Well, 'er', yeah that's 100% correct. Just like we expect government to protect us from crap doctors or crap lawyers or crap teachers or crap dentists or crap pilots (I have the right to evaluate my own pilot, I don't need some stinking licence to tell me whether or not they can fly a plane properly https://www.google.com.au/sear..., same goes for licences plane mechanics, who needs them, I assume you rate them 0 out of 10 just before you hit the ground ;DDD).

You can't (easily and reliably) stretch a RAID across hosts.

Backblaze take a chunk of data and break it up into 20 smaller chunks (17 data + 3 parity) and then spread those 20 chunks across 20 different physical servers. You can't do that with RAID.

It would also reduce the overall load during disk rebuilds as well.

I was nearly 16 when Doom came out, as a young nerd at a high school in a rough area, it was certainly an influential game (as was my PC in general) to get escapism from the bullying one gets in a shithole neighbourhood and as a nerd, which 22 years ago, wasn't a cool thing.

I played the shit out of the game, at least for the next 4 years. I recall playing RS232 matches with 2 other pals, taking turns since it was only 2 player of course. Until we saved up pocket money basically for 16bit Coax network cards. (I still have my t-piece and terminator) I will say figuring out IPX / SPX when you have no goddamn idea what you're doing is tricky but when it works, wow.

I played basically all released versions of the game, none of the alpha stuff sadly. I recall getting hold of the patches which were differential patches back then. They took forever to patch the data but saved space. IIRC the release for Doom 2 was Doom 2 v1.666 at launch - they eventually patched the Doom 1 engine to the same level and beyond (last I recall was 1.9 or 1.9b or some such)

I learnt benchmarking thanks to Doom, in our MP matches, you had a 1/4 of a second advantage if the ............ loading dots would load the WAD quicker, I got VLB HDD controllers and all kinds of wacky stuff set up to get the game to load quicker and timed stuff.

I was a keyboarder initially, until we played it on a BBS in Melbourne, Australia - where I eventually learnt to go full mouse controls, I was one of the better keyboarders out there, but mouse playing was a whole new level.
I bought specific mice for the game, like the Logitech Wingman gaming mouse, no wheel to get the way or excess buttons, great shape. https://www.google.com.au/search?q=logitech+wingman+gaming+mouse&hl=en&tbm=isch&gws_rd=cr&ei=Zyk5V8rHJ5Do0gS11JqQCQ

I remember E1M1 at some point in development was modified, the original version didn't have the button to the left near the platform, which opens the window, to go out to the slime (armor) secret early. Dunno when that was modified, perhaps at the stage of Ultimate Doom.
I've finished the entire game 100/100/100 (items / secrets / kills) but doubt I could anymore.

Like many advanced MP players, I know the trick to fire the BFG directly at a wall you're facing, then strafe out from behind the wall to kill people instantly.
We used to wall run too, mostly on Doom 2 Map01 along the hallway.

I played in the 1'st PAX Australia 2013 classic gaming Doom event over in their PC hall. I think about 30 or 40 players entered. I came in 4'th IIRC, kid who won was like 24 or 25 (I was 36 at the time) I was pretty impressed to be honest, to see someone so young have a reverence for Doom. (Although I've always had a beef with using the plasma as a bit of a 'cheap' gun and to this day, I'm still reluctant to use the thing)

I know Doom 2, map30 is almost unplayable on a recommended requirements system, if you're not quick at finishing it. The amount of enemies the icon of sin spawns in, combined with the archviles means the map ends up with a heap of enemies on screen at a time and the game effectively 'swaps to disk' Even just 5MB of ram instead of 4MB, makes a world of difference.

I know the BFG noise trick, on map01 of Doom2, if you time your fall off the ledge along with your firing of the weapon, the BFG firing screech is silenced by your drop sound instead so people don't hear you fire it.

I know, in my *opinion* Doom 1, Episode 1 is 'real doom' to me. The atmosphere is fantastic, it's dark, the maps have an overall mars base theme and tileset, there's monster closets, the monster quantity, for the most part isn't unreasonable. I still think Doom 3 was underrated, it captured the atmosphere well. I still don't 'get' Serious Sam, 9/10'ths of the game felt like a shitty .WAD f

There's finally been some innovation in the SD / MicroSD arena - with a new standard for cards, they now have backwards compatible, much faster ones, with extra pins.
https://www.google.com.au/search?q=uhs+2+u3&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwit5b2PrdPMAhXDnaYKHQtUD30Q_AUICCgC&biw=1707&bih=929

I don't believe this one uses the new standard. If you're just using it to play music or videos, it's fine but (IIRC) a high end gopro would like a faster card when recording 4k 60fps for example.
I'd like to see all cards utilise this sooner than later.

The easiest answer to the question of whether or not you find it acceptable is, whether or not your find it acceptable. Don't like it stop being their customer. Still somewhat interested, inform them of the reason you stopped being their customer and check back every now and again to see if they change, until either you get bored coming back to check and stop or they change. There are just, so, so many choices out there and it will only grow, especially with accurate auto-translators on the horizon, content available from all over the world.

For me either the web site is OK and they get cookies and scripts or they are not and 'no cookies for you'. This extends to publishing houses (kill off everyone of their websites cookies and scripts) to advertising agencies (kill off their cookies and scripts no matter where they are).

What ever you preference is as a customer should always drive your choices on the internet ie Don't like that they promote wasteful consumption of fossil fuels, drop them and go else where, there are thousands upon thousands of other places to go. Don't like the politics of the owner, drop them, there is an whole internet of alternates. Don't like the products they promote, simply go elsewhere. You can also choose whether or not to let them know why. Don't forget https://www.google.com.au/?cli... , it really is just so easy.

The critics are increasing on this one, there's a lot of paranoia about ending physical currency, negative interest rates, bank bail ins, etc.
I generally tend to be partially susceptible to a good / interesting conspiracy theories, within reason. With this one, I'm starting to see it crop up though from a fairly significant amount of financial market doomsayers, although some of them seem to have reasonable credentials.
http://davidstockmanscontracorner.com/ for example
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Stockman

I don't know what to think personally. I certainly feel, based on a few years of reading some of this looney news, watching some of the youtube videos on how 'money is created' essentially, the printing since 08 of money and generally how finance is handled internationally that the whole world has no fucking clue of what's going on.

APPARENTLY the G20 meetings recently approved significantly more bank bail ins in many more countries, mine included.
These are quite serious concerns, example a recent pensioner suicide, due to the banks / govt, effectively STEALING this poor bastards money, it's outright theft.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35062239

Honestly at this rate some of the "new world order, new currency for ALL!" stuff is ... almost, ALMOST sounding fucking feasible. I'm willing to swallow a bit of the old conspiracy theory bullshit but as more and more evidence piles up, I'm begging to feel like it's time to buy a shitload of gold, silver and ammunition.

Well regardless of your thoughts on this post, how it's moderated, it's not going to change much - there's little, exceedingly little we can do if there's merit to any of this. So scaremongering aside that's the real concern, we simply don't have power as people in general.

Impossible. The company that owns porsche never cheats like this.

The initial AMD Fury card was a bit of a disappointment, I mean it is quite fast for it's size and it's also quite fast for only 4GB memory onboard, but it didn't thrash the nvidia 980Ti it competes with, despite being a newer technology with more memory bandwidth.
I haven't investigated (nor do I care to) as to /precisely/ why, but it may be the AMD GPU itself is simply not powerful enough to use that bandwidth effectively or the 4GB holding it back due to texture size.

*THAT* being said, that's phase 1 of HBM, phase 2 is about to kick in this year for both AMD and nvidia and premium video cards will be utilising this technology in the high end for certain.

The other thing that's frequently mentioned when these are brought up is that this on chip (or is it on package?) memory is going to be utilised in some of AMD's mid tier APU chips (the CPU / GPU combined ones) which should make some onboard video surprisingly damn good in the coming future. Perhaps not dedicated GPU good but may compete well with low to mid tier dedicated GPU's now.

Also for compute functions for scientific stuff or whatever people use all that number crunching stuff with dedicated GPU's for, this will be far better. (Apparently it's similar to Intel Xeon Phi or some such? (Knights landing) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I guess ultimately what has enabled this technology to exist is stacking ram (?) since they can fit 4GB of memory inside a single, very small chip.
(Here you can see the existing stuff, 1GB in a single chip, the 4 smaller chips around the GPU) https://www.google.com.au/sear... soon to be 4GB in presumably the same physical space and 8GB shortly

It looks to me like stacked ram is the future in many things (SSD capacity booming due to this)
It's all pretty exciting for the future of bandwidth, 1TB/s is pretty nice and I imagine it'll only go up from there.
(I read some theories recently about 'stacking' CPU's too, although the heat may become an issue? but if they can lay out 48 layers of memory inside a chunk of silicon, why not lay out multiple processors) however that's for the smart people to figure out.

With temperatures around 46C, two massive lines of pilgrims converged on each other at right angles at an intersection close to the five-storey Jamarat Bridge in Mina, a large valley about 5km (3 miles) from Mecca.

(This is nowhere near the Kaaba, where pilgrims circle around the stone, and where a lot of crowd-control research has been done.) At light densities, columns of people can cross easily and elegantly, such as at a pedestrian crossing. At high densities, it would become physically impossible to make (push) one’s way through a column moving at right angles, with this happening just as people lose their autonomy. With pressure coming in from behind it would become deadly.

Didn't the aboriginal population of Tasmania get wiped out?

Only in the same sense that mainland aboriginals (and probably the first wave of settlers) got wiped out. The gene pool was mixed. Truganini was not the last Tasmanian aborigine. Just last "full blood", according to the methodology of the time (and terra nullius ), and current politics. e.g. it's only been recently that the Dutch were credited as the first to map Tasmania, but there is evidence that Arabs had mapped it far earlier, and the Chinese, who definitely had the technology to visit. Somewhere I had/have a reference to archaeologists finding support for a French claim that shipwreck survivors had survived on the West coast before the British created the first settlement (stone garden walls, allegedly), but the government refused to stop land clearing for housing development - so "pure blood" is hard to prove without DNA studies (which is why I asked if anyone knew of any.

And given that the Tasmanian government were perfectly happy to destroy what was possibly the world's oldest graveyard in order to build a road bridge, evidence is pretty lacking...

Sort of. The Tasmanian government is pretty determined to avoid recognising anything that might stop relentless development, or lead to a Land Rights claim.

Thanks for a reasonable response - I confess it's not what I expected.

AmiMoJo doesn't say the tests are bullshit - simply that they might be. You, on the other-hand say the test results are accurate.

No, I am not saying they are accurate. I am saying that the insinuation that these tests are not accurate is baseless. Its quite easy to throw out those questions in order to instill doubt, then convenient to hide behind the "might".

I didn't read it as an insinuation - just a reasonable doubt. But that may be my own bias.

The best explanation I know of for the risks associated with exposure to radioactive material is.

When they play the Grand Final in Australian Rules Football the game begins with the large banners with the team logos on field. The teams run through the banner. From a distance the holes aren't apparent - up close they're shredded. Radioactive material has a similar effect on the human body - it punches holes in cells. Enough radiation causes damage the results in cells losing the information necessary to develop - so they simply divide, and divide without purpose. Cancer.

So the problem is cumulative.

I live in a very radioactive environment, Austalia. That's partially natural as the result of being a very old continent/island where once large mountains have eroded over time exposing the heavier metals that precipitated from high pressure solutions pushed up by volcanic activity along the Pacific Rim of Fire - i.e. gold, silver, lead, uranium. Uranium decays to radioactive lead - a soft element that gets moved by water and wind. That wound up being washed into sand banks that became sandstone - the radon gas from houses built of sandstone adds to that cumulative level.
Prospectors made use of aboriginal legends of sickness country to determine where uranium deposits were likely to be. That had the added benefit of making mining in those areas simpler as few aboriginal people resided there (but not always - encroachment by settlers changed things).

Radioactive lead and polonium accumulated in coal - coal is burnt and the heavy metal elements are concentrated downwind of the power stations(*2). With corresponding increased cancer rates. The same materials are also concentrated in the waste from iron (and lead) refining - which was then used as a cheap source of fertiliser (as is guano from areas contaminated by fallout from testing areas) - so it gets into the food chain where exposure is far more problematic. Though not as problematic (sort of) as the shorter half-life materials like lead 210 which is water soluble (more of a problem in soft water than hard).

Radioactive materials are also found in crude petroleum - which results in those elements accumulating around routes of high diesel fuel usage. Also with increased cancer rates.

Then you have the British nuclear testing which did spread radioactive material(
*1) over far wider areas than what they publicly acknowledged. Even when they were eventually forced to do clean-ups - they were fairly shoddy. The material they removed was packed into 44-gallon drums and then dumped just outside of Sydney Harbour - a big fuck you from the British. There are other sources of radioactive material, a large site where radium was dumped in Adelaide, the same wind borne material the whole world copped from various international test programs and those stupid nuclear earthmoving programs in Alaska. Plutonium from explosions moves around a lot in it's radioactive lifetime.

The first point is that it's not a matter of determining whether the level of radioactivity in food is a problem in it's self - it's whether the level is enough to reach that "tipping point" of the cumulative amount required to do

Misrepresented and unsubstantiated references to try and support damaged logic and false conclusions. The same sort of bullshit the NSA and FBI trots out to support their excesses. Different dog, same leg action.

The Russian comment was most likely referencing this (35 years ago)

But somehow disregarded the [citation needed]

and this (a bit more recently).

" Amid swirling anti-gay sentiment in Russia, Sochi’s mayor claims there are no gay people in his city.

“It’s not accepted here in the Caucasus where we live. We do not have them in our city,” Anatoly Pakhomov told BBC Panorama in an interview."

He then "went on to say that he was not sure if there are gay people in Sochi."

A little further on the same article quotes Putin "individuals of non-traditional orientation cannot feel like second-rate humans in this country because they are not discriminated against in any way,”

Of course what those crafty Reds mean is because there are no "individuals of non-traditional orientation" - they therefore "cannot feel like second-rate humans". Cunning. Very cunning indeed if you've ever visited Moscow - the extent they go to is astounding. If you haven't just Google to check the degree they're willing to go to so they can convince us in the West they really do have gays.

Brisbane doesn't get too cold but it does get stinking hot in summer. So most major city buildings now have been retrofitted with larger showers in the basement as well as cycle lockups. This happened because we have seen an explosion in cyclists and the state and local govt has built a number of dedicated cycle ways which run from the suburbs all the way into the city.

The deceit is obvious if you look at the discharge curve.
Yes, if you throw it away at 1.4V under load, most of the capacity remains. But it is bullshit because nobody does that.
High-drain devices will cope with much lower voltage, and low drain devices (like remote controls) will almost completely deplete the battery before you notice a drop in effectiveness.
For real high-drain devices like cameras, most people use NiMH, which has a nominal 1.2V only.

Especially the scare-mongering over depleted uranium being somehow seen as more toxic than lead is entirely political theater ungrounded in any science.

As a weapon depleted uranium is one of the most insidious and makes landmines look positively benign in comparison. It may be ok when used in crockery or bench tops when kept sealed up however when it is fired from a tank its pyrophoric properties make it particulate in the environment and it becomes a serious threat.

Veterans of both gulf wars suffering 'Gulf War Syndrome' are, in reality, suffering from inhaling radioisotopes, i.e. radiation poisoning.

So they may not be casualties of the war in Iraq, but they suffer for the rest of their lives when they get home due to their own government's policy to deploy du weapons, which is a war crime under UN conventions. That's the effect on the soldiers just for firing the weapons.

However the people on the receiving end of the weapons will suffer for much longer. That is because it is not immediately toxic to full grown adults who ingest it, only to their children. Since du's half life is measured in billions of years Iraq and Afghanistan will suffer these deformities for all subsequent generations. So will Veteran's families.

For a comparison, about 50 kilograms of uranium were used to bomb Japan and over one thousand tons of DU in Iraq. This is how nuclear waste is being used and what a 'dirty' nuclear war looks like. I don't think the claim that there is no grounding in science has a basis however the effects are plain to see. I agree that it is political theater, based on concealing and deceiving people into what is being done in their name.
