY keyboards? Can you create a user option for what key does what?
I'm pretty sure you could carve encrypted data into a rock, just like you can on a Blu-ray.
And yes, it's just as silly.
You mean like "all the nodes" that stored WebHostingTalk's data? "All the nodes" that were hosting Ma.gnolia bookmarks? "All the nodes" running Journalspace?

Etch barcodes into rocks.
We Lenny them into rocks.

I'm often bitten by this mythtv problem too! Can you submit a patch upstream?

Replace it all with OSS.
Configure the device for IPv6, over a tunnel or whatever. The worm blocks your control ports using iptables, but not apparently ip6tables.
From an application standpoint, how is hyperthreading any different from multi-core?
I think it was when he was squirting us pictures of his kids.

Wow, does it ever.
And did they buy into it this quarter?
