I know some domains are simply not available. Because the squatters who nabbed them do not want to be identified.
I used to have a website at gfody.com and I forgot to renew the domain on time and the very next day it was hosting some generic link-page with ads - it was even feigning relevance by including links to search results from keywords in the referrer. For instance my site was about graphics programming and delphi. When you went to gfody.com there would be links to delphi and other graphics related sites with ads displayed next to them.
I tried desperately to get my domain back but to no avail. If you're curious go ahead and try to figure out who owns gfody.com - it's a goose chase strung through various fake corporations.
If you have a real SAN sure, IO performance is probably not your problem. If not then you might just try to use a sparse-file virtual hard disk and experience incredibly bad IO performance. My experience is really only with VirtualBox where the virtual disk is the only thing available in the UI and setting up direct disk access is advanced, text-based config - I'm not sure if it's like this with ESX - but I think it would be nice if instead of that whole virtual hard disk crap if the VM host was also a SAN server for your VMs and you just always use SAN.
Most of the performance issues and I think also the issue faced in TFA have to do with IO performance when using virtual hard drives especially of the sparse-file, auto-growing variety. If they would configure their VMs to have direct access to a dedicated volume they would probably get their 10x performance back in DB applications.
It would be nice to see some sort of virtual SAN integrated into the VMs
As far as AI goes, the validity of computers as life forms has been successfully argued up the wazoo, but I will always stubbornly believe that computers will never have true individual consciousness as biological organisms do.
Maybe if you'd had some betterreadingmaterial than "is Data human?" you'd believe that computers will eventually host full-blown consciousnesses.
Seriously! And it's not like we're used to seeing images right under the summary text like that.. so there's a big friggin creepy spider right there FFS!
I worked with a retired mechanical engineer in his 70's who was designing racing clutches for gokarts in pro/E. He'd taught himself x86 assembler cracking shareware applications for fun. Sharp as a whip - he's why I know in my heart that the whole "smartness falls off at 27" study is a load of bullshit.
what about shanghai opterons which can be had for $179 and work in dual socket mobos? I wonder where a pair of shanghai's would fall on their scatter chart..
Why am I running as a user with privileges to run applications? Why don't I rely on anti-virus software to know what's safe and what isn't? If I'm concerned with security why am I using a computer?
You forgot the part where the under-aged girl starts crying rape because it's so much easier than taking responsibility for the fake ID, drinking, cheating, etc. Now it's your word against her's and why would the jury believe someone who fucks kids? You think she's gonna show up in court looking anything like she did that night in the club? You won't even recognize her in the little girl costume the DA dresses her up in (probably even with pigtails). Good luck with that defense though!
You think a bus driver makes $60,000 a year? From salary.com:
The median expected salary for a typical Bus Driver in the United States is $18,234. This basic market pricing report was prepared using our Certified Compensation Professionals' analysis of survey data collected from thousands of HR departments at employers of all sizes, industries and geographies.
That's pretty much what I see when I see open brace immediately trailing an if or else. I prefer open braces to line up with their corresponding close braces.

except if the artificial intelligence is human-level then it will probably still get fed up with you

It seems they're trying to better their odds this year by only allowing the code to be seen by visitors using IE

I'm not sure even I'M quite that cynical.
Are you sure you're not actually a carebear?
what you're asking for is pretty much already that easy
foreach(Thing in Things)
new Thread(Thing.DoStuff);
IF is the new GOTO
MapReduce isn't something invented by Google. It's a design pattern.
Mod up the sanity!
This isn't an overclocking issue, its a designed flaw by Intel.
Fixed that for ya
Is there any doubt that our elections are bullshit? Have you looked at how stupid this is?
I think I spend at least 25% of my personal online time doing work-related activities so it all evens out.

From salary.com:
if vertical space is the issue, how about:
if(something_is_true){do_something(); do_one_more_thing();}else{do_something_else();}

I think it's more likely that casinos have 0% slots. The slot machine never ever pays out. This of course doesn't dissuade your average gambler.
