You have to build 2 Racks full of storage servers instead of 1 for the same amount of capacity, too. (including 1/2 the raid controllers, 1/2 the switch ports, ect,ect)
So i think it evens itself out quite a bit, when wanting very large storage networks.
He is right! NCQ actually increases latency in desktop usage profiles due added overhead. In only can show its benefits if there are long queues of outstanding transactions, which rarely happens outside server usage.
While i dont like multi-face mirrors optically (like in good-loooking, not good optical properties:D ), those are really impressive.
Its also interesting just how long those mirrors need to cool down... in our modern, fast-paced world a mirror cooling for more than half a year or so seems like something from another age...
Its the simple fact that its expendable. Nowadays, at least the coffins comming back from iraq reminds people a little bit that waging isnt a game.
How would it be if you just paradrop smart vehicles (or remote) and just play "enemy combatant extermination". Nobody gets hurt (at least no "real people", i.e. americans) no unsighly people crying about fallen family members... That way war would really be fun, right out of every neo-cons wet dream.
Wanted to get the link to the old article, only to realizs just HOW RETARTED./s search fuction really is. My guess is it doesnt actually search, but randomly choses articles, and the search term seeds the rendom number generator
My problem with spending lots of mony for keyboards is the coke factor... They just are much more likely to die than anything else int he computer, and really cleaning/maintaining them is a bitch.
I really would like the optimus, but i also perfectly know that i wouldnt use it, simply because it would be too nice to wear out/get dirty.
Well, children are no idiots... It doesnt matter that a 100 million transitors are working in a decive... if a kid can play an instrument, it can also use a computer... same stuff: remembering key presses to make stuff happen.
My niece had her seconds birthday a months a go, and if my brother in low isnt at home and she wants to hear his voice, she runs to the telephone answering machine and plays his recording (and its not as if she smashes around until sounds starts, she knows to right button to press)
Well, i answer your first point: Yes, a moon as large as earths (epesially the mass ratio) is very rare (not unheard of, but very rare). Because in self-gravitating systems, the only reason for bodies forming outside the centre is conservation of angular momentum, which goes with m*r^2*omega, which means that a rather small plannet suffices if its only far enough away: look at our solar system: 99.9% of the mass is in the sun, but >99% of the angular momentum is in the planets). Our earth-moon system is very imbalanced (which is thought to be a result form a collision with an external body), so it should be rare.
about the second one: i dont think we know enough about how intelligent life starts to make ANY kind of guess here, but i dont see how a moon should be required for the basic evolution... The only point thinkable were that tides helped in the primordial phase, but its not like we wouldnt have tides without the moon, the sun alone would be good enough for small ones, too.
Well, the third point: You can have an eclipse:) (This is acutally quite rare, because you need a rather big&close moon).
I was with you up to this line... Come on, womens period and and lenghts of months alright, but do you REALLY think thats more important as day/night cycle? Would the concept of "sleep" have evolved?, ect,ect
I never played the game, and it was VERY hard to actually get the any usefull information out of the article, but: It seems in the first part, you could lose size when the ball was attacked (by rats, for example) or hit spikes,ect, but the main enemy was the time-limit.
The second part seems to be more like classical puzzle games: find the right way to pick stuff up to get size and thus the option of picking heavier stuff up (which opens new ways). Otoh, it has no time limit, the difficulity is in puzzling out which approach to take in clearing the level.
Im right there with you... I actually managed to get about halfway through, in speed mode... only to find it he NEVER comes to any kind of point. Then i took the link to his review of the prequel, thinking "maybe he was a bit more precise the first time...", and it was EXACTLY THE SAME!
God, why oh why does he need to stuff 3 weeks worth of livejournal-class blogg crap into ONE review?
Your logic has a flaw: A resume form hibernation has to read ALL of your memory from disc, as only saving "used" memory frames would just invide bugs from hell. (think about memory windows from drivers, or what is "clean state" ? which autostarts/services,ect) And with 1GB, even on a very fast HD it would need 20 seconds... Not faster
Also consider that bootup is usually the time to detect new hardware.
In fact, im quite happy with the 20-30 seconds i get with windows xp.
After lots of real bad articles (like that beamer), this is finally some REAL DIU. Starting from the copper wire and magnets, there is actually some real construction involved.
Er... I have had many 3D cards the last decade, but i NEVER had to flash my cards bios... or even the option too.
And why should it go down to dos just to flash some wimpy graphics card? If i can flash my asus-board while in windows (and playing a movie), i dont see any reason for going into dos...

Linux was created by Torvards for use on his home pc...
I would call that pretty strong roots in desktop...

This telescopy will be cheaper in total than a singly shuttle mission to extend hubbles lifetime...

Thats whats worse.

"private security researcher" sounds really that much more educated and important then a mere "hacker"...
In the very discusson about that exploit here on ./, several (highly upmoderated) posts were highlighting spreadfirefox as a popular user of that CMS.
No patching even after being presented as an example for a vulnerable site is more than just neglectance.
Maybe you should just take a look at c specification that arent older than a decade?

Just shove your gps where it creates some nice feelings, be are building our own system where you guys cant fuck around.

until the first moron posts the usual "it will NEVER produce as much energy as it consumed during production !!!!111" propaganda...
If this had anything to do with reality, PS3 wouldnt use a bolted on nvidia gpu.
If you'd use cells SPE as a 3d accelerator, i would be surprised to see it even reach geforce2 levels.
