I'd like to note that those government officials keep pulling up crap like that every once in a while. It's kind of entertaining and frustrating at the same time.
Last year, one idiot in the Ministry of Communications issued an order to all ISPs to ban youtube. Needless to say, the ban was lifted the next day.
As for this DSLR thing, it's probably one dude who was taking a picture of scenery and some idiotic women shouted that he was taking pictures of them. It could be, but who'd do that with a huge DSLR?!
This is not some sort of media control. It's a fling & hopefully will be gone soon. I wish those morons get fired, but I know they'd just rotate to another ministry:/
I'm guessing he's talking about the case where the IT department is not a cost center, but charges departments for tasks. This minimizes silly requests massively.
Let's say you're doing a research and require certain information that is considered in a lower level than your research is targeting, you wouldn't want to waste your time researching that just tso that you continue your original work; Wolfram will do that part for you, therefor, they have presented you with the result of a research.
I say research because this is what it's intended for. Don't think of it as a custom furniture shop where you claim copyright to your design of the furniture.
1998: Had Windows Millennium and the hard disk crashed. Got another disk, installed Slackware (first time in my life to touch Linux -- printed the installation instructions).
2 days later, I installed and configured Apache, Mysql & PHP.
So in the first time my query is: fish blue short fins
And then I hash it, but the next time I search, it could be: blue fish short fins, which would result in a different hash... This is if you want to search the contents of the files.
If you're just searching for an exact file, then what you suggest is correct, but that's not how Google does it, nor how the submitter wants.
Let's assume nvidia passes the licensing issues; Can it afford its own processor fab? If not, who will make the processors?
A lot comments here suggest that nvidia is going to need the license to make the processors, where it could make the technology and strike a deal with any of existing licensed companies to make the procs.
I live in Kuwait and during my time in college, instructors have tried various "electronic" solutions like a smart board or a basic power point presentation, avoiding being interactive with students on a blackboard.
In all cases, it was always a bad idea. The smart board had problems (virus infcetions, IP conflicts, windows crashes,...etc.) and power point presentations were dull -- myself and many others were almost asleep and drooling (and I was sitting in the first row!).
The instructor's solution to the power point presentation pandemic? Back to the blackboard and everyone woke up.
I'm in for well-maintained labs, and would stir away from giving each student a laptop/tablet. The students would abuse those machines much more than they'd benefit from them.
Teachers are there to interact with students, but by giving each student a machine, the attention would be diverted to these boxes and teachers would start pushing content into students' boxes...
Kaspersky. (They have both Antivirus and Internet Security). I recommend this, because you seem to be using ZoneAlarm, hence no problem buying a license.
Your need for the application to be 64-bit is weird. 32-bit applications run just fine.
First of all, my point was that pictures should not be LOOKED AT in the first place.
Why not use an pattern-recognition over images, to search for pictures of possible "harm" like pictures of guns, knives, AKs,...etc.
A picture of a nude 9 year old is not justifiable, but one of a 16 year old from a country where laws allow marriages of that age, is.
Whether USA allows it or not, not all people are aware of these restrictions!
The same aforementioned pattern program can FLAG nude images, but not save them or take copies in anyway. Then maybe the customs can have a service-like (daemon) program installed with the data of the flagged files loaded into it (and only that). If the owner of the laptop sends, zips, emails,..etc. these pictures, the customs are notified, and then they could open these pictures for further investigation.
(Deleting the pictures should NOT trigger a notice!)
There could be many solutions, but invading people's privacy, culture and customs should not be allowed.
For Arabs, and Muslims, it's a very big problem, since strangers are allowed to look at private pictures of family members.
This is both a cultural and a religious difference, which this law doesn't address nor respect.
It's against our customs and culture to post our women's pictures online for the public to see, let alone having the customs look at them and take a copy of them as well!!
And what is considered childpr0n, maybe as well be nude pictures of man's 16 year old wife. That's the legal age to get married in some of the countries in the Middle East.
Apart from pictures, business men carry sensitive information, that shouldn't be copied, and if encrypted, they're forced to provide the key/password to decrypt them. When there's a leak of information, is the US customs going to be responsible for such cases?
This was covered last year, and the Los Alamos website had a few interviews with some people involved on what the uses of Roadrunner are. They had a time-line of what phases are to be done, and as far as memory serves me, they were going with Opterons for the first phase, then performance assessment, then add the Cell processors in the third phase.
From these pictures, it clearly shows they're using IBM Blades (4 chassis in each rack), and IBM already offers BladeQ servers which use Cell processors for HPC applications. The IBM BladeQ servers pack double the CPUs of a PS3.
If you take a look at the Folding@Home project statistics, you can see the performance of PS3 boxes, and almost relate...
I doubt it will be ROM based, as they will need to update it at some point of time, and it's in the benefit of the copyright lovers to make code on the chip update-able instead of having consumers buy new hardware every time.
When I used to program the video recorder to record TV shows while I'm busy, then watch the shows, I tend to forget that what I'm watching is recorded, and forget to skip!
I don't watch TV much anymore, and if I do, whenever an ad is on I switch to other channels then go back.
It's been obvious for many years, that the US media is controlled and biased to certain parties, reflecting "truths" that are not related to reality. For an easy comparison and validation, compare a CNN coverage to a BBC coverage of the same event.

"suspected rapist Julius Assange"
Their attempt at discrediting the accuracy of the info by repeating the word "suspected rapist" is a bit of an old cliche, don't you think?
Also, does this still work, even with so much data available?

I kind of disagree with you here.

This is if you want to search the contents of the files.

So while the disk is self-encrypting itself, what if the power went out?
Complete data corruption/loss?
Or are you gonna mandate that everyone uses a UPS?
Most of the commenters are focusing on how nvidia is going to get a license, but why not ask who will manufacture the processors instead?
nvidia could strike a deal with a company that already has the licenses required.

According to the blog link, it's planned at around March 2010.
You could easily get PCI adapters for USB 3.0 later on. This is not something worth waiting for, in my opinion.
I tried bonding 2x 100Mbps (not Gig), and instead of getting 200Mbps, I got 240Mbps.
Unfortunately I can't simulate Gig bonding properly with my setup. Maybe someone else could try it and let us know.
But to get 30MB/s over Gig (?) is ridiculous. Check your setup's parameters; I'm sure there's something wrong there.

Would you please post the links using the coral cache?
How hard could it be to either do it manually, or automate converting all links to be appended by nyud.net:8080 ???
You'd save many companies a load of bandwidth, and actually make good use of the coral cache...

You can disable TPM by unticking its option from Linux kernel configuration (mine was enabled by default).
And TPM has been around for a while. Nothing new here.
Did they provide video drivers on this one, or is it like the Tytn II model, which had no drivers even though the hardware exists??
