Small Linux install: $.085 per hour Up to the First 10TB of data transfer: 0.15 per GB
And it goes down as you add more instances in. So the cost may be relatively small.
But I wonder, if you are remoting to this machine, won't you be charged for twice the bandwidth if you are using it as your desktop to surf the web? Incoming data has to go to that instance first and then route to you. AFAIK you'll be charged for total bandwidth usage.
They are probably right in the fact that if you ingest constant violence you will output violence. But so what? Watching too much violence on TV will disconnect you with the reality of violence also. Same with violence filled music. But again, so what. This is a "personal conduct" issue, not an issue society can govern. And violence in society is punished so that's already handled.
That being said - I don't think we should knee jerk too much against this study. It's wise to know what effects you and how then take precautions as you feel necessary. Just like too much caffeine can be a bad thing, too much of anything can be detrimental. IMHO you probably won't be the most socially adjusted creature if you dwell in a dark-lit room playing 2pac loudly while slaughtering innocents in the No Russian level of Modern Warfare 2 over and over 24 hours a day with your eye lids taped open Clock Work Orange-style. Just my take.
But Video games, music, tv, movies - those are all reflections of reality. If you want to "cure" violence well you have your work cut out for you. Good luck fixing humanity.
So if a bug pops up in the underlying tool and it causes your car to careen off a fucking cliff, do those lines of code not count because they are hidden by abstraction?
But on another topic, that little quip at the end basically calling me retarded, I really hate that shit here. Don't even pretend to talk down to me, I'm well versed in embedded programming and yes total count includes ALL code, not just code you wrote and then magically pushed over the fence to a black box.. Why? Because that code can break too. Do you think it matters to the end user if you wrote the code or a tool wrote it for you? You are still liable for the end result correct?
Enlighten me sir. How does one abolish religion? I'm one of those said assholes and I'm truly interested. Also, why exactly that is "better" than religion doing it again?.. Fucking hypocrite.
I noticed that too. He's the typical modern elite - every problem can be solved by more control and population reduction. It's funny their M.O. is always the same - the problem is everyone else.
The irony is they took out the advertisement to oppose delays on replacing the existing bridge, and in turn doing so they are "against" another proposal that would add more mass transit.
From TFA, the statement made by MS in their full page ad: While there are still some final design issues that need to be resolved with the City of Seattle, we should not let last-minute objections undermine the hard-won agreements already in place for the rest of the project. Doing so would cause yet more delay, increase the cost to taxpayers, and put this vital transportation and economic corridor at risk. The current bridge is 47 years old, and state engineers warn that it could sink in a major storm or earthquake.
So basically they want it finished now, not sitting in government limbo like so many other infrastructure improvements do.
I'd also like to point out the obvious: Bill Gates is not Microsoft.
You can do whatever you like, it's a free country. But the lesson is clear - don't be surprised when your right to free speech also entitles you to some free punishment because you opened your mouth. You can say whatever you like. Just remember there will usually be a retort.
What about a current student sitting one foot outside the school perimeter holding a sign that reads "The principal is an asshole!"?
IMHO, anything that disturbs the teaching going on in the classroom should be squashed. Kids need to focus on the big picture and why they are there in the first place.
The same could be said of all sophisticated criminals. For those that run large bot nets. Why so much effort into a crime? If you put the same effort into releasing good software you could make a very very good living.
Yes but the industry is also young. I think as it matures it will accept constant wisdom over spurts of creativity just like all other engineering disciplines. The younger generation gives a little too much "Yes! Yes!" and not enough "I'm not sure".
On a side rant - The confidence coming from young programmers is, well, ridiculous. I was hot shit when I was in coding my 20s . But I grew up. Now I'm just okay at what I do. By the time I'm done I'm convinced I won't know shit.
I hope to God I'm programming after 40. I'm just not sure I want to be doing it for someone else by then.

C++ is a bloated hog, I suggest ANSI C with embedded Assembly.
Yes yes, lefties would never make a law that controls what you do. They are all about personal freedom.
Any other zingers you want to let loose?
Paying for someone else's fuck up. A lot of that going around these days.

It's still 100M lines of code friend, regardless of who or what wrote it.
Okay wtf is going on lately. MS actually admitting mistakes left and right, trying to play nice. Did I miss the memo?
even if its idealogues aren't bombing my busses
Not yet. But keep attacking them and you will be attacked in return. Me thinks they'll go much further than you'd ever consider.

Which is exactly why developers need to pay attention - So we can avoid these mistakes ourselves.
I was hand fed as a child too. Mainly back hands but sometimes open palm.
TFA fails to state whether they used existing memory types or if they intend to use a custom piece of hardware on board.

Slashdot should be embarrassed for all the FUD they've been posting
You just summed up the last 10 years.
That seems a harsh way to find out that your Windows machine has been rooted.
What do you want? Some cuddling before breaking the bad news?
"Sweety.. you got rooted" .. as it goes in the _wrong_ hole.
Unfortunately there's no change without a body count.
Galaxy News Network, with Three Dog HOOOOWWWWWL.
They expect money for nothing of course. This is modern capitalism we're talking about after all.
I suggest buying a politician and making it illegal to smash your phone.
