I'd have liked to see the test done properly, with several tuning profiles for each filesystem. And workloads such as search and replace in 10000 different files in 30 different directories(Bet on ReiserFS in that one). Or handling a directory with 200 3GB files being processed by an image or compositing package(XFS for that one).
Speaking as someone who is paramedics-trained, chips listing HIV/AIDS and other REALLY dangerous diseases like Hepatit C etc, would make our lives a hell of a lot easier, both in reducing risk to ourselves, and to select appropriate methods.
There's nothing quite like trying to save someone and having a higher than necessary risk of contracting a deadly disease for it.
And to all the retards: Yes, deliberately avoiding to inform people of your status IS deliberately putting others at risk. And sexual transmission is just one of quite a number of ways it spreads. Blood transfusion, trying to give first aid etc are others.
Agreed. Despite some successes, generally speaking mostly small or low mid-scale projects, "Agile" is to software engineering what Red Bull Flugtag contraptions are to aviation engineering.
And most call-centers are worthless, tbh. Rule number one when calling tech support for example is to tell the mofo to stop following the script and be helpful instead.
And, it works the other way around: The lower tier GM's are bound to follow the policy set by the upper-tier GM's and by the developers. If they are not sure, they are to ask for clarification. If a measure isn't in accordance with that policy, the head GM's are supposed to and WILL overturn it.
Correction: If you are high-school level litterate, and know the basics of using your rational faculties, you can learn on your own. In fact, as an excercise, DON'T read eve-info and sites, try to figure it out for yourself. Someone has to figure it out at first. And in EVE, that gives you a real advantage. Albeit somewhat simplistic, this comment actually describes EVE fairly well: "In EVE, there are two kinds of people: The Do:ers and the Followers". I myself am a Do:er: I spend time analyzing changes to mechanics, shortcuts, new ways to utilize the established mechanics etc
So it's not designed badly, it's just the players that expect dumbed-down bullshit like WoW, or the crap that passes for games in general on both the PC and the consoles that are badly evolved.
Oh, the good old days of our 3D animation classes, rsh'ing into the other SGI's in the classroom, trying to find the ones not already taken for renderjobs...:p
Because Cogent is small, and trying to do the "We're small and being picked on" PR blackmail card. And way too many persons don't apply rational thinking to the situations, so they defend Cogent.
If it had just been the first depeering with Sprint, or just the one with Telia, I'd probably have viewed Cogent's claims as credible, but given their history and their business methods, Cogents are the ones pissing in the pool, and shouting that someone else did it.
Find better servers. I routinely grab large files from SUNET/FUNET FTP's, and easily get more than 20Mb/s on a single transfer. And unlike with BitTorrent, my connection is still useful for other activities.
"Why doesn't my phone have a standard USB charger and data interface? Because it's closed-source."
Wrong. Because your telecom provider doesn't support it. Such lock-down can be done with open source too.
My current P1i charges over USB, and presents itself as a standard USB mass storage device. Memory card if that is installed, phone's built-in storage if no memory card is present.
My w800i was the same. And there were other phones that worked that way even before that. But then again, I'm in Sweden, while I presume that you are from the US.
I get about 4 days of battery life out of my SonyEricsson P1i.
For me, the camera is a very useful function, since I can snap pics out on field projects, and quickly send them as MMS to an engineer or something if it's an issue I can't handle. For non-work related things, I've used it to quickly take pictures of items or something and sent my GF, to ask if it's something that she's interested in.
Recharges from USB, under all operating systems that handle USB properly(Yes, that includes Windows).
Memory card, when installed, is the default storage space for camera/video/audio recorder, and when connected over USB it's visible to the computer as just another storage device where you can just move files to and from. As for media, a drawback is that the music player isn't as good as the music player on the w8xx/w9xx series of telephones.
Synchs with Outlook/Exchange.
Physical keyboard, full QWERTY, with a very nice solution for saving space. Each key handles two characters, press left for one, right for another. VERY easy to learn, and you can type much faster and more efficiently than on the craptacular iPhone. I use it to SSH to machines quickly. And works very well with normal adult male fingers(Might be a problem for those with fingers reminiscent of sausages, but that's not a telephone problem, that's an operator error)
Here in Sweden, summer starts in may/june, according to the old "calendar". Nowadays, summer is said to be started when the temperature even at its coldest is above 10 degrees Celsius, and at no point goes below it
Actually, the immune system of a child has greater raw strength.
The adults immune system works on adaptation. An example already given in this thread: A normal healthy kid that gets Chicken Pox shrugs it off fairly quickly. If you never had it as a child, instead getting it as an adult, a normal healthy adult, it'll knock you out for quite a while, possibly even to the point of inflicting chronic pain, for the rest of your life. So yes, there can be serious complications.
It has greater direct raw strength, but as I said, it's not yet adapted to various things. That's why for example chicken pox and other "kid diseases" is something that should not lead to isolation, because an early exposure lets the immune system adapt, so it won't affect them when they become adults.
The Google model is not applicable for the tasks where mainframes are used. Mainframes are used for high-throughput/high availability/high RELIABILITY as well as high-INTEGRITY operations. In contrast, with Google, if a server dies, leaving 50 queries in Limbo, well, the internet users will just have to try their luck again, and hope for the best.
Quality control, quality control, quality control, quality control Redundancy, Redundancy, Redundancy, Redundancy, Redundancy Reliability, lots of it. LOTS of I/O. Solid VM technologies that makes VMWare appear like the software equivalent of a toddler still in diapers. Hardware-accelerated crypto, integrated into the overall system design, and not just an add-on card, at least on fairly modern mainframes. Some mainframes also run dedicated hardware for CRC on data being churned through.
Designing all that into a cluster leads to something that is just as expensive to operate, and still won't have the same reliability as a mainframe environment.
And no, Google's model does not apply here. Google aren't working with data that must approach 100% reliability to the extent that it's possible for humans and technology to make it.
In a truly polygamous relationship, there's some truth to it. However, too many are strictly polygynous or polyandrous, and tend to end up very dominant.
I've got a friend who's in a polygamous relationship, currently with 2 girlfriends. One of the women is also polygamous, and has other male sex partners from time to time, but none that she's found willing to have a relationship with. His other girlfriend is mono when it comes to her own, but doesn't mind sharing.
The interesting part is that all three are saying that they are not together due to love, but rather out of deep friendship, respect and a sense of deep comfort also.
One of the great ironies with all this is that SOOOOO much of Warcraft/Starcraft/World of Warcraft is ripped straight from GW work, and not at all inventive.

Thing is, knowledge of assembly is needed to properly verify the debugger output. AND to spot compiler/debugger fuckups.

He didn't check with a head GM though, only with the lowest tier GM

If I can force my way of life on you, it's ok that you deliberately force someone else to conform to your way of life. Really.

Even that can be locked down, however, through firmware or OS access controls
