Yep. It takes a few months to get to that point though. My "afk" income only takes about 3-4 days to train up the in-game skill requirements. The rest is knowing how to read and play the market (the whole, buy low, sell high thing that people still don't understand, which is why they pull their money from the market when the economy has already gone bad, which is one of the worst things you can due unless you expect the market to keep on getting worse and you buy back in before it gets back to the point that you got out.... Which is also how I tripled my retirement funds when the economy dumped and rebounded in the last 3 years).
Wow, the average subscriber only have 300million isk? They must have no clue how to play the game. I have only been playing for 8 months now and I have well over 3-4 billion isk. I even make enough to pay for a second account with game money via the PLEX system (and am about to start doing the same for all my accounts once I get a little more established). In EVE, you need isk to make isk. Once you have a few billion, you can simply just invest that in the market and can very easily make 10-20% a week of your investment. I make about 100-200 million a week just spending 5-20 minutes a day. And if I actually play the game, I make about 60-80 million an hour.
I doubt it will ever happen. This seems to be their entire reason for the higher prices units. Why would anyone spend an extra $200 for 32GB more internal storage if Apple installed a $15 SD card reader and people could use a 32GB SD card which cost them $30. Or swap out multiple cards depending on what they were doing?
I mean, that is what they use to do. You took some talent, and then they would give them enough cash/money to pay some of their expenses while they were still getting developing their skills. They would get time between albums to practice and learn to play. There was actual talent required to make/perform the songs.
Now it is if you get one song that is a partial success/hit, they have them release a full album, when there might be 2 songs worth anything on it, and then play those 2 songs over and over and over and over and over again on the radio. People get tired of it, and because the band really isn't that good, once people are tired of those 2 songs, that is it for the sales. And the music execs look for the next group that has 1-2 songs, rinse, repeat. No one gets a chance to actually gain skill. It is all about looks, not the music. Heck, they even put people out there who can't even sing, but use autotune to correct their voices and keep them on pitch... It is almost all a bunch of BS anymore. Where is the talent? Where are the mesmerizing guitar solos? Where are the vocals? It simply doesn't exist anymore because the industry doesn't develop talent anymore, they simply grind it up and spit it back out and move on to the next act.
Again, that video is of a cylindrical container with an open top. The liquid "escapes" using capillary action/force in which the liquid is drawn up the sides of the container, out/over the top, and then back down the sides to then drip off the container.
Except what you posted a video to was a cylindrical container with an open top in which you are looking at capillary action/forces draw the liquid up the side walls of the container and then back down the sides to drip off the bottom.
Someone is trying to make it look a lot bigger than it actually is. They can condense 4 of those racks into 1 and still have plenty of room for some airflow spacing around the systems as well as network and KVM. More propoganda. Anyone also notice all the empty racks?
A lot of it has to do with game mechanics, like listening to what the other contestant said in a wrong answer and adjusting your answer accordingly. Case and point was on the first night in the "Decade" category where watson got beat on clicking the button, and the player that beat him said "What are the 1920's" and was wrong, and then watson answered "What are the 20's", which was still the wrong answer....
I have to admit, it was pretty impressive as that is a fairly non-trivial computational problem of not only understanding the english language, but also taking the clues from the categories and how things are phrased to come up with the appropriate response.
You must not have ever admin'ed many big iron servers. You know, the ones which take upwards of 30 minutes to reboot and are typically servicing 100+ users or mission critical applications. As the rest of the article says, simply rebooting doesn't fix the underlying issue. All you do is set yourself up for a repeat down the road. You are simply kicking the can down the road for someone else to pick it up and put it in the trash/recycle bin...
In related news, dozens of multi-billion dollar lawsuits have been filed in Japan, the USA, and Europe against the makers of the JAXA satellites various co-conspirators. Once soaring stock prices of Japanese communications companies have plummeted at the allegations and freezes of assets of the corporations, their directors, and their largest stakeholders have occurred....
Because there is a severe limit on PCI-e lanes on these chipsets. As it already stands, you are limited to two 8xPCI-e slots in use on the basic P67 chipset. On the H67 if you enable the internal CPU graphics, you are limited to one 8xPCI-e slot. That isn't much room left for a SATA controller card if someone plans on having a sound card or HD video capture card... This is also why on the higher end motherboards, they are including an additional bridge chip to expand the PCI-e lanes.
That said, I don't think the show had changed since it the places have opened. You get the shrimp tail flip to the chef's shirt pocket or hat, the onion "volcano" from oil/water, the "egg roll" joke (at least in English speaking ones), the beating fried rice heart (assuming you ordered the fried rice, same with the egg roll since it is normally when they are cooking the fried rice), and then you get some salt/pepper shaker tapping/flipping, and maybe some skilled knife-work....
First, you need to stop drinking the coolaid. You are paying the sys-admin to keep your systems up and running. They do have "the keys to the kingdom", because you are paying that person to hold them. If you don't trust that person to hold the keys, then you shouldn't have hired them in the first place.
The ways you mitigate the issue of "rogue" admins, is vet them, listen to what they are saying in terms of technology, don't micro-manage them, and pay them well. The good ones without a doubt will know the technology better than their manager/management structure will ever know it. The reason the admin says something about the setup/configuration/technology is almost always because it is needed change. If you can't afford to make those changes, then you need to explain that is the reason, don't make up some BS about how you want things to stay the way the are, or you want to change the organization/structure to something else, because they will "call" you on it. Again, they know the technology better than you ever will.
The other thing to do is to pay them appropriately. You are trusting them with running some of the most complex systems in your entire company, as well as safe-guarding your data, your processes, and your daily operations. The reason why you don't see many rogue CEO's is because he/she is being paid well to run the company, choose its path, and steer the ship, so to say. The system admins in today's information based businesses are the guys keeping your entire company running. If your servers/data were all destroyed, and your business would not survive, then you might want to consider paying the people who keep that data/servers a more appropriate amount of compensation since they are so vital to your business.
Again, there are very few admins who go rogue, and even fewer who did not do so after being mistreated by their bosses/management. If people want to point out at the case of Terry Childs, they need to get a clue. Were mistakes made, sure. Did Terry have some issues? Yes. Did he actually go rogue? No. In his eyes, he was protecting the network from idiots and incompetents, and following the rules as currently defined. He wouldn't give out the passwords in a room of strangers, over the phone, or via email where it can easily be intercepted and then misused, as well as be cause for firing him because policy stated not to do any of those things. So he was placed into a situation where he would be fired if he handed out the passwords, or fired if he didn't. And once fired, he really had no obligation at all to give it out anymore, why? Because he didn't work there. Same as if you fired your top salesman, or stock broker, or process manager. They don't have any obligation to tell you anything about the contacts/client relationships/methods for picking stocks/how things work. If you fired them before you obtained that information, then you should have been fired. In the Childs case, were they trying to obtain that information, sure. But in the wrong way according to policy. They should have taken Terry into a one on one conversation, in a private room, with no one the phone and asked in that setting. Even then, he might have refused to have the manager have the password because the manager didn't have the knowledge or skill to know how to properly vet someone as being capable of having the password. The only thing that would happen is that it will cause someone to screw up the settings and create work for Terry since he will be the one called in to fix it, and most likely not paid for that extra time he had to spend fixing someone else's screw up.
Again, it comes down to properly compensating the admins, listening to them, and not trying to play office politics with them. You treat them well, and they will do whatever it takes to keep the systems running because they take pride in their work. You treat them like crap, blindly disregard their expertise in terms of operating the servers/network because "you know better than they do", you are asking for th
So they can't blame anyone but themselves when in 2-5 years from now China stops buying those parts because they have reverse engineered them and make them on their own now and dump you now that they have taken the tech they wanted...
If you are comparing ZFS performance on linux, then, yes, it is slower, because ZFS on linux is not done at the kernel level and thus has a huge performance loss as compared to ZFS on Solaris/OpenSolaris. There have been plenty of benchmarks out there showing ZFS's performance besting EXT3 and EXT4 on identical hardware (with one running OpenSolaris and the others on linux). It is a shame that Oracle has no intentions of continuing its development, the same with lustre. Two years ago they were talking about lustre on Solaris with ZFS, but that never materialized, the same with ZFS in a kernel module for linux, again, it never happened because of the Oracle deal... With Oracle, if they can't see a way to make money on it immediately, it is dead. No long term view there at all.
Unfortunately, the cat is already out of the bag. I agree that if Sony had simply left OtherOS on the PS3, none of this would have happened. It also was Sony's decision from the start that they were going to remove it. It was gone on the slim version from the start, even though there was no technical reason that it couldn't be there. At that point its days were numbered on the rest of the line, as you know that they were not going to want to have to maintain two different firmwares for the different platforms which would require regression testing of any new changes to both versions, as well as needing extra code to always check which version of the PS3 everything was running on.... And sure enough, a few months later, Sony unilaterally removes the feature at about the same point where they realized all the headaches it was going to be to maintain the slim AND the older version, when they could simply cut a ton of costs on their maintenance cycle (which by the way does not actually make money, so from a pointy-haired-boss point of view is simply a direct loss of profits) by making just one firmware. Add in the fact that there were a decent amount of companies, governments, and universities purchasing groups of PS3 to create a cheap computing cluster, with each unit costing Sony money because Sony was still subsidizing the cost of the hardware and counting on the profits made from games and peripherals to turn a profit, you can easily see why they wanted something, ANYTHING, to drop OtherOS. So they came up with some BS story about security and dropped it. Which then had the direct effect of all the people who used OtherOS to drop the gloves on their experimentation with the PS3, because, really what was Sony going to do now, drop OtherOS? They already did the worst they could do, so now it was "game on" in a sense on really hacking the system because now fully hacking the system is/was going to be the only way OtherOS was coming back.
Sony completely brought this on themselves. I complained at the time, but that seemed to have gone nowhere, even with my state AG. I can only hope that some AG has been working on this for the last 10 months and building a case before filing action, but I doubt it. I think it was all ignored and swept under the carpet.
Yes, it can play MGS:3, but at 340x240 resolution..... which is just as powerful as the PS3, they both play the same game content, and display it at 30 frames per second....
Because we all know the correct command would be either "pkill -9 scp" or "exec tcsh; foreach p (`ps -ef | grep scp | awk '{print $2}'`);kill -9 $p;end;"
Whatever to you too. In the Top500 you are almost always only number 1 for 6 months, maybe a year top. It takes about that long for the next generation of CPU's to be available and someone to put just the same number of computers/processors together as you just did and have a 5-10% increase in overall speed. There comes a point where you have enough computing power to do whatever you are trying to do. And once you hit that point, a faster/more powerful supercomputer would not help you if it is sitting idle. I you can't fill your supercomputer with at least 60-70% average load 24x7 with peaks of 100% you are wasting it.
Only problem with this is that the account holder never has a chance to see/verify that a check he wrote wasn't altered after the fact somehow (i.e. scanned, reprinted, photoshopped, whatever) before it actually was deposited somewhere.
Now I agree that I feel the bank is the one that screwed up here. If you are told a check has cleared, then it is cleared. At that point, you have been told legally that the money is now yours and in your account free to do with as you please. At that moment, if something comes up which causes the transaction to be voided, it should be on the bank to then void any following transactions if there was subsequent activity as it was the bank that gave them the "all clear" to use the money by saying the check had cleared in the first place.
Well, 2 good things happen in the long run if China and the US goes at it.
1) The US nullifies all bonds held by China and refuses to pay, or pay anyone that purchases said bonds from China, so a BIG chunk of our dept just vanishes
2) China stops exports of all goods to US. Short term US consumers hurt, long term, all the manufacturing jobs re-appear again in the US.
