Google is also up to what, like 10000+ nodes?
I'm also pretty sure they're not using ide drives for their web cache/serach/et. al, but merely for the acutal bootup of their nodes. In that case the difference between SCSI and IDE are negligible. Their main cache, however, is more than likely a vast RAID/FC array.
i dont think that UT2003 could easily be turned into a math game
Sure it could, or at least highschool physics. Your opponent is running across the screen at rate A, X feet away from you, and you are turning at rate B and have a forward velocity of B and upwards velocity of Y and downward acceleration of Q, knowing your rocket launcher fires with a n millisecond latency and the speed of the rocket is Z, at what trajectory do you have to fire your rocket to hit your opponent?
Seems much more complex than the simple ballistics/projectile motion we did in gr.12 physics.
so in this case if the site gets terminally slashdotted, is it a zerg rush?
Only if we were all using 9600 baud modems...
This seems more like my fave tactic... the carrier rush
There's nothing like seeing 36 carriers each armed with 8 interceptors trawling across the screen in search of their next target...
add on another 6-9 monthes to work out the bugs (typical Blizzard style)
Thats where your argument falls apart.
Although with PC games a software company can release patches to their hearts content, on a console the rules change drastically. One can no longer release a patch, without sending a new game CD (DVD/GD/Proprietary MiniDisc) to each and every person that bought the game, which really isn't a viable solution.
If Blizzard is going to get this right, they are going to have to get it right the first time.
Although Warcraft 3 is (seemingly, at least from my perspective) without bugs, and this is a first for Blizzard, I don't think they can pull it off in a year...
Don't get me wrong, I still can't wait to play it... but right now I'm only concerned about GTA3: Vice City (due for release in the next month or so)
Well considering a lot of the drugs that fall under the 'controlled substance' category used to be recommended by doctors, I'm guessing a lot.
Cocaine was a cure-all up until the late 1800s, PCP and ketamine were used as anaesthetics until the 60s/70s.
Morphine is still widely prescribed, and I'm pretty sure the doctors don't know too much about it except that its really addictive and it really works (until you develop a tolerance, as is the case with any drug).
Hell, even ritalyn is still widely used, and considering it affects everyone differently (could be an upper, could be a downer, who knows until you try it right?)
I'm guessing many of the original drugs currently on the North American market are only there today because of something akin to a 'grandfather clause'.
I'm sure if it had gone through the 'rigorous' testing todays pharmaceutical companies had to go through to get a drug past the FDA, it would not have made it.
Bear in mind I am not a pharmaceutical chemist and this post did not come out of any textbooks, instead from various sources (some you may feel are questionable) like Discovery channel and my own research into some of the things I have taken over the years. If I'm wrong, correct me so I don't make the same mistake again.
That all depends on what you're sending the light through.
Sure, the speed of light in a vaccuum may be 186282.4 mi/s (I'm not sure myself and am too lazy to look it up), but the speed of light in water, lucite, glass, even air, are different than that of light in a vaccuum.
By its very definition (and the base for the word) the only oxidizer is oxygen. Many compounds containing oxygen (such as water) are also oxidizers, but that is merely because of the oxygen in it.
Chlorine gas has no oxygen in its purest form, and therefore is not an oxidizer.

After which the R2 unit will respons with "I'm on the motherfucker, the shit is under control, I will be sending the wookie directly"
I'm the same way... I may just be lucky though, as I am only 21 and have been in the same job since I got out of school 18 months ago.
But basically yeah, My bosses all work insane hours... I work approx 45-50, but will work more when its required to make a deadline. When I get tired though, I go home and my bosses know that.
15 hours a day though? I dont think this guys ever gonna get properly reimbursed for that...
No, it's only "Americans" to those of you in the US.
To the rest of the world (including much of Canada, where I'm from) it's USians.
I am (North) American, people in Brazil are (South) American. I, for one, don't appreciate being forced onto the same level as you just because I live on the same land mass as you.
And yeah, I can see how the metric system may be difficult for you, I've always found base 10 systems difficult myself. All that adding a zero or removing a zero just to go up/down (respectively) in an order of magnitude is so confusing.
5280 ft/mile is so much easier than 1000 metres/kilometre...
To all you morons complaining (in almost every thread currently) that sq/km is not a measurement of area, you're right.
The problem is (and i've seen 4 of these already) that you're defining it as a count of something per unit of area.
A km is NOT a unit of area measurement, it is a unit of linear measurement... Single mono-dimensional geometry here people. I know you USians have trouble with the metric system, but c'mon... not being able to tell the difference between a square kilometre and a kilometre is like not being able to tell the difference between an mile and a sqaure mile.
Quit complaining when you can't even get it right...
PS. I may have spelled kilometre wrong, depending on which spelling of the word you use (i.e. kilometer)
Since, with the current state of nuclear weapons, this would leave a lot of radiation at the lauch pad (and that would be a Bad(tm) thing), it pretty much puts it out of a terrestrial lauch.
However, if we use a small rocket to get the craft up to a sufficient velocity, throw on a scramjet to lift it into orbit (i know i know, you need at least mach8 to leave the atmosphere, but we're still on the preliminay tests, right?).
Then all we need to do is throw one of these Orion engines on the craft as well for propulsion in the vaccuum of space, and we're good to go, right?
It's just one in a very long list of failures of Sony in the US, along with 8mm, Memory Sticks, and MD
1. Memory sticks are widely used in a variety of digital cameras.
2. Ever since Napster Sony ramped up its MD campaign in america and theyr actually quickly gaining popularity. I know a lot of people who have them
Based on what I've seen in the market, there's a high demand for people with 10+ years of Java experience. But you usually also need about 20 years of VB experience in OS development.
I laugh at these postingsin the paper and on online job boards, as should many of you (yes they actually do exist, and are quite common)
These are usually the companies that also require you to have A+ and an MCSE/MCSA cert.
