For most of the popular torrent clients du jour -- Transmission, Vuze, uTorrent, etc., as long as you don't later move the file, seeding is automatic as soon as you finish downloading. You have to either move the file from where you downloaded it, set a ratio limit to be reached, or otherwise manually stop seeding.
This is correct. While Netgem, Sagem/Safran, and Huwei are liable for not complying with the GPL, so is Telstra. The GPL is a permission that applies to each recipient/distributor of the code, and that would include Telstra. There are no exceptions for distributing it on a piece of hardware that you just slapped your label on.
Erm, well, by that definition, I would consider Eric S. Raymond, rather than Bruce Perens, as the founder of the open source movement. After all, he coined the term "open source" and was the first person to "codify" its methods (i.e.;, CaTB)
You're almost right. Base 16 (hexadecimal) happens to be a convenient way for humans to do base 2 math. Any programmer worth his salt can do hex math in his head.;)
The point is moot. If Facebook didn't do it themselves, someone with a screenscraper and a database would.
Quite correct. And it would be even simpler than that. It's Web site. At the end of the day, Facebook presents your browser with HTML and JavaScript. A competent individual could write a script to do this in very little time with any modern scripting language -- Python, Perl, Ruby, or [insert your favorite here]. Or they could create a mashup with Google Web Toolkit. In any respect, HTML is, more or less, easily parseable programmatically.
Those griping have no room to do so. You provided the data to Facebook, and explicitly or implicitly, you have Facebook permission to display this data to other users. You have no idea how these users will end up using the data. If you have a problem with this, or any other aspect, you should terminate your Facebook account. Now. No buts. I don't want to hear it.
Except that TFA, which is Verizon Wireless to pay $25M for spurious fees, says that Verizon agreed to provide refunds to 15 million, not the 4.66 million the parent erroneously estimates. I find it very curious that Verizon is not disclosing the actual total amount of the refunds. Smells like a coverup.
I agree and to add to this, I think that those polled don't really know what they're asking for. How much of our communications infrastructure is now tied to the Internet? A lot of major companies and even government agencies are now using Voice Over IP, for instance, for telephone access. Wireless phone companies are increasingly routing cell phone calls over the Internet to save costs (Doubt this? Think about it: when you make a phone call, you're connecting to a tower. How do you _know_ where your call goes from there? Hint: You don't.)
Retailers use VPNs to connect stores to the home office. Some ATM machines use a VPN connection to conduct their transactions rather than a modem. Corporate WANs are frequently using VPNs to connect campuses in an effort to lower costs. Banking transactions are being conducted over VPNs and SSL Internet connections. Hell, even some traffic lights are now programmed over the Internet.
Forget about it. You couldn't shut down the whole Net. It would bring our entire country grinding to a halt.
Even Ray Ozzie has admitted that a fundamental shift in today's computing environment is underway. Microsoft has traditionally used its Windows operating system as a means of controlling other markets, and he basically admits that this business model is done. The future is all about embedded devices and cloud computing.
They don't need to make it difficult to install applications outside of the Mac App Store. They just need to re-educate users so that most users will refuse to install applications not from the Mac App Store.
Um, and have you visited any gay porn sites? Or maybe it's just that you bought 5 CDs worth of show tunes on iTunes. Perhaps you're constantly searching Bette Midler movies on IMDB? Or maybe you do your Christmas shopping at Michaels.com?
Actually, the clock speed of the current crop of GPUs is around 800-900 Mhz, with RAM controller speeds around 1200 Mhz. IOW, memory access is faster, but core clock speed isn't. The faster clock speeds, combined with special instructions contained in modern GPUs for video encoding actually makes them very good choices for video encoding; but they are not necessarily the fastest chips in the computer. Modern desktop CPUs are faster.
That's changing. The popularity of YouTube has caused the market for digital video cameras to explode; now they're in everything from cellphones to laptops. Video editing applications are experiencing increasing popularity as well and that means that people need to encode video on their PCs.
It may be obvious now, but Microsoft applied for this patent in 2004, well before stuff like OpenCL and CUDA came around.
Was it obvious then? IMHO, yes: I had thought of this as early as 1996 and was disappointed to learn that GPUs at that time lacked sufficient horsepower and, more importantly, sufficient instruction sets.
Someone else already did. This is the guide I followed, but note that you do not need to patch VirtualBox if you're running 3.2.8 or later as this version includes support for OS X out of the box. You tell it you're running OS X Server, not FreeBSD as the instructions state.
Pay special attention to the directions for getting the NIC running; they're toward the end.
Note that there is no support for desktop effects.
About the same as the AV performance of any other OS running in VirtualBox. Definitely inadequate for doing professional or even prosumer level A/V production. I agree that you'd definitely want a dedicated box for that. Dabblers with sufficiently fast CPUs and lots of RAM would be able to see what Logic Pro can do, though.

Connectix Virtual PC was released in 1997. That was, what, 13 years ago? I wouldn't call that "relatively recently."
and look what it did for the popularity of apple hardware.. they got so big, that ibm decided to make its own PC too.. stirring the behomoth into action.
This is the truth. According to Jack Sams, IBM Boca Raton started what they initially called 'Project Chess' after noting the success of the Apple II.
However, what made the Apple II successful and what made the Macintosh successful are two completely different stories.

Hmmm? We're not? We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little Europeans. Wicked, tricksy, false!

Windows 7 Mobile isn't a new OS. It's Windows CE.

Yeah. There are plenty of torrents available! ;)

Well, gold and silver most often occurs in ores; the ores would be a compound, right?

Bah. Who needs to build a Hackintosh? I have Snow Leopard running in VirtualBox.
