Right. I also gave my wireless up and go back to wired. I live in Hong Kong where ~500sq ft apartment, 30+ floors residential building is the norm, I got 20+ visible AP in the list when I turn on the network search. The number does not include AP with SSID hide.
So as you can imagine, there is simply too much thing squeezed in the frequency and making stable wifi connection almost impossible. I then shut my FON, went back to the 1Gbps wire I had.
So Microsoft did make a 'N' series of Vista (Ultimate N, Business N, Home Premium N, Home Basic N etc.) for EU, basically that's have the Windows Media Player and all the WMV/WMA functionalities removed. (i.e. Sound Recorder can't save in WMA)
But I doubt if it's cheaper than non-N version. (Could some people in EU tell me?)
If EU is going to be decided as antitrust, Microsoft will just make the N not to include the browser. Who is going to lose?
How about OS X and Linux? Can they ship browser binary bits on the disc?
Do you think there is code? I read the TFA, even the elevator and spin table were interlocked mechanically (i mean hardware switch), and the drivetrain is taken from 2nd hand wheelchair. The whole thing is controlled by RC.
Which means...all were done with old good hardware.
Sure...it would need the bandwidth of receiving fullscreen video/audio.
Latency wise, some game may be more suitable than the others. For example, RTS game like Warcraft III - where the action are carried out ONLY after the command is synced to each other players, and is lagged anyway.
Though I think it's has much more value in doing pre-rendering, animation rendering, etc. AMD just rents the CPU hour for you to get your job done.
...through wake-on-LAN + rsync + shutdown to the box next to the room. I can't imagine something with that famous aren't taking at least the same measure to prevent such thing from happening.
I had seen and experienced too many accidents, which taught me one thing - if you are tight on budget, make a offline backup solution, or at least point-it-time, incremental, non-realtime first, only after that, go for RAID/Mirror, but not in the opposite way.
Most of the "Ouch" moment are due to user faults, mirroring doesn't protect anything silly user action.
Even if you can't invest time to figure out the FS snapshot, flushing database before starting backup, rotating whatever database update log, still much better than mirroring.
BTW, for mirroring, two hard drive of the same lot has a much higher rate to die at or around the same time.
Last but not least, buy a new harddrive every year or two, so your harddrive is always new and healthy. Bundle the old one to the backup array in JBOD so it's once again big enough to backup the new disk.
Agree! I owned a Windows Mobile Phone but I hate the part that I cannot dial without looking at the screen. (and I'm not happy to announce to everyone that who I am calling through the voice control)
iPhone sucks even further...It force me to use the belly of finger to touch, thumbnail does not work. Which means the uncertainty of the hotspot is increased ten folded.
I owned a TouchStream keyboard before, which I think that's where Apple accuqired the multitouch technology. TS keyboard is a flat, oversized keypad except it's multitouch and to the point that it can determine if the pressing finger is the Index, or Ring, or Pinky. With a handy set of Gesture which makes the keyboard very cool to play with. Though, again, the lack of tactile feedback make it quite hard to use.
I hope someone, someday, could invent an membrane for generating texture. Perhaps we could use ink-bubbling technology in Print head to trap some air bubble below the membrane?
Text/Publication is fine. We have Plain Text, HTML, PostScript that we used for decade, and it's reason to assume that it could last for at least 10 more years. Or we can rasterize it. Or read it with my eyes, unless you are saying Unicode will die faster than them.
Graphics is also ok. JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, also lasted for decade, it's believable they will make it to the next decade too! (After all, a JPEG reader shouldn't be that hard to code)
If they could live for 10-15 years...I have no objection to reconvert every 15 years.
Audio. MP3s and OGG should be fine for a while. I would say it can be assumed that player is still available in next 5-10 years. RAW WAV isn't taking many spaces.
Last thing is Video. This is holy shoot! I am even having problem to deal with tons of CODECs in a modern system. And there are WMVs, MP4s, MOVs, Flashes, RealMedias, last but not least the Ogg Theora. I am not even confident that these are readable in next year! And in fact, this is preventing me from taking more video clips from my camcoder as I am so frustrated everytime to think how I am going to store it. RAW is bad, I don't have a big harddisk. Especially for High Def, size is an issue even when compressed!
I just hope Ogg Theora can get more mature, or someone would open source some CODEC so that it will be more popular and a workable instance can keep spining around the world.
You will lose some on the conversion of the sound energy, which when the noise are converted to the heat (through vibration presumably), it happens at high heat loss area like wall, windows, etc.
My team has some 1U servers in the lab which is assigned to the Devs and Tests. And there are several "turn off" points that keep us from turning them off:
1. The servers sit in another LAN segment, WOL does not work without some work 2. That's just too expensive to buy out-of-band management card...We don't really need those. 3. Most importantly, the server takes 20 seconds to go from blank screen to signal, then 1+ minutes to finish the BIOS POST, RAID discovery! Hell...when desktop only takes 3 seconds (50+ times faster), couldn't they optimize that for the server though?!
Not to mention the FAN speed cannot be tuned, while on Desktop FAN speed auto-throttle is a popular features included in major mainboard.
It's those manufacturers to make us go green harder.
For people with zero experience. Degree, Certs are the tickets to pass the screening and interviews. Say two people, one with degree and one without. Both have zero experience, and I only have time to interview one...you do the math.
But if you get some experiences, like self employ, or volunteer, or some recommendations and connections that can bring you to the Interview room, degree is not a must. As long as you get the ticket...
The interview would play an important role. Make sure you are prepared. Don't try to play smart and think the interviewer is stupid, that just says that you can't work in teamwork and can't communicate. Try your best to demostrate that your are passionate in the field, and is a quick learner. Knowledge does play a role but not a top factor. People are most likely looking for those who can communicate well, and quick learners that can upgrade oneself from time to time, especially in IT field where speed of technology changes are blazing fast.
After you get the job. The degree and cert is a past. No one cares about your past history.
Some people learn a lot in the degree (say they might have participated in extra-curriculum activates, or simply means they learned how to interact with people and do teamwork), some people learn nothing and wasted 4-years just on WoW. The HR and interviewers all know this fact, but if it's still better than nothing.
1080i is blowing my head out, absolutely, totally. I live in Hong Kong which use PAL standard which has a slightly higher spatial resolution than NTSC...but the difference is still immediately noticeable.
So does digital film. I watch my 007 in Cinema and for what I didn't expect, they are playing in digital. All the vertical sync issue is gone, all the dirt marks on the film is gone.
I thought I don't have to explain this at the time of posting. Prehaps I should also mention the cooling effect is about direct proportional to the airflow which is about direct proportional to the fan area for the completeness.
Slashdot Mirror
I look forward to the photo of the prototype.
Now I see.
Will it eventually requires the split of explorer.exe (the shell/windows manager) and Windows kernel just like X and Gnome/KDE?...
How about car manufacturers can't ship with transmission gear?...
It's about time to tune my GNURadio!
It seems it's possible to have anyone's account killed by sending three letters.
I bet some botnet author will start automating this process anytime soon.

Cracking the site was easy, because Twitter allowed an unlimited number of rapid-fire log-in attempts.
...Even Unix (way before Linux) knew to kick you out after 3 failed attempts...
Let me fix that for you...Even Windows does!
Sorry, it comes to my attention that you are missing a 'p' in the word 'complete', without a 'p', the world is never completed.
P, as in...I think you will figure that out by checking the spam.
Yes as mentioned by the summary, this is a driver - a driver! Don't expect standard C library is there.
Further more, the functions seems to be converting treating 1980 as epoch...

Wow. Must be a very "big" dust if you mean it costs data corruption. Normally the forward error correction should make the playback just fine.
You will lose some on the conversion of the sound energy, which when the noise are converted to the heat (through vibration presumably), it happens at high heat loss area like wall, windows, etc.

The problem is...who is storing the data?
Is that a WebArchive with 20 seconds resolution? How much data would that yield?
Or do I have to tag some website for a day before I can see that?
Or is there a P2P solution (like with content addressing DHT?) for that?
For people with zero experience. Degree, Certs are the tickets to pass the screening and interviews.

How long could a drive of 128GB gives you?...
2048*1024@32bbp @ 25fps...it's like 10 minutes?
...with a big metallic joystick. Most of the time I guess I was sitting next to my elder brother watching he playing anyway.
The single-digit addition game was fun though, so did watching the altimeter shooting 10k feet in the Flight Sim.
Apple IIe was big and was very easy to handle for children. Big joystick, big 5.25" Floppy and big power switch.
And UMPC, would it be a little bit too tiny for the children?
2 is definitely too early...I don't even recall if I know A-Z by then...
maybe because you don't get an ipod free for buying a Mac?
Good math!
I thought I don't have to explain this at the time of posting. Prehaps I should also mention the cooling effect is about direct proportional to the airflow which is about direct proportional to the fan area for the completeness.
just want to point out that Wii cooling fan, slightly larger than 1" dia, is also a magnitude smaller than 360 and PS3.
