Hi, Sorry for not responding, and I don't think I'll be able to answer your questions, but here is some info: Any Android 3.0+ device uses MTP for file transfers between host and device (pretty common knowledge these days). The MTP specification itself does have playlist support, however from...

Just saw this linked elsewhere: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/659943965/planetary-annihilation-a-next-generation-rts All I have to say is:

From my personal experience, I've rarely had an issue with them on the older GPUs (like those found in the northbridge, eg 945G/GMA3100). I've haven't used them with anything newer than Core2 based chipsets (G43), so can't tell for newer CPU integrated GPUs.

Intel problem, since they are the ones writing the drivers for *nix. AFAIK, there were some known issues with IVB based graphics, but have been fixed in recent Intel driver updates. However for Ivy Bridge based CPUs, you really do need the Intel 12.07 driver set. (Mesa 8.0, Intel 2.20.0, Linux...

I don't know what AMD engineers where thinking with the current Bulldozer design, since they had a good design previously. But alas, you can't keep throwing cores at a design (just ask Sun about the Sparc T3s) and expect performance, you need a good IPC (instructions per cycle) coupled with a...

Some reviews: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6124/the-intel-ssd-910-review http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/55572-intel-910-series-800gb-pci-e-ssd-review.html Nice to see near 2GB/s read performance for an enterprise class SSD. Pity about the low performance when...

Please don't say that, my two at 4 and 2 are hard enough...

dd, Congratulations! Having children is certainly a life changing event! As Stirker mentions, patience will see you through most things, and sometimes an S10 or M50 gas mask is needed as well! :-o

Just acquired my first TB+ capacity HDD, a Hitachi 2TB 7K3000 (aka HDS723020BLA642) ... Functions as advertised, and the performance is a nice improvement over the 250GB WDC Blue drive it replaced. PS. This is a 512byte sector drive, not one of the 4K drives.

Whoa, considering I've been to two of my own, it's certainly rare to not have been to at least one. IIRC. I've been to about 10 weddings in the past 10 years.

Well, after 2 minutes scanning the configuration file, ejabberd it is. (It does everything I need). Took more time stuffing around with SSL, than making it work in plain-text mode, it was that easy.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give ejabberd a look first, since it's in Arch's main repository.

Hi All, As part of a team project this semester at Uni, I setting up a team server that has: 1. Apache + MySQL + PHP installed (classic LAMP stack). 2. dotProject Project Management Suite 3. Subversion Server 4. Hudson for CI 5. SSH 6. IM Server. I've got most things running (still need to do...

Re: Flash. Have you turned tried turning off hardware acceleration in the options of Flash?

I think this is the major issue with Windows and Microsoft at the moment, especially since they want a 3yr release cycle for the OS and infrastructure related software. Most people treat their computer as an appliance, and loath to relearn things every so often, especially when the old way...

@LM, But anyone who is a fulltime dev should have a basic understanding of computer architecture, be it server, LAN, WAN, etc...

I know, but it's something at least... Here is another link, which I think has more attendees... http://blogs.ocweekly.com/heardmentality/2012/07/san_diego_comic_con_hot_girls.php Mind the very last girl on page 3 though... PS. Flickr CC'12 portal. (Over 60K images of CC) -...

Ohhh, Comic-Con.... http://www.thinkcomputers.org/the-girls-of-comic-con-2012/ PS. Possibly NFSW depending on your workplace....

I've done the same recently, and it can be scary how bad some foods are.... Mind you, the other day we were treating ourselves with some MacDonalds, and the young lady behind me ordered a triple-quarter pounderm but with no cheese, because she was worried about the fat content in the cheese...

With the recent introduction of nutrition information at most fast food places here in Australia (it actually came in a while ago), in that they must display the kJ for the item being sold/consumed as a way to help with weight issues... So why not come up with a kJ per dollar value, so that...

Thanks. I believe the average in that subject was barely a pass or 52% based on what people have been saying on Facebook. Most of the other classes I had last semester, all had averages ranging between 75% and 60%, so it would appear that the coursework is still slightly harder than what is...

Did you know that with the increase of other gases in the atmosphere, that oxygen levels are dropping!!! Source: http://jeb.biologists.org/content/201/8/1043.full.pdf We need to breath oxygen to become whole again!!! But really, someone come up with a stupid idea (that unfortunately does have...

Chipset limitations, most mobile chipsets only come with 2 actual ports... You could embedded a USB hub to give you more, but that costs money and reduces overall bandwidth in the case of 3 actual devices connected and being used at the same time...

LM, congrats of the 9K posts...

Well, I got all my grades for last semester, and apparently either I didn't blow the exam, or I had a marker who wasn't paying attention, as I managed a grade of 90% overall in Computational Intelligence and Embedded System... (A High Distinction). Also got High Distinctions for all my other...

FYI, we've decided to hold off buying for the moment, as all vendors are currently refreshing their TV ranges here in Oz. However have noticed some interesting trends: 1. Sony no longer make anything less than a 32" TV. (And it would also appear all Sony's in Australia are LED backlit as well...

Except, what do they do for sound? PS. We looked at a Sharp 19" that claimed 160 degrees on the vertical, to be honest it was more like 60 degrees on the vertical starting from horizontal and working up...

Thanks time, but are they viewable from below?

Hi Guys, As would have it, our TV in my wife's and I bedroom is slowly dying (a 12yr old NEC 68cm CRT TV), and am trying to decide what to do. The current plan is to replace our son's TV (51cm LG CRT), with a new 19-24" LCD, get our daughter the same TV, and we replace the 68cm CRT with our...

IIRC, rooting does void the warranty, but as you mentioned you can reverse it as needed, but only on some handsets... I haven't done it, as I haven't had the need to on my handset. Check out xda-developer forums for hints on the S3... PS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/

Couldn't we change it to: Not so permanent?

Wouldn't that be insulting to the real Mexicans... you know, those that live just south of the US of A?

Yet, if you looked in the visual dictionary under OCD, you'll find me there... ;)

BTW, this is a classic example of why DRM (in this case HDCP) hurts legimate users... The organisations/groups/people who copy/download don't have these types of issues...

Not surprised, but as dd mentions, if PS and BR work fine with his, it should work fine with your setup. Since I think there is a little confusion, I'll quickly rehash the basics. HDMI - The physcial cable specification. (Think it like DVI, DisplayPort, Cat5e, etc). CEC - Signalling protocol on...

I can't tell you for sure, but most modern TVs support HDCP via HDMI, especially since HDMI v1.3 pretty much mandates HDCP being included. (It's not 100%, but 99.999% of all devices that meet/exceed HDMI 1.3 spec implement HDCP). What the issue may be (and it's been a long time since I've heard...

But Facebook is in the complete opposite market? (Getting their own users to give them personal information so that FB can on sell it to the highest bidder). HP seems like a better fit...

Granted, having a massive DAS array is an issue, but there is nothing stopping him/her getting a large storage server, using OpenSolaris, Solaris 11 or FreeNAS coupled with ZFS and then adding storage as needed. I just don't know too many mid sized cases that take 8+ drives (assuming they want...

HP maybe???

Unfortunately that's correct. However I don't know of anyone personally fined for such an act. I guess it could would only be enforced in the case of a public disturbance, and not common talk down at the local watering hole. PS. Consumption of alcohol in public or on government property is...

Hi Jay_Z, First of all welcome to SF. For your problem, I don't know of any consumer level solutions/products that will fit you needs. Basically, you want a NAS (that can export the typical NFS and CIFS/SMB) that holds up to 20TB (usable) and provides some sort of RAID internally to allow...

Hi Guys, Despite using MX Player on my phone and tablet as the default media player (since the default Google one is limited on the number of formats it supports), I've just noticed that VLC is coming to Android... http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-android.html More of just an FYI...

Cant' say for all LCDs, but my Sony 40" CX520 easily does 170/170 left right. Up/down is about 120/120. In contrast my daughters cheap 17" LCD (with integrated DVD player) is only about 90/90 left/right and about 50/45 up/down. These figures are typically not disclosed, so you need to go in...

Most LCDs these days are decent on the left/right viewing, it's the above/below viewing that can be terrible.

Plasma's have a higher refresh due to the technology, but most LCD/LED TV are either 50/60, 100/120 or 200/240. I don't know where that 960Hz come from. The higher the Hz, either means 3D, or for more fluid motion. However, if the content is only 25Hz, or 60Hz, etc, the TV has to do some serious...

easy, Plamsa lots of power, LCD/CCFL, lots of power but less than plasma, LCD/LED the most power efficient. Plasma, most say has the best colour depth, LCD/CCFL in second and LCD/LED third place (unless they are using high quality LEDs for the back light, which a lot of cheap LED unit don't)...

Congratulations... Just remember the wedding is yet one day, the marriage and your time togther is for a life time. (remember which is the important one of the two).

Just like to wish Coug and all our friends from Quebec a Happy St Jean-Baptiste Day...

Had my last exam today for this semester at Uni... Basically blew the exam... used the wrong formula on the Reinforcement Learning questions (used SARSA instead of Q-Learning, which butchered the Q table), and may have stuffed up the Polar to Cartesian co-ordinate formula! (yes, yes, I know it's...
