  1. Re:huh? on NTP Pool Reaches 1000 Servers, Needs More · · Score: 1

    NTP traffic is often not at a constant rate. There a spikes and periodic peaks. More servers in the pool would help spread the load during peaks.

  2. Re:Buddhism on Meditation in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Whatever dogma you find in Buddhist sects is just accumulated crud gathered from 2500 years of history. The fundamental principles of Buddhism reject all dogma. Early canonical texts expressly teach that the only way to the Truth is through personnal rediscovery of it through your own experience. Scriptures are just a guide. I am not so sure that pushing meditation as a productivity booster is a good idea. This is kind of missing the point of it.

  3. Comparing apples with apples? on Giving Up on Mars Polar Lander · · Score: 1

    Can you compare oceanographic research engineering with space engineering? Once you send a deep space probe into space you have absolutely no change to repair it for the remaining _years_ of its mission. If a deep sea probe fails can you not retrieve it for repairs? The high cost of robotic space missions is the cost of tring to ensure that a machine can operate without repair over millions of miles travel during missions usually several years long.
