What if you're in an area with little to no coverage? It happens all the time to me, in my basement when my phone is in my pocket and under the desk, where the person will hear the phone ring multiple times and go to Voicemail. I hear nothing. Either they think I will see their number on my display (which I dont), or they leave a voicemail message and I'm like 'wtf' ?
I think voicemail can be good.. But if I know someone tried contacting me and left me one, I call them back before I check it. that's just me though
I still think it's sad we're seeing Linux routers coming out as much as they do. I can understand from the uPnP prospective to use Linux, but I really don't like having the applications on my computers control which ports people can and cant access (doesn't that defeat the purpose of a firewall nearly??). I've wanted to setup a cheap embedded OpenBSD router for ages now (with a web interface and such) that I can give to my friends knowing they're getting security AND stability together. However, the manufacturer support just isn't there.. I finally decided to setup a mini-itx OpenBSD system which runs great on flash, but even though it's small (in my view) the average user won't agree.
I hope some manufacturers like Linksys decide to change some of their embedded OS', unless of course this is exactly what they want.. Less stability so people are forced to upgrade to Enterprise Class equipment?
I don't think he said that it doesn't generate CO2.. Diesel burns much more efficient than gas since it carries more potential energy than gas, resulting in less emissions. This is why diesel cars are able to get a much further range on the same sized tank than gas counterparts. Gasoline is just a byproduct from the cokers in the petroleum process and is so abundant that they had to find something to do with it.. ie: vehicles! Diesel/Heating oil is used in a wider range of areas.
These guys claim we have 20-30 years at the current rare we're using Zinc. It's the 23rd most abundant element in the earth's crust. I don't see this being an issue right now (2011), but will inevitably be one
I'm thinking Intel is talking about bringing thousands of cores to minimal piece(s) of silicon. The Blue Gene still uses single cored processors, just mass amounts compacted together by a crossbar switch.. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclops64). I highly doubt Intel would be referring to having a system with each core separate.. That was my take anyways
If the memory controller is built onto the silicon, each core has access to the cache directly, and there is enough bandwidth between the cache and memory, I don't see this being a problem. I'm quite sure they have this figured out:)
It's a good idea.. Somewhat of the same idea that the Cell chip has going for it (and well, Phenom X3s). You make a product with lots of redunant objects so that when some are bound to failure, the percentage of failure is much lower..
If there are 1000 cores on a chip, and 100 go bad... You're still only losing a *maximum* of 10% of performance versus when you have 2 or 4 cores and 1 or 2 go bad, you have a performance impact of 50% essentially.. Brings costs down because yeilds go up dramatically.
Apache doesn't use the GPL licence, but rather the "Apache Licence". It comes included with OpenBSD for that very reason. Gcc is the only GPL-based code in OpenBSD, and the very reason why they're moving towards the Portable C Compiler (PCC).
Also, the reason Linksys was forced to distribute the source code for their WRT54G routers was for the exact same reason as the article.
Yea, Minerva only creates the software to run on it. It consists of a Widevine DRM backend and Minerva is responsible for the rest. The hardware itself is created by Sigma Designs (who make a lot of the other IPTV and motorola boxes)
Yeah. Sigma Designs is the company responsible for creating the actual hardware on many of the boxes out there (Motorola, Scientific Atlanta, etc). The actual software ran on them, however, is done by Minerva Networks which is the reason for the post =)
So I emailed Denon about these great quality cables. When I get a reply, we will officially know if these cables do, in fact, not suffer from the 3-4% overhead cause by the overhead suffered in cheaper cables.
I didn't RTFA... but i know as a fact that people would rather read a hard copy book rather than on a screen. I, myself, have downloaded many ebooks (and had some sent to me from friends), read them and bought them after if they were actually good. It's sad to see that some authors (and other corporations) that 'piracy' always leads to lost revenue.. Even if someone would never have purchased the product before. When will they learn?
Saturating your upstream (maxing your upload) means your downstream will suffer because you will be unable to send TCP ACKs as fast resulting in your internet to appear slower. Setting a worldwide limit on your entire outgoing traffics to just slightly below your maximum attainable upload will allow you to take advantage of giving maximum priority to your ACKs.
Of course, on top of this one can also setup hierarchical queues for low bandwidth, high bandwidth and default queues (to keep it simple), but maxing your overall upload to just below your maximum attainable and giving priority to TCP ACKs are the best place to start...
You can't simply say that someone '10 lbs heavier' is worse off than before.. Sure it's probably a good bet (in this sector), but what if more and more are now going to the gym and gaining muscle mass instead? In my current role in IT, I've managed to put on 15lbs, but lean out.. You can't judge someone simply by their weight necessarily is all I'm trying to say
I wonder if Microsoft is going to release an 'update' to Vista which turns YOUR PC into a DRM authentication server. They just don't want anyone knowing about it... yet
At least if Google loses contact with the balloon, it's still in the earth's atmosphere and won't necessarily need missiles to shoot it down, but merely a sniper rifle would suffice

What about if someone's running an encrypted VOIP server?

First place I checked actually =)
The system only comes with 60MB of non-volatile flash on a jffs(2) filesystem and 32MB are free.
Because paper doesn't discintigrate or change overtime ... plus how much do you think you could store on a 2D barcode?

Guess it was just a matter of time for Intel's boards to be up and Atom.
What else do they have in mind? A firmware to have a camera with a cellphone built in? Oh, wait ...

You would likely need to set up reverse ssh (assuming he's behind NAT with ports blocked).
That's what SHE said.

Well that's what surge protectors are for. If you have damage done, contact the company of the surge protector. or simply run off UPS :)
