This makes no sense to me -- that would seem to imply the most likely thing to end up on the SSD is my swap partition, which is the last thing I want on SSD. Yeah, read would be faster, but the wear would be awful.
Maybe I'm missing something. I'd probably be happier if it just exposed the 4GB as a different partition...
Jython supports Django I've read, so again you can theoretically get the best of both if that's important.
Personally, I dislike the Java ecosystem due to its bulkiness. However, for some particularly high-CPU tasks (complex search), it can fit into a larger REST environment nicely via Restlet or Django.
"During the same panel, Apple co-founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs approached Commodore with an Apple II prototype, which was much more advanced in color, graphics, sound and games. Apple at the time didn't have the money to make and sell the Apple II, and was hoping Commodore would push the design to market. Commodore, however, preferred to develop the Commodore 64 as a simpler, lower-cost, black-and-white-only machine. "
AFAIK, the C-64 was never a black-and-white only machine and had a very good color spectrum (16 prinicple colors to apple's six -- 15 if you used "color mixing"). Yeah, there were limitations to which colors were assigned to which 8x8 pixel blocks on C-64, but game developers seemed to get by just fine. I have no clue where they got the idea that the Apple had better sound (or games for that matter).
Okay, so noone uses them, but TBL's own RFC in section C.1 demonstrates the use of an initial double-forward-slash meaning change the netloc without changing the protocol. This could be useful if you're dealing with resources that have the same mapping on multiple protocols (like http and https).
I know it's a corner case, but it is still technically a documented use case...
Ah, but can you turn up a bit more power in a matter of minutes not days?
One tricky part with managing the hosted hardware is figuring out how much you need. The beauty of cloud is that you don't need that calculation to produce a highly robust website. You _do_ need to still calculate and estimate costs, but if one uses reasonable worst cases one ends up with a model that's very close to normal hosting in price.
The difference is the disaster recovery, not the price (which you have to build into your software stack too!)
1. Take a craft that has the fuel and thrust to go from Earth to Mars without the tubes in X days. 2. Actively navigate the tubes instead of free-falling 3. Wouldn't this make for a shorter, more efficient trip? 4. Does navigating the currents have any effect on relativity? (Could a ship travel closer to c through these tubes?)
The thing that takes the most time is all the procedure. In effect, the court wants the jury to absorb only the lawful facts and reach a decision based on that. However, the jury is still exposed to many biasing agents.
It just seems that the lawyers and the court should be able to come up with some agreed pre-recorded body of evidence and testimony, show the jury that, and let the deliberation begin. That's all the jury's allowed to consider anyway. It would make the window for outside influence shrink dramatically and make for far more willing (not to mention awake) jurors.
It's not just about the range. It's about the penalty for nearing or exceeding the range.
Think of it this way. In a Gasoline powered car, if I exceed the range (almost) I am penalized only as much as it requires me to call AAA or get to a gas station. I am not terribly penalized for missing it.
If I refuel near range (typical use case), then I am not put out at all. If I'm running late for work and I need to refuel it doesn't cost me much time at all, making me only marginally more late. And these are pretty much the worst cases.
In contrast, if I forget to recharge these electric vehicles, I'm penalized greatly. 30 minutes to get me to 80% of the way there doesn't sound that great. Plus I've never known a battery to live up to it's range specification so I'm thinking 100 miles is what you get the first month and then expect it to start going down.
Perfect for 97% of our driving needs? Until I can replace dead batteries with charged ones at something as convenient and ubiquitous as gas stations, maybe it's perfect for your needs. It definitely isn't perfect for mine.
This makes me giggle, because it's basically the return of time-sharing; in the past it was for for mainframe systems
When you stop giggling you may as well notice both have nothing in common.
I was just about make this point, although the comparison is more like:
* Mainframes -- time shared because the hardware was very expensive and had the cost had to be apportioned fairly (limited commodity supply, heavy demand per mainframe). * Microsoft -- time shared because they want to rake in more dough (massive commodity supply, low demand per individual computer).
So, completely agree with the parent's original statement (nothing in common, in fact total opposites IMHO), but clarifying the details to try to make it valid.
According to TFA it has both a fuel warning system and two ballistic parachutes.
Oh, _that_ will make me feel better when several thousand pounds of machine + personage come crashing through my roof. At least the car might survive the fall.
I'm agnostic (fallen away Catholic), and therefore no "fundi", but IMHO the notion that deities CAN'T exist is just as foolish and arrogant as asserting they NECESSARILY exist. Ultimately, neither position is likely to ever be proved or disproved.
Why is it so important to some atheists to ram the theory of godlessness down the throats of others: a behavior identical to many of those being vilified (the "fundi's" [sic] in this case). There is a dearth of evidence for either position, so it really does come down to one's faith. Belief in nothing is, IMHO, still a matter of faith.
Overall, I personally tend to agree more with science's position: without evidence to the contrary, assume the most "basic" situation exists. In this context, without hard evidence of a God, assume no God exists. But ultimately this is still an assumption. For a long time we had no clue of the existence of gravity, radio, or that light even had a speed at all. Just because we didn't conceptualize them didn't mean they didn't exist. Conversely, just because we DO conceptualize something doesn't mean it DOES exist (Aether anyone?).
But, without "God" (in whatever form), where did we come from? Science seems to be able to track things back to the Big Bang, but before that many leading scientists simply argue it doesn't matter.
Suppose the Big Bang was a local phenomena and part of a larger universe? Before assuming THAT doesn't matter, suppose the two Big Bang-style "universes" come into contact someday -- then it definitely would matter and would nullify our assumptions about our universe. Somewhere down the line something was set into motion that allowed everything we all experience to exist. Was that God? Maybe. Even if I assume that God did create everything lends no particular credence to the specific claims made by any of the current religions.
But, back to the article. Suppose there is life found outside our planet (and I truly hope there is). Does that completely invalidate the "fundi's" position? Not really, one could easily argue that the Bible only refers to our place on Earth, not the universe as a whole and that other worlds would have different relationships with God. Of course, that slipperiness is what makes the position distasteful to me, but I still could relate and accept that reasoning as the foundation of their view of the world.
Most likely I'll never know the answers to any of these questions. Do you, the reader, know? Not just have a few purported clues and decided that Professor Plum created the universe with a chainsaw, but actually KNOW whether God exists? Can you trace everything back to the beginning of all time (not just the known universe)?
Are you really all that certain that whatever God you worship is not simply the play toy of another higher being? After all, "I am the Lord thy God... You shall have no other Gods besides Me" doesn't preclude the possibility of higher levels of bureaucracy. It just implies that the bureaucracy doesn't matter to us and that we should direct all requests to our designated divine civil servant for proper routing.
If not (and I'm certain that despite any protests the real answer is no -- I suppose that's the only real tennent of MY faith), please stow the over-righteous attitude. It's not helping anyone's quest for the answers.
I think the Cylon meant either Zack (Apollo's brother) or Bill Adama's wife (Apollo's mother). I would expect that either would screw with a few heads.

If "Real Genius" taught us anything, wasn't it to always keep your optics clean? I can't imagine a dirtier place to have a laser.
"Just imagine the vulnerabilities !"
This seems like the same sort of thing that gets Windows into trouble all the time (Flash in Excel for example).
According to imdb, moon was 97 minutes.
I've never watched "Warehouse-13" but am I correct in assuming it's "Friday the 13th: The Series: The Next Generation"?

So, MPEG-7 is a bitwise OR of MPEG-1, -2, and -4.

Microsoft should get taxed every time one of their crappy products lets in yet another piece of malware.
No way! It should have been the "Galactica"!
Amazing! That's the same combination I have on my luggage!

Does this work the other way around?

Fine. If it gets IE banned (which is probably still the #1 agent for transferring all things illegal), then I'm all for it.
