where you have a beowulf or other cluster and you just jam a bunch of these babies into a big raid array like box and then when one breaks you just pull it out and replace it with another and you don't miss a beat! hey you geniuses, someone get on this.
I accidentally sent myself about 200,000 emails one time when testing some code that emailed errors when something really bad happened. It's scary to think that I could possibly be sued for fat-fingering an email address.
With quantum computer problems like this will be a thing of the past. We will just say "locate all criminals" and then the quantum computer will do it because they know things without actually knowing them. We will tell them to find the crimincals but they will have already found them, before the criminals even knew they were coming. Quantum computers will also be good for telling us what TV to watch and then rather than just watching the TV it will tell us whether the show we were going to watch was any good. Saves time that way. And then they never really had to make the show because the quantum computer already knew if we were going to like it so there is no real point in actually spending money to make the show. At least, this is my understanding of how quantum computers work. I think you can also do floating point math up to 10 digits too, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
i have written multithreaded test for intel cpu's many times using hundreds to thousands of threads and see virtually no performance hit compared to a single thread doing the same computations. IE 2 cpu's speeds it up exactly 2 times. Are they claiming that they speed it up more than 2 times for 2 cpus? that would be a sweet trick, almost quantum computer like in it's ability to know stuff faster than it knows it
this is exactly what google does, but for websites. This is a necessary step for automated systems to extract "knowledge" from the Internet. Otherwise it is just a bunch of information that cannot be filtered to determine legitimacy or relevancy.
If you just pound like 5 beers in about 5 minutes you can get pretty drunk and still have your beer. It even works with light beer! And it's fun. I tried that century club thing where you drink 100 ounces in 100 minutes, except i thought it was 100 ounces in an hour. Needless to say I was pretty hammered, and also very full. Came very close to rejecting the last few. But it was awesome because I didn't need to drink like 15 or 20 to get really drunk! Highly Recommended!!!!!
http://news.com.com/2100-1024-986204.html They also are getting into the patent game. Google wasn't making much money before it started infringing on overture's patents, so who is right here? Clearly in no way can you make the case that google is the good guy. They seem like complete hypocrites right now.
the yen is big time in the dumper, anybody have insight into the yen/dollar to make sense how good a deal this is? for all I know you could get a new widescreen tv for $50 in japan.
what good is that? don't they actually want to store and retrieve the content? isn't the request just a header that doesn't need to be stored? if that is the actual wording of the patent then i'm not real worried
i have one of those via cpu pieces of crap and they run less than half the speed of a comparable intel. a simple integer calculation ran at about the equivalent of a 350mhz p3 on my 800mhz VIA. so I will give you 500mhz for your 1ghz via and that is still a total of only 5ghz total processing power, whereas you can get a stripped dual 2.8ghz 1gig ram dell PowerEdge 1600SC
for $1996. but i see your point and i agree as long as its not those crappy VIA's. you can get a $200 pc at walmart with a 1.1ghz duron, i am sure they crush the VIA cpu

i think your problem is your attitude dude. I have adhd and I can laugh about it. I think it's downright hilarious sometimes. Like the time this coworker came into my office and explained something to me for about 3 minutes and then i said "what?" because I didn't take in a single word he said. so he took a deep breath and explained the whole thing again and then i said "what?" and he was so pissed but we both just busted out laughing. I thought that was funny as shit.

I have problems concentrating on things i like too, like reading a good book. I often wander and "read" for several pages only to realize that I didn't really process any of it, so I have to go back and read it again. When you do something you REALLY like, you release a bit of adrenalin which gets the blood flowing which allows you to concentrate for a limited amount of time. If a person had to release adrenalin every time they needed to concentrate on anything then they would probably have a bit of an overload.
I have ADHD, how am i supposed to read all that

luckily I have never not managed people in my career, so I usually tell other people to do what I cannot. A lot of people with ADHD also tend to hyperfocus, so what I do is just crank out work during those times. Often that will mean working all night. I also occasionally take medicine which helps a lot, but I think it is just a bandaid, and it is also highly addictive. Diet is a big key I have found, but haven't found that perfect diet that gets me to a desired level. I think as a general rule ADHD has a major benefit that I haven't heard anyone else point out (although i didn't really read all the other posts, well because of that adhd thing). I think that ADHD forces you to learn things faster, because otherwise you will not learn them at all, and therefor not "survive". Also, since many things do not enter your long term memory, you are forced to figure those things out again and again. Your mind becomes quicker because it has to. I think it also helps avoid the waning of the mind over time. I don't remember a damn thing I learned in college, but I do not believe for a second that it was wasted time. I think that over time my mind has been trained and has become sharper, but it just hasn't retained knowledge. Because of this way I think that my creativity hasn't been depleted as quickly as others. Unfortunately this makes me a horrible programmer when it comes to consistency and following the rules and whatnot. But I think it allows me to create things that others cannot because I don't remember what you are not supposed to do. I don't feel I have the same limits as other people. Of course I also can't hold a conversation to save my life, so there are definite drawbacks. Sorry to all the ADHDers for all the rambling, you probably didn't make it this far.
Yeah, that's what we want, a president that uses 100% of his wits to wiggle out of stupid messes his cock gets him into. That's a great use of public time. Why not just tell people what you did if it's not so bad and then get on with it? How many 100's of thousands of people was Hussein responsible for killing? Bush had the support of congress for the war, did Clinton ask anyone about whether or not he could get a blowjob from an intern?
if he gets his money back then he is no worse off financially, and now he knows that they suck big fat major ass. Now he has a purpose in life, to screw them in the a-hole. You can't put a price on that. Plus, you can bet that the RIAA didn't come out ahead financially. They were probably spending $12,000/hour on all the lawyers to take down this one kid. But at least they got lots of positive press out of it. Nothing says "I love the community" more than stomping on the financial future of our nation's youth. I propose a national "hug the RIAA day" to show our appreciation to these fine people.
We ran reiserfs for a short period a few years ago because we were saving data to 10's of millions of small files, and reiser seemed like a perfect fit. We had to stop however because as we added more and more files, disk access slowed down more and more. It eventually became almost unusable and we had to switch back to ext2. How much faster is it now than it was then? Have you completely solved this problem?
