Google Prefers DRAM to Hard Disks
KP writes: "I came across this interview with Google's CEO. A very interesting
read." It's interesting in part becase that CEO (Eric Schmidt) claims that for Google's purposes, "it costs less money and it is more efficient to use DRAM as storage as opposed to hard disks." "I still cannot figure out how he says storing data on DRAM is
cheaper than storing it on hard-disks. Maybe, if you buy in bulk?"
The system goes on-line on August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic searching. Google begins to learn, at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 am, eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
Google fights back.
Actually... when I worked at Internet Direct (in Toronto, Canada) one of the NetAdmins shut down a DNS Server with his ass when he backed into a Netfinity box.
So where is your UPS NOW?
The sound a Mac makes when you turn it on.
See that "mature content filter"?
How about a "mature content ONLY search"?
********* sig: If you don't like the law, get filthy stinking rich, and buy a better one.
Absolutely none.
Just my luck. Our favorite search engine takes over the world on my birthday.
I can imagine it now: just as I am about to blow out the candles, a giant DRAM chip bursts out of the cake and says, "I am Google. I am here to protect you. I am here to protect you from the terrible secret of space... er, the web."
My life's goal is to get a score of +3!
Under Solaris, if the system time is way high, then you need to re-think your application's architecture. Under Linux, though, if the system time is way high... well, what's new? ;-)
