  1. I for one on MIT May Have Just Solved All Your Data Center Network Lag Issues · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome all but our new Fastpass &,dash; static scheduling overlords.

    Yes. Except that he isn't a troll, and his information is spot on.

  3. Re:Black hole? on Sony Forgets To Pay For Domain, Hilarity Ensues · · Score: 1

    You need to arrange them in a circle. Auditor A audits Auditor B, which audits Auditor C, which in turn audits Auditor A. Together, using a distributed auditing algorithm, the three systems audit the original system which needs those audits.

    It's actually a limitation of our brain. We can manage words up to reasonable length,

    Your brain. Not our brain. Now get off my lawn, I've got the Rindfleischetikettierungsueberwachungsaufgabenuebertragungsgesetz to read.

    what stops you from writing it? (except perhaps the fact that it seems like a dumb idea resulting in linux-KMS-framebuffer-console-like performance)

  9. Re:So they update it, but... on New Raspberry Pi Model B+ · · Score: 3, Informative

    Those aren't the "major" shortcomings, and frankly, those aren't shortcomings at all. The CPU is about as fast as you'd expect at that little power consumption, and there is plenty of RAM. No idea what you're trying to do with yours, running Windows on it?

    In case you case, the two major shortcomings are power related (try to hotplug a wifi dongle, say) and the non-dedicated ethernet.

  10. Re:Unsafe at any speed (above 100 MPH)... on The First Person Ever To Die In a Tesla Is a Guy Who Stole One · · Score: 1

    Nope.
    Suppose a car of m=1000kg mass.
    Kinetic Energy E_kin = m/2 * v^2

    E_kin(standing car): 0 J
    E_kin(20mph ~= 9 m/s): 40.5 kJ
    E_kin(80mph ~= 36 m/s): 648 kJ
    E_kin(100mph ~= 45 m/s): ~1 MJ

    Difference between the first two: 40.5 kJ
    Difference between the latter two: ~352 kJ

    I take the 20mph one, thanks..

  14. Re:what's in a name on Autonomous Trucking · · Score: 1

    It's out of question that it will sometimes fuck up. It's desirable as long as it does not fuck up as much as humans do.

    I trust the Internet as a transmission medium -- so long as I'm using solid encryption.

    So you do not trust the Internet as a transmission medium.

    Everyone who ever rode a motorcycle knows very well they those things already self-balance to an impressive degree. Even if you wanted, you couldn't make one simply fall over (short of giving the handlebar a huge jerk)

  21. Re:Comparison to Windows on X Window System Turns 30 Years Old · · Score: 1

    I think you misunderstand what kind of statements people tend to get flamed for. This is pretty spot on, windows does have the better GUI, after all, a huge amount of money has been thrown at it.
    That being said, i'd still not use it because a nice GUI is useless when the rest is crap.

    "four giant nuclear plants?" Dammit, that's extremely useless a unit of measurement.
    Literally everyone should know by now that the standard SI unit for power consumption is medium-sized town.
    So, how many medium sized town do those cable boxes consume in total?
