With Clearwire, you are limited to 10GB / month (after the first 2 of you being their customer) before you are throttled down to 256Kbps.
Going with one of their business plans will up that to 25GB, but that still isn't all that much before you find yourself with a phone that no longer goes ring, ring, ring.
I mean seriously, I have yet to meet a single developer who can sit down in front of *any* code and state that it meets their standards.
More often than not, I have seen developers sit down to their own code a few years later and say "Whoever wrote this is a moron. This will need to be completely redone."
As much as I personally object to the implementation of Facebook and how the masses seem to regard it as the be-all, end-all source for communicating, playing games and generally dicking around, I completely agree that the dissemination of information is generally for the greater good.
Enabling people to openly speak their minds and to enable reform to happen within their governments when they object to the way that things are being run has been shown to create dialogs to enable peaceful change to happen.
When such opinions and discussions are forced to be kept in secret, the only action that can be taken is out of anger and violence, and as the mighty Yoda once said: "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
Yeah... Roosevelt was a prick for thinking of putting the Federal Communications Commission in charge of communications instead of some faceless corporation...
We should just leave it with the Department of Homeland Security; they are doing such an awesome job right now.
With Cisco, End-of-Life and End-of-Support are two wildly different things...
To Cisco, End-of-Life means "no more updates", while End-of-Support means "you can call us up for help, and we will provide you with a replacement unit if yours fails".
End-of-Support is typically 5 years after the End-of-Life announcement, however there are the random exceptions like their VPN Concentrators.
There are *many* 6 year old Cisco routers and switches out there that are still covered under support contracts that won't be getting IPv6 support as they have been End-of-Life'd.
Consider for a moment that many of these same ISPs are the ones who elect to throttle their users to 256Kbps if they go above their 5GB monthly usage limit.
Smaller ISPs are already going in and double-natting their customers as well to further over-subscribe their network and get by with less.
Home ISPs will likely continue ignoring this problem for years to come, until the eventual hardware swaps enables them to support IPv6 and then have a reason to start billing their customers more for "now with public IPs to improve your gaming performance".
Right... Unlimited from a company that says "you can use up to 1GB per day, or 15GB per month on a home connection, or you will be throttled to 256Kbps Down / 1Mbps Up".
Or, you can use 500MB per day, or 10GB per month on their Aircards, after which you will be throttled.
Fedora and Ubuntu appeal to two completely different crowds.
Ubuntu is for those who want everything to work, even if not perfectly. They include proprietary drivers strait off their install discs for the purpose of making all hardware within your computer work on first boot. Ubuntu and Debian take a lot of pride in Apt as well, as a way to reduce the pain of dependency tracking for your normal users who just want to get Cinelerra or other useful linux apps that are rarely ever included running.
Fedora is for those who really enjoy tinkering, who want to be bleeding-edge. A lot of time, the non-standard apps won't run without some significant tweaking, and even Redhat says that you will need to recompile the kernel to avoid some hard limits on Disk I/O, however they make doing all of these tasks very easy, because they maintain very large repos and provide you with your development tools strait off the disk.
Seems more likely that Mr. Majed was already in custody for previous offenses prior to the exception being enacted. As such, as far as the law is concerned, the agency holding Mr. Majed is in the right.
As far as I see the situation, as soon as the acts that 'did not cause harm to others' (quote from article) ceased to be a crime, he should have been released as he was simply being held on those charges, and prosecution had not yet commenced.
Who would have thought that a first-release Beta kernel module would not run as fast or be as reliable as the stable implementation for other operating systems, or the stables on Linux?
Not technically. The article doesn't explicitly state whether this was a feed on a server "intended to be public", or something internally that was accessible via the internet due to an oversight by Canal Plus. For example, if you can only get to something by IP Address, it can be implied that it is not "intended" to be public as it was not added to a public facing DNS Server.
However, the fact of the matter is that if Canal Plus considered the access to be unauthorized to their server, they should have implemented the necessary changes on their network to restrict access to a server that was incorrectly made available when they believe that it should not have been. Would be so much easier and more cost efficient than bringing a lawsuit against an individual for "finding" a link to their feeds on a Web Server.
Apple showed non-app-store Applications within their Launchpad.
However, yes... Apple is saying that for them to distribute Updates on your behalf without you paying for your bandwidth or order processing, than you need to provide them with their 30% figure.
Yes, they have bad terms outlined in their Acceptance Agreements. Yes, it is certainly going to be anti-competitive. Yes, it is going to promote more "dumb" apps like we have on the iPhone. Yes, we acknowledge that many of the "useful" apps would be outright rejected from the App Store...
The take-away is that for Developers where the new model isn't a good fit, just keep doing precisely what you are doing today.
Increasing the carbon density within these forms of trees would create even stronger woods. These would have significant benefits in terms of construction as the materials would be less able to sustain various forms of insect life, such as beetles. The new composite wood-carbon mixture should then have increased longevity, much like the process undertaken in pressed woods, where the material has fewer fracture points.
Not that there aren't plenty of "negatives" to go along with this if we began implementing these changes. Particularly, look at cross-pollination. Various forms of pine trees are known to cross-pollinate with other trees up to 75 miles away. Theoretically, if these new forms of trees were not properly segmented from the existing ecosystem than introducing these genetically altered trees could significantly alter the ecosystem.
Beyond the influence that social services offer in terms of affecting votes, they also enable for politicians to keep a pulse on the nation in a real-time basis.
All that one needs do is watch the Twitter trending topics to see the overwhelming feelings that the masses have about a situation actively playing out in the media. (Did you see the #bp fiasco on Twitter?)
Social networking services are the new Guerrilla and Viral Marketing campaigns as they get those passionate about a subject to keep a topic alive.
The revolution won't be "tweeted", but those tweets will make their way directly onto broadcast television, radio and every other aspects of our lives.
If there is any doubt to this, look at CNN broadcasting a twitter ticker on the footer of their broadcasts, or NPR actively reading tweets for questions that come in for their interviews.
People bash Microsoft for one simple reason... They have an amazing ability to find truly new and unique ways of screwing up on a daily basis, and then telling the world "that isn't a bug, that is a feature."
They have taken the act of writing software, elevated it to an artform, got cocky with the whole elitist attitude that comes with wold domination and now finds it's glory days a distant memory.
More and more often, their products wind up being stripped of highly touted functionality, is horribly rushed to the point that quality suffers drastically, subject to random crashes and failures that are impossible for your average user to repair, and in turn is only fixed months if not years after the fact through major redesigns.
Of course there is something to be said for being first to market, but they have lost consumer good will making their purchases more a matter of necessity of immediacy instead of legitimate desire, even by Microsoft's own admission through their discussions on the 360 and Vista's launch failures.
At least the default kernel in Ubuntu isn't intentionally crippled by its developers to make sure that using any kind of RAID5 or RAID10 card results in severe slowdowns systemwide.
You can not say that about anything that has come out from Red Hat. (Yes, this does apply to the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server AS, their EL Workstation, all the way back to Red Hat 7 when they adopted the 2.6 kernel as the default installation.
Check their official support forums. Red Hat's solution is "go to www.kernel.org, download a complete snapshot, compile it, modify your boot loader configuration file to point to the new kernel, restart the computer. The problem with raid cards has been resolved."
By definition, OEM software is linked to the computer in use (not the user).
According to the Microsoft Licensing Agreement, the computer designation is classified on the processor that is in use. That being the case, if you buy an eMachines, Gateway, HP, Compaq, Dell, etc. computer and swap out the processor, you can no longer legally use the OEM license that you had.
Morally, you are just fine as you are using software that you have legally purchased several times over...
However legally, you are both literally and figuratively fucked.
Yes, actually. The BSA is offering bounties to sell out your friends, family, coworkers and ex-employers.
Max payout that they are offering is $10,000.
