I was just using this method last night. Using aria2 and putting 4 to 8 connections through at once to see how fast I was going. It was in the ballpark of what I was expecting so I can see myself using it again in the future for ballpark numbers.
Bash is an OS? You can uninstall bash and have everything run just as smooth with a replacement shell. Unlike a certain OS where you can't even remove a web browser and expect it to boot up...
Yeah I don't do any hiring.... if I did I wouldn't of hired the last 10 'programmers' they've hired. The FizzBuzz is very simple but it'll weed out all those people who have absolutely no idea what they're doing.
I just had to tell a client of mine again that in tandem to whatever other tests they want to give new hires they should give them a piece of paper and have them write some code to:
Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print "Fizz" instead of the number and for the multiples of five print "Buzz". For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print "FizzBuzz".
I don't even want to know how much tax payer money was pissed away for that "key verdict" - having worked with quite a few monitoring and alarm systems for years I can tell you that most of the time "automatic alarms" get ignored and in fact can cause worse problems when an actual real alarm does occur because of how the operators tune them out - seems like they completely missed the mark on this - the real problem is most likely where you would expect it, the people running the system - human error I am sure !
I think everyone's familiar of that phenomenon regarding the alarm that cried wolf due to all the car alarms. Rarely do people even turn their head when they hear a car alarm.
I think I'm gonna make a "Let's blame IT!" t-shirt cause it's pretty popular theme. Seems to me that the hardware for detecting the problems was there, but the software required "the right person to be looking at the right data at the right time" which sounds vaguely like "the software requires training". If the data output is coming at you like a Matrix display and it is way too complicated to train people to reliably do their job then you upgrade the software. You can't put blame on inanimate objects for things like this. If a tree falls on your house, you can blame the tree, the wind, your god - but you can't blame a machine for not being built right. Especially not when a human has already admitted to stepping "away from his safety monitor for a brief cigarette break, and that at this moment he missed the complex warning signs on screen."
So the software/hardware is at fault for not reminding the guy audibly to do his job instead of smoke a cigarette. Waste of taxpayer sweat.
I was just pondering that thought earlier tonight. If my state really wants to keep me safe on the road why enforce me to wear seatbelts and not enforce cars to not have blazingly loud factory stereos that distract the drivers. I really can't wait for an automated vehicle system.
The real reason is of course because with seatbelt enforcement, when in a violation in and of itself, allow cops to pull over anyone they feel like under the pretext of 'checking on their safety'. Same way Homeland Security will be doing door to door house checks for your security.
Yeah me and my son spent countless hours playing around and laughing over the crazy things we were able to do with scratch. Fun to learn programming and foster creativity.
OH KNOCK IT OFF, What Manning did was uphold the Declaration of Independence.... the part that says its the right and duty of Americans to keep their government in check. We need information to do that.
Great point! Manning took an oath to protect the constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic.
Amen! You can't just SAY you're gonna pull the troops out and then DO IT. You have to wait 4-5 years for the dust to settle... then BLAMO! Pull the troops out from under the rug! Or the rug out from under the troops, or something... he'll figure it out he's the president.
I say they've been in that state of perpetual war for a couple decades, at least. Just since the 80's the U.S. have put boots on the ground or wings in the air in El Salvador, Libya, Sinai, Lebanon, Egypt, Grenada, Honduras, Chad, Bolivia, Kuwait, Panama, Columbia, Bolivia, Peru, Philippines, Monrovia, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Zaire, Turkey, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Macedonia, Haiti, Bosnia, Liberia, Central African Republic, Albania, Congo, Gabon, Cambodia, Kenya, Afghanistan, East Timor, Yemen, Pakistan just naming a few.
So war, illegal killings, torture, smart bombs that hit foreign embassies are a non-destructive agenda? And what is the best interest of the American people? To come across like dicks to the rest of the world?
But in releasing the diplomatic cables, he's undermining attempts to avoid and settle conflicts through diplomacy.
But the cables show how intimidation was used. Might as well point a gun it achieves the same effect, the conflicts were settled because one side threatened the other.
They don't use Steam in their games anymore than they use Wal-Mart in their games.
Not that I disagree with your point, but some games DO use steam in their game. They use steam as the anti-cheat measure. In order to play it you have to have a steam account. This, I think, is the brick n mortars gripe. To them, it's like buying at Walmart and then having to go to GameStop and get an account there to play the game. Their customers HAVE to go to their competition to play. Where most likely said customers see the benefits of buying digital over a box with a crappy manual in it.
Yeah I haven't watched the channel in a long time, it used to be one of the few staples I'd automatically turn to. I don't watch as much TV as I used to but their programming really has gone to hell. Let's see what's on today:
7am-1pm 6 episodes of Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files - maybe a little science, and only some fiction that the producers could throw in to make it exciting 1pm-9pm 8 episodes of Destination Truth - which to me sounds like the exact same paranormal show above 9pm Fact or Faked again 10pm-11pm 2 episodes of Hollywood Treasure - another antique show...? 11pm Destination Truth 12am Fact or Faked again! 1am The Midnight Meat Train - without saying anything about how good the movie is, it's labeled as a crime/drama/horror/mystery/thriller 3am Dracula III - hey sympathy points here for at least showing something in season
Where is the Science Fiction!? It'll be mixed emotions when this channel finally goes off the air (btw is that term still relevant?) because it'll be one less channel of drivel but I still miss what it used to be when it played back to back to back to back sci-fi movies and cartoons.
You forgot some small and insignificant detail - US & Canada make an effort to prevent this, as opposed to Iraqi and Afghan governments that sponsored the terrorists.
And what specifically do they do to prevent it? Maybe you missed the previously leaked document on the U.S. concern for their image as a 'terrorist breeding ground'. Or maybe you should take a long look at some of the actions the CIA has perpetrated in dozens of counties and then define the word terrorist for me again.
And BTW - what you just described happed a lot in the past and will happen again. This is called foreign policy. This is normal!
Foreign policy is all about invading countries near countries you want to piss off? This is normal?

I don't and won't buy software with this kind of DRM on it.
What's the exchange rate from MS points to Schrute Bucks?
Of course! An intelligence agency ran by an intelligence agency, of course it's super cloak n dagger.
It's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.

the second they walk into a government building and demand them. Prior to that ... eat em.

Yeah, I can agree with that. The summaries usually are comical having read the actual stories the previous day.
Nations have to be able to communicate with each other off the public record on some matters.
No, they don't. But governments seem to have the need to, usually when said communications would upset their populace.
See, this is why I hate slashdot.
You hate it so much, yet here you are.

So this is the first jet to pass over Los Angeles at sunset? Momentous occasion!
Brian is wrong. Maybe he didn't view the video but it's very clear cut that it is NOT an airliner.

9pm Fact or Faked again
10pm-11pm 2 episodes of Hollywood Treasure - another antique show...?
11pm Destination Truth
12am Fact or Faked again!
1am The Midnight Meat Train - without saying anything about how good the movie is, it's labeled as a crime/drama/horror/mystery/thriller
3am Dracula III - hey sympathy points here for at least showing something in season
