I don't see any need to give two-weeks notice to anyone who trolls a forum posting some inane story on what happened when he saw Obama. (You know what I'm talking about, you've seen these posts around here. Yes you have.)
I would delete those posts (and the poster) from any forum I have moderator/sysop rights to. Without notice. A mandatory two-weeks notice would be wonderful for spammers, warez uploaders, trolls, hate-groups, etc.
The author of the blog post hasn't thought this through. But then, that's indicative of most blogs.
Remember, one of the RAIDed disks could fail while rebuilding the RAID array. A failure in one of the disks could set of a domino chain of events that will cause you to replace the entire array over the course of several hours.
Playing against a opponent who consistently out-classes you, and is being a dick about it, is no fun at all.
"Hey, what button do I hit to reload in this game?" -BANG RESPAWN -"Ehr, the reload button, could you tell me where it is? -BLAM RESPAWN -"I just remembered, I've got this netflix dvd at home that I should really see. So, like, bye."
Imagine server-software so craptastically written, that the maximum amount of people that can use the app at any one time is, say: 20. Now, imagine that when you double the hardware capacity, user capacity only goes up by a factor of say 1.4
Still sure you're _only_ going to throw hardware at the issue when business wants the application online for a couple of thousand people?
Entirely possible that the voice of the computer in DS9 was Starfleet voice module 967-C, authorized for proliferation and installation in non-Starfleet facilities. *shrug*
And don't try to compare the Queen Mary with any Starfleet ship now...;)
I agree on not buying anything Blu-Ray until it is broken. But you know, with stories on slashdot like this, I wonder why I should buy anything that has any DRM at all. Doesn't matter if it is successful or not. Because, with this update mechanism of Blu-Ray, once broken, it may re-seal itself. You'll never be sure.
That is not how I want my media. I don't want to play some inane game with the publisher where I try to get the content from some black box and he tries to close it again.
I'm starting to lean more and more to: maybe I'll just never buy anything on Blu-Ray.
It's because of whiners like you, (Yeah, I just called you a whiner, I know, it's not polite or anything) I repeat, because of whiners like you, that the environmentalist morons are able to close down nuclear power plants.
And what comes in its place? Coal plants. Lovely. Lots more toxins, more deaths, more people in the hospital.
Yes, you can store nuclear waste safely for several millenia. The only reason that you think it can't be done, is because you've been listening to these damn tree huggers too much.
Grow a pair, go to the fucking library and read up, would ya?
Actually, some of the reactor designs that are capable of being used for military purposes are also *the very same* reactor designs that are capable of powering human activity until, quite literally, the end of this world (a few hundred billion years?).
The only reason why this is not being done is because of fears they will be used to create weapons. Or just because nuclear power has a bad PR I suppose.
No, we are not surprised. Some of us are just wondering about practical implementations. 1) Image compression 2) Games (video cards use polygons to render 3D scenes, right?) 3)...?
The thing I'm also wondering is, is the output better or worse than a expert algorithm? Could the output of a expert algorithm be used as the input to get this genetic algorithm a head-start?
I see you've written a setter in your code there. Could you please document the need for this method in the procedure review document and defend its addition at the next code review meeting? Thanks. -- Your Boss.
My point is; sometimes procedures appear to exist only to drive people insane.

Space manufacturing only makes sense when you want to use the manufactured goods in space.
Remember, one of the RAIDed disks could fail while rebuilding the RAID array. A failure in one of the disks could set of a domino chain of events that will cause you to replace the entire array over the course of several hours.
Excellent! We can use their demise as yet another cautionary tale.
Signing a 20 year lease for a space port is historic? I'll bet history will have something to say about that. Or rather, it won't.

Exactly. With one change though. If they want to enforce a non-compete, they need to pay the salary the *other* company would have given.
Strange. This seems familiar. Oh, this is how, by law, any non-compete in my country works.

Being irrationally scared of something isn't necessarily bad, just as long as you realize it's irrational.

I have mod points, but, fuck it. I disagree.

aha. Ahaaahahahahaha. Hehehehehe. HAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAAHAHAAAAAAAA.
Wait a second, you were being sarcastic, right?
Sanity at last. Figures he would be anonymous.
O(1)? I'm sure your calculator has a rounding error somewhere.
I currently have gift-certificate (50 EUR) for a free game. I've had it since 3 months ago, and I've yet to buy a game. Why?
Because I already know I will be disappointed. It's happened too many times to ignore, every time I buy a game, it manages to suck.
We must strike now! Else before you know it we'll have dozens of alien comets entering our system. We cannot be seen to allow this behavior.
And you just know that eventually we _will_ find proof of WMD's in the comet's possession. It is inevitable.

Agree, I've encountered bad programmers that had a net negative contribution to the team. Not often, but I have seen it happen.
Management will then ask the programmers to do the verification.
I had to stop reading the summary when PJ basically just blames the mom for Megan's death.
Wow. That just makes my head spin.
Oooooooh, awesome idea. I'm sure some botnet is going to start using it. Seriously, no sarcasm, awesome idea.
