Access time and latency... could be improved but it would be a pain ITA to get it right.
As booting from a LiveUSB key demonstrates it is possible to boot and run from a USB key 2GB or
so in size and a 8GB would be roomy.
Thus a modest priced SSD on SATA could be used to boot linux and also contain symbolic links to directories or files on a much larger rotating media or network resource.
Sun an others did a bit of work to move files
and junk off the boot disk and onto a shared NFS resource....
One difficult to address IO problem on a demand paged VM OS is the latency and lack of streaming that can be obtained. i.e. each page fault generates a single IO request of a disk. This applies to pages or text, data, or swap IO.
As many folk know IO is often measured with largish memory buffers and largish system calls to the OS. Demand paged IO has a granularity that is page size... and is about the worst IO increment that the system sees.
Latency of rotating media for a 5400 RPM or
a hot 10,000 RPM disk is very slow when compared to a SSD and this alone could tip the balance
giving SSD a strong place in a system design.
For this to gain traction laptops and systems must have two disk interfaces. A SSD form factor could be established that was about the size of a book of matches or smaller to permit a pair of device to fit in the box. This does not make sense for desksize systems because LARGE DRAM is perhaps cheeper and tricks like readahead daemons and a revisit of the sticky bit would make it moot.
They paid $5000 for something that they knew - by their own admission - did not belong to the seller. If that's not dealing in stolen goods, then I don't know what is. You don't even have to know the law to be sure - a child could tell you that it's unethical and wrong.
In the eyes of Gizmodo did they pay to participate in the return of the phone to it's owner. In the process of returning it they did stand to gain but not gain the phone which they returned when asked.
Gizmodo has advertisers and it is likely they gained a lot of hits. Many sites might pay that
much to get/.ed
Gizmodo also reports that the finder called Apple
and has a 'ticket' number that records that he called and the lack of response on the end of the line may well imply no one cared....
Volcanic ash is invisible to radar
and invisible at night.
For east bound transatlantic traffic the time from departure to the risk zone is too long for updates and predictions to be able to give the pilot any good advice prior to departure or in route.
Little was said when the volcano east of Mexico City was active about ten years past. They banned all night traffic. Daytime did permit visible assessment and the eruption was much smaller.
Others including the original posting have commented on the historic badness. What we do not know are the historic but unpublished reports generated but hidden and not likely to surface because the result was more focused and did not encounter a political topic that justified a book.
And much of the Python library hot spots have been coded in "C" to the point that they are not interpreted. Python continues to impress me as to how fast it can be.

Those of us who've been in IT for a while have seen this cycle through a few times. After much reflection, I conclude that there is no such thing as competent management.
And the guy flew his airplane into the IRS because.
"He cited a 1986 change in the tax code affecting software contractors like him as the source of his problems."
There is a chance that this is illegal.
Better to teach a structured OO language
like Python, Haskel and yes Pascal. Java
is too hard to get started for the beginner.
One of the historic features of Pascal was
that if it would compile it would almost
be guaranteed to run (almost). There is a
lesson in this as it removes a lot of tedium
from the teacher.
Clever languages that are too plastic
are too hard for teachers to learn, teach and
grade.
The key is the teacher and secondary is the cost
but in an Open source world languages like Python,
Ruby, Haskel, cost is nill. Teaching the teachers is much harder and more challenging.
For goodness sake measure the intensity if you can.
You need the information before you move in
and more importantly you need the information should any change be made to the transmitter.
While a tinfoil hat is silly and not stylish it might make sense to sandwich inexpensive copper screen and steel wool between 1/4" plywood, decorate it and make a headboard for the bed with it. No need to tell anyone either...
I do not believe that there is a hazard but I do not sleep on railroad tracks either.
The $55 per laptop insurance "fee". Is a
total SCAM. $55 insurance for a $1000 laptop
with a $100 deductable....
55/900 = ~6%
41 laptops reported as lost with 18 recovered
in a pool of --- oh my gosh this is a scam
This is a bit bigger issue than the individual kids and "their laptop".
Because it was brought home all the members of the household
including guests can be "spied" on. By no stretch of the imagination
does the school system have authority to spy on the head of the
household and other members of the family not enrolled in the
school system.
But wait is it my watch battery that is toast
or is it the battery in the gun. Now how
do I test it......BANG yep it is working.
Heck how does a law enforcement officer test it?
Shock and vibration specifications might be
hard to deliver....
Having looked at some of these "research" codes I was astounded to see "PI=3.14" in one. I got access to this bit code because a parallel version would differ in the 19th digit of an IEEE float as the number of processors changed and I was supposed to fix the machine.
If I am not texting and cell-phoning what about the other guy there is nothing said about the cause of accidents by other distracted drivers.
I know that texting is dangerous...
Hmm... I suspect a better answer is
that it is the speed of observation.
Light is the quickest observational tool
we have and setting C to a constant sorts
out a lot of observational issues and
their associated computations.
The quantum communication stuff may
trigger a new round of observations that
open new doors....
For developers working on programs drivers and tools that require it for testing yes. It is possible that some have no control over their desktop by the second system for testing requires full access.
Try and install a program on windows without administrative rights... Can't do it.
Yes root access is needed yet with talk
and other tricks the owner can give an account
and then copy or make visible logs.
With a talk session the service can hand hold
by typing commands that can be mouse transfered by the owner logged in as root.
Given that content of any type has value I am of a mind to encrypt partitions used to contain "data".
Then disk replacement or loss is less of an issue.
Just curious how does the OP backup data?
Refusing to help is not the same as acting as the agent of and as an anonymous agent at that.
If I was speaking at a rally what I say is protected by free speech (within those limits) and more importantly I am responsible for what I say.
Further should I be compelled to say something "anonymous" for the police and someone gets injured as a result, am I responsible?

We have solved the health care, diagnosis via Facebook and Twitter.
I cannot help thinking that someone is practising medicine via some images on Facebook.
Practising medicine without a license is illegal and if someone had a license I expect it would be at risk because of this.
Worse this is apparently a mental health issue involving depression. We could all review the video of the Army Psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood. Does he look crazy? The evidence is growing that he was.

Many fragrances are toxic.
Thus this is adding insult to injury.
Worse fragrances in "everything" are implicated in the epidemic of childhood asthma.

While good physics is important at one level it will not directly feed and heal those that need it.
It is true that some social issues are in the way but this blue marble is so understudied and so important to all of us.
