If you're using log4j, don't use multiple hosts to write to the same nfs filesystem file. You'll run into blocking issues and log4j doesn't handle them correctly. The nirvana of clustered app logging is an async JMS queue. You fire off the message and forget it. You don't wait for file handles.
And if it's still profitable? Then what? They have a duty to their shareholders to take the most profitable route. (That's horseshit of course, but it won't stop them from using that excuse).
I hate referring to Fight Club, but he Chuck really nails it. If the cost of doing business (lawsuits) is less than the profits generated by doing the business, the business will be done. Simple as that. And the old saw of "fiduciary duty to the shareholders" can pretty much be used to justify anything.
Depends on whether we're talking standard buttloads or metric buttloads. The standard buttload is generally measured in Rosanne Barr's. So we assume the standard 250 KLOC per buttcheek. However, the metric buttload is a moving target since, much as the yuan is pegged to the American fiat peso, the MB is pegged to Oprah Winfrey.
In short, since the current rate between between the Winfrey and the Barr is roughly 1:1, you can safely assume them to be equal. Tomorrow however, I hear that Oprah will be dining at the Old Country Buffet, so be prepared to adjust accordingly.
Say you had.... a buttload of code, and wanted to find the context free grammar for the language. You could use a Viterbi algorithm to pull out a statistically likely parse tree (the Viterbi Parse). The thing you're pulling from is often called a Markov process which is a model for the evolution of a state changing, memoryless system. So, over time, you can retrieve a grammar from a running process.
How this applies to QM is left as an exercise to the reader (5 stars, unless you're Don K His-self, in which case it's 2).
If this drug works as advertised & has no dangerous side effects, why wouldn't *everyone* including athletes take it? I realize that this would be an unfair advantage in the present, but I'm talking about after 20+ years of testing.
Athletes wouldn't take it for the same reason they don't use performance enhancers today. It's NOT because they're bad for your health. It's because they work really well and they make competition between people who use them and people who don't, one sided, boring and unfair.
Some anabolic steroids when taken correctly (a cycle of deca/year for example) are safe (for currently held values of "safe").
Also, igf and hgh are safe (as long as you're not predisposed to acromegaly).
Oh, and if you're taking medical advice from people on slashdot.... uhm... I think your safety is already endangered in other, more fundamental ways.
So... Inventors... I want: A video camera system in my car that broadcasts to my home server, so that I can record what I want and not have to worry about the recording getting confiscated. It can work over my evdo card or any available wireless signal, or bundle it with 3g. Whatever.
Freenet publication on the server side software would be a double plus bonus.
Make that. I will buy it. And I will NEVER fear getting pulled over by Officer Taserface again.
Just because the problem is common and recurring doesn't mean it must have a neat solution. It could be a (np hah!) hard problem. With respect to UI review, I believe this is the case. It's just *hard*. I have not seen very many short cuts work in this area. The best advice I can give you is to listen to your users. Also, UI by committee has not been the easiest path in my experience. We have found that putting someone in charge of the UI, with respect to standards compliance is important, and that the customer can still have their needs met without sending their entire management team into the meeting.
Less "tweak this, move that" more "is or is not functionally correct" evaluations.
I'll second that, and add that their AD integration is absolutely horrifying.
I think they know they can't compete in the server market. Their hardware is too expensive, their software isn't free (and doesn't work better than the free alternative). There's no compelling reason to choose them over Dell unless you happen to have a staff of Apple admins that can't transfer their skill sets over to linux.
I don't want to call the product shit, but I don't know how to finish this sentence.
So I'll just say it on behalf of (most of) the slashdot audience.
Thank you. Thank you for doing the work that we didn't, couldn't or were unwilling to do. Thank you for carrying a heavy, unwieldy torch. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.

And the casual investor will get scalped. Don't be a casual investor. Be a trader, or find a less risky long position. News moves markets but only so far, and most casual traders play news totally bass ackwards anyway.
Also, you said it... "facts will be blown out of proportion and influence investors"
That's called an "opportunity" where I come from. The market is very information efficient. If it's blown out of proportion, it will be blown back into proportion.

Don't put much stock (hah!) in how people are betting APPL. The shorts got a hold of it early to try and shake out (successfully I might add) anyone with a tenuous grasp (those that bought recently, those that had unrealized gains). Look what happened after that 15 point down spike. It bounced back 10, and the following day totally filled the remaining gap.
Using 2 days of trading to predict the future of a company is less likely to work out for you than say... flipping a coin
Thanks for pointing this out. This is an important and often overlooked point. Just because a group is victimized, doesn't mean they aren't also the victimizer.
So, I have a feeling like most people, I've heard of DNS, I know mostly what it does, but have no idea via what mechanism it does it. Could someone explain how bad this is? Normally, I treat claims like "DNS is broken" as being sensationalist. So far, slashdot seems to resolve.:) Should I be worried as a client that my queries are being answered by non-authoritative and possibly malicious servers? Can I drop another set of IPs into my/etc/resolv.conf and not have to worry?
