It hasn't had a disk in it for at least 6 months, probably closer to a year. I learned long ago to stop that noisy bastard, though they've fixed that problem in a firmware update so it doesn't keep the disk spun up when connected to WMCE. I'm talking about fan noise.
I'm not sure what Rev mine is, its been RRoD repaired. I generally hear it pretty well unless the television is turned up loud enough that no one in the house can sleep.
So since I have a disk in the drive pretty much never, whats your next reason?
You do realize that as a cable operating you can put the 'channel' on any frequence you want... RIGHT?
All you have to do is send the right PSIP data so the channel number users get is the right number, the frequency you send it on is irrelevant as long as you get the PSIP data right. Once done, autoscanning will pick up your broadcast and label it properly.
How do I know this? Because thats how Time Warner cable does it here. Except they conveniently remap single channels right before major sporting events, which means I regularly have a DVR that picks up some other retarded instance of NOVA rather than the sporting event I wanted to watch.
I'm going to have to agree with the FCC on this one, especially since... they did remap, its not the same frequencies, as you pointed out.
Why exactly would you be doing real processing on a virtual machine?
If you need real processing power you don't put it on a VM, thats just dumb and wasteful.
Virtual machines are for testing and silly little one off instances of something that some department 'needed' on a 'server' that gets used by 3 people, twice a year, and thats only until next month when they've forgot about it completely.
Please explain why it can't propogate through a router.
Theres nothing that stops you from embedding the WOL magic data in an IP packet... I know, thats how I use WOL to wake up office PCs from my house.
I assure you, it can route just fine, your routers just need to know the mac address for the IP already so they don't stop the packet waiting on an ARP response.
...another tedious chestnut that appears like clockwork whenever a company gets criticism for sales practices or goods people don't like.
You get those chestnuts because we're tired of retards like yourself and the GP whining about it.
You know the drill.
Its not new, its certainly not new for Apple. They haven't changed. They aren't getting any worse. They aren't the only ones that do this sort of thing, its pretty common even if you're too busy railing against the machine to know how often you buy into this same thing.
We're just tired of seeing you idiots rant on about the same thing over and over again as if its something different and that Apple is just the scum of the Earth for doing it.
As soon as you stop making retarded statements about how evil the company is everytime the do something that makes them money because you disagree with it, then the rest of us will stop saying...
Same risk faced by every iOS dev, every XBox dev, every Wii Dev, every PS3 dev... pretty much every dev of every relatively or completely closed system on the planet.
Somehow it still seems to bring new people in and make lots of money for the people that do it.
Thats because you're doing it on a device/OS that doesn't have 'PDF built in' as dumb as that sounds.
Before I bought a Mac I fucking hated PDFs... still do actually, but I only notice if I look at the file extension or... I'm not using my Mac.
Somehow, the way PDF just fits in with the feel of everything else just doesn't bother me on my Mac. On Windows it sticks out like a sore thumb. In OS X is appears as though its just another document. I realize that I'm talking about a desktop here, not an e-reader setup, but using PDFs is something Apple has done before and its part of the iOS as well so I have a sneaking suspecion that they'll make it feel usable as a book format.
Personally, I just want HTML as my universal document format with SVGs for images where possible, but thats just a personal opinion with no particularly overwhelming reason why everyone else should support it.
HE (and wikileaks) made a statement, about their agenda and motivations.
Those who died were just used as part of his agenda.
If your idea of 'your last statement' is someone taking a video of you and showing it on the Internet then how do you think you're going to like for your last statement to be a video of you sitting in some bed, unable to use the restroom and laying in your own shit because you couldn't make it to the restroom while some nurse comes in to clean you up? I'll make sure to post it without your consent after you die if theres any chance I can get my hands on it.
And you know nothing about using plaintext and ciphertext analyses to obtain keys apparently.
There are entire fields of study into using the combination of the two to figure out keys. Its one of the reasons to use all the post processing methods to make it more different, such as cipher block chaining and all the others. Its the reason that unix CRYPT passwords have a salt.
And yes, AES, like every known encryption method, gets easier to decrypt based on the more information you have about the process. That doesn't make it easy, but it does make it easier.
You fail basic elementary school and high school understanding of your own government.
The good news is, it is a representational democracy which means that ignorant fucks who don't know what they are talking about such as yourself aren't the ones in charge.
The ones in charge actually DO have SOME sort of idea about how to govern people, the only problem is... going back to the stupidest of you and yours, we end up electing people who govern us into slavery rather than helping us.
The first step in fixing our government is for you to get a fucking clue about how it works rather than comparing it to completely unrelated forms of government, which you also probably don't know shit about other than what you've been spoon fed by whichever political warcry you're backing this week.
Did you bother to point out that there were children in a van that was being loaded with a wounded journalist that got blasted to hell?
Yea, it was pointed out in the video... even though you can't actually tell and the only way you would know is from opening up the van after the fact and seeing children in it.
Leaking a video which clearly shows it was an accident and that only after the fact did it become clear it was a mistake?
I'm sorry, maybe you can somehow get something more out of the video than I can... but I don't see a pilot and gunner talking about shooting some cameramen on the street.
I see a pilot and gunner killing suspected insurgents before the men they support walk into the neighborhood and get shot. I see some news correspondents who got seperated from their other group of journalists because, as stated in the video 'of chaos in the area'. I see a group of people that drove, knowingly, into an area with active fighting getting accidently shot.
That does not make their deaths any less tragic.
It does however make the whole 'collateral murder' name obviously nothing more than a ploy for attention that you and a bunch of other bumbling idiots picked up on and ran with as if it were an intentional action.
If you think this was an intentional attack on journalists than you must have some sort of ESP or something that allows you to know this cause there is nothing factual in the video that wasn't added in editing afterwords to indicate it was intentional murder of civilians... WHO DROVE THEMSELVES INTO AN ACTIVE WAR ZONE. ACTIVE. ACTIVE. Did you see it that time.
ACTIVE
How about now?
I question shooting the van that came to pick up wounded, but I personally don't see what the problem is with making sure those people never return to kill someone else (under the original assumption that they were 'bad guys'). You certainly stop anyone who comes in to grab weapons that isn't on your side, thats just common sense. I'm not arguing it from a legal perspective, simply my own opinion.
The original attack seems rather legit to me without knowledge gained after the fact. Yes, the knowledge after the fact makes me say they shouldn't have shot. I also know they shouldn't have ran the Chernobyl test, that Three mile island used a shitty nuclear reactor design, and that BP wasn't prepared to deal with aftermath of a blown well. And in ALL of those cases, had they known before hand what was going to happen, it wouldn't have happened the way it did. Thats called hindsight and its not really fair to judge one based on hindsight.
The military has provisions for dealing with problems such as these. While they do have to do what they are told, they also have ways to always do 'what is right', legally, right down to disobeying an order.
Thats not what happened here.
Did he give the video to reuters? No, he gave it to wikileaks, which is well known for being 'shady' at best. If you think Wikileaks is a credible organization, you're an idiot. If the first thing that comes to your mind is ever 'send it to wikileaks' you are an idiot and deserve the result.
Wikileaks isn't about journalism or doing the right thing its about getting attention at someone elses expense, period.
Reuters... lacked a connection to a 'congresscritter' that had clearance?
Seriously... they don't have any friends in high places... NONE?
What are you smoking? We all know that simply isn't the case. Its more like they did have friends, they asked, their friend looked and said 'it was an accident, let it go'.
If I get into a car accident, I can't claim it was a malfunction of the driver and walk away. I'm still responsible.
If I shoot someone, I can't claim it was a brain malfunction and walk away, even if it was. I'm still responsible, I maybe given some leeway, but I'll end up being punished.
Why is it that if I put an 'not responsible for accidents' sticker on my car, that I'm still responsible, yet they can say 'not responsible for malfunctions' and not pay, but still collect when there is a malfunction?
Why is it that a 'software glitch' in their favor means I lose, and a software glitch in my favor... means I lose?
A win shown on the machine is a win, regardless of bug, and they have to pay out.
Why? Because the bugs go both ways, sometimes they are in favor or the casino, sometimes they are in favor of the player. I mean real bugs, not cheating casinos.
I certainly could be wrong, but it was always my understanding that in most gambling states they have to pay what the machine says they have to pay unless the PLAYER cheated by doing something like holding a magnet (not that it would work) up at the right time.
I know for a fact that most gambling states have laws that require the payout odds to be known and fixed, not adjustable on the fly. I.E. Slot machines have to pay X percentage of their winnings back out over a specific period of time and that the odds are posted for everyone to see.
Either way, I've yet to gamble and not come out ahead, but thats mostly because I play nickel slots and make sure I drink more than I spend, though I have actually came out with more money than I've lost so far, my plan is only to drink more than I spend. Take in one $100 bill and leave when you are completely sloshed or broke AND completely sloshed:) And remember to tip the waitresses/bartenders a little each and every drink so they don't water them down:)
Well, it looks incompatible to me, but as you pointed out, its on their page of compatible licenses so it'd be really hard to go after anyone for doing so.
For your case, its WiFi location not IP. IP gets you to within a 'region' generally. Where region is an arbitrary sized area defined by how much effort was put into SWIPping your IP address range.
For most cable modem subscribers in a large city, the IP range will get you to within the range of the city.
In my case, it gets you to within range of two states as thats as far as TWC goes at this point with my current IP block.
IP based location is only as good as the admins and systems that manage the address space unless augmented by extra information and research.
Combining IP, SSID and MAC information allows them to quickly and relatively easily see if the IP and SSID/MAC combo are still relatively accurate. If you move across town and stay on the same service provider, they will probably still accept your information SSID/MAC as being at the same location.
If you switch providers or move a larger difference (say East coast to West coast) they can rather quickly realize your SSID/MAC's previous location is no longer right and throw it out until they can figure out the new location of your SSID/MAC, which for instance can be done on an iPhone when it senses that the cell tower your connected to when you connect to the same SSID/MAC is now in a location far enough away to not just be due to a tower being down or something like that.
Basically, there are lots of algorithms and ways to determine where you are based on various radio signals. WiFi helps make the cellular and IP location information more accurate.
Throw an android or iPhoneOS device connected to a cell tower, with GPS enabled and use Google Maps and you're providing them with really good information about where are particular IP or WiFi SSID/MAC combo are. If the SSID/MAC moves, it will certainly be off until someone comes along and picks up the signals while using Google Maps so they can update it.
I'm sure they use more than one device and some weighting in order to prevent spoofing of data from screwing up their location info, but its all just an educated guess really anyway.
I really don't have a problem with it. I also understand that when I'm in public, I'm IN PUBLIC VIEW.
Its really not hard unless you're an idiot.
If you don't want people to know you're doing something, do it in the privacy of your own home. Don't get pissed off when someone sees you do something in a public place.
The fact that the BSD license requires you to include attribution kind of makes it incompatible with GPL since that is an 'additional restriction' which GPL forbids.

I use my XBox for Windows Media Center.
It hasn't had a disk in it for at least 6 months, probably closer to a year. I learned long ago to stop that noisy bastard, though they've fixed that problem in a firmware update so it doesn't keep the disk spun up when connected to WMCE. I'm talking about fan noise.

Virtualization of the x86 existed before Intel added special support for it.
