How is this relevant? Using X11 directly is horrible pain (= nobody will want to make any software for it), and the performance hit for using Qt/Gtk is nearly nil (and looks much nicer, at that).
They've even updated it since then with more specificity: "You may organize or delete your messages through your Gmail account or terminate your account through the Google Account section of Gmail settings. Such deletions or terminations will take immediate effect in your account view. Residual copies of deleted messages and accounts may take up to 60 days to be deleted from our active servers and may remain in our offline backup systems."
Nothing's stopping you from still using Xen. That said, I think perhaps a better direction is to just integrate this technology into Xen where it belongs (you'll still not be able to run windows as a guest on old machines, but it'd help remove duplicated work).

The Case for OpenID
·
· Score: 1
What you're suggesting here is something that can be achieved by openid - simply have the government run an OpenID server. I certainly don't want to lose the ability to be pseudonymous online, but I can see other people wanting to assert their true identity. By having a government-backed authentication server, everyone can have their own way.
The indices don't actually store the 'real' copy of the data - that's in the table. The index is just a fast lookup method. Rebuilding the index from the original data in the table is, of course, simple (an ALTER TABLE statement as the story says) but it takes quite a while as it requires a sort of the entire table.
One of the annoying things about the new firefox interface is you can't have as many tabs in the bar at once anymore. Sure, it has a scrolling interface, but I liked the sort of spatial representation of the old system. Is there a way to change the minimum size of the tab headers in the new firefox?
Probably because they don't have it ported internally yet. I've heard that their JIT is designed for the 32-bit instruction set, and it'd be a big job to port and debug that - and probably a low-priority job, as one can just use a 32-bit browser, no problem.
I hate to think about what would happen if Chinese users posted political satire videos and the Chinese government decided to send Google some email.
I doubt it would be hosted in China. If the chinese government wants it blocked, they'll block it themselves; I doubt google USA will hand over the IPs of the submitters.
This won't help so much this time, but if the disks were encrypted with a strong password - you only have to enter it when the system is booted, and for a server this shouldn't be too often - then you could send back the disc without the manufacturer being able to read the data.
Google doesn't *just* have to take the matches. Those are for the purpose of the game - to discourage nonsense labeling. Google probably looks at the set of all people who label a given image for common tags, plus the websites it came from.
Actually, Linux does use swap to suspend. It simply swaps everything to disk, syncs, discards the cache, then writes out whatever kernel memory is left. When it resumes, it just reads back in the kernel memory, and lets the programs swap back in.
Keep in mind that keeping around old images isn't really much of a burden - 10G on S3 is $1.50/mo and $2.00 to upload (unless you make it from a running EC2 instance!), and as it's compressed, the prices may be even lower. As for network security, what makes you think amazon hasn't properly firewalled these VMs to keep them from forging their IPs/MACs, and to prevent sniffing? They're already configured with a default-deny firewall that the user needs to lift with an API call.
To be fair - there are very good technical reasons for emails not being purged instantly. Take a look at their Bigtable presentation for some possible reasons.

And Acer was the one who did this, not Microsoft.
Is there something in /proc/cpuflags we can check to see if our hardware qualifies?

Works for me
It's not opt-in anymore. Take a look at maps.google.com - search for a business and they'll ALL have the click-to-call thingy on them.
...do they fire wildly for a few seconds before shutting off?

Not to mention the code generation in the JIT.
Probably because they don't have it ported internally yet. I've heard that their JIT is designed for the 32-bit instruction set, and it'd be a big job to port and debug that - and probably a low-priority job, as one can just use a 32-bit browser, no problem.
Does anyone have a link to a video of the demo in question?

sup /.
They did a lot more than a kernel compile. But I suppose I shouldn't expect people on slashdot to read the article anyway.
