Yes, the article is interesting. But no comments can be. I learned nothing from your post. It spurred no new threads of thought, nor did it give haste to any pre-existing ones.
Its possible to be married and to... enjoy it. To work as partners. To have two minds become as one. To make decisions as one. It was dysfunctional behavior, but on both sides. If my wife doesn't think we need an extra gig of memory,then maybe we don't. Gadgets are not the most important things. Plus, in my day we made do with what we had. 640 k was enough. Hell, we were lucky we had that much. There is something to be said for loving what you have and using it to the greatest purpose possible.
again the point is that the gig should be the end all. Maybe the wife was wrong in denying it, but I'd argue the husband was just as wrong for insisting on it.
Original content? No, I don't think there will be any of that for this story. There really isn't anything insightful or informative to say. Leaving everyone to come up with some misguided attempt at creating a joke that isn't completely expected.

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road
A: Because Russia, a formerly communist nation, has decided to go with a national operating system that forms the basis for a different operating system called Red Hat. And Red is the main color associated with Communism in general. Which makes this joke funny. Also, chickens are in a constant state of motion. They don't really have a set destination in mind, and just wander aimlessly most of the time. So its more of a question of why it wasn't in its coop and what lazy farmer couldn't be bothered to care for his farm animals, than why it an animal with no cognitive power of its own to speak of crossed any kind of a road.
See, not the least bit funny. There should be an editor level feature that only allows for negative moderation on stories. So then the competition amongst the attention seekers would be to see who could write the most bland, non attempt at any horrible run on jokes/memes comments.
Wow, really? by your response, I never would have guessed.
Its your response, that repulses me. Life lived for oneself is not worth living. Not that I'm recommending suicide or Marriage for you. But seriously, don't make the purchase of 1 gig of freaking ram the definition of a life worth living. Gadgets suck compared to people.
If you can't prevent sql injection, do you think you'll be able to properly design a communication layer that prevents it as well? Not validating inputs is not validating inputs.
MCI used to give them out as part of the promotions they'd offer their tele-marketers. If you won the competition in your shift you'd get an atm card that could withdraw $100.00, but it would only work for the next 24 hours ( of course this income was taxed as a gift at 40% or so). They used gimmicks like that to lure employees in, not just quoting them the base salary, but the potential to win all of these competitions that would up their pay. Sure you only make $8.00 an hour with only 20 hours a week, but you could make $600 a week on top of that in bonuses.
I send an extra header in my http streams that contains a Eula stating that by responding to the request, they acknowledge that any Eula they present to me is null and void.
I always thought the implication was that they'd also have natural gas to burn for energy, not oil itself. But yes, there could be some situations that would lend towards exporting an energy source rather than using it due to costs.
Well, the problem is that they are claiming to be developing nuclear power for peaceful purposes. Even though they are oil rich, and have no need for any other energy supply. So basically there is a large group of people that don't believe they are doing things for peaceful purposes. So this response is to be expected and is somewhat valid ( not that it is the truth, but it should merit some concern).
That won't work. Spammers would just send out similar looking messages a day latter intelligent them that the trip has been rescheduled to a later date. Additionally, a nominal re-booking fee applies that will be fully refunded when they complete the vacation. They can also put in fully refundable deposits for future free vacations as well (social, creditcard info, and date of birth, and deposit equal to 1/10 th retail price of the trip is required).
In defense of the quants that created those statistical models, It was just as much of a problem with garbage inputs being put into them as it was a problem with the models themselves ( primarily, a lack of transparency into the complex financial instruments).
My thoughts exactly. It would work perfectly if everyone had just a little common sense and integrity. Which, of course, they don't.
I'd put my efforts into investigating how the worst sorts of spam make their way into bills, and look at ways to increase the transparency of the process. Make a leper of the worst porkers. Tie pay rates, seniority, chairmanships to lack of pork introduced.
I wasn't saying the article was or wasn't correct. I don't really care. Its pedantic and It doesn't really matter. What does the fact that browser A was first with feature Q mean for people trying to make a decision what browser to use? That is useful. That Matters.
Well, you have to ask yourself which method is more likely to keep you protected from emerging threats. A plug in that updates itself every other day, or a browser that releases a new version every other year?
Ok, good point. Then they should just slowly ramp down the power of their stations, until on the last day they finally shut it down. People would figure it out. Or conversely they should change the programming to include less and less programming. Forcing them to show more and more test patterns with 1800 numbers explaining the transition. Get rid of the soaps, then see how many people switch.
No, its a windows problem. Intel has had Physical Address Extensions in its 32 bit processors since the Pentium Pro (released in 1995). With a better Operating system, you can use more than 4 ( up to 64 ) Gigs, but no more than 4 Gigs per process.
I'm using "upgrade" very loosely. To make what was a long rambling post shorter, I have a mac and linux computers as well. If I have to replace the windows one, will I even get a windows one to replace it? I don't know at this point. Its nice to be able to deal with the same OS ( if necessary) as everyone else for compatibility reasons.
Well, what might surprise you is that XP is still faster than either one, and will only be surpassed by windows 7 when you have 32 cores or so. So they made it faster for 32 core machines to the detriment of single -> 31 core machines. That is surprising. Or as the article later suggests is due to other things in vista & 7 that increases the amount of stuff it has to do per transaction.
Its a shame really, it sounded like it was going to be a really positive article. Everyone else has had mostly positive reviews of windows 7. But this one does give me pause about eventually upgrading from XP.
I understand where you are coming from, but I don't think that's the case. They have been running ads, scripted programming talking about the transition for a over a year now. I don't think more time would help the situation.
Second, many people do not have cable/satilite tv that could afford them, but choose to spend their money elsewhere.
Third, the government auctions off our frequency space for our benefit, the new freed up space generated a lot of revenue. The new services might benefit some of us ( wimax, first responders network), but others will simply enrich private companies. So to balance that out, we get a free converter box. Its to make up for the hassle as well. If they government wasn't doing the coupon give away, the boxes would be much more expensive.
Fourth, in Hindsight, you are correct. How was anyone to know that they didn't allocate enough funds for the coupons? They were for anyone that would be unconvinced during the transition, it was just as easy for those will means to apply for the coupon as for those without. So looking backwards, yes if we had know they would run out of funds that would prevent lower income people from making the transition, then yes it would have been unethical to ask for a coupon.
Everything you said is most likely true, but in my experience in my workload I hit the VM thrash threshold much more frequently in Vista than Ubuntu on the same machine running similar applications. I'd say XP was pretty similar in terms of the frequency of it happening.
No, they are liable and are going to pay through the nose, but not for "identity theft". They will be responsible for improperly securing their network and permitting the theft of the cards. But identity theft is a different beast. No one will be able to sign up for new credit cards and or loans in the names of the people whose data was compromised.

Yeah, they're more like cousins by marriage than blood relatives. Still, just to avoid the awkward family reunions they still shouldn't hook up.

Yes, I do disagree. But the main point I was making was that its not a physical limitation of Intel 32 bit processors, since the Pro.
No, its a windows problem. Intel has had Physical Address Extensions in its 32 bit processors since the Pentium Pro (released in 1995). With a better Operating system, you can use more than 4 ( up to 64 ) Gigs, but no more than 4 Gigs per process.
