The most comfortable chair I've ever used at my desktop used to be the driver's seat out of my old car. I just affixed it to an old chair base. Now I have a desk chair with swivel, caster wheels, height adjustment, headrest adjustment and recline!
What are the operational/performance characteristics of these SANDs as opposed to transistors with other types of dielectric material that also get used in the same manner?
And thanks to all of the documents of the case being in public now, the government has "made available" to us the counter arguments that were good enough to get this case dismissed. Awesome.
I was listening to a radio commercial the other day for new Civic's proudly bragging that they get 35MPG....
The answer to that as hidden in the summary. My Neon and your venerable Civic have very simple and time-tested methods of getting power from the engine to the wheels. Simple engine, simple transmission, simple everything. The newer cars with their complicated options of transmissions (CVT, Autostick), variable valve timing, hybrid powertrains (which add weight)is all good and dandy on paper; but the reliability and performance aspects over time have yet to be seen when compared to what companies have done in the past. I'm thinking all of this new stuff in the consumer market is just engineering for the sake of engineering instead of engineering for the sake of practicality.
I've been thinking this for years. Except it's not just the weight that makes a difference. My 1997 Dodge Neon, with a curb weight of a little less than a ton with me not in it, gets right around 40MPG after a few tweaks to the engine and computer.
That might be just the standard meme here, but this time it really got me to think. Having run a Beowulf cluster in the past, what would one use to connect all of these supercomputer nodes together to make a more massive computer? Cat5 just won't cut it in this situation. I have to wonder if fiber could even keep up.
Why in the hell was this modded troll?! What this man has described is exactly what happened to the first few machines I installed SP3 on. Granted it was a release candidate and I haven't had any problems with the go-live version. But still, troll? I think not.
Why do I envision a Das Boot remake where the submariners are Americans instead of Germans and they don't make it back to port with a subplot of modern scientists looking for the wreckage decades later under the guise of looking for something else? I know. That was a run-on sentence. But the excitement over the prospect of such a movie made me lose my composition skills.
I got so pissed when I bought my computer and saw Vista on it, I went back to using a typerwiter to get on the internets. Oh damn it! I misspelled typewriter! Gotta get the whiteout!
...I, for one, welcome our Vista Service Pack 2 overlords.
If the OS works and functions like Vista with no major changes or increased hardware support (multi-touch... pffft just make my damn printer work), it sounds to me more like a SP release than a full-blown new OS.
Web 2.0 is about a thousand layers above hardware, it does not in any manner, approach.
Not to be pedantic, but it depends on what model you are using. According to the OSI model, the Application Layer is 6 layers above the Physical Layer. And according to the TCP/IP model, the Application Layer sits 4 layers above hardware.
Network models with thousands of layers?! Not only is that crazytalk, it's way too precise to be practical.
Judging from my experience with Jeeps, it would get halfway to the moon and then something major will break. And the same thing will happen over and over at a declining interval that approaches zero miles.
Whenever I'm configuring a Cisco router for PAT, I have a similar compulsion to name the NAT pool "frustration" so that when I go to execute the command for PAT it will end with "frustration overload". I have done this on occasion. It all goes back to my days in the Networking Academy.
So, MySpace and Facebook have both now jumped the shark. What company is it time to move to? Verizon, AT&T, Bell Systems, Quest, [your phone company here]. At least they won't try to push ads through your phone (if you still use your phone as a phone) and it won't take 5 minutes for blingtastic pages to load. Dispense with the pages and talk to people like you used to. It's far more natural. And, in most cases, less annoying. Welcome to social networking the way it was meant to be!
What does the case study prove really? Only that prisoners talk to other prisoners. I fail to see how this proves intent.
Sure while in prison a prisoner may talk to someone who may have ties to a terrorist organization. But if/when they get out and they do not commit terrorist acts, the hours spent on tracking him would be for not.

Yes. But the only thing that really changed is that the web is now funded with venture capital AND ads.

What about the upstream being flooded with ACKs?

I was just trying to be a bit of a smartass. As a network guy, those two models are pretty much my bubble. Thanks for the lesson.

If you can prove that it is fraud, I will join your class-action suit. I just don't see it as fraud when the attempt at FUD is so blatantly obvious.
For a second there I thought I misparsed the title as "Fox guards hen house".
For the sake of all humanity in the impending robot wars, lets stop this right now.
Is there anyone out there with statistics that prove/disprove whether or not it is safer to go into space than it is to drive a car?
