You can't really train abroad for a job as a doctor or a lawyer in the US.
I'm pretty sure you're wrong on the former and I know for a fact you're wrong on the latter (having known of solicitors who studied law in Ireland and who then went and passed Bar exams in the USA).
Wrong. There is no single document that describes a British constitution, rather the constitution of British law is its jurisprudence in aggregate - much of it writ in statute and in judgement.
Essentially, every country that had been colonized at some point by Britain uses British common law.
More than that, some (but dwindling) former colonies still have the British "Law Lords" as their judiciary of last resort (via either the House of Lords (for Scotland at least) or the Privy Council).
American common law includes British common prior to 1792
And further, don't the US courts still take into consideration rulings involving such "common" british common law, even where it happens way after 1792?
I can't find it back right now, but I thought there was a case (involving treason I think) ruled on in the late 1800s in an Irish court (still in union with England back then) which set precedent that is recognised in the USA too. Wish I could remember the name...
Email me tomorrow and Cc the list - or send me the post number. If we dropped your bug on the floor, apologies, sometimes we miss things - feel free to be as annoying about bugging the list and me as the bug annoys you.
If you're running the 'unstable' 0.99 series and it's earlier than 0.99.3, then there's a decent chance your bug is already fixed. If you're running 0.99.3, I *really* want to find out what you're seeing and fix it (because AFAIK, 0.99.3 is stable for OSPF and there are no 1.0 blocker bugs for ospfd in 0.99.3).
The memory usage difference alone is amazing,... And soft-reconfig has been in for a while now.
Excellent. Then show me your bgpctl output. Because based on what I've read, OpenBGPd 3.7 uses *more* RAM now than Quagga does for *fewer* full feeds. I'm only going by OpenBGPd's *own* output though. If it's true, fair enough. But it doesn't seem to be, in which case it's highly annoying to hear this falsehood regurgitated over and over.
nevermind how openbgpd loads in full feeds so much faster,
This is probably still the case, though it should be *much* closer now with 0.99.
doesn't occasionally lose sessions under high load like zebra/quagga.
Yep, that was a *highly* annoying aspect of GNU Zebra and hence Quagga (upto 0.98.5). This is now, thankfully, fixed.
ill buy something that actually work next time and won't crash randomly with no error messages
What problems are you having? Post the errors, logs, etc.. (or point me to your post) and we'll do our best to help tide you over until you buy whatever it is you intend to replace Quagga with.
NB: If you're using Quagga on RedHat RHEL, or a RHEL clone (CentOS), you must upgrade it - it can't work. RH have been shipping a broken (and now quite old - from 2004) development snapshot. I don't know why they don't fix this package.:(
(Quagga, Zebra and MRT are all dead, and GateD was withdrawn).
Not true, Quagga is actively maintained. How on earth did you get the idea it was dead, that concerns me a lot (are you simply mistaken, or is there something we need to fix?)
FWIW, some of the highest-end OpenGL machines would have their display inter-locked with the display's sync rate, so (say) 60fps would be the most you'd get, regardless.
Obviously, glxgears isn't a comprehensive benchmark as it only utilizes a small set of GL functions - but everyone uses it to see if their video drivers are performing up to where they would expect basic functions to run.
So that makes glxgears a unit test, not a benchmark. You're deluded if you think the fps of glxgears is in anyway generally meaningful.
I studied the alpha prior to the announcement that their new version would have out-of-order, so I don't know if they ever did go that route.
Yep, with the 21264 - aggresively out-of-order CPU. The 21064 and 21164 might not have executed instructions out-of-order, however they were highly speculative. AXP arch was designed for out-of-order from the beginning, the two early CPUs did memory IO out-of-order. 21064 had a 32 entry register file it seems, not 2, btw, according to a paperp on the AXP 21064 I found on google written by a DECy.
Their performance would be comparable to the AMD-64, but not much faster.
Agreed, cause guess what: AMD64 is Alpha's progeny-in-spirit.;)
The AMD K7 is very alpha-like (hence so is the K8). Highly speculative, out-of-order, wide multiple issue CPUs like the 21264. Not co-incidentally given that Dirk Meyer, co-architect of the 21264, led the AMD K7 design team. K7 used the 21164/21264 EV6 PtP interconnect too. K8 made it routable with HyperTransport - just as DEC^WCompaq did with EV6 in the 21364. You would still expect this mythical equivalently developed Alpha to beat AMD64 though, given it'd be able to use the die-space 'wasted' on x86-decoding for something more productive (cache or somesuch).
Who invented packet switching, the premise upon which IP builds?
You think ARPANet was somehow the *only* packet-switched computer network in the 70s/80s? Ever heard of Cyclades? You think the internet was the only widely deployed computer information network? Ever hear of 'Minitel'?
blogs.sun.com uses quite simple "Answer this simple math question: X + Y = [...]" textboxes and it seems to date to be quite effective. If spammers evolve, just add more language entropy to the questions (ie phrase the question in woolier language, "What is X added to Y?" "The addition of X to Y is?" "If you have X and Y apples, how many do you have altogether?", etc). You can use other types of questions too obviously.
I can't find any definition of the word "company" which wouldn't imply that its aim is not profit;
Actually, no such aim is implied by "company" at all.
The general aims of a company are defined in its articles of incorporation and typically expanded on in its memorandum of association, including whether or not it intends to operate for profit (generally a company doesn't restrict itself from making a profit, unless explicitely noted). Companies whose aims do not include profits often can avail of tax relief, and possibly other forms of relief.
That companies typically exist to make profits does not mean all companies do, nor that the definition of company implies for-profit.
He wasn't chased at all. De Menezes *walked* through the station, broke into a trot on the platform to get into the train and then sat down. Next thing he knows a man who had accompanied him onto the train (a police officer, but Charles couldn't have known that because at no point did they identify themselves to him. Also at least 2 other surveillance officers were on the train with him) physically restrains him and pins him down into his seat, while two or more special ops police officers (or possibly soldiers..) come running along and then shoot him *eleven* times, no questions asked, over a 30 second period.
Course, he lived in the same building and had vaguely the same skin colour as a suspected terrorist, and he went from that building to a tube station, so you can't really blame the police.
The man reported by witnesses as running through Stockport station and jumping over the barrier was not Charles but one of the police officers (or SAS squaddies possibly, we don't know yet - MoD confirms military were involved, though they deny they were directly involved) running to go execute Charles.
The only other significant energy wheels transfer to the ground is a bit of hysteresis and some skidding.
Not sure what you mean hysteris (which does not refer to forces or energy per se, but to certain behaviours, possibly involving forces/energy transfer. Least in my understanding) but there's a heat transfer from the rubber of the tyres to the road, typically - unless the road is already quite warm.
The Commodore name has been in dutch hands for a while now, with Tulip bv. Also, I remember applying Commodore logos to PCs in Escoms' Nieuw Vennep factory in the Netherland when I had a temp job at Escom as a kid, before Escom went bust (Escom owned the name for some reason, they were a thrower-together of commodity component whitebox PCs). That was about 9 years ago I think.

look at ... how many years ago "Moore's Law" said a 4.5 GHz replacement should have been available
Nit: Moore's law has nothing to do with clock speed, it's about transistor count. The "law" still holds btw.

Its BGP daemon is BY FAR better than ... quagga
I'd strongly dispute that. Obviously the OpenBGPd think so - I'd love to read a comparison from somone other than an OpenBSD developer though.
SIXXS "Ghost Route Hunter" and RIPEs' RIS both use Quagga btw.

And he also owns Twentieth Century Fox.
Finally, this is (should be) old news. Sky One showed this promo *last year*.
For Linux?
It's the name of the driver on Solaris too, man hme. Maybe, just maybe, it's the Sun codename for the hardware concerned.
No that makes it a test.

glxgears is a benchmark for graphics acceleration.
glx gears is NOT a benchmark, the numbers it produces are meaningless for anything other than 'how fast does glxgears' run. If you don't believe me, maybe you'll believe this ATi-er saying glxgears is not a benchmark?.

The exception to this is Ethernet network connections, which are very well isolated.
Nope, no exception. It's quite important to make sure equipment connected via electrical ethernet has common ground.
