Why bother going above DDR, though? As I understand it, the point of DDR is that the maximum toggle rate on the data lines is the same as the toggle rate on the clock line, meaning they run at effectively the same frequency and have similar signal integrity requirements, whereas with an SDR interface the clock line tends to be the limiting factor. There doesn't seem much point going above that to some kind of hypothetical QDR.
Then again I had always heard that RAMBUS's designs were better from a marketing perspective than a technical one.
Do they actually have most of those in the parts of the US where poor people live? Here in the UK, libraries and free clubs have been closing down and many areas didn't really have that much in the way of parks in the first place.
Oracle had closed that "gaping hole" several months earlier, it's just that Apple are really slow at releasing security fixes for serious vulnerabilities in third-party software they bundle with their OSes.
But that doesn't seem to make biochemical sense. (eventually you end up in the radiation equivalent of homeopathy)
I don't think that argument applies here. Remember that we're talking about a probabilistic process here - people exposed to radiation have an increased risk of getting cancer that's hypothesised to be linearly proportional to their level of radation exposure. Even though radiation is quantized, if someone's been exposed to radiation levels so low that it's incredibly unlikely their body actually absorbed a single quanta of radiation their increased risk of cancer is roughly (probability of cancer from one quanta of radiation)*(probability of absorbing one quanta of radiation), which is what the linear no-threshold model says it should be.
I seem to recall that some implementations of Cleanfeed by some ISPs have been found to incorrectly try and filter HTTP content on all ports, breaking any non-HTTP services on the same IP address.
They can and probably would just block all SSL access to the Pirate Bay's IP address. The fancy stuff with the transparent proxy is aimed at dealing with multiple sites on the same IP address and situations where they just need to block a single page within a site, neither of which applies here - you can't reliably have multiple SSL websites running on the same IP address.
Is the correct answer. There's deliberately no official public description of the systems in question, so all the known details are based on leaked information and reverse engineering.
This probably won't work in the UK. All the major ISPs have some variant of BT's Cleanfeed censorship system - they were pressured into installing it in the name of stopping child porn - so they're almost certainly going to be blocking at the IP level. The entire point of this court case was to force ISPs to use their very effective existing censorship infrastructure to block sites like The Pirate Bay.
Pretty much all the ISPs have a very effective content filter originally instated in the name of blocking child porn - it uses a transparent proxy to intercept and block requests at the HTTP level - and I think it's that specifically that they've been ordered to use to block The Pirate Bay. At the time, the ISPs and politicians behind this scheme insisted that it was only targetted at child porn and there wasn't any kind of slippery slope, whilst opponents pointed out that the courts could force them to block other kinds of sites once they had the infrastructure in place.
Let's have them stop putting up hospitals in places which traditionally had none otherwise
...and telling people in countries with AIDS epidemics that using condoms causes AIDS? Yes, let's.
and not just Mother Teresa's outfit in India either, because historically this includes a very large number of cities in the US
Mother Teresa was incredibly overrated, possibly because she's religious - she spent most of the donations on prostelytizing rather than actually caring for the sick and dying, most of her own time swanning around the world hob-knobbing with the powerful, apparently refused to provide painkillers to her patients because the suffering would bring them closer to God... the list's quite a long one. The Catholic hospitals in the US, on the other hand, just have a nasty habit of allowing pregnant mothers to die in screaming agony along with their unborn baby when the only way to save the mother is through an abortion. Oh, and since they're normal hospitals, pregnant women who just call up an ambulance or go to the nearest hospital when they have a medical emergency often wind up there without realising it and then can't get transferred out.
The first few seasons of the new Doctor Who were apparently filmed in standard definition because the set and prop quality wouldn't look good enough in HD.
This is basically what Microsoft have always done, though, isn't it? There was even an internal memo describing the usefulness of this particular tactic - quietly getting a Microsoft stooge as the moderator of the discussion - in I think the Halloween documents.
Now figure out what would happen if the malware was coded to infect WordPress blogs adminned from the computers it affected. OSX is the problem here, no question about it.
They only paid cash to people to upload files if they couldn't prove those files were copyright infringing; that's why they had all those spreadsheets identifying what the members of their revenue sharing scheme were uploading. This saved them quite a bit of money.
A major driving force in lithium-air battery development is the demand for advanced battery technology for the automotive sector. The energy density of gasoline is approximately 13 kWh/kg, which corresponds to 1.7 kWh/kg of energy provided to the wheels when accounting for losses. The theoretical energy density of the lithium-air battery is 12 kWh/kg excluding the oxygen mass. It has been theorized that a practical energy density of 1.7 kWh/kg at the wheels of an automobile could be realized when accounting for over-potentials, other cell components, battery pack ancillaries, and the much higher efficiency of electric motors.
Not only that, the/. summary is written to imply that he'd been concealing the fact that he was being paid by Oracle when he made previous comments on the case, which is an incredibly dishonest misrepresentation of his actual statement that a lot of commenters seem to have bought into.
That's not exactly PJ's bias. She sided with IBM when they used some of their arsenal of incredibly broad patents to sue a company providing commercial support for open-source software that competed with them, because being anti-Microsoft and pro-IBM comes before being pro-open source.
I think Fasttext - a feature that offered 4 colour-coded links at the bottom of the page to other pages that were pre-cached - was fairly widespread in Teletext's heyday. It was certainly widely available well before ordinary non-academic individuals could get home internet access.
Freeview's a lot more bandwidth-stingy than analog ever was - think 3 Mbit/s average for video in many cases, as low as 2 in some cases - and they're hardly going to allocate 600kbps just to interactive text services. I mean, they could fit 3 radio channels or a quarter of a TV channel in that easily. Also, digital text services on Freeview do just send the entire catalog repeatedly (though they call it a MHEG carousel) and so you do still have to wait for the useful bits to come by in the same way as with Ceefax.
Newer and less useful - it actually has less information than the "old-fashioned" Ceefax and worse information density - they can fit about 1 paragraph of a news story or 5 headlines of the index on screen at a time, compared to 4 paragraphs or the whole index with Ceefax, and most of the pages didn't make it in the switchover.

I don 't think there is any kind of factory image or onboard flash storage, just whatever image you download and load onto an SD card.

Ah yes, that's the memo I was thiking of, though I think it was known about before PJ blogged about it.

ARM has the same endianness and word size as x86. It's probably part of the reason it's so widely used.

I think Chrome uses a fork of NSS for its SSL support though.

We do sort of get Ceefax on digital services in some cases - we get a single page telling us to use the digital interactive replacement instead, which doesn't have a lot of the pages that Ceefax did.
