It's not perjury, and they're not criminals. Perjury is making a false or misleading statement while under oath, and there is no oath here.
17 U.S.C. (512(c)(3)(A)(vi)):

Manufacturers and carriers that hold back Android updates are like IT departments that keep everyone on IE6. Developers have to decide whether or not to support new features given so many people running old versions. And if they do use the new features, do they lock out the old versions, or spend extra time writing workarounds and testing on those old versions?
The CPython implementation has a global interpreter lock that makes threading worthless in some situations, but the language certainly supports it (and other implementations can use it without restriction).
As a Solaris user, I guess I just don't get it. Why EXACTLY do you need a 64bit version of flash? Have they removed the ability in linux of running 32bit binaries on a 64bit system?
It's nice not to have to maintain an extra userland just for one program. If I upgrade JACK and the wire protocol changes, Flash can't make sound until I go find the latest 32-bit libs.
Ubuntu uses PulseAudio on the ALSA audio subsystem, but that error message indicates XTrans is trying to use the OSS audio subsystem instead. To work around this, try using the Pulse OSS wrapper or temporarily disable Pulse. From the commandline, "padsp xtrans" or "pasuspender xtrans".
No*, but I do like my flash videos to have sound. I use JACK for low-latency audio mixing, and JACK's wire protocol is not compatible over different architectures.
* I use development builds of Chrome, and the bad ones sometimes DO use >4 GB RAM. But not often;)
Is anyone else reminded of Star Control 2? The "peaceful" Slylandro probe... which was misconfigured with bad priorities.
Captain: Your probe DOES destroy ships and I can prove it! Slylandro: No! It cannot! It is not programmed for hostile behavior! What is your reasoning?! Captain: Think about what a probe does when it meets a ship. Slylandro: Space ships are the probe's highest priority because we want more than anything to make friendly contact with alien races. Captain: Think about a probe's Replication behavior. Slylandro: The probe seeks raw materials, and processes them in preparation for Replication. Captain: Think about the effect of changing the replication behavior's priority. Slylandro: The answer is simple... it would spend more of its time seeking raw materials for its replication process. So what? Captain: Now, what will it do to a ship, given that its Replication priority is set to maximum? Slylandro: I don't see what you are getting at, but I'll play along with you. Slylandro: Like I said, alien ships are THE top priority target. Once a probe scanned a ship, it would instantly move toward it. Then, when it got to the ship, it would initiate communication automatically. When communications were terminated, a new behavior would be selected, and... Slylandro: Uh-oh. Slylandro: A new behavior would be selected, and since the Replication setting was set to maximum the probe wouldn't get time to pick a new target... it would use the current target--the ship--for raw Replication materials. It would process the ship, break it into component compounds with electrical discharges. Slylandro: Oh no! what have we done? Traveller! You must tell us what we can do! How can we stop the probes from destroying all life in the galaxy?!
Not that I'd expect anyone here to read the articles, but to quote the presentation:
ARWINSS takes the best from Wine:
– “Cheap” syncs of work done by hundreds of
developers for every new version (takes ~30
minutes to merge and test)
– At least 13495 apps from appdb.winehq.org
become supported, plus support of those apps
which Wine can’t run by design (hardware
protection, drivers, etc)
– Good, proven, regression tested source code
...and leaves the worst:
– Ugly emulation of NT kernel
– Incorrect call chains in kernel32/ntdll
– ntoskrnl.exe being just another service
– Very slow communication with Wineserver
– Wineserver as a nightmare
– UNIX dependencies
–...
I have! MyISAM tables get corrupted by normal MythTV use on x86_64, which causes mysqld to crash. Pretty annoying to live with, until you realize you can change the engine to InnoDB and it seems to work.
I submitted a workaround for a buggy USB device a few months ago, which was my first patch after using linux for more than 10 years. Usually when I find a problem in the kernel it's either already been fixed in a later version, or it looks too complicated for me to risk wasting my time on. I would bet that a lot of my one-off colleagues have had the same experience.
I use most of my mod points for knocking down posts that start with "I know I'll get modded down, but...", or end with "and now the zealots will mod me down."
I'm still waiting for my (-1, User requested) moderation descriptor.
There are some performance bugs that need to get worked out in the current CUDA drivers. But for 8-series and higher cards, there is nothing stopping us from writing our own acceleration and postprocessing code that runs directly on the GPU.
The direction that everybody is looking at for next generation, both console and eventual graphics card stuff, is a "sea of processors" model, typified by Larrabee or enhanced CUDA and things like that
As I've pointed out on the NVIDIA forums, CUDA/OpenGL interoperability is totally broken from a game or video performance standpoint. Instead of being able to quickly shuffle graphics buffers between your CUDA kernel and your OpenGL graphics engine, you have to waste time and bus throughput copying them from the GPU to the host and back again!
Whether CUDA or its ilk have any effect on AAA games remains to be seen, but I will be surprised if some novelty like GPU raytracing won't end up in an IGF winner.
This is a neat idea, but you should check google's terms of service. In particular, the part where you "specifically agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the Services through any automated means". I don't know how well they could detect this, but you're definitely in a gray area.

But IANAL. So why isn't this perjury?

Eric Cartman? Is that you?

There certainly are mediocre Python programmers out there, but I hadn't seen "Java-bad" Python code until the most recent TDWTF: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Python-Charmer.aspx

"Younger workers' lives are all integrated, not segregated," says Larry Rivard. "They have learned to work anywhere — at a kitchen table or wherever."
Could that be because their office space has become so worthless that anywhere else is preferable?
You can't *start* a thread by Godwinning it! That's what Hitler would have done!

Thank you! Reading page after page of complaints about this was disheartening. Not everyone has lost their sense of imagination.
Is there perhaps some kind of grassy, open area that you'd like today's kids to extricate themselves from?
It wasn't Phoronix who got the confirmation from Valve, it was telegraph.co.uk.
No*, but I do like my flash videos to have sound. I use JACK for low-latency audio mixing, and JACK's wire protocol is not compatible over different architectures.

Meanwhile, Hulu hasn't worked with the 64-bit flash plugin since January...

Middle clicking in the document area will paste and go. That probably only works in X, but the same principle should apply on other interfaces.

This is documented on the ubuntu wiki, but affects gentoo as well.
Exactly. I GPL almost all of my projects, but not my *prototypes*. It's a shame that this "opinion" got to the front page.
I used 7-zip as an asset container for Taekwondo World Champion. It has great compression, decent tools, and it's open source; what's not to like?
Just wait...if Cuomo discovers that child porn is shared via HTTP, he might force ISPs to drop access to the web.
No, that would be overreacting. Not the *whole* web... just the .coms!
Nice to see my name in 2.6.25 :)
