Sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on a person's sex. I'm all for firing employees who do not stop behaving like that towards colleagues (after appropriate warnings).
But two guys making dongle jokes at a conference is not sexism.
I subsumed "replacing" under "fixing", just like I do with anything that is sufficiently broken in my house. I am surprised by these problems, I used a number of different routers in the past 10 years and never had a problem, much less as frequent as the GP. In fact I agree that having lights that depend on working wifi is maybe not the best idea, but it seems weird to complain about it based on an obviously broken router. It's like saying that all electric household appliances are stupid and useless, based on having a shitty electricity provider.
I can't think of anything worse than a bulb that's at the mercy of your WiFi router. My router falls over roughly twice a week and needs rebooting. Congratulations, you just took one of the most reliable appliances in the home and made it grotesquely unreliable. That's real progress...right there.
But, then, how is anyone else to know about the dwarf. From the viewer's perspective the dwarf doesn't exist.
True, unless the viewer at some point can examine the scene. (Photos and videos from a multitude of other sources, especially earlier ones. Granted, this works better with backgrounds less ambulatory than dwarfs)
For that matter, dwarfs might not even exist at all!
Might. All you know is that you haven't observed one:p
It doesn't know, but if this works like Photoshop's content aware fill, it can convincingly fake the rest of the wall. That being said, it's my experience that older, manual methods, usually work better.
Surely the person has to move far enough across the static background to reveal at last in one frame what's behind the person? I mean, if I'm standing in front of a dwarf for the whole duration of the video, how is the software to know about the dwarf?
Obviously there are games having more than 8 GB content, and obviously they won't stream a level from the SSD. That's not what this is for. If you play it a lot, sectors that are read a lot may end up on the SSD. Which is kind of the point.
Did you read the link? Making them paranoid is part of the point. And I didn't say that it does in the first place: the guy I replied to gave a list of results, apparently meaning that they are bad results, and I just said that these would be exactly what Assange wanted according to the linked essay.
No measureable change that has been acknowledged publicly. A lot of government organizations have tightened their grip, though. New security policies, programs that allow and encourage coworkers to report potential security risks, more thorough background checks and monitoring of access to data just to name a few.
Since Monday, when they found it wrong that Ubuntu will address the concerns that the same people had (correctly) demanded for the past year or so? I don't think so.
I don't know why you are posting if you can't stand replies asking you to substantiate wild claims you made based on nothing (as you have demonstrated since),
First of all, this does not answer my question what exactly it is that makes it "need cloud storage" to work. Even if we accept that Ubuntu "pushes" cloud storage, what is it about the desciption that makes you think it would require it?
Never mind that all that Ubuntu does with cloud "storage" is to offer you a 5 GB Ubuntu One account when installing the OS, which you simply can ignore or disable. And even if you are opposed to the Dash search (which also utilizes remote servers, though not for cloud storage) and that's what you actually complained about, I can't see what it is about the description that would make it "need" that, either.
I don't think there is a lack of shortcuts, in fact I find that Unity has the best and most accessible shortcut system for window management of any UI I've used. Press and hold the Super key for the overview.
I'm really surprised, this story has by far the smallest ratio of irrational Ubuntu hate posts of any Ubuntu story in the past year. This must mean that Shuttleworth is onto something - and in fact I do find it difficult to find major flaws with the stuff he said in TFA. I found the whole idea appealing from the start, and if this plan works out, I'll be the first in line to get an Ubuntu TV, phone, tablet, laptop, and/or whatever I have to buy to finally get seamless free software-based unification for my devices from phone to TV.

I am not the GP, but all German premium brands have it at least as an option, usually even down to the small models.
True, I meant I could see a reason for firing employees if they behave unprofessionally at a conference where they represent the company.
That is, if they keep it between themselves (as I think they did).

Fix your router?

Yeah, figured as much but, it's early here :)
Background has to be static for it to work.
Nevertheless, an interesting accomplishment.

Its unlikely that many of your games will end up on the cache seeing as its only 8 GB.
You don't know how this works. The firmware recognizes individual HD sectors that are frequently read, and transparently copies them to the SSD.

Which would be a very big success for Assange.
I guess its practical application is 30 years away.

You know, I just asked a simple question. If you had a point, you would have made it and I might have agreed and learned something.

How exactly does it sound as if it needed cloud storage to work?
