If I leave something anywhere, and someone sells it, I would feel violated.-wraith808 (April 28, 2010, 07:16 PM)
... the argument I understand is being made against Gizmodo, that the search and seizure wasn't disallowed by journalistic protection laws because it was related to a felony investigation (theft) rather than a simple "give us your source" shakedown.-JavaJones (April 28, 2010, 01:44 PM)

My biggest complaint recently is the dismal file transfer speeds. It takes forever to copy/move files from one place to another! It shouldn't take 2 minutes to copy 50MB!-Deozaan (April 02, 2010, 02:58 AM)
I could probably burn three 4.7 GiB DVDs in that same amount of time.
Thanks for letting me know about it.Next version will have a difficulty level - that'll keep you rolling.-timns (April 27, 2010, 01:40 PM)
Police have seized computers and servers belonging to an editor of Gizmodo in an investigation that appears to stem from the gadget blog's purchase of a lost Apple iPhone prototype.
...
"When I got home, I noticed the garage door was half-open," according to an account by Chen. "And when I tried to open it, officers came out and said they had a warrant to search my house and any vehicles on the property 'in my control.' They then made me place my hands behind my head and searched me to make sure I had no weapons or sharp objects on me."
...
Dalglish said that the San Mateo County search warrant violated the federal Privacy Protection Act, which broadly immunizes news organizations from searches--unless, in some cases, the journalists themselves committed the crime. The 1980 federal law requires police to use subpoenas to obtain information instead of search warrants, she said.
Editors at Gizmodo, part of Gawker Media's blog network, last week said they paid $5,000 for what they believed to be a prototype of a future iPhone 4G. The story said the phone was accidentally left at a bar in Redwood City, Calif., last month by an Apple software engineer and found by someone who contacted Gizmodo, which had previously indicated that it was willing to pay significant sums for unreleased Apple products.
When I do a screen capture (Prnt Scrn) the SCC window will pop up with a rectangle selection that is smaller than the active window, which then disappears before I can do anything with it. But other than that, everything looks fine.
In fact, when doing a full screen capture, the active window is properly pre-selected, and clicking the crop button properly makes the corners transparent. It also properly captures the transparency (Aero effects) in all my windows.And when I do an active window capture (Alt-Prnt Scrn) it will properly grab just the active window, but the corners outside the active window are not made transparent like they are when doing the same thing in XP.
And also SC does not like the Aero transparency stuff. Anything that is transparent due to the Aero theme either is captured as pure blackness or when I'm lucky it just isn't transparent (non-Aero), but the proper colors otherwise.When capturing the active window of games I make in TGB, the contents are blank/black
And when capturing Google Chrome it does really weird stuff.
I think this is mostly due to Chrome's unique lack of a title bar.When trying to capture an image of the SCC window, the image is just a white screen (but my mouse cursor is captured properly).
When making a full screen capture and then cropping the image and renaming it, the thumbnail image in the sidebar doesn't update. The name updates, but the actual thumbnail itself shows the full desktop capture. Even going into the menu File -> Save Changes Now sometimes doesn't get that thumbnail image to update.
Sniper Elite also has some pretty detailed hitboxes, you can detonate grenades on your opponents belts.-p3lb0x (March 19, 2010, 05:25 AM)
A guy I know worked on a custom ftp client years ago that would create checksum files for every file you uploaded, with a hash for each chunk of the file so you would only have to re-download corrupt pieces. Dunno if he ever produced even a proof-of-concept, I've never heard of other people doing this, and it would obviously only work for files that you've uploaded with the custom client. *shrug*.-f0dder (April 14, 2010, 05:48 PM)
Globalscape or Rhino software (?) has the feature you want, but you have to be running their software on both ends of the transfer (their FTP server & their FTP client) so I doubt that option would work for you.-Innuendo (April 14, 2010, 09:34 PM)
So all in all - not too bad. (Not too bad at all...)

32kb is a pretty large cluster size - but I guess it might have been set to the flash erase-block size?-f0dder (April 08, 2010, 10:16 AM)
Realize that each file will fill all clusters it uses except the last cluster (which might be full, but generally won't be). If we assume that each file will use on average only half of the last cluster, we come up with the following guesstimate for 'wasted space'
32768/2 * 16047 = 262,914,048 wasted bytes
Still not accounting for all the waste that you're apparently seeing, but I'd suspect that the true numbers skew toward more files that use far less than a cluster (I think of the files that use only a single cluster, there are far more that use less than half than those that use more than half).
Also, this doesn't account for the waste used by directories (which if I recall, are allocated clusters similarly to files except for the root directory), which would bring us up to close to about 300MB of wasted space.
This analysis hasn't account for all the waste you're seeing, but we're less than a factor of 2 away...-mwb1100 (April 08, 2010, 12:39 AM)
