What part of you thinks a company with half a clue is going to 'open up' their special magic so that companies like Huawei can rape them in the process?
NO smartphone maker gives enough of a shit about Ubuntu for them to have ANY chance at ALL of opening the baseband.
You guys live in a really silly fantasy world where people seem to hurt themselves to benefit you, that doesn't actually happen and you have provided absolutely no reason they should actually open the baseband. You're a statistically insignificant group of people demanding something silly that no one else on the planet gives a shit about because you think no one else's way is possibly acceptable, you're way or the high way...
Theres no compelling reason for any one to open their baseband.
Demanding OSS firmware is fucking silly anyway, the chips aren't open, you can't actually see whats going on in them and you never will because again, theres NO REASON to compel them to do so.
Your monitor/display... not OSS. Your computer hardware... not OSS pretty much the only OSS in your life is the tiny little bit you run on your desktop, which is itself in no way what so ever open...
You guys pick some random silly shit to rant about and miss far bigger issues. It really makes you look silly and unaware of what you're talking about when you rant on about OSS baseband on a proprietary chip.
Nice, you just compared a single process on one OS to the entire OS and its subprocesses of another. Totally fair.
How about you compare X to the Win32 Desktop Window Manager instead? Which is a lot closer, though still not exact since Windows has this mentality that GUI in the kernel is a good idea.
My point however is that your comparison is not really a comparison.
Can someone explain to me why a reactor can overheat and meltdown like in Japan... but not have the energy to spin the turbines to power cooling?
How can it get so hot that it boils the water way even under ridiculous pressures... but that heat can't be used to power turbines?
Am I to believe that reactors actually generate more power when shutdown than when powered up?
I just can't fathom why a plant can SCRAM and then overheat... but be unable to cool itself. Someones design is WAY fucked up me thinks. Its generating too much steam... USE IT...
We keep creating all this waste that we have no way to actually dispose of.
Really? What waste is that? We can do all sorts of stuff to the waste we have to make it orders of magnitude safer... AND get energy out of it in the process.
But wackos freak out because OMFG SOMETHING MIGHT GO WRONG... even when we put it in someplace that if something does go wrong... its okay... like this particular incident.
There really isn't that much we can't reprocess, reuse and repeat until its not nearly as dangerous or there is a lot less of it.
And lets not be retarded, this stuff came out of the ground in the first place. Putting it back isn't going to be what kills us all.
I can do that with the cluster I have in my bedroom closet at home. (You haven't described anything really, so saying I can do it is trivial). Right now its got ~45 Windows XP machines running test suites on code, and some FreeBSD machines managing it along with a few OSX boxes for testing. So I doubt you've got much more load than I do.
A cloud provider gives you... exactly same thing that data centers have been giving you for the last 30 years, except you can do it remotely. Its is great for what you are using it for if you don't mind paying extra.
Why do you think 'cloud' makes it magically different? Because you feel impressive that you pay almost as much if not more for a virtual machine than you used to pay for real physical machines? I don't find that impressive.
So you pay roughly 200 times more than I do for what appears to be roughly twice the number of VMs. (I'm assuming that the '100 of us' all use their own individual VM for demos). If you can't do better price wise, you need to fire your IT department. Unless these boxes use a fuckton of bandwidth, I wouldn't brag about your pricing. You're basically talking about paying $2000USD/year for a machine, which is roughly $166/month. Thats an decent windows server VM ANYWHERE.
I know I'm making very bold statements without knowing your real environment, but the way you've stated it, you have nothing special that would justify the ridiculous price unless you've got a 100 VMs with 64GB of ram in each of 3 or 4 data centers, which you clearly don't.
Cloud is a great solution for us - data loss, hacking, snooping etc are not issues because these are customer facing demo machines, and we download what we want.
Wow... just WOW... Do yourself a favor, do not EVER make that statement in front of a customer. You're proud of the fact that you don't give a shit about data theft? Dude, thats not something to ever brag about, I don't care if your job is to give out open source software, getting hacked still shows your incompetence, not caring about it, triply so.
Anyway, what does that have to do with any of this? Cisco is making wildly outlandish claims that are flat out never going to happen. Anyone who doesn't realize its not going to happen is utterly ignorant of the subject matter and shouldn't be part of the discussion unless they happen to be asking to be educated on the discussion.
You remind me of my former boss who described EDI translation software as 'a black box that you can put anything you want into and get it out in any language you want automatically' which sounds cool as shit.
Until you find out what he meant was... they have this software that will take input, let you run transforms on it that you have to make yourself by reverse engineering the input data... yourself... and then output the transform... Now... you have to write the transform... so you have to actually know how to do the translation and all the software really is a crappy custom language that is hamstrung by only working with a narrow set of inputs and outputs...
It didn't translate shit on its own until you wrote the software to do the translation...
Ciscos hypervisors won't work magically together with your own custom internal software just because they said so... someone will still be writing the code to hook it all together... just like every other cloud or co-lo or VPS on the planet.
This article is nothing more than a retarded Cisco advertisement about some fantasy marketing gimmick that is in way true.
And you believe it. VMs are great for many things, but don't come in here bragging about how awesome it is to use them when it looks like you're getting ripped off and putting your com
While I can appreciate you have an opinion, acting like KDE is that great kind of ruins any credit you might have had.
KDE is only impressive when you compare it to the other crap in its class. You're comparing it to Gnome, not Aqua or the Win32 API, sure its impressive compared to Gnome, what isn't?
Here we go again. I thought this ended when I was a kid and that when my father and his generation passed away, that WWII would finally be over as though he was a good man, the death of that generation means the end of suffering for all those who not only fought in the war... but had to come home and live with what they had done. Fighting a war, even for 'the good guys and reasons' still means you have to do things that no civilized man should be able to do in a healthy frame of mind, and none of them come up the same as they left. The winners are still losers.
Alas it looks like Russia doesn't want it to be over and wants to rekindle its 'former glory'.
Is my son now going to have to suffer the life of a soldier like my father because of some assholes half way around the planet can't just fucking leave well enough alone with his rich life of being a political prick?
I'm beginning to wonder if my father and his cold war hate weren't that unjustified.
Because they'd get walked over. They are nothing compared to the red army.
Some of the commanders on bases were publicly BEGGING the Ukrainian leadership to give them the order to leave, because until they got that order, they were going to stand their ground... and they knew what the result would be. They were more than willing to die for their country if that was what they were supposed to do, but not for a cause they weren't going to win.
I don't have to be a vegan or a hypocrite. I have absolutely no problem killing and eating another animal, farm raised or wild. Eating is a fact of life for all living things, of this I am certain.
Vegans are the biggest hypocrites on the planet. Its okay to kill plants, but not animals? WTF kind of species prejudice is that? Life is life. Plant is just as alive as an animal until you kill it.
I really fail to see how raising a field of corn to slaughter and eat is radically different than a herd of cattle... other than you'll be killing off a lot more individual lives in the corn field than the cattle field... and you eat the offspring of corn... not even the plant itself, destroying hundreds of future lives without even providing a full meal. Its WAY worse than eating eggs.
Note: Exception to hypocrisy for vegans who eat plants not because they like animals... but because they really hate plants! (I.E. Moby)
You don't live in the same world as the rest of us, but thanks for pretending you do.
I do know you're acting in a way that is completely different from reality. I know you're talking like the typical asshole who thinks he knows how 'hard' life can be and how people don't have to suffer and if they do its their fault...
I may not know your life story, but I know you do know you're talking out your ass.
Ok, point out some evidence of their existence. I have no problem with someone hunting to survive but there simply are not very many of those people out there in the USA. Fact is that most people who get significant amounts of the diet from hunting do so because they chose to, not because they have to.
Seriously? I gave you 5 states with documented poverty cases like I'm referring to. I could throw in TN and Kentucky, West Virginia as well. This is well documented and so much so that its encoded into laws in those states to protect people who must hunt to eat. You even mention TN... for fucks sake TN has laws specifically to help people who must hunt for food, some of them in an odd way created by the TVA!
Theres clearly no point in trying to convince you because you are just ignoring the real world or haven't seen it.
No, they have not tracked it there. Thats my point. They THINK it went there, and if you read the reports by the actual people writing them, not the edited new releases by the airlines... the only one who is 'sure' is the airline... who wants this to be over with, Immersat is even extremely cautious in their statements.
There are LOTS of things that can make these calculations wrong. They would be odd things to have happened, but you tell me how odd a plane randomly flying to the middle of the indian ocean for no readily apparent reason is in the first place... kind of odd, isn't it? A bad atomic clock (pretty much impossible to happen, but not 100% impossible) on the aircrafts device can completely fuck some of these calculations beyond usefulness. This is one of the reasons Immersat took so long to get just to this point.
I'm not saying the plane didn't go down there, I'm saying its still a theory, and nothing wrong with it so far, but its a THEORY, not fact. Only theory there is, so they go with it, so goes life. Doesn't magically make it any more true than when they were searching the south china sea though.... not until they get proof.
When they pull debris from the water that they can confirm came from the aircraft, then it gets a lot closer to fact.
In one particular path the doppler effect and time delay in the ping did not line up. Doppler says they're doing 450kts, but ping time says 350kts (based on distance calculated by difference in ping times between current and previous pings), which is caused by a different flight path. Preception of the doppler effect is different based on your angle in relation to the moving object. Perfectly parallel alignment would make doppler 'speed' calculations 100% accurate. Doing the same thing from perfectly perpendicular, and the speed will always be 0, regardless of actual object speed. Since they know some information about where it was, they know to some extent what flight path it had to take to get those ping times, and then then you throw out the ones where all the variables don't match up.
It didn't give them additional information on where it was per say, it helped them rule out possible solutions based on previous information. It told them where it wasn't.
We already know the level of detail Google gets with their own personal satellite from Google Earth, and its resolution is already lowered for security purposes before it hits Google maps/earth. Its plenty good enough that they could spot debris... just telling someone that they spotted debris in the ocean would not require actually giving up ANY information about capabilities as the capability to spot it is ALREADY PUBLIC... you know... those pictures of debris you've been seeing... they didn't come from super secret US sats... did they?
but various countries have been slow to tip their hands and show just how much the see and can track, lest they give away some very closely guarded secrets.
I would LIKE to think... that even the NSA would pick up the phone and say 'look, I can't tell you anything other than go to these coordinates: blah blah, we think you might want to see this' and nothing of value would be divulged. We already are aware of what Google has in the area for photos, which is plenty good enough to make a statement like that, so its not like it tells us how much better they see than something like Google Maps.
There are ways to deal with that situation. I'd like to think we'd use them.
CVRs on those aircraft are 2 hours, not 30 minutes.
What I want to know, is why my phone (the smallest model made) can hold 1100 hours of compressed audio... but these aircraft using NAND don't hold more than 2 hours of uncompressed audio (you don't want any quality sacrifices or artifacts from compression to screw up your analysis later) in a redundant array...
Someones going to tell me that for the 30-40k those black boxes cost... they can't put some actual storage space in the fucking things?
zero evidence? There were three people on the aircraft that know how to hide the aircraft like this... and ALL of them were sitting in the cockpit. If someone else on the aircraft knew how, no one has figured that out yet.
So instead of this being something done by one or two people, you'd much rather it be a systemic problem with aircraft that tens of thousands of people fly in everyday?
You'd much rather the press look bad... and other people be at risk of death as well?
Thats pretty fucking short sighted, don'tcha think?
uhm, unlikely, unless the plane pancaked/bellyflopped in with no forward velocity... which is pretty much impossible since it was flying and is an aerodynamically stable object (it wants to point the noise into the wind, even without a pilot).
Its more likely the last thing that went through his mind was his face or glass/instruments from the cockpit, but probably a lot of ocean too.
They have a theory, nothing more. Still no actual debris has been confirmed. They don't have the full picture so its REALLY easy for their theory to be wrong.
God you suck ass at actually posting facts slashdot.
No, not anywhere in the US, not anymore legal than hunting cars or motorcycles. You can't just go shooting up other peoples property.
However, it is also illegal for a drone to spy on you (watch without permission) and if they do that over your property, then it turns into self defense not hunting, and you can cock the hammer, its time for action.
And they allow it due to a population control problem. Unless you want black bear roaming your towns and hamlets... They have an abundance in that particular region.
"Food acquisition"? BULLSHIT. It's killing and terrorizing animals for fun. Nobody in the US needs to hunt to put food on the table. That argument is a load of crap.
I hate to inform you, and I'm tired of putting effort into fixing peoples ignorance today, but you really need to do some research, you could not possibly be more wrong. There are plenty of people in the nation for whom they can't buy food that was farm raised and slaughtered, and the government doesn't provide enough help for them to do anything other than hunt.
I've been there. I stood in line for the government cheese... and then was fucked when it ran out before the line got to me.
You have no idea what being poor is actually like, contrary to your fantasy world, the government is this perfect protector that solves all your problems. You live in a nice secluded little part of the world that has your head so far up your ass, you don't even have any idea how some people live.
Outside of DC and a few states in the north east/new england... I doubt there are very many states that don't have people who MUST HUNT TO EAT or die.
Go live in the swamps of LA, or the rural areas in Alaska, Georgia, Mississippi or Alabama.

Go live in the swamps of LA, or the rural areas in Alaska, Georgia, Mississippi or Alabama.
You have no idea what poor is.
