I'd be curious to see what this would look like if you excluded immigrants - I suspect the US would place a lot higher relative to highly homogenous societies like the ones at the top.
I would imagine that excluding inner city ghettoes would also have a marked effect on the numbers. But what are you going to do then? Declare East St. Louis a foreign country and bomb it? Good, bad, or indifferent, they are part of us. The only thing that this sort of number crunching is really good for is identifying areas that need more attention.
Take slashdot (as an example), if everyone blocks ads, how would they "adapt"?
Maybe they'll run on top of some torrent-like software. Perhaps the individual comments could be passed around separately. Instead of 'articles', we could have broad groupings to put news in. We could even designate some computers as servers so they aggregate most of the comments, which we could then read at our leisure.
his usually wouldn't be a problem for the router, except for each packet was destined for a unique IP address. What started happening is that each route was looked up, routed, and stored in its cache for future packets - only there weren't any future packets. What happened next was the memory space allocated for caching CEF routes filled up, and once full, the router simply purged its cache so that every packet had to then go to the CPU to be routed. Once this happened, all hell broke loose.
One solution: tiered caching. chop the cache memory into pieces. New entries are in one section, and entries can migrate from one tier to the next as additional hits hit that entry. When a tier fills up, age out old/unused entries. With this in place, allocating 20% to new entries would mean that a smaller amount of data is thrashed and common routes are maintained. Blaster would still kill this scheme eventually, but it would take longer.
Or like HP announced today, that they are once again changing their HP-UX roadmap and once again proved that they can't be taken seriously if they predict anything further out than 3 months.
There should be some sort of obvious graphic or text that says, "Look folks, we're official. We're with the credit unions. We're not going to steal you're ID."
And how exactly does your privacy benefit from having yet another place available on the web with your data on it?
Get real. Anybody who really wants to can locate your credit report - there are a lot of sleazy people out there with access to this info, and it only takes one of them to run your report. Your info is already available to anybody who wants it enough.
I'm not so sure that printing without spaces is a crippling problem in Chinese or Japanese. The traditional alphabet for both is the same, and one character is one word.
Only for simple words like man and house. Complex stuff like Tokyo, gather, and company are 2 or more. Even then, verbs and particles use additional characters for conjugation. The lack of spaces isn't much of a problem, though - sentences are delimited and word boundaries are usually clear.
Agreed. Number one, the "Power Failure Crash" is just stupid. This one gripe makes me believe that the author doesn't understand computers and how they work at all, for two reasons:
At first, I thought this was a joke. I mean really, the power went out - WTF did you think would happen, and why is it the software's fault? Simple fix: add a capacitor to the PS, and add some system mgmt software to notice when the power goes away. In the meantime, save you goddamn work.
Slashdot Mirror
You want less crime? You need a smarter, more motivated population.
Nah, you need a population that has decent jobs and some money on Friday night.

I think he meant Red Hat's "offering" of Linux, not necessarily implying that they were the only one, just the only contender at that level.
Seeing as how the other two examples are possessive, I think he meant to confuse the issue.
Americans are screwing Americans. Gee, I suppose its is "American first".
Don't worry. I'm sure we'll get around to screwing the rest of the world eventually.
Won't anyone give them a break?
My pleasure. Arm or Leg?
Last I heard there were only 2 gaming companies in the whole industry who were actually turning a profit (EA and Blizzard).
What about Sony's game division, nintendo, and the myriad independents?

So, as a result, I like to see, hot-swappable everything.
So run a cluster of servers behind a load balancer. If one server craps out, swap it out.

Bad Carly! No bonus.
For Load They should max out the system slightly above the recommended specs and see how well it handles it.
Nah, push it until it falls over and see how it degrades. Stick a line on the graph where the rated capacity is.
What lower's you score is if credit card companies request your credit report. So if you apply for 5 cc in 6 months, each one will lower your score.
Only hard hits (new accounts, mainly) do that. The rest are soft hits, which stop affecting your score after 2 or 3.

Why, so the scammers can grab a copy?

Lots of debt, perfect payment history.
And a collection account from the UN.
no more gun-wielding terrorists and no more gun-wielding soldiers.
What about the gun-wielding Iraqis?
You can also see how much you save by going for four 300MB drives (over $600 saved), or four 250MB drives (nearly $1900 saved) on that page.
Screw all that - for that amount of storage, I'd require a raid setup. Wouldn't it suck to lose over 1TB of whatever it is you're putting in there?
. If anything we should be proud they are using our language.
Korean?
How many people do you know that can carry on a voice conversation with 5 people at once?
Just myself. It gets confusing, but you can fix that by using proper names more often so people know when you're responding to them.

I'm a programmer and there are plenty of times when I can't figure out why a button is greyed on the program I work on.
So stick a message in the status bar and be done with it.
How about releasing the list 2 days early?

Without God, there is only Nihilism.
Well, there's also Atheism and the Agnostics (sort of). Oh, and buddhism has no god in it, but it frequently gets lumped in with the other religions.
Speeding can be both immoral and unethical, because you put your life and that of others in danger.
No, speeding does not, of itself, endanger others. You're thinking of reckless driving.
Oh, and I don't like "God" entering this discussion, because he does not exist
Okay, fine. Ignore God, as my argument was that the law has no standing on moral issues.
