Actually, I think CBS should be cleared in this. They sought permission from who they thought held the rights. The song book publisher should have deferred if they didn't properly hold the rights, but that wasn't on CBS. I know in the eyes of the court, it's not important (kinda like receiving stolen property), but CBS at least put forth effort.
That being said, the actual license terms will come into play. They may have received "all" rights to publish the song which may or may not have included show rights.
It's versioned.......and cloned.......and forked. Good luck with that.
I think it's funny (ironic, not ha ha) that many of the people espousing Open Source as being perfect are generally the same ones that have the biggest desire for digital privacy. And because of their push for OSS, they will be some of the first to lose their privacy.
** I think OSS has it's place, as does closed source. I also have a desire for some privacy but recognize that I have to give up some of that privacy in order to have some level of convenience. But I'm not an extremist in either direction for either spectrum.
Using the cache interface gives your application three advantages:
Offline browsing - users can navigate your full site when they're offline Speed - resources come straight from disk, no trip to the network. Resilience - if your site goes down for "maintenance" (as in, someone accidentally breaks everything), your users will get the offline experience
Look into the offline manifest. I've written a Cordova nee PhoneGap app that uses the offline manifest to cache the app and relevant data. You have to be online the first time to download everything, but then it will work just fine in airplane mode. Once a connection is reestablished, it will sync data and even self-update.
This app won't pass iOS certifcation, but can be sideloaded just fine. And since it's PhoneGap, it works on other platforms, too.
There is one missing piece of the puzzle, and that is getting a phone to handle heavy GPU tasks. This is easy. Since MS has their own graphics standard, it would be trivial for them to make something like a LAN version of OnLive, and have smartphones and tablets send the DirectX commands over the network to a render box, and the render box send back streaming video. Since 4k res of streaming video is about 10Mbps, a wireless LAN can easily handle this. If one uses a newer graphics protocol like ZPEG which gets even better compression for the same quality, it would be even less.
Doesn't the Xbox already have a similar capability where some games offload their computation to a central server?
The videos show how to replace the part and also how to check the part to see if it's good or not. It still takes a little bit of work figuring out which parts you need to check, but the videos are very detailed. I usually start with a search for my symptoms and read forum posts saying what to check. Then I use these videos to figure out how to check them.
Step by step on diagnosis and repair.....even I (not highly mechanical) could follow. Plus, their prices are very competitive and other than parts that I needed "immediately", I have no issue paying a little more considering the detailed info they provided.
Any camera that supports Magic Lantern firmware. While not an official upgrade path, there are many features available in more expensive cameras that were unlocked via the Magic Lantern firmware.....so the device itself is capable even if the manufacturer doesn't enable it.
Same can be said of routers supporting DD-WRT et al. The hardware supports the features but the provided firmware doesn't enable it.
I wonder if it affects the accounting in some manner that would cause them to make that sort of decision.......operational vs capital expense, maybe? Tax advantages?
Actually, VS Code is a nice editor.....I've opted to install it instead of several others on my new work PC. I still think that Microsoft's tools are some of the most developer friendly and Visual Studio is the best IDE. But for projects that aren't based on that tech, VS Code is pretty good.
I actually mod AC posts appropriately (up or down) at times. I even skipped modding on this article just to respond. I know there are many who won't bother with AC posts, but I'm saying that *I* will mod them. And FYI, were I to have modded your post, I would have modded it as Off-topic because this article is related to Live Writer and your comment wasn't related and wasn't in response to a discussion thread.
But if there is relevant content in an AC post, I have no problem boosting it's score --- sometimes even moreso because it's AC. If there is good stuff there, I know that AC posts will automatically be dinged at least one point just for being AC.
Just buy the sign. It's probably MORE secure because regular burglars will by-pass because you have a system.....and hackers will spend half a day trying to hack into a non-existent alarm system.....hopefully enough time for someone to come home and notice them so they get scared off.
I'd probably stick to thousands......there are some programmers out there that really aren't that skilled.....at least not in programming.....cut and paste, maybe.
You'd be surprised how hard it is to get some companies to spend money on hardware.......in spite of how much more productive it would make their people. There's still arguments about whether to spend $100 for a second monitor......and that $100 is a one time spend over many years. Memory is in the same boat --- $100 to $150 that will last several years. The payback is almost instantaneous.
If you don't have a mouse or keyboard, how do you plan on using it when you get to your destination? Are you going to buy new ones every time you travel somewhere?
Also, with web apps and storage, they don't need your hardware to get to your data.....they just need a warrant provided to Google (or whatever provider you use). Hopefully you meant something else (like a VPN or Tor or whatever).
I never said there was No True Agile. I said in larger companies (subset of the whole) and I said many, not all (another subset). I've seen plenty of examples of Agile working really well. But that's always been in smaller shops where the organization doesn't have the monolithic ingrained culture that makes it hard to do Agile.
In larger companies, I've seen: Business partners who don't think owning the backlog is their job. Marketing who continue to over-promise on features and/or delivery dates in spite of the mismanagement of the backlog Financial departments balking on spending money on something that isn't fully defined in terms of features, dates, etc.
The large companies that have been successful with Agile have either been successful in small pockets of the company or when there have been mandates from on-high such that the whole company falls in line. This wholesale adoption is not the norm.
In smaller companies, there are fewer people required to buy in. The company already realizes that they have to work closer as a team in order to accomplish anything. Smaller companies can't afford to spend time on things that may not even come to fruition, so they have a vested interest in managing the backlog. Smaller companies also tend to be more short-sighted (focus more on next customer vs next year) which means they barely have time to think much past the next sprint anyway.....
The biggest problem is that many larger corporations have trouble implementing true agile development. It isn't because IT doesn't want to do it.....it's business partners or management or accounting or what have you. So in those instances, agile turns into some hybrid of waterfall and SCRUM that isn't as effective as it could be
While I'm not arguing that conditionals and looping structures are very handy, it *IS* technically possible to code entirely with events (as the summary describes) ---- provided that data is available to each event handler.
Obviously, a compiler would optimize this into a simple loop with a conditional, but it's possible to create a language that doesn't need either loops or conditionals [unless you count the event definition a conditional -- semantics]. In fact, I've used NOOLS (https://github.com/Pollenware/nools, http://blog.dougamartin.com/20...) to implement business logic in a project following a similar pattern......but since you can use JavaScript within each rule, we also had loops and conditionals.
Yeah....as I was reading the summary, I actually opened the link to the article (in a new tab) so that I could get a definition.......being as this is Slashdot, I was very surprised to see the definition of the term at the end of the summary (which is why I had opened the link).

$1M is really just the rounding errors based on how much money flows through the IRS. She probably learned it from Richard Pryor.

While I'm not arguing that conditionals and looping structures are very handy, it *IS* technically possible to code entirely with events (as the summary describes) ---- provided that data is available to each event handler.
Assume a fictitious pseudo language:
data {
msg: string = "",
counter: int = 0
}
when(App.Starting) {
msg = "Hello World";
counter = 1;
}
when(counter.modified && counter 10) {
App.Finish();
}

Great.....the race to the bottom again, just like that guy who bid $1 for that Open Source government thing......

One would think that all of the shorteners would make it a lot easier to see the full URL for this very reason.
