  1. Re:For me on What Will It Take To Run a 2-Hour Marathon? · · Score: 1

    Seriously. I hate 'Message in a bottle' too.

  2. Re:Advert? on Operating Systems Still Matter In a Containerized World · · Score: 2

    In what sense is a Docker container thicker than a VM? I always thought it was thinner/lighter - e.g. A host can allocate varying amounts of memory to a container (with optional limits). Whereas running a VM will always put you back that much memory on its host.

  3. so make it higher everytime, already on Musk Lashes Back Over Tesla Fire Controversy · · Score: 1

    "Highway speeds" is when you'd most want a low center-of-mass in terms of improving driving quality. If you're going to increase it for highway speeds, maybe just make it higher, always.

    Just use a US-based proxy server to visit that page. That's how I listen to Pandora/Spotify.

  8. Re:The real reason nuclear power is not taking off on Dominion Announces Plans To Close Kewaunee Nuclear Power Station In 2013 · · Score: 1

    To the people who replied to this post with reasoned arguments - Thank You. I was not passing any moral judgements regarding the externalized costs of fossil fuels - I personally think it's wrong coal power plants are allowed to do that. But I also think that our money, here and now, is better spent on wind and solar tech than on nuclear (0.5B failures like Solyndra notwithstanding). A time may come when the bang-for-buck shifts the other way, but it's not now. To my dear downmodder: Sorry, I learned my lesson, I will only ever post stuff that complies with the groupthink guidelines - please be kind enough to send me link where I can read them, before you downmod this post as well. Many thanks.

  9. The real reason nuclear power is not taking off on Dominion Announces Plans To Close Kewaunee Nuclear Power Station In 2013 · · Score: 1, Troll

    To my pro-nuclear friends: This is as clear evidence as you're gonna get why nuclear power is not taking off. It's not nut-job environmentalists, it's not NIMBY, it's not some grand conspiracy. Nuclear is just too freaking expensive to operate with any semblance of reasonable safety.

    Why do you feel that argument have facts for those who think and arguments for those who reason?

  11. Guinness milkshake on How Many Seconds Would It Take To Crack Your Password? · · Score: 1

    Apparently Steve and I share the same taste in food, if not passwords. The pic being taken at Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe in Oakland CA who make a mean Guinness milkshake, yum. Highly recommended to those in the area.

  14. Comparison against Grails on Rails 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I've been a C/C++ programmer for a fair bit, and am starting to dabble in some web-dev for a startup idea a couple friends have. Can someone tell me how the newer versions of Rails/Ruby compare against the newer versions of Grails/Groovy? I don't want intend for this to be a troll/flame fest, I'm just under-informed on the tradeoffs. Thanks in advance for any info.

  15. Give us the source on $1M Prize For Finding Cause of Unintended Acceleration · · Score: 3, Informative

    Never mind the million dollars, give us the source to all the drive-by-wire modules so we can find the race condition (literally!) for you.

  16. Secondary problem - spinning up HDD on Ars Analysis Calls Windows 7 Memory Usage Claims "Scaremongering" · · Score: 1

    It seems a secondary problem using SuperFetch, is that the HDD is woken up, or prevented from spinning-down when it otherwise could have been. ie. Bad notebook/netbook battery life. Anyone with insight into this?

    I don't believe in ... (2) supporting someone else's kids when you have never had any.

    Why not? Eventually those kids will enter the workforce and be supporting your Social Sec/Medicare. Or if you're rich enough to have your investments/401K etc support you fully, it's still the new workforce that keeps the economy running that makes sure your investments don't drop to $0.

    That is to say, I saw the situation differently than my leaders, and I took some initiative to accomplish the mission.

    I think the "group think" starts when they convinced you that their mission was your mission.
