OS\X? I'm sorry, but I have a hard time taking seriously most posts that misspell or miscapitalize the common topic of their point. And to people who spent a lot of time working with the stuff it's like reading a post that confuses 'loose' and 'lose' or 'whose' and 'who's'
It's been out for 6 years now at no point have I ever seen it referred to as OS\X. In the same manner It's not Windows\XP or X\P or ViSTA. They're not MACS or MACs or MaCs. It's not an IPOD or an Ipod or an iPOD. FreeBSD is just that, not FREEBsd or FREEBSD or FreEBsD.
Just like a monoculture of GSM has hurt the innovation of mobile phones in Europe.
God bless the USA where competition between GSM, CDMA, & what ever sprint uses has increased innovation such that the USA always has the best cellphones out of any civilized country.
"x86 virtualization is about basically placing another nearly full kernel, full of new bugs, on top of a nasty x86 architecture which barely has correct page protection. Then running your operating system on the other side of this brand new pile of shit. You are absolutely deluded, if not stupid, if you think that a worldwide collection of software engineers who can't write operating systems or applications without security holes, can then turn around and suddenly write virtualization layers without security holes."
So do it passively. Cover all domes in copper mesh.
Copper's cheap these days. I mean I have a ton laying around my house in little round circles. Just cover the entire dome in those.
And when it costs $XX Million per arena, somehow blame revenue going down on the bloggers. Find some way that you can use the patriot Act or DMCA against said bloggers.
Sure, send me your Debit card and lets see how liable you are.
The "Best" part about a Debit card is you can only spend what you have. Keep $100 in the account and refresh it daily. But if that $100 gets out, it's gone.
I still hold that it is perfectly reasonable. As you pointed out, no one is going to care about that low level government employee. No one is really going to care about this grad student. But where do you draw the line between 'no power' and 'i should be able to watch them.' I'm not saying I should be able to or that I'm even going to, but if I am paying part of that research I should have some sort of accountability.
Now as you point out, watching a grad student is going to bore me to sleep and be useless. But paired with the PDF of their findings, I can give an intelligent response to if my money was spent well.
However say you carry the same logic over to the police. No webcam, but just 'results'. Well I may see that they caught the murderer or that someone confessed, but without seeing all of it (in a completely open environment) I can't intelligently form an opinion if it was done justly.
And I don't have a problem with Slashdot or some mental breaks (such as this slow as heck week when 1/2 the office is gone). If I'm watching a government employee I'm not going to be calling their boss every time I don't see them typing.
I keep seeing a common theme of "well they're going to catch me slacking." The summary has nothing to do with catching people slacking off. It has everything to do with catching people abusing power.
I may raise alarm if I see two teachers getting it on in my kid's class room between periods (I may disapprove, but as long as it's two consenting adults..) I'll definitely raise alarm if I see my Mayor, between the hours of 8 and 4 (or something reasonable) doing blow off of a strippers ass 5 days a week. I'll definitely raise alarm if I see a cop walk up to someone. Look around to see if anyone is watching and then lay into them with a club.
I don't care if you slack off. The entire point of my post was, if I'm paying for it (or even just part of it) I should have access to it. I know that people don't work at 100% efficiency all the time. But imagine how "American Gangster" would have gone if citizens had access to all of what the dirty cops were doing?
So it may be unreasonable to go stand over the shoulder of the grad student. But if I paid for his research and as long as it's not a matter of national security. I should be able to get a PDF of what ever he worked on. I should be able to look at all the data and go "cool, I paid for this".
If I don't think it's worthy research, then I can complain to the senator that allocated that money to him. If the senator doesn't 'listen' to me. I vote him out next time around. That's how the government should work (IMHO).
Why not? From what I gathered from the summary, all they want to do is not let the government prohibit from letting us do this. I don't think that the government should fund every single webcam everywhere. But if there's a Cop that has repeatedly pushed the boundaries of physicalness with suspects, it shouldn't be illegal, imho, to follow the cop around with a camera. He's serving me (and not vice versa).
If I want to setup a webcam on my local road and a webcam in my (future) childrens' classrooms and I pay for it, there shouldn't be a law against it. Unless it can be shown that it is directly disruptive.
If it comes to a situation (which happened in my life) where it's my kids' word against a teacher's it would be extremely 'disruptive' for me to request to be able to sit in on the class to see who is telling the truth. Now if there was a webcam and I could check in on my kid or the teacher both would probably act in their element and quickly forget the camera.
"If you have nothing to hide then you shouldn't fear anything," true, but I think that only applies when you're not on my dime.
I know it's cliche and from a movie: "People should not fear their government, their government should fear the people"
Or what Tommy J said: "When the people fear the government you have tyranny...when the government fears the people you have liberty."
What's so scary about it? You're at your desk. Doing work. I am paying you. I should be able to watch you.
If you're slacking, watching porn, fapping, NOT working, I have a right no know.
It's not that I'm going to sit there and watch you 24/7, but I should have the option. If my boss and my IT department can watch where I go on the internet and walk into my cube at anytime, why is it unreasonable to think that the person who pays your paycheck can do the same?
PortableFirefox? I believe it still launches firefox.exe I'd resort to that in college rather than having every setting different (granted I kept it on a shared drive).
Cold Mountain was cut and edited exclusively in Final Cut Pro on a G5 I have some 3-4 minute movies in DV format that are around a gig or two. just because YOU don't use it doesn't mean that the technology doesn't exist. You know BetaMax actually caught on and was used over VHS for Television production?
I can't find specific numbers right now. However I do remember some one saying that FW was more stable under linux because if multiple devices tried fighting for the USB port someone lost. Second. Say you have 3-4 hard drives. Because of USB topography it's going to limit your max speed to any one hard drive. USB's "peak" speed is also 480 MBits while FW is 'only' 400, but because of the setup FW can sustain that 400 MBit much more of the time than USB can at 480.
Now imagine a TV station or the latest Movie producer. Those seconds do matter. Imagine a 50 GB HD movie. Few extra seconds add up, and if it didn't we'd all be content running our 300 mHz Pentiums because "what's an extra second, right?"
Firewire 800 already supports multiple forms of transmission, including coax, optical, and Cat 5E. Here's an article from 2005 about FW800 and coax: http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/09/14/coax-making-a-comeback/ It's just that most people don't know about it. So when the next technology is announced and people get all amazed at the "new" features, I laugh and say "no, that was there with the old revision".
USB devices are 'dumb' they just push bits back and forth. Firewire devices are smart and can talk to each other. Theoretically if someone put the right software on a camcorder, you could dump video directly to a Firewire hard drive.
Second, USB uses CPU. Firewire uses its own chip. (Which is why Apple removed the chip from the iPods, it wasn't going to fit with that and the video decoder in the same form factor).
USB is good because... there's no reason my mouse needs that much speed.
They're for completely different uses, problem is when someone tries to use one where it shouldn't be.
OS\X? I'm sorry, but I have a hard time taking seriously most posts that misspell or miscapitalize the common topic of their point. And to people who spent a lot of time working with the stuff it's like reading a post that confuses 'loose' and 'lose' or 'whose' and 'who's'
It's been out for 6 years now at no point have I ever seen it referred to as OS\X. In the same manner It's not Windows\XP or X\P or ViSTA. They're not MACS or MACs or MaCs. It's not an IPOD or an Ipod or an iPOD. FreeBSD is just that, not FREEBsd or FREEBSD or FreEBsD. Macintosh System * was used before the clones came out at which point it was changed to Mac OS 8, then 9 and X followed.
Capitalization and punctuation as important to my built in English parser as spelling and grammar.
1-2 days? I use TVShows.app + rtorrent. I usually have the show the night that it airs. Only more obscure stuff like Nip/Tuck I'll wake up to in the morning. But popular shows: Heroes, Lost, How I met your Mother, Mythbusters. I usually get it before midnight (CST).
That's not why it didn't sell. It's like saying a kitchen set advertised as "The most notable kitchen set you'll ever own" won't sell in English speaking countries because people would think it includes no table. Notable and No Table are the same thing right?
Changing in public and urination in public have to register too.
I play rugby, if anyone has been to a Rugby game or been around the Rugby community, you may notice that we're pretty improvisional about most things. Often pitches are just some open field with some 2x4 uprights, etc. Never have I seen a locker room and bathrooms are usually port-a-potties.
Prior to a 7s tournament (7 vs 7 for 7 minute halves, large tournaments have easily 500 people) someone was changing near the pitch and then kneeled down and peed on a tree.
Cop who obviously didn't notice the 499 other people doing this, decided to make an example out of this guy. He now has to register on the list.
Guy was going to be a elementary school teacher (and had just graduated). Although I guess it's better than being dead, right?
FEAR EVERYTHING AMERICA. THINK OF THE CHILDREN. (on the other hand I grew up around it, both my parents played and I don't think I could see much of anything that doesn't shock me and if I don't like it, I don't sit and stare and cry foul, I turn away.)
If nothing else when at a friend's house I tell them they have to watch the first 15 minutes. I have numerous engineering friends, peope who fit the description of the couple that never had kids.
Usually they're hooked after that.

Where are Wii?
·
· Score: 2, Informative
And most people that are complaining about production being low have obviously never worked in anything manufacturing related.
You can't just magically increase production. Nintendo increased their production to what they thought was 'safe' for their business. If they wanted to I'm sure they could have built 5 new plants, cranked out 5 million a month and had everyone a Wii within a year.
Then they woudl have had 5 idle manufacturing plans for the next X years until the Wii2 came out.

Don't worry. I've ranted about it before:

Not that I don't think in
And Theo's quote can be found here: http://kerneltrap.org/OpenBSD/Virtualization_Security
"x86 virtualization is about basically placing another nearly full kernel, full of new bugs, on top of a nasty x86 architecture which barely has correct page protection. Then running your operating system on the other side of this brand new pile of shit. You are absolutely deluded, if not stupid, if you think that a worldwide collection of software engineers who can't write operating systems or applications without security holes, can then turn around and suddenly write virtualization layers without security holes."
So they'll be available for Europeans?

It's the AA-merican way.
USB 1.0 is 12Mbit/s
802.11b is 11Mbit/s
You're one of those guys that complained that your USB 1.0 cable modem was slowing down your 4.0 Mbit/sec internet connection, weren't you?
One way to NOT make friends at Best Buy is to direct all computers with web access to MonoPrice.com
/I don't work for monoprice. //But I am a happy customer.
Oh. They also don't like it if you tape Mono Price product page print outs to the USB and Ethernet cables.
And the REALLY hate it if you put on a blue tinted shirt (close but not exactly) and just mill around and direct people elsewhere
What can I say, college got boring sometimes.
