BUT is is pretty expensive and you will have to step on LOTS of toes do it.
So consider the following. The city of Melbourne has 75km of freeway that leads into and out of the city core. The rebuilt the road and did the following:>/p>
Instrumented the every lane on the freeway with detectors ever 500 meters
Instrumented the every off ramp on the freeway
Metered every on ramp to freeway.
Placed Multi-Function information signs WELL before every on ramp to the freeway
Placed variable timing centrally controlled signals on all the feeding arterial roads.
Now the central traffic authority controls all the roads, highways, arterials, everything. In the state of California CalTrans has to deal with every municipality and get them to agree to ramp metering AND they have to get them to coordinate all the signals on the arterial feed roads.
So as you can see it is more then just money it is politics. There really is a simple solution and that is you push the congestion back onto city streets for entrances onto and off of the main lines.
Fuck YOU! This should not even be debated. Fuck dissidents fuck them right in their mother fucking hearts until they are dead dead DEAD, every last one of them. Dissidents have a CHOICE, the little 10 year old girl getting butt fucked most certainly does NOT have a choice. Fuck you and your rationalizations.
I hope you get ass raped by an AIDS infected psychopath who films it, puts it on the internet in one of those TOR's. I wont buy it but I will damn sure enjoy watching you get your asshole reamed and get aids. Troll or not, if you cannot grasp the VERY SIMPLE concept that having sex with a 10 year old girl or boy is WRONG then I personally want to find you and blow your fucking brains out because quite frankly I don't give a FUCK what you think and I PERSONALLY have decided you do not need to contribute to the gene pool.
There are limits to EVERYTHING you fucking waste of protoplasm. I really hope you fucking get killed soon.

They want a device that just does what they need to do, and like it or not apple devices do just that.
Wrong Answer -5. If TPB was a database of pointers to great articles, great proponents of free speech everywhere, databases full of public information, etc. then I would have no problem with them wrapping themselves in the flag of "freedom of speech and access to information" and I would be cheering for them.
If they did not point to, cracked software program repositories that are for sale NOW, Copies of Movies that are for sale NOW they would not exist, period.
The best example of this is that their main page lists: Audio - Video - Applications - Games as their search categories. NOTHING there about looking for great speeches about freedom. Look under audio for Martin Luther King and you see a grand total of 6 entries. Search for The Beatles and there are thousands. Search under Video for Martin Luther King and there are 7 entries, search for the Beatles there are over 160.
TPB about "freedom of speech and access to information"? Really? No, TPB is about a bunch of fucking free loaders who think they don't have to pay for anything because they have a fucking internet connection.
Wrong answer -5. IF TPB was about "freedom of speech and access to information" they would have long ago stopped pointing people to places where they could steal the work product of legitimate businesses eg: Music companies, Movie companies, Software companies, et. all.
You forgot the $20,000.00 engine overhaul monthly contribution.
Oh how I dream of an annual where nothing was found to be: chafed, worn, broken, bent, misaligned, out of spec, to dim, to bright, to loud, to soft, to loose, to tight, overinflated, under inflated, corroded, pitted, to smooth, not smooth enough, smelled like gas, didn't smell like gas and the cute girl in the front office of the FBO handing me a bill for well over $1500.00
While you make come good points... Consider the following...
1080P video has 2,073,600 pixels per frame (ppf). If the color depth (cd) is 24 bits, then that is (cd * ppf) places to hid a SINGLE bit!
At 24 FPS 10 minutes of video = 14400 frames. Divide that by 8 gives a message of ~1800 words ( if not using unicode ).
Each BIT of the message is hidden in 1 of 49,766,400 bits.
Careful analysis will hide that bit in boundary regions ie: an area where color is blending into another color since the color variations are already randomized a bit to make the blend appear as seamless as possible, so setting a specific bit and then storing that location as part of the key, will, I would argue, make a statistical analysis for all practical purposes, impossible.
If he intends to seriously run everything encrypted no Tier 1 provider will peer with him, its that simple.
Even if they wanted to peer with him you can be damn sure the NSA,FBI,CIA and every other 3 letter acronym intelligence agency will have a quiet meeting with some CEO's and that will be the end of it because whether you like it or not there are some people and groups we need to keep tabs on and you really want your government to catch before they do something really nasty and NO this is not about torrents or PB or any other crap like that the CIA and the NSA could care less about.

This is a true story from the WordPerfect help line. Needless to say the help desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the WordPerfect organization for "Termination without Cause."
Actual dialog of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee:
"Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything type."
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
".......Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
".......Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power outage."
"A power... A power outage? Aha, okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
This is the problem with the web. When the first DBI ( Drive By Infection ) happened the code that allowed this sort of thing to happen was not ripped out "with extreme prejudice" and in an old/. post I asked why and there was damn little in the way of a response.
So I ask once again, why has this not been fixed? Why are there so god damn many ways to do this and how come that ability has not been removed?
It seems to me that in the insanity of try to make the browser everything instead of a piece of software that renders text, there is nothing but vulnerability after vulnerability and I really don't see any end in sight since in trying to make the browser do everything it needs more and more access to the core functions of the OS it is running on. How can this not lead to more and more attack vectors?
Gosh I am sorry to shit on your parade but with syntax like:
function foo(Y int) int{
var x,y,x int // then having to restate
var [other var] [other type] // rather then being able to simply state:
var
x,y,z int;
[other var] [other type];
I mean really is this yet another language designed by a committee of PhD's trying to bask in their own self delusional echo chamber?
Or are you clowns from the land of Python where block closures are invisible with forced indentation schemes or just to fucking lazy to type a semicolon?
Everybody wants to re-invent the wheel, everyone is to damn lazy to free() what they malloc(). If you guys had spent 1/10th of the time writing good standard web libraries for C then we wouldn't be going through all these damn languages of the month, getting brain dead PHB's all in a twitter to have the latest damn bell and whistle language and we culd be doing actual work, but NO.
It pains me to say it, but these days when I say, "Google" it is almost always preceded by the word "Fucking" and not in the nice way.
You can still get VERY high res monitors but they are going to be glass, weigh 60lbs+ and take up a LOT of space and will be re-furbished units.
I had a Viewsonic P220 for years, had it sent back to viewsonic twice for repairs until the damn thing just went up in flames ( high voltage PS just exploded ) and I really liked that monitor. 22" flat screen,.24 dot pitch, would sync to damn near anything. You can still find them out there for less then a grand.
I currently have two Dell 1908FP's for regular work but fire up a big glass monitor for really fine work.
The thing I dislike are the widescreen monitors. Just hate the damn things.
The code was written by someone with some very serious Assembler skills.
ANYTHING that can be written in any higher level language can be written in Assembler and that is an indisputable fact.

Linux 3.3 Released

· Score: 2
Well... Having taken a brief glance through the 3.3 patch file and the LWN posts I am really disappointed, yet again, that google thinks their code is special. The ashmem code is pretty much a duplicate of existing aync shared memory calls that can associate handles to memory which ashmem cannot. Wavelocks are just god awful but the "possible" upside is that perhaps they can be transmuted into something that makes power management a little better.
The whole damn thing just makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. If google wants to fork the kernel to suit their own Android agenda that is one thing, but this looks like a back end run to try and supplant the entire desktop ecosystem with the Android user interface which IMNSHO is a bit of a hack. I mean don't we have enough of a problem with the variants in Gnome and KDE already?
Binders also give me pause as it is again google thinking they have a better solution to IPC then D-Buss or any of the others, when it has the possibility to introduce security holes since it can pass credentials around.
You gotta wonder what the hell Linus is thinking on this.
