I wouldn't pick on truck owners (the ones who actually use them to transport stuff), but that doesn't prevent rules about the bumper height (and the headlight height). As is customary these rules should start with new trucks (and cars) so the current owners don't have to change their cars to fit the new laws. After 10 years or so the law can change to all cars and trucks. This will have the advantage that the new trucks will be butt ugly and thus the dickheads who own a truck but don't need them (they only like the looks) will not want them anymore, because the looks are ruined.
It's about speed, not capacity. They used to have 15K disks, which have a latency of around 2 ms. They switched to SSD's, which have a latency of around 0.1 ms.
Why does latency matter for them? They have large amounts of relatively small files (small images, item descriptions and so forth). These files are spread across the disks. Each file requested means the latency is counted. If a webpage needs 100 files the latency of the disk is multiplied by 100. Each user (and there are many at any given moment) needs 100 files. As soon as possible.
The used to solve this by having far to many disks. The amount of storage space may have been twice what they expected to need, because more disks means you can acces more files at once, effectively cutting your acces time. Now file 2 doesn't have to wait until file 1 is done, because it's on another disk (or actually RAID). This increases the speed, but at a cost. Add to that the fact that SSD's have insane transfer speeds. An 15K rpm disk may transfer 300 MB/s, an simple SSD can transfer 550. Theoretically they can go much faster, but SATA can't keep up. These systems don't use sata, so their transfer speeds may be much higher.
IANAEOTS, so correct me if I am wrong.
While the generator owner should face heavy charges, the lineman is an idiot. He should have grounded the line to be sure the line is dead, and stays dead. He himself should not be grounded, so no current can flow through him. He must have thought "The line is dead anyway, I can do without the normal safety procedures". That's his fault, and his alone.
I'd rather die from crashing with a Bugatti Veyron, because the crash takes only a fraction of a second at 400 km/h, than from crashing with an Opel Kadett, because those crashes take way longer.
I prefer not to fuck furnaces due to a high probability of burns, or barriers due to a high probability of scratches. I prefer women, because they are usually physically soft and, although sometimes very hot, not likely to induce burns. Is there a name for your preference?
Dunno if it is what you mean, but with NoScript/. works quite well. As evident it's possible to post, and I have no scripts on/. allowed. To view/. in an even more basic way, use Lynx. Dunno if it'll work, don't feel like trying.
Wouldn't it be wiser to get another type of dog? I can understand it's impossible to get a dog with those looks (although I personally do not like the looks) but you can get a Golden Retriever or some kind of shepherd, which can quite easily be taught how to behave and to keep away from moving cars.
I stand corrected.
However we should invent new SI prefixes, as the current (yotta = 10^24) isn't going to cut it (Planck length is around 1.616252x10^-35 m). To represent something in human scale we'd need a simple word for 10^11 yotta Planck lengths. Maybe terra-yotta Planck lengths? with 10^36 it should be close enough to fit.
The base unit should be "distance light travels in vacuum in 1 cycle of radiation corresponding to the transition between two energy levels of the cesium-133 atom" This is the distance light travels in 1/9,192,631,770 second. Light travels at 299 792 458 m/s, so this is 299,792,458 / 9,192,631,770 = 0.0326122557174941 m (=1.28394708 inch).
That would be a distance that's based on the constants in physics. However, if we can't convince the USA to switch to the metric system, how can we ever hope to force the complete world to switch?
Why do they still advertise SSD's in cost per GB? I don't care how big the disk is, as long as it's over 30 GB (enough for my OS). Give me the cost over the speed. The speed is what I want to compare and to make a valid decision what drive to buy I'd like to know what the cost per (MB/s) is (or $s/MB). And the read speed. For the OS the write speed is (almost) irrelevant, the read speed is what matters.
Crucial M4 $1 per MB/s
OCZ Vertex 3 $1.02 per MB/s
OCZ Agility 3 $0.87 per MB/s
Corsair Force GT $0.46 per MB/s
Corsair Force Series 3 $0.38 per MB/s
Patriot Wildfire $0.56 per MB/s
Now it's quite clear I would buy the Corsair Force Series 3. It's offers the most bang for the buck, and with 120 GB it's bug enough.
I would imagine replacing the 0.0254 mm of air with a ferrofluidic seal would increase the efficiency even further. A chip is not damaged by a permanent magnet and since the RPM is low it will not require a very strong magnet. The seal would be a good thermal conductor (somewhere around thermal paste).
hidef video with 5.1 surround sound with only a picture of an text only email (with some robotic overlord reading said email, in order to have some content in the audio) would compress quite nicely. You can drop the keyframe frequency to 0, as long as you have a key frame in the beginning.
Same thing with cars. Now, I understand that my car (made in 1982) does not have a computer and so it cannot detect if something is wrong, I have to do that based on the symptoms (if something is wrong with the way the car works). However, a new car, that can detect a malfunction and display "something is wrong" on the screen, should also display what it thinks is wrong, since, well, the CPU somehow detected the malfunction, why not tell the driver what is it (or, more accurately, why does it think that something is wrong).
"Somethings wrong because the voltage at pin 15 of the ADC is 6,3V instead of 4,2V." would help loads of course.
Untrue: hunters and gatherers did hunt for meat. They didn't eat meat every day, but on the days they caught something they did eat more meat than the 75 grams required daily. The Indians you seem to refer to did eat meat. They ate the creatures that were there. The reason they did not drive the bisons to extinction was both the low population density and the fact they used the creatures efficiently (they didn't throw meat away because it didn't taste good enough). Compare that with the idiotic behavior of the first white people: shooting bison's from trains because they were to lazy to ride a horse to do so. From your post I would hazard a guess you are a vegetarian. Please use only the truth to convince others.

I'd advise Ted. The short films are quite comprehensible.
It depends on how far away and how long ago. If it was only 1 million years ago and 2 million light years away that information hasn't reached us yet.

you could use the spare money to buy a new Airhockey table for the programmers. That'll solve the spare money and time!
