So all your customers have to reinstall their modems every second year?
Personally I have no opinion about either 5 year cycle or ip v. 6 - it's not my department, I'm just saying that the router chugging along at home is IPv4 and it will be dead before my ISP is upgrading it.
Oh and I call bullshit on your claim. I happen to work with some big ISPs in Europe and they are only upgrading when old stuff gives up - or once in a while - when they close a datacenter and centralize. Generally nothing gets upgraded unless needed.
Actually it is the same. You just aren't used to have to ask the whitepages where person X is at the moment everytime you dial him up.
In fact, it isn't until very recently you where able to move a phonenumber with you (EU, no idea how it works in US) - requiring you to update all those who might want to contact you.
Actually no we don't, because customers (that would be you) aren't willing to pay the actual cost of equipment. Upgrades are something that happens when the old stuff is dead or 5 years has passed (the time it takes to write it off), whichever comes first.
As long as the development of said supergun is in the US, you are doing it right.
Problem starts when mass production starts ordering equipment overseas - development and production of military equipment = jobs which help the economy, where ever it takes place, trick is to make sure you build it in your own garden.
People using Oracle will be buying SUN hardware in their next upgrade, it's what Oracle says they must use, it will be what they are using - that's the whole point of buying Oracle, they take the blame if it doesn't work, but you *must* buy their medicine.
If we are using emperical evidence, I would make the claim that no one is using Oracle in corporations, because I've never seen anyone use it when working for mega corps. I have however seen MySQL, DB2 and MSSQL - but unlike you I'm very well aware that it makes no sense to make such claim.
And your last comment about DBA - again, you make no sense. Why was an entire DB being imported on a live environment? Would you rather have had a single commit in the end? If this was such a "huge DB" (I'm thinking TB when talking huge), he might only have had the option of a single commit or autocommit; in which case autocommitting is the correct option, since the rollback tree for a TB class DB would destroy everything.
The TFA is missing the point quite badly. Ekstrabladet is complaining because the british newspaper The Sun is allowed to have toples girls on their application - it is illegal to differantiate like that.
Also, since the appstore is a defacto monopoly, Apple can get in really hot water for acting like this.
Apparently most slashdotters do math on a daily basis. I can't recall the last time I needed to do integrals - in fact, if you had asked me 5 minutes ago how to calculate the area under a curve, I would have needed a trip to google/wolfram to look it up.
Can't really fault someone who isn't doing it on a daily basis for not knowing the "obvious" answer.
Local areas may vary, but the company I work for charge you however you want it.
You can buy an allowance for the month, like most places - from $10 (1GB) to $30 (5 GB) - or you can pay $1 per MB.
The thing is - if we where to charge you the actual cost per MB traffic, it would be hugely expensive for you to get anything close to 1 GB (putting up towers and having xDSL in the boondocks is expensive, think avg. price pr. MB in the 20 cent range) - most people wont use more than 50-100MB, therefore we can lower the price for 1GB traffic and have all customers pay part of the tarif, while still giving people the ability to "spike" their usage without fear of huge bills. Yes this might seem unfair, but hey, that is how life works - we split the bill for highways, hospitals etc. even though we don't use it equally.
So no, it doesn't preclude you from having civilian casualties. The only way to preclude this is to never have war. Being that we are humans, you can have high hopes of this, but this will only happen when Santa Claus delivers it. However, if I were a civilian close to the fighting, I would rather have these fired when one side is trying to suppress fire (or take out the enemy).
Well my payment from work arrives the last day of the month, my bills are due the day after.
So what you are saying is, at any given point everyone must have enough to cover all their next months bills?
Also, why isn't it reasonable to expect the bank to be online? I'm 29 years old, in the 10 years I've been taking care of myself, I've never had troubles with paying the bills just in time, been using online banking since about 2000 without problems.
Doesn't matter, you can just go to a restaurant after the security check point and grab a knife.
What matters now is a hijacking is no longer safe for passengers, it used to be a slight layover at some random mid-eastern airport while the demands got sorted, hence no one did anything on 9-11 (at first) - however, those hijackings changed the game. Now passengers understand *they* have to deal with it, thus a 3-5 man hijacking is no longer easy to do, since you have some 150-300 people who might object to it.
Postgres doesn't have clustering, so how exactly are you achiving this?
The new "hot" standby option for postgres is a step in the right direction, but most can't live with "eventually consistent" in their hot standby environmen.t

Read international news instead of local.
Suicide bombers are blowing a shit load of things up in Afghanistan and Iraq. (And cocked one up in sweden today...)

You make absolutely no sense.

Jup, well known - easiest way to avoid a scandal in the newspaper is to create an even bigger scandal.

Really, how so?
Rather live free or die trying.
Err no.
All my clocks go from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59.
Shush! don't come here with facts when they are having a good round of trolling!
Most people I know don't know their own phonenumber without looking in their contact list on their mobile phone...
The downside of course is people expect war to be something clean again (Battlefields used to be a spectator sport).
So war will be over by christmas?
That would be an act of war.
Killing a citizen is just espionage and will get you in a big of hot water.
I'm very surprised Julian Assange is still alive.
Really?

Err, did you just claim cache is as fast as a register access?
Flip a bit, makes hash algorithms worthless but keeps the picture right.
