I use a useragent switcher in Firefox for my Linux desktop machine for websites that don't work properly or don't display all their content. A similar plugin on Android would be very handy. Perhaps Dolphin has one, but I haven't checked.
Its not. In fact its easier. RTSP is designed specifically with streaming data in mind, and accepts lost packets even. HTTP being on TCP has the problem of retransmits clogging up the pipes and slowing down transmission on busy or not-quite-perfect connections.
The issues brought up are mostly true for me as well (Dell Streak, Android 2.2) but the nice part is being able to watch embedded video and navigate websites with Flash front pages. Both seem to work properly (including DLink's annoying selector app). Video websites other than Youtube and Ustream which don't have their own apps are actually visible as well because Flash video is supported.
Donations for a legal fund should always be handled in trust by the legal team not the person seeking legal assistance, unless you just want to give away your money.
Check your User Agreement for the PlayStation Network. You are only allowed to use Sony approved and licensed devices.
Chapter and verse please.
I've read it through several times before, and I can't be bothered doing it again, but nowhere does it prohibit the use of random third party devices. It also doesn't use any form of internal protection to prevent it. Go ahead, plug in a Dell keyboard or use a ThinkGeek roll-out Bluetooth one. They'll both work fine. Its called conforming to standards. My new PS3 slim has a DLink 7 port powered USB 2.0 hub attached so I can charge more peripherals while leaving my steering wheel and Eye plugged in. Works great. So does my Epson printer (yes, you can print full colour photos from a PS3 directly).
Notably of course in your mind, this didn't happen and neither did Microsoft suing over its own mod chip issues.
PS no there's no difference between suing "the hacker" who cracks a system and "the company" who sells the devices in question. If you think there is, you can debate that philosophical issue elsewhere.
The Playstation3 lets you rip your CDs to unprotected high quality AAC files on the hard drive, then transfer them to external storage of any kind by USB. Last I checked, the only DRM the PS3 cares about is the games they sell for it.
The subject has come up at work and any talk of boycotting Sony is met with laughter. I'm convinced the only people claiming to boycott Sony products are a very small minority of angry loners doing it out a "holier than thou" attitude to impress their fellow trolls.
Exactly. Sony doesn't make inferior or crappy product, and as a consumer, I appreciate a company I know will try harder and harder every year to be on the top of their game in their product lines. Sony TVs are frequently the best in the world, Sony portable music players are often some of the best available, Sony professional headphones are quite decent (although I use DT770s myself), etc., etc....... where are all these terrible Sony products exactly? I don't see them.
Sigh. So yeah, my PS3 came with a compact flash reader, standard USB ports, standard HDMI connector, standard S/PDIF connector, standard IEC power plug, standard bluetooth for controllers, standard SATA user-replaceable hard drive...... their competitors? not so much. Yes, Sony also has memory stick support. Guess what, the PS3 isn't memory-stick only... and the slims don't have memory slots at all any more. Name me something non-standard and proprietary about the PS3 that matters.
Not to mention that nobody else is producing consoles that were purposely possible to hack around on using Linux.
OtherOS was disabled shortly after GeoHot posted on his blog that he'd used OtherOS to figure out a way to bypass the system protection.
Which is evil? Microsoft and Nintendo for making a heavily restricted console that never came with Linux, or Sony for offering it then taking it away when it was abused? Last I checked, I bought a PS3 specifically to support Sony for being so open minded on the PS2 and PS3 as to include Linux support at all. Also for not restricting which USB devices or hard drives I use with their products and sticking to open standards instead.
Do people even do their research anymore? No. They just all jump on a stupid band wagon like somehow Sony Music == SCEA. Just a hint: the PS3 *allows* the ripping of CDs to non copy protected files. They're totally different divisions.
To avoid your silliness for a moment, Sony has several orders of magnitude more than 1000 customers.
One thousand annoyed persons is a drop in the bucket for most companies, anyone who works technical support would know that.
Most importantly, if you're going to attack someone, make it the judicial system. Sony filed suit, its the courts who allowed it. The courts in good old America are the legal barrier here, not Sony. I would expect nothing less from any other company -- sue the guy who possibly stomped on the crown jewels. Being upset at a corporation for trying to protect its assets is just moronic.
I don't recover disks anymore, we just reformat and reinstall for everything these days. I can reinstall a Linux box in under an hour and a Windows machine in a bit more. Restoring from backups is simple enough after that.
I don't want data on the drives to be recoverable, because it may not be me doing the recovering.
Who cares? The nature of PJ is irrelevant, its the content of the articles one should judge. If they are valid and true and well written, then it doesn't matter if PJ is really a team of forty journalists from Mars, now does it?
The code you write is more free under BSD. The code that is revised by people who used it is not. Many will not be able to use the revisions made by second and third parties.
The code you write is slightly less free under the GPL. The code that is revised by others is equally free to the original. Anyone can use revisions made by second and third parties.
A BSD licensed kernel going into a smart phone would not necessarily result in source code we could download to then work on the kernel for that phone. A Linux licensed kernel requires the phone company to release a source version of their kernel so we can tinker with it ourselves.
There are GPL implementations of flash that could probably be made to run on OpenBSD.
OpenBSD has gotten a blind eye from most people over the years because its a pain to install and a pain to be compatible with. Nine times out of ten, I'd rather use OpenBSD than Linux on an internet-facing server, but nine times out of ten, Linux will run on that server easily and OpenBSD won't.
To be fair, the lgpl exists for specifically the purpose of things like zlib and libpng and other interoperability libraries. It doesn't require the open licensing of the linked binary, but direct changes to the library itself must remain open. I do sympathize with the use of MIT or BSD licenses in some cases, but for long-lived public-serving code I prefer lgpl or pure gpl. GPL purists who dislike the LGPL do not have my sympathy, and people who don't recognize the value in proprietary code don't either, although it better be really good code if you're going to package it up and hide it.
I prefer to say that the GPL preserves future openness in the way that basic laws preserve the individual's right to most choices by outlawing robbery, murder and other personal-freedom restricting acts by others.
The BSD license is more like complete anarchy. But like most people, I prefer basic rules in place to preserve my freedom for the future by imposing some limits on others' actions.
In my experience users can see the difference from just 4500 to 5400 rpm laptop drives. And that's not much of a jump at all.
From 5400 to 7200 RPM, a Windows PC is quite substantially more responsive. If you don't feel the difference with a 15k RPM enterprise drive your problem may simply be that the drive was already fast enough for the workload you're giving it.
That said, for intense database applications, every moment counts.

Paid Flickr accounts run by people who read the Terms of Service almost never have problems.
PS nobody ever claimed these were where you should store the only copies of your data.

Just my opinion, IANAL.

This is called abusing my Karma ... because seriously, the parent (my own) isn't trolling and such moderation stinks of abuse.

Backups are a better solution than disk recovery.

I've never understood using truecrypt when you can just use the built-in LUKS feature set.

I was thinking almost exactly the same thing, except I am a native English speaker.
I've never heard a tax haven described as anything but a tax haven because that's what its called.
Tax heaven lol. Sigh.

Oh man, my kingdom for a 'so funny but so true' mod right now :)
Consider relativistic acceleration and faster than light travel in there too.
There's also the RAM with the blinky lights on it :)
