an employee using a company computer to view pornography of Asian women and of children.... Subsequently the employee was promoted and moved to China to run a manufacturing plant.
jeez, sending someone who likes looking at asian women & kids to run a mfg co in China... that has stoopid written all over it...
Beowulf is a good idea for a very limited number of number crunching applications, or as a student learning tool for comp sci or related studies. Yeah, we built one of those a couple years ago, the professors ended picking up intel quad core machines that were faster (no effing network latency). Beowulf is gathering dust.
Oh, and try writing your own lam-mpi code sometime...
Still, this will clearly raise the fear of human rights abuses.
Silly. If this were happenning in the US or Britain, yeah, there should be fear of human rights abuses.
In China, though, you ain't got no rights. What we call "abuses" they consider business as usual.
Seems like I see articles like this every other day. Don't these people realize they're going to pay a $2 billion file and go to prison for 1700 years??
Did something happen while I was asleep or is there still a DMCA?
Nope. This doesn't take fear away... just the self-recycling of learned fear responses in otherwise benign situations.
For survival, the brain doesn't know that if a bad thing happens once it might never happen again. All it knows is something bad happened. For some (like me) it becomes an obstacle that takes decades to work out.
So I would think fear of dangerous things like high voltage, icy rivers, etc would remain at a respectable, life-preserving level.
I wasn't looking for anything in particular, but when I put the url of piratebay in my browser a blocking service page came up. First time I saw anything like this. I get DSL in Chicago thru, I guess it's AT&T now...
This is all well and good if it's like a parental control thing but I'm a 50 year old paying customer and I'm not used to getting flipped off by my ISP. I suppose I should be looking over my shoulder.
I remember reading about how Tesla could calculate the resonant period of a building, then set up a small mechanical oscillator on an I-beam or some such, and make the whole building shake (eventually) via positive feedback.
This won't prevent a crime carried out by an unsuspecting third party, ie criminal sticks a bomb in an old lady's purse, old lady gets on a bus, kaboom.
the act of firing beats the p*ss out of the launcher and the projectile. so the crew must be constantly replacing worn parts on this thing, unless it can be designed with an automatic loading system to pop out worn rails and put new ones in. See above comments about spark erosion, etc.

anyway, it seems to work on the website.
According to my calc's, the fastest I can send one bit 20,000 miles is in 107 milliseconds. Now how do these yahoo's come up with 9 Gb/s??

COBOL is a bit like sex.
a missing period can mean big trouble.
what "human condition" does Flash Gordon series contain ? or early superman series ?
None, and that's the point. Flash and early superman were cheap junk. Star Wars is expensive junk.
Of course, Joseph Campbell would have disagreed.
no one should have to kill themselves because adults can't figure out what to do.
nipple clamps, pointy hooks in the skin & hot wax on the balls just ain't doing it like it used to.
time to upgrade to vista.

pooh! I'm glad someone gets the joke...
Jack Chick announces he's coming out of retirement.
She's probably the reason I need my arteries un-clogged in the first place.
you dolt! that's not what I meant by 'eating a girl'.
