No, you're saying.999 =.999... the elipses imply infinite repeating. Since infinity is a direction, not a value,.999... * 10 will be 9.999... there will bo no new 0 at the end of the value, ever.
if you treat it as a limit, it will be one. lim x-> 9 x/9 = 1 \displaystyle\lim_{x\to9}\frac{x}{9} = 1
Which is also the same as the derivative.... d/dx x/9 = 1/9, assuming the point (9,1) => y=(1/9)(x-9)+1 => y=1/9x => f(9) = 1 \frac{d}{dx} \frac{x}{9} = \frac{1}{9}
Redundant power supplies are to provide high availability in the case one fails. You can look at a couple things though.
Most UPS vendors have a network-based communication between server and UPS. It may be a premium feature, but it should shutdown a server when the power goes out.
As for power in general, if you need longer times, I would look into some form of generation. APC even makes fuel cell in-datacenter generators. You need a Hydrogen supply and a water drain.
Nettops with network boot are a good choice. The reason Thin Clients are more expensive is they usually have an expensive, flash based disk inside. Thin clients also often include a Windows XP embedded or some other tweaked OS. It isn't like 20 years ago when they were just XTERMs.
Also, you are likely paying a tax for the thin client management software that accompanies most thin clients now days. This software allows you to do things like install applications directly to a thin client's flash. Not so thin anymore.
I'm currently in the process of dividing my HTPC frontend into 3 parts. Instead of settling on Mythfrontend alone, I'm going to run Boxee, XBMC (supports myth:// URLs), and mythfrontend. Since mythbackend is reliable, I want to keep it to record my OTA shows and cable shows. But adding Boxee and XBMC to the HTPC frontend will give me support for Netflix and Hulu, better DVD support, etc. I've been and HTPC user for 5+ years, and no one solution is perfect or ever has been. I'm hoping the multi-program frontend solution will work best.
In a single address, yes 128 bits is double 64 bits. In terms of arch, this generally refers to the total available address space. 64bit CPUs aren't double 32bit CPUs.
So then that proves it. Change your cert for valid reasons, and you get blocked because it looks like a MITM attack at the server.
If the Notaries trust an alternative source of authentication such as a trusted CA, then they could potentially look past this, but isn't the point of a Notary for authentication to avoid that all together?.
What browser do you use? We're talking about Authentication of certificates. If Paypal changes its certificate to a new one that is Authenticated by a trusted CA, nobody gets a "warning" that the certificate has changed.
If you self-sign certificates, and explicitly trust specific certs, then you would be warned if it changed.
Ya. This is ONLY good if the MITM attack is near the client or inbetween the client and the server. If the MITM attack is at the server or the near the server, this is pointless and would just provide a false sense of security.
I was thinking the same thing about using historical certificates. The bad thing here is when a host changes its certificate for a valid reason it would lose trust for some time.
If your data is sensitive or governed by a regulation like HIPAA, you should've had a BAA in place with the host that regulated access. But from what you descibed you still OWN the data, nobody copied or used your data. Without an additional agreement, someone reading your data, code, etc is a risk you take.
Well, not so much a loophole as HIPAA was not designed to protect data at healthcare record storage companies chosen by the patient. I don't think google "found" this as it has always been known to all of the healthcare community (at least security professionals). You are only covered by HIPAA if you are a "Covered Entity" (CE) which includes health plans (insurance), healthcare providers (doctors) or a healthcare clearinghouse (converts non-standard healthcare data into standardized healthcare formats like X12 format).
If Google or any healthcare records storage comapany is being used by a CE and has a contract with that CE, they are a Business Associate. BAs of CEs are subject to the HIPAA Security Rule (the section of HIPAA that is in question and largely referred to about protecting healthcare data).

Since when was SGI a single architecture? Granted they started off with MIPS, and did well. But yes, SGI *DID* sell x86 systems that supported both Linux and Windows OSes for several years. They still sell Linux systems Plus, MIPS ain't dead. I had a new Octane2 to mess with a couple years ago, its 350Mhz R12000 was pretty awesome and was very fast compared to 800-1Ghz x86 processors from back then. I guess the old saying "Don't knock it till you try it" applies well here. It's expensive hardware, and has a smaller user base than a lot of enterprise manufacturers, but still it is very nice stuff.
Cingular is advertising portability nation wide on the local news channels in my area (Lexington, KY), yet when I call, they say they don't support it yet and will not until they "are required to do so". T-mobile is who I want to switch to, but Cingular refuses to release my number. T-mobile is more than willing to do it in my area, but Cingular apparently intends to oppose the portability (to better competition for the interest of consumers) tooth and nail. Good thing i'm not in one of those Cingular 2yr(!) contracts. Anyone think I should make a formal complaint? I'm not in the top 100 MSAs but their advertising is mis-leading, had no fine print about MSA limitations (I believe it said nationwide, in fact), and said they can transfer "any number, including home phones".
Does anyone have a link to the actual WLNP Act that the FCC instated? I want to actually read the law word for word, but google and many tries yeilds no results.

actually, a short time ago, christianity was not considered a cult. this would have been when the romans were still around. so thousands of years ago, yes. but then again, before christianity, people believed in mythological gods who controlled everything, just becasue they couldn't explain some things. as for a single book being widely-read. that's not documentation of a religion. thats the documentation of what happened in the forming of a brotherhood and a religion. The old and new testament are made up of other people and groups of people's stories and recordings. there are countless more scrolls and texts by people talking about christianity, or mentioning it for the past two thousand years. everything from buddhism to islam to christianity has been mentioned in writings for thousands of years. show me anything that talks about scientology thats even 100 years old. just to clarify, christianity wasn't based on a book... so by my previous definition, it wouldn't have been considered a cult. and back when christianity was formed, there was no religious freedom, so everything that strayed from the norm was a cult and evil.
scientology is based on the fact that two authors had a bet as to who could write a book and get a cult following first. they have no right to order google to do anything... they fell for it hook, line and sinker. and now they're a cult based on a stupid book. religions are defined, old, and well decumented. scientology is not that, they are a cult. it would be a stretch to refer to them as a brotherhood, even.
the FNN which was created for KLAT2, is not a speed increase of ethernet by using multiple network cards. It basically allows full speed (100mb full-duplex) without a 64+ port, full wire speed switch. If such a thing even existed. Cringley's network is just 4 channel bonded network layers. Channel bonding actually has slightly more overhead than FNN. With KLAT2's FNN, each machine is on 4 seperate networks. No matter what other machine a single machine needs to communicate with, they each share one common network. Each network is held together with one switch, so there is always a full speed route to every other computer in the cluster. The OS handles this directly by using/etc/ethers to hard code the hardware addresses of every computer. different networks are different subnets, and the network routes are layed out accordingly.... blah blah... I could go on and on, but aggregate.org has more info.
As for the algorithm everyone is talking about. there are some versions which can return a pattern in a second or two on a slow celeron. then there are some version which are designed optimized for certain datasets which take time to run. but generally, you don't need a supercomputer to design a fnn. even with 64+ nodes.
hmm. dual or quad processors = memory bandwidth/n . go ahead sacrifice memory bandwidth, or just get 2-4 seperate uniprocessor machines and get better performance at about the same cost with a cluster... hrmph.... anyone else notice/. getting ahead of themselves here?
seriously, hasn't everyone seen every idea for every case already? half these people are re-inventing the wheel.
water cooling, what's new. you buy a $150 blizzard kit now, gamers all over have them.
rounded cables, great idea, but these people adding 30 MORE cables in, just add to the clutter, and with the wrappings, make it just as bad as with regular ribbons.
as for fans, thats the big one, everyone wants more suction, pull more from the outside, yet they dont see the need to guide it well. blow holes, great idea, moronic iplementation. a regular blow hole, sucks more dirt and dust into a case than anything else. i've never seen one with a foam filter, have you? my case suports 3 fans on the front, effectively blow holes, it also has a built in filter, maybe people should just stick with regular cases after all?
i don't know about you, but half this crap makes cases less apealing and baulky, and do they really gain the performance for what they pay. at work, we want the best performance from our machines, should i start tearing apart the cases? no, its not feasable, or worthy. cooling an extra 4 degrees by adding 10 fans doesn't help me, and OC'ing isn't in a plan at all. i think these people need to just set their machines by a vent and crank up the a/c.
as for lights and windows, woohoo! but like, i said, there is a boiling point when it takes you 30 minutes to re-assemble your computer at a lan party.
wtf! scsi!
you gotta be shittin me. that picture looked liek it was made the same as the others. only way you can make a scsi rounded cable and expect it to work is by twisting pairs. cross-talk!
no necissarily.... i'm not an expert, but what we did was give multiple nics to each machine.... using multiple switches and multiple nics, you can get as many machines as you want, we currently have 66, and they act as one machine...
