And I'd love to watch them, but you decided to only post them in your own, unpopular and inefficient codecs/containers, and none of my media players support it. If they are trying to get people interested in free/open video encoding, they shouldn't post in a format that assumes the audience already cares about it. Won't be watching. Assholes. (Yes, I know they won't read this).
That's what I use my old Mac for. Running OSX 10.5, Samba as my server. Clients are a PS2 with Free MC Boot and SMS, as well as a Wii with MPlayerCE. Unfortunately, the PS2 is far superior:(. The Wii is my backup for low-def shows, since it has a 2 TB harddrive attached. SABnzbd is a must. I also have NZBMobile on my Android phone. Never been happier with a weekend project.
A few volunteer projects have "failed" in a "I'm taking my ball and going home" kind of way when their authors got tired of Beta and Alpha testers releasing preproduction versions of their software, that is, software that was intended to be given out free anyway, once it was in a final release state. Look to homebrew, emulation, etc. I think that was the death of an N64 emulator or two, as well as a few more inventive hacks on consoles.
I just downloaded and installed it, had never heard of it. I had been using better keyboard recently, which is in fact a better keyboard, but Swype blows it away. I'm pretty thankful I found this.
Ok, the characters listed aren't difficult, or uncommon, they just aren't "official." The real issue here is, why the hell does slashdot.jp have more features than slashdot.org? Click an external link, and there's an interstitial offering a direct, Google cache, and web archive (Way Back Machine) link. Seriously, bring this to.org. And add Coral cache to both, I know it's got an l AND an r in it, but it could still benefit.jp.
Disable it in the bios of the device? Wtf, if you need security, disable it in the ROUTER. UPnP is for people who don't know how to set it manually. Why are you running your network on stock commodity hardware anyway?
naki sumo isn't "Crying Baby Contest" It's "Crying Sumo" (Crying as a gerund). If you put english in parentheses after a foreign word, it's assumed it's a direct translation. (Assuming slashcode doesn't still bork Japanese)
I think the real issue is that they don't want rapid fire buttons to give unfair advantages in online play, so they want to stop them using whatever means necessary without opening them to liability (As banning controllers with a certain vendor id would do). And also to avoid putting in place a stop-gap that the vendor could circumvent (Fake Vendor ID). I also think the USB license agreement might forbid both methods, blocking and faking IDs.
Ouch, they could, somewhat hilariously, be in trouble for trademark violations for some of these books. I'm sure xkcd isn't a registered trademark, but if it were, and I'm sure other examples are, they could get sued to titling their book "XKCD" as they have.
I'm tired of groups choosing liberal licenses, then getting butt-hurt when people follow them, and use them to their advantage. If you don't want people to take your work and use it for their own gain, GPL, BSD, and CC may not be for you (Though CC has some licenses that may be). I contacted a project owner for a bid sniper for eBay that was warning people that they couldn't take his source code and produce their own product from it, but he had licensed it as GPL. He responded with anger, saying how dare I tell him what he had agreed to do (I had no intention of making my own product, I don't even have an eBay account). My only intention was to tell him he'd chosen the wrong license for what he intended to do. I'm sick and god-damned tired of people picking licenses they do not understand or truly agree to.
My point was that even formats that were known to be used in violation of patents flourished because of technical superiority. I'm not saying no alternatives existed, but there's no doubt that in their niches, MP3 and GIF were/are king (though GIF has lost some ground, I don't know or care how much). People will use the "best" choice regardless of patents.
Hate to reply to myself, but my bullshitometer just went off. "Some submarine patents had a "hidden" time of 40 years (see footnote 27 on page 9)." This is an outright lie, if you look at the source he quotes. The patent in question was delayed by the PTO, not the submitter, due to national security concerns (Valid or not). This would be a case of a patent submitter being marginalized, not using underhanded tactics.

Most options don't really work that way. Most simply have cash settlement. It makes it cheaper for everyone to exercise them.
"drink driving" is the British term. I'm not sure where "unacceotable" comes from though.

they invented Niconico Douga.
We could call it Toejam and Earl
That's not "paper", that's "character".

Is it available for Android? I like Swype so far (15 minutes of usage), but I have been searching for a way to input Japanese, too.
Haha, I like how you explained DYOR so we didn't have to google it.

What would be an example of when a 3 orders of magnitude difference would be irrelevant?

Yes sir, couldn't get it working properly at first, but I dragged and dropped it outside the red box, and it seems to be working. Problem solved!
It only starts getting cumbersome at 1,000th of a yoctonewton, so until we reach that point, use fractions. Oh nooooooooo!
That would normally piss me off, but I don't buy books from Amazon, only other goods. *shrugs*

Sounds to me like the bitchers are bitching. Par for the course.

What? I don't get the relevance.
