Once you start looking into 2TB SAS drives to use with your LSI controller that's in your FreeBSD+ZFS box, then duplicate everything twice for a back-up, plus the cost of an off-site back-up. Why uses SAS? Port expanders.
100TB collection, over 1,000 movies so assuming 1500 movies, that's an AVERAGE of 68GB per movie. That's bigger than the average BluRay including commentaries and extras. Did you partially decompress your videos or do you have 100TB of raw storage, but RAID 6 in 10disk groups or something?
I've seen a lot of other charts that categorize all traffic or it defaults into "other" or "misc" or whatever. Those categories are always small, so unless this new BitTorrent traffic is also invisible packets, it won't be disappearing, just shifting categories. VPN traffic has been going up, which may be largely caused my BitTorrent, but hard to say and still much much less than naked BitTorrent traffic.
Arbitrary values aren't going to work. The perfect ratio of net profit to gross profit varies a lot depending on the context. Look at Intel, they can spend $10bil+ on a single fab plant, then another $5bil on R&D to make use of it. They make a new plant every few years. An arbitrary of $1bil(or whatever value you want to use) will not work for every case.
those are far to complicated to compete as a government manged with a properly functioning market-based solution
Insurance has about a 50% overhead associated with it because of the huge amount of paperwork caused by having so many insurance companies and all of their loop holes. Several places around here will cut your bill in half if you don't us insurance, because it requires hiring on more full-time people to manage the paperwork.
Medicare on the other hand has about a 10% overhead cost for companies because it is more strait-forward and is a single point of contact. The current insurance market is too complicated and has too many options for be efficient. We need a more singular market.
There are some other basic issues with having insurance privatized, at least with insurance companies being able to reject or charge more for some people.
How's that? USPS is self funded and gets no money from taxpayers. Being a government organization, it isn't allowed to make a profit, so all profits ether get fed into lower rates the next year or surplus considered income to the federal government to spend as it pleases.
Most people are victims of circumstance. Very few people are inherently "evil". The deaths shall be mourned. Sentient beings should be not fighting each other.
As long as the tank is not empty we're fine (and the tank only needs filling about three times a year).
That's a small LP tank or you're using a lot. I lived in a house with an LP tank that lasted about 1.5 years, so my dad could safely wait for prices to drop in the summer, and that was used for hot water and to heat a 2,500 sqrft house with A LOT of large windows. And we have cold winters up here.
Linux where things don't just work but are also easy to setup and control
I've heard plenty of recent horror stories from sysadmins that talk about many different Linux distros that break stuff on minor version changes. I've been getting the feeling of Linux distro developers having A.D.D. and change for the sake of change.
Most "new" ideas that I've seen are just logical conclusions when given the problem domain. It's the problem domain that keeps changing, and it changes every time a new limitation is discovered. Very iterative. Solve one issue, wait a bit, find a new issue, solve it. Rinse and repeat.
Numbers are what math manipulate. Math is an idea that follows logical rules and manipulates numbers. Everything in the world can be described as a number or relation of numbers.
One might say that math is a subset of logic. Software is a syntax that represents logic. Software is just a way to represent math.
scrypt helps fight against GPUs by using large(adjustable by paramters into hundreds of KB) pseduo-randomly generated arrays of bytes, then pseduo-randomly jumping around the array. This does two things: 1) Higher memory usage 2) Random memory access
GPUs have a lot of memory, but they have very little cache. A modern GPU has about 96KB of cache shared across 100+ execution units, and has been getting worse over time.
It also has adjustable parameters for rounds to increase the number of OPs required, which helps against regular CPUs.
More like a rape victim that lives in a "bad" neighborhood and doesn't even take basic precautions like locking their door, then leaves their blinds opened and undresses in front of the window when they know their neighbors are sexual predators.
At some point, the user needs to take some responsibility. Officer, it's not my fault they weren't a safe distance behind me. I was just driving along on my motor cycle and randomly slammed on the breaks as hard as I could to see if the person behind me was alert. Obviously they weren't alert enough and hit me, so they're 100% at fault!
At 1080p on most games, my AMD6950 is stuck around 10% GPU load and 30 FPS. That has little to do with the GPU being loaded and more to do with bad code that is not taking advantage of multi-core CPUs.
Separate your commands from your inputs. The query sent to the DB should never change, only the parameters; and the parameter values should never be part of the query.

Suddenly my starting cost went up.
What do people expect when they hand over money to someone, especially when the money isn't regulated and is being held by an unregulated company.
The dollar is backed by perceived value. Circular reasoning at it's finest, but it works. It has value because people think it has value.

You are using ZFS, right? RIGHT?!

It's impossible to have a free market, so long as greed is involved. Good luck with that.
Don't let trying for perfect stop you from accepting good. Plenty of ways to have a "good" market, even if not idealistically perfect.

At least Alcohol has health benefits in moderate dosages.
It only takes one bad apple to ruin the batch. People remember the bad, not the good, so you best be nothing but rainbows and unicorns.
Lots of kids drown each year; water is also banned from school grounds.

AMD not only continues to win the performance per dollar comparison
Until 12 months of a higher electric bill have passed. AMD is the new Pentium 4.
I would rather have the entire world blind than having only ass-holes being able to see. It would leave the bad people in a superior position.
Google's 60% market share, and falling, is like the 95%+ market share that Microsoft has?

Android is the implementation of the idea, Microsoft owns the idea. Unless you're saying that Android is using MS code.
