It appears the comment stream got merged with the article that discussed Mozilla's use of SeaMicro servers. Oddly enough, the Mozilla article now has no comments...
This ^ . I was replying to the low-powered servers article, not anything about some technologist named Kevin. I was referring to the fact that the article synopsis misspelled the word "at", instead saying "st", hence the intentional typo in my post.
Looks like someone did a global-search-and-replace on "happen" with "happy."
Reference Jonathan's answer to question five:
I'm doing this because I'm tired of my imagination being beyond what I'm able to make happy, and I'm in the fortunate position of being able to pay for it myself.
And question ten:
That part of it had nothing to do with me, so I knew there was nothing I could do to make it happy again.

Give it time. Eventually, we'll have evidence in front of us that quantum mechanics, dark matter, dark energy, etc. do indeed work as predicted by science-- because we'll have the products that rely on those phenomena in front of us. Does it matter that we can't prove that they are working such-and-such way? No, not really. If the dark matter propulsion system on your space ship is propelling you across space, either you admit that you have evidence of dark matter, or you believe in magic.
I was telecommuting out-of-state with no benefits for almost 4 years when I got tired of the job and the pay and found one 65 miles away, in the closest metro area to where I live for my wife's (higher-paying) engineering job. The new job actually paid almost exactly 10% (plus benefits) more than the old one, as I suspected it would, as I was pretty underpaid at my old remote job.
Even commuting 65 miles each way every day, assuming fuel prices between $3.00-3.50/gal (which it is in my area, luckily), fuel costs only soak up about 40% of the gain, giving me a net gain of about (60% * 10% = ) 6%, plus benefits. Wear and tear on my car is pretty minimal, monetarily, as I drive a 22-year-old reliable sedan, on which I perform all regular maintenance and break-fix work myself, meaning that it's pretty cheap overall. Parking at work is free, and my commute is a straight shot on two-/four-lane highways, regularly averaging 80 mph with no real traffic to speak of. I listen to books on tape while I drive, and it makes it pretty stress-free.
In addition, I actually *love* my new job, and although I am authorized to telecommute one day a week, I usually do it more like one day a month, when I have commitments (doctor/dentist appointments, etc.) near home.
Overall, I think I've come out ahead trading a 10% raise for a real commute, and I wouldn't take a 10% pay cut to telecommute full-time. I don't think I'd even take a 5% cut. I wouldn't take a 10% pay *raise* (putting my right where I am now) to go back to my old job, as I felt under-valued as a team member, and didn't have any potential for upward mobility. Here, I have awesome benefits, a decent commute (which may be shortened significantly in the next year or two, if an expected transfer and relocation with my wife's job comes through), and I feel like a part of a dynamic team with significant potential for upward mobility and regular over-COLA raises.
But I recognize that I am probably a pretty unique case...
RTFA again. The pieces moving aren't being thrown out, they're being used to determine the note value, and thus the rhythm the notes are being put in is being determined by the chess game. The rest of your points are valid.
I just checked my uTorrent, and none of my current seeds are to Comcast IPs (based on RDNS lookups)... Right now I have 180 connections to peers (not necessarily actively uploading to them all, but connected), and none of them should be within Comcast's network.
So to me, that means that Comcast is NOT filtering/blocking BT traffic on the business-class networks... So, if you have Comcast and you don't want them to block your uploading, switch to a business account (I ended up saving almost $50/month by switching because they were throwing in things I already paid for for free, and because I could cut all the crap I didn't really want on my phone bill when I dropped DSL). Or, actually, DON'T switch to a business account -- keep the heat off me.:)
The articles I've read on this all say that Comcast is applying these filters "across its entire network." Does this include the business-class connections?
I ask because I have a business-class connection at home (it's my home office), and I have a very healthy regular flow of BitTorrent practically all the time. Should I be seeing this issue? I haven't had any problem with seeding...
I'd imagine that they're primarily targeting residential service, as it's certainly the large bulk of BitTorrent on their networks, but if they're instituting this filtering past that distinction, i.e. their WHOLE network...
Anyone know? Is there any way for me to tell? Should I not be able to seed anything?
The hood doesn't open fully, it just pops a bit right before impact. The idea is that it will "give" more if it's partially open than if the pedestrian smacks into the closed hood and the hard engine block right beneath it. Think of it sort of like an external airbag... only made of metal... so not quite as good...
This man is a skilled sampler but horrible at drums (he never uses anything but one symbol--I mean, there's three or four others, try the ride!--and a little bit of hi-hat).
I'll drop the "symbol" != "cymbal" thing, and I agree that the video doesn't indicate that he has any talent as a drummer (aside from his proper stick grip and use of kick with crash, which could indicate knowledge, not talent).
But did you really watch TFA?
You didn't notice the hi-hat backbeat throughout the main drum riff? Not to mention the amusing ricochet of the stick off the china cymbal in the first section... oops, I just mentioned it. Oh well.

The next reply:
>Never watched UHF, or whatever that horrid movie was back in the early '90s I assume.
was in answer to the "Firehose" post, since it was apparently a reference to the Weird Al Yankovic film entitled "UHF" (in 1989, FWIW) where Stanley Spadowski (played by Michael Richards) has a children's TV show where the grand prize is to "drink" from a firehose on full blast.

All of those should be "happen" IMHO.

Real geek news.
Is there going to be any real news posted today? Or just all "jokes"? Kinda ruins /. for those who actually enjoy reading real news...
Okay, sorry. Let me rephrase:
:)
I'll let someone else address #1, #2, and #3, but #4 doesn't meet the "must be able to identify each student's vote" requirement. Better?
#1, #2, and #3 seem to answer the request nicely, but #4 doesn't meet the "must be able to identify each student's vote" requirement.
