When you hit F11, you'll see a Print Screen you'll see a 'Capture Mode' pop-up menu that you can change to just grab a window under cursor after n seconds.
Facebook added to memcache the ability to use UDP instead of TCP...That's the kind of problems/scale they deal with, I'm surprised PHP wasn't their biggest bottleneck before
They also did [mumble] to the memcache logger so that it wasn't a bottleneck anymore. I'm told they were able to get rid of 60 logging servers with their fix.
It's a reasonable engineering approach to first work on the stuff that can't be fixed by throwing obscene amounts of hardware at it, then fix the stuff that can.
Ah... thanks, I get it now. If I'd known that I would have reported to them that Chrome won't launch on linux x86_64!:) Ah, hell, the Fedora build isn't working either (but at least there's a -debuginfo).
Google is smart enough to know that every product has bugs, and is just giving an incentive for people to find them (or more likely, for the finders to report them.)
If it turns out that they're using this as simply a distributed contract labor mechanism, that will be great. My suspicion is that it wind up in slide shows and marketing materials, but I'll be happy to be proven wrong on that.
I swear, it seems Google bucks every bad trend in the software/IT industry.
Here's Bruce Schneier pointing out the problems with such strategies in 1998. Point #3 is probably most salient in this case, but Chromium isn't open source, so the first two are still valid.
And you can re-use those old Ms. Pac-Man tables from 80's cocktail lounges for the cabinets.:)
Really, though, with the touch resolution required for a board game, most of the reject touch surfaces could be used. Create a per-unit defect map before shipping and just ignore those areas.
If there were actually a market for such things, which there probably isn't.
Soon after that: "We're jacking up premiums. But don't worry, since many of our customers are wearing 24/7 monitors, they'll cancel out anyway. Don't regulate us!"
You realize the insurance companies are making about a hundred bucks a year per subscriber, right?
That "jacking up premiums" is a function of the cost of healthcare (which is a broken market thanks to government meddling).
but you had better hope that before you don't run out of old Soviet nukes to burn, either India cracks Thorium or ITER finds some way to keep commerical fusion reactors fed with Tritium.
You've heard of Yuca Mountain, right? Our light-water reactors have created so much hot nuclear waste that we have enough fuel we need to dispose of that we could power all of the projected power needs of the Earth's population for 100 years - just by getting rid of our waste.
We built the reactor (IFR) to do this c. 1990. Clinton defunded it with one of his first executive orders and Gore/Kerry lead the fight to kill it the next year.
NASA (and ESA) satellites have been in orbit for decades, so if the current scientific consensus were radically wrong we would've spotted it by now. Furthermore, if geoengineering on any scale is feasible, its not a ready technology.
Well, if you believe that side, the data has been heavily cherry-picked and entire datasets ignored. Besides, science is always in flux, especially when predictive models have had an opportunity to prove or falsify themselves.
Reducing emissions is required, otherwise we could well end up spending so much energy mitigating the effects of AGW it would've been more economical to reduce the emissions.
Again, the question is how much emissions can you reduce, and how much of a temperature impact does that have? If the first part is significant but the second insignificant, have you gained anything, or does it make more sense to build dikes? I wouldn't bet against clean power happening eventually, so it's a short-term calculation. And if you hurt energy science by striking a blow to GDP, that just pushes out the equilibrium date further.
Did you just suggest people who agree with the scientific consensus on climate change "can't add"? I'm surprised someone who hates science so much would support NASA
No, of course not, this no longer has anything to do with science, which is what is so often missed. At this point the debate is entirely about economics and politics and resultant courses of action.
There's one simple question to ask, "how much CO2 decrease is needed to decrease AGW by 1 degree C?" If you run the numbers, it's about 2T-tons of CO2. If you then run the amount of CO2 produced by human economies, it runs out that we're talking about 20 years of economic inactivity to impact 1 degree C, and the IPCC is forecasting 3.5 degrees this century. So, to mitigate AGW, you have to take incredibly drastic steps to squash economies or invent free clean power. And that's not even counting the less developed nations who will continue to increase their populations (and thus CO2 output) prodigiously if their standards of living aren't improved. To adapt to AGW is far more economical (feasible, even), and this is the political power struggle currently being played out (Kyoto, Copenhagen, "Captain Trade", etc.).
Reasonable approaches only appear to include safe nuclear power or dealing with the consequences of AGW. Heck, you can get the bumper sticker if you want.
Of course, if those NASA satellites show that the high-CO2-sensitivity model upon which most of the science is predicated don't turn up the expected results, then perhaps the whole matter is up for revision.
What you need is to make sane fucking laws, not apply laws from before the wheel to the age of the internet.
Close, but the assumption that a sitting government can make laws that can keep pace with an economy (and by proxy technology) was rejected well over 800 years ago.
It never worked, it doesn't work, it never will work. Non-crazy people stop trying things that don't work.
And someone will create a Firefox Plugin in a few days that will randomize the variables being reported back, thus invalidating this.
There are still many unique variables for a given HTTP connection, even if only looking at the times and orders of connection requests. Not to mention cache effects or URL tracking tricks.
You can be anonymous but you can't be ambiguous, if you use sites which use data mining techniques to identify their visitors (and you don't know who those are).
With the Shuttle put to bed, and now Constellation, NASA is done. Yeah, maybe a few robot probes will go out, but that's not what people get excited about (and are thus willing to fund). If it's not welfare or war, it's up for cancellation with this government. The global warming crowd will still get some funding since that's still seen as a viable power grab (not enough people can add, apparently) but that can't last. It seems the commercial launchers will handle what the Air Force can't for government satellite needs.
So, does an aspiring American rocket scientist try to find work in China or hope to get one of the few jobs with Space X, Scaled Composites, or Virgin Galactic?
Amazing - the one government program even Penn & Teller can't bring themselves to hate is the first to fall. Ah, well, competitive forces at play.
I have no doubt eventually keys will be extracted, and the thing will be hacked based on this hack here, but, until that happens, Sony's still winning.
And production costs should be below sales costs by then, so Sony will continue to win. Kudos to the Sony security team for developing a sufficiently secure system to support the business model.

Yes, I'm still a noob at this
When you hit F11, you'll see a Print Screen you'll see a 'Capture Mode' pop-up menu that you can change to just grab a window under cursor after n seconds.
Obvious AND trivial math error. It's a 50% increase.
The error is yours. $10 X 1.50 = $15.
It's one of:
150% of the original cost.
An increase to 150% of the original cost.
An increase of 50% over the original cost.
In the last case, the base cost is presumed and the increase is the delta.
'1.5x' is perhaps the most salient.
He's so nerdy you have to talk to him about basketball with references to graph theory.
I suppose we'll find out from the README in a couple days anyway, that might be easier.

Really, though, I think the lesson to be learned here is that Steve's old liver was the source of his RDF. It's clearly no longer in effect.

It'll only be available for purchase during the gibbous moon.

Nice. Too bad the developer's site has gone to the squatters.
