I didn't RTFA. If I read the summary right, ya may be he can be charged with DMCA, Copyright violation or those stuff.But "conspiracy, aiding and abetting computer intrusion, and wire fraud"? WTF is that!
Even if people skip the commercial, the content maker should be able to find another way to make it back...Say promote the use of a product right in the show, sponsorship, etc. just like how it's done in the Movie.
Even a Thinkpad T40 I bought in 2003 has TPM. Although I am not sure if it's the version required by BitLocker (BitLocker requires v1.2 IIRC)
I believe most Centrino laptop have that included. Or is that only Thinkpad?
At any case, if you are that paranoid because you are hiding child porn photo, or the company values the data so much, either you or the company should have study this matter in depth, understand what the hell the TPM is, and pick a suitable solution.
Thinking of this, Windows does provide a pretty easy out of box, usable and technical sounding full-disk (or full-partition) encryption. Kudos to Microsoft.
I didn't read the RTFA, but aren't MSFT's BitLocker supposes to validate the boot path (from BIOS code to bootloader up to the BitLocker decrypter) with the help of the TPM chip?
I bet 50% of the machine (or resources) will end up in official's hands, instead of farmers. And then their kids and relatives definitely needs Windows to run whatsoever software.
The most popular IM in China, QQ, only has client for windows. Well, Pidgin also support the basic of the protocol, but lacking a whole lot of features, and I doubt how many people know Pidgin.
The online banking requires the use of Windows software (although it's an IE wrapper) to do transaction/wire-transfer. The web accessible version is a strip-down which allows query only.
The debit/credit card here usually support a local network called YinLian, optionally along with Visa/Master, and local e-commence usually go through the local payment network. Each bank requires to built a Internet payment gateway for that, and the interface of the payment gateway of most banks require the use of Active-X.
So for a computer to be useful in China, you really need Windows and Internet Explorer.
SP3? may be. But a big SP! BTW, I think MS always want the Vista to be as good as Win 7 but wasn't be able to achieve that.
It's much easier to connect to a new wireless with the new network manager pane. Ubuntu (Gnome?) might have a similar pane, but 7 doesn't need to ask me if it's a WEP/WPA/WPA2/Whatever... Creating Ad-hoc network aren't difficult. Much easier than XP.
Driver installation is superb. I am using a Thinkpad T61p laptop, all drivers are ready after turning on Windows update. Plugging a new device, say Logitech Webcam which traditionally causes a lot of trouble for me, also works seamlessly today on 7. The driver installed also comes with no crap, unlike the CD that comes with the cam.
did I mention I am using a Win 7 x64? Finally I got the last 0.9GB RAM claimed (in 32 bit only 3.1G were usable), and I have encountered no issue so far, no driver nor app issue, or whatever, although YMMV.
The concept of Library please me. Now I can have one more set of "My Documents", and selectively sync only one set with my office desktop (sync is done through other mechanism though)
Start menu and Task bar now has "the most recent accessed document" integrated. Say if you use Notepad frequent enough to get onto the start menu list, it offers you a list to access the most recently opened document. For Firefox/IE, it offers most recently/frequently used website. It goes for windows media player, Office Apps and even GVIM!
A nice way to organize and hide a large number of task icon, an important feature as there are more and more programs tends to abuse that space.
The action center / troubleshooting actually does solve problem, nice and easy way. I once had a problem with my LAN connection, may be a DHCP refresh or NIC reset will do, but I gave a try to the Action center, it just does all that with one click and verify the result. It also has some more commonly used troubleshooting template (like troubleshoot Sound Recording) which does similar thing, a big plus for WAF IMHO.
The power management now includes a timer for dimming the display, before turning it to a black screen. Very useful for laptop user.
I didn't even start mention the area that Vista does way better than XP in many many areas (Network, Printers, Start Menu,...).
Once again MS raise the bar of Desktop computing somewhat. OTOH, I am running a Linux server at home for LAMP/Asterisk/ipfilter/MythTV, it's great for because I could customization it in the way I want, but would I use it as a desktop? Sorry no.
Currently that CNC software runs with the RTAI patch.
The part that requires realtime are bitbanging the motor controller through parallel port, or act as a DIP Controller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller) to calculate the output of a more advance motor. All these need to be coordinated precisely at deterministic time, considering that it's controlling 3+ axis motor and a spindle.
if it miss a 100us schedule, it would definitely affect the final product output.
Of course, one could off-load all these realtime work to yet another embedded system, written with Realtime OS (or even without OS), then the Linux box can communicate with the box with whatsoever protocol, say USB. But this requires one more hardware, yet the capability of the hardware will be limited.
If mainstream kernel does support realtime like RTAI extension, the project can use the mainstream distro and hopefully could make life easier.
But my 15.1" laptop has a 1920*1200....somehow the Desktop LCD monitor does not catch up, clearly the technology is not the issue...may be the demand is far too low?
Now I think it's about time for Google to include that. I am expecting it gives me an direction from Earth to a random star on M12 , with several mode of transport (Walk, Spaceship, Wormhole)
Not exactly. The grand grand grand parent means he want to run everything over a single (or limited number) of CAT5 cable by multiplexing multiple devices signals, as long as bandwidth permit.
So that if I want to add a several of low bandwidth device later, say 10 speaker system, even if I don't have 10 pairs of copper cable, I can multiplex them in one CAT6. Given that their bandwidth consumption are way lower than 1Gbps.
I guess HomePlug (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePlug_Powerline_Alliance) or related technology is the closet to that...Multiplex everything (including your power supply haha) to the main power socket.
Even at ~500k, the Youtube version is clearly more blur on details. And I thought I would need to download yet another codec to play the Theora video, but surprise to learn that my Firefox 3.5 does support it natively!
MMS itself is actually very complicated. More than SMS with pictures attached. A few weeks ago the bank sent me an MMS promotion, which is a timed pictures slide show of ADs.
Perhaps that makes the software vendor (Phone makers) more reluctant in adopting the protocol...and the price was so expensive that stops people really from using it. Hence...a chicken and egg problem.
On the other hand, MMS are just data (GPRS/EDGE/3G...), instead of SMS using system spared timeslot. So I don't understand why MMS will hog down the network much faster than today, when AT&T are providing unlimited dataplan to iPhone user already.
I recalled that there was a case in Hong Kong a few years ago that convicted a man because he linked some illegal content. I forgot if the content was warez or underage p0rn. But at any case, the point was he was distributing the links (direct download links or massive file downloading service I presumes) on discussion forums, and the judge concluded that it contributes the action of "distribution" and hence violates the law.
Both Hong Kong and Canada are under the Common Law system, courts still refer to each others' cases frequently if I am not wrong, I wonder how this would work out.
I havn't walked into an Apple store for a while. They didn't use Kensington lock to secure the computers? (Or at least they should do it during off-hour)
Or did the thieves just pull them out with force and break the chassis? If that's the case, how much can they sell... Plus, they are all serial number recorded...I wonder if Apple can activate the iPhone GPS to lock them down too!
Now we only need to know how many Library of Congress can be transfer each day? or should we switch our Library of Congress unit to Data transmitted per day from the Moon?

Is this thing going to replace https://www.rtai.org/ completely?
More importantly, can http://linuxcnc.org/ a CNC software, benefit from this extension?

When will I be able to play games with Browser? Will Starcraft 2 / Diablo 3 ships release in this "Web format"?
And when will 3D LCD screen becomes affordable and hence animated 3D porn? Oh. I think I can skip the animated part...real actor are good enough!

NO! Page Rank is not named after webPage. It's named after Larry Page who created it. Arrrgh.

I thought Larry Page was named after WebPage? No?
Sounds like Microsoft and Google...ok nevermind.
It's hard to do a back hand five finger grips too! Although I think the 10x frequency will compensate that and brings a similar climax.
