I've got news for you guys - the vast majority of people don't give a rat's rear end whether it, or any other piece of software, is open source or not.
Great!!! As I care much less what the vast majority of people think than they do care about the rat's end, maybe it is an opportunity to get more contacts more relevant for me that in other places?
In other words, why does a place need to be crowded to be attractive?
looking at naked bodies full time when until now they've had very little exposure. It takes awhile to desensitize yourself to the constant nudity and and have it stop distracting you.
Ask any bouncer at a strip club: The first few weeks they couldn't stop looking, but after awhile, a naked woman can walk right past them and it barely registers because it's not new anymore. Happens all the time. And they are focused on the job now.
The specific difference between a bouncer at a strip-club and the bunch of people which are required to look at all naked bodies: the TSA cannot be picky at the aesthetic aspect of the subjects they need to look at.
Can you exclude, as a possible cause for the oversight, the nausea caused by the view of the(allegedly) Adam's penis sooo small in size? For all we know, it might have been quite traumatic
BTW (and I'm only joking... I really am): would I be TSA and be ridiculed on YouTube, I might be tempted to post on the same space the clip from the scanner, showing Adam's penis (if indeed small... if not, they really have no excuse).
Buy a quality product that will last you the rest of your life instead of one you have to throw away next week. And if you can't afford it right now? Save up until you have the money for it. Trust me. You'll appreciate it more.
And if you can't afford it right now? Save up until you have the money for it. Trust me. You'll appreciate it more.
Devil's advocate here... yeap, still saving for the T-shirt and underwear that will last me a lifetime... Trouble is: they weren't yet invented, much less produced in my backyard. Choice, choices... do I buy them "Made in China" or go naked in public?
Other than that, I tend to agree with you on the matter of principle, and I'm applying every time I can afford. The thing is: life's a bitch, not that simple as to follow a single/simple principle.
Yeah right, even TFS states that among the emissions is not just soot but also sulfur, nitrous oxides and stuff like that. Then again, I bet you wouldn't mind some sulfuric acid in your food either, would you?
Everybody knows that sulphur is toxic in any quantities and none of the living organisms needs it...
Oh, wait... what about Rieske protein, present in cytochrome complexes in plants, animals and bacteria?
Also, did you ever note the stench of a decomposing piece of meat? Turns out most of it is given by the H2S... by the smell of it, methinks there should be a non-trivial amount of sulphur in there.
That may mean a reduction in life style, but it's something you have to accept eventually.
(hmmm... you seems so willing to sacrifice my lifestyle... what about yours?) Then
The knick-knacks at the dollar store though? I don't have much sympathy if that particular valve is shut off.
Better still... download them over the Internet.
Of course I'm kidding... actually going on a tangent (what would/. be good for, other than switching the thoughts from useful work, so why not continue?)... anyway, that's a major difference between IT and industries producing tangible goods: while for the later one can quantify the impact on environment of off-shoring/outsourcing practices, in IT the impact is too small to count.
Now that the context is set, here comes the question: would you be willing to sacrifice your life-style (not mine) in the conditions your everyday knick-knacks costs you 3-4 times over, while living under the constant risk of having your job outsourced? (and, if you are not working in IT, why do you feel entitled to recommend solutions that "should be good for all"?)
Dude, what the fuck, that's only 48 cores. How does that get you anywhere close to 1000?
Well, Watson, that's elementary...
The correct question should have been: "How many watts one needs to dissipate"... because the temperature is given by "How high and still have the transistors working".
In regards with the power dissipation: the architecture would have a common component (event passing, RAM fetches, etc) and N cores. Assuming each core needs to dissipate the same power (say, at peak utilization) and assuming the 25-125 Watts being the range defined by "1 core used" to "all 48 cores used", some simple linear algebra gives: power dissipated/core approx 2 watts (a bit more actually) with the "common component" eating approx 23 Watts.
Therefore, on top of the computation benefits derived from fully utilizing 1000 cores, one would have a pretty good heat source: 2150 Watts or so. One's choice what to do with it, but it's far too high for a domestic-sized slow cooker (the dished would come with a weird burned taste).
Satisfied, now?
If not, to put the things in perspective, assuming our ancestors (that could use only horses as a source of power) would have wanted to use this computer, they's need approx. 2.68 horses... but hey, wow... what a delight to play the MMORPG so smooth... especially in "farming/grinding" phases.
PS. the above computations are meant to be funny and/or an exercise of approximating based on insufficient data and/or vent some frustration caused by "all work and no play", definitely a wasted time... Ah, yes, some karma would be nice, but not mandatory.
The chip, first fabricated with a 45-nanometer process at Intel facilities about a year ago, is actually a six-by-four array of tiles, each tile containing two cores. It has more than 1.3 billion transistors and consumes from 25 to 125 watts.
From the article: "By installing the TCP/IP protocol on the data link layer, the team was able to run a separate Linux-based operating system on each core. Mattson noted that while it would be possible to run a 48-node Linux cluster on the chip, it "would be boring."
Huh?! Boring?! It would have been a nice a first post on Slashdot on the eternal topic - does it run Linux? - to begin with.
The we have all the programming goodies to follow up with.
;) To make the things interesting, each of the cores would have to use a public Inet IPv4 address.
And yet, Yahoo has more subscribers than Gmail. Or at least they were in 2009, the latest figures I can find.
Yeap, I still have my hotmail and yahoo email addresses. Since when these accounts are an asset for MS and Yahoo? (hell, I'm not using them, for about 4 years now... the data related to them are taking some storage space somewhere).
Boils down to lies, damn'd lies and statistics...
And hire some more lawyers to win a case that was already won?
Yes, that's a way better option... for the lawyers.
Assuming Google caused you a higher loss than the amount you receive (and you can demonstrate the loss in the court), you can certainly go for it and cite this case in your suit.
If you didn't lose something, help me understand why are you complaining?
For that matter, we could probably even get away with less letters. Some of them are redundant when you get down to it. What you need are enough letters that you can easily denote all the different sounds that are valid in a language.
But ov kors, zat's a step clos to Euro-English, vat a joy.
If each fork represents a patent, all the philosophers have picked up a fork and now are unable to eat because they don't have enough forks to make a smartphone.
Er.... yeah.
Unfortunately, you're likely to get sued because BadAnalogyGuy owns the patent on making very bad analogies on Slashdot.:-)
This being a reasonable good (even if not perfect) analogy, it doesn't fall under the patented method.
You would do what we did twenty years ago, before mobile phones: run like hell, scream and shout, rather than calmly ringing 000/911 and making sure that the police can get a fix on the position that the bad guy will leave your body.
Yes, I would certainly do the above. However, being able to supplementary call the emergency services is a plus, don't you think?
Think at another: what about having a heart attack? With a coverage map from the telecom company, I can learn in advance were I have coverage and where I don;t. With this nice technology, I only know that maybe I have but maybe a won't, all depends on how many subscribers the telecom has and how many of them are on the street at the moment.
Don't take me wrong, I'm not diminishing the value of the idea or technology: just (mentally) exploring the limits.
How is that worse than just not having a signal cos there is no cell tower in that area, or buildings blocking you, etc?
The contract I have with the telecom provider and the advertised map of coverage. The later informs me where I don't have coverage before I enter the area.
However people can still leave their routers on while they sleep/are at home.
But of course the signal would be weaker.
Would you bet your life on the people letting their routers opened and with free access?
I mean, there's a difference between a contract with a mobile provider (at least, assuming that they can prove it, your estate can sue the telecom if a signal should have been available - as advertised - in the area and it was not) and "maybe the routers would be functional, maybe not".
Deep in the night (what are you doing there?), about to be attacked by muggers, can't dial 000 because is nobody on the street and the cell tower density has been reduced.
On the contrary, kids are the biggest learners. They become intellectually lazy because how the schooling is organized - no education, but taming^H^H^H^H^H training (be good, fit in standards, otherwise will feed you with Ritalin... later, after being promoted with your batch, you'll be a great fool^H^H^H tool for the society). There's somebody else saying it better than me.
Can we escape from the pervasive ads? Sure, people can choose to do whatever they well damn please, but I just don't want this to become the dominant mode of just about every business.
Don't we have enough weaseling in our life as it is?
Pay your book and be free of ads!!
(but not free to lend it to others. No, the book is licensed to you, you don't actually own it, you only pay for us not pestering you with ads... for now).
Expect anything bitter and volatile to be classified as a controlled substance that can only be distributed on the condition that a pile of money is given to one of the major campaign contributing drug companies.
What, are they going to control the growing of wormwood (among others)?
For small rackmount storage, that's not exactly burning up the marketplace.
Without scorching the market place, the figures seems to indicate a successful project in financial terms (in opposition to what the OP said: "They didn't make money").

"It's a lot harder than you'd think to look at your program and think 'how many volts do I really need?'" he [Mattson] said.
First was RAM (640kb should be... doh), then M/GHz, then Watts, now is volts... so, what's next?
(my bet... returning to RAM and the advent of x128)
