No, it's, here do whatever you want so long as you use exclusively our products, otherwise we will make life painful for you (from DR-DOS and Lotus on). They're very similar to Apple in some domains like music or entertainment, which makes a nonsense of your 'we are licensing this to you...' line on Apple. See Xbox, and PlaysForSure.
Huh, I guess I got a goofy copy of it or something. I use firefox, inkscape, scribus, gimp, VLC, Opera, Itunes, putty, psftp, pscp, python and a whole slew of other open-source or designed-for-linux ported-to-windows apps on my XP machine and it hasn't complained once!
In FACT!! Whats odd is that some of these apps seem to run better on my windows machine than they do on any of my linux or BSD machines!
There was one time where I even installed Flash instead of silverlight..don't tell microsoft, i would hate for them to come and give me whatever copy of windows you're using.
Apple's share of the portable music market is something like 70%, so it is a far bigger stretch to suggest that they have monopoly power in that market, but I have conceded the point for the sake of my prior post.
Apple's share of the market for manufacturers of PCs that are allowed to run OSX is 100%. Psystar tried to enter the market, and Apple is (last time I checked pystar is still taking orders) trying to sue them into non-existence in order to maintain their 100% market share.
You may wish to re-check the definition of "Monopoly".
Apple's products are vastly superior to Microsoft's.
How so? I have run windows xp and several different linuxes on my laptops and desktops, as well as having used Mac OS pretty extensively. Windows XP wins hands down every single time. What are you using your Mac for that makes it so superior to a windows machine?
Microsoft has been convicted of anti-trust violations in federal court. Apple has not.
Courts are now the deciders for quality of tech?
Apple's monopoly power is in the portable music market. Microsoft's is in the desktop operating system market.
Apple's monopoly power is also in the hardware-that-is-allowed-to-run-Mac-OSX department.
Microsofts policy is "Here, do whatever you want with this so long as you buy it". Apple's policy is "We are licensing this to you. You have no rights to use it for anything other than what we explicitly declare and you better not fucking try to develop for it because we will sue you in to oblivion."
How, seriously, is Apple any better than anything else?
Also, how can they test this? The only way to properly test something like this is to let it out in the wild for a decade or two. That's not something you can imitate in a testing room.
You forget the the NSA pretty much recruits the best and brightest hackers that the world has to offer. Their policy of "we don't have a budget" and the oppurtunity to work on the absolute cutting edge (and actually see it put to use) is pretty much the most kickass thing that you can offer somebody who has a passion for knowledge.
I could be misinformed about this, but from a little googling, it looks like the red will lenses that were intended for use on DSLR cameras.
$1000 bucks and you've bought yourself some nice glass. Keep in mind that nikon has been making lenses with the same mount for the last ~50 years. Some of them can be had for CHEAP on ebay.
Jeez mods. There was a discussion the other day about why the new Nikon D90 was (and the 40D) were NOT a replacement for the RED. I was misinformed about the sensor in the RED, but the 40d and the D90 are STILL not replacements for it. My comment still stands, it was NOT a troll.
The sensor in a digital still camera serves a different purpose than the one in a video camera. Using a digital still camera for video results in something called "jello-cam". Watch this video (or any video with fast motion in it show with a DSLR) for an example of what I'm talking about.
I wasn't trolling, I was misinformed about the sensor in the Red.
I hope you're not comparing the video capabilities of your 40D (which has a CMOS sensor) to the Red (which has a CCD sensor). The former is great for taking youtube videos of your cat, the later is great for creating films.
I think what happened in Monticello, MN with the city laying down their own fiber when TDS telcom (the local telco) refused to is definitely a step in that direction...
Those machines are not on the internet, they connect to the internet.
Probably(hopefully) a troll, but I'll bite.
There is no "internet". There is only progressively smaller networks. The ISPs all own their own networks, they communicate with one another via an IBX, or a "meet-me-room". Your company's LAN is a network just like theirs, only smaller (well...depending on what company you work for..some can get to the size of a small ISP). The fact that you don't have an agreement with your ISP to route their traffic to your machines does not mean that they are not part of "the internet".
Think about it like this:
There is an office building, each floor is a separate company. Each company runs their own network. After a while, a couple of the companies decide that they should share information with one another, so they do. They connect their networks to one another and start routing between them. Things are good. Now a few more companies jump on board, before you know it, 40 out of the 50 networks in the building are all talking to one another. THAT is the internet.
Sir, Your rational viewpoint on this matter is not welcome, nor appreciated. It is a FACT, sir, a FACT that his Holiness Master Barack the Obama is the direct descendant of Father Darwin himself. When was the last time you saw an astrologer? Or an herbalist? I suggest that you chew something natural immediately. Have you SEEN the videos on the youtube? Have you SEEN them? They are there and they prove beyond any reasonable ammount of suspicion what has been told by the great and merciful truth-teller Keith Olbermann: George BUSH, George BUSH IS THE DEVIL! He is evil. Pure Evil. GEORGE BUSH IS EVIL! Okay? That is a fact, a FACT that George Bush is EVIL! Why would you argue with that? Why would you argue with a FACT?! His Holiness Barack the Obama IS our savior. He is our savior. He is here...to SAVE US, TO SAVE US from the EVIL George bush. He is our savior.
Opening a closed but not locked door and entering a building without permission is still against the law. It is called breaking and entering.
This analogy is so wrong and it needs to die. It is the same one that is used in arguments about the legality of using open WiFi APs.
Securing an AP, or a windows share is so trivial that NOT doing so is an implicit invitation to use the resources.
A BETTER analogy would be "Entering an unfenced grassy area that is marked as 'Public Park' is NOT against the law since the sign declaring it as 'public' and the lack of any obvious attempts to keep anyone out imply that it is for public use".
We're talking about a windows share here. One that had no security on it. A share. A directory in the tree that an administrator has decided to give access to. This is not a default, this is not something that nobody knew about, there was no hacking, some admin decided to share the directory.
A better analogy is "My neighbor bought and empty lot and built a pool on it. He then erected a bunch of signs saying 'Public, please use and enjoy!', bought some advertising on a local television station, and bought billboards on the route between the pool and the nearest highway telling people how to get to it. The neighbor actually didn't want anybody other than him and his family to use to pool, so I pointed out to him that he was advertising it as public and was charged with a felony".
Well than why do I keep getting legally punished for challenging the majority's opinion that someone can somehow "own" something and that all thing's aren't everyone's?
If you live in the United States, you don't.
You WILL, however, get punished for depriving somebody of their goods, or infringing upon their copyrights.
I think the implication here is that a couple of geeks did this in their office. Previously, the NSA could do it (as well as every other intelligence gather org, i'm sure), but they employ lots and lots and lots of PHDs, and have an unlimited budget.
This IS really scary because now its mainstream.
Think ATMs. I've never had the opportunity to take one apart, but I would be interested to find out if the mag-stripe reader and keypad are also vulnerable to this sort of attack.
Not to mention blood diamond, or body of lies, or the departed.
There are a lot of good actors that just get typecast into shitty roles. Watch the movie "Southland Tales", it has Justin Timberlake, Sean William Scott and The Rock in it. It is one of the best movies I've seen in a LONG time.
Hopefully Adobe will see enough rewards from doing this that will encourage them to embrace the Linux platform even more.
What benefits does Adobe see from giving away their player for free? I get it, they sell the development software, or license it out to sites like hulu or youtube.
Why the hell have they not just fully opened up the player? I mean...they should be completely kissing the ass of the Linux/Unix folks in the hopes that somebody will come out with a standalone box that jacks into hulu or youtube and connects to your television.
The great unwashed masses hardly vote rationally. Witness the "P.U.M.A"s who were for Clinton but now plan to vote McCain (a diametric opposite) simply because Clinton losing hurt their feelings.
Or the Ron Paul supporters who are now voting for Obama./was a Ron Paul supporter//voting for McCain///you guys can all kiss my ass, have fun voting for your cheerleader. This is a goddamned presidential election, not a popularity contest. You idiots remind me class president elections in high school.
The thing I never understood is how do you get everyone watching at the same time? If Antonia starts at 8:00, and Bob starts at 8:04, how is a multicast going to help?
It would work exactly the same way that a television does.
That is, a television with several [hundred] gigabytes of storage space, and [usually] over a gig of memory. You'd be able to cache it.
Say I own a widget company...i want to sell my widgets!! I know of this thing called "internet" that a lot of people are using, and decide that I need to utilize it to sell my widgets.
Do I just google for "email marketing"? Do I contact an advertisement agency? Is there ANY sort of legitimacy involved in spam trafficking?
Do these spammers operate like real live businesses? Can I demand statistics on penetration from them? Do they have offices with receptionists and accountants and shitty corporate art?
Find me a radius client that will run on my 1990s era Intermec handhelds and I'll buy it. Find me some wireless handhelds with GOOD barcode readers that have a 5250 client and the ability to run a Radius client (or a VPN client) and I'll buy those.
Slashdot Mirror
I am completely fine with them doing this as long as they use the FSV and somehow get unix to run on a thinking machines.

Yeah, and I run an open access point with the SSID hidden called "secret_awesome".
I feel like its the least I can do to help any new geeks in the area :).

You're either a brilliant troll, or you're got your head really REALLY far up your asshole.
Either way, good show.
Btw, in case it is the latter. The "checks and balances" you speak of disappear when one party controls the house, the senate, and the white house.

Not if Bob's client has the ability to cache the stream as it is coming in.
