Isn't it interesting? That's essentially a megabyte per second, or more data transfer per second than the total amount of computer memory Gates talked about in your homage...
I do think that we're reaching a point where it's hard to actually use all of the bandwidth available to us, just like it's hard to use the CPU power available to us, and to a lesser extent, the memory and the disk space. It's easy to waste CPU power and the rest of the computer's resources though, as programmers don't feel the need to optimize what they write to get as much capability for as little math as possible...
Or get a wall-mount cabinet with a door on the front and the back that mounts to the wall, something about 36" tall, 36" deep.
Leave a service loop to allow the rack to swing open properly.
I strongly recommend Cat6a with appropriate connectors. I also recommend considering running innerduct and adding pullstrings so you can later add. You might also consider pulling some OM3 or OM4 patch cables to use as horizontal fiber cable. Also pull the phone wiring to the same location, and RG6. There are modular patch panels that use keystones instead of fixed 110 blocks on the back, so one could put any of the four types of connectors into the patch panel. You would want angled faceplates in the rooms so that if you ever did use the fiber it wouldn't be at as much rich of being broken off.
No there's not. There's a push to limit collective bargaining, that's not the same thing no matter what the TV told you.
TV didn't tell me anything. History did. One worker versus the company has no power, no authority, no ability to create incentive for the company to do anything. Most of the workers though, they have the ability to have power and authority and the ability to make the company do something when it's needed. Things like adjusting wages for the standard of living. Things like making the workplace safe. Things like having enough positions to that employees don't work themselves into early graves.
I am currently not a member of any union nor have I ever been, but I do support the right for employees to unionize as necessary, and if I wanted I could join the union at work. I haven't felt the need, so I haven't joined yet.
This is the kind of thing that I think needs to make the news, the differences between workers' rights in different countries, especially as there are more pushes to reduce workers' rights in the United States. I'm gathering that Brazil is one nation that has gone through a similar process that the US has, with a labor movement that secured legal rights for workers. Obviously China is still figuring that out, and I am not surprised when Chinese companies run afoul of labor laws in other countries when they take production overseas, as they've never been forced to reform at home like these other countries require.
The more reforms China forces on their companies the more expensive those goods become, and the less desirable it is to send manufacturing there. It's a race to the bottom only retarded by workers everywhere forcing conditions to change.
I've wondered, since this came up in the news, how those poor, poor employers screened candidates in the old days, before they could readily get information from Internet search engines, social networking sites, and inexpensive background checks.
Oh, right- they had to actually talk to them, and had to evaluate them after they hired them, and had to consider firing them if their professional lives had problems...
I had never even heard of Stampede Linux when you posted this, and I've been a Linux user since 1995 when I had to buy cheap CDs from the local computer store that were distributed by Walnut Creek. It's obscure enough that Wikipedia doesn't even have a page for it.
Slackware has at least has the history to have been continually in existence since '93, almost since the beginning of Linux itself. Mind you, I and a whole bunch of other people jumped ship over the Libc5 debacle and I ended up on Debian where I've remained since. I would be saddened to see Slackware go away, but it wouldn't lead to a loss of purpose in my life.
If analytic thinking decreases religious beliefs, then I'd say religions should feel quite secure in today's world.
Unfortunately now that they know this, they'll push ignorance even further. Remember, for a very long time even in the West there were theoretical criminal penalties for Atheism and apostasy, and while in most Western nations those outright criminal penalties are now gone, there's still a vast social stigma for those who actually declare themselves to not share in the beliefs.
It's weird. Religious services attendance, arguably a core tenant of every Abrahamic religion, is way down in the United States, while lots of people still call themselves religious. Religion, especially among Christian religions seems to have become a team sport, where people who have no actual connection- they don't go to church, they don't tithe, they don't follow the rituals at home, they don't even read the materials- still support a religion and claim to be part of it. They will sometimes outright fight tooth and nail against someone who also does all of these things and has only one difference, that they've actually stated that they actively believe against the religious concepts, while both have identical participation.
I would like to see a marketing push- actively tell people via TV and radio that if they don't go to church/temple/mosque that they're apostate athiests too. Call it a put-up-or-shut-up position. Maybe it'll piss off enough people that they'll either get involved with their religion enough to actually learn the rules and follow them, or they'll finally say, screw it and acknowledge the pipe dream. Probably won't work that way, but one can always hope.
Consider this- Hotmail is a very high profile and widely used e-mail system that theoretically is profitable in its advertising for its owner, and has a lot to lose immediately by being thoroughly exploited in the potential for a rapid loss of users to other non-fee email systems like Google and Yahoo, and they still didn't take any action to resolve this until disaster was literally looming
The federal government wants to require actual critical infrastructure to be security vigilant and is getting pushback from industry, again critical infrastructure, not even some silly free-ish service, to try to avoid the expense.
Corporations, by and large, do not share interests with the public. Corporations are there for profit for shareholders and management first and foremost, and due to extreme myopia in those sectors, where the quarterly profit rules supreme, spending money on things like security are not considered necessary because they don't make profit, rather they cost money. Worse, utility companies and other infrastructure companies aren't high profile; most people don't give any thought to their electric supply beyond paying the bill unless it ceases.
Corporations are not looking out for your interest, unless you happen to be one of the very few people who has any real amount of money tied up in them.
Hate to think what happens when you fill the superhydrophobic tank in a space ship. The screaming,.. it's.. painful..
Huh? It's not like balls of water are going to go shooting off at high speed- it's probably more like the surface of the tank won't have any liquid sticking, and when the tank gets full enough, the fluid just takes on the tank's shape. If anything, given the corrosive nature of many liquids, its possible that subjecting the tank to too much pressure could result in friction from the liquid despite the hydrophobic nature, leading to wear and permanently losing that hydrophobic nature.
I don't think that the problem, as originally stated, has anything to do with time though. It looks like it's based on raw distance, and while that's a bit of a fallacy in of itself, it we start adding factors the difficulty really increases.
I do agree that time is probably actually important to a travelling salesman, and the cost to make the trip would matter too, as fuel is consumed differently at different speeds including while idling, but that'd be a whole lot of extra variables.
I thought the point of the actual mathematical problem was to mathematically conclude the best possible path, with the understanding that it wouldn't be real-world achievable but that one would use that as a guideline to strive for.
This little game they came up with removes the math portion of the experiment entirely, and while it adds the acceleration changes due to mass, one could have just introduced those acceleration changes into the original problem mathematically.
I don't understand what the little game is actually for. It's not entertaining enough despite their attempts to compare it to Crazy Taxi and others, and without there being math involved in plotting the route I don't see how one practices the theory beyond a child's level.
There are very few people who have any real wealth besides what's on paper. Even those in illegal economies like drug dealers have their money stored as paper. Not many have their wealth in tangible goods, and many who have tangible goods have luxury items like diamonds.
Take away all of the paper and all of the records instantly and I'd guess that 99.9999% of the population would be within spitting distance of each other, wealth-wise. Ironically, farmers would probably be the best off, if they have equipment for production and land.
What the hell does Creationism have anything to do with my statement?
I'm pointing out the same fallacy as global warming versus the number of pirates.
MS-DOS was worth billions of dollars, and it was a hackjob because the creator of CP/M wouldn't give IBM the time of day and they needed something NOW.
Google was a research project that proved phenomenonally successful yet started out simply.
Apple was from a few hardware hackers building illegal devices in a garage in the suburbs.
You don't know where the next killer app will come from. In this case, if Instagram was the first company to do this truly correctly in the technical sense, and if Facebook wanted this technology NOW, then we're back to the same scenario as a bunch of hackers in New Mexico ready to fulfill the needs of a giant company from Armonk.
I don't think that the Cloud stuff is a bubble so much as it's a fad way of renaming existing technologies under one umbrella label.
You also have something different in Cloud, in that businesses actually have a product if they're offering Cloud services, whereas dotcom companies generally did not.
Not having a loan also means having the option of having more disposable income when raising children, or being able to have a work arrangement more compatible with personally raising kids. It also means that if one is absolutely fed up of one's job, one has the choice of leaving when one doesn't have to worry about where to live.
Our current loan is financed at 3.75%. We're well aware of the benefits of having a very inexpensive loan. But, even if we had the cash to invest or to pay a chunk of the loan off with, we'd seek to "recast" the mortgage to have both the lion's share paid and to have ridiculously low monthly payments, instead of investing, because owning a home is a sure thing, while investing certainly is not. If anything, we could buy third property and rent that property out too, like we did our old home, and make even more money. But, we're not worried about that, and since we're not terribly greedy people, we're not looking for every possible avenue to make money.
