It's not a hard cap, it changes to match actual server load. The more they 'reinforce' the node(aka put it on the good machines) the better the numbers get. Can't wait for some serious cluster upgrades on the CCP end.
I don't think you understand. Each 'solar system' in EVE runs on a single core - the system is not multi-processor friendly within a single solar system.
They moved the 6DVT(where the fight happened) system to the same blade server as Jita(the huge trade hub which regularly hosts around 1000-1500 people, most inside a station) but on a separate core.
400% of normal traffic to a single processor. That's impressive. Also, it's running python, so there's that as well.
Sorry, that's bullshit. The super-rich need to be taxed MORE than the rest, because they are essentially hoarding currency. If they don't want to spend it, it should cost them a ton to just sit on it. That is what is breaking our economy, and nobody NEEDS "that second billion" while paying taxes on only about $250k.
You call it a hissy fit, I call it ruining a month of business planning and proposals I was considering to start my new business.
PS: If the government wants more money from me, they need to stop wasting it on bullshit like Iraq and Afghanistan, and start putting it to use here at home for things that matter. War is not good, and only profits the evil top-tier earners who already have plenty of money. How about put that trillion into social security or medicare, eh Govmint?
Hm, I was under the impression the general sales tax already applied, and this is just a doubling of software-consulting taxation. If not now, I don't see it being a stretch for that to happen in the future.
I would think they would use IR instead, as it doesn't trigger a pupil change in the scannee, and most iris-recognition systems I have seen use this spectrum.
Also, the 'macular degeneration' studies are retinal cells, out of the eye, placed in plastic boxes and bombarded by full-powered LED light at a close range. Not exactly the most conclusive thing to compare to retinal cells behind several Humours and a Crystallin/UV-filtered lens.
They can scan the Iris with Infrared light which is not detected by the eye, and therefore won't trigger the bright-light reaction. The part they are scanning is also the Iris - the colored ring surrounding the pupil - and not the Retina, at the back of your eye, requiring said pupil dilation.
I think the first thing I would do, then, is to opt to use a 'disabled' alternative. My iris pattern is not something I am willing to provide to the school under any circumstances, along with my fingerprints, retinal map, and a number of other biometric options.
If they need something beyond an ID with RFID, QR code, or a magstripe, they need to provide some pretty fucking compelling reasons for me to go along with it.
Also, in many states now, DUIs are considered so heinous the punishments in the "insane" category.
I'd love to know which ones. In Wisconsin, where I live, I see people FREQUENTLY getting 4th through 8th DUIs, and I can't help but wonder why the cops are so fucking terrible at keeping these people off the streets(or, you know, doing their job at all). I quickly realized that they don't WANT these people off the streets, as they use it as a revenue generator.
"We give you a real hard slap on the wrist, and take your plastic card, and suddenly you can't drive. Oh wait, you don't follow the law, you'll drive anyway(or pay the exorbitant fines and fees to get your 'sort-of' license reinstated). When you break the law again, we can charge you even MORE and let you go AGAIN!"
If the government actually wanted to prevent DUIs, they would adopt Germany's DUI penalty: First offense - ENORMOUS fine, lose your license(which costs thousands of euros to obtain in Germany), vehicle seized and sold, proceeds donated to any victims or a fund for the same. Second offense - Huge fines, and prison. Lots, and lots, of prison.
Sorry, but left or right of center, the government and corporations are both doing their best to make your life miserable. They are completely in bed together, so it should come as no surprise that they collude to fuck you out of money and influence to take it for themselves.
I wonder how the German government can catch terrorists like this without a PRISM-like system, and yet even with this overreaching boondoggle we in the US can't stop a pair of foreigners from blowing up a city street during a huge event or a guy from smuggling explosives onto a plane in his shoes or underwear.
My understanding of why they didn't want to do the A350 was because between the A320, A330, and A340, all the service areas covered by this A350 were already covered, and now they have a whole new production line which will only pull sales away from their already-established production lines.
If you look at some of the video from Sony, there are multiple times it pops up that there is a required PSN account with PlayStation PLUS required to play online games. They say "Hey look, no DRM..." then mumble under their breath "as long as you pay us a bunch of money per month for nothing whatsoever".
If you ask me, the right choice for a console is none of the above. PC + TV = much better experience.
They're a lot more harsh on this stuff in Japan via NHK. Once every two-or-so months, an NHK guy/girl comes around asking for a ~30,000 payment(~$30 USD). If you don't own a TV at all, they will probably let you off, though they have been known to count a computer and even a cell phone(capable of watching TV in Japan) as a 'Licensed TV'. They also don't have any provisions for 'watching it later' in their license.
Are you joking? They don't need to run the time server(except that they already have for their televised/news broadcasts).
All they need to do is retrieve the current local time from Greenwich or wherever the closest standardized clock is(hell, you can get relatively inexpensive atomic clocks in a small box form factor) and keep that on their server as 'current' for whatever their update interval is. Whenever someone connects, read the current stored local time, and then offset it by the IP-derived or login-derived TZ change, DST(if applicable), etc.
Any company allowed to operate a vast satellite network, that can't easily provide the time on their website, should be shut down immediately.

I don't know, some of those Prostitutes in game are pretty...well, sketchy at best.
Your post rings of truthiness.

All this tells me is that censorship is alive and well, and at least 55,000 people support it. Makes so much sense!
This is really going to put a damper on all that 'science' going on in Dexter.

You could always, you know, use a high-res macro photo of the person's eyes taped to some lens-less fake hipster glasses.
Or get crazy stealth and have contacts printed to look like the image of the iris.

Where is the typo? Everything in your quoted sentence is correct.
that is really all their is too it. I don't consider 9000 miles nothing

If by 'king of the hill' you mean 'king of public embarrassment and outrage' then you are quite correct.

You don't need a licence to listen to live radio.
Radio is not exempt from the BBC license. Listen live, and you pay.
I live across the pond. Come at me, BBC collectors.
