Depends on what he's doing over that SAN via gigabit link. If he's fetching large files, I agree. If it's the latency he's trying to reduce (say, SQL queries), SSDs will help immensely; even over a limited gigabit link.
The next person that's truly deserving of the Nobel peace prize (in spirit) is when that person declines it in front of the committee. The Nobel peace prize is a sham!
The "big boys" still have to compete with each other. No doubt they will use the same techniques that this teen has been using because it's cheaper. The problem everyone faces is excessive government regulations, certification, and insurance. Essentially, it's your own government that's robbing these wounded veterans blind. That, and the lawyers.
The cost of natural gas will soar through the stratosphere once these become widespread. It's bad enough when a spike occurs due to an excessive winter season (2005 for example). Early adopters will benefit. Everyone else will get fucked once LNG futures rise.
MBAs are extremely important in few numbers. But once you have entire departments full of them, they become parasitic by short-changing the company in order to make themselves and their position have a sense of value.
Maybe someone with an MBA can show us an MBA ratio bell curve graph with regard to company productivity. =)
Dogs, monkeys, apes, and dolphins are a lot closer to being human than a computer ever would. And yet, we still don't know why there are gaping holes in the way some animals think and act. In fact, we still don't understand human beings all that well for that matter. What makes anyone think we can just program AI to understand us? If genuine self-ware AI is to form, it's going to be one of those moments "nature" takes over. We are not going to code it into place.
PC types conflate culture and race. I for one do not. Culture and race are two entirely separate things. I was just illustrating that when you speak of black culture, there are assholes out there that derive power by stifling decent via dropping the "race card". Specifically the PC types.
To clarify: EFI precisely is used because it can be tune throughout the RPM band and load with precision. Reference fuel map tables and open/closed loop operation.
You can't just cut your skull open and replace your brain with a new one. Not unless you want your memories (and thus your identity) to go bye-bye along with it. Perhaps you were just joking. But in all seriousness, your brain defines who you are. If you can't take care of it, what's the point in repairing the rest of your body other than to ease pain and suffering? If you mind goes, to hell with the rest of your body.
Political Correctness implicitly states that culture and race are the same thing. Of course, that's not really true, but the cowardly among PC types still stands stedfast to conflate the two. So, if you mention black culture, you will be chastised as a racist!
Assuming teleportation can even occur (physics and energy requirements aside), expect it to be used exclusively for non-organic transport first. I'm expecting a lot of accidental transportation happen before it's deemed safe enough for people.
As another poster said, other laptops will use the battery as a temporary "capacitor" (buffer) to take the spike in load upon demand. For example: when you spike all cores of the CPU to 100% usage from idle when kicking off a video transcoding job. Many AC/DC adapters can't buffer the spike in current. That, and my surface mounted components in laptops don't carry enough capacitance to offset the load spike too.
Foreign SMTP traffic being blocked at the ISP level. Home IP block ranges being blackholed. PTR records not provided to home accounts. All these issues are solved using a Smart Host. Unfortunately, depending on the monthly fees, it might be cheaper to just upgrade to a business class ISP account or host your e-mail elsewhere.
I've only had to setup Smart Hosts for clients with an SBS box that was in rural parts of America. Sometimes netblock ranges were blackholed and/or PTR records weren't supported at the ISP level for their DSL connection. And they were lucky to even have that for connectivity.
Are those Akamai servers hosting updates in Comcast's networks on behalf of Microsoft? Or, are these Comcast's owned and operated Windows Updates cached servers? It's it's the later, I'm curious to know how Microsoft feels about not being in control of this process.
BTW, would be nice if Netflix had local cache servers at the ISP backend. But being it's in direct competition with Comcast's own VOD services, I'm sure that's not going to happen anytime soon. Not a technical issue, but one of competition.
Well, it will definitely be a case of nature vs nurture now won't it? In any case, clones are a bad idea. The copy will always suffer genome degradation over the span of many generations. Something akin to making a copy of a copy in the analog world. There will be errors in transmission. In fact, it's why all living things eventually die. You can only divide the cell so many times before it dies of corruption, or becomes cancerous and kills the entire organism anyways.
I haven't read the report. But it's pretty obvious that biological warfare is the poor mans "H-Bomb" in terms to inflicting loss of life. There's extremely smart people all over the world that calculates latency, mortality, and contagion rates for all sorts of nasty stuff. Now with modern computers and genetic programing, God know what kinda of shit has been made. Honestly, I don't want to know!!! If it's going to be doomsday level stuff, ignorance is bliss being that we can't stop its development anyways.
"paid time off" is called -vacation time- where I work. But it has to be scheduled in advanced to coordinate with the remaining staff's schedule too (workload balance and scheduled projects).
I work for a small company, so they're pretty flexible; within reason. For example: I wasn't sick, but someone needed to look after my son as my wife needed to go to the doctor. I could have taken sick time, but I opted to make up for missing half a day by fulfilling the missing 4 hours of work at night. In the end, I would meet or exceed my 40 hour work week regardless.
Even managed access points are a hack to work around the limitations of WiFi spec. SonicPoints from SonicWALL work beautifully in a rural office. Put this solution in a building on the 20th floor downtown...,forget about it! Dropped connections and packet loss galore. Even the SonicPoints will tell you it's a noisy environment. Aside from breaking the spec, you can't fix that with any solution. Well, except one. Use WiFI canceling material in the wall surrounding the parameter of the office and some metallic window tinting.

The media in the US is by and large very conservative.
Ha ha haha haha ha haa ha! Damn, that was the funniest thing I've read all morning. Just FYI, the media sucks the dick of the Democratic Party!!!

Ah, but I am. People remember other people when introduced in person. It's an extrovert thing. I doubt you would understand.

Because at the end of the day, human beings are social creatures where a handshake in person still means something in business.
Smoking and drinking effects all of your body; not just your heart. Most importantly, it effects your brain.
FALSE! The NSA cares more about your data than you do!
Hydrogen is great stuff. You just need to store it bonded with carbon. Do it right, and you can make butane for fuel cell usage.

Take it a step further and let me run my laptop off a Bic lighter or two and i'll be happy.

Duh! Why would anyone want to bite the hand that feeds?
