and youre oblivious to the fact that a table with eighteen quintillion rows would never load
I think you're oblivious to the fact that no one person is going to fetch every single row. You do know how a database works, don't you?
so not only were you incapable of scaling your infrastructure or your program to handle four billion rows --something every sysadmin on the planet is capable of-- you weren't even competent enough to set up monitoring for it.
They were capable of the first part, and are now doing it. They just didn't realise it needed to be done.
the ones that lost all their data dont care.
No-one lost all their data. At most they lost 74 minutes' work.
There's no fundamental law against a giant flying reptile that breathes fire either, but that doesn't mean it's actually gonna happen.
Doesn't mean it's not.
so why can't flying firebreathing dragons exist?
There's no fundamental reason they can't. There are very good reasons why the hitherto only mechanism available to produce them, evolution, has failed to do so, but it's not literally impossible.
Some things from science fiction are doomed to remain just that, fiction. That's my opinion.
Then don't state it as fact as you literally just did.
Of course your assertion that true AI will happen is also just an opinion.
a) It can't be both an assertion and just an opinion. b) I didn't make any such assertion. You've mistakenly assumed, as is so often the way, that I'm taking the diametrically opposite position because I've taken issue with yours.
(although every day that passes with AI continuing to be lame just adds to my side of the argument)
No it doesn't. I could just as blithely claim that every day that passes without self-aware AI is a day closer to self-aware AI coming into existence, if it is ever going to do so. AI is certainly improving every day. We're certainly not getting any further away from having true AI.
If true AI happens, it only has to happen once to prove your guess wrong. To prove your guess right, it'll have to stay fiction for the rest of time.
Perhaps you should wise up to the fact that not everyone is like you, wants to be like you, or should aspire to be like you. People listen to radios in their cars in their millions. Complaining that it's "not the 90s" any more won't do anything to change that fact. Other people have different opinions about things to you. Sounds like you have a problem with that, for some reason.
But I guess it wouldn't be Slashdot without at least one commenter extrapolating from their sample size of one (plus a few) to the entire rest of the population.
You may be "far from alone" but that doesn't mean no-one else ever listens to the radio. Plenty of people do.

Its worth pointing out that its not a 'gravity way' at all. Its a simple compression wave. Gravity has exactly 0 to do with it.
Gravity has plenty to do with it. Perhaps you should have at least checked the Wikipedia page on the subject before making an arse out of yourself. Again.
He's written a blog post describing how to run openSUSE Leap 42.2 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2 on Windows 10, according to Fossbytes, which reports that currently users have two options -- openSUSE Leap 42.2 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2.
So you can run openSUSE Leap 42.2 or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2? But how do you choose which of openSUSE Leap 42.2 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2 to run?

Those samples are anything but "clear." It's still impressive, given the compression ratio, but there's no need to go overboard. You wouldn't want to have to rely on your understanding of one of these samples
since a low datarate for voice communications would be great, I'd think, for interplanetary distances
If you're looking at waiting minutes for any reply, you might as well just use text. If you're on another planet, and incapacitated in such a way that you can't type, and you need help from home, you're probably pretty much boned already.
I certainly wouldn't want to rely on this codec to get any emergency information across clearly.
Slashdot Mirror
Doesn't really matter. The loss could be more or less undone in 74 minutes. Doesn't matter whether it's ten kids or a billion kids.

Read the whole thing next time, eh?
Some data will be lost of course, but that's better than losing all data, which apparently these people did.
No they didn't.
Any student progress from 9:19 to 10:33 a.m
So a grand total of about 74 minutes' work was lost.
Where does the idea that Da Vinci is "elephant sized" come from? The link is to another Slashdot summary, and most of the links are dead.
It's not exactly sleek, but from what I've seen is hardly elephant-sized. Unless you mean a baby elephant.
My Valcun first officer tells me we're running the risk of Klangon attack, but I never listen to that pointy-nosed pink-blooded twerp.
where it is up to the viewer to understand that it is a different view on the same "Federation" as in Star Trek
Blake's 7's Federation had nothing in common with Trek's Federation except one word in their name. Terran Federation != United Federation of Planets.

I would also refer you to this AC comment which you may not have seen: https://slashdot.org/comments....
Self-aware sentient AI is one
Yeah, because no-one who ever said something was impossible without a shred of evidence was ever proven wrong, right?
There is absolutely nothing stopping the eventual emergence of self-aware artificial intelligence. There's no fundamental law against it.
It does exactly what it is programmed/trained to do, nothing more, nothing less.
Which will, one day, be something along the lines of "whatever it wants to do," or an interpretation of a set of instructions.
How do we know it's really him talking?
Win 10 IS
That's a whole nother conspiracy theory.
Levison had custody of his service's SSL encryption key that could help the government obtain Snowden's password.
If they could have obtained the password, Lavabit must have been doing things really wrong, no? Salting and hashing and all that...
Yo dawg, I... ah, screw it.
What makes you think Assange's offer had anything to do with the reduction to Manning's sentence?
Apparently I'm doing it wrong.
I dread to think how long it took you to post this comment. Kudos on not getting thrown out of the library before you did it, though.

I was just talking about mechanical noise in general, which you can still get from even a new TV when you switch on or off as relays click.
So why do you settle for just wiping down there?
Because I don't use my butt for typing, shaking hands, conveying food to my mouth, scratching...
Um, what? Nothing's moving in your TV, Sparky...
Um, yes it is. Even new TVs contain mechanical relays.
