to reduce power and make energy efficient servers; they have so many of them after all.
These guys, while formerly PA Semi, focused their new business on energy-efficient server CPU's.
Yeah, Google has to realize their trends and that they can't cover the entire Earth's landmass with servers or they'll have nowhere for their customers to live.
There was some talk about a packet-processing oriented CPU that would be less general-purpose, but better suited to Internet-style workloads. Maybe get a 30:1 improvement and not have to keep building data centers for a few years.
because you can't leave by the back stairs anymore.
It looks like they could be drilled out with a cordless drill easily enough. Actually, if somebody was thinking of doing this and escaping, they probably would have been inclined to just blow the door instead of just lowering it with one of these devices attached.
This seems like a knee-jerk reaction that worsened safety, clever engineering aside.
Can these be filtered? I'm thinking of a pantyhose-like bonnet on the jet for flying through the ash cloud at low-throttle. Maybe they could be dumped once through the cloud with a clever application of throttle and tension (like they're under tension from the side and they pop off when the jet throttles down). If they could avoid sucking the whole mess through the engine, that is.
Then you died. You know thousands of people face-to-face by name, who'd like to know that you're no longer around.
I was recently involved in a funeral where the death notice cost about $1200 for a few days' publication, for something like 500 words. About 120 people showed up to the funeral, so your acquisition cost is about $10.
It's cold all-around, but a well-attended funeral is very significant for a family, so the market charges what it can afford.
It only notices the locals, though. An old friend of mine died last year and by time somebody thought to get access to his Facebook account, there really wasn't enough time to make a 300-mile trip for a funeral.
Facebook is OK, though, for friends' family members. But not everybody is on Facebook and there's not yet a suitable way to codify one's complete social network and get alerts on it.
I've always found if I need to get through a monotonous task that turning on some music or talk radio helps me focus. My parents in high school thought I was full of crap to put on some Tull records to study history, but I still do it today when I have a deadline (less Tull, more Free Talk Live). Not having the distraction opens me up to all kinds of "ooh, shiny" weakness.
So, I wonder if somehow one of my two task slots needs to get filled up so the other one can get the work done. I probably have some weakness in sticking tasks to a particular slot or something like that, or perhaps they bounce back and forth causing some opportunity for leakage (I know, stretching the metaphor). I try to resist the term 'ADD' because I can concentrate like hell at times, but 'leaky task slots' feels right.
There's a difference between certain dress-wearing lawyers saying thoughtcrime is a crime and thoughcrime actually being a crime. It's the mala in se vs. mala prohibita argument.
Even if it costs them a little bit of money. Because whatever it costs them is likely cheaper than the headaches of having to support multiple formats.
Cheaper for the producers. But are you going to provide content to the users of the $85 netbooks which don't come with an MPEG-LA license because they're more expensive than the entire margin on the product? If not, is it really cheaper?
For geeks there is Android. For everyone else, there's the iPhone. And there are a lot more everyone elses...
Let's check back on this in two years. All the regular (non-geek) girls I know are getting Droids on Verizon. OK, one just got a Blackberry and hates it.
I'm skeptical mainly because anybody can have genes from anywhere, especially if they are multi-racial. If this idea would work on an individual of mixed race then I would take it more seriously.
They're finding that sometimes one study contradicts another due to unintended genotype clusters. Medicine based on the results of DNA sequencing of one's genome is the forefront of medicine. Using phenotypical race to very coarsely approach that has some marginal benefit, though as you point out it's fraught with error.
You do realize that "services" don't really make anything, right?
Sure they do. Unless you expect a broken combine to harvest a field or an iPod to get made without any engineering. Designing and maintaining are just as essential as assembling and shipping.
Unless the market is broken it won't support useless activities.
So if they clicked an ad and entered their e-mail address to get thirty thousand acres in farmwars by putting in their e-mail and checking a box that they understand... where was the failure there?
Probably in our lack of providing an easy opt-opt standard protocol that mailers could implement.
Many people use the 'Junk' button to mean 'Trash'. Which IT guys take as a considered decision and feed back into spam reporting databases, which gets people on RBL's.
If we gave them a 'stop this kind of mail' (glued to an unsubscribe protocol and filtering) button things would be somewhat better.
I don't follow. If you're not going to leak the keys, what's the point of leaking the video?
Presumably because they knew it could be brute-forced? There may be a technicality in the clearance of the encrypted blob vs. the decrypted blob that carries less jailtime.
Funny, because it would be a defence for a real person, or would at least be mitigating circumstances that would change the nature of the sentence if found guilty (insane people are generally committed to secure hospitals and treated, rather than prison).
Sure, if you're a magistrate. Everybody else would just stop doing business with the person and possibly ostracise him.

The silica particles are extremely fine. They are invisible to the naked eye.
Ah, nasty. Thanks for the clarification.

The technology is really the side issue - it's individualism vs. corporatism.

It seems inevitable, though.
this new iPhone - if it indeed is an iPhone - reminds me more of Sony's designs from the early 1980's
It reminds me strongly of the Nokia n810 from late 2008 - heck, the frame and buttons could be off the same assembly line.
Except without a real keyboard...

They have zero interest in actually shutting them down.
Maybe if you flood-ping the offending IP from your attacked PBX their automated IDS will blackhole your IP.
Now, why do we never get such multiple confirmations of UFOs ?

There was plenty of notice -- The fact that many of us weren't on the clamav-announce list is OUR fault, not theirs.
It would be nice if package managers integrated this for the sysadmin. Maybe the output of chkconfig could be consulted.
Who are "they"?
The people some think shouldn't be working in Chinese factories. Relativism vs. absolutism.
Why support a codec that was state of the art in 2000?
Cheap devices can handle the CPU load. Fancy devices will have h.264 and an MPEG-LA license to use it.
Even if it costs them a little bit of money. Because whatever it costs them is likely cheaper than the headaches of having to support multiple formats.

In fact, if anything, it's rather racist towards Americans (more as culture rather than ethnicity) themselves.
Sounds more like tribalism?

They can have it once we finally ship off the laissez-faire theory to 1800s where it belongs.
Is this the "they should go back to their farm fields and rice patties (or destitute poverty)" argument?

Cringely was on about this a year ago - Oracle needs Sun hardware to scale.
Go go ahead and GPL ZFS, guys.
Encrypted document: Classified Secret.
Encryption keys: Classified Top Secret, Crypto.
There is a big difference between those two things.
Where do the two fall on the jail-time scale?
I don't follow. If you're not going to leak the keys, what's the point of leaking the video?

Couldn't be that a company as large as IBM might have multiple departments/divisions that don't really know what the other is doing.
It's likely yet it absolves them of nothing - you live by the sword, you die by the sword.
Corporations want to be people, remember? So, if they're being an ass, multiple-personality-disorder isn't a defense.
