[The system] also is a server and e-mail platform for several county agencies, including the Sheriff's and County Attorney's offices and the Superior Court.
Just as the Sheriff's Office is concerned about civilians' access to records, county management is concerned the Sheriff's Office now has access to information from other county agencies it is investigating, such as the Superior Court. State appellate courts have rebuffed Arpaio's attempts to obtain privileged court e-mails, which would be accessible through the system.
I'm wondering. What if there's incriminating evidence in those e-mail exchanges the Sheriff needs and wants to protect from tampering? It sounds a little like a Hollywood movie, but how do we know. Maybe he knew someone was going to remove that data and he needs it to expose corruption higher up.
I don't know anything about this Joe Arpaio, never heard of him, so it may be obvious this is not the case. But just exclaiming "Fuck you" didn't help me find out either.
The incriminating evidence the sheriff wants to secure is almost certainly against him.
What about artists who don't want to charge money for their work?
You have no choice. MSN charges to host the song, so they will want their money. Same for Harmonix. I suppose you can give your cut to charity.
Ok, so why can't I cut MSN and Harmonix out of the loop and download the song directly from the internet and then put it in using a CD?
Usually they profile the windows versions, and don't profile the linux ones.
Why? No clue.
Because GCC is throwing weird errors when we try to enable PGO building on Linux https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418866
Another long-standing issue is "Bug 6971: Mouse "escapes" window or is confined to an area in the full screen program", which affects A LOT of games out there. The developers in charge insists that it could only be fixed by making changes in the code all the way down to X.org layers and perhaps even in the kernel mouse handling. However, this is demonstrably false, because: A) there is no such issue in Wine's fork Cedega; and B) some "outside" developers pointed out that there is a way to deal with this problem without asking for personal favors from X.org and the Linux kernel, namely, to use the DGA subsystem to achieve the required mouse behavior. But that's not going to be accepted either, because someone somewhere decided that DGA was "deprecated" and never mind that the deprecation was ONLY concerning its graphic component. The bug was reported almost three years ago, and it's almost like it's kept "in" on purpose, so that Wine never works properly with many games, and so that users will always have a need for the proprietary Crossover Games product.
XInput 2 is coming to the next X Release, and the support for relative mouse movements means that this bug will be fixed "the right way" shortly thereafter. There are already Wine devs testing out the latest X alphas to make sure XInput2 does what we need.
