"If you're so worried about your wife seeing your calls to your mistress, get another phone. "
Why do people assume this? If I want to delete a call, it must be to cheat on my wife? Can't someone throw a surprise party, or maybe just remove telemarketer calls i don't want in the log?
"I grant you it shouldn't be hard to delete a single call as opposed to the entire log, I cannot imagine needing to do so."
well i'm glad you're the foremost authority on what everyone needs to be able to do. I've been looking for you for awhile now and I'll be sure to consult you before making any decisions in the future to see if I need to do it or not.
"I suspect that people will more fully understand how it affects them when they look at their next bill.;)"
I'm not sure I understand, you mean when they look at their bill and see how few minutes they're using?
VOIP always worked on wifi, so whenever I was within wifi range I could make unlimited calls completely for free without using any minutes. Now that it's working over 3G I can make calls anywhere for free and people can call me for free over skype. This will save me hundreds of minutes a month and will allow me to drop to a much lower plan.
"I'd guess that living closer to work will have a much larger effect than buying a different car."
with the current job market people would be moving twice a year to keep up. Might as well just get an RV and live your new employer's parking lot until they go bankrupt and you have to change jobs again.
"And after the 1.6 billion hours, does the computer self destruct? Just curious"
Sorry I'm back and I have answers.
The Oak Ridge "Jaguar" Supercomputer is the World's Fastest, with 37,376 six-core AMD processors. That puts it at 224,256 processors, so those 24 million hours should be done in 107 hours, or a little more than 4 days.
The 1.6 billion hours comes from the here:"....computing facilities at Oak Ridge and Argonne national laboratories will employ a competitive peer review process to allocate researchers 1.6 billion processor hours in 2010." That works out to be about 297 days.
Not sure if I like this method of measuring processor usage since a project that took a million hours in 2001 wouldn't take a million hours in 2010 but that's what's in the article.
Oh and to answer your question: no, it probably doesn't self-destruct but it'd probably be replaced since I'd imagine if 1.5% is anywhere near my hypothetical 41 days then that'd put 1.6 billion at about 7.4 yrs.
"This looks like a game to me, no matter how strictly you define "game":"
er, well I usually define a game as something I can play and interact with for the purpose of entertainment. Futuremark is a 3D benchmark so there is no interaction. It provides entertainment about as much as super pi does when you're benchmarking your CPU's performance.
"The standard whitegood market, where everything is cheap and disposable."
I agree, cheap multi-core processors suck. Oh how I wish I was still paying $1000+ for a few mhz!
before you bash the plebs for their naivety remember to first thank them for your $100 quad core 3ghz cpu because after all, without millions of them buying CPUs to chat on the tubes Intel and AMD couldn't afford to make new, faster processors.
"CompTIA certs only impress people who don't know anything, and are helpful to get you through the HR screening by pasting it on your resume."
And who is checking these things? I've been putting A+ and Network+ on my resume for 10 yrs and no one has ever doubted me and, as far as I know, I've never lost a job because of it. I took the classes and found them to be dreadfully easy "this is ram, it goes in your computer..." or "this is a token ring, a form of network that's not often used". So I didn't finish either of them.
I've had HR mention "Oh you have your A+ and Network+, that's nice", but no one has ever said "What year did you get those?" So how many people will actually bother paying $50/yr to "maintain" their certification and CE credits?
What about it/.'ers, have you ever had a problem with a company wanting a more recent CompTIA certification?
"The problem is that the Iphone is the only phone where "jailbreaking" is necessary to get basic functionality working"
Correct. Something as simple as deletingacall is not possible on the iPhone without jailbreaking, which is shocking because on every cellphone I've used in the past 10 yrs I've had the ability to delete a phone call from the call log and it's a feature iPhone owners have been asking for since 2007. If you want to remove a single call you have to delete the entire phone call log
Honestly I don't know how anyone can use their iPhone without jailbreaking it, unless they're not really using it as a smartphone so they're not installing applications, using data, etc.
"Not if you have a magic time machine back to 1999."
Funny, because in 1999 I was year away from finishing my BS in CS (love saying that) and I got a tech support job to help pay some bills paying ~$20k/yr ($10/hr). Half the people I worked with already finished their degree, but instead of programming they're answering calls on how to install DSL, and a few months later the entire project was shutdown and everyone was fired so they could move it to India.
"This is *really* stretching for a church/state link."
Agreed. It's not forcing a religion on anyone. I really don't understand this quote from the article: ""It's wrong, it violates the Constitution, it violates a number of federal laws," said Michael "Mikey" Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, an advocacy group that seeks to preserve the separation of church and state in the military....."This is probably the best example of violation of the separation of church and state in this country," said Weinstein. "It's literally pushing fundamentalist Christianity at the point of a gun against the people that we're fighting. We're emboldening an enemy." "
Huh? How does this violate the constitution? Sure I could see how some soldiers might be upset, I wouldn't want to carry around a weapon with part numbers referring to verses in the Koran, but I don't think it violates the Constitution. Just ask the company not to offer any more sights for the military with the verse numbers in the part number or risk losing their contract. I think they'll remove them to keep their 500 million dollar contract, and if any soldiers are really complaining allow them to swap for a different sight. Not that huge of a deal really.
"Unless that particular nurse has an atypically bad record for forgetting, it is unlikely that firing her will improve the quality of the system as a whole very much. Instead, such safety critical systems should be designed to take human error into account."
Maybe prosecuting her for murder would help reduce human error? Do you think saying "humans are flawed, deal with it" helps?
Unfortunately there is no system that can eliminate human error, and I'm sure at some point the nurse was told "make sure this shield is in place before treatments". You can put all the checklists and maintenance and safety toggles in place all day but when they ignore the checklist and safety toggles at some point you need to suck it up and start charging people with murder because firing them and sending them to another hospital to kill another patient doesn't really solve the problem does it?
However I'd agree the system could be improved: how about requiring a second operator to double-check the machine before the treatment is delivered? Ultimately it all comes down to money, is it cheaper to just keep killing people or implement a more reliable safety system? Until it becomes more expensive to kill people then it does to create safety systems they will continue to kill patients. This is why I support huge lawsuits against doctors and hospitals, because the faster we reach that killing/safety threshold the faster we'll reach a system that saves lives instead of taking them.
Ok I'm wasting my mod points to respond to this because it needs a response. If you are truly in the medical field and work your a$$ off every day then you should be excited every time you hear a doctor is being sued for malpractice. We need to get rid of bad doctors. These patients are people, living breathing people, not cars that will be scrapped someday or can be replaced for a few grand. There is no excuse for mistakes. Equipment that can kill or maim should be double and triple checked. The nytimes article had an example of a women that was overdosed for 27 days. 27 days! There is no excuse for that.
Now I understand the nytimes article you posted about a lawsuit where supposedly the doctor did no wrong but lost his practice anyway, there are families that will sue doctors no matter how excellent the care was, but you can't have it both ways, you can't have a perfect system where only the bad are punished and the good are rewarded. Like the saying goes, "If you want to make omelets, you have to crack a few eggs"
I hope to god these doctors and hospitals were sued into non-existence. "Oops, my bad" works when you spilled the milk, not when you killed someone.

If I had a billion to invest in tech stocks I'd go apple. The iPhone still has less than 20% of the market share so it has a long way it could go, and I think once people get iPhones they might give os x another look.
"So how long till it makes its way to Droid - if ever at all? I don't mind exclusive deals, but it'd be nice if they wore off after a few months."
Exclusive deals? Where in the article did it say they signed an exclusive contract with Apple?
The reason you won't find this on the Droid now or ever is number of devices and number of people paying for software. As of Dec 2009 the iPhone has had 78 million sales, and this number does not include millions of iPod Touch out there. Compare that to 800,000 Droids sold and it's obvious why it's unlikely any company would put any effort into developing software for Droids, it's a 100-to-1 ratio, 1%.
Would you make a program for 1% of the platforms, or 99%?
And that's why Droid has failed. Developers see $$$$ in iPhone and Touch, so they make the software, and the consumers see all the software on the iPhone so they buy iPhones.
It's a repeat of the 90s with Gameboy vs Sega Game Gear.
And let's not forget hardware failures like the Droid only having 256mb for apps. 1999 called, they want their storage size back. iPhone started with a minium of 4gb, and the latest 3GS is only offered in 16 or 32gb varieties, which is needed when games like The Settlers want 300+ mb.
I'm sorry I didn't mean to turn this into a anti-Droid rant, but when you see everyone and their 1 yr old baby with an iPhone and you stubbornly turn around and buy the opposite, don't be surprised when the developers create software for the phone that everyone and their baby bought.

"Many residential homes in the US have 100 amp service.
Most have 200. 400 is usually available at extra cost.*"
*citation need
Got it right here, says you're wrong
New construction homes get 200 amp, but even as recent as 2006 builders were providing 100 amp and 200 amp as an upgrade. This electrician in Wisconsin recommends 100 amps for house under 2,000 sq/ft. I don't exactly know date when 200 amp became the standard for new construction but it's clear 100 amp is the norm for your average pre-owned home. 400 amp service for a residence basically doesn't exist unless you have extreme circumstances, like you were dumb enough to buy a 15kW tankless electric water heater (idiot should have bought gas) that's sucking down 130 amps when in use.

" And after the 1.6 billion hours, does the computer self destruct? Just curious."
Same. 24 million hours? There's only 8,765 hours in a year, so what is that, about 2,500 years?
So I googled it. Apparently supercomputer hours aren't people hours, they're processor-hours, so 1 processor working for 1 hour is 1 processor hour. 24 million hours means (# of processors) * (# of hours) = 24 million. For example, (24,000 processors) * (1,000 hours) = 24 million. So it could be done in 41 days, not 2,500 years, if they have 24,000 processors working on it.
Not sure if I like this method of measuring processor usage since a project that took a million hours in 2001 wouldn't take a million hours in 2010 but that's what's in the article.
