This year's international supercomputing conference, SC10, will feature the Student Cluster Competition that challenges students to build, maintain, and run the most-cutting edge, commercially available high-performance computing (HPC) architectures on just 26 amps of energy.
Hey, don't tell them that an ampre isn't a measure of energy, because then I wouldn't be able to enter my 46.54 million volt computer (x 26 amps = 1.21 Gigawatts total power dissipation).
People lacking a significant criminal background ALWAYS tend to be stupid when it comes to hiding cash. Especially once you reach a certain amount where hiding it within your house requires multiple hiding spots. Wall sockets, light switches, and inside of old, large electronics (CRT monitors, VHS players) with difficult-to-remove siding are all viable home storage locations. Then again, it really depends on what your goals are. If you want to hide money so well that no one will find it, get some custom furniture with places to hide cash that can be built around the cash, so the couch (or table, sometimes) must be physically destroyed to access it.

Yeah, seems Lexmark is doing us all a favor: making it harder for companies who put restrictions chips in their ink cartridges. I ditched all my inkjet printers years ago and will never buy one again.
The horn is for uncommon events where you need to get someone's attention. Just to make the point, if you had an invisible car that had a horn, the horn wouldn't be enough to alert people to its presence. Less extremely, if you had a car that made absolutely no noise, a horn also wouldn't be enough. Sound is omnidirectional; sight isn't.
I think the difficulty is that leap seconds are rare enough that they aren't given much priority, similar to properly handling the tens and hundreds digits of the year.
Exactly. DRM = Digital Restrictions Management. Being without DRM would be what digital is: without any restriction. Anything which tries to make digital limited like physical is a step in the wrong direction.
This is amazing. I predict that they'll find that people's trash carts have nothing in them, and recycling carts full of garbage. I just don't get it; if I pay for trash service, it's my decision what's trash.
I actually have the problem of generating so little trash that I only fill my small carbage cart every three months, and thus end up paying about $60 to have it emptied. They refuse to stop charging me for the cart, even if I find alternate arrangements for garbage handling.
Its an well known fact and well used tactic in divorce cases, where the wifes charges the husband of rape, and thus the wife get soil custofy of the child
Couldn't the husband just get some dirt from the ground?
I think you may have been able to have questions asked, also if you for any reason feel the guy shouldn't be held guilty, then you can ensure the guy isn't found such. You have that power.
Well, the first thing he needs to do is an ABX test on his own machine. If he can't pick out the cables, then the sound quality differences are due to his visual system seeing which cable is connected. Doesn't invalidate his findings, of course, and if you happen to have this guy's associations of hard drive cable with music quality, and money to waste, then you should get a cable too.
You are ignoring the word "increased". They increased the density by 3.62x. Think about it; if they increased it by 1x, that would mean the new density was double the original. Thus an increase of 2x would be 3x the original, and... an incease by 3.62x would be 4.62x the original.
I read TFA. They claim that this will increase the density 5x.
Actually, the article actually only claims about a 4x increase (actually only 3.62):
Toshiba's sample media is still in the prototype stage, but is built at a density equivalent to 2.5 terabits per square inch. Contrast that with Toshiba's current highest capacity drive today, which is based on existing technology and has a density of 541 gigabits per square inch or about one fifth that of the new technology.
Calling this calculation with probabilities seems misleading. It's really just calculation with limited precision, like you say, as floating-point does. Only with this, the error behavior is going to be less predictable. Seems like it'd have pretty limited application, given that you want predictability in most cases, especially if you convert back to the digital domain at any point.
Employees openly admit they would take company data, including customer data and product plans, when leaving a job.
Seems dumb to take the data and risk someone finding it missing, than simply make a copy of it so that the company wouldn't find anything missing. But that's just me.
The term "summary" appears to be _entirely_ lost now, at least in the Slashdot story submission crowd.
Next you'll be telling me that the subject line isn't just where you start the first sentence of your post (see this thread's subject line for an example).
If the warranty only lasts the life of the product, and the product breaks, does that mean the life of the product has ended, and thus the warranty has expired?

Yes, laser diodes can be modulated very rapidly; it's the basis for long-distance fiber optic communication.

You're quite knowledgable on hiding cash.

What if he had replied "Just Linux? Must be hard with nothing but a kernel."

Nonsense. The proper solution is to make every minute 60 seconds, every day 24 hours, and every month 30.5 days.
I will do my best to avoid calling 911 ever, due to expenses like you cite. It's not worth getting into debt.

So it's OK if the rain falls on your lawn, it's fine, but if you collect it, then put it on your lawn a few days later, it's not OK? WTF?!?

Start by calling these car wrecks, not "accidents". The latter term nicely hides the carnage behind a nice innocuous word.
Nahh, he just needs a gold-plated keyboard cable.

Det. Thorn: You tell everybody. Listen to me, Hatcher. You've gotta tell them! Soylent Pylon is people! We've gotta stop them somehow!
Wait, I thought SSDs and Flash memory were the future... Oh, you mean Adobe Flash. Headline could have been clearer.
