if it was sold as unlimited bits at 15mbps, then it really does have a limit as there is only so many seconds in a day. As for terabytes of data, i can get pretty close to that with some netflix and linux isos. Actully right now i'm pulling 4mbps down with just one instance of netflix SD.
and yet the step from logic to code is what trips people up. This is even in mechanical engineering where we can break a complex system down by a set of rules, but some can't handle a while loop.
could you kindly point me to where i could browse the app store on my linux based computer before buying the device? even better if it lets me "test" the apps, so that i know if any of the terminal emulators actully work right with curses, etc.
perhaps they should focus on marketing experiences and not just physical copies of things. Let the CD be advertising for the tour, or that "release" of a movie be a advert for the tee-shirt or the posh theater(you know the one with real tables/chairs and dinner at it. Not dinner at the snack counter, but table side service, in a faraday cage so that cell phones do not work. Or well just about anything other than the bitstream that is the movie. The problem with theaters is that for around $2000 i can get a entry level home theater in a box. Now with that I get no teens in the front row texting and giggling, I get to pause the movie to get a snack, go to the bathroom, get my kids something(they are 2 and 3), a nice comfy non sticky couch to snuggle with my wife on.
Now full price tickets to a 2d film are what? $8 per person? so that $16 for me and my wife not counting snacks or babysitting for the kids. 2000/16 = 125, so if it was just the two of us seeing movies we'd need to see 125 films before upgrading to break even. now add in $20 for food, and $20-40 for the babysitting... 2000/56 = ~36 hmm very quickly that number is going down fast. Thats just the money side of things, after all of the work of the babysitter, if some teen in the front decides that leaving their phone on "annoying music ring tone at the volume of GODs voice" is correct it really does cut into the experience. So does the sticky uncomfortable chairs.
So i pirate very little these days, and most of what I do is just not available locally or is very sub par coverage. F1, WRC, a few UK shows.
All of that should have been shared as widely as possible so that it wouldn't have been forgotten. As for "kept secret" thats usually Gov't stuff, and well I feel that as I "hired" them I should have access to that too, but am somewhat understanding of why some stuff needs to be secret now. I wish there was a "in 50 years this will be released" sort of clause.
really I wouldn't mind some extension for TCP/IP that allows "bonding" multiple connections into one for the purposes of handling that throttling. The way it is i keep looking for an easy way to do it just inside my house, so that bittorrent can use 100% of the remaining bandwidth, but hulu/netflix/WoW all still work fine. I can mostly get it to work by setting my outbound to about 1/3 of my total outbound and my inbound to 1/2 of my total inbound, but that will only work on one computer torrenting at a time.
actually thats easier than just playing a song at a school music class... I belive there is a fee that you can pay to a single body for rights to cover a song.
i agree with the lack of flash on the iPad, make it hard to watch hulu, the daily show, foamy the squirrel, etc. Also no flash games, I know apple wants me to only play the games it says are ok for me via the app store, but still.
animated SVG seems to be pretty close to flash, except that Adobe products only sorrta produce them. What i would like to see is a flv to svg converter, maybe FFmpeg can do it.
imo the only two things missing from KVM are, a nice setup a machine gui, and good networking support. by good networking support I mean a simple way to make a virtual private network so that I can test out a firewall/router/gateway sort of install, and then a few machines behind it, or test out PXE gateway with a few other PXE clients being hosted from a main server, with all the auth being done with pubkeys and LDAP. I don't have the spare machines around to play with getting it all working well enough for it to pass the wife test, so that I can they get the better hardware I want. Setting up a "fake" network with KVM is a pain, as of 6 months ago when i tried.
yes, if it's enough of a market for them, they will make sure that they get support from upstream, if enough companies ask for linux support for subassembly Y then maybe it will change. If you really feel you need to keep it closed, do like nvidia, or handle it yourself.
in kernel drivers should be an issue. The module ABI/API changes as needed, but this has already been hashed out. Opensource you diver and get it in the kernel and it will work across versions. want your's to live outside the kernel (nvidia) you maintain it.
Would you expect Apple to have to deliver current OS capabilities to to PowerPC based Macs; or should OS vendors be required to ensure each new OS release, that adds functionality or fixes bugs, is backwards compatible with all programs to not take away any originally provided functionality?
No but if they ad an update to the older version of the software that disables dualboot on the mac, or stops Adobe CSX from working they would be facing similar/more wrath. It would be one thing if sony stopped updating the software, and a third party started requiring a higher version of software to play a game, but this is removing a core feature PSN, and a feature advertised. yes i'm using advertised a bit loosely, they had instruction on their site for getting it set up.
looks like from TFA hat all they want the FDA to do is regulate these as drug delivery devices, like they do for inhalers, needles, insulin pumps, etc.
yes and no, afaik, all a fat binary is a double packed bin. a simple folder with both in it would work just as well. you would of course also have to staticly link on linux. even then it gets harder than that.

i know, but my ps3 reports ~4mbps total for the netflix standard def streaming. it's on around 12 hours a day here...

"man notify-send" a way to make libnotify calls from just about anything, for that annoying pop up you feel you need.

is opera GTK+ native yet? does it have options to use easylist? how about greasemonkey scripts?

he could just move to SVG and JS, and then users from all over could see it, via a standards compliant web browser.
i agree with the lack of flash on the iPad, make it hard to watch hulu, the daily show, foamy the squirrel, etc. Also no flash games, I know apple wants me to only play the games it says are ok for me via the app store, but still.
maybe if you installed it on the iPhone that would be valid, but apple would be installing and vetting it.
animated SVG seems to be pretty close to flash, except that Adobe products only sorrta produce them. What i would like to see is a flv to svg converter, maybe FFmpeg can do it.
i doubt it's F1 drivers, they loose tenths just talking on the radio, or adjusting brake bias.

i second that.
you have hardware level access to the N[789]00 devices. I would like an ipad sized n900. that would be a great device.
yes, if it's enough of a market for them, they will make sure that they get support from upstream, if enough companies ask for linux support for subassembly Y then maybe it will change. If you really feel you need to keep it closed, do like nvidia, or handle it yourself.

so put the racks in the cave and the office outside at the entrance. best of both worlds.
yep, and all you have to do is hold the down button, and then press X. there is no comprehension test, or the like.

also the shape of the lamp has been dictated, 6" round. that doesn't leave much for making the lamp spread sideways or any other beam shape.
