Film industry is going to go redundant sooner or later, bittorrent as a distribution channel is already mature, stuff like blender is maturing. How long before a talented bunch of individuals are capable of making high quality movies without the industries backing.
In such emergencies, its better to use SMS than place a voice call.
SMS rides on control signal and as long as your cell phone has a signal, it will get queued and delivered.
Voice calls require acquiring of a dedicated voice channel, these are limited and overloaded in such emergencies.
I upgraded from a C2Q to a i7 with 16GB ram and a small 128GB SSD for boot, costed me around $700, a desktop. Later on dropped 2x3TB drives in there with Win 7.
At this time, this desktop runs my old XP install as a VM, a Mac OS X, Ubuntu and a Scratchpad XP install, all as services in background.
I don't even notice a hick up. I doubt I could do all this on a C2Q machine.
So a DMCA takedown notice then
Its not going to happen as long as extremist countries like Saudi Arabia are an ally of the world's only super power. Saudi Arabia actually goes out and promotes extremism. Hell, the freaking religious police hits 10-12 year olds with canes if they are out playing soccer during prayer times. Growing up there, thats one of the most vivid memories I have, running from these idiots lest you get hit with canes, money was good so dad moved there for a while.
They have tons of oil money, you take this oil money and spend it in poor Islamic countries like Afghanistan and this is the shit that happens. There are direction on how to behave in a war in Quran, i.e. fight the enemy, Islam does not tell you to show the other cheek but tells you to stand for whats right. This is what is quoted again and again to show extremism in Quran. This is exactly what Islamic extremist do, point out to drone strikes where countless innocent have died to establish US is the devil. Truth is somewhere in between, on both sides its the necessities of war, US is no more the devil than Islam is extremist.
No one ever talks about how quran tells you to behave in normal days, the instructions are "not to sit with those who you disagree with", yah thats it, no killing, no extremism, "walk away". Besides, if any of you picked the quran and did read it, it has tons of stuff on importance of "patience". Again and again it tells you god is with those who are patience. God himself is extremely patience, and yada yada yada.
Google tells me patience is a noun: The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.
This is clearly not what Islam stands for today in the world view as well as those who are extremists, at least they are on the same page. If it suits you to believe in what these extremist believe, then be it, you are NOT better for it.
Nonetheless, drastic measures are needed to curb Saudi wahabism being spread to poor countries. Its not even so much organized by the Saudi Government, they do make there donations and shit, but its the populace, millionaires will establish religious schools and tell them to teach "whats right", unfortunately they believe "right" is intolerance and extremism.
Personally, I am tired of explaining this again and again to people, nut jobs have screwed up this religion from discovering algebra to poets and chemists, its come to this.
Why US let this happens (think Russians in Afghanistan during cold war) is a topic for another day.
Is it to hard to come up with Android ROM to kill this thing once and for all. The kind of battery life this has can be easily had on a Nexus 7.
Put in a custom graphic calculator ROM and let TI RIP.
I realize there may not be such a ROM and the fact its highschool kids who use it, its unlikely a group with capability to actually customize such a ROM will ever do so.
I'm guessing you are still in US where Z10 is not yet launched, however out here in Canada, I am seeing a lot of Z10 with everyone.
No Goatse.
Often they took the pictures.
Sounds like Anonymous can have loads of fun with this and point out the ridiculousness of DMCA. Few dozen anonymous activists can create havoc and force congress to think the law again.
Of fun times.
In theory this works, in practice, with average home user being lucky to have 5-10mbps down 1-5mbps up, this won't be worth it. I do see people talking about fiber to home, once we have and 100mbps internet connections, they we can possible revisit this solution.
Add to this crappy monthly bandwidth restrictions and you will be able to download one movie a month as rest of the bandwidth will go for proxying torrents for others.
Jokes and media brain washing apart. The guy lives so much more humbly that its hard to think if he is as crazy as western media shows him or is there more going on. The country is making progress in spite of all the sanctions. Not sure if its the Iranian media spin but the guy sits and eats simple foods on a mat on the floor, sleeps on the floor.
I don't know which one is propaganda, this video or if the western media, or if there is a Jackal and Hyde going on here.
That is your one stop shop for all open source android software. You won't find the f-droid app in the play store, but you can install it from http://f-droid.org/
Other than that, two of my favorite are AirDroid and Skifta.
Plex is disqualified as its not free, but its great.
Actually, I have found Netgear to be consistently better than Linksys/Cisco routers for a long long time. Two linksys I owned would hang and reboo often in the 802.11g days.
Moved to a netgear 802.11n router and has been great.
At this point there is no reason why HTML5 canvas can't do what WebEx is doing with Java. Java is great for server side development, it shouldn't be on any end user machines.
Disclaimer: 10+ year Java developer, so I am biased in favor of Java for web/server development.
and then do a about turn once you have become one.
Unfortunately by then, you have forgotten your original agenda and become complacent with bribes.. um ah.. I mean lobby donations.
Today is a good day for information-gathering. Read someone else's mail file.
