I think c'T is the closest thing resembling Byte magazine at its peak.
Used to subscribe to it when I lived in Sweden (both to keep my german language reading skills fresh and to enjoy the articles that tended to go into fascinating depth). Nowadays I tend to pick the latest copy whenever I pass through a german airport.
It's also a steal at 3.90 EUR for 200+ pages. And it's bi-weekly, not monthly.:)
I'm a European. I recently tried netflix using a multi-hosted VPN supplier. After all the hype I had been reading online I was sorely disappointed. It was very hard to find a movie that I would like to watch (again).
And then there was the technical execution. Silverlight? For real?
And not just silverlight.. it needs to load hundreds of thumbnails before it wants to start playing to stream, so that seeking can be done in a more pleasing way. Nice thought, except loading those damn thumbnailds takes several minutes...
I give this service a grade 2 out of 5. Meanwhile, you americans should check out Spotify, since it actually delivers...
So if your employer wrote down in a policy that employees were not allowed to breathe, and you then read that policy, and also presumably violated, that would be fair grounds for dismissal?
The reported issues with Opera Mini 3.0 running on Palm Treos have now been fixed, and a new build (.prc file) that works better is now available at http://www.operamini.com/.
The CPU usage of a modern desktop UI is very burst-like. These bursts are typically triggered by user activity. Most of the the time, the system is idling. Because these bursts seldom overlap, you usually don't that much performance by having two CPUs.
This fee isn't meant to pay for illegal copying. It's purpose is to compensate for one of the legal exceptions to the law: it is, and it will continue to be, legal to create copies of copyrighted material for private purposes.
I.e., it is perfectly legal to burn a few copies of the CD you just bought and give to family members.
There is also a "common sense" clause in the new law that gives a court right to lower the fee "in case" fast technical evolution makes the fee unreasonable.

Maybe a follow-up to this 2009 Samsung model?
There are cheaper/better places to manufacture than India.
I'm guessing avoiding India's relatively steep import tariffs is a pretty big part of this decision.

The article implies the policy was not active when he joined.
Wow. I didn't think it was that bad even in the US. (My perspective is mostly European.)

"Policies" are not laws.

Please download the new build and give it a go!

48V DC hardware is expensive, because it's "enterprisey". Probably even more expensive than the extra cost for the inefficies in commodity hardware.

Servers, on the other hand...
