Ah welll. Its good to know that exactly that bug is known for 3 years with tons of people reporting it again and again (there are douzens of "doublicate of bug nr xxxx" in the list), and after 3 YEARS someone comes with a log that shows that font files are accessed rather then swapfiles.
And everyone is surprised. meaning that nobody ever really looked at that problem (are all leet open source developers linux only?) the last 10 releases or so...
Yes, but the parent was talking about that fewer people on board are bad because of lower damage control. But the point is that if they have only 20-30 people on board, no matter how fast it sinks there will be less causualties then in a high-manpower low-automatism vessel.
MOzilla also seems to suffer from AWFULL memory fragmentation. Whenever mozilla is swapped out, reloading it to ram rakes AGES. I talk about 30-45 Seconds until interactivity on a system with 768 MB RAM. Its actually quicker to kill the process in the task-manager, restart mozilla and then reload the last pages...
Nowadays, there is so much overkill-factor that being hit at all is almost sure death for the ship. Thats why ECM and phalanx guns are much more important than any crew trying to fix what a torpedo or cuise missile has left to fix (meaning not much)
If there is no weakness like a plaintext attack, even if every atom in the universe were an opteron it would still take longer to brute force a 256Bit symetric or 2048bit asymetric key then our sun will exist.
Everybody knows that you can increase the fidelity of your lithographic process by increasing the numeric aperture of the optical system. But 38nm a "magnitude better" then current processes? intel is shipping 95nm prescotts (even if the process sucks (see leakage power), but that has nothing to do with the lithography per se), and 65nm is in developement, with sample chips demeonstrated.
So its more like a "binary order of magnitude" better than current processes..
Er, they will use even more power. Because leackage is only increasing with further process shrinks. And its increasing A LOT. With 0.35 um processes, leackage power was in the.x percent range, with intels 95nm process its already 20-30%. More logic transitors will only result in even more waste, at least with tratitional design rules...
agains your now 1984 government, you are a terrorist and quicker dead or on camp x-ray than you can squeeze the trigger. Or do you think you would have a chance against a swat team?
Hm. 128GFLOPS/32CPUS*500MHZ=8 fp ops per second or 4 MACs per second. Not impossible for a bigger processor with low clockrate that focusses more on ipc.
even if it's an aprils fool joke, it isn't a very good one. Because everything is quite plausible. An 0.8" microdrive would be just light enough to allow a pigeon to fly, and the distance and time messurements are quite realistic for a fligh with load.
I dont know that exact satelite, but most of those "reactors" are in fact thermoelectic, powered by decay death. Those things use isotopes with a half life in a low 2 digit year range, because they NEED a HIGH decay rate to create heat. So in a few hundered years there wont be too much left to make our great - great children 3 eyed...
It has a (relatively) high resolution, does only need power to change the display content (so you can use it for weeks in a row) and because its reflection properties you could even read it on a a glacier or at the beach.
What you are descriping is the old divx3.1 codec that noone uses anymore. The modern 4.0 and 5.x codecs are perfectly legal mpeg4 implementation, and divx-nextworks pays the licensing fees.
Hm. 1. Quite often (in geological proportions) 1b) There was this little explosion in russia 1907 (iirc). If it had hit somewhere else, it could have killed 100000s...
2. Do you want to suggest a hit into water would be better than a land hit? Think again. There are such things as Tsunamies, and massive water vapour can mess up climate as well as dust/ashes.
"FAR" is a very vague thing in space. Yes, its near, but its small and its cold. So its only to detect if you are looking EXACTLY at it. A blue giant a million light years away is MUCH easier to spot that that pile of cold rock.
I have to agree that its incredibly hard. But most teams "archivements" were really laughable. Those werent college kids designing cool projects. Those people had brains and money behind them. They know the task. The best were selected. And even then they produce crap that doesnt even leave the starting area?
A brick on the gas pedal of a suv while limiting the speed down to 10-15 km/h would have taken 20 minutes, 20$, and still would at least scored 5th or 6th place in the top of the crop competition....
Well, the 300GB and 250GB are measured in GB, bot GiB, too, so that point isnt valid. And i can centainly see the usefullness, for example in large storage raids. If you have 9 Slot raid array, now you can do a 2.8TB Raid 5 with hot spare. With the Maxtors 300GB (that are only 5400rpm) it would be only 2.1, with the normal 250Gbs even less.
Sure, not everyone needs the biggest available HD in desktop right now, but its good that if you need them, you could buy them.
Question again: Have you EVER used winxp or 2003? You can mount partitions to directories, drive letters, or both. YOu can mount the same partition to different directories at the same time. And its all in a nice applett were every parition/cdrom, ect has a nice listbox where it is currently mounted.

Units are supposed to be used in sensible ways
Well, then you press the red button labeled "NO injection. DANGER", of course....
Damage control isnt what it was in ww2.

At least against an opponent that can defend himself.
Cruise missiles cost millions per shot. Smart bombs 100,000s. Drones millions.
And a though with a 250$ ak74, and 50$ worth of c4 can do as much damage. Without radar warning.
Trying a full scale high-tech war would ruin any country.
i guess your typical book doesnt have a cover pic or any illustrations in it?

System memory, yes i know.
But i want to know if one process can allocate more than 2GB ram. with 10.2 it wasnt possible.
