And also this kind of tracking is already happening in other fields, for example the Superstores like walmart et al. I have seen an open space of 20 or more persons, all querying a gigantic database made of each and every sale slip from every shop in the country.
They produce geographical maps of soda consumption, correlate with average temperature, football games, whatever . And if you pay with the shop's buying card then your personnal data is taken into account as well.
I really doubt this is a legitimate use of human intelligence, but that's just my personnal point of view;)
Hmm no, given that the offer comes from the french historical telecom operator it's more something like :
"we know you are all leaving from our paying phone service since our competitors are all offering net tv and phone bundles for almost nothing compared to us so look at this shiny new offer why, now you can stay with us for the phone also "
The current trend in France is users joining new phone operators, the phone service having been a state monopoly until recently. Given the high price of this new offer i doubt it will change anything on this aspect.
If you stat average CPU consumption over the servers of any big size datacenter chances are you will be very surprised by the results.
I did this for a company with over 2000 unix servers and averages were : only 20% of the hosts would use more than 30% of the CPU...
It's a known fact that for most of the projects the hardware is super sized over what's really needed, and this is one of the main advantage of virtualization : it is seen as a cost reduction process.
Your list includes different antivirus ( AVG Anti-Virus, ClamAV and avast! ).
It may be worth saying to windows incults that you should not install more than one AV (or FW software for that matter), since these interface deeply with the windows "kernel" and this will cause problem.
The money i make i own it with my work, which is, in a way you seem unable to understand, very different from speculating in the "stock market" alongside the cocaine bmw call girl crowd you seem to admire so much . Try it : working, among other good and bad things, gives a sense of usefulness and will make you see the world in a different way
The reality of the stock market is that while you retire at 35, drive a S.U.V and eat all you can, enjoying your life of leisure, the whole rest of the world is dying from disease, lack of water, oil wars, recycling your old computers, you name it, all in the name of NASDAQ, profits and your american way of life.
ah ah isn't it funny how your self confidence is making you look like a wall street cocksucker ? Or maybe you don't know how to read ? Here, i'll quote myself, take attention:
It's not because wall street morons do it that you should too .
What i am saying is exactly that : suddenly using the yuppy NASDAQ symbol when you are not a trader makes you sound like a no brain moron . And when you're a trader too, of course, but then that is expected.
Now sorry i have to go trade my ZKO warrants over the short term RTT market . Get your jumbo jet off my airport !
I'm sorry but i find it ridiculous the way everyone sudendly calls google : GOOG.
It's not because wall street morons do it that you should too . Now if it was called GOO i would find it sort of funny, but GOOG ?! C'mon that's just lame.
put one controller in each hand and start punching and blocking like in real life
Ah ah... This always crack me up : video games are for slackers and couch potatoes. Real life fighting means at least leaving your basement and going to practice some kind of sport... (well yeah ok, there's DDR... that's a little different;)
nope. you say this because you are a coder but what i see from real life ain't that pretty. coding contractors with high turnover provide no maintanability and in the end our hierarchy almost always decide to hand over the project to an inhouse ingeneer, and there are no full time coders on our team.
In a word, bull.
A company of that size does not NEED to use black hat techniques.
Yes I agree. Always keep on the clean side of the techniques, especially when working for big corporation. It's not the same when it's for leisure, or if you do it to test things out. But when in the work place, I refuse to use black techniques.
They have the money to do things the legal way. And yet many of those corps play real dirty in a hudge amount of fields, ranking from industrial spying of competitors to physical threat over politicians... Don't play that game, cause if it fails you'll be the one to pay.
Someone at the web team of bmw is going to be looking for a new job real soon...
bwa ha ha, you're so full of it .
Sorry, i have a meeting with all those embryo persons i work with.
And i hope my embryo pal is ok for a tennis tonite . Or maybe he will be busy fucking his embryo wife .
I've chosen one that is entirely based on wind and hydro power
From what I know from these alternative providers it is more likely that they are selling you standard energy but guarantee that they invest part of their profits into producing the same amount of energy they sell you with clean technology.
This could mean that the energy you are using is still dirty, but that you are contributing to the growth of clean energy in the total energy produced. But it depends on what your energy provider is really doing, and it appears they are not equaly serious on this subject. So choose wisely your provider if you don't want to be just paying more for no other result !
In this aspect it is my belief that reducing dirty energy (including nuclear) must be pushed by state and government if we want to make a real difference.
Sociologists aren't making predictions about you, they make predictions about the average behaviors of average groups of people.
bah, the only problem is that sociology never ever meets most of the basic statistical conditions for the tools it uses thus making itself an empirical moquery of mathematics.
Who cares about musical genre anyway ? Who needs these useless categories, they are just boxes for the mind when real music is just about the opposite...
Are Black Flag Punk or Hardcore ? Is Ministry Industrial, Punk or... New Wave ? Are these genre tags including a "Progressive Punk Jazz Mayhem" category for John Zorg ? I say just drop those lame classifications:)
Remind me never to do business with a company who are that lax with security.
Maybe you should also consider not consuming the medecines they are manufacturing ! What if all those FDA approval papers are corrupted by a disgrunted ex worker , he ?
The fact that she compares capital death to abortion is a classical extreme right manipulation. What it means is : "It's OK to be anti abortion because abortion is a crime, the same as death penality".
The fact is that death penality is already abolished, so this stand is just a low brow attack agaisnt abortion. You can be sure that no governement of Boutin and her friends would have abolished death penality. Despites what she says, the extreme religious right she represents in in fact in favor of death penality, although she tries to appear as the little honest lamb. She is the tree hiding the forest and you should see thru these make believes.
This disgusting comparison of two uncoraleted subjects is the venom the extreme right is pourring into society. It speaks to the lowest instincts with an apperance of reason, but its true nature is oppression, racism and hatred. Fight it with all you've got or you'll end up being one of those braindeads.
What the representants that rejected the government bill to ban P2P really want is to impose a new monthly tax that will be given back to the artists, kind of like what is done already with radio broadcasted music. Gee... what a not so great idea !
It is also important to note that among those so called pro P2P stand some of the most right winged politicians, namely Christine Boutin, known for her brain washed positions against abortion, homosexuality et al... You would think of some better advocatee to defend freedom .
IMO this pro P2P stand is taken by a bunch of know nothings politician that just want the free exposure and a chance to look modern and up to date, as the majority of the population here is pro P2P. All this noise is a real shame too as you would think that after 2 weeks of urban riots these people would have some more important things to care about.
One good thing tho is that the actual "ministre de la culture" who is a total dick is in a real bad position now, being defeated by the left and right of the parliament.
Rest assure that the right wing government will promptly deal with this situation and burry the problem fast.
i don't know for sure if they are fearless, but from the article it's obvious they are deaf :
And to test learned fear, the mice were exposed to a loud sound followed by a brief electric shock from the floor below them. A day later, normal mice froze when the sound was played again. Stathmin-lacking mice barely reacted to the sound at all
yeah, and the most important of all : WATER.
Dump everything even vaguely connected to soda (including fruit juices, power drinks et al) and drink WATER.
You're not really hungry, you just need the food break. So eat twice a day with good products ( fruits, veggies ) and find yourself some good mineral WATER:)-
A database server that is compiled to 64 bit code will have access to much more RAM, and thus have much better performance if RAM bound (which many DBs are)
But all the real unices and cpu already are 64 bit, so if you need such a thing chances are that you are runing some commercial Unix and dedicated hardware to deal with it .

What were the I/O loads on those machines, though?
Well more and more of the storage was SAN based thus solving this issue with yet another virtualisation layer !
For some other hosts this was a problem but more on a "case of disfunction" basis.
If you stat average CPU consumption over the servers of any big size datacenter chances are you will be very surprised by the results.

Oh i'd gladly give 80% of my nothing to anyone that wants it. No problem .
