I have a quill mouse and it worked wonders for the pain in my wrist and forearm. I can't get linux to recognize clicking the scroll wheel though. It works in windows.
I thought I was the only one that LOVED spending hours looking "long and hard" when I want a piece of hardware. It's my hobby. I have nothing better to do than spend all my free time for 3 days trying to find out what wireless network card I should buy. I would never want whatever best buy has to JUST FUCKING WORK WITH LINUX FOR ONCE!
I had one coding job right out of college where those classes were irrelevant. I was working with mostly EE's. The next job I had was working with math phd's. In that job, those courses were definitely necessary and I was actually inadequately prepared on the theoretical side.
I liked the second job much more and it paid a lot better.
If you ever want to get into the business side, take all the econ you can get. I'm now at a top 10 law school and THANK GOD I took some econ or I would be toast.
So if a web application needs to keep state (eg someone being logged in), is there a better option than the two you presented or do you just have to pick one even though it will have a downside?
I see now that a distinction is made between "web server" and "app server". A web server serves static content and an app server runs the servlets or php scripts or whatever generates the dynamic content?
I gather that machines in whichever tier (web, app, or db server) is used by the state-tracking mechanism cannot be turned off while the site is running because the users whose state was stored in the machine being removed would be viewed as new visitors to the site. Is this the reason to make the web servers stateless? Wouldn't you still be able to add new servers to this tier though?
I don't really understand a lot of the stuff you said (I am not a sysadmin). For example:
What does it mean to not scale "vertically"? When I read that, the only thing that comes to mind is to put the boxes next to each other, not on top of each other. From context I gather that horizontally means extra machines, but what does vertically mean?
For "dropping in an extra server when needed without a lot of reconfiguring", what do you mean by "a lot of reconfiguring"? Obviously you need to get the machine, install the os, set up networking, install the web server, setup the web application, point it at the database, etc. How does the application being "stateless" help? I guess, what are some examples of state that an application can have that will make configuring an additional web server difficult?
Concerning the pseudo static data regeneration, what if the thing that was being updated was only accessed once every half-hour on average? I am assuming then that generating the page on demand would be better?
I don't really know what you mean by "MAKE YOUR WEB SERVERS STATELESS". I mean, they have to know if a request just came in, where the data is, what time it is etc, and that stuff gives it state. I am assuming you mean something else by stateless but I cannot figure it out.
They wouldn't be cutting, they would go to the back of the "people with blue cards line". I guess you had to be there to understand the magnitude of cluster-fuckedness there, but there was no way anyone was getting caught, there were people jumping from and to the back of all the lines because no one was there to tell them which line they needed to be in. Some other voters tried to be "helpful" and tell people which line they needed to go to, but that just added to the confusion because they were frequently wrong.
No, the blue card is a piece of cardboard. The election official that stands over each machine has some kind of plastic card that s/he puts in the machine to unlock the machine after taking the blue card (and doing nothing with it) from the voter.
The lines were nowhere near contiguous and there was no supervision at my polling place. After waiting outside for a long time, you get to the gym where there are 6 unlabeled lines. The odd lines are for people that have blue cards and the even ones are for receiving blue cards. Because the lines are unlabeled everyone was walking around from line to line not knowing which one to go to. There was no one at the back of the 6 lines to tell the voters what each line was for.
The polls are swamped in fairfax. The procedure is as follows:
1) Stand in line to get your id checked. If you are registered you get a blue index card.
2) Stand in a different line with your card and wait for a winvote machine to open up.
3) When it is your turn you present your card to the election worker that supervises the terminal that just opened up. She takes your blue card and unlocks the machine.
4) You vote.
Note that thing differentiating a random person that walked up to the machine and a registered, approved voter is posession of the blue card. Multiple people left after receiving their blue cards, saying they couldn't wait another hour and that they would return later. There is nothing stopping these people from reproducing the cards and returning multiple times. The voting places are an absolute packed madhouse, NO ONE would notice if someone just walked up to the second line with a blue card.
Did anyone else see any other glaring holes in their election procedures?

followed by BSD and Mac OS X with 555 breaches
This completely ignores the proportion of these OS's that got hacked. If there are only 556 of them deployed, then this is a terrible break-in rate. Obviously there are more than 556, but there are fewer BSD servers than linux servers.
This is not insightful. A legitimate question is being responded to with a failed analogy. This is FUD. If the answer to his question is so obvious, please enlightem him as opposed to trying to make fun of him.
I have changed a couple. Tell them what you are changing and why, don't just change it, sign it and turn it in. If you talk to your future boss about it, they usually understand and can talk to HR about it and HR won't normally want to fight with another department about it.
As long as you don't add so much that the HR people think they have to consult the company attorney, they will just ok it. Consulting the attorney means work for them, so they won't want to do it, and as long as you keep it short they won't care. They just want all their paperwork back.
Most people use not much bandwidth and there are a few who use a ton. In that distribution above the median is 4.5 but the average is 11.23. The median is much lower than the average, so telling someone "you use 50x the average" is not as scary as "you use 100x the median".
"the median is the least useful expression of an average and is rarely used" is nonsense.
1) This case is not about a consumer suing the maker of adware for their deceptive installation routine. This is about a content provider complaining about how their content is presented on a consumer's computer. The judge ruled that the user is free to interpret the delivered content in any way they please. The arguments you present are not relevant in this case and we are very lucky that this judge understood that. The arguments you present would be very relevant in a case that a consumer brings against an adware company for their installation procedure.
2) The page you linked to concerning electronic commerce and adhesion contracts is based on a talk given in 1995. The page was last updated in 1999. There is now more than 4 years of relevant case law that is not considered in that document. I took 2 law courses in the last year, and in the last one (this past spring) we were told that no judge had ever allowed a consumer to get out of a contract that they had clicked through, whether they had read it or not. This differs to non click through contracts in that a judge frequently voids parts of regular contracts if a disadvantaged party was not given much power to negotiate it, didn't read through it, was coerced into signing it, etc, all of which apply to most click through contracts.

So I guess the new rule for me is, don't ever say anything at all about anything. Ever...ever.

much better than average benefits
How do you know what average benefits are? Average for your industry? For your experience level? For all people employed in the US? In the world?
Man.... UVA Blows.
So if a web application needs to keep state (eg someone being logged in), is there a better option than the two you presented or do you just have to pick one even though it will have a downside?
Was their app still stateless after they fixed the problem or did the solution involve the app keeping state?
I see now that a distinction is made between "web server" and "app server". A web server serves static content and an app server runs the servlets or php scripts or whatever generates the dynamic content?

54.95 / mo for 3mb/192k for cox, w/o cox cable tv
39.95 w/ cable tv
The median would be 5, not 3.
....
1 3 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5
pick the middle number
I'd imagine the distribution of bandwidth usage is similar to the following:
1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 9 10 12 15 20 25 40 50 100

I could never be a judge... I care about what is right and not a ounce for the "law".
A judge is supposed to determine if a law is not right, and if so, strike it down or ignore it, etc.
