  3. Purchasing Power Parity on $56,000 Speeding Ticket Issued Under Finland's System of Fines Based On Income · · Score: 1

    MNC's use PPP to pay the same employee for the same job, more in costlier locations, and less in cheaper locations. For example a software engineer doing the same job will get paid ~1/4th or lesser in India, compared to USA. This is the application of the same. In the salary case it keeps poor countries poorer, and rich countries richer. In this case, it make the fines an equivalent deterrent for all class of people.

    Java(Android) is still No.1 by a huge margin. And I don't think Android/iOS is the reason for Java's -0.29% decline. It is probably the C# that is causing it.

  12. Re:A stable device driver API would help the users on Linus' Lessons On Software Dev Management · · Score: 1

    Breaking the user experience in order to ‘fix’ something is a totally broken concept; you cannot do it. If you break the user experience, you may feel that you have ‘fixed’ something in the code, but if you fixed it by breaking the user, you just violated that second point; you thought the code was more important than the user. Which is not true.”

    Hmm. So this doesn't count everytime the Kernel APIs change and a bunch of device drivers get broken? IMHO it's the users that get hurt by the lack of stable kernel APIs since the original developers are the only people that have the skills, source and tools to make the fix - if they are still interested.

    In kernel GPL device drivers will never be broken, due to Kernel API changes. As they will also be changed when an API changes.

    Linux can only go to 256 cores. Windows 2008 tops out at 64.

    Linux supports more than 256 cores.

    MAINLINE:

    Maximum number of CPUs / CONFIG_NR_CPUS:

    This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 512 and the minimum value which makes sense is 2. This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds approximately eight kilobytes to the kernel image.

    I know SGI has systems running 4096 CPUs with SUSE Linux.
