I just thought of a fun countermeasure to non-RAM stealth, fire a volley of missles with radar and have them coordinate to reconstruct the targets location from the various scatter signatures they collectively receive. It's kind of an outgrowth of the Serb tactic of using the cellphone towers as passive receivers for their air defense network. It would obviously be vulnerable to ECM, but if you are putting out enough power for effective ECM you're no longer stealth to HARM style systems.
Lockheed CAN'T sell anyone else F-22's, it's illegal. Part of playing the defense contractor game is the government gets to tell you what you can and can't sell to others and the F-22 has been deemed too advanced to sell to anyone else.
Uh, many places. DSL has serious distance limitations. I'm ~28k feet from the CO which means DSL is 144Kbps max, not exactly a competitor to my 10/1Mbps cable.
No, it means there will be THE cable company, kind of like Ma Bell was THE phone company. This is just setting TV up for a repeat of the Clearchannel effect.
I think you mean more like 3,000W/m^2 and even that is kind of low for a modern datacenter. A rack is only ~.65m^2 so even with aisle space being equal to rack space that's only 4kW per rack.
Highly unlikely. Some of the most fun I have had has been with mods of D1 and D2. Blizzard makes a cool engine and then throws in content that eventually becomes stale, so to prolong the enjoyment I play all the cool mods the community can come up with. Some are fantastic, some are meh, but all are new experiences so they are at least fun for a while.
8GB/s (PCIe 2.0 x16) per connector is a hell of a lot. Dual connector FCoE adapters are about the biggest bandwidth users in most servers today and that's only 2GB/s. For servers the big thing will probably be to reduce the number of PCIe busses due to getting sufficient bandwidth out of an x4 connector, but it comes at the cost of much more expensive silicon and motherboard design. Not only that but I like distributing load among multiple busses as it reduces the havoc that one misbehaving device can cause.
Well yeah, the Ford's powerplant is huge because they expect to be powering directed energy and/or railgun weapons during the design life of the class. However the capacity of the Enerprise is significantly more than the Nimitz class according to the specs I have seen.
The military isn't going to run out of oil anytime soon due to embargo (they have ~710M barrels in the SPR), but in a hotzone they could run out without a resupply group being able to get to them in time.
Exactly, it removes one of the biggest and most vulnerable pieces of the supply chain to a carrier group, fuelers for the aircraft. If this becomes a reality soon I think good old CVN-65 (Enterprise) may get a reprieve from retirement. There's nothing quite like the spare capacity in those 8 reactors to power something like this =)
The first comment is actually how 100Gb ethernet works, boding 10x10Gb or 4x25Gb ethernet channels (the latter is a new standard to keep the fiber count low for WAN type applications).
That's what dynamic DNS and a sane subnet scheme is for. Ping the machine name and get the subnet then you can easily locate it to a physical port through mac-address-table. If they can't even get on the network they should be able to tell you where they are.
We do (WS|LP|MAC)_machineserial where WS is Workstation LP is laptop, and MAC is well MAC machines. Then we use Landesk to gather current user and software configuration.
Can we please find a secure way of using direct debit, so we can cut the credit-card companies out of the loop?
Uh, no thanks. The couple percent the CC companies charge is small insurance to make sure that joes website is not able to go in and clear out my checking and/or savings accounts. Unless you are going to go with something like one time card numbers with set transaction limits which is too difficult for most people to grasp.
What?!? The standard always comes before the hardware, DX11 is an API and a (defacto) standard. We could go back to the OpenGL model with ARB extensions for new features that are implemented differently by each party until the standard catches up, but that was tough on everyone. It was tough on the hardware guys because they inevitably implemented features that didn't make it into the standard, it was hard on the standards body because they had to arbitrate between the different implementations to pick a winner, and it was hard on the software guys because they had to support the whole mess. It's a primary reason that DX won over OpenGL in the marketplace.
Very little IP is like the formula for Coke, if it's valuable it's probably being used and modified on a daily basis. IP that changes like that needs to be backed up, offsited, secured, etc. This is all things that an IT department exists to enable for the business. Not only that but as the GP mentioned it's not like IT is the only people who have access to your IP, anyone who is working on it is going to need access to it and few ideas can be modularized to the point where a single leak is insignificant. The only way a business can really protect itself is to hire good people and provide them with enough incentive that they don't want to trade your IP to someone else.
As far as the poster is concerned, if you are that paranoid learn how to operate your firewall and lock them out when they are not specifically working a ticket, or have a different third party manage the firewall. Have the consultant do their work through something like Webex where the session can be recorded for review, that way you can checkup on them without having to sit there in real time and watch. Personally I wouldn't work for you as an employee or a consultant, but for enough money you will probably find someone willing to placate your sociopathy.
Peak unemployment during the Great Depression was ~25% in the US, if we ever got to 40% we are looking at a total end to civilized society. Luckily we aren't going to get anywhere near either number, most likely peak is between 12.5 and 15 percent nationwide with some pocketed areas going as high as ~25% (Baraga county MI is already there).
The whole thing is stupid, FICA taxes are a small percentage of the total cost of hiring and training an employee. A business that is focused on something that small is not one I would want to work for. In fact I would say that it is definitely a false savings as it is likely that you would have to spend quite a bit to get this employees H1B through the government machine or else they would have to leave the country when their student visa expires thus losing the very significant investment made in training them.
Because it's between $100 and $500 which is probably the high end for most PC class processors. Intel has the Core2Duo at the low end, the Core2Quad and the low end Core i7 in the midrange and the faster Core i7 at the high end with a few enthusiast offering at the extremely high end (~$1000). That's basically been the market as long as I can remember which dates back to the early 90's.
Is there some reason that they couldn't have taken some of the work from Eiffel on design by contract and used it for C++0x? Eiffel already compiles to C on its way to object code so I would assume that all of the Eiffel framework stuff could be made to work in C++. Once you've programmed in a design by contract language you really miss it because almost all of the stupid class of bugs go away because they get flagged at compile time.
Here's mine:
RECENT STORIES
* Demonstrators protest possible closing of Summa hospital - 8.6
* Feeding time a frenzy for piglet litter of 11 - 8.6
* New Medina police chiefâ(TM)s arrival pushed back - 8.6
* Brunswick FD asks Sutton for funding help from feds - 8.6
So we have: local impact, human interest, local impact, local impact.
Are those the most pressing stories? Other than the hospital closing, probably not. Do they respresent the kind of local government focused reporting I was talking about, I would say so.
Advertising and skewing search results are two VERY different things. Altering search results to your corporate whims makes your search engine useless IMHO, and the opinions of a lot of other people. That's what made Google so popular initially, their blind algorithm gave the 'best' results regardless of source or view.

Yes, and 300W/ft^2 = 3,230W/m^2. Units are important people =)

You can buy 2008 and newer model year diesels in all those states, thanks to ULSD modern turbodiesels are 50 state certified.
