This typo is a good summary of the article. Perfectly good vocalizing about the death of open systems.. except that it hasn't happened yet has it. Wake me up after the product launch.
They could be analyzing in real time, which would vastly shrink the storage needed.
That said this legislation should greatly push the general public toward encryption of all usage, hand in hand with periodic disclosure of government abuse over time. Since not just the bad guys are being surveilled. Of course it is the same as what happens in other European / North American countries one could presume, they are just putting it into law that the public can see..
Replying to own post but the company name was ASKUL. Maybe it means ass + fun in Swedish. Though cul in French means bottom too.. oh well! Just thought it would help when making up domain names and the like.
It could be worse. I discovered a famous furniture company's name means "ass" in Swedish from some engineers who couldn't stop laughing whenever they would see these boxes everywhere. I couldn't find it in the dictionary so it must be colloquial.
I wonder is there a way to search whether a made up brand name matches any word colloquial or not in any of the mainstream languages?
Pushing harder means a wider surface area of fingertip deforming to meet surface. So a light touch does not necessarily activate. That, plus they might be able to tell if you are touching the side of the button, which means buttons smaller than your fingertip which probably don't feel good more like an old hp rpn calculator. Nevertheless clicky buttons is probably on their roadmap in the future. Personally I am wondering more about the freezing point of the capillary fluid and what kind of moire patterns may appear on retina displays.
By Eiffel Tower you mean Tokyo Tower I presume. It is a bit different but yes inspired by the Eiffel Tower. By Statue of Liberty you mean the one France brought to Japan? Or the replica made to replace it when it was returned? There's another replica elsewhere few people know about in Japan.. of course there are hundreds worldwide. The Chinese example is of a different scale. To do it secretly is pretty horrific. Of course China is building thousands upon thousands of cities so I suppose it is natural some would become theme parks. And open source whatever. But the idea of someone sneaking into your town on false pretenses is really like a stalker. Whereas the towns would have been pleased if they'd been asked. For an example in Japan you should have mentioned Huis dem Bosch which was copied down to the centimeter from Holland. I expect they asked permission.
Okay so you are bragging about stealing somebody else's much sought after early delivery, maybe a child's since it is an educational product, and proud about how much you scalped them for it?
I don't get the world anymore. The Raspberry Pi is way more powerful than the Apple ][ I got when I was 13 and that changed my life!
I am wondering what about the possibility of identically named photos, due to swapping cards / cameras / deleting and overwriting etc. So timestamps on folders should be used too perhaps..
I don't know about you but I have seriously gotten used to asking questions / searching google by just typing into the location bar (on Mac Chrome and on Android).
Google could semantically reorganize the words in all queries and put them into the.google name space that would be cool.
I am a bit worried if Stuxnet is state of the art and the U.S. military has now taught the world including its enemies what it thinks is quality coding for cyber weapons. Seems Obama was swayed by the relative lack of expense but it certainly is not low profile or containable. I don't know much about Stux at all but one would imagine that centrifuges are not the only industrial infrastructure that could be targeted by such a weapon. Now you know what every black hat is working on these days, when they are not stealing bitcoins. Unfortunately the posts about drones being the next cyberwar vector are probably true, whether in 1 year or 20 it seems inevitable. The question next is active defense by buildings, airports, aircraft, highway interchanges, bridges, power plants, etc. If the U.S. saw a window in time when such a cyber attack would be little understood and so not be defended against, then how long is the current window in time regarding rogue drone attacks? I don't see much difference between home use R/C and industrial drones either.
I took the time to register about 50 products for my Mother's site victoriantreasury.com that has some handmade products - handmade valentine gift cards based on real antiques in her collection. Anyway the site shows up on the top page of google's results so I thought it might attract people interested in buying in this niche area.. she's really a collector and runs a collectors' society so it is not like Hallmark or anything. But it seemed it would be a perfect long tail kind of niche to fit Google's merchant area.
Well, despite even having to update the spreadsheet more than once as rules changed and putting much time into it, we never got many hits and finally when it recently seemed like it should start working the results list got filled with other vendors spamming tons of identical products to the point that our company didn't even show up in the list of vendors. The engine was very susceptible to be gamed. If they did an ounce of work trying to make a serious engine I would not begrudge them a percentage of any sales made but as it is, I am sorry I wasted my time on Google which you never know if they are going to stand behind a system they build or trash it the next week. Sure glad I didn't get into Google Wave, either. Maybe Google is its own worst enemy?
As poster below says, two fingers or control key plus one finger will simulate a two button mouse. Not an issue. Brush two fingers up/down and screen scrolls smoothly. Do that while holding down control key, and screen zooms ultra quickly, which may be useful if you ar running that resolution on 15in. One thing I can tell you is, the 17 in. MacBook Pro, which I have had for 2-3 years, is quite awesome even now, but it's heavy. The 13 or 15in would be lighter. There also happens to be a boatload of free software for the Mac, both mac original apps which tend to be supergreat, and unix ports. I have an old Microsoft Word but prefer to use the latest libreoffice. I've use pc, linux and mac and I have to say there is a reason why macs are so popular. They work awfully well. She will be much happier and you will be too with less worries. Set up the mac firewall, fail2ban, sophos, vlc, libreoffice, dropbox and her Mail account, and you're done.
1. Might the resources at her command be in any way useful as a backup system for commercial space endeavors? 2. Is SETI funded to any degree by foreign institutions? 3. What possibilities might there be to get money from Hollywood? Aliens in movies are certainly popular.
I always try to write a lot of comments into my code, whatever the language. Most sample code and tutorials do so too. So I would say, why not post some real world programs in Perl and Python and let people see what they look like, including comments. Even in this thread I see people talking about line noise but frankly, I don't see it. There are a lot of things I don't use in regexes for example but I know it can be done and if I want to I can always perldoc on the command line and brush up on what I don't remember or do so on the web. Since I don't know python much compared to perl it may just be me but my impression is that such comments come from people who have not taken the trouble to learn perl. I mean, there is no line noise in my programs and I split things into several lines and make it look pretty to keep my mind straight, beyond what is needed perhaps. It is possible to develop your own writing style in Perl whereas Python is apparently stricter, but there is probably a bit of missing information in both camps about what it is like in reality to program in the other side's environment.
According to the developers there are 590,000 lines of changes across 2,500 files from 139 authors in Perl5.16.0. Perl5.16.1 should be published on 20 June, addressing any significant bugs found in the 5.16.0 release. Work will then begin on the 5.17 development branch which should arrive as Perl5.18 in May next year.
Sounds like a HUGE amount of development! I had no idea of the scale of the effort and love and use Perl myself. Hard to imagine how anyone intelligent could ever say Perl is not timely with this kind of mass coordination going on. (Not to mention Slashdot being written in Perl IIRC...)
Personally I am excited about the Modern Perl book (I seem to have self-censored myself into using older versions). I have used and liked Catalyst but have also imagined even easier ways to build systems with it and say Moose. So I am going to have a lot of fun trying out Dancer and PSGI/Plack.

typo: add "seem" -> "the less important and moralistic will any pirate versions [seem]." Also forgot to say, no DRM. The point of the above strategy is to understand network technology routes around congestion and so DRM gets treated as a speed bump. So we drop all barriers to zero and boost convenience through the roof. People generally will pay for a reasonable deal and those who want it free will still pay by watching the ads. There is no justification whatsoever for adding DRM. By using good timing and avoiding rapaciousness there is no reason this should not work and generate more profit.

I wouldn't trade this for a college education but this would have been pure platinum if it had been around when I was in grade school.
They use hexamesters so CS102 would be the next 1/6 of a year..

What is your sustainable funding and distribution model, and do you see any potential interaction with commercial spaceflight endeavors?

Google could semantically reorganize the words in all queries and put them into the .google name space that would be cool.
So popular searches like "dyi projects for home" (which I discovered by just typing the words in and seeing autocomplete suggestions) might be mapped by google into:
http://results.home.dyi.projects.google/
and then google could automatically create:
http://community.home.dyi.projects.google/livechat/channelnumber
http://market.home.dyi.projects.google/yourbrandname
http://users.dyi.projects.google/yourgoogleaccountname
http://projects.google/yoursourceforgeprojectname
http://videos.home.dyi.projects.google/ -> maps to youtube
etc.
Okay that was pretty f***ing funny.
I didn't know a basque is a kind of corset lingerie..!
