You hit the nail on he head with negative interest rates. The current reason any investors accept negative rates is because it is inconvenient to move large sums of money into cash. When they make it impossible to go to cash, they can really push rates into negative territory.

People scale for how much they project to sell. Hence loans. Very very basic stuff here.

1. Set up OpenVPN on the datacenter Linux server to act as your Battlefield endpoint (single IP + port). 2. Set up 2 VPN connections, one from each phone, to that box. 3. Set up a Linux box to act as a router at home. Use bluetooth or whatever to connect it to your mobile connections. 4. Follow the directions here http://www.lartc.org/autoloadb... on how to set up iptables rules as needed on both Linux boxes. 5. Modify the iptables rules as needed to your specific requirements. 6. Keep on modifying iptables. It will take days to work out all the kinks. 7. Verify that your latency problems still exist.
Windows is a platform that sits on the NT kernel. Debian is a platform that sits on the Linux kernel. Platform is a word you can bend all you want, but operating system has a tried and true definition.
The not-so-arbitrary line is quite clear: If it runs in kernel space, it's low level. If it runs in user space, it's high level. If you don't know what these terms mean, do some reading.
There is blurriness in systems like Minix 3, where the kernel dispatches quite a bit of work to user space services. But even then, the dependencies (code paths) make it clear what is the OS and what is not. There is no such blurriness in MSWord or fsck. The NT kernel has no dependencies MSWord. Similarly, the Linux kernel doesn't need any of the code in fsck to perform its work.
why not blame the people who write the higher level utilities rather than the kernel itself?
As soon as I saw it was CNet, I knew immediately it was going to be one of Don Reisinger's completely clueless articles. The guy is orders of magnitude worse than even Dvorak.
You'd have maybe 5 and fill them as your mood dictated.
I once had a MiniDisc player/recorder. It came with the "MP3 download cable". Which, as it turned out, was just a USB audio playback device. Filling 5 discs "as your mood indicated" meant spending 5 hours in a recording session with the thing.

I have a feeling the new controller will be more like Nintendo's VirtualBoy in terms of success.
OK, so the headline is a bit misleading. But then it's completely cleared up in the sub-caption: "Up to 60% of the code... is set to be rewritten." That means somewhere between 0% and 60%, which is unarguably true. Certainly, they don't have time to rewrite 61% or more of the code! Indeed, I would call this article the finest example of technical reporting I've ever seen by anyone anywhere ever.
Since I'm pretty sure there are no human beings on the planet that can tell the difference between a normal CD and a SACD or DVD-Audio in a blind test (apart from the additional channels, I suppose) this is not the same thing.
I'm pretty sure there are no human beings that can tell the difference between DVD and HD-DVD in a blind test either!
The records are time stamped and 99% of selects are constrained by the time stamp "ts>'...'". My guess is that inserts skew timestap index statistics and it becomes useless.
Be careful with timestamp comparisons in postgres. I'm not saying this is definitely your problem, but there are a number of scenarios where your index might be ignored. For instance, comparing a timestamp column to a dynamic function, like some offset from now(), requires the function be evaluated for each row, thus requiring a full table scan. Also, there appear to be some typecasting issues in comparison that boil down to the same thing. I believe you can end up with a full table scan if you compare "timestamp with timezone" against "timestamp" types, or other types that autocast. Use EXPLAIN to see which queries use the index and which don't. Keep in mind that the Postgres query optimizer is dynamic, so on a table with few rows, it may surprise you and do a full table scan.
first, in todays day and age, what is not facing the web? ls, rm, cat, echo, ln, find, grep, vi, tail, gcc...
second, doesn't that make the JVM an extension (of the OS) whose sole purpose is to run the apps? No. VMs can, and frequently do, exist in user space. No OS extension.
but the OS isn't secure! so the VM on top of that very same OS is? Yes. Sort of like encrypted network channels running on unsecure networks. Please provide some Java code that's vulnerable to a buffer overrun exploit.
it almost sounds like packing on some cake-ey layers of makeup on top of wrinkled up skin and expecting it to fix the wrinkles Almost.

Shh, you're ruining someone's narrative about how VCs are just big pools of dumb money.
