As someone who had to work with the uaw idiots as a non-union outside contractor let me tell you that most of the characterization of the union is an understatement. I had to come back to one plant 4 times before I could get a union electrician to come watch me install a couple racks of equipment because nothing could be plugged into an electric outlet without an electrician present. Then when we finally did get things plugged in the UPS's refused to run because the power was so messed up. He said yeah we know that transformer is messed up, and walked away. So a half million in equipment is afaik still sitting unpowered in racks in that data room because the electrician who couldn't be bothered to meet me for 4 scheduled appointments also couldn't be bothered to fix the power in the building.
I'd like to know what networking equipment he's working with that has 1MB buffers because on Cisco 12000 the entire line card has a max of 1MB of buffer and if you think a single stream is seeing that I have news for you, it's not. In fact the behavior is 2x MTU so no more than 3KB. I wonder if the buffer isn't actually in software on each end of the connection?
Yeah, it's also why I set my MTU in my bittorrent client to 576 bytes instead of the normal 1500, I get 3x less jitter for my VoIP adapter which makes voice quality much better.
They move completely totaled vehicles all the time, a little bit of friction isn't going to stop a big winch and the guys parting them out don't care if one piece is broken.
Exactly, the people capable of this are able to get jobs that pay much better than stealing cars and there won't be easy to use tools for the idiot thieves to use because simply selling criminal tools is a crime, again keeping the skilled people out of the market.
Why? Mechanical locks are just as vulnerable if not more vulnerable so why put up with the inconvenience? Heck thieves have been known to use flatbed wreckers to haul off cars to take them to a chop shop, disabling your keyless entry certainly isn't going to stop that!
The fact that she's not searching for an actual cure but instead spending her time and money beating the drum against vaccines based on data that's been disproved for a long time? Even if she *wants* to help her child she's certainly not *actually* helping her child with her actions and in fact is harming other peoples children by exposing them to preventable diseases.
We use Xerox MFP's, we have dozens of them and some see upwards of a half million pages a year. From what I could find on the web they had a 28% marketshare at the end of 2005 in the MFP space (which is where most commercial copiers are since a fixed function copier makes almost zero sense for most businesses). More recent 2008-2H2010 numbers show similar numbers based on units shipped.
Shipping containers are interesting in all sorts of cases like putting up a datacenter quickly in a warehouse in an industrial park anywhere in the world. The military also loves them because they can easily be transported by sea or cargo lifter.
Yeah but real studies show with modern AC at some point you use more power spinning fans and on lost PSU efficiency than you save by raising the temperature.
Old IBM mainframes also needed to cooled fairly aggressively.
We keep ours at a cold side target of 72, we could go higher but having a bit of a buffer before things go tits up if both AC systems short cycle during a power outage is a good thing IMHO, especially since off hours our response time can be over an hour from first page to someone being onsite.
Yep, for them technology reduces the cost per compute unit fast enough that the fact that they wear out faster is inconsequential and losing any given node is meaningless so a slightly higher failure rate is completely acceptable. It's the same reason Google can run with SATA drives without RAID, they take care of those concerns at a higher level. For those of us using software without builtin failover we can't really do this. Though if VMWare FT comes a bit farther it might be possible soon (though I'd still want my storage in a conditioned space even if the hosts weren't).
Oh, never bothered to get one until the iPod 5GB came out =)
Of course I'd never get one now since my phone plays them just as well and you need itunes to load songs (what a piece of crap).
Winamp's been around about as long as mp3 on the PC and it's always defaulted to track number as far as I can recall, certainly it always played playlists in order.

Nope, my client has the option to set MTU, it artificially limits the packet size to what is set.

So they are going to steal from the HFT's that are already performing a salami attack on the broader market, I'm not sure I see a problem here....

Thanks for playing, now go spread your anti-science derp elsewhere, this is a site for adults with a brain.
Thanks to Jenny McCarthy and others of her ilk some large percentage of the unwashed masses now have it fixed in their brain that vaccination=autism.

The actor who played the previous Dr is marrying his onscreen daughter which is actually the IRL daughter of the actor that played the 5th Dr.
30% of revenue is almost free to you?!? You're either in a business with *really* high margins or you've never run a business.
Yes, it's called Adobe AIR, not that I've ever seen it used for a Flash game (unless that's how the desktop version of Bejeweled works).

Good artists still do albums, Tale of God's Will a requiem for Katrina by Terence Blanchard is a great example I picked up this year =)

Wikipedia for *medical* information, you have GOT to be shitting me. Try WebMD, at least there the information has been vetted.
