Safety measures 31 The liable data manager must take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data processed. These measures must achieve a level of security that is appropriate with regard to
a) the technical options available, b) what it would cost to implement the actions; c) the specific risks involved in the processing of personal data, and d) how sensitive the treated personal information is.
When the liable data manager uses a personal data assistant, the liable data manager must ensure that the personal data assistant can implement the security measures required and ensure that the personal data assistant actually take those measures.
The regulatory authority may decide on security measures.
.. or well, scrap the later part, I'm trying to find what the law actually says over at datainspektionen but it's hard to find anything relevant to the security of storing or sharing the personal data. I don't wanna claim too much in case it's not true:/
And how are you supposed to know you're unauthorized if it's out there in the open?
To make the good old car analogies: * You ride a road and get caught because obviously you're not allowed to use THAT road, not that anyone told you so.. * You get a speed ticket for following the speed on the signs because they intended to put some others up last week but haven't got them up yet.
If you try to access/.. I can see how that claim holds, but for a function/webpage just lying around?
Pretty weak description, over here in Sweden we've got laws about how digitized/stored personal data should be handled instead. So if you fuck up and leak the data the problem is most likely not the one who happened to see or get the data but rather the idiot who let it happen.
I doubt contrast is irrelevant just because the object happen to have colors.
Sure we may not care that much if the colors is somewhat wrong, but we'll still pick up the details don't we? It's not like they eyes goes "whoopdedoo, here comes the colors, better not give a shit longer."
Don't JPEG for instance care more about preserving light/contrast than colors? (Too long since I knew such things, googled it and eventually all color/light information was lost but the resolution the same, the article wasn't very good but I guess that's what you get if you want to keep it shallow.)
Camera sensors usually only store one color / pixel to and then interpolate it into RGB in the stored image, which I assume is ok because the wrong colors may be acceptable when one get a higher resolution. Or maybe it's just made because it's easier to make the sensors as such and decreasing the resolution to get all colors would render more (not likely?) errors and lower resolution. Sigma got full RGB-pixels in their sensors, but they still advertise the cameras as 3*real resolution cameras just so they won't look as low speced against others which don't use full RGB-pixels.
If it's RBG + Yellow I assume it will either light both RG and yellow for whatever amount they got together or replace some of the light from R and G with Y.
Isn't it said that our eyes are more sensitive to green or something such? Don't lots of panels/CCDs/whatever have 2 green pixels for every blue or red?
Though that to is totally off-topic.
Anyway, the higher resolution the happier me. However the more open phone, lower price, upgradeable and hackable and so on is true to:D
An iPhone with inflation seem to cost around the same as my Amiga 500+ did.
Sure that one never got me laid but I knew which one I would prefer and which value I'd appreciate more. The Amigas (sure, we had to upgrade back then to;)) was the joy of my life for years, the iPhone would just be yet another phone, with a usable calendar.
No doubt I'll be called a troll but really shouldn't you put your mad skillz to a better use?
And people with the best skills has shown time and time again that they prefer to put it into something they enjoy, hence the demo scene (though some has of course decided that food was a good idea, and hence moved on to developing games or whatever.)
Lots of applications "suffer" from programmers ego by having functionality which may not make sense, be very useful or mostly bloat the application just because "it would be cool to be able to" / "I wonder if I could..", maybe less so the more commercial, large and managed the project is.
It's quite simple: The most used software of todays computers for most people is the web browser.
So having a decent web-browser make AmigaOS much more usable. And for most else it already have good software. Sure it may not be the state of the art for video editing or something such but for everyday use everything is there and people enjoy their old apps I assume.
Enough people use it that they have donated more than 5000 euro to get it ported to that page. I don't know if it handles the donation from the old project which was about the same think, getting a modern browser (gecko) on AmigaOS.
Yeah, so for you wanting to know different things you ended up with your system having multiplications instead of divisions where's others claim the same benefit for trying to calculate some others things using the opposite(x^(-1)) system.
Neither situation is "hard" or impossible to understand. I don't get this news item.
They show liter/100km around here but I don't know if it's for the last 100 km or if it's for the moment the number shows. I would had assumed the later.
But that going from say 8 to 40 don't say much if you floor it for 500 meter after a red light, how much gasoline did you wasted? What did it cost?..
And if it would be over 100 km then it would be really hard to know the consumption in litre / 100 km during THOSE 500 meters. How big was the impact in percents?
Must be because you talk diesels or something such because imho 4.7 l/100km would be good for a compact (gasoline) car and 7.13 l/100 km totally normal for a medium sized car.
The binary file _IS_ binary, nothing to interpret. The data is what it is.
If you start talking about what you _DO_ with the data then most likely every single text file will be different to any other text file since they will have different contents. Whatever it's an eggdrop config file, a list of your e-mail passwords or c source code file doesn't matter much. With the c source code file your messages within the program may still end up looking different depending on the charset used since the same value/binary number may mean something totally different.
Percentages aren't that relevant to this - it's absolute fuel consumption that matters.
That totally depends on how you think.
Just let it rest as that. When I read the question then I started thinking in percents since that made the most sense for a comparison to me and in percents it doesn't matter what units is used.
And after figuring out the percents then yes, a percentage difference on a bigger fuel consumption will make a bigger difference than the same percentage on a smaller one.
Quite simple but if you don't "get" the numbers then as said I don't think switching units will help much. And if US citizens switched to gallons per 10 mile or something such they would just be like "wtf? What's that in MPG?", and if you switched to km instead of miles and liter instead of gallons you would just always think "150 km left? That's.. uhm.. slightly less than 10 miles then.." and "I wonder how many liter this tank holds?"
10 mpg = 23.5214583 liter / (100 km) 20 mpg = 11.7607292 liter / (100 km) 33 mpg = 7.12771465 liter / (100 km) 50 mpg = 4.70429167 liter / (100 km)
"Which saves more gasoline, going from 10 to 20 mpg, or going from 33 to 50 mpg?"
As I saw it: 50/33 = 51% = go 51% longer on the same amount of fuel. 7.1/4.7 = 51% = use 51% more fuel for the same amount of distance.
Obviously it would had been 100% on the other case, so regardless of the units used if you can't understand that then you're screwed anyway.
But I realized later that maybe he/she only cared about absolute numbers, and in that case yeah, thinking you get "17 miles longer!" vs "10 miles longer!" sound like a bigger saving whereas consuming 2.3 vs 11.8 liter less fuel / 100 km gives another story.
I don't know what answer he would had wanted but in percents switching from 10 mpg to 20 mpg would have had a bigger impact and saving 11.8 liter / 100 km definitely would over 2.3.
Anyway if you don't get the math / idea of what is measured I think you're screwed anyhow.
Over here in Sweden we used to write it in "liter/mil" where one swedish mil = 10 km. So I always find the liter / 100 km kinda disturbing and have to recalculate it in my brain anyway:D. Since even if all road signs and such says "Linköping 56 km" we/I still like to think about it as "ok, 5 mil left":D Also 5*0.8 = 4 liter of gasoline makes for much easier calculation than 0.56*8 (which is more likely to be what you think than 0.5*8 which yeah, wouldn't be much harder, but still weird since it's actually 56/100*8. Liter/cl/ml per km would be just as easy though.)
I'm a troll because I don't trust the manufacturers benchmarks to give me an objective conclusion on what is the better product?
Or because I don't think a gaming benchmark solely based on FPS to claim a G4 computer plays games better than a P4 one when they use different video cards is very useful?
ALL of the benchmarks used to show that safari is faster were written by apple.
Oh, thanks, I didn't knew.
Take their results with a grain of salt the size of texas.
That however I already did. Been looking at enough of those Apple-new-product-page-with-benchmark to notice that they aren't reliable or usable at all.
(Of course) they always only show the benchmarks which will show them the biggest advantage so you won't get an objective comparison (which render them useless), but in some cases it's been even worse. Like for instance than they claimed some old mac (G4?) was better for gaming than a computer from Dell (P4?)! How? Picking a Dell with an even lower-end graphics card (which imho even makes it a lie) than their mac had of course! Atleast compare the best vs the best, the same price vs the same price, or the same hardware against the same hardware but with different software solutions.
Oh, and please don't call it "3.5" retina display with 960x480 resolution", call it: "Retina display: >300 DPI 3.5" IPS-panel with 960x480 resolution."

Yeah, maybe it helps increase the color space towards yellow. For usage like these:

iBrowse web page:

Same with binary files; that's what I just said.
Yeah, which was the point.
Whatever.
If they do they are clearly retarded.

With the c source code file your messages within the program may still end up looking different depending on the charset used since the same value/binary number may mean something totally different.
With MPG however, it's the other way around - you save more petrol by going from 10mpg to 20mpg.
Which is fucking obvious if instead of calculating 20-10 and 50-33 you see 20 as 100% more than 10 and 50 as 50% more than 33.
If you don't get what you read you're screwed no matter what units is used.

Why not write it as a gas consumption ratio against the T Ford?
In Arabic countries they use wheel spins / barrel.
Around 7-8 would be normal, 5-6 would be good. 10-11 would be Saabish, > 12 would be German sports car or American SUV ;D
10 mpg = 23.5214583 liter / (100 km)
20 mpg = 11.7607292 liter / (100 km)
33 mpg = 7.12771465 liter / (100 km)
50 mpg = 4.70429167 liter / (100 km)
"Which saves more gasoline, going from 10 to 20 mpg, or going from 33 to 50 mpg?"
As I saw it:
50/33 = 51% = go 51% longer on the same amount of fuel.
7.1/4.7 = 51% = use 51% more fuel for the same amount of distance.
Obviously it would had been 100% on the other case, so regardless of the units used if you can't understand that then you're screwed anyway.

Also 5*0.8 = 4 liter of gasoline makes for much easier calculation than 0.56*8 (which is more likely to be what you think than 0.5*8 which yeah, wouldn't be much harder, but still weird since it's actually 56/100*8. Liter/cl/ml per km would be just as easy though.)
