Why should computer science follow SI units? Fields of science should use whatever makes most sense to use. Laymen don't need to know anything beyond "it's about 1000". Anyone else knows the difference.
There are plenty of "standard" symbols that overlap in math and science. You can not avoid confusion. How many different Greek and stylized characters do we need to remember if we want to completely disambiguate?
K M B G T P E etc followed by a B or b means binary. Simple. Yet the standards people are the one adding to confusion, trying to force KB to mean 1000 bytes, thus making all published writing on the subject ambiguous. Good job fucktards.
I think you meant to say, "so does the increase in the number of servers".
If server sales fall, the number of total server still increases as long as the number of servers being removed does not exceed the number of new servers being racked.
How you want to count virtual servers is up to you.
So you COUNT the number of inches your epeen is? Or do you MEASURE it?
I've gone through this hundreds of times with ignorant morans. The guys in their garages got it right. We COUNT bits because of their quantum nature and the intrinsic usefulness of computing and calculating things in terms of ranges and combinations.
We use "classical" measurements because we can NOT (yet) count things in such a way. Bits are logical units are are therefore easy to count. You can't count how many Planck lengths tall you are, and if you could, we don't know that the Planck length is indeed the fundamental quantum length of the universe.
Isn't one case underway? It could easily be 80%. Not that it's statistically significant whether it's 0% or 100%, but let's get the facts right if we're going to be pedantic about them.
1: It's 60% or 80%. (As far as I know, I don't follow politics because it's ALL bullshit.)
2: 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% are ALL statistically insignificant because we're dealing with a sample size of 5 cases.
3: The figure doesn't count the decisions the supreme court declined to hear, but the supreme court declines to hear the vast majority of cases anyway, making this often-used "clarification" pure hokum.
4: A 9-0 overturn and a 5-4 overturn DO mean the same thing.
It's more like saying "Here's the basic lease info. When you sign, you're certifying that you've received and read and agreed to these additional documents. This one is about lead testing, this one is about asbestos. This one is the general rules regarding stuff like shared areas, parking, and trash pickup. Take a minute and go over these, initial them, and then sign the lease."
No, the Supreme Court handles cases where the constitution has been violated and such violations have been ignored by lower courts (or more rarely, stopped by the lower courts with the violators appealing), and situations where the constitution is unclear.
It is a simple task to objectively determine anything according to the Constitution. All you must do is define your objectives.
Gun ownership is a right. Good or bad doesn't factor into it. It's a right guaranteed to us by the Constitution and ANY erosion of that right by the federal government or any state government is unconstitutional. It's simple english.
It is literal and flexible. It says what it says, and it allows us to modify it should we see fit. It is in general very well written with regards to being abstract enough to be applied to future contexts, and it is specifically stated that rights not mentioned in the constitution are reserved by the people.
However, it is very fucking clear that the USA of today pays NO fucking heed to the constitution. The problem is not the constitution, but all the shit we've allowed to be erected in spite of it.
"You expect a rich white man who lives in the Hamptons or Bel Air, and spends his days doing nothing but politicking and playing golf to be able to hand down a just sentence on someone who comes from a completely different part of society? You expect him to fairly judge someone who is starving, homeless, and steals a loaf of bread, and (I shudder at the thought) some baby formula? He has no context or even a remote claim to empathy with that person. He exists completely outside that part of the world and society.
You expect him to be suited for telling a young woman that she has to bear the child of a man who raped her, despite never being in a situation where someone he knew/loved was raped?"
Yes, this is exactly what I expect of a judge. To interpret the letter and spirit of the law without emotion or personal experience getting in the way.
(This is NOT to say a judge has to be a hard ass, or can never be lenient, or should not consider the circumstances surrounding a case.)
1) Fix the systems with important information. Banks and online stores need to be as secure as possible. 2) When shit happens to frivolous shit like Facebook, just shrug and say "No shit, your ass got infected from all teh pr0n and WaReZ."
Side note: Someone got my credit card info somehow and used to pay a $253 electricity bill in Illinois (I am NOT in Illinois) and tried to buy plane ticket(s) for $185 this morning.
I disputed the first claim the day it showed up, and got it removed. I got a call today about the charge for airline tickets. The charge was auto-denied by the fraud detection algorithm, and they're sending me another card.
Who the hell pays an electricity bill (tied to a PHYSICAL address) with a stolen credit card? Who the hell has a $250 electricity bill? I wonder if the moron will try to use it again and get arrested.
I'm not bitching about it, someone else commented on it. I don't give a shit about being civil or whatnot. I see bullshit and I call it out. I have an idea and I put it out there. I have an opinion and I state it.
Let's just bring this allllllllllll the way around.
There needs to be a pregnancy test that shows abort retry fail on a positive result. (And nothing on a negative result).
Abort is obvious Retry is the panic stricken OMG NO GOTTA DO ANOTHER TEST Fail is accepting your fate and living with the "error"
Obvious, yet fun. Almost as fun as the obvious idea I have for Left 4 Dead. Once the SDK is finally out, someone needs to swap the models. Louis = Obama Francis = Biden Bill = McCain Zoey = Palin
Swapping in audio clips from the campaigns last year would be icing on the cake.
By setting up your own you're destroying the networking aspect.
A private site for friends will never have the pull of a world-wide LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE site.
If that's what you want, great, go for it. But I seriously doubt that's what Google has in mind. They want all of your data, and this is just another tool for them to get at it.
Maybe you'll be able to set up your own wave "servers' (be they on your hardware or Google's), but they'll all tie in to Google's master server hive (of scum and villainy).
I'd guess that you can go to any wave and get the same base content, functionality, and networking, but you can also get that content (and all your personal stuff) through any other wave designed for specific interests. Go through the wave and get all your same shit with a different layout, and added content (sports scores, etc).
Regardless of function or intention, my comment still stands (despite being modded troll by Googs) - the layout shown is hideous and provides nothing but total information overload.

Due to the spacing I read it as:
2 x 10^9
or
2 x 2^30
My abbreviated reply (2^30) didn't make that clear, though.

Is that like an evolved EKNS?

But the contract was HYPERLINKED.
That's like, if your contract was bound by HYPERSTAPLES.
It's simply unreasonable to expect anyone to actually be accountable for their own stupidity!

I don't think that's true, you certainly CAN keep your court decisions and personal opinions/experiences completely separate.
Even if you couldn't, there is no reason to use that as an excuse to accept racism and sexism in the courts.

Stereotypes persist because they are based in truth.
Ugly, hilarious truth.
The law is stupid - there was a supreme court case ruling "virtual" child pornography to not be illegal, and this law flies in the face of it.
When it was created, the legislators said it would only be used to prosecute those who ALSO have ACTUAL child pornography. They lied, I guess.
It's a witch hunt, plain and simple.
I'm not bitching about it, someone else commented on it.
I don't give a shit about being civil or whatnot. I see bullshit and I call it out.
I have an idea and I put it out there.
I have an opinion and I state it.

What if it's 2 AM, the seat's down, and you didn't turn on the light? That could cause one to go missing.

I am SAP.
Get me my presale product demonstration software package.
No. Wha ha ha!
Grr. I'll just get my own presale product demonstration software package through the pre-trial discovery process.
But the presale product demonstration software package was MISSING.
