I believe I drowned once when I was young, and I don't remember it being an unpleasant experience. I just remember looking up at the pretty light show of the sun shining through water and then my dad's arm grabbing me and a lot of coughing. In my teens I swam competitively for something like 8 years, but never really tried breathing water again. At this point I think it would be unpleasant since my body now realizes that breathing water is bad.
Naturally my mother was never told of this incident to protect my fathers continued existence, so the specifics are lost to posterity.
I can verify this. I've seen people put MMO/Guild Master on their resume. We laugh at them. And as a guild member and a leader in the corporate world I can tell you that while there may be parallels, the one in no way prepares you for the other.
Don't put it on your resume. Don't talk about gaming in interviews. Even as a gamer I wouldn't hire you. Why? I know from personal experience 99.999% of WoW players are morons and whiners who stand in fire and cry about gearscore and dps charts, so statistically you would probably be a terrible employee.
I also work currently on systems that use the avionics side common data network for the 787. And this thread has got it right, we try very hard to make accidents as unlikely as possible including malicious "accidents". I can tell you that this situation has been very very very closely examined and documented and justified for both the OEM (boeing) and the FAA. How would the pilot know about, for example, a failure in the lighting system in the cabin if there was no data path to report the failure?? These issues are so analyzed and re-analyzed that honestly I'm sick of thinking about them, but every new airplane the same arguments come up again and again.. and it all has to be re-justified to the FAA in a new context. But that's just how it is in the air-transport market.
There's far more to be worried about on the air traffic side IMO, and there's nothing new or interesting to me in this article. So move along nothing to see here:)
From the description of Time Michine on apples site, it looks like it requires an external drive on which all the backup data is stored. I would infer from this that ZFS would only be used on the backup drive. This way they get all the snapshot tricks from ZFS without needing to implement it for boot/root in their kernel. Seems pretty smart to me, most of the benefit without any real hard work:)
> A Space Shuttle launch today costs about 200 to 500 million..
pfff with the prices of Hulks on the market these days, a Space Shuttle with t2 strippers seems like a bargin. Course you'd have to find someone with a bpo..
I'm really amazed that any company tests every stick of ram. It would seem much smarter to use statistical checking like they do in other mass production markets. Ok so maybe a few bad sticks will get through, but lots get through anyway. Even with big name brands like Kingston.
I'll take the 1% savings for a 10 minute waste of time every 6 months. I'll end up way ahead that way. Good for these guys.
> But what if they have special FBI antennas? Made from FBI pringles cans?
That's a good point. The only thing I got out of this is mildly annoyed. This prez is one what the lug group in town gives nearly every year. They should pay the lug kids six figures to give these. Meanwhile the big $$ men could be looking for those wmds.
> anyone see any weaknesses with this idea?
Ya, it's really long. People here don't like solutions that arn't short, simple, and funny.
I even have trouble keeping more than two paragraphs in my head all at the same time.
Thats funny, but what I'd really like to see is a processor that can be fed some sort of arch deffinition, and then act like a certain processor to be compatable with existing systems. I want to be able to set my bios for i686 for development and then switch to G4 for graphic design. Then I would finally get to play around with osx;)

Windows/Gates/Microsoft is not the enemy. Ignorance is the enemy, and most of us know all about that. If everyone was educated in the values of open source software then MS would just vanish, unless they came up with a better idea. And that is what open source is all about.

Has anyone know if any previous beta has worked on virtual box?

When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.
The actual avionics side network used is ARINC 664 or AFDX.

Take a look at Transcode by Dr. Thomas Östreich. I use it for any number of video stream tricks, including what you describe here. http://www.Theorie.Physik.UNI-Goettingen.DE/~ostre ich/transcode/
