Your analogy is flawed. The guy with the gun would take $10 "administrative fee" After all, guns don't grow on trees, you know. In the interest of fairness, he would take $27 from you and give only $15 to the child.
But.. what does their device do to the upstream temperature (or the efficiency of any upstream machinery)? Waste heat is called "Waste" for a reason...
First of all, I'm glad the paper did not make the mistake of assuming that the n_1/n_2 ratio is equal, and therefore men do each 50% of the time. But this is immaterial in the long run.
Forget about this seat-up, seat-down business. I'm talking about those fuzzy seat-cover things they put OVER the lid. You know the ones I'm talking about; they add just enough thickness to the lid that when in the up position, it is balanced precariously, and the seat itself cannot be positioned upright. Those things are psychological warfare on upright pee-ers. (not to mention a potential dismemberment hazard.)
Also, those water-saving short bowls. But that is a discussion for another day.
LyX also has the best equation editor I've seen. It's not as pretty as the *Offices' equation editors, but you can enter equations in without taking your hands off the keyboard, and even insert TeX markup that it doesn't understand without messing anything up.
But most importantly: the equations are treated like part of the text, so there's no clicking madly around the edges of invisible boxes that occasionally disappear to the end of the page just to edit something.
The reason we don't have nuclear power can be summed up in one word:
Gojira.
People (in this country) seem to actually think this is a possibility. Also, the film, China Syndrome. We get a lot of our knowledge about things from face-dancing body puppets.
You're already losing 30% from the mirror alone*. 70%*40%= still big, but not nearly as impressive. You also lose all of the advantages photovoltaic cells have over mechanical solar generation: namely working almost as well in the overcast as they do in the direct sun.
Somewhere at the end of all those dollars, there are men with guns. and tanks. and long range strategic bombers. But most of that ordnance will not find itself unleashed upon your person or personal property.
I've never seen that argued successfully. Putting a page file in RAM? Zero benefit whatsoever,
Pagefile performance would be thousands of times better if it was a ramdisk. But you're right, of course, (and so was I if you read the sentence that followed) If you've got that much ram, why would you bother partitioning it when you could just use it outright.
The swap is like a speed bump. The server is heading to it's own fate with the memory leak, but you will hold off it's inevitable death for as long as possible. If you are lucky you can get in and fix that service without any other services on the box having any downtime.
I still think software tools would make a better speed bump: if a process uses too much memory, have it automatically re-niced, logged, and pop off an email to your cell phone or something. It's better to find out about your problems with a quickly fired-off email than by listening for thrashing. Furthermore, the swapfile seems to have become, instead of the useful speed bump you desire, a crutch for application programmers.
Further, you only have to cache ONE page with a password, or full plaintext, to make all of your careful encryption-based security irrelevant.
RAM is cheap. It's only costly when compared to disk, which is really, really, really, freakin' cheap.
There's a trick to this: don't ever start watching shows when they start. Most shows have about 46 minutes of actual show to the hour, so if you start watching 15 minutes in, you'll finish at roughly the same time.
And that would be better than just checking 'top' every so often and watching the percentage or having a program that automatically triggers when available memory reduces to a threshold, how? If the performance loss occurs, then you still get a performance loss. You want to catch such things before they become a problem. And if your solution to memory leaks is simply to restart the application, then you want the application to crash as quickly as possible. (or, again, better yet, signal termination when remaining memory is too low, log, and restart the application)
In every circumstance where you can say, "a page file would be good here" it can be argued that the page file would work better as a ramdisk, and if you're messing with that, why not just have that much RAM to begin with and have some utilities to properly manage memory?
Or just don't have a page file. I haven't seen a good argument for having any swap in this age of relatively cheap, multi-GB sticks of RAM. I suspect it's just a holdover from when it was the only way to do certain things. Can't recover what was never there.
They don't seem particularly more brain dead to me. At least today's artists aren't out committing treason.
(unless by "these days," you were comparing the last fifty years or so of entertainment to the 19th century composers and opera houses, but even then, I suspect a certain amount of rose-tinted optical corrective devices)
You should use ROT-9 followed by ROT-8 followed by ROT-9 again. ROT-13 is pretty weak, but if you use different numbers, apply encryption multiple times, your data will be much safer. TripleROT (9,8,9) is a standard by which all other methods are measured. All without requiring some fancy scheme concocted by guys with foreign-sounding names. Would you trust your security to a foreigner? with a beard?
Oh, and IIRC, withholding the password would be obstruction of justice (assuming they obtained a warrant for the data protected by the password, as per the 4th amendment)
Or, if you like the tactile feel, putting a physical keyboard on top of the table, and letting the thing automagically interface with it. It's not just for camera phones you know.
The original article stated that it used IR. I don't know where people got the idea that it was a conventional touch screen. The glass won't be custom cut though. It'll be mass produced. They'll make a few standard sizes of these things.
That is, if they sell.
The need a 'killer app' as good as solitaire was for windows 3.1 I suggest "Simon."
Meh. Just make sure you always transfer them to a "holding" department. Then have the phone system automatically disconnect them if you're in danger of running low on available incoming lines for legitimate calls. Think of your phone bank as if it were RAM. It's not doing anything useful at all if it's empty.
You can make a device for shooting people with things you find around your house. This is true even if your "house" is a cave in the woods. Further, the device will impart more energy per shot than a 9mm handgun would. It won't be quite as concealable though.
We have TWO years of lost. Stretched out over the next three in an apparent effort to make the fans go, "Meh, I'll just wait for the DVD set" and get the series cancelled early.

and.. how large is the parity stripe...
He'll sure show them.

We paid a heavy price, but we got what we really wanted out of that fight, so it's solidly in the "lost, but objectives achieved anyway" column.

Why do people insist on adding to the cromulary?

I think we made up for it by sticking an electrode in a rat's pleasure center and giving him control over the button.
Based on the evidence, I'd say it's not doing that great of a job.
Somewhere at the end of all those dollars, there are men with guns. and tanks. and long range strategic bombers. But most of that ordnance will not find itself unleashed upon your person or personal property.

But if you do do all this, you could be laid off and replaced with someone who'll maintain your code more cheaply.
