  1. auto pay on Software Glitch Leads To $23,148,855,308,184,500 Visa Charges · · Score: 1

    I wonder what would have happened if this was left on auto pay.

    and why didn't the FDIC catch this ? it would make the financial institution pretty defunct if they authorized the transaction.

    this limits your future scalability

    you want to capture more rather than less so you can use this data as training for future functionality.

  3. Re:Writing speed on The Myth Of The 100-Year CD-Rom · · Score: 3, Interesting


    It would be interesting to see if the difference between readin and writing speeds causes the problem. Since if you write at the same speed as you read both processes will see the same wobles in the disk. These wobles are caused since CD's are never quite round, and uniform desity.


    This would mean that for a normal CD player you want to write at 1x, and for a Car cd player, or a portable CD player you would want to write at what ever speed they sample (more than 1x since they have skip protection). If you check the site they meantion that you should write at more than 1x but less than 12x.


    So the question is at what speed they wrote and read the CD-R's, not just the writing speed. I checked the site but I didn't find any data on that.

    you know we realy don't need 41 milion sites that are underconstruction maybe it would be good to get rid if sites that are un attended to for more than a certain amount of time.
