NSAPI is required for some of the applications I need to support at work, so in order to make everything work, I installed Firefox 51 and disabled updates. In addition to installing Firefox 51, I made sure I downloaded the complete Firefox 51 installation executable so that I could install it anytime I needed it.
Firefox 52 does allow the plugins to work, but you need to do some backend configurations, so I just stop at Firefox 51. This has been a real problem since Google Chrome disabled NSAPI a little while ago and all other major browsers do not support it now.
I just say get Firefox 51 and disable all updates.
Textbook publishers seem to have the ability to provide all of their stuff with ADA compliance for the starting cost of only $100 for cheap stuff and hundreds more for high quality stuff. When the Open Educational Resources (OER) stuff starts to eat their profits, they fight back by pushing for laws that hurt small free alternatives. Seems like it should be cheaper and easier to provide ADA compliance.
It seems to me that if more people sued when patents were not implemented, we might have less patents out there making every developers life worse. Patent trolls might think twice before setting up shop.
After looking at those examples, it seems to me that C programmers can claim something is an "ugly hack" because it was not what they wanted or because someone else's code was messed up. The C code hacks where there because they could not see an elegant solution. Programmers for other languages probably do not even know that the code they are writing is ugly.
There was an idea to do something related not too long ago. Universities and Community Colleges panicked and thought all of their students would leave in the future and move completely online. MOOCs would traditional education.
The reality is that not all people want to learn that way. The Slashdot crowd might be able to be completely successful watching a screen and talking to an in-class "Tech", but most people are not like that. Many people attend community colleges and smaller universities because they can ask questions and get answers in a much smaller and personal setting.
If this idea had true mass potential, it would have happened already and community colleges would already be gone.
If first sale does not apply than Capitol Records must have sold their copyright. If they sold the copyright, then we can ignore this whole battle because they have no right to sue. Now, the owners can distribute the work as copies instead because they are the copyright holder. I like the direction Google is taking this.
So, it appears that Google is claiming that Capital Records either sold a copy of the music or they actually sold their copyright to the music. Is that how I am supposed to read this?
802.11a will get around the interference from other 802.11b/g devices as well as any microwave ovens that might be there, but the real problem might be all of the water interference in the room. Trade shows are full of people, who are full of water, who block your signal.
Microwaves operate at around 2.45GHz. This causes problems for 802.11b/g which operate at 2.4GHz, but not for 802.11a which operates at 5GHz. I imagine 802.22 will operate at a much lower frequency and will not conflict with microwave ovens.
Yes, but I believe the argument was basically about the math courses that really have little importance to Computer Science. Calculus is rarely used in computer science. When professors are asked why it is still in the program, a lot of them will respond with something about "maturity" or something else like that. If you need a lot of math for computer science, that is fine, but shouldn't it be the math that is more common to computer scientists?
This ruling is ridiculous. Once a signal is openly broadcast why do the content providers think they can limit how you view the content?
The signal is not really open. If you lived in Japan, you would know that there is a law that allows NHK to collect money if you have a television or other device that can pick up the signal. You are required to pay money, even if you do not watch NHK. The funny part is that the law requires you to pay, but no one can do anything about it (except continue to visit and ask for money) if you do not pay.
I once paid for a Sony LocationFree box and had it hosted at a third party company so that I could watch Japanese television in the USA. What always confused me was that there was no good alternative to using Sony LocationFree, I wanted to have an Internet channel (also ruled illegal), not a box I paid for hosted in Japan somewhere.
I think they should sue everyone who is in violation. To help them identify people who are causing them harm by violating their patents, I have compiled this short list:
Each song is just a copy. The RIAA can collect multiple $180k payments for each song. Seeing as the nature of the letter was custom written, it makes sense that the cost would actually be an order of magnitude higher in value. I can see the letter as being worth millions since they cannot send the same letter for different cases.
If it "predates the Swastika by hundreds if not thousands of years", then why does your article claim that the manji is "derived from the Hindu religious swastika". Maybe you should have claimed instead that the manji predates the Nazi movement by hundreds if not thousands of years.
Assuming email messages in the UK are actually sent using clients and servers in the UK, it seems that this would be a great time to start working on getting a newer fixed up protocol ready to completely replace the easy to snoop on SMTP.

How do you possibly get an average of LESS than one hop, unless you're getting the file from yourself?
Usually when people are talking about hops, they are referring to routers. The only way you would not go through a router is if you and the source were in the same LAN. If you get an IP address from your ISP and it is one of the private ones (ie. 192.168.0.0/16) then you will likely have to go through a NAT machine before you will be able to see anyone. If your IP address is a publicly route-able address then it will most likely be in a LAN with your neighbors. There are ways to explain why 0.89 would be possible.
Claiming 0.89 hops is more interesting because they are claiming that others in your network are already downloading or have downloaded the file. It seems unlikely that someone in my own network would be downloading the same file, or would be seeding the file that I wanted. It seems to me that the most likely way that they could get 0.89 hops is by limiting the number of actual files distributed by their P4P software. Maybe they just had 10+ test files that just happened to be all over the network already.
When the Internet, as it is today, was designed, the creators had the choice between packet switching and circuit switching.
Circuit switching is the way that the phone companies went. This is why you either get the call through or do not get the call through. With circuit switching you are guaranteed a certain amount of bandwidth. Because of this, your call will be there until the call is ended and the circuit is released, even if you do not use all of your guaranteed bandwidth. You could call someone and not talk for an hour and still have the bandwidth locked up. This seemed a little inefficient to the Internet designers.
Packet switching does not lock up the resources like circuit switching does. Instead, the packets are sent on a best effort type system. If lots of people are using the bandwidth, each person gets a little bit less. With hundreds of calls, a single new flow of traffic does not make much of a difference. Unfortunately, there are problems when too many flows try to use the available resources, which can result in lost packets or data. Packet switching does waste a lot less than circuit switching, but provides no guarantees.
To complicate things a bit more, mobile phones are unable to have a wire connecting them to the network. This means that multiple wireless devices use the same air space. If too many people are talking at the same time, this results in collisions in the air. Packets that would have only been lost due to congestions and other things like that now have to deal with actual physical transmission collisions. This makes things even more complex if you want a few extra 9's.
Wireless service providers have to balance over-provisioning the network with trying to use the resources they have already invested as efficiently as possible. It basically means that the more 9's you want, the more you have to over-provision the networks, the more money and resources that are actually wasted.
Worse yet, if you sign up for a subscription, you're saying that it's okay for the music service to wipe out your music collection if you cancel. Imagine walking into your living room as all your books disappear because you changed libraries, or your DVD collection disappears because you switched from Blockbuster to Netflix.

No, they are saying "I love you" to the car network.

I bet Biden talked them into blocking Linux since it is the Open Source people who stand up to the RIAA.
Is Biden as vp better than McCain as pres?
