  1. Re:"With the exception of Apple" on Bypass Windows With Fast-Boot Technology · · Score: 1

    I think this is called safe sleep. OS X writes a memory image to the disk when the lid is closed. If you remove the battery after the sleep, it will just wake-up using the image on the disk.

    Maybe supporting two architectures require extra work for the OS X development at the moment, so they may want to transition to a single architecture as soon as possible.

  3. Re:Turkey not so bad on Kremlin Seeks to Control Online Media · · Score: 1

    I am aware of the freedom of speech issues in Turkey and I am not really happy with the situations. I want the TCK 301 to be abolished permanently and I want to see more improvements in other areas also. My point is this: There are issues with freedom of expression and more. But it is going for better, not for worse. It was only 6 years ago when people were arrested and tortured regulary, military judges were trying civilians in courts, and people would frequently 'go missing' under police custody. I and many other people wish for better but it is not going to happen if people distort reality and does not recognise the improvements.

    You were not modded down because of 'insult to Slashdottedness'. You were modded down because you didn't read the 301 article from Wikipedia and you made claims that the Turkish government is mass blocking every website that has some info on a controversial topic in Turkey. I prepared much of the article on 301 on tr.wikipedia.org. I am aware that many people were tried over their thoughts (or expressions) on the Armenian genocide. But, there is no single person who has not been acquitted in courts related to this issue. Last person who was tried was Tamer Akcam, a scholar that defends Armenian genocide, and he was acquitted because the judge thought that `freedom of expression` gives him the right to do so. And about blocking sites: This is how the procedure works AFAIK. Somebody complains about the source of the information to a court. If the court decides on an injunction Turkey's ISPs are informed about the site and the site is blocked. Every blocked site also shows up on users' browser as a page that details the court order and the date. Again, in the last 5 years the only site that was blocked through this procedure was youtube. Otherwise people are freely accessing the Internet over there, (till another injunction of course).

  5. Re:Not surprising, really on Turkish Assembly Votes For Censoring of Web Sites · · Score: 1

    Could you please cite a source? I know that people are tried for mentioning genocide but nobody in the last 5 years have been jailed for doing so, i.e. all defendant were acquitted. The last person tried for this was acquitted by the judge who mentioned freedom of expression in his decision.

    I don't see how trade benefits are related to the EU accession. AFAIK Turkey is already in a customs union with the EU. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union-Turkey _Customs_Union ) . Sure customs union does not cover the agriculture area but country's most profitable exports are automotive and textile at the moment.

    As of today, the court reversed its decision on the YouTube ban after YouTube pulled down the videos in question.
