I'm working for a major European bank; we use PostgresSQL for most of our data aggregation and analysis. I'm really a long term MySQL user, but haven't found any problems doing the same stuff with a different database
I have two wi-fi networks; an open connection and a private one. I live in a small village and don't mind if some hill walker uses the open one to get his mail. Someday I may arrange things to limit the bandwidth on this but haven't had any abuse of it.
It is getting harder to find private open connections; a year or two ago I could wander up any street in major city and find 3-4 open connections in minutes. I believe that most wireless routers nowadays are supplied closed by default and people don't change it....
The Queen actually gives about £200 million each year to the UK in the form of profits from Crown Estates. We "generously" give her £30 mill back:-)
So cough up £200 mill a year and we'll happily give to a £30 mill living allowance:-)
From the article, Johnsons 60% involves some high temperature components, and probably is not suitable for miniaturisation. The conditions under which you can use your cells matters as much as the efficiency
They did it half way. Either you try and make people feel like they are entirely equals or you crush them under your boot.
The French tried to do both. They failed miserably.
They failed to read their Machiavelli
Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared.
Do I need music to work with? No, I generally work without it.
But... there have been times when I've willing to work all night and finish something, because I was listening to some music and had no particular reason to go home, and I've been willing to grind out a solution with music as the lubricant. In a silent office, I do my hours competently but want to leave as soon as I can.
I'm surprised that your environment is still cubicles - I thought that was rather passe and everything is at least (semi) open plan now as a working environment
Gravity wells.
As has been mentioned before, ION engines are great for long distance travel. The only problem is getting down and up from Mars or any other planet you decide to visit, where you're back to needing a big rocket for the high thrust needed. So you can get your astronauts in orbit round Mars, but the problem is how to get them down and up from the surface?
I agree with the parent poster - some of the arguments in the FLOSS community are no holds barred, regardless of sexism, by people with minimal social skills.
I suppose some of Linus' comments, if he'd thrown them at a woman instead of (pick hapless developer here) would be regarded as abusive. FLOSS collaborative development lacks some of the social niceties required of us by working in a corporate environment, where insults could cost your job.
Yes, and as was pointed out in the article you linked to, he was banned from the Debian bug tracking system and others. The guy seems to be a general abuser of women in general, not an example of geek abuse of women.
The UK Times, one of News Internationals stable of newpapers, appears to have a complex robots.txt file, so they certainly know how to block Google if they wanted to. I'm sure other News International sites have similar files.
As black holes evaporate due to Hawking radiation, does that mean that they defeat the laws of thermodynamics in some way?
Next question. Would quantum mechanics offer any explanation as to why we are less close to heat death than we think we should be?
Assuming you're from the UK (like I am) you have to remember that UK courts work in almost exactly the same way. Only an Appeal Court (or House of Lords) ruling binds lower courts in terms of their decision making, so there is plenty of room for ad-hoc justice, even though courts will try to moderate that by looking at similar cases decided beforehand if a higher level ruling is not available.
I was at the University of Essex from 1982-1985 and I sacrificed all my mainframe time (meant to be for study purposes) to play the original MUD which started in 1978.
I didn't read much of the two patents as the patent server seemed slashdotted, but they seem to be about reducing network traffic and also trying to get clients to see the same thing at the same time, and they don't seem to apply to single server, multi-client systems but to server network, multi-client systems instead.
Each District (and Circuit) has procedural rules, which may or may not be favourable to the conduct of certain types of cases, and in addition the fact that a lot of Patent cases get done in this one district means that lots of patent lawyers hang out there. It's sort of a positive feedback loop...
The patent seem to be about reducing network traffic on multi-server systems, and having some way of aggregating messages to groups of clients. I think most early MUDs are single server systems connecting directly to clients and unlikely to be prior art.

Fixed it for you; now returns 200 OK

Sarbanes Oxley separation of roles requirements have been interpreted to mean that developers should not also be admins.

Mathilda May would be a countess by now :-)
The one 5 versions before that, DNA, was actually pretty good.
Yes, but it didn't go on general release due to the twists in the plotline....
apparently you haven't seen twilight with glitter power vampires.
Thats because most of us are over 14.

By the time I got to the end of that, all I could think was "Denny Crane".
Denny Crane wins all cases he takes on.... (allegedly)

..and the Japanese navy got going in the early 1900s with British ships/ technology...

Lotus do make some small two seaters, but I don't think I can fit one on my desk.
Anyone whose desk is too small for a Lotus needs a bigger desk!

Well I suppose it depends on how you define natural causes...

Wouldn't an NVIDIA Tesla based system give you a lot more horsepower for a lot less money, and a lot lower power consumption?
