From napster? A search for 128 kbit MP3 might be enough. Your legal ones are probably of higher quality.

C would have been an interesting language to compare. We actually rewrote some C code to C++ and saw a speed benefit. Ofc, the original C code was very object oriented in this case, using structs with function pointers.

It's $25 per year and if I understood it correctly you don't get to keep the files if you cancel it. But I didn't watch the keynote firsthand so might very well be wrong.

Those are glob patterns based on hexstrings:
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>*<string>com.avm.pkg.avSetup</string>
avRunner.app*avRunner*DownloadPict.png

Not sure about the "Identity" param though. It's 160 bits, so could be a sha1 checksum.

Still seems rather trivial to get around.

Here's the change we are discussing (google translate).

Old text:

Electronic communications may be used to store or access information that is stored in a subscriber or user-dares terminal equipment only if the subscriber or user of the controller is informed about the purpose of treatment and opportunity to prevent such treatment. This does not prevent such storage or access needed to perform or facilitate the transfer of electronic messages via an electronic communications network or which is necessary to provide a service that the subscriber or user has requested.

will be changed to:

Data may be stored in or retrieved from a subscriber or user equipment only if the subscriber or user will have access to information about the purpose of treatment and agree to it. This does not prevent such storage or access needed to transmit an electronic message via an electronic communications network or which is necessary to provide a service the subscriber or user has explicitly requested.

Not sure I've ever seen such an ambiguous law text.

Even if it is per device, iTunes will accept it wherever it's used. Until Apple blacklists it of course.
If it's not per device, it's possible that they can update it with a firmware update, but the new one has to be in the downloaded firmware in that case, and could be intercepted. Plus they had to convince people to actually update the firmware.

But I've been prefering Spotify over iTunes for quite a while now anyway, so meh.

All good points, except perhaps that the expense of certificates is not an issue for any business, even small ones. Here's another one:

6. You can't serve http ads when using https, and many ad systems are only available on http.

There can be if glibc is newer then the kernel. This was a common problem back when epoll was new (for a year or so), you had to actually try to call it to see if it would work or not. So either you had to make a test program in your configure script or support the case of epoll failing.

Are they using glibc or the freebsd one? Because one of the developer advantages of the BSDs are that kernel and libc are more in sync. Ie. there's no system calls in libc that are not in the kernel, and vice versa.

Useful as long as you have software that runs on IPv6. There's a lot of software that will never be upgraded, so most likely dual stack will be around for a long long time.

Since your speedometer almost always show a slightly too high value, I think it qualifies as approximately the speed limit.

Tablets seems to be good for one thing at least: travel. They have better battery life than laptops and weighs less. So for watching movies on that 10 hour flight they sound quite good, and once at your destination you can get a prepaid 3G SIM and have cheap internet.

But why bother? I've done that before, but no longer. It much more simple to do nothing... And probably faster too, since you'll have a much larger cache and will end up doing less DNS queries past the recursing server.

Citation needed... Anyway, I don't see why they can't just have some ppl listening on all the trade channels and banning the bots as soon as they pop up. I always right click and report when I see them. Blizzard should be doing this themselve, beats me why they aren't.

And don't tell me it'd be too expensive. One person can easily follow many channels, and there's only so many servers.

Thai keyboards use it to switch to latin.
