you must not host anything connected with any illegal acts. Such as a torrent file that is used for illegal purposes.
..or a link to a torrent file...
..or a link to a page that links to a page that links to a torrent file...
Your argument basically makes Google illegal, so doesnt really wash. While it may very well be that as-written, Google is illegal in the country, we know that in fact it is not considered so in-practice.
If they can, they really should disable the generation of that. It's a useless artifact of the broken ASP.NET WebForms approach, which isn't really even necessary for a blog like theirs.
I know what UDP broadcast packets are. You missed the point in that it doesnt matter what they are. The existence of UDP broadcast in no way validates how this MDNS operates.
MDNS is sloth and while in the confines of your typical LAN its only minor sloth, its still sloth. There is a better way even under those confines, so its design is inherently wasteful and flawed.
Broadcast packets blah blah blah.. its lost on me. "Its bad because we used broadcast packets" is an excuse, and is not the same as "its bad because even though we minimized the need for packets, they still must be broadcast" which is an explanation. The later simply isnt true.
You typo'd an 8 instead of a 3? Lying piece of shit. You were obviously transcribing and MISREAD the number, which tells me the facts: You are walking on the thin ice of on-demand google search knowledge.. prior to me pointing it out, you had no fucking idea what XP/64 was based on. You made claims that were bullshit, and have been trying to google your way out of it.
Doesnt. Fucking. Work. When. You. Were. Wrong.
Also, games?
Also, buggy memory manager of which a game is a single example of the problem?
You don't get month long uptime out of a heavily used XP/64, because of its memory manager. In the case of GTA 4 usage, your uptime is limited to about 30 minites before you have to reboot to correct the fragmentation. Its only a matter of time.
Now stop being an ignorant prick. Your googling does not trump actual fucking real world knowledge.
What does this have to do with anything? Both systems need a magnetic hard drive. Thats 32GB SSD is effectively *free* if you go with the 2GB system instead of the 6GB system.
So what point do you have now that I had to explain the obvious to you?
But the quadratic growth in number of actual packets in the air due to lack of real broadcast packets makes things suck.
Exactly. The idea that "WiFi doesnt have broadcast functionality" is lost on me. I don't care what excuse there is for why there are 4+ packets per second per machine if that 4+ is an unreasonable amount for what is being accomplished...
It is an unreasonable amount, IMHO.
Imagine that instead of 21 sources, its 100 sources? Does that mean 20+ packets per second per machine? Really? The cafeteria where I work (12,000 employees or so) has 100 or so people fucking around with their iphones and androids pretty much around the clock, 7 days a week.
...no service pack 3 for XP/64, which essentially means that XP/64 is still using the old memory manager that amazingly somehow fragments a fucking virtual memory architecture. Thats not even supposed to be possible, but there it is. Its the reason that GTA 4 wont run for very long on an XP/64 system without the textures going low-res followed by non-existent.
..and XP/64 isnt based on Windows Server 2008, its based on Windows Server 2003
I can pick up a business class motherboard and processor, combined, for under $100. I just built a new box for my father and by far the most expensive line item was the memory chips. Dont for a second claim that memory is cheap.
Worth it? Up to a point, yes. Cheap? No.
The poster is claiming that 1GB is enough. I claim that more than 2GB is a complete waste of money for an office setting. You seem to think that the sky is the limit. You are wrong.
For the price of a 6GB DDR3 kit, you can instead get a 2GB kit and a 32GB SSD (high performance 230MB/s and 170MB/s)
There is just no fucking way (it can't even be argued) that the 6GB kit is going to mean more productivity over the 2GB+32GB, hence your theory that more and more memory is better is horseshit.
Facts not in evidence, hence this slashdot submitter and his query. Show that it will make people more productive.. or at least give evidence that its possible that it might
A smart mid- to long-term investor with investments in solid companies sees a market crash and says, "Cool! A Sale!" right before calling his broker and ordering as much as he can afford.
Exactly. When the housing crisis hit, I sat there at work listening to my coworkers saying the dumbest fucking shit imaginable. Some of them even altered their 401K status to have no money invested during the period.
You couldn't even explain to them how stupid they were being. They just wouldn't listen. They lacked the ability to comprehend.
However, nobody is suggesting that. People are suggesting:
-Prices update continuously
-But you can't trade except in one shot with everyone else at the end of the trading day.
Prices change only when people trade, hence prices cannot simultaneously "update instantly" AND "can't trade except.. end of the trading day"
You can't have both.
These high frequency traders are the liquidity in the market. To put it in geek terms, they are the buffer. The event in question was essentially a buffer overflow.
Do you realize how wide the swings would be in your once-a-day scenario?
What you are trying to do is add punctuation to the system. Please explain why punctuation is good, and then explain why a 24 hour punctuation is better than 1 hour, or 1 minute.
The traders skimming the sub-second trading are angling for very small margins... fractions of a percentage point. So if you sell your $100 worth of AT&T, and these guys might be taking a few pennies of it.. and I say might because if they werent doing what they are doing, you have no idea what the price would be. The price would certainly be more volatile, because instead of Mr Sub-Second jumping in when the price moves a penny, its Mr Sub-Week jumping in when the price moves a dollar. Either way, you are selling to people jumping in. These middle-men are buffers that make the system work.
The detractors don't care. To them, Opera uses as much memory as Firefox. "See! Look at what Task Manager says!"
Of course, people who adopted Opera/because/ they were in a memory starved situation, know exactly how bloated IE, FF, Safari, and Chrome are. Even Chrome is fat assed pig.
I started using Opera back when Netscape was still what ISP's shipped to customers. I was running a 386/40 with 4MB of ram (and Windows 3.1 when I had to) and Netscape was a disk thrashing piece of garbage. Meanwhile a ready-to-run Opera install FIT ON A FLOPPY and I could comfortably MULTITASK with other apps without any swapping.
While Opera certainly requires more memory than it used to, its still way better than the others, and that hasnt meant skimping on features.
TFA is about California and its already in place state-wide authority on textbook purchases being used to "counteract" Texas, and this isn't unprecedented for California. In 2006 the California State Board of Education voted to and approved 70 changes to (edits of!) textbooks used within the state during California textbook controversy over Hindu history. Changes included "the removal of sentences from the textbooks that claimed that men had 'other' rights than women, and the editing of other sentences dealing with the caste system."
Thats liberal slant through and through. Altering history so that it appears like Men and Women have been equal thoughout Hindu history. The "idea" that "Men and Women are equal" trumped BEING FUCKING HISTORICALLY ACCURATE.
You fuckers have your head in the sand. There is a very strong bias in the textbooks.

Actually, what you just said would be true - if it weren't for the fact that Google actively removes links to infringing content.
Google does not remove links to links to links to infringing content.

Are you suggesting a rewrite?
Actually it seems to me that Firefox is right back where Netscape was...
...too bloated to fix. Where its not bloated, it seems to suffer from Fancy Design Syndrome.
Ethernet has the concept of a "broadcast packet".

I have my facts right. It was a typo.

32GB SSD will just fit OS + office.

Get your fucking facts right.

2GB is fine for the office. REALLY.
especially if it makes people more productive.
Facts not in evidence, hence this slashdot submitter and his query. Show that it will make people more productive.. or at least give evidence that its possible that it might
Wouldn't you prefer this.
Look at it this way:
...over 45 minutes...
...and 21 sources...
259932 MDNS packets
Thats 5776 packets per minute, 275 packets per minute per machine.. or an average of 4.6 packets per second per machine, of just MDNS traffic.
Now, this shit does what, exactly? Why exactly does it need to spam the network every 220ms?
You know how much crapware gets loaded on that thing?

people pay real money for virtual money?
"real" money? You mean like Gold?
Only when the memory is available.
Run both Opera and Firefox on memory starved systems and you will change your tune.
In this case, 'fix it' for many of the posters here is 'delete most of the code'
You are kidding, right?
So I jump on your computer and browse to red-hot-midget-porn.net and find that the zoom level isnt the default value...
Do I conclude that (A) you don't like red-hot-midget-porn?, or (B) you do like red-hot-midget-porn?
Well in any case, I'm pretty sure that everyone likes red-hot-midget-porn, so maybe this is a bad example.
If this is true, then it raises issues of quality control, not trust
You trust companies with shitty quality control.... when they make quality claims?
You don't think?? Thats right.

Who has claimed that Thomas Jefferson is fictional?
You got modded insightful and were lucky that the modders dont know dick about this issue. Texas is claiming this and I am not claiming it either.
The only person who seems to be claiming it is you, the person who invented the idea.
