Hell, yeah, with my tone biceps and defined abs and my "I work on my backyard, with my torso naked, each weekend" tan , I am definitively to hot for that;)
But, on a more serious note, I gave up on the preview system yesterday because I corrected every nonsensical phrases*1 in my post about Scala only to notice that the message slash posted was the one before all the corrections. It might not be a slah bug, it might be a Firefox 9 bug (it is a nightly build after all) but it made me gave up on it nonetheless.

Avoid SuperTalent like the plague they are. Avoid anything used or refurbished. Avoid any hybrid solution as they drain more battery. If you don't need a lot space and need extreme reliability look at intel 311 series (those drives kick ass) or any SLC based SSD for that matter. If you don't need extreme reliability, but don't want to play a game of Russian roulette with 3 bullets instead of one (like in the case of a SuperTalent drive), look and anything sand-force based.
Since you have an aging laptop, you do not need something that can saturate sata 6Gb/s so try to find something like an OCZ Vertex 2 1 drive or a Corsair Force 1 as in real life they are quite similar (you do not need the third edition (both drives have a V3) in an aging laptop).
Also bench the writing speed only one or two time as the more you bench the slower your drive get, you can usually bring some of it back by emptying the drive by formating it to ntfs in windows 7 and the use a force trim utility, wait about 15 minutes. After that you can reformat your drive to your file system of choice and the performance should be OK
1- In synthetic benchmark they differs a little bit but it is imperceptible in real life, unless your main workload is approximated correctly by the synthetic benchmark you were looking at.
Here in Canada, they had a working tokamak producing an iota more than it consumed, while in steady state. When they reach that point the gov killed the project.
Yes, the net balance was still negative, as it consumed a shit load of energy to get into that state and for some untold reasons, the researchers were not allowed to run it long enough to achieve a positive net balance. The tokamak name was Tokamak de Varennes.
Indeed, most code written in duck-typed languages can be written almost identically in a statically-typed, structurally-typed language with pervasive type inference.
nah, scala is easy compared to haskey, it has type inference and a readable synax and if you want to you can use it in a javaesq and getay, loosing the power but enabling average programmer to developed and get better as they learn new concept. Exemple of the javaesque way: adapted from scala by example to remove operator overloading: <pre> class Rational(n: Int, d: Int) { private def gcd(x: Int, y: Int): Int = { if (x == 0) y else if (x < 0) gcd(x,y) else if (y < 0) gcd(x, y) else gcd(y % x, x) } private val g = gcd(n, d)
now in java written on the spot might not compile: <pre> public class Rational{ private BigInt number; private BigInt demon;
public Rational(BigInt n, BigInt d){ BigInt g=gcd(n,d); this.number=n/g; this.demon=d/g; } private BigInt gcd(BigInt x, BigInt y) { if(x==0) return y; else if(x<0) return gcd(x,y); else if(y<0) return gcd(y,x); else gcd(y.modulo(x),x); } public BigInt plus(BigInt that) { return new Rational(numer * that.denom.add( that.numer * denom), denom.mult(that.denom)); } public BigInt getNumber() { return number; } public BigInt getDemoninator() { return denom; }
} </pre>
Where is your type police ? Sure if you use advanced feature that require a Ms in CS to UNDERSTAND fully you have to think about the typing. But you leave that to your 1 or 2 hotshot, and impose the java way on the blurb programmer.
Sorry for the monospaced font, slashdot pre tag is seriously broken
non CLR, means common language run-time, you have C#, managed C++, F#, IronPython, IronRuby and quite a few other, it is backed by a common type system so the interop is remarkable.
And since jvm 7 with the invokedynamic op-code, dynamic language are supported with decent performance, you should read about jython, jruby and groovy on the dynamic side and to scala on the functional one. The inter op from dynamic to statics hard to do but the reverse is easy.
I apologize for saying people like you, I was a bit strong with my words, and you seem like a nice guy, a little bit workaholic but sensible nonetheless.
No kids as when I look at where the world is going I fear that the world will be an interesting place (to use a Chinese euphemism) for the next few decades. However, I am ready to fund my sister kids education, if they ever have that need, however it would be surprising as she is a tax specialist for a multinational accounting software company where she bosses programmers managers around.
Also I understand that I won a good prize in the job market lotto... there was a time were I worked 50hr a week but I was always looking for the opportunity to do something more interesting with stability, insurance, pension, forbidden overtime and better salary and now I have it....
However, I am not a slacker, if there is work to be done before the business hours I will be there at 5am without anyone asking but I will be gone at noon..
I could relate many stories of management flushing everyone's hard work down the tubes by canceling projects on the verge of production, but perhaps one has to live it to believe it
I was in such a project, when all the road block were cleared on time they thrash, while letting the business needs unfilled. That is why I went into architecture as I have now more leverage to influence management...
The things is that past a certain point more money != more happiness. I have a nice wife, a house, a nice car what else would I need to be happier. A bigger car, a better sound system, a bigger house ? I don't think that any of those things would bring me more happiness....
Also I can tell you that the application was not for any three letters agencies neither was it for the police forces. I would not break anything by telling that it was a modified smart-meter from a European company. That as far as I can talk about it without getting sued...
I disagree with you, I was in a lab in a past life, that use to develop software to detect things that I can't talk about but I can tell you without breaking my NDA that the fridge compressor was our worst enemy.
the fridge have a motor of more the 1amp so does the A/C computer switching power supplies are also a good source of line noise therefore I agree with you, this have no chance of working in the field.
Light and dark passages in these films, large volumes of data, and a minimum of interference from other devices are the key to performing this analysis.
turn on a motor that draws at least 0.5A and you should be safe from those boxes....

Scala like please not Java, as Scala is not controlled by Oracle and it is strongly type, multi-paradigm and dsl friendly.
non CLR, means common language run-time, you have C#, managed C++, F#, IronPython, IronRuby and quite a few other, it is backed by a common type system so the interop is remarkable.
And since jvm 7 with the invokedynamic op-code, dynamic language are supported with decent performance, you should read about jython, jruby and groovy on the dynamic side and to scala on the functional one. The inter op from dynamic to statics hard to do but the reverse is easy.
parrot, CLR, and jvm, that's yours mainstream choices

you are right, they could probably filter the hdcp signal and tune to the unencrypted LVDS.
Also I can tell you that the application was not for any three letters agencies neither was it for the police forces. I would not break anything by telling that it was a modified smart-meter from a European company. That as far as I can talk about it without getting sued...

therefore I agree with you, this have no chance of working in the field.
According to page 6 of the referenced paper on Van_Eck_phreaking applied to lcd, it does not works on hdcp. A win for DRM, who would have thought.

I am still employed, I was promoted to architec recently and I still work 37hr a week....
Notice that I implied that there was two side to this question, the other being : the absence of decent working regulations
