Flipper commented on this story just a few hours ago. He is on record as saying, well there is no good text to document dolphin statements. But it roughly translated to, "What mother of all mother fucking languages can you trace this statement to bitches!".
This just seems a little silly. I'd rather get a song on a cheap USB stick.
I remember when I was a kid taking a pin and attaching it to a paper/styrofoam cup and playing records with it. The sound quality sucked, which is the case with this too.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti vinyl, I still have several hundred vinyl records(none of the ones I destroyed as a kid) and a fairly decent turntable. But this thing is going to make any song sound like it was sung by Mickey Mouse on a 5 day meth & vodka bender.
Sadly I had to look up what "the cake is a lie" bit because I too generally wait for games to drop to around $20, or even end up in the $9.99 section w/ a cardboard sleeve.
Most of the insulation I've used has had a paper backing, similar to a paper bag. Not that I've used a lot, but I've helped out family on these things from time to time. This is less of an insulation and more of a house wrap (like Tyvek). My last house didn't have this, or any wrap, but I still had terrible cell signal inside the house, but 4-bars of 3G in the front yard.
This is the foam board type insulation that is nailed to the studs prior the siding/brick being attached to the outside wall. I've seen insulation rolls with Mylar backing, but it's not very common.
Right now the U.S. can barely afford to maintain the infrastructure it already has, much less add the kind of construction and maintenance you would need to add high speed rail across long distances. I hate to say it, but we're kind of stuck with what we've got.
Plus such projects can't be completed and the benefits realized within a single election cycle. It's truly become a sad situation in the US.
Yes and no. I would guess you could expend twice as much energy locally and still be better off than shipping. Those tankers and container ships are consistently overlooked in regards to efficiency and pollution but are still running on the same tech from the 1950's and 60's.
So they've already dis-proven that the men from Mars are green. That makes more sense as green sure does contrast against the red planet. I'd say this telescope has already proven its worth.
big oil tankers and container ships are way worse at polluting than all the cars on the planet.
Shut up, go buy a Prius and don't worry about how the parts arrived at the assembly plant. You'll know you did your part for the environment that way.;-)
Based on TFA, they'll be employing real people to put words in the mouths of virtual women. Presumably because they've not got a chat-bot that's convincing enough.
So it's: 1. Dork tells you properties of the pretend woman he wants 2. Facebook profile created for pretend woman (somehow avoiding violating Facebook TOS) 3. Pretend woman becomes a Facebook "friend" of dork 4. Employee, in persona of pretend woman, posts some girlfriend-ish stuff on dork's Facebook wall etc.
(Where ???? presumably entails some targeted advertising etc.)
The good news is that if you break up with "her", "she" won't steal any of your meat space possessions.
The bad new is that "she" can make you look like a totally pathetic ass online.
do cooling fans inside the servers need to be disabled? seems like churning that fluid would burn them out.
Since the mineral oil will dissipate the heat from the components much better, they will most likely be fine. But will still use electricity unnecessarily, so I would guess they should be removed, or disabled.
Well, I just went back and watched the video in TFA. They are pumping the oil out to a radiator, or are cooling it somehow. With the added cost of needing to pump mineral oil and cool it, I'm not sure where the savings in electricity is coming from. And all the other problem are still present.
I don't see how this can be good for use w/ a server. It does nothing to increase cooling within the room itself. The server is going to emit the same amount of heat regardless of whether it's air cooled, or mineral oil cooled. The mineral oil will transfer the heat from the components faster, but it will not transfer out of the mineral oil into the air as fast. On a hobbyists computer, it will get shut down, or the load will decrease to almost nothing daily and allow the built up heat to dissipate. On a server that runs constantly, this heat will build continually. If the heat can dissipate out of the mineral oil fast enough to stabilize, then using mineral oil is overkill. If it doesn't, then the server will have to be shut down on a regular basis.
I would guess that a marginal amount of electricity could be saved due to reduced need for cooling fans. But I think that is trivial in comparison to the potential for leaks and the PITA of swapping hardware, not to mention the additional weight on the floor. Then all of trivial things, like the fumes, than any sticker on the equipment eventually coming off and floating around, slippery floors and components, etc.
The whole point there was that they wanted to continue the series, but the actor didn't.
It isn't that he didn't want to, some reports say that he'd have been quite happy to carry on for a while. But his health was failing, including his memory which is not a good problem to have if you are the lead actor with a tight shooting schedule, and the show was fairly taxing. There are also reports of problems between him and the new production team (the team had seen a few key changes over his last series or so), but I'm pretty sure the health thing was the key driver for his exit from the show.
Are you talking about William Hartnell? Or one of the other actors?
I didn't know if this was for the computer OS or the phone, since they are both at version 7 now, and presumably will progress to version 8. At lease until I clicked on the link.
Of course I was then confused about how a screen shot of the current OS means that there will be support for legacy OS's since the last time I checked, Win8 was not released.
Frankly I closed the tab I opened up TFA in, as it appears that they don't even know where the image came from. At least that's what I got out of looking at it for all of 3 seconds.
I have no clue how much money was donated to date. But with the deep pockets Sony has to pay lawyers, I can image going up against them could burn through a hell of a lot of cash in short order. If he had to go through 10's of thousands of dollars just to settle this, he may have come to the conclusion that it was not financially possible to win.
There's a difference between that and what Hotz did: Hotz' hacks didn't disrupt any other people's games - that was done by people who chose to use the hacks for cheating. It makes more sense to hold those people responsible.
I agree with you completely. But in this case I'm sure they thought this to be the best solution and one person getting sued probably looked like less bad PR than going after many people. Frankly the vast majority of, if not all the people, that used this to cheat probably couldn't figure out how to do this themselves anyhow.
Unfortunately we live in a ridiculously litigious society in the US. I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen gun manufacturers sued because some idiot chose to use one of their products to do something bad.
But really Sony's biggest mistake in this instance was to allow people to hack the PS3 in the first place.
If Hotz wanted to hack his PS3, great. Hell, it's his so who cares if he uses it as a boat anchor. But he didn't stop there, did he? He made his work available to the public
So, you argue that because it can be abused, people shouldn't know how to do it for themselves?
Not at all. If you , or anyone else wants to hack their PS3 great. But downloading someone else's work and applying it to your PS3 is not hacking nor is it knowing how to do so yourself. It's being a script kiddie.
Which was done even BEFORE GeoHot's work, and no, that does not mean SONY gets none of the blame whatsoever - even if they are responding to something that may be legitimate, that doesn't mean that they have no extreme that is too far, they can still overreact - and when THEY overreact, THEY get blamed for overreacting, which is logical.
So it happened before. Then they put a stop to it and he reversed that and they put a stop to it again. It's a company trying to protect its business. When someone breaks into someones house and the owner shoots them, I don't get pissed at the owner. The idiot breaking in shouldn't have been there Don't get me wrong, I agree, they over reacted and shouldn't' have. Frankly, on several occasions. But that doesn't justify the over reaction on/. either.
I don't see what any of this has to do with Hotz, or the people who bought the console for OtherOS. You're not the only person in the world, no matter how much you paid for your system. Sony fucked the dog on this one by removing OtherOS, Hotz restored his PS3 to the way he wanted to use it, sorry his work around broke what you wanted but Sony did it. And all the bitching in the world won't make it otherwise.
I'm sure I'll be modded as a troll or flamembait as Sony is the company of the antichrist (or what ever) on Slashdot. But really Sony's biggest mistake in this instance was to allow people to hack the PS3 in the first place.
I don't own a PS3, so I really don't care one way or the other. But I thought the intended use for the PS3 was to play games. The OtherOS option was a nice added feature that I guess the XBox and Wii do not have. It sounds to me like a small number of people "abused" the option and made it a bigger pain in the ass than it was worth for Sony and somehow interfered with the bulk of their customers, the gamers. If Hotz wanted to hack his PS3, great. Hell, it's his so who cares if he uses it as a boat anchor. But he didn't stop there, did he? He made his work available to the public.So Sony could go after the single point of this issue, Hotz, or try go after everyone with a hacked box that tried to cheat at the games on their servers.While the OP is obviously not the only one who bought the PS3, he's part of the majority of consumers that did. Which also happens to be the group that are using it for its intended purpose.
If I modified a Toyota in some way that it ran the way I wanted it to, but somehow generated an EMI pulse that shutdown other cars, including yours anytime I was within 2 miles, would be pissed at Toyota? This would somehow be Toyota's fault? And fuck you and all you other whiny bastards, you're not the only drivers in the world. I got my car running the way I want it to, that's the important thing.
Maybe people should be pissed at the dip shits that tried to cheat with modified consoles rather than the company that was nice enough to allow the system to be hacked to begin with. .
I'm sure you'd have no worries about putting your foot in your mouth for claiming to have detected gyroscopic anomalies in what might turn out to be a legitimate product.
Abnormalities? It's there or it isn't and it's rather easy to detect, even by one as brilliant as yourself. If it's not there, then there is not spinning disk inside the case and it's not a legitimate spinning drive.
Or his foot for that matter, when he does Karate on you because you scared away customers.
This was China dip shit. Karate is from Japan. I know because I'm a second Dan in Shotokan. And seriously, not everyone in Asia "knows Karate".
This would be way to easy to spot if you pick it up when is powered up. Unless it's being sold as a SSD, there will be a noticeable gyroscopic effect when you pick up the drive and change the angle you are holding it in relation to the floor. At the end of TFA it even states that the salesman saved data to the drive. I'm sorry, but anyone who would not notice this when testing it at the store deserves to be ripped off.

this thing is going to make any song sound like it was sung by Mickey Mouse on a 5 day meth & vodka bender.

Not a thing Unless you happen to be a mouse named Mr. Frisby. It didn't work out so well for him.
Yes and no. I would guess you could expend twice as much energy locally and still be better off than shipping. Those tankers and container ships are consistently overlooked in regards to efficiency and pollution but are still running on the same tech from the 1950's and 60's.

If they increase it by 248MW, it will certainly be enough to power anyone's servers.

Sorry, color codes are simply too difficult for us to understand, especially when it never changes. The new system has two levels:
1. Fucked
and
2. Place your head firmly between you legs, and kiss your ass goodbye.

The best part is how the haters aren't the ones who were being sued. They have no vested interest, and nothing to lose.
Isn't that usually the case?
