Even better was copying those 5 1/4 disks that were "DRM'd" with laser burns, etc, or haciking the EXE files to return 1 for all input when they did that silly you could barely read the icon on page x thing. Especially if said pages had gotten wet from, say, a soda spill....
The whole messing around with IRQs etc was only to get the hardware running for me, generally there was a best sequence for setting up your hardware IRQs, and if you followed that setup, you generally only had software environment configs to deal with. I wound up with a single base boot disk that cleared almost 600K RAM of memory, and would play virtually every game. Boot the disk, run the game off the hard disk. All on a fancy schmancy 286....
Wing Commander was fun, because I ran that on a 10K machine (yeah, work box:) so resources weren't a problem on that one.
I still have the originals in a box in the closet. LucasArts did box sets in the 90s, I bought 2 and 3, never saw what was in the first one. They include just about every title listed in TFA. I may have to start up a VM just to see them, or see about moving them to SCUMM. That would be an interesting little weekend project.
If any of my clients using Struts 1 are going to drop it, they won't be going to Struts 2. None have in the past either, and Struts 2 isn't even mentioned in the current group.
Struts 2 is far worse. I've personally not seen it adopted anywhere. If the choice is to move away from Struts 1, it will generally be to SpringMVC or something similar, or that general horror known as JSF. Struts 2 was so bad, it doesn't even get a second look from anyone I know. Even Tapestry was better.
That aside, nice troll. Guess you run with that rock solid Ruby, or maybe that super efficient and secure PHP?
This is probably the crux of their complaint - they can't intercept the messages without going through proper procedures, getting a warrant, and leaving a paper trail. This is precisely how things should work.
I was aware of solutions like yours. In fact, there recently was a blog post about how easy it was to build your own HDCP adapter. Both of those are beyond the means of the normal person.
What I was talking about was the plethora of programs such as SlySoft's AnyDVD, DVDFab's HDDVDDecrypter, MakeMKV, and the host of other Windows based solutions that will all handle the DRM at the source, and give you a pixel perfect, or darn close copy. BD+, being processed the way it is, means that you can never be 100% sure without going through a lot of extra effort to get a true pixel perfect copy, probably via the means you described. I understand those are now click to install, click to rip (Not having windows...). No need for fancy capturing hardware. OTA is not encrypted at all, and gives you a nice 1080i stream via tuners like SiliconDust's HDHomeRun, which also is almost a single click install for tuner software.
Amazingly enough, Windows seems to be the prime hackery for video of all sorts, despite have these signed system components. Probably something to do with security....
It doesn't matter whether they are practical today. The point was that the milestone had been achieved. Controlled fusion will be another milestone. Will it be practical? Probably not when first achieved. Same with matter/anti-matter energy sources. (Might as well go out on a limb)
And those that say the possible will never happen, we present: invitro fertilization, cloning, DNA injection, quantum computers, almost successful attempts to bring back extinct species, etc. We are only at the beginning of a truly great leap in science, as long as we don't kill ourselves achieving it nor have those too scared of science do us all in.
What you overlook is that this process uses biomass (ie, waste plant matter) to produce H2 in a process with 100% energy gain (the energy out is more than the energy in) not to mention that the energy put in could be waste heat, resulting in essentially free H2. H2 can be used in portable capacities, such as cars. Solar cannot fulfill these particular needs, although it could be used to create H2, at a much lower level of efficiency.
Yeah, if there were only a better site out there. REDDIT is not it, and anything like FB, Twitter, or Google anything is not going to suffice for a variety of reasons. Yes, I too bemoan the lower quality posting here, sometimes there are interesting nuggets. For myself, visits are sporadic at best, nonexistent at worst (from the site's perspective)
Could be worse. These "best and brightest" could have been elected and run amok. Oh, wait, that was 2008.;)
No seriously though, one man's "bring the government to its knees" is another's "bring spending back in line with sane levels more similar to (population-adjusted) 2007 levels instead of keeping it at 50% above that forever with all the implications that will have on our debt and/or tax levels and economic growth". I suppose it must be nice to be able dismiss all your political opponents with caricatures of their views, though I'm idly wondering whether making that decision instead of going for intellectual honesty is itself consistent with the brain scan differences reported in this article:)
Interestring then that the numbers are far higher than you state, and are directly enacted by those voted out in 2008 (They took office in 2009, and inherited the mess those leaving in 2008 and before left behind)
Now, is it fair to say that the new crop hasn't done enough to rein in spending? Yes, probably. What's one of the major "debt" causes though? That whole prescription medicare law, passed in 2003 by the GOP listed as bigger debt (deficit) driver than even ObamaCare?.
So, let's start lowering our deficit, start with the unfunded Medicare plan. Once you remove that, we can start on other problem areas. Oh, you'll have to increase taxes too, to at least 2000 levels (pre-bubble) just to even the playing field. I just would like to be there when you tell your elders.
I can honestly say at this point, I couldn't tell the difference between either of those either at 20kHz and a flat wave, because I can't hear 20kHz, and neither can more than 80% of the human race.
I don't know about that - there's a difference between 128mbs and lossless that I can tell on some music even in my car going down the freeway. Granted, not all music is inherently made unlistenable by compression, but some definitely is. Breakfast at Tiffany's can probably be listened to fine at 64mbs, while something more rich, say Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture will have noticeable artifacts or drops. (Yes, extremes, but I do know some other modern music doesn't compress well at even 320mbs with lame)
"Tiny sliver"? 4M Macs vs 17M iPad vs 26M iPhones Q3 2012 because it was the first result that showed numbers. It's in the same order of magnitude in numbers, and in dollars, you'll note that iPhone/iPad numbers include related services, while the Mac ones do not and it's still 20% of the pie. If that's your definition of a "tiny sliver", then I'm sure you don't mind sending me $5B a quarter. My wallet will appreciate it.
Apple's devices are locked down? Compared to what? I can install anything I want on a macbook, for instance, so that entire line is out. As for iPhones / iPads you can install other stuff, most people just choose not too, as the real value in both of those devices is access to Apple's marketplace.
The real answer is GAT (no, not a VAT). Solves all the problems, and it could possibly answer the issue of income tax for the 98% and corporations dodging income taxes.
Which all makes more people go "WTF?" and then promptly figure out how to unDRM their entire collection, completely upending the "desired" process flow and, in the process, creating an entire sub-culture that pretty much says up yours to the copyright holders.
The kernel is a general purpose manager. Was the error really in the kernel? Without a detailed analysis, saying that it's a kernel flaw, but requiring a configuration that's considered an error is more than a little disingenuous. I think the video processing error was just a vector for the attack, I'd be willing to bet that there are other vectors available as well.
Bill Gates was rich in college, and became richer out of school, because he never had to work. He was never really smart. Everything that didn't involve cunning he was a failure at. Even his philanthropy reeks of self-inrichment of a cunning sort, more than anything else. He believes in giving a man a fish. Then charging him 10x for that fish the next time around. Check his history.

They're just talking about energy in vs energy out.
Otherwise, you might want to report those 18 SEER AC units too.
Solar panels are now close to 40%.
What you overlook is that this process uses biomass (ie, waste plant matter) to produce H2 in a process with 100% energy gain (the energy out is more than the energy in) not to mention that the energy put in could be waste heat, resulting in essentially free H2.

Or print your own.....
But that would destroy the business model of /., click through ad views.
My entire collection easily fits on a single disk. You'd have to have a very large collection to need a second disk with today's disk sizes.
I can honestly say at this point, I couldn't tell the difference between either of those either at 20kHz and a flat wave, because I can't hear 20kHz, and neither can more than 80% of the human race.

Honestly, those are the rich people's kids. They can be used as shining symbols of what happens when unearned wealth gets passed down.
Bill Gates was rich in college, and became richer out of school, because he never had to work. He was never really smart. Everything that didn't involve cunning he was a failure at.

Bill Gates - Rich parents, trust fund with a yearly payout that in itself was extreme wealth in the 70s...... Hmmmm, I think you missed a point there.
