...I can see the day where an automated system can automatically flag and/or ticket you for exceeding the speed limit. Of course, they already have camera bases systems today, that photograph your license plate.
And this is a problem because... ? Really, if there is a reason to be speeding, then fine. Speed limits are there for a reason. If the speed limit is too long, it's the responsibility of the people to raise it.
Besides, this would have to be enforced locally. If it is setup as a warning system to law enforcement that someone is going 90mph on I-278, have a cop stop him and ticket him. If you have a legal reason to be speeding, such as a medical emergency, then I'm sure it'll be up to the officer to determine what happens.
Now if it were more private companies having access to the data, THAT I'd be more worried about.
true, it depends on the app, BUT most apps don't really take advantage of bandwith of memory transfers (it would only help if you are reading a large (ie larger than your cachesize) continouus section of ram. How many apps do that ? Well, in the case of video, I'd imagine image maps.. you know.. the textures on 3d objects. Having a lot of textures, I'd imagine, would require some time to do, not great, but some time. I don't know much about video cards in terms of how they handle textures, but to preload all your textures onto your videocard someday, or even some of it could happen.
With a paralell bus, swapping textures in and out might be faster.:) Who needs the speed? I dunno, I'm just arguin' here.
Responding to a troll. Some schools are more about research and others, not. I like brooklyn college since it has many agendas, one of them being a good school.
Blame the head of the CIS dept. When i went there, the courses you are thinking of are were called 200 and 201 (i think). I got a 4 on the harder test. Seeing that my grades were so good, the prior head looked at my grades in CIS and the score. He gave me the opportunity to take the equvilancy test (the final) for 201 and gave me credit for both.
You should have persued your case taht AB was harder.. 'cause it was a hella lot harder:)
I hope you do realize that the 533mhz FSB that intel is claiming is really a 133mhz bus that is quad-pumped (similar to agp which is 66mhz, double- quad- or 8way-pumped to give higher bandwidth but worse latency). This is not the optimal solution, and is certainly a far cry from a true 533mhz fsb.
Is that so? Paralellism and efficiency depends on the application in use. If the bus, with one line, can always be ready to carry the next instruction without blocking the prior one, then sure, it's a great solution.
If there is any reason for hesitation of the bus, then instructions will queue. It is just like SMP processors. It's not always guarnateed that any processor will be given it's full capacity to process. Is why SMP works out a little better as it handles extra instructions.
Optimal solution, no, but a "true 533 bus" might have latency problems if the queue gets full.
Poly is unfortunately,a terrible school in terms of student relations. I went there starting in '95 and transfered out asap. Sorry to have to say this, but their proiorities aren't churning out good graduates, but sucking them in.
From that stupid 3 person staffed registrar area, to the badly admined sun servers (is utopia.poly.edu still around?), bad computer labs, terrible classrooms.
Maybe it was a great school 20 years ago, but a lot has to be fixed before they start building new things like the gym, the dorms (which are only like a third full and such.
Well, think of it. If the bandwidth can go high enough, you don't need a cradle for syncing your pda anymore, unless you need that uber-high speed of moving mp3's to it. Otherwise, syncing contacts and small documents won't be a terrible thing. Just put it next to your computer and hit a sync button on the pda:)
Or, think of the applications with thinsg such as component systems. Someone would just have to write one protocol, using blue tooth, and one device and control another without every device to have a wire connecting out. Mmm?
Hell, use it in christmas lights and maybe do some neat lighting with it. I can go on and on:)
Too bad you didn't make the offending domain a hyperlink. I'm sure they would have loved the slashdotting. Think of the irony of it. You can't use your parent's computer because of burstabit, but burstabit couldn't use their own servers because of you:)
Yes, might doesn't make right.. blah blah blah, but three lefts do.:P
Your comment reminds me when "I am weasle" spun off. They had the red butt baboon running around in circles: "I R spinning off! I R spinnning off!" to the toon of "neener-neener-neener".
Easy way to identify Japanese, is their sylables are typically 2 to 3 chars long. Like Tenchi Muyo or arigato. Feng shui are 4 each. As someone posted.. most certainly Chinese, and most certainly, most certainly not Japanese.
Of course, you know you are in heaven when an MS App goes berserk, you can open a term window and do a "ps auxwww | grep Word" and "kill -9" it out right.
Ah, but because there's a correlation, the numbers will continue to work in relation. So if some percent more become employed, some other percent will stop blogging. Cause and effect? Only cause and effect will be one number does one thing, the other will do something.
Cause and effect can be hypothesised to some degree, but you do have to admit, if you have more time for blogging, you prolly aren't employed.
Employee misbehavior spans an entire spectrum of seriousness, from stealing paper clips to embezzling billions. You can't prevent a determined and dishonest sysadmin from sabotaging a system any more than you can prevent an accountant from diverting funds or an after-hours custodian from taking things off peoples' desks.
There is no panacea, technological or otherwise.
Ah, but you can make it harder, by having servers administered rotate among admins. That way, you cross train, and if something looks fishy, it can be.. fixed.
It _is_ ugly to express your true feelings always. And to express your true feelings to people you don't even know. Civilized society is based on a level of manners and treating others decently. Doing otherwise leads to chaos and barbarity. Which is pretty much what we have in the US today.
Right, but who do we apply those manners to? If I have no kinship to someone, it doesn't mean I go around punching people in the eye. But why should I go the extra mile?
Am I your friend already? I don't feel kinship with everyone. I don't feel familial love with people on the other continents. But with strangers, there is a politeness and kindness. It makes life in society much more pleasant than a Darwinian jungle. It makes it civilized. Opening doors for people, letting someone else in in traffic, etc. It says a lot how you treat others, because you're acting on your initiative, despite your treatment, not just reacting instinctively to others' behavior, giving good for good and evil for evil.
Maybe our society (if you are in the US) doesn't know manners anymore, so it's assumed you should be willing to empty your wallets at every chance, or you're just a hard-hearted greedy person. I would say that's a bizarre cultural expectation, since it expects you to love strangers like you love your family.
Lol, it's a colloqualism showing I don't think youare a blithering idiot:) I'm not saying we shouldn't act civilized. Don't start slamming doors in people's faces, much less not saying excuse me when bumping into people. And certainly not throwing flamming paper bags of poop at each other. I just don't feel the same for people that you might.
Company x-mas parties? I wouldn't dream of going. I see these people everyday, why should I be extra nice just because one single day out of the year comes by? Especially when they have their own agendas and wouldn't even go the extra mile for me? Same of random people? I'll never see some people ever again, ever. Why act as if now they are my friends for life when it's not true? Worse off, why bother accept it?
Recently, a boss of mine took me and "the team" out to lunch. Nice gesture, eh? The same boss is trying to get my personal cell number in case of emergencies and tried to sugar coat it as "in case of..." situations that made no sense. There are a lot of people with agendas to either make themselves feel good at the odd expense of looking and feeling good due to disonance or trying to get someone else.
Maybe I've just lived too long and see too much BS being presented to me.:)
I don't think letting everything hang out is some virtue--the virtue is in being able to behave in a civilized manner, taming your wilder passions. I certainly think that hypocrisy is preferable to everybody just letting all their ugliness hang out in some quest for being "real". The "real" in people is far from perfection, as our decadent culture attests, and much of it is not fit for viewing. It can only be good for people to try to be nicer. I try to be nicer all the time.
Then there lies the problem. Is it ugly for a human to express his true feeling? Or is it uglier when the hypocrisy is revealed?
Should I act kind to all people, even those that I don't care for? When they comes around again, should I think of Xmas when I saw them last? What about before hand when I never cared about some to begin with?
I care greatly about my close friends as I've said before. Should I make others feel awkward by patting them on the back, saying how much I care and all, and then when I'm needed or most counted on, I turn my back because I'm truely not interested in their friendship even though X-mas has passed?
You, my friend, if you are as nice as you claim to be year 'round, and feel the same kinship to everyone year 'round are not a hypocrite. Is that good? That's not for me to judge. Is my not being a hypocrit for reminding those that I have no care for about the times I was in need that they weren't there as well as showing appreciation to those who I hold dear any worse? Isn't that a dual standard?
Could you setup redundancy? Setup your DB to from colo to old place? Web pages/apps need to be duped.
Now mind you, if the latency between the two would have to be low enough that your DB doesn't choke doing redundancy/syncronization between your two sites.
If that can be setup, just change your namesevers to point to the new colo and watch the traffic transition over. Once your old site hits no traffic, you are done.
There are prolly better ways.. maybe just plain other ways.. but this is off the top of my head.
I just wish that there was a way to compile PHP into some sorta byte code. 'cause then you'd write your Mysql, XML, expat, imagemagik, and other php modules IN php. THEN it'd be truely portable.
Problem is, if your php module you wish to compile in isn't written for your system, your are screwed. Besides, using your language to develop your language forces the language to be bulletproof after age.
I've run into some oddities with php when you push its limits.

Great. I see two problems. My books will have odd stretch marks making text funky.
My second hand textbooks will be intentionally stretched as pranks by their prior owners.

.. fine. I'll patent the laser that can ignite stuff. Maybe I can get it powerful enough to shoot people in the ass.

How can i be offtopic for replying to my own comment? :) Just curious ...
I am the grammar nazi! There should be a , after "someone."
A hitman is the perfect job for you. You go, shoot someone. When they ask where you were, say you were at work! :)
They should create a pref to put all dupes in just so I can turn it off.
Working on a soon to be released opensource project.
