I was very happy before I met you, and I still am just as happy after. Well, maybe more, the Raspberry Ice after dinner was very very good.
But you are trolly as ever, with still no argument to stand on other than your overinflated opinion.
I, however, can provide evidence that remittances back to the country of origin is going up. The deal has substantially changed on both sides, we don't provide the opportunity we once did, and immigrants are not taking the deal we are offering.
The old plan was to do dirty jobs and get a better life for your kids. From which somehow you got:
all the previous immigrants who came here did glorious high paying jobs with their dignity intact
Look man, I can understand twisting my words, but that is the exact opposite of what I said. I know you are a famous k5 troll and all, but come on, at least try to read what I wrote and put some effort into it.
Want to try again? Or are you too tired from patting yourself on the back for being liek, sarcastic, liek. So far you barely rate a 1, any old moron can fail to read.
Well, now that we have the off topic all worked out to your satification, how about what I said? Immigrants coming to this country now do not see the same opportunities that some of the groups you mentioned. It is not what *I* think, but what I hear them tell me.
And for good reason, the plan for some seems to be America will import workers to do the jobs "americans won't" to fill the gaps. That is a least one of the bullshit claims behind Amnesty. It is not "come to America for a better life" ala Ellis Island anymore. It is now "Come to America and do dirty jobs".
It is not discriminatory, I would rather see them come with the intent to assimilate, or at least an incentive to assimilate. But why would they? The old plan was to do dirty jobs and get a better life for your kids. Now the wife and kids stay behind, Dad comes without papers and the money is sent home.
My personal thought is that coming here illegally is much the same as getting something for free: it is worth what you paid.
Well, as a Mexican who is "Upwardly Mobile" as you say, my mother picked cotton in Texas for a living and a grandfather who got his citizenship to fight in WWII, it is not the same. The new immigrants to my Hispanic community want to make their money, then go back home.
Yeah, but every momma wants their little boy or girl to grow up, go to collage and be a professional. Being a factory worker just does not cut it.
We can just open the flood gates and import people to do dirty work. No wonder they don't want to assimilate any more, they know wage slavery when they see it.

Sounds like the dragonfly's in my area going after a swarm of gnats. It could appear like "unison" as they dart into the cloud. Unfortunately, there are no screenies, so it did not happen.

I have one. However, I envisioned building a cube like this with two motherboards and 2 Q6600's would give 8 cores. They would perform significantly better than the AMD's listed here.
The CPU/MB/MEM cost would be about 500 per board. That seems to be about the same price as they spent on 4 boards.
Based on tomshardware graphs the Q6600 should outperform the 3800 by about 50%. Plus, they mention network speed and bandwidth as an issue limiting speed. With only 2 nodes to supply 8 cores this should be less of an issue.
I am guessing they did, and that is why they made up the metric of "greeness" to justify the choice.
Power to watt, I am wondering which will draw more, 2 Q6600 OCed to 3GZ or this thing. Mine draws about 350 while crunching 4 Rosetta units, but the GPU is a significant part of that.
Stress testing? Use LoadRunner or some other tool to simulate users.
If you are using Java on Tomcat, BEA, or Websphere, use a product like PerformaSure to see a call tree of where your Java program is spending it's time. Sorts out how long each SQL takes too, and shows you what you actually sent. If you have external data sources, like SiteMinder, it will show that too.
If you mean "What happens if we lose a bit of hardware" simulate the whole thing on VMware on a single machine and kill/suspend VMs to see how it reacts.
Most importantly, MAKE SURE YOU MODEL WHAT YOU ARE TESTING. IF you are not testing a scaled up version of what users actually do, you have a bad test.
I assure you that no US military unit would follow the orders of a president that refused to turn over power unilaterally. And the closest thing we have to a Praetorian Guard, the Secret Service is not large enough to pull off a coop.
More likely the scenario would be just like it has been in past Republics, the Senate/Congress would proclaim a dictator with the SCOTUS approving it, or a constitutional convention would simply change the rules completely and allow for a dictator.
That would be soemwhat more problematic because you would have some ligitimacy.
I think you will find, going forward, that this sort of stuff is just getting started.
It is not that the Republicans or Democrats are any more or less corrupt than they were ago, it is just that the information wants to be free, man.
Whoever occupies the next presidency will be living in a fishbowl with 3-d cameras. I am pretty sure someone will monitor the water pressure going to the Whitehouse and determine when the President took a crap.
It is going to be brutal, the next Presidency. Unless we get Obama or maybe Romney, expect an attempted crackdown on web reporting.
Really? I ran a search on Clinton, it came up with nothing before 2000. I will trust your memory and assume that there was some sort of purge/loss to upgrade of stories that old or that the search is incomplete.
I suppose the only hook might have been that Matt Drudge broke the story on the net. Significant back then regardless of the news value.
Run all the articles you want about politics and IT, especially about "net neutrality" and patent law, but it is heck of strech here.

So all those people who put "TIA" at the end of their emails are warning me the CIA is watching?!
ZOMG!

Ok, well, we served Lotus Notes to 18000 people on 24 Intel based 2.4GHZ 2 or 4 cpu boxes. Performance sucked, people complained all the time.
We replaced that with 4 SUN boxes using the older version of this chip, after all email does not require much math. 16 cores each.
We used four for hardware redundacy, security. and geographical issues, not performance.
They run at about 15 to 25 percent busy during the day, spiking to 50+ when doing nightly backups.
Comes down to more than just CPU power, context switching, threading models, IO bandwidth and OS overhead all play a part too.
Still, far more intellegent than a land mine, and easier to clean up.
And, I don't know why you get such virilent PP spam, but Gmail does just fine at keeping it, and other spam, out of my mailbox.
We do, actually.

Well, it is a step above "It had the letters I and T in the article."
But not much.
So it is slashdot news because this senator made a silly comment about the internet being made of tubes?
Ok fine, but where is the little stomping foot detoning it is humor?
As for investigations, well, that is one thing this current congress can do well, come up with 300 investigations.
Pass a budget on time? No.
Pass any legislation? No.
Maybe there should an investigation about that...
I hear they found a larger specimen.
