Great. Eventually the flies will decide they like human brains more than ant brains. (Seems like a no brainer to me). Then we'll start to see people dragging their feet, kind of looking like they'd missed their morning coffee, for a few days... Final stage: You hear someone shuffle up behind you, then hear BRAINNSSS. Thus begins Zombie Apocalypse...
The Rackable name is recognized in certain spaces that have nothing to do with "Silicon Graphics". If they wanted to take advantage of the SGI name recognition overseas and within the US supercomputer arena, they should have used it in combination. SGI a division of Rackable Inc. I think you get the idea.
A shipping container is only about 160sqft (20') or 320sqft(40') to begin with. Add 6" (and you'd need at least 6") of insulation and you're losing around 15% of your space. The only way to make it liveable would be to paint it silver or white, insulate, open it wide up with big double or triple pane windows for air circulation, and weld a couple of them together. Yeah, I know that's what the parent poster's link was doing....
Did you consider the possibility that when you gave them the serial number on that laptop that it turned up on their list of computers reported stolen? Did you ask them this?
Ever lived in a shipping container? I've worked out of one, converted into a temporary work space. They're hotter than hell in the summer (think solar heated oven) and bad in the winter too.
Note that I'm intentionally ignoring the pretty pictures in the linked to page
on the contrary. The word bomb was used. I've exploded a few caps in my time; and, while they make a mess, I would not qualify them with the word "bomb".
No one uses assembly any more, not on a desktop platform.
Only place you'll find it is embedded device code or in special cases as inline code chunks within drivers, compilers, graphics code, etc., where you're trying to tweak the code to run "just so" because the compiler keeps building it "wrong" and you know this other way is better/faster/more correct.
It has to do with the 64bit OS and the context switching between the code running, the virtual OS and the VM. When they moved to the 64 bit instruction set, as I understand it (and please correct me if I'm wrong) the virtualization became clunkier and it became more difficult (and hence slower) to protect your VM from applications running in the same mapped memory space.
telling them script kiddies can turn it into a spam relay is lame. Tell them that the script kiddies can steal their bank account and tax information. The thought of having their accounts wiped out and their credit trashed is usually sufficiently scary.
You keep using that word. I do not think this word mean what you think it means.
The caps and the burning circuit board do not meet mydefinition of bomb. Macgyver abhored violence, but, in an emergency, if I were thinking like Macgyver, in addition to the computer you'd some steel wool, ammonia, and some... yeah, that'll do...
Yes on the Tennessee whiskey, no on the Bourbon. There are rules... (27 CFR 5)
Not any whiskey made in America can call itself Bourbon. Bourbon is made, by law, with at least 51% corn (typically 70%) but can not be 100% corn. It can't be distilled to more than 160 proof. It must be aged in new charred oak barrels. It must be aged for at least four years. And so on. If it doesn't meet these definitions, it's not Bourbon.
Tennessee Whiskey is, as you said, filtered over sugar maple charcoal. And yes, George Dickel and Jack Daniels are the only ones who mass produce it. They use different grain mixes and the methodology is different of course... Technically, I believe they meet the definition for bourbon otherwise.
There are American whiskies, rye, single malt, corn (>80% corn), which do not meet the definition of Bourbon and can not, therefor, be called Bourbon.

I can't understand it either, as I sit here, very carefully typing, going 17,880 MPH around the Sun.
As an American born son of a New Zealander... What's wrong with Vegemite? I thought it was supposed to be used like cream cheese.
They haven't decided yet. Either Mauna Kea, Hawaii or Atacama Desert, Chile.
Time to call AAA...

Were painted with silver roof paint. Still sucked.
Never mind. I re-read the blog and realize now that they're just being asses.

Forgive me, my brain dropped out for a minute and I wasn't equating HEP with High Energy Physics. I was equating it with another, similar acronym.

Someone had to write the C compiler. It didn't magically write itself, you know....

Not specifically HEP but how about MRI and PET scans used in both medicine, medical research and materials research.

Tennessee Whiskey = Bourbon for the nonconforming nonconformist.
But just to confuse matters:
Jack Daniels spelled it whiskey
George Dickel spelled it whisky
I prefer the George Dickel No. 12 or the Barrel Select myself.
Yeah, well Pizza Hut is wrong.

They had a bit more money to work with, and were heavily leveraging the fear of the imagined threat posed by the Soviet Union.
