I haven't seen FPUs, external cache, memory controllers as a comeback on any new mainboard.
I think that with so many core CPUs and so fast speeds that extra GPUs will be gone at some point in the future. There might *other* additional cards come, for other functionality. But the current GPUs are just something that is here for now.

you really think thats the only thing that goes over the internet? Banking transfers, order updates, shipping orders, etc. Do you think they will send a FAX to the china factory for the MacPro, etc?
If you don't force interface guidelines down the throats of programmers you get shit like Windows. Where all apps had different icon sets, button order, menu order and usability.
Or look at Linux, 100 different window manager, interface and whatnot else and at the end nothing really works with the other.

theoretically yes, but as china does tons of production for outside companies, etc I doubt they would do that, they would cut of the money stream...
I am very willing to learn new languages and always try out to be at least up to date.
But when it comes down to business and I have to do something, like extract data from a DB and create CSV and I have only X time, then it is hard to say, I will spend X + a lot of time, just because I want to use some of the new modern languages.
As much as I would love to use ruby or python in some web applications, just to see how it works, when I have to do a project and I already have a full framework ready, then there is no way I can or will re-do all the things in another language.
That's my problem.
On the other hand, if there is a certain outside requirement to do something in a certain language, then this would be a perfect thing to learn something new.
yeah, only when you setup a new box, create an md raid and it can't auto-built on boot because of some obscure reason. Now you need to created the raid via initrdram shit and that is not fun if your boot disk is raid too.
the only way to circumvent this BS is to forcefully create a raid system with a lower version for its super block.
If they work, they work, but the daily fear of a some HD error and the disk getting kicked out is not fun.
I would never use MD on any critical production machine, never ever. (neither would I use LVM...)
* the user has deep knowledge of perl but not of pythong * the program needs certain libs that are easy available for perl but not for python * the user is not very keen on the syntax of python * there already exists a lot of perl code & libs that can be re-used and would need to be re-written to python
whenever you start something from scratch in a different language you have to see if it pays off. If you already have tons of libs & classes and knowledge in one language there is no need to write it in another again.
That's why I code my scripts still in perl, because I know what I am doing, I am fast, I get it done and I have classes that help me do the things I want to do. I see no reason why I should start again in python. I really don't have the time to re-do everything from scratch...
If you have a lots of locations around the global and not a central mail system and instead a lot of locals, where some are still POP and then something like google mail is still a much better solution.

I agree. Bash is nice for very small things, but anything that does more than just tiny tiny baby steps it's way smarter to user perl/ruby/python.
Thanks for the explanation, it still sounds horrible complicated and confusing.
I am glad they have maps everywhere and my keitai has google maps and GPS map and their are koban all over tokyo too and conbini and what-not-else:)
3-38-8 is just so so confusing because they should rather write 3äç®38-3 and on the buildings the small street sign only says 38-3 (so you actually don't know in which choume you are unless you find the big sign around the corner).
and not every building has a visible number at all. there are so many ads outside that the number just got "lost" somewhere perhaps.
everyone gossips around behind other backs, thats not a japanese thing.
and I have been to many apartments with friends after we got all drunk and just wanted to drink more but all the places were closed. I see no difference here to anywhere else.
I think there is a lot of "mystification" going on about privacy, just because Japanese people don't talk to foreigners because they don't speak any english.
no locks? hahaha, I have no idea where YOU Live but normally everyone has at least two locks + chain here like in every other country.
And japanese really don't give so much about their privacy. There are more intimate details swapped in any izakaya than in an intense guantanamo interrogation anytime.
strange, my japanese co workers and friends here were all excited about street view. And I live in Japan, so I am so surprised to hear such negative views...
Well with all respect. I see just too often people looking int maps, keitai maps just to find their way around.
The local post man knows where 21-14-12 foo building is. But someone from across the city has no idea. Or why are there on every corner maps from the local area, maps in front of koban, maps in front of train stations, etc.
Just because the system is confusing (at least in Tokyo).
hahaha, thats what you think. there comes in the craziness of japanese numbering. Just because of logic we think that 13 comes after 12, that doesn't mean it has to be so here. Because in a subblock those numbers seemed to be assigned to the building when it was built.
I just remember way way back when I searched for 8-25 somewhere in Ueno and I found 8-12 so I thought if go into the right direction I will find it. Nothing, suddenly after 8-17 there was 7-9. 8-25 was and complete opposite side, so there is no real rule with numbers here... they don't use 10a if the build a new building between 10 and 11, it might become 25, because the last highest number was 24... Thats why almost all buildings have names. so you can find them somehow at least...
But google maps is really a godsend and GPS on my mobile. I so often check out the google map after I exit the train station to get my bearings right... "okay, after the mos burger I have to go left and then there should be an am pm and after that it should be..."
But there are three groups of drivers, those who use the GPS map, those who use a paper map although they have a GPS system and those who use neither and try to sniff out they and you have to be alert to tell them where to go left and right (not fun when you are drunk and its 4am in the morning)
They have addresses. But they seem to be layed out at complete randomness. If you want to go somewhere its something like "you use subway X and exit A2 then go two crossings down and turn left where the convenience store F is and then next to the flower shop you turn right and the third building called "Tanaka Building" there I live..."

Seriously who uses floppies nowadays.
Anyway, the whole disk size *IS* confusing.
Let's see here. I have a box written 160GB SATA II disk.
I call fdisk and it gives me this back:
Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
If I now take the bytes and divide through 1024 (kb) and again through 1024 (mb) and again through 1024 (gb) I get 149.05 GB
So ... seriously. Even the tools don't know what they say.
But in general what's written on HD box is not what you actual get 1TB HD is not 1TB, sadly ...
and what would be an example for this?

Very simple:
* the user has deep knowledge of perl but not of pythong
* the program needs certain libs that are easy available for perl but not for python
* the user is not very keen on the syntax of python
* there already exists a lot of perl code & libs that can be re-used and would need to be re-written to python

Perhaps its location based. I had twice problems accessing mail or calendar, no idea why. Perhaps because I am in an Asian region.
is sure nice when John Smith has an email called john.wmith, that sure makes someone that works in marketing/sales super happy.
Yeah, and imagine a company that doesn't have the money to do this and has just one sever with perhaps some cheap backup MX somewhere.
Google apps is just the best solutions for this ...

that means that the number of non shinto people stayed the same since the first missionaries arrived in Japan.

Hairy people exist. A co-worker is half Okinawa guy and he has more hair than I do, and I already have a lot.
But luckily my hair color is fairly mundane so I don't get groped ... just my slightly over sized belly is a center point of fascination ...
