On x64 Windows systems, addressing is always relative, so this eliminates the DLL relocation. So it might actually save memory to use 64-bit guest OSses, as there will be less relocation and more sharing.
Well, from TFA i understood that so far, they only have a flexible screen. Plastic screens on a watch are a horrible idea. They scratch much more easily than glass ones.
The question they asked was "Which sounds better, channel A or B?" whereas the question to be asked is:
"The original is channel C. Which sounds more like the original, channel A or channel B?"
Asking the first question, your subject will pick the track with the higher 'loudness' (a bit of bass/treble boost) almost invariably.
The latter question is the correct one, as the whole point of recording music is to make it sound like you're actually there in the room with the musicians.
You're also clear in the patent area. As an individual, you cannot infringe on patents. You're allowed to go to the patent office and build whatever is described there. You're not allowed to distribute such device - then you are no longer an individual.
In software terms, you may compile and use LAME for encoding MP3s at home, but you're not allowed to distribute the compiled result.
I wondered how long a "full length Blu-Ray movie" is? Is it, like, just under 100 metres so it fits in the cable? Or is it 3 km, so that you have to drag that 100m cable for 30 seconds at 1 m/s to transfer it?
All these new units of measurement get me really confused.
Having seen goats chewing happily on pieces of clothing and other garbage, mutating goats to have no sense of taste sounds to me like mutating rabbits to have long ears. (I was planning to write something slightly different but less suited for small children and Americans here.)
I don't know about the rest of you, but i always make a point of lying through my teeth when it comes to online subscriptions to anything - especially a game. When asked, I'm a 12 year old redhaired girl living in Namibia.
Now back to their stats. How do they know 50% is 13 years or younger? Right. They ask for your birthdate. And then assume that you click the truth...
They always lie about the amount of radiated light.
Put a 60W incandescent, "equivalent" tube, and "equivalent" LED next to each other. The good old light bulb is clearly brighter than the other two, and the LED is clearly even dimmer than the tube.
How come those manufacturers get away with such obvious errors?
I would remove "aware of" from that first sentence. In my experience, it is the CEO (or some other look-at-my-shiny-new-laptop) who takes his laptop full of sensitive information home so his eight year old daughter can play and chat on it online using the open WiFi connection to the router that is conveniently configured to route all incoming traffic to the laptop.
You are focussed on fingerprinting a single frame or still picture. That is hard, i agree with that.
Fingerprinting a movie is much simpler. For example, to create a useful hash for a series of frames, just throw away the color information and work on the grayscale channel only. Then reduce the size to something like 8x8 pixels, and compare these to the previous frame. Encode the difference (e.g., set a bit to one if the level goes up, and to 0 if it goes down, this gives a 256-bit number for those two frames).
With enough frames, and a bit of fault tolerant comparing of hashes, it's simple to create a mathematical fingerprint this way which is unique to a movie.
The proposed hash is indifferent to re-encoding, scaling, changing colors, and most overlays.
If they use anything similar, you could rotate your movie by 90 degrees or invert the image to get around it...

I'm cashing out everything, buying canned food and ammo and moving to a farm.
Where you will grow your own canned food and breed more ammo?
Maybe you should take a few books as well, or better, read them before you move.
Well, unless they make that center hole a lot bigger, I won't be rubbing that disc on my skin anywhere. So I'm not really worried.

Now that made me think.
If that's what it takes to ban Flash from the net forever, I'd buy one, just to sponsor that effort.
On the other hand, I'd be buying from the evil lords of quicktime, so now I have to decide which is worse: Apple or Adobe.
Can't we just put them in an arena, let them slug it out, and then cut the victor's throat and get rid of both evils and have some fun?
Because counterfeiting an American car is like counterfeiting Swedish wine.
You must work for the pr0n industry then. And it looks like you can't get it up
percase.

I guess the cashier cannot distinguish between the types because they're... indistinguishable?
I always wondered, why don't they just sell the "standard" ones and just put a collection box for the unfair traded farmers near the cashier?
And, uh, if there are "organic" as opposed to "standard" bananas, i wonder what the "standard" ones are made of. Even plastic is organic...
I know how to spell banananananas, i just don't know when to stop.

Who would run out of fuel first, the laptop or the plane?
Or the coffee.
I'm waiting for someone to tape a 22" LCD to his car's windshield.

Mac users have no money because they spent it already.

My first thought was "Big Indians or Little Indians"? Weird how your brain gets wired after a few years of hackin'.
I think it's a sign from the Tiki Gods that it's time for coffee...
