I think most farmers would disagree with that premise.
I think most farmers would agree that much more skin is shown now than in, say, 1935.
Bikinis and halter-tops and mini-skirts wereknown about and worn by a tiny fraction of women. Standard dress (with variations, of course) was a long skirt, blouse buttoned to the neck and a matching jacket.
"For the next twenty years I'll sit in a big box called a cubicle. It's like a restroom stall but with lower walls. I spend most of my time hoping the electromagnetic fields from my office equipment aren't killing me."
That describes every office worker, no matter what his/her job.
Well, ok, the higher up the chain you get, the bigger your room, but the EM is still there.
And besides, in most cases CPU doesn't matter. Faster disk, more RAM, faster net connection more RAM and more RAM go a long way before you get around to needing faster code execution.
You left out the most important item: better algorithms.
I have always believed that writing good, clear comments/documentation is more important than writing good code.
And then a change order comes in which subtly alters the meaning of the code. Unfortunately, the dumb ass who was assigned to the task, since you were on vacation, didn't update the comments.
So, remimd me never to work on the same code you do.
Quite thinking like it 1990. If you have a data center that is dependent upon one machine being up 24 hours a day then you have a data security problem. The problem is your planning. All your eggs are in one basket. Any real data center will have at least 3 machines so one can be taken offline and the other can continue to do business. In fact, it is counter productive to have a power machine so tied to one infrastructure/building. You want less powerful machines spread out across a large local. Therfore, your argument is less relevant about the facts of integrity and more about people buying in stupidity.
Your arguments are the same made by DEC during the 1980s, regarding VAXclusters.
I don't know anyone at all who's a real album-art-and-liner-notes kind of guy.
This reminds me of the story of the Manhattan Upper-East Side intellectual who is supposed to have said, "I just can't understand how Reagan got elected. I don't know anyone who voted for him!"

Liberals are people who can read 1984 and Animal Farm and still think it doesn't mean them.
Snicker.
Just like Dubya does it.
WTF does that mean?
if the US actually invaded a european country
Like, ummm, Yugoslavia?
He'll be on the ticket within 8 years, I promise you.
Ain't gonna happen.

Happy Bondage/Discipline??

Most women
Shit. Most men in IT don't have the appropriate analytical abilities to excel in IT.
focusing on doing it for girls only is blatantly sexist and should not be condoned.
So naive! Sexism is only evil when Republicans do it, not when women and Democrats do it.
(Yes, I know, the seminar was in Canada. Substitute appropriate labels where necessary.)
If I'm building a RAID server today, I'd use 2-300GB SATA disks and a SATA RAID card.
RAID with only 2 drives?
Unless you want mirroring (RAID 1), that's totally stupid.
A holy war will never impact the The Borg's bottom line. Better software will.
MSFT isn't, though, lying down. It will fight FLOSS on both the legal and technical fronts, and there will be (metaphoric) blood spilt.
- Have anywhere near the manufacturing capabilites of Intel.
This just as important to Dell as anything else.
In that case, the dumb ass should be moved to something else.
Yeah, but getting a beauracracy to do something like that is difficult.

Why would you? There's always going to be a highly specialized, small team working on a particular piece of code.
You're still in University, aren't you?
here in the UK, and I'm led to believe, most of the rest of the world, if someone calls me on my mobile, they get charged for it, I don't.
That's pretty whack. I'm glad it's not like that here in the US.

They are still valid with VMSclusters.
I'm so sick of my Linux boxes crashing
So stop using crappy hardware!
They're positioning Opteron for the cheap end.
They can't be so stupid as to realize that the "cheap end" gets more powerful, faster than the "high end" does.
After all, that's why the minicomputer industry was born 45 years ago, the non-hobbiest PC 25 years ago and Sun killed the minicomputer 15 years ago.

It only states that if it can, it will deliver.
How can you ask for anything more?
The sending host cannot guarantee that the host it wants to send to is up, or even that MQ is even running on the other system.
You are 30 (or 29), and say, "I was pimp"?
'nuff said.
I remember thinking I was pimp having two drives.
You weren't even born yet, loser.
If MQSeries can't deliver a message, it puts it on a dead.letters.queue. I am not impressed.
You mean it doesn't do store-and-forward, in case the receiving host is down?
