An open smartphone can connect to screens and keyboards and mouse with no problems. The n900 had a VGA output hack going. In fact the n900 is an answer to this slashdot discussion: give nerds root and a GNU userland with the wealth of scripting environments, ruby, lua, newlisp, smalltalk..., see what they come up with. Another answer is a raspberry in a largish smartphone form factor.
Citation needed. IIRC You can take gpl and do what you want with it in your organization, IF you don't redistribute the code. Hosting code and let users be clients is the same as distributing the code in GPLv3, and it makes a lot of sense, because the net result is the same of a distribution.
If the internal codename is a crucial parameter your boss uses to take decisions, I wonder how you are still in business. Unless you're laundering mafia money, that is.
It kinda figures... but why pick Israel of all allies? Israel should have plenty of work to do themselves before bothering with NSA lists, and if the story breaks out like it just did, those theorizing that the USA is Israel's pet would have a field day. I'd have asked some Commonwealth country instead.
And that is one of the worst justifications ever. In fact, it's so bad, it lends credence to the "GPL is viral" belief - because the GPL can take and take and take, and not give back
it takes what IT IS ALLOWED to take, it gives back everything as long as you redistribute it keeping it free.
There are two civilizations, the Babbling Software Developers (BSD) and the Grooming Prevented by Law (GPL). The first has a law: "do what you want". The other has a law "Do what you want as long as it doesn't prevent others to do the same". Simple, no?
I don't see why a dev that allows everybody, commercial entities wielding software patents included, the freedom to use his code would be bothered by the GPL, but then, I am not one of them.
Those who signed over their work to monty do have the open source mariaDB in return, no? That one is as controllable as mysql code (which Oracle can't close down).
If you don't want to feel cheated do not contribute anything under any license. As I said, GPL violations are way worse, so anything you put under GPL and gets stolen by the chinese manufacturer or the korean big corporation should make you way angrier.
Besides, if you want one set to display both your old divx, your heavily compressed B series TV broadcast, and new new hd footage, CRT does a wonderful job at hiding artificats, the other solution mercilessly slam them in your face.
Do you think that fear and distrust for novel things is always negative? one example is sufficient to prove you wrong.
Trojan Horse.
Checkmate.
And have you read the summary? MAYBE that GMO would be the solution. Let's discuss again the topic when it's shown as a solution, as the most efficient solution, including a check on long term effect.
But we are not going to do it because we are ruled by criminals, proof: I have to be insured when I drive a car at 50kph in a city and others can build fission reactors and not pay a dime of insurance.
We already adopted solutions too early, and the costs have been astronomical. In fact we are running so fast that when problems occur we don't even know where to start assessing the possible causes (e.g. correlation of cancer and smoke/diet/pollution/lifestyle/radiation).
when a behemoth like Oracle signs a contract, they know exactly what they buy. Monty can sell whatever he owns to whoever he likes, IMHO. It's nothing compared to violation of GPL terms, for example. It's a good idea to keep the source and license of every important piece of software you use, for exactly those reasons, and consider work signed over to someone else as LOST.
The confusion arising from the fact that oracle mysql shares the same name with the former mysql, while mariadb which is philosophically the natural heir of the latter had to choose a different name.
Apparently Oracle did the right thing by buying up the name, many fall for it and many others mod them up. Depressing, huh. And now you all proper slashdotters are thanking God that something named "postgresql" has basically no marketing value, aren't you.
> if you have a sample rate of 48,000Hz, you can play back a frequency of 24,000Hz
you can play back AT MOST a frequency of 24,000hz, so your representation will be distorted. Luckily this doesn't have much of an impact, but it would sure be nice to have a 96khz audio chain (from AD conversion to speakers) and see if it's worth the effort. This yet doesn't generate 500MB files so I tend to agree with your post in general.
Hey NOBODY talked about an increase: the summary, wait, the page title, talks about a rebound. The problem is that credible scientists should anticipate it, or have an explanation for it... it doesn't matter, climate change debate is a diversion, the problem is human caused pollution.
Thought experiment, what if we completed the pro feature list of the main linux multimedia apps and optionally ported them to a BeOS derivative (haiku)?
This make sense but effective backdoors belong to the OS level, the controllers' level, the hardware level. Not to some half-assed installer of a daemon.
Uhm... I meant a playlist originally conceived by X (in this case M.O.S.) is submitted by user Y on spotify, so it gets labelled as originating from Y. If X finds out and tells spotify, I'd remove the playlist and insert in the TOS the "do not submit playlists that you haven't conceived yourself, as it's not intellectually honest, no matter what the law says"
In short, no: take a 12 song playlist. There are 12! theoretical ways to make a playlist out of them, (that is, 479,001,600), and a more realistic (4!*4!*4!, around 18,000) estimate since, oversimplifying the programming process, some will be good for the beginning some for the middle and some for the end. And this is a technicality since the probability of choosing the same 12 songs in an enormous pool of music is infinitesimal.
As a DJ (who had its mixes featured on a national radio network), I'd like to point out that while beatmixing is an art, but so it is selection (which is obvious) and programming (knowing which song to put after the other, which seems to be lost on younger DJs). Then come charisma and reading the dancefloor but these are not issues in this case.
I still think suing is a bit extreme. Yet Spotify should be removing playlists who have different originators than specified, simply because if mr X does a playlist it shouldn't keep being published as coming from mr Y.
And people should be proud of making their own playlist, you have access to music and charts and discussions and all, things that older generations could only dream about, and you copy playlists? Sad.
> they had not one, not two, but THREE OSes, not one of which was up to the task of competing with Android and iOS Such things happen when you don't basically market your smartphones, not to the devs nor to the public. They had a head start and committed suicide. Nokia managers should have been lapidated- using a suitable amount of 3310 of course.
And let's not forget to score one for conspiracy theorists. If you filter out the shills, Slashdotters (and all those who sold nokia shares the day after the burning platform memo, and they were not few) saw that coming from day one.

In fact, given all those android installations, those who call GNU/Linux "Linux" are now less correct than those calling it "GNU".

How do you know that Intel and AMD haven't included back doors in their processors that elevate a running thread to ring 0? (or -1?)
Why shouldn't they? :D
