Wow, sucks to be you. ISDN channel bonding was well known and I personally used it to achieve higher speeds than you could on a single channel even over a single TCP connection. The bonding had nothing to do with the modem/circuit actually and in reality was just a standard feature of the PPP protocol called multilink-PPP. You can still do the exact same thing today with multiple connections and pretty much any PPP client on ANY OS on the planet.
Of course, ISDN is actually 2 64kbps data channels and a 16kbps control channels, as it was meant to carry 2 voice channels, which by standard, are 64kbps data channels, so I'm guessing you really don't know that much about it in general.
Then you setup your load balancing on your LACP links incorrectly for what you were trying to accomplish. Choose a different implementation for pathing and you'll get total aggregate.
The problem you're refering to is a problem with the implementation of LACP you're using, not the specification itself.
We weren't there. We didn't hear what was said. We don't know how offensive it might have been.
It was so offensive that ONE person said ANYTHING about it.
Women live in a culture where the NORMAL response to reporting rape or sexual assault is to be asked what they did to provoke it
I'm not sure what country you live in, but PyCon was held in my country, its called America, and women haven't actually felt that way any time in my entire life, and my understanding is that it was that way some time before I was born as well. How many times have you been raped and had someone ask you what you did to deserve it? Perhaps the problem is you and what you believe rather than reality.
If you wanted things to truely be equal you wouldn't be treating sexual assault differently than any other kind of assault. You don't want to be treated the same, you want to be treated the same when it suits you, and special when it suits you better.
You are not a normal woman, you're just a bitch with an agenda. You're an insult to women.
TIMMAH (of Southpark), while obviously handicapped is not a douche. He in fact is often insightful and considerate in his actions, sometimes the most intelligent of the bunch. He may not be able to articulate his thoughts in words other than his name, or control his limbs with any sort of precision, but he is clearly not an idiot.
timothy aka Tim Lord regularly demostrates that he knows next to nothing about technology, has absolutely 0 ability to verify any sort of facts about a story or otherwise provide any sort of meaningful contribution to the community or indeed the world.
Your post is perfectly funny and spot on...
But, you're insulting the Southpark timmy, not the slashdot timmy. Thats the sad part.
You do realize saying that makes it clear that you're an obnoxious douche, right?
Before you post your reply justifying it, read your reply, memorize it, and remember that next time you right a reply like that... it too makes you look like an obnoxious douche.
I prefer a manual myself, my car actual cost more because I special ordered it with a manual (it was a high demand vehicle so they all came with all the 'features' since they could sell them over sticker price anyway due to demand, so I had to pay a premium for getting a special order). I know exactly what you're referring to in passing.
Its your fault.
Okay, not really. Its just that you don't drive an automatic so you don't instinctually give the toes in your feet a little wiggle on the gas peddle before you prep to pass. You just mash the gas when you are ready to go, and since the car wasn't ready, you have to wait through the gear change, though its not like you lose all power, you just don't have as much.
Someone who drives them regularly will know to trigger the auto to downshift to passing gear (it really is a 'passing gear' as its something between '2' and '3' that you can't directly access yourself) before you pull out to make your pass.
It goes the other direction as well, it took my wife a bit to stop over-reving the engine when she'd go to pass when I was teaching her to drive my car. Instead of lifting off the gas when she went to change gears to pass, she pushed on it. She'd lift off when changing gears normally mind you, just not when passing.
My biggest problems driving automatics is having somewhere to rest my right arm. It feels unnatural to not have the shifter in my hand when driving. I'll regularly grab the shifter in an automatic when sitting at a stop light and give it a shake to 'confirm its in neutral so I can take my foot off the clutch' that isn't there... Obviously I realize that its not a manual at that point, but the habit is hard to break:)
Now... the bit about the bicycle... whats that about? When Europeans rent in America or when American's rent in Europe? Pardon my ignorance but could you explain to me what the difference is? Do we ride our bikes different or something? (I'm clearly an uncultured American;) but I would like to lower those level of uncultured-ness)
At 5 years of daily driving, I'm 110% positive its overdue for a change. You're also implying you get AT LEAST 175 miles out of every single charge to get anywhere near that life time, something else I don't buy. (I'm ignoring any reality of what you have and basing these numbers on the ideal numbers on the ideal batteries, of which I would bet a couple pay checks on your car not having as those would cost several times more than your entire car)
Of course, I know something about batteries, charge cycles, and how the chemical reactions over time cause permanent changes that no amount of silly stories you make up will change.
No matter what you read, your car does not have a battery that lasts as long as you claim it does. Fucking nasa doesnt' even have batteries that perform at the level you're claiming. Sorry. You can make up some shit and point me at web pages all you want, but its still not going to make it true.
The only exception I know of is the Subaru Boxer diesel, whose vibrations are largely self-cancelling.
All flat engines with even number of opposing cylinders have natural vibration canceling abilities. The only way to get less vibration (naturally, without extra dampening measures) is to dump pistons entirely and go to a Wankle or turbine.
And lets keep in mind that Benz 'invented' the flat engine, though personally I would argue that it was the obvious design from the start.
Yes you can. The cost of diesel fuel is more than the cost of gasoline, so any cost savings you think you have, you don't. Its not like the gasoline version got 15 mpg.
The Jetta's milage comes from being direct injected more so than running diesel. It is a relatively efficient vehicle from the start, its diesel milage is actually pretty shitty compared to what it SHOULD be in relation to the gasoline turbocharged direct injection version. Not saying its bad, but it should certainly be better.
No diesel truck driver pays what you see on the pump price for diesel.
They are all part of fleets and pay, in general, about half what you see at the pump as the diesel price.
Pump prices are high for diesel because people started switching to diesel to save money due to is increased milage. 30 years ago, in the 80s, after all that shit that happened in the 70s, you could be diesel at half the price of gasoline. And manufacters started producing more diesel cars... and people bought them like made... and within a few short years, the price per MILE (not gallon) for diesel and gasoline became almost perfectly aligned.
Again, truckers don't pay that much for diesel. Just a couple years ago I was doing a delivery route to help out some friends and they had a commercial account with a local fueler... it was on my route, but about 1 mile off the main roads in an industrial complex (which of course has much trucking and no normal consumers) and the price per gallon there was less than 75% of the cost of gasoline. It would have actually been cheaper, but it was partial bio-diesel, so you pay extra to be another one of the ignorant trendy fucks who think corn makes a good fuel source.
The price of gasoline AND diesel is artificially inflated by the OPEC oil cartel. They charge the absolute most you will pay for it, and thats why diesel at the pump costs more.
Unless you live in Utah, Montana or the Dakotas, I call bullshit.
Diesel is easy to find if you open your eyes, there are enough cars in America that use it that while its not at EVERY gas station, you can bet if its not at this one, its at the next one or the one after that. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean its not there, you aren't looking for it. There are billions of things that happen right in front of you every second that you don't notice because you aren't looking for them.
If you can't find diesel, you probably can't find gasoline or food either.
Lame, I can drive my car (a manual) while texting. You steer with your knee.
You need to get your priorities straight, and perhaps a good drug/drinking habit. You'll learn fairly quickly that you can free up your hands and eyes for all sorts of things while driving!
No, fanboy. Its given away for no dollar amounts because the entire community expects someone else to do their work for them. Linux is in no way free, contrary to how you like to warp the usage of the word. It comes with some very well defined restrictions, and those restrictions tend to attempt to infect everything around them, which is a fairly high cost to everyone who doesn't thinks they can live in a fantasy hippie commune.
Its rather hipocritcal and ignorant of you to pretend pushing your political agenda is different than Microsoft pushing theirs. The reality of it is you don't give a flying fuck about 'open' so much as 'I don't have to pay for it'. And so does 99% of the rest of the 'free software' community. Pretending its about being 'open' is just a farce used to push your agenda via deception. If you cared about actual freedom, you wouldn't be fanboying for a license organization.
While this sort of qualifies as 'for nerds', I fail to see how something that anyone with an ounce of common sense and passing interest in current technology events would consider this news.
No, if we built one today it would likely out live its mission plan as well. The difference is, it would not out last its mission plan ridiculously long periods like Voyeger. Thats a good thing, it means the design is closer to the intended design rather than being more than it needs to be.
When dealing with space, overbuilding is a tricky situation. Yes, you want to over build it so you KNOW it going to work in every possible situation (which of course is impossible;), but you have to constraint that if you actually want it to get off the ground.
Over shooting your mission goals means you probably spent a lot more money than needed to get it into space int he first place.
Voyager was meant to be overbuilt as a testbed for 'how long can we keep talking to this thing and how long can we make it work?!' Probes like Curiosity and Spirit on the other hand were not, and so while overshooting their goals is good in one aspect, it indicates possible flaws with the designers not fitting the specs and wasting things they weren't supposed to.
Sometimes this sort of overshoot happens due to a discovery that makes the new spacecraft suddenly far more reliable than ever expected, and thats a good thing. But just designing something that lasts longer than its mission goals is, when taken alone, an epic failure when you're talking about thousands of dollars per kilo to launch.
None. If you work the math, its current estimated speed has it slowing down and falling back in to Sol rather than actually being caught in some other gravity well, as far as known gravity wells go. A perhaps unknown one of course could change everything.
That was my thought. Take out student loans, go to school, get one of these loans after you get out, use it to pay off your school loans, default on this new loan, wait for it to come off your credit record in 7 years. Far better than having that school loan that stays on your record forever otherwise.
Uhm, they most certainly only want to give loans to people who can repay it.
If you don't repay it, you wait 7 years and it goes away. That is not profitable for a card company. They don't want those people. They want people who can pay it every month.
Their goal is to find people who can pay it back, but have never learned self control and want to spend money before they get it.
Its not about 'need', its about greed. Its about wanting to put the cart before the horse.
It is most certainly not about finding people who will default on their loans, as you seem to think.
Please never talk about school loans again. You have no fucking clue.
Writing off interest means you take a minor deduction on your final earned income, that means you get to save about 5% of the interest paid. Its not like you get it all back. You get a TRIVIAL amount of it back. They haven't been low interest in years, not since a BS became the new GED. Secondary education is a business, not a public service.
Non-payment of them stays on your credit record forever. You may be able to cheat yourself into government forgiveness... which means I pay your fucking loan instead of you paying it your self.
God I wish idiots who make stupid fucking statements about school loans would be hung up and shot. School loans are good for banks, no one else, you're an idiot if you don't understand that.
Must be getting a lot dumber. I'm willing to bet an insane amount of money relative to my income that the credit cards companies are FAR FAR better at predicting who to loan money too than any Googler. They have the advantage of having Googler level employees, years of experience, and financial greed driving them.
You can not predict what they will be worth in 10 years, they don't have any idea what they'll even like NEXT YEAR, let alone 10 years.
Once you get a little older you realize that the person you were when you got out of school is entirely different than the person you are 10 years later. Its well accepted fact that no one under 25 knows who they are, and no one under 30 is really sure who they are.

If you clean the sulfur out of the fucking fuel it doesn't stink either, and sulfur is way worse than the CO2 output as far as greenhouse gases go.
