They claim their second-hand German subway cars were built domestically. They claim their Chinese-made steam engine locomotives were built domestically. They show tourists a model of a space shuttle implying that they built one. Their rockets are third- and fourth-generation derivatives of Soviet designs. The imported trams have tens of millions of miles on them.
No doubt they will soon start importing Chinese-made laptops with Longsoon processors and claim they were built domestically.
I really have to say that MKV has a long row to hoe with hardware implementations since the format doesn't seem to be frozen. When Matroska's developers said something along the lines of, "Oops, we forgot internet streaming," MKV really lost a lot of street cred.
Look in the mirror. If you're wearing a beret and a soul patch, it's an image editor. If you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and a goatee, it's a photo editor.
If Youtube wants to be legitamate, Google needs to institute a moderation system. All of this legal trouble with having illegal activities and copyrighted material being posted to Youtube would be much less of a problem if Google simply decided to take responsibility for Youtube and implement a moderation system.
No way. Their architecture is about as "best guess" engineering as Facebook. I don't think that's actually what engineering is. "Maybe this one will work?"
In the meantime, I have not been able to update my avatar image on Twitter, and TwitPic-like feature is still a faint glimmer in Twitter's amateur eyes. Speaking of missed opportunities, why drive so much traffic to Twitter parasites Bit.ly, TwitPic, TinyURL, Twitition, TwitLonger?
What in the world are Twitter's engineers actually DOING should be the real question.
This is a really old scam since the beginning of subsidized cell phone plans. Ask any Radio Shack manager, or for that matter, any electronics retailer how many people think they can get a new phone after dipping it in water.
I think the proper application of HALinux Heartbeat obviates the need for keeping a machine alive forever. There are going to be ECC parity errors that are going to take the machine down. Replacing kernel parts on-the-fly is a good ideal, though, but a higher-level view suggests that's not the real challenge for 99.999% uptime.
Java hardware acceleration was discarded by the Android platform. Imagine if someone were to translate Dalvik into a bytecode that is compatible with the inbuilt Java acceleration of most mobile-market processors. The fact that Android uses Dalvik instead of Java throws away an important hardware-based performance boost of native Java acceleration.
All I can suggest is to watch "The Terminator" movies again. Google's explicit goal is to collect all data possible and index it for the benefit of humankind. This includes artificial intelligence--indeed a senior director of Google is an acknowledged AI scientist. The application of AI to the corpus of all data possible is profound. The digitization of books, the collection of browing habits, the analysis of web sites, and the analysis of all GMail users' email data, compounded with myriad other data sources could provide an interesting advanced intelligence. Even if it's just a Deep Blue style of brute-force thinking, the corpus upon which this "hive mind" will draw is profound. Google is the real Skynet. Nobody knows what will happen, but it's going to be profoundly amazing.
Ubuntu Netbook Remix is not mobile. It is mobile in name and user interface, but certainly not by its architecture. It should have all of the usual read/write bits mounted on a ramdisk so as to not use the flash drive (or hard disk) for anything. It should also have tweaked Mozilla to also use ramdisk for its temporary storage. And don't log errors anywhere. Don't load a zillion daemons. Don't load the regular kernel. Just be more like Damn Small Linux, Familiar, or the Eee PC and Acer Aspire One's systems.
You do realize that Theora is derived directly from On2's VP3 codec, and that On2 owns and has the rights to use important IP and has the means by which to license it?
Wow, but honestly Microsoft didn't do anything like this to keep UltimateTV alive. It's a bitter irony that TiVo keeps winning suits like this to eventually be targetted by one of the richest software makers in the world.
DirectSound was dropped from Microsoft.NET applications. This was a serious problem for my needs. I'm not sure this is still true, but I don't get why Microsoft drops these important APIs from.NET applications.
Back when we called them "Service Bureaus" book scanning was fast, easy, and cheap, as long as you didn't want the book back.
You deliver your book, magazine, phone book, map, large format document, or whatever to a Service Bureau. They will then use a paper saw and cut the binding off and the other three sides to make perfectly smooth edges. Then they put the whole mess into a hopper. The hopper feeds the pages to a scanner. When it's done, flip the pile over and put it back into the hopper to get the odd-numbered pages into the scanner.
What you get back is your original book (as a pile of pages with no binding) and a CD-ROM of its contents in both original TIFF and OCRd text files. Now you can get them as PDF/A and DejaVu formats.
I suppose Google's point is that they don't want to ruin the books, or maybe they are so proud of their 3D-scanner enough to use it at all costs. But think of this: there are usually several thousands, perhaps millions, of copies of the books I've seen in Google's library, so destroying one copy of the book seems fair enough.
Just to quickly follow up: password hashes aren't passwords. They didn't get the users' passwords--just the means by which they might hack them with a password cracker, but again, there is likely nothing worthwhile to "transfer" even if they could do that.
Reading through the documents at http://www.stanfordfinancialreceivership.com/ the Stanford Financial Group was apparently designed to obfuscate information so that investigators couldn't make heads or tails of it. This is why all the computer equipment in all 30 offices were shipped to a single warehouse in Texas so that investigators could try to piece it back together.
Secondly, the revelation of this information by the hackers indicates it did not have useful value except perhaps by someone who didn't want the money (if it even existed), like the investigators.
Third, even if the scheme had actual money in it to transfer, there was no such system to do that.
Thanks but the offline registry edits were much more effective for me. I don't want the registry blottoed by an unclean shutdown after I tried to change permissions on a half-dozen randomly-named files.
Oh, and yes, I have yet to ever fill out a PDF form. The government's various paperwork reduction acts were supposed to phase them in and even today you still rarely see any.

Flash actually uses several video codecs. I'm puzzled why people think H.264 is the only one.

We should all review the true meaning of passive-aggressiveness. The article in question does not describe this behavior at all. Please read more here:

Where is all the waste going? The political horse trading by the Obama administration promised to shut down Yucca Mountain, toileting over $9 billion.
Is anyone doing the math??

That's right. The only place the knowledge exists is inside "Sir" Allen Stanford's brain.
