Hardware implemented caching is the way to go. There are 'hybrid drives' available now, which automatically cache disk access to SSD. These are very specific for the task and way more efficient than any software implementation.
There were plenty of other banks/insurance_companies/investment_companies too. That did not disqualify them from being included in the too_big_to_fail list.
Mmmm are you sure not talking about the annoying Extension (extensions as in adblock, betterprivacy) updates? Because I have almost never be annoyed by any plugin installation/update (Except when I installed adobe flash on windows, when it wanted me to restart all browsers to start installation).
LOL, lower castes? In which century are you in? Of course I am not claiming everyone in India receives the same opportunities and rights. The rich can always maneuver themselves out of courts/police, keep themselves safe from murderers, have their children well educated, get their children and themselves jobs. But it happens in every country, not just India.
Because they are not the only store in town! If I am allowed to buy from only a single store and they dont stock certain products, I would be pretty pissed off. If they specifically reject products that compete with their own products, I would consider them pretty much EVIL.
You are not actually spoofing your caller ID. It is just that Google is calling you and the other person and conferencing you both. This can no way be construed as caller ID spoofing.
They no longer pay full taxes in the US.Read the last year's news on IBM and Microsoft.
Er, then they should be in jail. They would have paid what was legally required of them. And in case you are referring to tax breaks, remember we are talking about the executives here. And AFAIK executives never get tax breaks from the govt.
mmm. So if China offered to build our jets and tanks and NSA computers... we should go based on them being the cheapest company that was reliable.
If you are not aware of, very few chips used by the NSA are actually manufactured by DARPA labs. The rest come from China. And the parts of tanks and jets come from China too.
Of *course* the US government should give out US government money based on whether the companies are full of people who support the country. (and so should any other country).
Then people should never complain about govt spending. The govt must be allowed to spent more provided they claim that it benefits the US citizens. And corruption would become rampant -- if you want your buddy to get the contract, just find some arbitrary parameter which makes your buddy look the best and award the contract to him.
should we give IBM government contracts from united states citizens taxes meant to promote jobs if IBM is going to take those dollars and spend them overseas?
Taxes meant to promote jobs? Mmm those are new to me. Ok assuming that a hypothetical tax to promote jobs exist, that portion of tax money should not be awarded to IBM.
If we arbitrarily decide that IBM has crossed the line- we can lobby against further tax breaks and contracts.
Ahh finally a point I sort of agree with. IBM should not be given tax breaks in my opinion. Its unfair in so many ways.
And since you still claim "it is gonna fix itself". Why bother? Let it fix itself. Dont try to fiddle with it and make it worse. Just relax, and watch the problem fix itself.
If Microsoft and IBM likes chinese and indian labor so much- how about making the executives move there.
Then if they cross the government, they can simply disappear at night (in china) or perhaps be killed by some random extremist (india).
But no... they stay in the u.s. reaping the benefits of our legal system, police, military protection, democracy and "relative" safety (i.e. our government does bad things too- but not to the wealthy much any more).
They pay taxes in the US, so they are entitled to above benefits.
If IBM has 1000 employees in the US and 90000 employees overseas- then why should they get us government work any more.
Mmm so according to you, the US govt should award contracts to the company that employs most number of people in the US? Mmm strange... I for one would prefer it to be by merit (the cheapest among the list of companies that are considered capable and reliable)
Seriously-- this is going to fix itself. Rampant inflation in china and india (over 100% on the low end of society) combined with deflation here and the retiring baby boomers should give us some relief in under five years.
Likewise, it's reached a point where the u.s. consumer isn't willing to spend future money any more because that future money is increasingly dubious.
Overseas capitalism wouldn't be so bad if it resulted in cheaper prices here. But it doesn't. Laws protect the right to sell drugs for 1/50th of the cost there and forbid importation here. To sell movies for $2.50 there and $20.00 here. You can't have it both ways. You can't ship the jobs over there AND keep charging 10 to 20 times as much for products in the U.S.
Good, if its gonna fix itself, let it continue. There is nothing to be angry about it then, right?
Gasoline density is ~ 3.4 pounds/gallon. So assuming you want a full fuel range of 2752 Miles, you need a gallon of gas, which is 3.4 pounds. Now 100-pound figure doesnt seem any less impressive than 96 pounds, does it?
Now if were to count humans, they unfortunately on average weight 180 pounds/person.

What does it cost to move the documents you have on google docs? often a lot
What does it cost change banks when that bank fails and takes your life savings with it?
Actually nothing(provided the bank is covered by FDIC, of course; which literally means any bank)

LOL, google had cloned iPad, even before iPad was announced. Search for "android tablets" and you will plenty of them.
Its Apple that has hyping everything to be a clone of iPad.
Jobs *is* Pythagoras you insensitive clod!!
If only Comcast was not a monopoly in my area.

I dont think any one would want Yahoo as default search
Er, no, you should go on a real rampage for it to work. A virtual one does not count.
Apparently per-core licensing is only for Windows Server, and not SQL Server.
Any platform that supports SIP though wifi

If that fails, just write a rule "if message contains the word(s) SHA place in inbox".
Will be abused by spammers.

Someone should report this to Chrome team and claim the $500 prize.
Firefox handles it well, the problem is only with Chrome
The point, is that the guy was rich.

For all we know the guy may have so much debt, that his net worth is 0 (or in other words bankrupt).
Just the devils advocate.
Ahh thanks for the correction. I guess i screwed up converting from metric :). In metric its 740 kg/cu.m
