If each thread allocates its own memory then it is just returning to LWP, which was good a while back, but threading should try to avoid allocating its own memory except in a few specific instances.
However, based on this thread most people don't know how CPUs work.
Nope, simple facts. The worst part is that it is a basic logic debate, the only reason HFCS is used in the USA (and almost nowhere else) is that we lobby for corn farmers.
This has been an easy sell to the CEO/CTO types for years, it is the reason for all the 4GL languages that let you "build applications without developers".
Businesses don't like Development, they don't understand it, can't measure it well (except highly developed CMM shops) and the developers are "expensive".
To business, development is a huge overhead they have been trying to get rid of for years, and Microsoft is providing them with yet another way to try to do that.
Microsoft knows a lot of businesses don't understand development and have been playing on that ignorance since the creation of VB.
It's a simple tactic. Get people thinking you are in charge of the Internet by "protecting it". Once people take it as an unwritten rule that you are the police of the Internet, you can do whatever you want.
It dominates at this point because it really isn't much of a MMO. You can solo most of the game, or deal with very small groups.
I returned to it for a short time and realized how much the type of person playing had changed. They were used to be overpowered and not having any coordination required.
It's a solo game you can play with others around you.
And if MS falls in the current economy, it'll take a good chunk of the NorthWest with it (the part not going into recession). They own millions of square feet of real-estate and employ thousands of people.
Imagine the results of releasing even 15% of MS's employees into the workforce?
MS is paying for some bad choices, but this would be a bad time for them to pay for them, as a lot of people would be impacted.
Or, just let them buy Gold, which is probably 80% of the reason to do this.
The game itself isn't bad until you find out that you have to stop playing what you want to get enough gold to complete your training (artificial slow-downs).
I own a Wii and PS2, play PS3 at friends from time to time, and have played a few 360 games. But like several of my friends with consoles, we can't wait for the game to get released on the PC so we can see just how cool they can be.
I also prefer to buy all games through Steam at this point... no scratched media, and when I upgrade my PC (which is ever 2-3 years), I just tell Steam to reinstall all my games, no muss, no fuss.
Rock Band is nice, but with the exception of specialized controls like that and Guitar Hero, I have always found it more fun to play on a PC.
SOX is only in reference to financial statement or items that may impact your financial statement. You can either have policy against using IM for any financial conversations, or a trigger system that detects communication that may be related to financials, which then logs the relevant portion of the conversation, but most companies don't even do that because of states like Washington that requires both parties have to agree to have a conversation recorded.
However, large companies will also put in replacement IM servers that keep all communication internal unless you are in a conversation with someone outside the company. That just makes logical sense, why have all those conversations going over the Internet if you don't have to? IMLogic is a nice tool, but Symantec picked them up in their buying frenzy... so we'll see how long they stay a solid product.
They are making a false statement about section 404. The only IMs that would need to be logged is if it could have some impact on your financial statements or it is pre-release information.
So if you IM your boss with information about the information in the next financial statement, it would need to be logged.
Most companies just ban the use of IM or external e-mail for any financial related communications.
We don't have a military big enough to help in the next World War I'm afraid to tell you. We can barely control Iraq and it's not all that big. We also don't have the willingness to fight a war to win, and by win you pretty much have to decide to crush the opposition and clean it up later.
I don't think you realize how tiny our military has gotten compared to 12 years ago when Clinton shutdown so many of our bases and reduced the military force.
The next World War will probably see us on the losing side, we don't have the innovation of the 40's, we don't have the manufacturing powerhouse we did in the 40's, and we definitely don't have the willingness to defend another country anymore. Everything that made it possible for us to Kick Butt in WWII is pretty much gone.
Of course, we might get lucky and find another Albert Einstein to import and help us out, since our scientific prowess is completely gone and our educational system is in a shambles.
The US is the next in a long line of Countries/Empires to be on the downward slide due to complacency, ignorance, bigotry, and self-righteousness. The only way we could turn it around is if a large portion of the country finally realized how bad we have gotten, be practical and start reforming our laws and legal environment.
Being responsible for your own actions is out of style in the US, and that creates a basic social environment of it's never our fault, so we don't have to fix anything... it's too big a problem, so why even try?
Read a history book about what happens when a Dynasty/Empire/Country gets a little too full of itself.
What about when some soccer mom in an SUV kills someone you love?
That's who kills more people than people like this... he's generally safer because he's actually aware he's fighting the odds, the daily commuters and soccer moms are the real danger because they have completely forgotten they are driving a killing machine.
What happened that we are so afraid to test our boundaries? Guess what, no matter how safe you try to be, people will die.
And yes, I've lost very close loved ones to traffic accidents. Raging against everyone that drives a little fast is not how you remember them. Life is dangerous.
Does NOBODY remember that the/etc/password file is where you convert a UID to a readable name? Almost EVERY program has to read/etc/passwd if they display the owner of a file.
Yes they have... when EMC comes in and accidentally deletes a LUN that was active... or you realize that EMC has too many single points of failure, or when you realize that EMC has a horrible support structure.

Odd timing, the laws just changed for HIPAA and HITECH

Yes, most modern programmers do think that way based on most of the code I've seen in the past 10 years.
There are very few developers left in the US that even know what memory management is.
People don't even try anymore.
Nope, simple facts. The worst part is that it is a basic logic debate, the only reason HFCS is used in the USA (and almost nowhere else) is that we lobby for corn farmers.
Spend an hour doing research. Yes, it ends up the same, but sugar requires the body to WORK to get those calories (net calories is lower).

I ran my internal numbers of different divisions (very large company) and it was almost exactly right each time, so the math seems correct.
2010 is getting a bit worse (more expensive, but less complicated).
The worst is if you want to host Sharepoint on the Internet.

I've been waiting for TurboCOBOL forever!
I think you need to work on your technique of first impressions... :)
I'm sorry, but I just watched it again recently, and I think Keanu's expressions will fit almost perfectly.
You will reduce your manpower requirements if you actually plan your installs.
How much manpower does it take to recover from a failed production server?

PC hard drives don't have long lives under heavy load, if you started using them more often your failure rate would go up considerably.
And considering how cheap these cheap drives are, it's really not worth the effort.
No, it doesn't.

This is really a non-issue.
Agreed, Centera was/is a hack for EMC to make money off of. It's an awful solution in general compared to other players in the game.
And of course, you have to deal with EMC support.
Yes they have... when EMC comes in and accidentally deletes a LUN that was active... or you realize that EMC has too many single points of failure, or when you realize that EMC has a horrible support structure.
