I'm still not sure, what is RIAA's purpose? The artists compose and perform the music, the distributors (radio stations, iTunes, Google Play, Pandora and P2P etc) distribute that music to the masses. What is RIAA's role in this ecosystem? Where does RIAA fit?
Keeping the names of the large music publishers out of the news. For example, this story should really be:
EMI, Sony, Universal and Warner push for increased royalty rates
and other stories should be: EMI, Sony, Universal and Warner sue poor student over music sharing.
Actually, I think the parent poster's logic is sound. You either misinterpret his logic or are faulty yourself.
Since you seem to be similarly weak-minded, let me explain it for you. The G-GP post explained that, if he lost his insurance, he would not be able to get alternative insurance. He then went on to say that people who choose not to buy insurance should just live with the consequenses of their "choice", despite the fact that the G-GP poster acknowledged that people who don't have insurance may not be able to buy insurance. In other words, they don't have a choice.
As long as you're going to stay home when that happens, I'm good with you having a choice.
Apparently, you not only fail at logic, you fail at reading comprehension.
The point is that some people "choose" to not buy insurance, because their "choice" is to have health insurance, or to have a roof over their heads and food to eat. To translate this (for the weak minded), this means that people who don't have insurance often don't actually have a choice: they simply cannot afford insurance.
That's not a choice. But you don't care, as far as you are concerned, they should just stay at home and suck it up.
You fail at logic. You think that it is OK for people to have a "choice" to not buy insurance and must live with the consequences, but note that you would not be able to buy insurance if you lost your current coverage.
Yes, perfectly healthy people below age 50 may have a choice. Many others, who don't have a perfect history of health don't actually have a choice if they lost their current insurance. You admit that you are in this position.
So, yes, many people have a choice to not buy insurance. Unfortunately, many others do not have a choice to buy insurance.
just use a screw driver, still takes about 8 hours to dry and your not sitting there wondering if your not holding a blob of water under the spacebar that will fry the encoder
Why bother with that effort? I have cleaned keyboards in a dishwasher. Just leave them for a few days before attempting to use.
All the force is applied in rotation and you do not have to keep pushing the bit into the screw-head to avoid slipping (like with positive or phillips heads).
The need to apply lots of force to hold the driver in place while turning is a feature of Phillips screws (commonly found in the USA) , but not Posidriv (commonly found in Europe).
And if I have KMS disabled because the in-kernel drivers don't support my graphics chipset? I guess that means no console at all? If so, then a giant FAIL for this project.
1. Tax differences - Aussie GST is 10%. No US state has a sales tax that high. Aussie prices are quoted with tax included. US prices are not.
In many cities in California, the sales taxes (state, city, etc.) add up to 9.75%. The real difference is the second statement you make (sales taxes not included in prices).
He then used his own money to found OnLive(2). He used his own money in OnLive(2) to purchase the latent assets left in OnLive(1) and then proceeded to offer jobs to employees from OnLive(1).
Purchase? From whom? Not the shareholders of OnLive(1) -- they get nothing. Perhaps the creditors of OnLive(1)?
Does anyone know how much OnLive(2) paid for the assets? Did OnLive(2) pay a reasonable price?
I once bought a Peugeot bicycle with a lifetime warranty for the frame, which duly broke a few years after. I first wrote Peugeot, and they pointed me at their French headquarters. I wrote them, even in French, and was referred to the bike dealer, where the circle continued. Long story short: I never got anything for my warranty besides the inflated price for the bike and the lesson what a lifetime warranty is *really* worth these days.
Had you lived in that well known socialst mecca, the United Kingdom, you could have taken your claim to Trading Standards, who would probably have helped you.
Note that the ca. $440 million loss Knight took was BECAUSE they couldn't unwind the bad positions they bought into. Goldman Sachs bought the entire block from them at a discount. Knight didn't get any kind of parachute.
Only partially true, or perhaps, partially false. Some of Knight's trades were reversed -- I think trades where the price was 30% off the normal range. So Knight did get a parachute, just a small one.
The solution to this is to either use a framebuffer-based protocol (VNC and friends) or to use an asynchronous compressing X (NX). Neither of which is really taking advantage of the network features of X.
Actually, the solution is a combination of X and VNC. I have a persistent VNC session on the LAN, to which I send the display from mulitple X11 apps running on many differnet machines, and then, I connect to the VNC session either over the LAN or over the Internet (VPN or tunnelled over SSH).
The idea of multiple VNC sessions, one on each machine that I would run an X program, but cannot if Wayland replaces X, is complete FAIL.
The claim that I was responding to was that there was no lag over a LAN, not the open internet, a LAN. I gave a quick scenario to generate lots of lag on a LAN. That was the claim.
No, the claim was that I can see no lag. To which you provide an absurd corner case and then claim that other people are making insane comments?
I use X11 over a network all the time. Losing this capability would make me much less productive. The idea that I should start a VNC session on every machine and then connect to that: laughable. I don't need or want a full desktop to start just one program on the remote machine, let alone all the issues of running a desktop as root (yes, mostly I use X11-based GUIs for administrattion on machines that have no user logins configured for good reasons).
As for the comments about persistence of X apps across sessions -- this is easily solved by using a VNC session and sending the display to the VNC session. I can then connect and disconnect to the VNC session.
Frankly, if Wayland become mainstream and X is no longer supported, I might as well go from using Linux as my primary desktop to using Windows.
But in the end, X network transparency doesn't work very well over Wan. It doesn't work very well over MPLS. In general it doesn't work all that well for the situations where you couldn't just be using some sort of remote solution.
X works very well over a LAN, and, as bandwidth becomes cheaper, problems running over a WAN will go away.
X wasn't able to handle the security problems and so the whole infrastructure of remote X and remote shells has gotten more complex and thus less useful.
Now you are showing that you are out of touch. Tunneling X over SSH resolves the security problems and makes things much more simple (no more "xhost +" ). Over the LAN, I see no lag when using remote X tunneled over SSH.
In any case, given the vast variation in paper composition and atmospheric conditions during fires I'm somewhat amazed that ALL paper ALWAYS combusts at exactly the exact same temperature to within one degree of an obsolete measuring system.
Care to elaborate? Because it seems at least one of us is fucking thick and needs educating.
You need to hand in your geek card. Had you read the novel by Ray Bradbury, you would understand, but I will be kind and explain it to you. The novel is titled "Fahrenheit 451". In this dystopian view of the future, all books are burned and the writer explains that paper needs to get to 451 degrees to burn.
So, no, I don't really think that all paper needs to get to 451 degrees Fahrenheit to burn, but my central point remains: Fire safes are designed to prevent fire damage to paper, not hard drives.
Why not get a firesafe?
Some of them are rated for higher temperatures than house fires usually attain
Because they are rated to prevent paper from catching on fire. And what temperature does this happen (hand in your geek card if you don't know the answer!): 451 Farenheit.
Think your hard drive will survive 451 degrees?
Yes, you can get a special fire safe to protect media, but it is more money.
That would be true if it was the federal government that wanted to re-try him. However, in this case, the reason double jeopardy doesn't apply is because of the dual sovereignty doctrine
I doubt that the framers of the constitition intended the double jeopardy clause to work this way.
Put a freakin "check computer" light on the case since you love the car analogies. If SMART senses an I/O error, it can be flagged and the light can be lit
Blame your OS vendor for the lack of built-in SMART monitoring capabilities.
Your only chance this round to help at all is to vote with Republicans or other conservatives, whose angle is reduced federal government, and increasing state powers basically with Tea Party candidates). That is the only way to loose the noose (not misspelled).
So, along with Romney's comments about Obama's support for Green Energy, Romney plans to remove all subsidies and tax credits that oil and gas companies benefit from, does he? Strangely, I haven't heard this statement from the Romney campaign, but I must have just overlooked it.
Hmmm, been using 'puters since 1984 and still haven't found one that has a hard drive that, a) lived forever, or b) gave me a warning before it died a horrible death.
Then you haven't been monitoring the SMART data for reallocated sectors and self-test failures. Either that, you have been very unlucky.

How do you expect your hard drives to tell you that they are going to fail? Poke a little flag out of the PC's case? Is that your idea of "just work"?
Or is your beef just that your hard drives did not live as long as you expected?
Tell me, do you change the oil in your car's engine, or do you expect your multi-thousand dollar car purchases to "just work"?
