I just checked, I can access IEEE Xplore and most other subscription databases directly through my on-campus apartment's connection or through "EZProxy" from a non-campus connection. Perhaps your university just does not want to spend the extra money to let you access the databases from anywhere.
And the Windows CS/IS students here have no problem using PuTTY and VNC to remotely access computers in our Linux lab. Although there's no special licensed software on them.
Of course, this is not to say I want to see the campus computer labs go away.
Well, lets take the OSCAR plugin in Pidgin/libpurple. It's only (or at least by far the primary) use is to talk to AOL's server(s), which are not free. Does that make the plugin or even libpurple or Pidgin non-free?
I believe the last time I tried it with my ext3 (sometime late last year), my volumes were always marked as dirty on shutdown. It's a ext2 driver rather than an ext3 driver, does it have something to do with that?
Unfortunately, it seems be best cross-platform file system that supports files greater than 4GB right now is NTFS. (FAT32 being hands down the best for file systems that don't need support for files over 4GB.)
Not to mention the devices that actually run straight Windows CE. My GPS navigator does as well as our AT&T IPTV boxes. Price checkers at Meijer (and probably elsewhere) run CE. So does the Zune.
Seriously, what made you think CE was dead?
First, it could be more like sudo. Include a command to launch a process with elevated privileges from the command line. Don't reprompt if it's been a short while since the user last successfully granted elevation.
Secondly, whitelist control panel applets, but don't mess it up like they did with Windows 7. Give the processes high integrity so normal processes can't modify them in any way and put them on the secure desktop or something similar to prevent any input from a normal process. Or does this already happen with higher integrity processes, as it really should?
The standard price for Rock Band tracks is $2, with some tracks being $1 at least temporarily.
Personally, I've only bought tracks that I've heard and I know I like. (Of course I've downloaded the free tracks as well, Still Alive and Promised Land are awesome.) I'm not sure what the (Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo)/MTV Games/Harmonix/Artist/Music Industry payment breakdown if though.
My father fell for one of those scams for another piece of software and got his money back after complaining to PayPal. That's not a good service for scammers to use.
The quality of OTA channels on cable seems pretty good to me. U-Verse is pretty bad, though.
I'm pretty sure the Roku player uses WMV/VC-1 like everything else for HD, so the only thing they can do it reduce the quality. Will they offer these lower quality HD streams to the 360 and Tivo? The HD streaming doesn't work very even over a 10mbit connection in my experience.
I generally take being negative to mean being pessimistic, which is bad for you. Although I'd probably say the guy was being cynical in this case.
And I'd say getting rid of "negative influences" means getting rid of influences that are not constructive. People that disagree with you can certainly be positive influences and better your critical thinking.
You do know the RIAA is just representing the labels, right? One of the big members (Universal Music) is owned by Vivendi, a French company. I can't tell if they're involved though, beyond creating the amendment that made this possible.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was in his home directory on a SMB share, went up a few directories and found a file called busdrivers.xls or something similar.
Users can hopefully expect computability with the ICH9 SATA controller in IDE mode. At least, it wasn't working with any of the 8.04 kernels when I used it and was working last I tried 8.10. Please tell me that this wasn't broken again.
How about protecting children from the law? A 17 year old friend, who currently has a MySpace account, is currently in jail and will be in the sex offender registry for the rest of his life. Coincidentally, his family doesn't have any money.
I just download 3.0 out of the stable directory on the CS Utah mirror and it shows as OOO300m9 (same as RC4)build 9358.
I tried the PDF import plugin, but it doesn't give me any options and imports it directly as a slideshow with messed up text.
Using U-Verse in Michigan. They sent me an email saying the ToS had changed, and listed a "few important changes":
For all Members:
* Arbitration Agreement. We have added language that requires customer disputes with AT&T regarding AT&T Internet Services to be submitted to binding arbitration or small claims court. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court and often faster. In addition, AT&T will pay for all costs of arbitration, no matter who wins, as long as your claim is not frivolous.
For AT&T High Speed Internet Members:
* AT&T High Speed Internet Service Description. We have added new language to the service description to more clearly describe how we provide your high speed Internet connection, and to explain what factors can affect the performance of your high speed Internet service. * Termination of Voice Service. With AT&T High Speed Internet Direct service, we can deliver the benefits of broadband without a home phone connection. For customers who terminate their home phone service with AT&T -- but not their high speed Internet service -- we have added new language that will ultimately enable us to maintain a customer's broadband connection at the then current rates, terms, and conditions for AT&T High Speed Internet Direct service.
The email also included a link to this page, which says "From time to time, we may change this Agreement, the Site, or Service, including the rates and charges. We will provide you with thirty (30) days notice of material changes via either your Member Account e-mail address or U.S. mail. It is your responsibility to check your e-mail address for any such notices. Your continued subscription to the Service after receipt of such notice constitutes your acceptance of such changes.".
However, that link clearly says August 2008 and I just received it yesterday.
As of now, Facebook offers users the ability to switch between the new layout (new.facebook.com) and the previous layout. I can switch my status to "Matt likes bugmenot.com" on the old layout but trying to do so on the new layout pops up a box stating "Warning: This Message Contains Blocked Content".
The CSI episode I got back when Amazon Unbox was just launched and they were giving away a show for free is ~2.3 megabits/sec WMV. It seems odd that they would decrease the quality, except if the videos were meant for mobiles.
Would the anti-virus that deleted mIRC happen to be made by Computer Associates, or did another product also do that (wouldn't surprise me at all)?
I'm presuming these laptops run Windows, I wonder why they don't run some form of Unix? Does the nutritional software used by NASA only work with Windows? Can the astronauts use their own software on these laptops?
It wouldn't be that hard to fill up a 500GB hard drive being used for DVR storage, especially with HD content. Actually using your own hard drive for a DVR and getting more than OTA HD is a bit harder. And as for iPods, Apple does seem to be focusing more on lower capacity flash versions now.
It depends on how they implement it. They could make it an optional: When an app is installed, it can register with a central update service which periodically checks the websites of the individual software distributes for an XML file and updates accordingly. The downloads would be signed with the distributor's key. Not quite the most efficient way of checking for updates, but a lot better than each programming checking for updates itself, many using their own processes that are continuously running.

How would those people afford to have a permanent phone number to call from, then? You can get a prepaid phone for around $20 per three months.
Most of the cheaper stores around here (dollar stores and Aldi) only take cash or debit, so they obviously think taking credit cards is a net loss.
It might not be a blip on your radar, but what about someone making $20k or less a year? And I don't know anyone who'd spend $5k on a 60" HDTV.

Judging by their use in Bravias,users won't be able to modify it.
Actually, as far as I can tell the photos are viewable by anyone if they have the URL.
