Since a lot of the specs for that beast were declassified, especially the P&W engines, it's been determined that the engine design allows for Mach 6+ and was limited by the thermal strength of the materials. (The "official" top speed of the plane was around Mach 3.2) Unless you have an extra helix, nothing on this planet will catch a SR71 - no missile, no bullet, no nuclear explosion. Who cares if radar can see it, there isn't a fcuking thing anyone can do to it.
There is a famous adage about a waging a ground war in Russia. Apparently Hitler didn't study a broad enough array of history to comprehend that adage....
The G1 collector is still a "work in progress" so they are suggesting that you use it *in production* only if you have a support contract with Sun (Oracle?). This is not a big deal. You can still use it, just enable it with "-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC" on the command line...
Your pragmatism and obvious correctness has no place on this site. Good day, Sir.
True, but Java is not immune from that kind of problem, either. A common case is adding an object to a map, and forgetting to remove it when it's no longer needed. Ta-dah, memory leak..
As long as there are no references to the object the GC will reclaim the memory in that map. (see java.lang.ref.Reference and all the subclasses)
Try PSK31 (31.25 bps binary phase shift keying mode used for ham radio) with a couple of sound cards. It'll work over open air with a speaker and microphone. If you used two different carrier tones, you could probably do full duplex.
For my own implementation of PSK31, I once ran it at a carrier of 62.5 hz. Sounded more like war drums than a digital mode over my subwoofer, but it still decoded OK.
You mistakingly act as if this is the first time google has had an outage in 5 years. Try again.Some more too.
Over the years there have been countless issues with google - from gmail being down to apps not working, though it tends to to affect everyone, but subsets of users.
Some of the google issues have to do with mailboxes getting lost and reassigned, etc. If it doesn't happen to you, it doesn't count as an issue, according to your logic.
Another thing: Theo may be a dick, but that is exactly the kind of person I want writing my kernel. Theo is sharp though he's not afraid to remind you.
Period. Next to trusted OS's(TrustedBSD, TrustedSolaris, etc.) OpenBSD is the only thing out there I would put on the public internet with confidential data. Not only that, OpenBSD is the _only_ thing I would trust to protect my internal networks.
Most security appliances have some Linux baked in - no thanks.
Yes, those pesky little applets. The secret? The new "Consumer" JRE - take 90% of the space of the old one and startup time is 200 ms. Want to use j3d? Boom - you can fast. Want to craft a MQ PAS message to talk to that crusty IBM mainframe? Boom, you can, in a browser.
No - it takes more than size to become a peer. You need your own network, and it has to be huge, to be a peer. Google is not as large as a Worldcom(was) or an AT&T - not even close.
they don't need to be. bandwidth is expensive. Too many people see "unlimited" cable and dsl connections and think that they understand what the costs involved are. Only now when companies are capping broadband throughput, and people are like "lolquetf?", are we seeing any discussion on it.
Bandwidth is expensive. No, it's not getting cheaper because our needs are growing faster than the cost/value the technology provides.
And no, you can't get unlimited storage and unlimited transfer for $5/mth. You get unlimited so-far-as your speed is reduced to 5KB/sec and can only store.txt files with a limit of 1000 files. You can have all the unlimited 5KB/s downloads you want....welcome to unlimited flavor country!
Youtube is a loss-leader and has become akin to "Kleenex" or "coke". Obviously the goog execs see it as a good move to keep something that loses money. Perhaps they have plans to monetize it somehow. Who knows. All the what-ifs aren't going to change they fact that Youtube takes more to operate then it brings in. Google is likely subsidizing that loss from adwords revenues.
Cheap-cheap-cheap(Cogent, HE, etc.) bandwidth at commits larger than 1 Gbps are around $4-6/Mbps single-homed. I don't care who you are: even with a 50 Gig commit you're still looking and $8-10/mbps for a decent multi-homed BGP mix.
With the high-quality vids they are posting, $1-$2/visitor could be very real. I do own an ISP so take my word on these numbers, the figures I used are current as of this month.
Total cost/visitor= $1-$2 Total visitors/day = ~1,027,397 ( 375MM / 365 ) Total cost/day = $US 1,027,397 - 2,054,794
The article says up to $1.65 million per day which, on high traffic days, that users/day number is obviously higher. If you take the revenue projections then you get, on the high end, $US 712,328/day and on the low end $US 246,575/day.
2,054,794 - 246,575 = 1,,808,219.
So you're right, the article is wrong. YouTube could be losing up to ~ $US 1.8MM / day.
It's not just the engineering - it's the language design. Jim Gosling did a HELL of a job. He and Jay Miner are perhaps the most innovative thinkers in computing in the past 30 years.

That link was alpha. Thanks for posting.
Doesn't matter what the plane is made out of as long as it's faster, accelerates faster, and climbs faster than than what the other side has.
Oh Really?

The fact you've _had_ to use it 3 times for work scares me in so many different ways....

We can already do that: with Java.

MS has billions of cash on hand. How would a 300 million dollar loss BK them????
No - it takes more than size to become a peer. You need your own network, and it has to be huge, to be a peer. Google is not as large as a Worldcom(was) or an AT&T - not even close.
I call BS. No ISP owner would ever talk about bandwidth in terms of gigabytes.
they don't need to be. bandwidth is expensive. Too many people see "unlimited" cable and dsl connections and think that they understand what the costs involved are. Only now when companies are capping broadband throughput, and people are like "lolquetf?", are we seeing any discussion on it.

I doubt Google is losing ~$365-730 mill a year on this. Even they couldn't survive that kind of bleeding.
You mean survive for long. Let's see what happens over the next 36 months...

Sure it does.
Total cost/visitor= $1-$2 /day = ~1,027,397 ( 375MM / 365 )
Total visitors
Total cost/day = $US 1,027,397 - 2,054,794
