I did something similar to this for one account; the only difference is a period in the middle of the e-mail address. Apparently Google treats them as the same thing.
Sucks that they are losing money on their brands. Whatever, I'm not an accountant or shareholder.
What I would like, and can't find, is a list of locations that will be closing. Even on the official press release page, it just lists a bunch of the money figures and percentages of the quarter.
Anyone have any sort of ETA on when that list will be available?
Was published early August, so there may have been some changes and press releases and announcements since then, no?
I would imagine AV companies will support whoever pays, especially the annual plans.
All the people here on/. should know that most recent-ish 'Linksys' gear is supported by aftermarket firmware; DD-WRT and Tomato among others. Granted, a lot of people might not know the difference, but they run much much better than the shit that ships on them.
Hell, I'm still using a WRT54G from forever ago, and it's been online almost constantly (barring my tweaking and futzing up the install occasionally) since mid-2005. No slow-downs, no hiccups (not counting misconfigurations), etc, etc.
And this is old old MIPS with 16MB RAM, guys. You know in the newer (WRT120N was mentioned above) hardware should at the very least perform as well as previous products, if not better. But it doesn't. Flash your firmware, and see the difference. Seriously.
I'm sure if they cam pre-installed with something like Tomato, out-of-the-box, Linksys wouldn't have this weird brand identity crisis. But of course, Cisco and open-source are at polar opposites of the world, it seems.
Also, WTF Slashdot? It's 2012, please get a WYSIWYG editor, instead of arcane HTML formatting and such. Line breaks.
Uhm, 348,000,000,000 * 40 = 13,920,000,000,000....NOT 100,000,000,000
Also, 128-character passwords seem like retarded overkill, even if a system really allows it, but the paranoid will throw the tin foil hats on:)
If you are going to use the Windows Firewall, because it's preloaded and free, you can download an add-on for it called TinyWall (http://tinywall.pados.hu/) and can add applications, define what they can and can't do, with what and when. Allow certain ports via TCP/UDP? Allow certain EXEs but not others to access the network? Done.
And it's pretty easy to use, honestly. And it's super lightweight, in terms of resources. And you can prevent modifications if you want, via a password to the settings themselves. And import/export rulesets, in case you need to nuke-from-orbit!:)
SNK stuff. You know, NeoGeo, and the MVS arcade systems. Of course, for the MVS, they can charge like $.50 per play or something to get some extra funding.
But then I imagine the incredible amount of space required for a couple of these, and I just cry:(
There's Mozilla's Browser ID, which is uses nowhere....Google, Yahoo, et al seem to have been 'bundled' into the Disqus 'platform' across various sites.
I think it's more that no one wants to give up 'control' of their user data and associated metrics to a single open standard. By forcing users to continue to sign up for their 'services' they get to collect whatever they want through the use of EULAs, ToS', etc. For their own ends, of course.
I went on the site, even the ModDB page, through the forums they've got, too! What are the system requirements for this game? I understand it's based on id Tech 2/3, but that doesn't matter, being that they've added a bunch of new, modern, fun stuff!
Though the implementation they have now isn't granular enough to set loose specific sets of memory from a plug-in here, or a process there. Just a 'minimize memory' button at the bottom.
It's old(ish) hardware. Running XP on a Thinkpad T43p. Whenever I scrounge up the monies (and a newer, longer-term, better paying, job) I'll probably get a newer set of hardware. Whether that be a small-ish desktop running one of AMDs new A8 Fusion chips, or a laptop, I have not decided yet.....
I dunno what companies you've seen with their lax policies, but every single day I go into work, I do a backup. One day a week I do two. It's a 6-day rotating backup.
Then again it's a newspaper......Take that as you will.
I like that this is the direction we are headed; gov't telling private companies how it's done......
However, I would like to point out a glaring omission. These new 'rules' reports tend to forget that these numbers are for NEW vehicles. Not necessarily including vehicles already manufactured, selling, and being used day-to-day by people.
So that means the 'average' of 54.5MPG will not be reached by including the vehicles already on the road, even in 2025, most likely. They will only count the ones that are made from a certain arbitrary date, and average out certain classes of vehicle, etc, etc.
Just like now, the current 28.3MPG is only for new vehicles, though I do not know the details of that set of standards; whether they apply only to new cars, or to the whole 'fleet' of cars by auto maker x......
So, you know enough to setup a BSD and OpenLDAP, but you didn't think to ask your IT dept if they would allow such a service on the network. AND you just bought your own server and used software that may or may not be authorized by said IT Dept?
I totally understand that it's just for your small group, but if it's IT, and not secured against attacks within or without your network, you are liable, rather than the IT dept.
Granted I know it's 'only' for an electronic calendar, but couldn't you have saved some cash and time by finding an online alternative that would work across all phones your group would have? Maybe a web app of some kind?
Of course, I was referring to the general populace that buys their music from iTunes.
Bandcamp is neat-o though! Anytime I've bought from them, I've always gotten the VBR versions. And you can go back and download any other format later on some of them!
That's why we can't buy our digital audio in FLAC format. I have two rips of music here. One is FLAC, the other is MP3. The FLAC (according to the properties) was ripped as 'Perfect (lossless)' quality. The MP3 is VBR -V0 from that FLAC.
The FLAC version is 589MB, 28% compressed from the original. The MP3 is 149MB, 82% compressed from the original. And you know what? They sound the same to me. I haven't done any ABX on them, but it doesn't bother me if it's anything above VBR -4.
As I said, iPods don't support (so far, to my knowledge), FLAC. They support ALAC, which is Apples lossless format. Would you want to buy in that format instead? If you are all about lossless, and Apple offered it, would you buy it? Even if you don't have an Apple iDevice? I have an iPod Mini running Rockbox, and I can play any format they have a codec for, so I'm good, but I still stick MP3s on there, since it takes (on average) one quarter the digital bits.
While many of us have ridiculous amounts of space on our personal desktop/laptop setups, how much of that music do you actually listen to? How much do you bring with you, in case you want a personal soundtrack, or want to listen to not the radio?
What the hell are they talking about? It's all just FUD, but still...One of these days the people that come up with the ideas for just this kind of tomfoolery will be fired, and then they will have to switch careers.
When I was younger, everytime I saw a GameWorks (like, three times), I always saw a huge multitude of Sega games there. As such, I believed that Sega owned and/or created the GameWorks franchises....I didn't know they weren't already owned by Sega.
However, if they do 'rebirth' the arcade market in the US, I hope to hell that they bring it to the East Coast, as I've only ever seen GameWorks on the West Coast....
It looks like the link you posted was for a normal IDE hard drive...Maybe they have the wrong picture, or are just using a normal hard drive casing....Then again $160USD for a 32GB hard drive is quite steep so...
Slashdot Mirror
Not unexpected, especially with this Administration. But I have to ask; how does 'still in the top 10' and 'dropped to 22' make sense?

about:memory
Though the implementation they have now isn't granular enough to set loose specific sets of memory from a plug-in here, or a process there. Just a 'minimize memory' button at the bottom.
As for the OP, I'm gonna go with 'no'.
It's old(ish) hardware. Running XP on a Thinkpad T43p. Whenever I scrounge up the monies (and a newer, longer-term, better paying, job) I'll probably get a newer set of hardware. Whether that be a small-ish desktop running one of AMDs new A8 Fusion chips, or a laptop, I have not decided yet.....

Sega did not forget the room. The Product Development department just didn't tell everyone that worked there about the room.
From what I read, they have recently moved; I dunno if that whole department or all of Sega of America.
Obviously no one forgot about it, seeing as it's recently updated with PS3 games.

When I tried to go back, it kept giving me that damned error!!

They should setup a little museum and have tours!
