What about BTRFS as boot device support? Any word on that?
Considering I was able to in Fedora 16, I would assume so.
mount | grep btrfs /dev/sda4 on / type btrfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,nospace_cache) /dev/sda2 on/boot type btrfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,nospace_cache) /dev/sda5 on/home type btrfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,nospace_cache)
Haven't got to the article yet, but in the summary I keep reading...
Then you reboot the software controlling the machines, and out come the parts for the drive train system in a tank.
I still don't get what a reboot has to do with this. Is it running Windows?
I imagine it would be something similar in practice to re-kickstart'ing a server with a different and highly specialized OS and packages. Want to build tanks this week, reboot all the controller nodes and have them boot the custom tank settings. Heli blades, reboot them into the custom helicopter setting. If you want to make sure that all your nodes are all running the exact same thing, this approach is the way to go.
You just have to make your platform able to handle file replications to N + 1 nodes (or any of the other plethora of ways you can slice it). Then go with a RAID 5 or whatever strategy you want, to give individual nodes the likelihood of higher availability. If you need to handle higher IOPS you can go with a distributed filesystem that can handle metadata/journalling on discrete nodes and load it up with SSD's / Fusion IO, whatever fits your bill. Then you can have banks of slow disks without much concern of the general IO as the metadata/journal nodes will have blazing IO and will act like a buffer to disk.
On the USB 3 front, I suspect that will be the case as almost everyone has a USB port. Additionally, the bandwidth available for USB 3 far exceeds the transfer rates of any spinning disk, so I don't think it is really much of a concern.
More like News for Nerds, because now I know exactly how far someone can push a criminally liable (but only every so slightly) network of web(spy) cams. I think most people wouldn't blink and eye at a month in jail if they thought they could get some really, really good material to blackmail someone, if/when the opportunity arises. Sure, some people are generally ethical and would never do this, but we all know a significant percentage are not.

Why can't you afford college? It's about $60,000 per kid at a state school, or $180,000 for all three. I was able to save $180,000 in just 4 years. No reason you can't do the same over 20.
In terms of cars $180,000 == 9 cars. So stop buying cars every 3-4 years and stash that money away in the bank. Then cancel your cable TV (it's trash) and your unlimited cellphone calling (luxury not necessity). That's $2000 saved per year, or $40,000 from baby kid to college-aged kid.
Cut corners other places like buying the smaller home for $150,000 instead of $250,000. Buy a $350 refrigerator instead of the $1500 stainless steel beauty, and same with washers and dryers and other appliances. And on and on.
As someone earning $60k a year before taxes (which I understand to be an above median amount), I've never owned a new car, I don't have cable TV, I'm still using the first cell phone I ever purchased, and my home was $120k. You are suggesting saving (assuming a biweekly paycheck) $1730 a paycheck, I think after taxes and everything I'm clearing just a few more dollars than that. I just had my first kid and the amount I can save has gone down to $50 a paycheck now. I cannot imagine how much extra 2 more kids would cost me. I think you may have a bit of a disconnect on the average persons earning power.
You would need a small handful of servers, and a couple people who could do some admin work (developers aren't often the best admin's, but it isn't rocket science to show the basics to someone with a clue), and if you offer it as a torrent, once it is seeded, the base servers can fall offline for maintenance / outages, and not have it impact the accessibility of the installer / latest patch, and your bandwidth costs are much more accessible. For things like a forum or authentication, the cloud is easily the best solution, especially for a funded Kickstarter project. By the time it starts to get expensive you are making enough money to increase staff, get beefier in-house hardware, etc, as your needs and capabilities allow.
Yeah, torture (your stupid euphemisms don't change what it actually is) doesn't actually work. As has been explained to your ilk ad nauseam, people will tell their torturers what they want to hear in order to end the torture, even if it's entirely untrue.
That is true, unless the person legitimately has something to hide. And even then torture does not work.

I'm completely in agreement with you, 1000 Gbps is not normal anywhere, but their are faster interconnects to be had than 10Gbit/s. Look into InfiniBand. It is challenging to even begin to saturate anything but a single link once you are playing with the modern ones like FDR 4X aggregate (unless you are driving traffic from a very large number of nodes, in most work loads I deal with the disk IO is very much the limiting factor, it still takes time to read from disk into memory, process, transmit, write, etc. The transmit is just a fraction of the time compared to disk IO).
In my experience, it is because they have to satisfy some legal(?) requirement of posting the jobs in the open, even if they already know who they are going to hire, or in this case move. Or perhaps fire and then rehire in order to reset seniority/vacation time/possibly even pay.
The *FACT* is, that nobody actually ordering said popcorn really cares.
The way you capitalize really sells your point well...
Some people own things like the the kill-o-watt wall meter because they want to know things. The establishment could post on something saying what the given nutritional values were, it isn't like they don't have the most insane markup of any nontraditional food court. Like the parent said it would not be difficult or expensive. Plus some people are generally swayed by raw empiricism. Finding out how horrible the toppings are, and how small the serving size really is, may just be enough to allow someone to make a more informed opinion.
Zero tolerance is not idiocy. Well, it's idiocy in the same way that George W. Bush was an "idiot."
Zero tolerance basically gives them a get-out-of-court-free card against racism charges when the school has to punish someone for some activity. Before zero-tolerance, judgement was used, and when black kids were punished for the some activity, there were almost always cries of racism. ZT ended that, because the policy is easy to point to and there is no human judgement to call into question.
When I was 15, I was removed from school and given a felony charge for bringing an Arkansas Toothpick to school. I brought it because I wanted to give it to my girlfriend (now wife) as I was going to get a bad grade on my report card and didn't want my dad to take it from me. The morning dean came around the corner and saw the knife, just as I realized that my girlfriends backpack wasn't long enough for her to close it up (the Arkansas Toothpick was just under 2 foot long and was sticking out of the top of her bag). Even after they investigated and found I had no issues with anyone, and was very much a normal kid, they still had no choice but to put me into a correctional facility (of which I was the tallest person, and the only white kid, neither 'should' matter but it made for some interesting days) and stick me with a felony charge. Keep in mind the same school had an after school fencing club, of which I was part of, and it was very much normal to bring your fencing gear to school (never mind the drama groups and their re-enactment swords of all sizes).
While I was at this facility, I was dismayed at how they treated the students. There was arcade games played for 1+ hours on days we were "good" (they had a full blown arcade, with an air hockey table and everything) and many days at least several hours of basket ball. Actual schooling/learning was kept to a minimum. No one was really trying to teach, it was like a vacation for young criminals. The least bad thing any of the other kids did to get in was steal a car... and here I was, because I brought 'just' a huge knife to school. It was an interesting thing to live through.
Being on the shitty end of the zero tolerance stick I'm likely biased when I tell you it is a bad thing. It allows the administration to stop applying reason and a measured response to issues, and instead turns teenagers into felons (with a poor outlook on society).
Yes, the output of the sun is enough, but factor in transmission loss of ~6.5% and that the conversion efficiency is only ~33% and it isn't so good, at only ~311 - 333Watts per m^2 of potential PV. Which really isn't that bad once I thought about it a bit more...
So if you want to legally look at kiddie porn you first get a job monitoring for it.
Basically yes. Go work at any ISP/webhost and you'll likely find several depts that end up dealing with those issues that end up having access to that... anything we took to the FBI and Legal would end up getting burned to a CD and stored in a vault... and the vault was often full... their are some things that you cannot unsee...
It's not obvious to me that it is true that a "grassy area" has less surface area than a wooded area. You can fit a lot of blades of grass in the space a tree takes up. Now, they say parks, so maybe they're talking about trimmed grass, but untrimmed grass can grow pretty high.
I assume you can push more wind through trees and their leaves than you can through grass. Like you said grass can grow a lot, but in my experience it seems it would be too dense and would just deflect most of the wind over the top of the grass. Of course, this is all speculation, I find it hard to believe this wasn't identified long before now. We have rather detailed real time maps of ion radiation used for many things including the detection of nuclear weapon use.
As a kid, I would go on hunting trips with my dad, almost every summer. During one of our trips, I was maybe 8, I asked him if they made such a camera, and he thought nothing of it, said no they didn't, and why bother since you can just get a real camera. He then quip that whenever he would carry just a camera he would see more wildlife then when carrying a rifle. It never dawned on me later in life (actually, I had forgotten the event until just reading this article) that it might actually have a market.
Now, take it to the next level. Have these camera gun's all get wifi and can do video (not just freeze frame pictures), and all connect to a central server. Then as "shots" occur, the server has them time stamped, and can do inspection on the images to see where the shot would have landed, and if it would have counted as a kill shot. Then just have the handle of the gun shake if it registers that you have been killed. Afterwards the server could take the feeds from the camera's and give a kill shot run through, perhaps using some video from some of the players who didn't have shaky hands or whatever heuristics you wanted to make... and ta da! You now have The Worlds Most Expensive Laser Tag game with extra video goodness!
I guess I'm not sure how SOPA and DNSSEC overlap, could someone explain it in a couple of sentences? Does DNSSEC hinder or help? I would assume hinder SOPA... I'm going to research more, but was hoping to get a quick brief from someone knowledged...
I might be wrong, but I feel, really feel like the flooding wasn't that big factor
but rather its great excuse to jack up the prices.
I remember similar story about RAM and Taiwan earthquake, when it was found out that damages to facilities were really minimal.
Wish it was a scam... but I cannot help but feel sorry for their loss. Please check out these pics, showing the damage done, I haven't been able to find any newer pics, but the damage is beyond bad.
Even with all of that internet facing bandwidth, I've got to imagine that the sneakernet trading of all things digital must be quite prevalent. Or perhaps I'm just remember what happened at all the LAN parties I went to during my high school years (in the 90's). I wonder if they take any precautions on such things or if they turn a blind eye?
