Logs? If you have many servers all writing gigabytes of detailed logs, and they have to be kept for a long time, you can save a lot of $$$ worth of space by running compression.
I used to buy the cheap incandescent bulbs, and I was replacing about one every other week in the house.
Then I broke down and blew a LOT of money on various bulbs of this type (including some daylight bulbs -- sweeet) and replaced the cheap ones with them as they blew. It's been a while, and I haven't yet replaced one of the new bulbs.
I figure maybe another year or so and I've recouped the cost of the bulbs due to no replacements, and all the while I've saved a bunch on electricity.
Imagine yourself working 12 hours a day in a factory and sleeping in a dormitory in the same fucking factory! No intimacy, no sex life, no love, no children, no family life,...now dare tell me this is not a soulless slave life!!!
Except for the factory part, it kind of reminds me of the Army.
Already saw on his blog, and see here, confusion over the difference between copyright and trademark.
From the United States Copyright Office:
How is a copyright different from a patent or a trademark? Copyright protects original works of authorship, while a patent protects inventions or discoveries. Ideas and discoveries are not protected by the copyright law, although the way in which they are expressed may be. A trademark protects words, phrases, symbols, or designs identifying the source of the goods or services of one party and distinguishing them from those of others.
The concepts are generally similar in Europe. Without a current or planned good to sell behind his trademark, it is absolutely worthless.
The graphics are weak compared to dedicated ATI or nVidia, but don't judge it on how bad previous Intel graphics chipsets were. The new Intel GMA 950 chipset is fully capable of running all the OpenGL-accelerated bells and whistles of OS X.
I guess it would depend on the definition, whether it has to be capable of general purpose or only specialized. Technically, it should be possible to easily get petaflop performance by putting a few million into a computer using chips designed only to run LINPACK.
Personally, I don't think it should qualify. Otherwise the EFF's $250,000 Deep Crack, which could only crack DES (although faster than tens of thousands of regular computers at that time), would qualify too.
Nintendo had a game pad for the original NES. It had games where you'd jump around and run on a 3'x3' floor pad to control the on-screen action of games like the hurdles.
It was discontinued in the US because nobody wanted to move around that much when playing a game, bunch of lazy bastards we are. I have one though, and it's fun.
A border search is reasonable because it's a border search?
Yep, it's part of the ability of a sovereign nation to defend its borders. This is a very narrow exception though, as warrantless searches just within the border, past the fixed entry point, are not allowed.
In case you are wondering whether this is some modern Republico-fascist policy, these searches were authorized by the first Congress. The precedent over this includes the authority of Customs to inspect incoming container ships.
I had one (an S1 bare roadster, not the cushy S2 that arrived in the US). Looking at it, it is definitely built off the S2 frame, which itself only weighs around 60kg.
Physical access there unescorted was off-limits except to SAs. Otherwise, SAs and DBAs had access. At some point you have to trust someone (and these guys had to have a high security clearance). This guy just took his work home.
I've done work like this, writing software that works with various sensitive data, millions of records, maybe even one of you, and I've done it from home.
However, my set of data was real data that was obfuscated, random names, SSNs, etc., generated, replacing the ones in the database. No real data was ever allowed to be exported off the database server, period. Only an SA could steal it.
That this wasn't done is just gross negligence on the part of the organization.
Deployed soldiers not only have to worry about their current condition, but they do worry about everything going on back home. The more worries back home, the more distraction from their current jobs, the more danger of making a mistake. Yes, I am a war veteran, so I know.
Soldiers with close family back home should be okay, as they can just have someone else monitor their credit. Soldiers with no family and little access to the Internet should be worried. The VA should at the very least give each soldier and veteran free online credit monitoring for the next couple of years.

Eris has her own planet now. Her ego's going to inflate so much that Mandy might finally meet her match.

PC (IBM coined it I believe, I'm surprised they never got a copyright on it)
They did. The BIOS, which is what pretty much defined the PC, was copyrighted.
Oh, you meant "trademarked." On that I'm sure they trademarked "PC AT" and "PC XT."
it's NOT a good idea to flaunt their instructions or orders
Unless you're SCO, which has somehow managed to survive three years of it.

Caps lock makes it a lot easier to type in those long alpha-numeric license keys where the letters are all in caps.

Not very random, as your fists may tend to fall in certain places when statistically analyzed.

You mean the big, hot converter could be in the next room, and my server room doesn't have to be an ice box? I'm all for it!
440V on a 30KW generator. Ouch.
Interesting story.
"Do you like America"? "Do you want to harm America"? "Do you have any hostel feelings towards police officers or law enforcement"?
I think my answers would have been "Yes," "No," and "Not until now."

The UK outlawed guns and made defending yourself practically illegal, and the criminals have had free reign since. Noticed this criminal had a gun.

Gamers will finally be getting some exercise rather than sitting motionless (except for the hands) on the couch.

They list France for the Yahoo Nazi paraphernalia problem, and the German government getting ISPs to filter "hate sites."
I'm surprised. Most organizations like this don't think silencing Nazis is censorship.
there really is no Constitutional or reasonable allowance for letting them disturb trade

U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, "The Congress shall have Power
I don't like this decision, but it's pretty clear the government has the power to do so.
