Mir is being designed by people who don't fully understand the problem domain or now Wayland works. The lead "devs" of Mir have spouted a lot of factually wrong information based on misunderstandings. I don't know about you, but I don't think it's a good idea to have programmers who don't understand what they're trying to accomplish.
Once you take in all of the external costs of coal, it is much more expensive. After a generation of no coal, we would probably see a quality of life improvement along with increased productivity and less healthcare costs, making prices drop or slow down.
If you buy up all of the coal mines while you're at it, you'll not only drive up the price since it's all have to be imported, but the time taken to rebuild all of those plants would take quite a few years, during which time other competition would have moved in, making it much less lucrative to start a new coal power plant.
Intel stated that 10gb becomes simple, cheaper, and power efficient once you get to 22nm. Once the prices of 22nm gets affordable to NIC manufacturers, expect to see 10gb copper NICs doing to 1gb what 1gb did to 100mb.
Intel won't be using 22nm for non-CPUs until 14nm takes off. It will be a bit before we start to see chipset integrated 10gb, but not too far off. Would be nice to see these paired with PCIe4.0
For home use, it's cheaper just to purchase more optical discs and make more copies than to pony up for a tape drive. There are other optical mediums that are great for archives. They use phase-changing minerals that require significant focused laser heating instead of photosensitive dyes. And they're still cheaper than tape, but not as enterprise friendly or supported. But a great alternative for home users.
They are consuming water faster than the water table is being replenished, which is causing the water table to compact, and in some cases, get contaminated with salt-water, both cases permanently ruining it. How hard is this to understand? Where do they plan on getting water from once the water table is gone and is no longer being replenished because it's too densely packed for water to penetrate in a meaningful rate or full of salt?
It takes 100bil gallons of water to grow the alphalpha being exported and most of the water used does not return to the ground in a meaningful timeframe. They export water in the same way you can export man-hours via products.
You're talking about current/old SSD tech, the new stuff coming out in the next year is based on physical changes to the medium. Resistance based storage.
Google is less than 50% of all searches and the ONLY search company that spends its own dime to fight NSA requests. But I can tell that you're trolling, which means you have a very good chance of a mental disorder, so I can't hold that against you.
For most, bandwidth is cheap and change is expensive in many ways, but a 10% difference is decent. I think people forget how useful periodic increases in efficiency is quite useful in the long run. So much of what we obsess about is not being more efficient, but faster. A 10% increase in efficiently for CPUs is easy to appreciate for less power usage, but bandwidth is much harder.
And the gravitational lensing the in the galactic voids is just magic. Fully transparent voids that are 10x-100x larger than the Milkyway, with no observable matter, not even dust, yet huge amounts of detectable gravity via lensing back-ground galaxies.
You find working with others nearby to be very valuable because you rely upon them to do your work for you, don't you? You're not a real programmer, you're a goddamn leech. Real programmers need not synergy nor companionship beyond that which the machine provides.
A recent study shows that trolls have a very high rate for mental illness. You may want to get that checked.
Mostly right.
Any data in write cache is discarded (which is fine, if the OS wanted it written that badly it would have issued a flush/fua/... and that won't get acknowledged as done until the data is actually on platter).
A currently active sector write *is* finished using mechanical energy of the platter (and on newer drives also with the help of electrical energy from capacitors... that was one of the challenges in moving to 4k sectors).
Think about it, if this wasn't done a mid-write power loss would cause a unreadable sector, as you'd have a mess of part new and old data and ecc on platter.
Many non-sas drives will falsely return that the flush is complete. Unless you look at the firmware on your drive, or do some statistical analysis of your write latencies, you can't really know.
The main improvement is not the extra bandwidth provided by SATA3 but the improved caching using on-board DRAM and improved handling of background processes to shuffle data around. These only affect write speeds, read speeds are mostly unchanged.
At the moment PCI-E SSDs are fairly pointless because the performance bottleneck is the write speed of the SSD. In benchmarks on an empty, virgin drive write speeds of 550MB/sec are not uncommon, but once the drive starts to get full up and blocks need shuffling or partially re-writing the performance drops to less than half that on most drives.
Most benchmarks that I've seen of Samsung, Intel, and other top end drives, which also tend to be some of the cheapest, is they have almost no discernible difference in performance in synthetic benchmarks, even up to 95%+ capacity. They tend to have enough spare space set aside to handle shuffling around data.
He wasn't saying that factory workers should be able to afford what they make, he was saying that if one factory lowers their wages, they reap the benefits, but if every factory lowers their wages, it turns into a race to the bottom.
He's trying to enforce his Utopian dream via laws with which he disagrees. Copyright tells people who they can/can't copy information, yet he uses those laws to make sure people can't continue to copy information. It just seems so contradictory and idealistic.
Same for me at my current job. They estimate an average of a 6 month learning curve before your salary breaks even with the value you add to the company. Which is a big reason why we tend to hire internally first. Lots of cross training. We got a DBA that used to man the first-line tech-help phones. He's quite competent and learned nearly everything on the job. There is a lot of value in an employee who has worked in multiple departments and has been with the company for over a decade. The social connections alone makes them more productive.
The Capstone project for my major has always been an internship with a local business or an internal project for the Uni. The company grades you, the teacher grades you, but highest weighted grading comes from your team mates. Essentially, if the people you were grouped with don't like you, you probably won't graduate.

delivering 8 Terabits per second (Tb/s) capacity using production ready super-channels across 800 kms of ITU-T G.653 Dispersion Shifted Fiber (DSF).
This is per fiber, uni directional of course.
Very very slowly. Who pulled the whelps?!
The UI says "Buy Now", not "License Now". Sounds like bait and switch to me.

Unless they're fracking near by and your tap water is flammable.
10 random chars are good for 65bits. Log(92^10)/Log(2) = 65.24

The OpenGL specification has one big fundamental advantage over Direct X, namely, extensions.
What's the point of a standard API if it's riddled with tons of custom extensions?

erroneus, as all things in life, a bit of both. All about balance.
