  1. take look at amahi.org on Ask Slashdot: DIY NAS For a Variety of Legacy Drives? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    look at amahi.org, it is a turn-key Home Server based on fedora and greyhole as it's replication engine.
    Dump anything less than a TB except one drive and you are set.
    You set the replication level by share and it keeps a full copy on each drive until the replication count is reached for that file on that share.

    Example:
    you have 4 1TB drives and 1 500Gb drive.
    You have the share photo configured to replicate on each drive.
    You have replication off on the video share.
    You have a replication level of two on the mp3 share.

    When you store a photo greyhole write it to your 5 drives.
    When you store a video it goes on a random drive.
    When you store a mp3 it goes to 2 random drives.

    So if you lose a drive you should loose about 25% of your videos, 6.25% of your mp3 and 0% of your pictures.

    That is true, the average Java programmer sucks,many claim to be Java programmer, and they to do so while ignoring fundamental classes like WeakRefence, ThreadLocal, Futures, and ConcurentHashMap. Those classes that are required to understand the java model correctly. And those who do not know about them should be called java as a second language writers ! Just as I am in English.

    Also I do not type that stuff in, I know my IDE well. To achieve a fake lambda (copy the variable to a final identifier in a new scope in an anonymous class) I need about 15 key stroke and no mouse interaction. While I would love the have the lambda expression, I don't feel bad about resorting to lines of generated }.

    You can also copy the generating function and it's initialization vector unless the generator repose on the recursive measurement of a series of QBit... The injection of the initialization vector might be complicated but it is theoretically doable with entangled QBit. Therefore, unless your bank gave you a quantum cryptpo card, the only way the security is improved is through the added obscurity.

    See also Matthew 7:3-5 if you're not opposed to Biblical proverbs.

    A good quote is a good quote, it whould be absurd for someone who claims to be a rational thinker, to be oppose to this quote on the basis that it came from a religious book.
    That being said, as a non militant atheist( or agnostic I do not care about that disctinction), I find the first four books of the new testament agreeable if you remove the religious hockus pockus bullshit.

  19. Re:abstract on Classic Nintendo Games Are NP-Hard · · Score: 1

    There is only one phrase in the wikipedia article that you need to understand what is NP-hard is assuming you know NP-complete:

    A problem H is NP-hard if and only if there is an NP-complete problem L that is polynomial time Turing-reducible to H (i.e., LTH). In other words, L can be solved in polynomial time by an oracle machine with an oracle for H.

    Assuming you do not know what is NP-complete the relevant phrase to understand NP-hard from the article is :

    NP-complete is a subset of NP, the set of all decision problems whose solutions can be verified in polynomial time; NP may be equivalently defined as the set of decision problems that can be solved in polynomial time on a nondeterministic Turing machine.

    So here is my explanation :

    A NP-hard problem is a problem H that can formally be transposed in a polynomial number of steps to a problem L for witch it takes a polynomial amount of time to verify it's solution. Ex.: To verify the traveling sales(TSP) man problem*1, given a route r with n points you just have to measures it in n step then check if the route r in shorter or equal to k.

    Certainly I find it far, far easier to code a system with C++ than with Java or C#. Both Java and C# require that you copy-paste-edit code between implementations of the interfaces, which results in a lot of code duplication and is more prone to error than the C++ approach.
