I'd love to take amtrack instead of fly, but they have bad routes, at bad times, with rumored mystery delays because of some sort of cargo train deciding to take a break....
hmm, since the new kernel dev model(2.5.x basically) I've been running vanilla kernels, or at least distros that do not require the huge custom patch sets... ahh the good old days of redhat 7.2, and suse 6....
This is my gentoo ex-desktop/now server install from 2 years ago, there is a/home and a/Storage on separate drives as well. 30GB of / is/usr/portage/distfiles/ and/usr/src/ is 10GB that still leaves 40GB of stuff just for the OS. I should probably track that all down and fix it...
Hmm? I own all my wedding photos, and have the document to prove it. Now I did end paying 2-3 times what i could have, but I really wanted the copyright assignment. Of course in the contract was the ability for the photo place to use them in advertising and promotional material, and I would hardly ever deny a photographer rights to use it in a portfolio, and if I did I know I pay very well for it.
well the electric blanket sure, but not about the monitors. Why would i move to something other than HDMI or DVI if it won't let me get down to a single power cord? What does thunderbolt provide as a display connector that hdmi 1.4 doesn't? Also, no real benefit over Gb Ethernet for my laptop without allowing me to charge it at the same time.
It would seem that a 22" LED back lit TN lcd uses about the 15-20W mark from the wall on 120V/60hz power. Is it really too much to ask for ~40-80W of power? As for the surge, you must be forgetting that a modern desktop has ~300W of stuff in it, that all comes on at 100% briefly when you start up.
One solution for providing more power over the same sized conductor would be to move up to say 24 volts. Anyways, find a situation where i would need piles of bandwidth that would not benafit from having some(~40W for the network), would not be useful. I would love to be able to get home, and plug my laptop into one cord, and get my dual monitors, mouse, keyboard, external HDD, ethernet, and power all at once.
I can not post a video to youtube expressing my like or dislike of a few short clips of a moive/song....
I can get hassled by the "owners" of a large metal object in the middle of a public park (the bean in chicago), for taking pictures of it, to share with those that are unable to visit the free park.
Suppose that you have an idea for a new way to produce energy that you worked really hard all your life on. Wouldn't you like to be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor?
Make a working prototype, and patent it. This has nothing to do with copyright at all. Also no patents on ideas, methods, or other non physical goods.
illegally enjoying digital goods is no different than stealing? in both cases, someone is derived from something. When you steal something, the owner is deprived of the item, when you pirate something, the owner is deprived of the value of the pirated item.
But the stream of 1s and 0s does not it's self have value. It can be recreated at any time for marginal cost(you could argue that if I did download it from a server of the artist, that I should be responsible for the bill for the bandwidth used to do that. That would be fair, so here is the $0.002 that I owe for the 2MB song. I would be unable to otherwise aquire the "thing" how did I do any harm? In fact i may end up helping if i like it and share it with many friends, and some of them have the means/will to buy it, but would not have otherwise known about it. There are a great many music artists making a decent living while giving all their songs for free on the internet in high quality.
Now I would not say that there is not a place for copyright, patents, trademarks, "freedom of expression", and whatnot, but there needs to be some balance there. 140 years (unless assigned to a company that lives for 400) is a bit extreme, why should you make money all your life, and for the entire lives of your children just because you thought something. I think lots of things at work everyday (Custom HVAC equipment), but yet the company only gets paid when the gear is sold to the customer. Maybe we should try leasing out or gear with terms like,
"A fee of no less than the value of 1oz of gold on ${DATE} shall be paid for every person hour that this equipment provides service. If this is a process application, the fee shall be the value of.25oz of gold on ${DATE} per hour of service. If this is a datacenter application, the fee shall be the value of 2oz gold on ${DATE}, per server per hour of service. All fees shall be provided at the first of the month, and shall be no less than 60 hours of service per month for 140 years from date of purchase or final comisioning which ever is later, and shall start on date of shipment to authorized agent."
If we tried that we would be laughed out of the market.
You do know why no restaurants sing "happy birthday" don't you? right because it is under copyright and they would need to pay up to sing it.
right but we need to start somewhere... I would agree, with the ubuntu statement, which is why I'm not sure i would use one. It feels like very quickly i would run into wanting to do something but couldn't because my hands were tied (no pre-up hook for networking devices for example). At which point i would have to go buy a "real" microcontroler....
Now can i provide a PWM signal to a 4 pin 12Vdc computer fan with an arduino? because it is looking like a 555 timer won't make the high frequencies(24khz i think) that the PWM fans need.
can we do both at the same time, allowing those highschool kids to play with our stuff, go to school, and then come out knowing our stuff really well? Lets discuss at the next meeting.
Right but Ethernet doesn't have the bandwidth for dual(if not quad) 4k2k monitors, PCM 7.2 audio, gigabit ethernet, and disk IO all at the same time....
Think hooking your phone up to your desktop, and asking it to play a movie, while downloading updates, and syncing your music collection. all with one cable, ranted in this example the PC would provide the power to the monitors, but fairly close. What it should have is a way to negotiate the highest/best powersource on the "network" and use that. PC plugged into the wall with a 1000W psu for example.
why didn't they do the power over it now? And i'm not taking "power a desk fan" I'm talking power my dual 30" monitors, recharge my phone, and run an electric blanket at the same time using one port sort of power.
Other than that I like the idea, and it would be nice to have, but when do you think it will get to mini-itx AM3+ motherboards? right, just about never.
The problem with esata is when is the last time you saw a powered esata port and a device that could use it?
Now if only thunderbolt would let me really get down to a single cable to my monitor power, audio, video, everything. As well as be small enough to charge my phone and send data back and forth while chaining it to my tv so my phone can play a video i shot on my tv....
but if the guy across from you is going and you are both going straight you may move out of turn. Ideally you get as many cars though per "round" as possible.
How about instead of ESC we just make small, low CG, stable cars with functioning suspensions? ohh right then the cadilac extrastupid wouldn't be able to be sold.
Ads would be less of an annoyance if they fit better and were NOT FUCKING SHOUTING AT ME!(sry as someone above pointed out better to use bold)not fucking shouting at me! Anyways, just got cable(mainly for hbo and showtime) and it is very annoying after 2 years of only having netflix. Also the cable box causes my TV to restart randomly, as well as sometimes to think that it should go into "dim screen low power mode".
I would watch netflix with ads, but i would expect my bill to be lower.
A bad shutdown due to power loss, hardware starting to fail, a misbehaving process that writes directly to the part of the disk that the registry is in. Really the issue is that on windows the registry is either good, or bad. There is no "mostly" good.
what about a 19" with 2560x2048"? also Font size is defined in inches, not in pixels.12pt font should be the same size on every fscking screen on the fscking planet.
Slashdot Mirror
sad but true, and to think i would prefer flash....
I'd love to take amtrack instead of fly, but they have bad routes, at bad times, with rumored mystery delays because of some sort of cargo train deciding to take a break....
If they could fix those things, I'd be using it.
I get decent battery life with my phone.... spends 8-9 hours a day steaming slacker radio over wifi, and when i leave I'm still at around 40%.
HTC Glacier/T-Mobile myTouch 4g.
so all you have to do then is send it a small amount of IR with a small IR LED from behind the cover.

and thanks to adblock+ there are few ads on the intertubes.

right, wake me up when it is on AMD mini-itx...

The best solution for the "smart" windows, is to plug in the second monitor... Yes i know not at all helpful, but only thing i have found.
