Is that not how many businesses and government purchase enterprise licenses of Microsoft software? In addition to this it seems to be common to purchase one license with hardware and a second license for the same software (but potentially a

I might have been mislead by the use of IP, the handset is what is tracked and it usually is more precise than just what tower the device is associated with. It can include measurements taken from multiple towers, which can be derived from

Well first I would argue that we did see this coming: AAA games make money but so do casual and free-to-play games. Wii established the precedent, and follow on devices such as the Ouya expand the market for console devices for casual game

A couple of things: 1. That is true of some cell-based mobile data solutions, but others use an actual IPv4/v6 address assigned to each mobile session. 2. Some popular webmail systems hide the source IP address, while others include a

If an extension to XvMC or the proprietary ATI/Nvidea equivalent supported a protected path for media content, which could theoretically bypass the kernel by sending ciphertext directly to the renderer, then Widevine or another DRM sy

But even so, the DRM system was not available cross-platform. Something like Moonlight could process the data but could not play back encrypted video using the Microsoft DRM system. Each platform will offer a different DRM implementation, b

Would it be possible to support XMPP Streams like those used in the OLPC project? You could then share a service with other users over jabber, or browse the services exposed by a jid.

Would you do this by creating your own EME in a cross-browser manner? I guess the built in support for basic encryption would work here (the mandatory profile). You could even deliver the symmetric key out-of-band with asymmetric encryption

Wouldn't the statements by the Chairman Mike and the others that they have changed their habits confirm to them that those changes were affected? If the goal here is to protected "sources and methods" why are members of the C

Right, I can see why the hash of the file would be important, but I can't see why they would include the plain text URL instead of a hash. It would be interesting to have a hash of a file that could identify embedded data but exclude p

UML is a little different, using a Linux kernel which relies on the system calls of a parent kernel. The other technologies you mentioned, and LXC which docker is built on, have a single unified kernel which interprets paths and other names

The facilities in the kernel for doing this have gotten better progressively over the years. Support for separate namespaces, and adding more and more of those types of namespaces have only been added in the last few years.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have a Github repository or some other URL for this code? Sorry for the confusion, but by "stewardship" I meant that you maintain or manipulate the data but do not control the place that is stored. I c

It seems that Feedly's Cloud API may be the best replacement for the Reader backend (really an ATOM PUB feed source). It may not however turn out to be the best frontend for our use case. I would like to see if it is possible to rebuil

Right, in your EQ example it may be an envelope displayed as an appropriate graph with a particle engine (or 2d representation) which when manipulated modifies the audio output. The analog version is gone, which is just a bad mapping of &qu
