Odd because here in the USA it's more like: 1) DVR - $10/mo rental (Free with the larger cable packages) 2) Cable - $50/mo 3) HD Service - Usually free with the bigger cable packages, $10/mo if not 4) HBO - Usually free in the larger cable packages, or you can usually get it free if you threaten to switch to dish/at&t u-verse etc, if all else fails, it's $15/mo
One major difference is that the R815 comes with a crap service plan, vs the $1300 the R810 comes standard with. And if I/O is your bottleneck, shouldn't you be considering a R820 anyhow with it's PCIe Gen 3 interfaces, and double the drive bays? Of course this will add to the cost, but there is no AMD alternative.
Nope. The entire stack was completely rewritten for windows NT 3.5, then retro fitted into windows 95. The last versions with BSD code would have been NT 3.1 and windows for workgroups 3.12. You are correct they've made changes since then. Once to separate pieces out do checksum offloading could be done (amoung other things) and then again in vista which enabled better IP6, selective ACKS, a better congestion algorithm, large window support, etc
They will also likely be the cars that don't travel three wide and follow the rules of the road and get out of the left lane when not passing. Unless traffic conditions dictate that the two right lanes are packed, and then they will travel three wide AND move over if they detect traffic behind them that is moving faster. Odd how the laws actually work, if followed.
No. It's copying certain data without permission. I cannot fathom how anyone could perceive that as being a much more severe problem than jaywalking. They may or may not be losing potential profit, but that is all.
While I disagree with my of the new? copyright laws, this line of thinking is seriously flawed. Many things could be rationalized the same way. I'm not stealing your money, I'm just changing the 1's and 0's in your account to mine. Or I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm just printing my own money. No one will notice the perceived difference, so it is ok. You are right, no one notices when one person does it, but when everyone does, everything collapses. That's the problem. Just because someone didn't notice doesn't make it alright.
Shut up, you idiot, those are upgrade prices. How do I know, I read the Leopard license which is found here (available here: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macosx105.pdf). Here is the relevant section: 2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions. A. Single Use. This License allows you to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time.
Now, since apple has never sold a computer without an OS, it is an UPGRADE. You can not install it on any computer in which it did not already have an OS installed.
I never lambasted Microsoft for including functionality so needed that an entire market was created just to serve it. Often, MS bought out the leader of said market and integrated it into the OS, which I always thought was a reasonable thing to do. The problem with not allowing it is we'd all still be left with DOS, since the GUI would be considered one such market. As would the ability to access memory >640k. And a standard printer driver library. And a lot of other things that most people would consider a reasonable thing to put into the base OS for the greater good.
If there were significantly better 3rd party products, they would still be around. Either they weren't significantly better, or the added cost they were asking was too high for the additional benefits.
Well without looking up anything, considering you are talking about ~500 million copies of windows, and $9.99 is technically single digits, you could be talking about 5 billion dollars. That said, I think the dvd (css) licensing fees are fixed and not per copy, and it's around $50,000 for the use of the DVD logo, and $30,000 for the css license, but I'm sure I'm wrong, and this was just off the top of my head as very rough ball park figures I'd heard thrown around at some point in the past.
As recently as 10.5 you could buy an upgrade to Leopard for $129, or roughly $60 if you were an education customer. The "Family Pack" upgrade was $199. This was the model on the previous iterations as well.
What a load of rubbish. The world has long joked about America's higher than average friendly fire rate, and the reason American soldiers are hated so much more than any others is because they do not care about civilians.
If Americans didn't care about civilians, we would have just leveled the entire country. But we didn't. It sure would have been easier, cheaper and have less loss of American lives.
America's task force 343 calling down artillery strikes on civilian compounds they believed Taliban in despite being aware civilians were also likely present.
2 *possible* civilians in a compound with dozens of Taliban? Is that the incident you are referring to?
Look at the Iraqi A10 friendly fire incident where the US wouldn't even hand over gun camera footage to the British for their inquiry to find out what went wrong, let alone prosecute the pilot.
Lance-Corporal of Horse Matty Hull's family got a copy of the video, along with the formal papers regarding the incident. The two pilots involved were indeed prosecuted.
It doesn't stop there though - even cases where US soldiers have not simply been negligent, but have outright committed murder, the punishment has not even been close to good enough
And you are to be the judge of what is and is not "good enough" I suppose?
It does show your true intention when you ignore the hundreds of independent/impartial investigations showing US soldiers killing civilians unnecessarily. See how that works? the difference is, one of us has the facts on our side, naming specific example incidents that disproves the others generalising claims about how perfect the US acts in a warzone and how perfectly it carries out justice where necessary, the other is just spouting statistics that may as well be made up for all we know because they don't even cite a source. Guess who is who?
I'm not ignoring anything, but then again, I'm not cherry picking a few isolated incidents and waving them around trying to paint the entire war based on those. I realize, and have stated in this thread that there are/were and will likely always be abhorable acts in war, from every side, and the US is no exception. But I'm not picking out incidents that favor one side or the other, while you want to dive down into a few isolated incidents out of hundreds of thousands. For every incident you bring up, there is literally dozens of thousands quite the opposite.
As for sources, you can look to the IBC (Iraqi body count) group, WHO, the leaked documents by Wikileaks (Iraqi War logs), the IRAQI heath surveys, etc. IBC points to 7199 deaths of the approximately 100,000 civilian deaths being related to the US Military, with the vast majority occurring during the initial invasion (2003-2005), and quickly dropping off since then.
It's funny when Americans say this, because they often forget the French have actually won more wars than the Americans, that America was dependent on France to win it's war of indepence, and that France has a better wins:losses ratio than America to boot. Don't let that upset your ultra-patriotic nationalist world view of god awesome America though.
And it was the french who vetoed every single thing the rest of NATO wanted to push forward to try and stave off the need for war. If it was up to the french, we'd likely still be sending letters written with stern wording right up to today. So yes, I have a sore spot for how cowardly the french acted, and basically forcing a "do nothing" or "go to war" upon the US. And as for victory:loss ratio, France is 1:1 in the wars that matter, and it's been sitting on the sidelines every since (minus the few thousand token troops it sends to save face).
But instead they simply lied about Sadaam Hussein being an immediate danger to Britain and the US, with primed WMDs. A war that is founded on an illegitimate foundation is impossible to support.
Hindsight is always 20/20 isn't it? Sadaam lied about having WMDs, and the best intelligence available suggested he did. Not a perfect world, is it?
Wow, if you can't tell the difference between accidental deaths, and calculated, planned, and targeted killing of innocent civilians, I don't think there is anything else that can be said to you. I feel sorry for you that you can't tell the difference.
We're there incidents of gross negligence? Sure. It happens in war, every war, by every side. The fact that there is evidence proves that it isn't being suppressed or silenced. Those responsible will be held accountable in a trial.
It does show your try intention when you are willing to believe the few cases of what the us did wrong, but you dismiss the work of hundreds of independent/impartial (as close as can be) investigations into the cause of civilian casualties that point out the vast number were not attributable to the us military.
Do you believe that your country, no matter which, if put in the same war would have done better? Well, except the French because they would have unconditionally surrendered, of course.
I'm sorry mr anon coward, not even have the balls to put your name to your stupidity? I suppose you think it is better to sit by and watch as millions of civilians are slaughtered and do nothing at all because war is ugly. You must be French.
Well. It's a million that sad dam killed over 24 years in power. It's 14,000 that the us military killed in collateral damage in 7 years. Do I need to do the math for you?

Fixed that for you

Actually, they can search your car for "speeding". The interior, the glove box, but NOT the trunk.
Actually, it is an arrest.
Microsoft's TCP/IP kernal hasn't been based on the BSD code since Windows 3.5, nearly 20 years ago.

Well by that measure, it'd be ok to just kill 32 million iraqis, that'll stop the infighting. Or is 1 million ok, and 32 million bad?
Saddam killed a million. The US killed 14,000 accidentally.
Do nothing, watch another million die. Do something, and cause the death of 14,000. You choose which is the worse course of action.
