Flops wouldn't test how well the interconnects work.
Since you say "increase the resolution of the model", you are expanding the size of the model, and how much data must be used by all of the nodes of the computer.
Since how important the interconnect properties are is dependent on the model, with almost no communication needed, like for F@H, to a problem that needs all of the nodes to have access to a single shared set of data, it would be very hard to quantify performance in one number.
Unfortunately, there are more than a few fields where marketers want a single number to advertise in a "mine is bigger than yours" competition, and come up with a metric that is almost worthless.
Per that PDF, on page 10 Comcast described how they "delay" the packets, using "reset packets." Stop letting them get away with calling forging reset packets "throttling". Instead, they are blocking connections via forgery.
Except, they admit that packets with the reset header are only supposed to be used by the two end computers, and not by any of the routers in between, which should be handled by ICMP.
They say, in that pdf, "As used in our current congestion management practices, the reset packet is used to convey that the system cannot, at that moment, process additional high-resource demands without creating risk of congestion.", which is just crazy. Reset isn't a "slow down" message, it is a "stop sending me any kind of data on this connection" message.
The *iaa will start sending their dogs down the path of forcing ISPs and their lapdogs in congress to make sure that we know exactly WHO is on WHAT IP address at all times so all actions can be accountable.
That would require some fundamental changes to how IP works. Things like anycast mean that right now there are more than a few IP addresses that go to multiple computers.
The federal government has always done more than that. In the case of drugs in general, you're fooling yourself if you believe that the effects are going to just stay in the state which legalizes.
So you mean that before the 18th amendment, the federal government had jurisdiction on what kinds of drugs and alcohol could be sold within a state? I don't know about you, but since 1919 isn't "forever" in my book.
Basically because the harm of not doing is far less than the possible harm of doing in most cases.
You are in favor of banning behaviors that might be harmful to themselves? Why then would cigarettes be legal, which we know causes cancer and is highly addictive, and marijuana be a class 1 narcotic? Marijuana actually has some medical benefits.
You would also be in favor of outlawing grills (carcinogens in the food, the propane), ATVs, motorcycles, driving, smoking, alcohol, etc?
Sorry, I would rather decide for myself what I want to do, rather than have the government tell me.
I mean just look at fireworks as an example, those frequently cross state lines or leave reservations. If the feds weren't allowed to regulate that it would be a huge nightmare for your average person to figure out what combination of policies would be in force.
Sweet, so I can't drive from Denver to Wyoming to get fireworks that are illegal in Colorado? Like any kind of firework that leave the ground, which is illegal in Colorado?
Usually when OO.org does the "document recovery" thing, that window is under the splash screen. So, you can't click "continue" because it is covered up.
So, I just disabled the splash screen entirely, but how hard is it to make sure that the splash screen is gone before having any dialog boxes that require user input to continue.
Monticello hatched an ambitious plan to wire up its entire town with fiber, build an interconnect station, and allow ISPs to link up to the site and offer Internet access over the city-maintained fiber links.
Since the fiber plant is going to be a monopoly, this is how internet access should be sold: have the part that is going to be a monopoly be regulated, and then allow competition where that is easy.
The only trick is not allowing the people in charge of just the fiber to interact with the data running over that fiber, as the Canadians are discovering with Bell.
Many of those laptops that can be configured have "FreeDos" as an option for the OS. Sure, that means it doesn't come with an installed Linux distro, but you can get a customized laptop without the MS tax.
I agree with you about the media thing. The "infinity+" copyrights are a horrible abomination on the public.
The other thing is that the US isn't a democracy, especially at the federal level, so it really doesn't matter what "the people" want. Just look at the War on Drugs.
Another thing that many smaller news sites don't include is the city and state that the news is from, especially if it is local news and there is nothing to tell you where it is from.
AP news articles usually have the location at the start of the article, which makes a lot of sense.
Why not see if you could get to work at (say) midnight, so that when you get home it is morning?
How about instead of redefining time, you change what the times mean?
That is my complaint about DST: instead of leaving it up to businesses to start work at 9 instead of 8, they have to mandate that the whole concept of local time changes.
I included a OTP(one time pad) in my list of possible encryption methods. This means that every request/response would be encrypted using a string that isn't going to be used again, and shouldn't have any relation to any other request/responses. This does mean that the number of queries is limited, though.
Image the transaction between the base and the RFID tag was like this: Base: What is your serial number? RFID: 1234
Base looks up the next valid request string in the OTP table, gets the value "ABCD", and sends the query 'Provide the correct response to 'ABCD'". RFID provides the corresponding response in the OTP table: "DEAD"
Base: Cool, you authenticated, now mark that row as "used" RIF: Ok.
If you try to repeat that response value of "DEAD", it wouldn't work, because it has been used, and you have no way of knowing (without physically inspecting the RFID tag) what the next valid response is, without knowing what the OTP is. Other encryption techniques could work in a similar way, preventing you from simply repeating the conversation to authenticate as the RFID chip.

Do Battle Bridges normally have the "console explodes when bad things happen" feature?
Because I hate it when sparks fly out of the back of my computer.

What about being able to use 1080p with a TV that doesn't have HDMI?
1080p can be sent over component, but no Blu-Ray players do that.
Digital Restrictions Management?
Though, I don't know if 190 pounds is enough to be considered "masses".
So, if you are a minor, your right to "freedom of speech" is abridged?

Hence the 10th amendment. The larger the government layer, the harder it is to change.
Too bad many people don't care any more.
If California wants to make marijuana legal, they should be able to, since it isn't interstate commerce.
My favorite bad splash screen has to be OO.org.

Diesel fuel in the USA wasn't as clean as in Europe.
Ultra-slow sulfur diesel is now required in the US:

(Note, I am very libertarian)
I would disagree with you on that.
Laws should only intervene when your actions directly harm another person. So, only a subset of "wrong" should be illegal.
When talking about psychological harm "wrong" gets very muddy. Does protecting people under 18 from any sexual information help or hurt?
Is it wrong to be rude to someone? Should that be illegal?
The hammer lobby in DC isn't big enough.

AP news articles usually have the location at the start of the article, which makes a lot of sense.
Aren't news articles supposed to answer:
Who?
What?
Where?
When?
Why?
How?
Bush is trying to fix that.

13 Months of 28 days, with a leap week occasionally.
The problem is if you want weeks and months, there aren't many ways to split up the 365.24 days in a year.
Having a time notation that is based on fractional days would be cool, with .0 being midnight and .5 being noon would be nice.
Why not see if you could get to work at (say) midnight, so that when you get home it is morning?
How about instead of redefining time, you change what the times mean?
That is my complaint about DST: instead of leaving it up to businesses to start work at 9 instead of 8, they have to mandate that the whole concept of local time changes.
Why don't you try to get everyone you interact with to use UTC, then?
The gp obviously wasn't talking about recording timestamps, which should be in UTC.

That makes even less sense.
Surely a mass-scale pirate would apply the no-cd crack to the discs before he makes 1 kilocopy?
