But you move much more data internally than externally. All computing systems are built like that. You have much more bandwidth from memory to CPU than to disk.
If you are replicating data, then you do not have more data flowing out of your data center than you have data flowing in you data center. Assuming symmetric links you can always replicate all your data.
If you are periodically replicating ALL your data instead of sending diff, then you will hit a bottleneck whatever your out bandwidth is.
100Gbit is super expensive as soon as you are not "local". If you need higher bandwidth, you might consider building you data center accross the street of the other one.
I always like talking to an actual human better. I spend enough time dealing with (or building) automatic systems. And I know how much they suck. The machine at the airport NEVER recognize my passport. Voice system NEVER recognize my foreign accent. Systems ALWAYS assume you know why you are there or the proper term for what you are trying to do or the procedure.
It probably is just some PR stunt. But it indicates they actually do read them and consider them. Let's not cast them a stone since they are listening this time:)
Internet connection are ridiculously expensive in the US. I pay $30/month for just internet at 3Mbps from TWC. That is so ridiculously expensive. 30Mbps is priced at $70. In france, I could get 30Mbps with internet and phone service at 30euros a month. Nowadays, France is considered expensive in Europe.
Internet pricing in the US is really ridiculous. I guess it mainly comes from the reliance on private cable network. (In france, we rely mainly on the public phone network.) Hell in my appartment, they installed a second cable line to support an other cable operator. How stupid is that?
I agree with that. The WiiU is too expensive, that's why I did not buy one already. $350 is too much. On top of that, it only allow you to play a small amount of games I am interested in. The current game release sucks. I said I would buy one in February when rayman is released, but it is postponed until september. I guess I'll wait for good games to be released .
slashdot does not publish so many articles everyday. Probably less than 30. How difficult is it to actually RTFA before publishing the summary and title?
answer is easy, stop selling locked phone at $20 with a footnot with a 70 years contract. Or include a condition in the 2 year contract that there is a huge fee per remaining month if you decide to cancel your contract. But why keep it locked?
"Congresspeople shouldn't represent geographical regions, but specific groups of people, where ever they are. So every two years we hold an election, the top 435 get elected, and their constituents are the specific people that voted for them."
That's an interesting idea. But the problem is that you need to rewrite the constitution to a fundamental level to achieve that. You are pretty much talking about abolishing the notion of "state" and the "federal" governement does everything. Good luck convincing people to make a new constitution.
Disclaimer: I live in the USA but I am a foreigner. So my understanding of the organization of the state and federal government is limited.
"That'd be quite effective against a single host, but much less effective against a botnet of thousands, each of which gets their quota of 5 tries..."
I disagree with that. Assuming an attacker controls one million bots which is a reasonably big botnet (the largest known peaked at 30 million). That only give him 5 million tries to guess a valid login/password pair. But let's assume, the attacker already knows the login.
Where do you start? There is about 1 million words in the english language. So a simple password choice of one (truely) random english word and adding a single random number defeats the botnet in 50% of the cases.
A common password policy (uppercase, lowercase, 8 characters at least, at least one digit and one special character) would be enough to defeat mid sized botnet without having to do anything.
I have been using a galaxy note 10.1 for a couple weeks and that's really useful in my job. Reading and annotating articles on it is a breeze. I can easily provide annotations simply for collaborators on the other side of the world (or just not in their office right now) without having to print the document, annotate it on paper, scan it and send it back by email.
It is definitively useful to me. Of course, reading, writing and annotating takes a significant portion of my time. I understand it might not be everyone's case.
I actually disagree with you. It would actually solve lots of problem. For instance, you could easily claim that wat you implemented is significatively different from what is claimed in the patent. Therefore, you are not violating it.
270 is not bad assuming I can charge that at home or at work. If I need to wait an hour somewhere like a gas station every 270 miles, then it is completely useless to me.
BTW, what do you drive that get you 210 miles a tank? Both my jetta and mini cooper get more than 350.
I think the question should not be what do we have to lose. But whether there is any gain legislating on that.
Why not banning lolcats? lolcats do not (typically) have polical speech or social commentary, so let's just ban it. For sure we are not losing anything of much value. But why do that? People like lolcats.
If you were making anonymous polls to keep either lolcats or porn, I think cats would go out.
"Professor Gail Dines, an expert on pornography and speaker at a recent conference at Reykjavik University." "How exactly did this gentleman become an expert on pornography?"
First, Gail Dines is a gal. And she got a PhD in Sociology according to wikipedia. You know what they say about PhD in Sociology, it is just like an exercise in masturbation. So I guess that's where the expertise come from.
Actually, I used windows 8 on a desktop at a few occasions. For the first 5 minutes where I was completely what the fucked. After that, it went quite well. I think it is a reasonnable OS. (Well, I much as a non open source OS can appear reasonnable to my eyes.)
Part of it is static strings, but some other things might require more complex processing. The internationalization features of android are quite large and definitely more complicated than switching strings.
Though as a first cut, that's probably good enough.
I am a researcher which publishes (some of) my results on arxiv. I always chose the open-access-only option which allow arxiv to basically do nothing else than show the pdf and change file format. I am not even sure it allows relayouting.
I could put them under some various CC license. But I do not for the following reasons: -It is unclear to me whether I am actually allowed to do that. -I would need to convince my co-authors. -If some guy make an other version of the article by changing the result, it might look really bad on me. -If some guy "fix" a typo, he might not realized he changed the meaning. Some sentences and paragraphs in article are carefully crafted. Sometimes, editorial changes changes the meaning of things. -If somebody add a stupid figure, he will add his name on my paper. screw that.
number of the form 2^n-1 are Mersenne numbers which are much more likely to be prime than a randomly chosen odd number. Also, we have "simple" test for these number to weed out many Mersenne numbers that are not prime. Once you have a Mersenne number that passed the "simple" primality test, there is a good chance that it will really be a prime number.
Apparently, passed some times, the burden of the proof is hers. And since now you can get full of debt just by waving some numbers on a computer, it became impossible to prove the debt does not come from you.
The debt are small but numerous (3 or 4 times $1000). I am sure a lawyer can fix that. But they cost just more than the debt. So it is actually easier to pay.

Why do they need my name and address? They're not shipping me anything.
I wish they did!

Actually in France, suicide is illegal. Though I don't think anybody ever got charged for attempting to commit suicide...
