there are many background tasks running all the time, crunching alot of data, beside serving pages
most of the data fits nicely into the RAM (database is 12GB, most of that is log data) and the SSD drive helps alot, average loads are 2.5 @ 50% idle
also the application/site is highly tweaked and designed from the ground up
backups are done to another server on local network and to backup server on another continent which is configured to take over if theres hardware failure
Not at all, i just watched the DS9 episode Paradise Lost from season 4
it charts how a civilian government on earth is nearly overthrown by a core of starfleet officers who are paranoid about possible Changeling infiltration
great episode! and it has a lesson for modern times:
"Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither."
I have to say it kept me on edge of seat grinning, the detail and visuals were stunning, the music was very very well done!
As for the characters, the acting was quite good, i can see some of them growin
Im delighted to have a new Stargate to watch, and this new direction lets be honest SG1 last seasons and SGA got very tired and boring
Thats what i love about this, I dont feel like im watchin yet another McGuiver episode or can predict the ending by watching the first few minutes
Stargate Universe has what was lost about Season 2 of SG1, not knowing what happens when you step thru the gate! last few seasons of Atlantis were diabolical imho

with so many commercial breaks you either have a drink problem or/and bladder problem
This could be a backdoor entry!
thats a good way to describe how China is shafting the US which has become complacent
yes really
forgot to mention, the site makes heavy use of javascript/ajax so the pageview figures are deceptive, considering there are alot of asynch requests
theres 745 Queries per second avg (see http://pastebin.com/m7f6415a1)

interesting thanks @ac, anyone else feel to correct my back of napkin calculations
actually i had 0 downtime this year
i dont see how amazon can justify and order of magnitude difference in costs
see my reply before yours:
http://aws.amazon.com/rds/#pricing
Extra Large DB Instance 15 GB 8 ECUs $0.88 USD / hour
thats $642.4 / month
2,149,784,446 queries/ month @ $0.10 per 1 million I/O requests
thats another $214.9
data transfer is about 5-10mbit month between database and php/server @ First 10 TB per Month $0.17 per GB
thats another $800 or so
this amazon thing is an absolute ripoff
and so far i have had no downtime this year, compare that to the much publicized amazon downtimes ;)
Are you taking into account what the 8core xeon server with 16 GB RAM costed you and what it will cost in the future to replace it?
its rented, no upfront costs, no setup costs
and it runs an nginx web server and php-fpm instances running the site as well as the DB
cpu: E5410 8x @ 2.33GHz
ram: 16GB DDR2-667 ECC Registered
disk: 32GB SSD (OCZ-VERTEX)
bandwidth: 10TB/month
google analytics visitors/month: 7,026,784
google analytics pageviews/month: 27,389,317
mysql queries/month: 2,149,784,446
alexa ~1000 (/. is ~1100)
I run a site larger than slashdot
it costs 150 euro a month for an 8core xeon server with 16GB ram
it would cost me well over 1500 dollars for same to be hosted on Amazon
lol!
now we are gonna get another terrible movie, and its gonna be called... "2020"

Yeh :(
it become more about flying around in spaceships than going thru the bloody gate
I have to say it kept me on edge of seat grinning, the detail and visuals were stunning, the music was very very well done!
