Legal if the building is constructed such that the radio signals required cannot get in or out due to the materials used, like a giant farraday cage. The FCC does not have the authority to stop you from doing that. Their authority is in the

Thinking about how our eyes really work - you don't need the same resolution. You only need proper eye tracking and the right amount of resolution in the center of your vision (or wherever). You only need it to render what you are loo

Right - but let's say they get less dorky and more comfortable - and really do have the visual quality we really want - objects look solid and real. That seems much more useful than a VR that you have to plug out of the real world and

No need to fake it... if you can get the retinal projection accurate enough, with fast enough eye tracking, the depth is as real as anything else you'll see in real life...the goal would be to have it feel completely natural.

Explain what you are doing and why; if they don't want to let you try it, then you aren't interested in buying it. It's understandable that, out of ignorance, they aren't comfortable letting you do that... it's equ

Right. The point I'm making is that this isn't simply that "there isn't anything in our current geo-political makeup where enough countries meet to disprove the theorem"... the theorem holds up under any theoretical

I was under the impression corners don't matter... it's about borders, not corners. Draw any kind of map you like, you only need four colours.

In that great expanse and time, there may also have been ample time for civilizations to rise, then fall. We might have just missed them on such grand scales. Nobody says we'll be hanging around for a billion years trying to communic

I don't mean to be "that guy"... because this is, of course, about linux running 4k. But much of the discussion seems to be around what the point is, whether it's useful, and so on. As someone who's been using one o

They will be doing this as a statement against the use of their work in this manner, and for the publicity that statement generates. It's very unlikely they actually think "Hey, we have had our copyright violated and deserve compe

That would be decoding, not encoding.

With enough size and resolution, it really doesn't matter. After all, you can always use the space for something, right? I recently upgrade to a 5k imac... and it's an absurd amount of space. I don't see the point in gripin

All the extra stuff ZFS does, and does performantly, comes at a cost. That's the cost (I can't vouch for the amount.. but the principle is right. CPU power matters too.) You don't get all those features for free... but you d

by dedward 12y ago
This should be fairly obvious... ZFS has it's own requirements... to work well it needs lots of resources (cpu/ram) and EEC memory. If you have those, then sure, it gives you many advantages. If you don't, then you are openin

In this case I read that purely as saying "It's okay for there to be contradictions - life really is that way, even if you look at science."

You can still fleece them, you can still demand they use yours, you can still try all kinds of stuff. You just can't actively jam their use of that spectrum.

Keep in mind the FCC isn't regulating the specifics of the WIFI protocols.. just the use of the spectrum. It's not a technical limitation on a certain type of packets, but about the results. The problem is only when the end result

There really isn't a slippery slope argument to be made.. they already have that power. If they determine you are deliberately interfering with lawful use of the airwaves, it doesn't matter how you are doing it.

by dedward 12y ago
And very likely.. that act of "forcing them to disassociate" would count as interference... and be rather illegal if it went to court. They have no authority to be able to interfere with your use of spectrum, just as you have none
53.
by dedward 12y ago
The distinction doesn't mean anything though. In both cases it is up to the FCC to regulate usage, not you, or a hotel, or a conference organizer. It's not their spectrum to manage, and everyone else has just as much right to use

That's not cheating..... it's a perfectly fine, perfectely efficient way for the casino to make money. If you are splitting your bets among players to get around table limits, they might frown on that - but that's not because

There is a case to be made with these situations that you weren't actually asleep.. you just didn't lay down memories for the period of time, because nothing happened. You feel like time is missing because you have no recollection

And it likely won't.. at least not without giving up the ability to work over high latency/lossy connections properly. The reason mosh shows you current-state rather than playing catch up with every byte transmitted by the termina

The ability to detach and re-attach to screen has been there since day one... that's probably one of the largest reasons most people use it. Terminal software these days can handle multiple sessions just fine - the benefit is being ab

While the situation you describe is one that some people end up using it for - it's not the real reason mosh is useful. Where mosh really shines is when your IP is changing too frequently (a mobile problem when you are on the move) and
