Those with enough self control to not eat badly all the time and to exercise regularly are healthier. Those with enough self control to apply themselves to their schoolwork before playing are more successful. I would never have guessed.
You have an answer, don't you? What do you make of it?
Then that chef Ramsey dude wouldn't be richer then dirt./fail
Yeah, buddy, go ahead and, possibly, abuse everybody the way Ramsey does. Should be a behavior required for being successful - my manager seems to think so as well. Just let aside the pesky control on yourself and, for God's sake, don't take any time to think what Ramsey actually controlled in himself to acquire his kitchen management skills; this is a too deep detail, can't be important if it is non-obvious.
Old hacker mentality: you just don't comply with a restriction, you invent a new clever way to get around it ("go" in this case? As it was the PDP/UNIX?). Compliance is definitely not aligned with invention; not saying that non-compliance is sufficient for invention, but seems to me as being necessary.
Already posted - can't mod you up. But I can give you a suggestion: fetch "Yes minister" for yourself, enjoy it and stop being worried about the effects of your courageous posting will have on the modding of your posts - nothing irreversible or of importance is lost.
Jesus H Christ, why is a former comedian the smartest politician we have? It's embarrassing that this guy has to come to Washington to kick some sense into them just because our elite educational institutions have been pumping out the smartest dumb fucks on the planet for years.
Because, to be a good comedian, one needs to be critical about the state of things (union included) and witty. Add to it a good amount of emotional intelligence (to make the public resonate and read the reactions of the public in real-time).
By contrast, a 2011-standard-politician job description is to play/act as scripted by its corporate "sponsors", thinking by her/himself is a no-no.
Were they invented for short term profit, like OP alluded to? (Hint: Yes.)
Hmmm... short term profit you say.
You think 15 years of work was a short for Denis Papin (the first to construct a steam-powered boat)? Or do you call profit being buried in a pauper's pit?
You reckon the improvements Watt brought to a previous steam engine took shorter than developing the internet?
They could offer moon mansions for the people in Detroit. It's not like their place is getting any better soon...
Better? Aren't there any unoccupied houses in Detroit? Or a mansion on the Moon is much cheaper? Perhaps is that mansion a better security against a mortgage?
Most of these technologies then furthered peaceful means. If there's no short-term profit in developing a technology, the military is the next best bet, provided it can somehow be adapted to make killing people easier.
Happens so only for the last 70-100 years and, again, not exclusively so: nano-technologies, genetics and Large Hadron Collider were not.
Steam engine (the reason for being out from feudalism and stepped into industrialization) was not invented for military purposes. Printed press wasn't either.
Even if it would be so, does it mean that we should bet always on military? Even worse, perhaps creating the needs the army need to react?
"no more swapping, everything is non-volatile-RAM, with constant addressing cost" becomes plausible
Wouldn't Non-Volatile memory just be called memory esp. given that, by definition, memory recalls past events.
How far back to recall and still be named a memory?
This family of memory is not only plausible, it has existed before -- it is how the model of a "Turing Machine" operates.
Yes, I remember them. Density and random-access were indeed lacking.
What else will change in the mindset of programmers/sysadms when the RAM (heap and stack) and HDD are (again) not distiguishable anymore? Like:
1. "Buffer overflow and starting to execute the JPEG file at addr 1.5 TB"
2. "Hey dude? Where is my C:\ drive?"
3. "Huh? The memory-mapped-files are deprecated?"
4. "memory allocation fails. Please try to delete or achive some of you older files"
5. "I want the process with PIDx backed-up"
6. "Ah... the notion of a smart-file-pointer... the GC deletes the file when no longer referenced".
On another note: Perhaps the "no more swapping" model you speak of would draw less power if it used swapping to help cope with fragmentation? Or, perhaps each allocation unit (page), could be turned on or off individually.
Cost (in terms of energy) to "swap" vs "defragment". Granted, replacing "swapping" with "allocation unit on/off switching may be a solution.
Higgs Boson gets discovered (but turns to be a lepton instead - more work for the theorists), Julian Assange receives Nobel Peace prize and is hired by the NSA, Obama's health care passes the senate with 100% aye-s.
"We believe our new memory device will enable power-proportional computing, by allowing memory to be turned off during periods of low use without affecting performance," said Franzon.
Huh! A new chapter opens in the "program/OS optimization" - heap fragmentation will have an impact on the power your computer consumes, even when not swapping (assuming the high density and non-volatility will render HDD obsolete... a "no more swapping, everything is non-volatile-RAM, with constant addressing cost" becomes plausible).
When Facebook does something right, they should be commended. They easily could have shrugged their shoulders and said, "Not our problem!"
But,,, it was their problem... and a serious threat to the business.
Assume the Tunisian clique would be still in power: with such a trove of private data in their possession, it was unfair competition for FB! As the owner, FB has and need to maintain the monopoly on how this data is to be exploited. Anything else is just communism.
Ask a dive instructor who is old enough, and they'll tell you about The Time I Saw a Burst Disc Retention Cage Shoot Through The Side Of Someone's Trunk And Through The Car Next To It.
Also, burst disks are not 100% reliable, nor are the correct disks always installed.
So, don't use bursts disks, pick another (more reliable) version of a release valve (it's not like burst disks are the only way to do it).
(though if you heat the high pressure tank it explodes more violently, since the internal pressure depends on the temperature)
Use a sacrificial valve (introduce a "defect" on purpose to control in which point in which the tank will blow. No explosion when over-pressurized/heated).
So if I can't start my engine and my pressure tank is empty, how do I jump start it? Connect a high-pressure line from another vehicle with the same kind of accumulator? Or do I have to tow-start it?
Would help if you'd have had baked beans for the dinner a night before. Though... mileage may vary.
Wait a minute... isn't that why people didn't want hydrogen cars in the first place?
No, it is because pure hydrogen has a lower energy density the hydrocarbons and it's highly difficult to store hydrogen (the tiny bastard uses the pores of the steel container to escape). See hydrogen storage.
What about supercapacitors?
Expensive like hell.
Those would be much safer than high-pressed nitrogen.
Would it, now? Just what you think happens when the hundreds of ampere*hours discharges through you body in the shortest time possible?
Ah, you say: why through my body and not through the car's body? I ask you in return: why the nitrogen tank should explode instead of releasing all the gas through a "sacrificial valve"?
Just because it constitutes 78.08% by volume of Earth's atmosphere doesn't mean we should trap it inside high-pressure cylinders. What will PETG say?
they can be ruthless and 'take no prisoners'. it would last a while then things would settle down.
Yeap, already happened. Many times over. Saddam is the first "dark knight" to spring in mind, Noriega would be another... Careful what you wish for, it may be granted.

Learn that people who do not agree with you can do so for intelligent, well-researched, valid reasons.
Do you have a "wish of death-by-troll-modding" to post such opinions on /.? (wink)

Isn't this a dupe? I thought I saw it last week.
Actually, don't I see this same article _every_ week?
Nope... must be that your memory got corrupted... cosmic radiation I guess (I might be wrong, though... what if somebody rebooted me meantime?)

I hope there's a turbo button that vents the nitrogen to a rocket nozzle for when you want to pass someone.
Only if your van uses a 486 CPU. After that, it's just nothing or adjusting your BIOS setting (which requires a cold-reboot most of the time).
Your inflatable beach toys will be ready for fun in no time!
And the stout is so much smoother when using N2 instead of CO2.

Dear GOD please learn about units. kw*sec = kJ.
Given the prayer, I'd say you have an unusual relation with your GOD.
If it's holding 5000 PSI it will be pretty difficult to crush.
Puncture, then? Or maybe just a tiny crack will do?
