Nearly everyone has something to record digital video these days so there are a lot of "prosumers" who could use as many cheap cores as they can get. Also most programmers are finally dragging themselves into the 1990s and becoming capable of writing stuff for more than one core. We are finally getting to the point where single core speed versus price is no longer what people are looking for in a home PC.
if we do 100 2x4 core servers or 50 2x8 core servers it's still 800 cores type of thing
For tiny virtual machines maybe, however cores per amount of shared memory matters a great deal for some applications. Even for those VMs there is a space, power and general overhead saving in having a lot of cores on the minimum number of motherboards so long as it doesn't get insanely expensive. As for me, I'm looking forward to having 128 threads running on a relatively cheap two socket board at close to double the clock speed multi-socket Opteron and multi-socket Xeon systems have been running at up until now. Being stuck on not much more then 2GHz for what seems like a decade has been disappointing.
File it with the one about the economist with a headline that suggested he said there would be no oil burning vehicles on the road in eight years - only he didn't. Headlines have to be short I suppose but so short they are misleading is a bit annoying.
Why didn't you bother reading the second line of my post before spending so much time writing what you did? What you wrote is all true but kind of irrelevant without a massive leap in technology. Multiple nodes is certainly not as fast as having it on one board, but try reading that second line to find out why it's still useful.
conflates the "stock market" with "the economy"????
Oh, right: journalists. I'd be unhappy as hell if my kids became lawyers, but kill the one that becomes a journalist.
That connection was especially amusing when there was reporting about China's new stockmarket which may as well have been a casino - booms and busts every day with only the house winning in the long term.
The ones in jail are a good benchmark. Of course you knew that but just wanted to throw mud at someone who is now politically irrelevant and is almost certain to never hold another political office for the rest of her life. Why bother? It's over and you got a Manchurian Candidate instead of business as usual.
Why is it Ok to share intelligence with Israel but not with Russia?
Go ask your Dad. I'm serious. If you really have so little grasp on how events of the last few decades have shaped things today perhaps you should talk to someone who has seen those events unfold.
That line is something I never expected to read from a "conservative" American and it kind of shows how all values and all lessons of the past are considered of less worth than incumbency. It should be more than just doing anything at all so your team can win - it should be about what values they represent when they are in place to do the job.
On the other hand, you had a guy who so far has not taken any political bribes
Perhaps not US ones, and offering bribes is a different collection of stories that would probably span many volumes about many places, eg.New Jersey "deals" with politicians to get things done etc. The one offering inducements to Castro was especially amusing - who would have thought Casto would be honest enough to both turn it down and not use it as an excuse to crow about the evils of American capitalism? The guy is slime and only in it to screw you over.
Being able to do an operation on an entire huge dataset in memory instead of a pile of fetching and carrying to do it on disk. Since the alternative is an order of magnitude (or several) slower a bit of latency isn't a terrible price to pay.
'Suicide Squad' it brought on the company that cut it to edit the whole film -- dropping the director's original cut altogether
Now that explains a LOT. That movie had some moments but there were a pile of characters that may as well not have been there - not to mention the weak unsupported plot and the hamfisted "message" shoved in our faces.
Instead of Will Smith's character being "redeemed" there was some really creepy shit about him being a good guy all along - nothing wrong with killing complete strangers for money while covered in Bible verses? Talk about living a lie. Imagine the same character covered in Koran verses to get an idea of how creepy it is.
I remember reading it in the forward of an edition of "Three Men in a Boat (not to mention the dog)" that came out not long after the first edition of 1889. The author was complaining about "Pirates" running a publishing company in Chicago that were printing and selling his book without him getting a cent. Clear copyright infringement. That's not 1701 but it's still a while back. Of course the reprint wasn't that old (it's still in print) but the forward is.
Here you go: http://www.convertunits.com/fr... The joke has got so old that someone has knocked up a conversion script for miles to football fields. Also the payload is around the mass of seven and a half Volkswagen Beetles. Libraries of Congress? I've got nothing.
Because it's a policy Murdoch has been pushing for decades in his loss making newspapers. They are his tool for influence which is why he keeps them fed from profits from Fox etc.
Due to bad patches and forced reboots on some machines where losing time in working hours was a serious problem you just had to turn off updates. The sensible thing after that is disk imaging then manually applying the updates (and waiting through whatever patch rollbacks are needed) every few weeks. The extent of the current problem is partly due to windows updates being very poorly managed and used as a vector for a new product that is in some ways inferior to the one it replaces. Some people did the necessary for them step of stopping automatic updates and then never took the time consuming steps of doing the manual updates. Microsoft behaved badly and lost trust, leaving malware to exploit other areas where MS has behaved badly with bandaid fixes later. Blaming the users doesn't get anyone anywhere. They had their reasons. They may not be entirely good reasons but MS should be working on regaining their trust instead of blaming them.
So an AC who hasn't even bothered to sign up is telling me to leave this site I've been reading since it started because I don't fit in? What you do for a hobby AC? Piss off rooftops onto pedestrians?
Maybe, but it looks like you've been sucked in and signed up with Stalinist pricks - not a good look and hard to ignore for anyone who gives a shit about Western values.
Yes but he's an incredibly small fish while others are left alone for the fear of upsetting the business end of town. I agree with you on him but see it as not a lot more than a token effort.
It's in Arabic script and has been translated both ways. Epic pedanty fail especially since you were calling them ISIS instead of ISIL, Daesh or Daash before anyway - but do whatever you like, I was only making a suggestion and agree with you about Anjem Choudary. However he's trivial in the situation - kind of like going after Jane Fonda when you really want to stop the Vietcong. IMHO freezing the assets of the people sending vast amounts of money and weapons to Daesh is more effective than putting small players behind bars to "send a message".
Seems like that would be complicated by bed sheets
It's only very large movements that matter so I cannot see how that would in any way be the case. I see the wristbands as being less useful due to them tracking the arms and so not being able to distinguish between an arm movement and a rollover, so a source of false positives.
The entire point is that it's a "useful idiot" detector when you see a sig like that. People who put democracy down like that are pushing for authoritarian pieces of shit to walk all over the majority of the population - they are "useful idiots" working for the wolves.
Democracy is a huge number of sheep banding together to stampede over a very small number wolves if necessary - to stretch the stupid analogy to near breaking point.
It's the sort of thing Stalin would have said so it's kind of ironic to see Americans from the "right" so in love with it.
We are still buying oil from slimy Daash supporters in Saudi Arabia (and please don't call them ISIS they like the name that implies that they own an entire nation).

Hang on, being annoyed about a President acting like an absolute monarch is undemocratic? Please explain.
Would you have put up with Obama doing this?

I really don't know why that got modded up.
They call it a "fabric" because there are several network connections instead of a single choke point.

Have you consider that perhaps the malware was more than a few bytes in length and different people started looking at different parts?

Good point - go directly for the metric that matters.

From your sig I thought you'd like the guy. He shares your view on democracy and is doing his best to destroy the one in Iraq.
