However, HAMMER is not a drop-in replacement FS. I understand it requires specific functionality of the Dragonfly kernel to work. Porting to other OS's, even other BSDs, will be difficult although apparently some people are trying.
True, but as I also posted, I searched the internet for an answer and numerous people not able to enable these features even with access to the BIOS. They had contacted Lenovo directly (in fact, it was a Lenovo support site) and were promised a solution (updated BIOS) and it didn't come.
What I can personally verify is the VT extensions are disabled. From what I saw on the Lenovo site, it's not possible to enable this without a non-existant upgraded BIOS. I can't explain why some people with T400's have VT extensions disabled. I doubt my company's IT dept. has a VT policy and decided to disable it by default, but I can surely confirm this easily.
I tried 2-3 weeks ago when I installed Virtualbox. I couldn't get very far in the BIOS manager, all the good stuff is behind a password. I can't tell if the password is from the factory or my company's IT department.
However, I read on various forums that people had the same issue and were unable to activate via BIOS. I have a Core2Duo T9400 2.5Ghz CPU.
Between virtual technology and Windows 7, it seems to me that a lot of people are going to "need" this soon, so disabling by default (if you have a choice) doesn't seem wise.
Crippled. One can't turn on the feature, seems to be an issue with the BIOS.
If VT extensions worked on the Lenovo Thinkpad T400, why would Lenovo turn this feature off by default? They wouldn't, unless they had a technical reason (e.g issue) to do so.
The virtual technology extensions of my Lenovo Thinkpass T400 has also been intentionally crippled. Sony isn't the only company making bad decisions with higher-end laptops.
I guess I don't understand the facts of the case. I read the article and nowhere does it state or imply that the officer planted the gun. The defendant said that in his defense; this was probably a lie.
My interpretation is that all the events happened as documented, but because of all the oral diarrhea the officer was spewing on facebook, the guilty man got off because his lawyer convinced enough of the jury that the cop *might* have been dirty.
Who's buying the new technology? I'm sure Lockheed will gladly make such an exoskeleton for peaceful purposes as soon as purchase orders from civilian entities come in.
If the military is the only customer for the technology, you can't complain that Lockheed is marketing it with it's military applications.
And lay off the political shit, everyone's had enough of Obama the Chosen. Tell us how special he is after 3 years of service to the country, thanks.
The fact that you seem to be ignoring is that the torrent servers exist outside of The Pirate Bay. TPB could close tomorrow and every single torrent on every single torrent server continues to churn.
If you want to continue this inane door analogy, it would be closer to this: There are counterfeit operations occurring all over the planet at the same time and TPB pirates a Google Map of the address complete with complete details of the operation (the type of currency, who has got the original plates, who is generating perfect copies by mosiac and who can help the others complete the picture).
All that goes on with TPB's help. To call them "accessories" is flat out wrong.
I've looked at the native chrome tools and I know they exist, but the firefox extensions are better. Opera also has some developer tools built in. I also write all my web pages in XHTML strict, so I rely on another firefox extension that validates markup on the fly.
Firefox is still the best for me when it comes to web development tools.
If Mozilla knows about it, they need to fix it regardless of the number of people affected. I can not believe they are simply unaware of a problem that has been there since the beta. The same computers that do this with FF3 do not exhibit the same issue with FF2. This happens too often to too many people I know including myself not to have made it back to Mozilla. I suspect some FF fanboys are conveniently not mentioning this when they run up against it. And I have seen it talked about on Slashdot. Don't forget, I'm also not the one that brought this up, the OP did.
Come on. You're positioning that it's not a real problem because you've never seen it. Hello, Kettle.
If it happened to 4% of the population, it has to be fixed. It's a major, unacceptable bug. I'm guessing from your comment that you don't think 4% is significant. Anything over 1% probably is significant.
Yet I know multiple people that confirm what I see, a large percentage of the people that I know that use firefox. I didn't claim it happened to everyone, but I am suggesting it happens to a significant percentage of people. Most computer illiterate people would think their computer locked up and reboot to fix it.
I agree, although I had Opera ranked over FF for casual browsing. I only used FF for it's web developer tools and firebug. Now I have made the move to Chrome for casual browsing, so now FF is in 3rd place.
Where Chrome is really better than opera is closing down. I can have 20 tabs open in Chrome and when I close the application, I recover all the memory pretty much instantly. Opera needs about 2-3 minutes where it actually takes more memory (e.g. jumps from 170MB to 210MB ram) before finally closing down internally. As I mentioned elsewhere, FF in windows normally just crashes upon closing, taking 100% CPU usage and requiring killing from the task manager. Therefore I use it as little as possible.
Adblock is not a dealbreaker. I have it installed in FF but it's normally off. The sites I visit don't require blocking ads. I won't visit a site so obnoxious that it would require adblocking to be functional.
The 100% CPU usage issue where you have to open the task manager to kill the process manually while your computer grinds to a halt after closing FF3?
I also get this about 9 of 10 times and my partner does too. Why there isn't a bigger outrage over this BS after they forced us to move to FF3, I'm not sure. In my mind, they had no right to force the end of life of FF2 until *this* bug is fixed, and I've seen very few people even talk about it.
The DMCA is a US law. The Pirate Bay is under no obligation, neither moral nor legal, to respect DMCA takedown notices. The Pirate Bay is not subject to US law.
As for the copyright violation, the basis of the defense is that Pirate Bay is not responsible in the case that copyright violation is occurring. They aren't guilty themselves of the violation and they certainly don't need to assist any "law enforcement" in either supporting the DMCA or tracking down the actual culprits.
Let's say I were a 19 year old american and I visit Germany and enjoy a beer in a Bavarian beer garden. The girl at the next table speaks good english learned from her school year abroad in the USA and very well knows our federal drinking age limit. She witnesses me, a 19 year-old, violate US law by consuming a beer in Munich.
According to your logic, Dagmar should assist my home state police in arresting me for breaking US law.
Oh wait, I was in Germany where it is not against the law for 19 year olds to consume alcohol.
He did not say that. Obviously the street-seller engaged actively in copyright infringement, either copying it himself or distributing physical copies.
If you cross me on the street asking about bootlegs, and I point you in the direction of the street-seller, am I guilty of aiding copyright infringement? Most reasonable people don't think so.

Sorry, the idiot blast wasn't warranted.
However, HAMMER is not a drop-in replacement FS. I understand it requires specific functionality of the Dragonfly kernel to work. Porting to other OS's, even other BSDs, will be difficult although apparently some people are trying.
You do realize you're a complete idiot, right?
What an ignorant thing to say. Dragonfly BSD split from FreeBSD 4.8 more than 5 years ago and it has evolved far on its own.
Enough so that backporting HAMMER to FreeBSD is not trivial (if even possible) due to architectural differences.
Stop spreading BS about a good project.

Crippled. One can't turn on the feature, seems to be an issue with the BIOS. If VT extensions worked on the Lenovo Thinkpad T400, why would Lenovo turn this feature off by default? They wouldn't, unless they had a technical reason (e.g issue) to do so.

typo correction: "pirates a Google Map" should be "provides a Google Map"

It's a windows thing. It doesn't happen on my BSD or Solaris machines. I did say "task manager".

Do you see the analogy?
I especially liked when he suggested it was the Pirate Bay's DUTY to assist the media companies in identifying links to copyrighted material.
Bingo. My thoughts exactly.
He did not say that. Obviously the street-seller engaged actively in copyright infringement, either copying it himself or distributing physical copies.
