hey, if you goto http://davisfreeberg.com/ the story is the first one on his page, and readable with screenshots there. Let's slashdot his homepage too....
The mirror is busted for me too. I love all of the heated comments about the story when the article is inaccessible. Does anyone have a working mirror of this? Is this a fake story? I mean, don't get me wrong, I WANT to hate netflix and all things DRM, but I'd like to have some sort of source to base the hate on....
I too, have had poor luck with my LG phone. I had one a while back, and after about 8 months, I'd charge the phone all night, and the next day an hour or two later, it would die. I exchanged battery after battery, but it was the same with all of them. I then exchanged the phone and still had the same problem. I like my Moto phones made in Ireland, you pay for cheap Taiwanese crap, and that's what you get with LG(less good).
I'd suggest using php and an sql database alongside xml/css. Professional, relativly low bandwidth, and sexy/lightweight. But that's just me. If you felt a bit sadomasochistic I suppose you could use IIS and asp.NET because if it's not.NET you're nto conforming to the microsoft group think and that's baaad very bad. All kiding aside, I've used asp and I hate it but perhaps it has practical applications, I've just yet to see them. Find what works for what you need and go with that regardless of what's "cool" or "buzzword complient" these days.
Very true. I would say two of the biggest problems we have in this country is the exportation of jobs coupled with illegal immagrants here who do cheep labor. Our business should be severly punished for doing so as it's in the nation's best intrest to employ people here even if it costs more and the companies profit a little less. We say we're serrious about keep terrorists out of this country when we can't even keep people from hopping a fence into here, it's insane.
I couldn't aggree more with you on that. It will never be fixed though and has never been fixed because it's an easy scapegoat. I wish they would fix it.
You must be new here. Don't you know that the way we solve problems here in the US of A is to divert attention. What, social security is gone? Hey, look over there, illegal immigrants are comming over from mexico, we need a few million dollars to stop them. Politicians keep a number of issues which will never be resolved for the purpose of calling attention to them when other things start going badly. It's the American way, when things stop working, blame something else and never try to fix the problem.
Looking over the release overview it looks like the only real interesting thing is that they now support the ppc platform, which is always nice for us i/power bookers out there but everything else seems a bit lack luster. Here are the new features straight from the website.

SELinux â" This release includes coverage for 80 new daemons by the targeted policy. There are changes to the handling of Booleans. The targeted policy is enabled by default. For more information, refer to:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq/
For This is the complete list of daemons covered by the targeted policy:
This is all good and nice but mostly it's just new versions of apps that are comming bundled with it. Perhaps it's just me but I don't see what all the excitment is about. Enlighten me.
True, but at least partial disclosure is right? I'm not an expert on liscenses so let me know if I'm mistaken. I would think that they would need to give back to the community in some way...
Sorry, but I gotta side with CrazyJim here on this one. I never use the browser on any of my phones just because the data service charge is so high. I'm sure it makes sense for some people but deffinitly not for most. it's not the same as asking an isp for a reuter and not exspecting to pay for bandwidth because the primary reason for use of a phone is to make phone calls. I think a lot of people have lost site of this and confuse their phones for instant messaging, camera, web browsing toys and not a device to place a call. But that's just my 2 cents.
So dosn't that mean that the Nokia 60 browser is opensource too? Wonder where I can get the source code or if they'll bother to provide it. If anyone finds a link to it let me know.
Yes. I usually spell check but I'm at work and we have cameras. If I type fast enough however because of how compressed the video has to be and time it right the camera never even takes a frame of me typing my post. I apologize for the spelling though.
I could have had the first post, but I realized that my recent ibook was effected. Went to the site and filled out the form in about 5 minutes. Deffinitly hassle free so everyone who has a relativly recient ibook 12" 14" or power book 12" should go there asap and get their free replacement battery.
Serriously dude, don't even worry about it. Nothing like this will ever pass. It's just a diversion tactic like immigration. Something that politicians keep in their back pocket to pull out when other things are going poorly. There's no sense in even paying any attention at all to 85% of the bills which are attempted to be passed in this country. You'll probably be more sane if you just ignore untill it becomes a law and then let all hell break loose.
I thought the article was more than relativly informative. Personally I love my mac and I think it's about time people stop fighting over which OS is better, use the right tool for the job, be that Linux, mac, windows, whatever. Anyways, figured I'd throw in a link to some other cool stuff about mach. http://rentzsch.com/papers/overridingMacOSX The page deals with code injection and function overriding within MAC OS X. I think something like it was on here not too long ago but it's also pretty interesting stuff, I'd suggest the read.
how can you say that sleep is only an issue with 0.01% of laptop users? The reason that I got a laptop was so that I could be mobily productive and a big part of that is being able to go a long time between charges. I imagine most people have laptops for the same reason and so it is an issue.
The whole sleep issue/ battery consumption rates is kind of a big set back for the whole linux on latops movements. I know that's the main reason that I took gentoo off of my G4 ibook. Don't get me wrong I love linux just as much as the next/.er but I get much better batery life running OS X on it ass opposed to linux and the more and more I use OS X the more I like it. Not to mention the fact that there is no airport extreme linux driver either. Those are the two really big issues that I don't see changing any time in the near future which will hold linux back on the laptop, but maybe I'll be proven wrong.
I work for a RAM manufacturing company right now. I've developed an applescript testing utility that we use to test memory on the mac laptops we have which has sped up how we used to test it...by hand...tremendiously. I also wrote a java/cocoa app to manipulate a mySQL database where we store info about all of the ram that comes / goes through our engineering department and interfaces with a twain scanner so that we have a photo of the modual attached to each record. This has really sped things up when people ask about a certaint modual we gave a customer 4 years ago as opposed to digging through THOUSANDS of hand written pages. I'm glad I took the time to do that on my own as when my 90 day review came up I was able to get a damn hefty raise for the work I had done to speed things up. Just think of the most time consuming, mundane, repetitive task which you do and try your best to efficiently automate it. I'm sure you're effort won't go unnoticed.
I might aggree with you except if I'm going to sink money into a new graphics card it might as well be pci express so I can use it when I build a new computer. But the computer I have right now just has AGP, and I'm sure by the time I'm ready to build a new computer anything I got today would be somwhat outdated anyway. I think what I'm trying to say is that unless you can afford to keep up with the gfx card market, what's the point? Just find something reliable and decent and stick with it. The market is just changing too rapidly...at least for my budget.
Things are getting somewhat out of hand as far as graphics cards. It seems like every 4-6 months there is a new line of cards out with slightly better specs in the 500 or so price range. I have a GeForce Ti4800 128mb and it runs all of my games, including doom3 and halflife two just fine. I'm not sure how people even justify the cost to them selves.
I think there ar a few routers out there capable of something like that. Check out http://www.zytrax.com/features/qos.htm look slike it might be what you're looking for.
It's silly to waste time optimizing something that dosn't require it. If there is no need you can think of for using distributed processing why bother? The key is simplicity. Robustness stems from simplicity. The more unneccesary things you add to the system, the more break points you have. Do you really want to spend all day trouble shooting a problem which is cause by something that's not needed in the first place? If you feel the need to waste time read slashdot and maybe do some coding.
I couldn't agree more. Even if they can't get Rover up and running again, which I'm sure they will, it's had a good run and garnered a wealth of new information for us. It's essential purpose has been served so regardless of the outcome it's still a good thing.
You have to see the humor in our incredibly exspensive, technical revolutionary machinery being put out of commision by some sand. Help, Rover's fallen and he can't get up.
