Assuming 1/2 rotation on average for the next read, then it's actually 240 on average, 120 worst case.
Storage vendors usually rate 7.2k disks for 75, 10k for 120 and 15k for 180. Those are the conservative numbers, in reality with moderate queue depth you see much higher numbers.
Dropped my S1 about 5 times down concrete stairs bouncing off walls not to mention all the cobblestone and asphalt it has had to deal with. Sure the rim has some minor dents and scratches, the plastic isn't as shiny as it used to be and the screen has a few microscopic scratches (from some nasty type of fine construction sand not any metal objects). Tried banging the screen on an oak table corner a few times when drunk (to show off) and on one occasion dulled a less solid table corner with the same party trick.
I won't try any of that with the S3 but will find out for sure what will it take to break the S1 (aside dropping it to an urinal which fried the usb data, made the microphone act a bit funny at times and rendered the GPS aerial quite useless on a city street).
Would love to see a bit more scientific drop test video of the S3 than the one everyone's referring to. Just to feel safe (or not).
regarding power supplies.. blade servers have one set of power supplies per enclosure or even rack - maintaining redundancy is much more efficient that way. In addition to ouputting DC I bet all of them are available with DC input also. In a facility with central DC supply the total savings are certainly noteworthy. Networking and cooling are also shared and more robust, probably making the whole lot (energy and materials wise) cheaper to manufacture and run. Overall, blades inherently tend to use more energy-efficient components because of the increased density.
That said I'm not sure that a significant percentage of real world deployments can make use of all this. Plus depending on the IPC needs of the split up applications the overhead of communication and stalls between blades may outweigh all of the above. Especially since we don't have general purpose asynchronous chips yet - which reminds me.. where are the chips promised by Sun several years ago?:)
But "microblades".. as already speculated the whole blade concept may steer towards a robust and easily scalable, massively-SMP design. The spiral continues...
Forget the interference, I've lost an entire line of relatives who lived in a house approx 150ft from a high-tension power line. Only one of them turned close to 50, one died to cancer before he was 30. It was back when the problem wasn't recognized yet (at least here in former soviet union) and they were'nt the only ones in the neighbourhood. Although it seemed that some families had better reisistance, so it's probably genetic.
In a documentary Bowling for Columbine (about firearm problem in the States), an intresting point was raised.
It's all about media and media does very vell selling fear. Also most of the consumer market is fueled with fear.
So it is that as long as the waste is out of sight they keep selling murders, war and economy. I guess it isn't bad in itself to have a cop show and war on news but the packaging is disturbing. It's all dramatized up to a point of looking very 'american' in that negative sense that the word often has in the rest of the world. All in the name of viewer/reader ratings. And as long as people buy it there's no stopping it. Of course I have no first hand experience of the life in the States (for one thing I would love to see all that great wilderness as long as it's there but unfortunately it's such a hassle to get a visa these days).
the series contains four books, the last being "Children of the Mind"
there was a fifth in 1999 - "Ender's Shadow"
"Children of the Mind" was written in 1996 and in that list there were no books written later than 1995. So it's probably just out of date.
OT, but that's exactly what I think happens all the time (you've seen It just slightly before).
It takes some time for you to interpret the sensory data and in a suitable state of mind you get a kind of deja'vu effect.

We are just part of a "box" (3D) moving slowly across(?) time (4D).
:) what properties it has that makes you call it a dimension of space? you could look at it as only a means to describe the speed of change of the state of universe. the speed is relative and that creates time in our minds. we invent it to describe relativity. what is relative according to relativity theory? for me the two terms (time, relativity) are the same. (I've never tried to fully understand the theory, my thoughts are only based on disciplines quite uncomfortable to scientists)
people find that it helps to toss all logic out of the window to accept quantum physics too. it's only a matter of 'time';) that scientists come to the same conclusion about time:)
once you've managed to identify time as an effect of of our ability to remember in sequence the different moments, states of the universe/time as we call it, it's quite hard to think about it as a dimension similar to width/depth/height.
we measure the speed of change with it, which is relative.
a wise man once wrote something like this:
time is when something is impossible and all we need to make it possible is just one more dimension. let's take two-dimensional figures that are mirror images of each other and which you can't make identical by turning them in a two-dimensional space. for some beings who live in this 2D space their inability to make those figures identical is just what time is for us. you can't make your left glove to look like right glove. it doesn't make sense to you. as it doesn't make sense to relocate in space instantaneously but still there are men who find it quite natural:) just because you perceive the world as linear, contiguous, doesn't make it that, cosmically:)
For those who only drink coffee for caffeine it's absolutely great. It doesn't come with this nasty coffe-makes-your-bloodvessels-rigid effect, which contributes to most deaths caused by heart failure. Of course it could come with any number of other additional features:)
(but in coffee there's ~100 or 100s of funky compounds that have never been examined. or so I've heard)
When I was 18 and naive I was impressed with smart-drugs and the whole cyberpunk idea. I seemed to have no reason to live other than to live in the insane and exciting world of cyberpunk. It was utterly kewl. I thought I'd be happy to live 40 years but what a ride it would be. I'm glad I found other ideas in/of life.
The ethical questions are fundamentally the same for any conventional drugs, stimulants, smart-drugs and.. cybernetic implants/anything that might come in that line. A neverending race for competitivness. But I doubt very much those questions will be anything more than questions, since there's so much money to be made with all this stuff. And in todays world that's all that matters. A bit sad, that's all.
Wouldn't the service providers take care of blocking random spam, just to be able to offer a decent service availability? Would anything that's planned for near future be able to handle all of it? UWB of course, but that's not gonna happen anything soon:)

They are caused by different viruses, both with several subtypes.
The influenza types usually have much more severe symptoms than parainfluenza.
Speed of light was proven to be a myth. Not interested?
Get it?
No. :)
If you replace the daemon binary then wouldn't it make sense to replace a few client binaries as well?

A little more than what's needed in this case - these things are autonomous for 400 days or 5000 images.

So what your saying is: "In the former Soviet Union, power lines kill YOU!"
;)
No, but it seems that YOU have "a saying" like that
by 2006 they have to change the "FX" name because it's sooo out of fashion :)
