Journalism will never die... As the vinyl didn't died either. Why some activity far more important will?
This is stuff printed by hysterical people. There will always exist some form of journalism. The more independent ones (thank good!) will undoubtedly have more success than the mass market ones because there will be less competent bloggers of that type. Mainstream news are more like entertainment, and are suffering just like big music editors or film distributors.
Voice is much more complicated than it seems. You have to tax calls, manage pre-paid and post-paid plans. You need to have rules for roaming between operators and types of access, guarantee privacy, but also ensure the the authorities can listen and trace calls if ordered by a court of law. You have QOS, policy enforcement (ex: terminate calls if you have no $$), call forwarding,...
And all this must be integrated to other existing operators seamlessly and without braking any existing features.
It is very complicated stuff.
WiMax was in the works for too long. Besides that, after the millions spent on UMTS licenses here in Europe, no operator was willing to adopt it. It seems that LTE (4G) is going to fit very well in the core GSM(2G)/UMTS(3G) infrastructure and there's already some fuzz about it.
9.10 is slower on startup, but I noticed it faster in runtime. It uses less processor and memory (It is only a perception).
The pulsaudio crap is working well.
I've installed it in 3 computers and only in my eeepc 901 I had a bad bug, that I later found is due to a driver issue related to the wireless adapter.
I think the article is histerical.
In Ubuntu 8.10 I had to install several add ons to control it and VLC sound was really broken.
In Ubuntu 9.04 I had to remove it in order to listen something...
Now in 9.10 I have sound, but I still don't have it over HDMI.
PulseAudio and linux audio in general is a disgrace. It is in times like this I miss normalization and standards.
The odds of interstellar travel may not be zero, but they are not evident to. At this point in history saying it is possible is as plausible as the opposite. Don't fool yourself with Star Trek, it's a good fun but most of it is not science.
Don't care what anyone might say about this, Every day I have problems with sound over s/pdif and HDMI.
In EVERY update of ubuntu I had sound glitches. Since day one I hated pulseaudio... how cares about volume per application or sound servers across the network when you have to kill firebox in order to have sound in VLC?... yeah, that happens a lot.
I agree with you in a 20-50w consumption with an atom based system, considering all new and efficient parts. My numbers were based in the assumption he would use only old hardware.
Low reliability end energy inefficient.
A P4 burns more or less 60w in idle. A drive easily use 15w. If the power supply has an 50% efficiency... that is perfectly normal for old cases. If you have 3 disks you use (60+3*15)*1.5= 157.5 w. Add more 20w to motherboard, memory and stuff and you get almost 180W in idle. This is a LOT after one year.
If you are not still convinced. Try to imagine how to recover the raid array after one disk dies... Search the net and you'll find a lot of people that was unable to recover arrays because they used cheap hardware.
Because of this I discarded NAS and similar solutions.
I have external hard drives and I plug them as I need using USB. Put them away from kids, sun and humidity and they will be fine.
Do you have the original bill provided by the seller? Do you even asked for it to check if the item was not stolen?
I think if companies were more careful, like this one, people would be more careful before buying 2nd hand stuff.
This was not what Star Trek used to be about

Gene Roddenberry mus be rolling in his grave. The Trek universe is not about blowing out some shit. Between the bad acting, the absence of exploration or a trace of humanist values, it only remains the will of a corporation to introduce the product to a younger audience used to brainless plots and action.
Dont't be a troll!
The article was very useful and, as far I can tell, the author was systematic and did a good research.
This conclusions are very useful for everyone using SSD.
Did you ever used jffs2? Do you trust your files to it?
Come on... At present there is no production reliable, SSD oriented file system available.
The MPAA doesn't what free content everywhere because the majority of contents are attached to impulse buyers. The majority of music or movies are common consumer products, like a pair of trousers. They have a very short product life cycle. If they don't sell those albums, or those movies in 6 months to 1 year, they won't sell them at all. True interesting things like the Python's stuff are timeless because they are also art, not pure consumer products.
Usually SD readers use a USB interface inside... So, it will also have a high CPU usage. The 6MB/s are a real deal, I have a class 6 card that does it, but... in large files you can see periodic freezes during transfer, I think, because of the buffer system used by the SD.
Refusing M$ proposition was probably one of the worst business decisions ever made, and can lead to the end of the company. The CEO is there to execute the shareholders interests... Unfortunatly this is not the case in a lot of places.

Yes... Pulseaudio doesn't see the S/PDIF output used to send audio to the video card.
In Ubuntu 8.10 I had to install several add ons to control it and VLC sound was really broken. In Ubuntu 9.04 I had to remove it in order to listen something...

Great post man. Congratulations.

During my windows time, I stopped using Norton because it was useless and bloated. In fact, anti-virus was the reason I ditch windows.

Mod parent up. The dam thing is really awesome!!!
"bem postado pá!" :D
Well posted mate!
My main computer still uses POP to download everything. In the others I use IMAP.

He was already missed before even leaving, as recent speculation testifies.
It's always sad when one of us goes, independently of our personal opinion of his posts. Thanks for everything, even the not so good things. bye.
This is a major bottleneck. When they intend to solve it?

"We now suspect that"
Yeah...I also can suspect that a giant skids are aliens incarnations from Frodo...
The world is already full of FUD, comeback with real prof please.
Refusing M$ proposition was probably one of the worst business decisions ever made, and can lead to the end of the company. The CEO is there to execute the shareholders interests... Unfortunatly this is not the case in a lot of places.
