Very interesting post. What's your take on the numerous statements by moderate Muslims (usually after some mass-killing by extremists) who say that the Koran teaches tolerance, peace, etc?
Is it something similar to the strange dichotomy of the Christian old (violent, vengeful God)/new (forgiving, turn-the-other-cheek God) testament? Christians will explain that the old is a "shadow" of the new and then smile evangelically as if that explains the bipolar difference.
most pure data retrieval tasks don't require a huge amount of compute power It's not about data retrieval. Inverted index searches are not IO intensive, they're CPU/RAM intensive, period. Our (tongue-in-cheek) tests using SSDs did not yield significant performance gains.
They estimate that 'the volume of high-level nuclear waste produced by all of France’s 58 reactors over the past 40 years could fit in one Olympic-size swimming pool.
Compared to the billions of tons of pollutants from coal-fired stations -- pollutants which make their way into the sea, drinking water and the very air we breath, I think a few thousand tons (safely ensconced in hardened and safe locations) from nuclear is pretty damn fine by me.
I find these stories quite funny. Let's not forget that Chavez was democratically elected, three times. He's a monkey, but a monkey voted for by his people. They have given him a mandate to fuck around to his stupid little heart's content.
Very much like that other little fucking monkey, Robert Mugabe. However, ol' Bob has had decades of time to monkey around and fuck things up.
What's my point? I have no fucking idea. They're all fucking monkeys fucking things up. Some are just more efficient monkeys than others. Maybe my point is to take it easy on ol' Hugo, give him time, he's just warming up. Please don't judge him on his looks - it's not his fault his face is a bit downsy.
By the time the stupid monkey electorate in Venezuela realize they've been fed their own shit in a recursive fashion, it'll be too late, as with ol' Bob and his monkey pals in Zimbabwe.
When you get rid of the growth path for technical sacks of slightly dirty salty water, eventually you get a profound lack of availability of senior technical sacks of slightly dirty salty water. At that point you have no choice but to push everything IT-related out to external vendors because you can't hire internal sacks of slightly dirty salty water
I remember late last year a competitor ISP emailed me about us trying to transfer a domain to our service (a customer was moving service). Anyway, this numbfuck (the DNS admin) didn't know what to do to allow the transfer to proceed, so he emailed me the admin login and password to their entire DNS administration system so I could do it myself.... (I think I just ruptured my spleen again laughing so hard as I remember).
Just maybe we're seeing some of the fruits of engaging with China. They're getting used to eating the democratic fruits and learning that it's real hard doing without it.
Google leaving China would be a bad thing for the rest of us, not only China.
Why are they bothering with all this? Everyone knows aliens are gay and enjoy probing anuses. We must simply reciprocate. There's a veritable library of books out there about this fact.
With Due Respect and Humanity, I was compelled to write to you under a humanitarian ground.. My name is Mrs. Jessica Meyer. I was born in Baltimore , Maryland,I am married to Mr. Timothy Meyer director J.C Industries Cote d'Ivoire.We were married for 36 years without a child. He died after a Cadiac Arteries Operation.
And Recently, My Doctor told me that I would not last for the next six months due to my cancer problem (cancer of the lever and stroke). Before my husband died last year there is this sum $2.8 Million Dollars that he deposited in a bank here In Ivory Coast.Presently this money is still in the bank. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to any good God fearing brother or sister that will utilize this fund the way I am going to instruct herein. I want somebody that will use this fund according to the desire of my late.
Husband to help less privileged people, orphanages, widows and propagating the word of God. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this fund, And I don't want in away where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision to hand you over this Fund. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I want you to always remember me in your daily prayers because of my up coming Cancer Surgery.
Write back as soon as possible any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this same purpose, hoping to read from you ASAP. God bless you as you listing to the voice of reasoning,
You seem to be missing the point of choice and the whole reason behind theEU requiring this. By your logic, just make windows the default, ms office the default, ie the default, etc, etc.
Credit card fraud wouldn't happen nearly to the degree it does if there were less bottom feeding parasitical criminals who do not belong in our midst.
There, fixed that for you.
Criminal scum always have an excuse/justification for their behaviour. The same way rapists, thieves and/or murderers do. The same way a paedophile does when using brute force to push his penis into a toddler or baby's anus or vagina, thereby tearing it. The screams of pain make it titillating.
Let's not gloss over the consequences of these peoples actions. Any crime hurts someone, somewhere.
Reminds me of the folks in The Culture, need to stay awake, relieve pain, fall asleep, be happy, be sad, need energy, be calm, get high, get really high, fight disease, etc, simply gland it - a neural implant ("lace") can release whatever chemical you want/need... wonderful stuff.
Fond memories... I remember having a similar experience wrt SUN's C compiler - the licensing was just stupid. I needed an extra lic for another machine, but management balked at the price. So,... gcc it was. Once I got it going (this was circa '96) gcc was a pleasure - the binaries were smaller, they ran faster (by several percentage points IIRC) and gcc compiled faster.
I also had a few years of exposure to several power boxen running aix - quite zippy, but the UNIX flavour was just weird.
You shouldn't punish people for following their basic herd instincts
Well, you go ahead and follow your herd instinct there buddy. Christ, talk about not rising above mediocrity or standing up for what you believe in and making a fucking difference.
I'm just poking in the dark here, but doesn't that then qualify as prior art? If the wronged parties can show the ideas were publicly discussed at the conference before the patent...?

Perl.
The Chinese approach to ethics is almost purely fictional .
There, fixed that for ya.

No, not canned meat.

Me, I'd want to be damned sure that wasn't going to introduce long-term side effects before using it.
How can something which is read-only have any long term effects?
You'd be surprised how many idiots are admins.

happy sigh, good times.

The man is improving himself and should be commended.
You're aware that in addition to a guard, buildings usually also have alarms, videos, etc, right? ie, he'll be alerted when someone comes a'knocking.

So, come on, as FShort said, lighten up.

Vark is the Afrikaans word (probably Dutch as well) for pig.
Makes sense, Google is becoming way too corpulent. Hey, I just realised corporate rhymes with corpulent.
Fat and greedy.
