He should be able to come up with some answer involving "hashing", "keys", and "buckets". I honestly have no idea how you would know how to use a hashtable if you didn't understand how they work. Unless you're doing really basic "programming", you're going to have to know how to use a hashtable or key/value storage.
It still doesn't make any sense given that context. Ignoring the fact that the explanation was retconed in once people pointed out that a parsec is a unit of distance, the conversation that took place.
Ben: Is it a fast ship?
Solo: It's the ship that did the kessel run in less than 12 parsecs! I've outrun imperial starships! She's fast enough!
In relation to a question about a ship being fast, he responds to something about a shortcut? I don't think so, I think the writers made a mistake in their terminology.
Partially correct. Both are illegal, but the fines for distributing material are much larger than just downloading. It's similar to possession of drugs vs drug trafficking.
the ipod was the main apple success. it was the first thing they put out that took market share.
The iPod didn't take off until the iTunes Store was released. It took market share after the iTunes Store was released. That was 2 years after 2001, when CmdrTaco posted about the iPod. During 2001, the iPod was not very popular, and the NOMAD was the MP3 player to beat. When iTunes came out, the iPod crushed the NOMAD.
There is a strong correlation between iPod sales and the iTunes Store being released. Either it's a coincidence, or the iTunes store had something to do with it. I'm going to wager it's the ladder.
Or that the windows release didn't increase the popularity that much. The 2G sold about double the units, while the 3G sold easily 8 times the units of the 2G. So you could attribute windows to doubling the sales, and iTunes to 8x the sales, and it just skyrocketed from there.
Please explain to me what Apple saw back in 2001. iTunes store opened in 2003, two years after the original iPod. Apples success came from iTunes, not the iPod. People bought the iPod because they wanted iTunes. Are you suggesting because CmdrTaco in 2001 didn't guess that Apple was building an iTunes store 2 years into the future, somehow that makes him smug?
Your point? The iPod didn't become popular until the 3rd or 4th Generation models. The first generation was also mac only, and second generation windows support was awful.
A the time, the Creative Nomad Jukebox was selling more units than the iPod, it took several years and several generations before the iPod caught on.
Plus another 40% which gets spent on "Education", which is used pretty liberally, since money spent on advertising themselves is considered "Education".
How is that the responsibility of Apache? If the problem is mod_php, then the installation docs/installer for mod_php should be telling you to crank the MaxClients down.
The defaults are fine if all you do is serve up static files, which is all Apache can really do out of the box. It's when you start adding modules like mod_php that you need to start cranking MaxClients and the like down.
I'm pretty sure Christmas was a Christian holiday before it became the Hallmark holiday it is known as today. Although a good number of Christians do still celebrate the original in it's original intention.
I would say not only that, but anything that was written in COBOL that was buggy trash has been thrown away and replaced with newer software. The stuff that still exists has stood the test of time, and there is no business reason to get rid of something that already works.
If you did the same analysis 20 years ago, the numbers of COBOL would look similar to the numbers of Java today. I'd bet money, in another 20 years, something else will inevitably replace Java, and Java will look as bug free as COBOL does today.
You don't seem to understand how conspiracy theories work.... The evidence is that the evidence doesn't exist anymore. That's why you know the evidence was real.
Yeah seriously. Many times have I copied two folders on top of each other, knowing ahead of time that both sets contain duplicates in the other set, and have to click that dialog box to overwrite/ignore what are essentially copies of the same exact file. Why Windows can't just decide for you is beyond me.
I guess technically they could have different permissions, maybe? But Windows could always check their permissions against each other to make sure they were the same before deciding to ignore the file.
I'd find that more interesting than a game where I can plow through hundreds of enemies and regenerate my health as long as I stand behind a wall. Showing some of the futility of war might give people some more perspective.
Intel desktop (Core/Pentium/Celeron) processors don't. You need to get a Xeon UP/DP workstation processor (same socket as the server processors, but have a larger TDP and run at a higher clockrate) in order to get ECC. This is a "Pentium" branded processor, and not a Xeon that has ECC.
This would not have been feasible, which is why it didn't work. the idea of a carrier pushing through a wifi network with enough coverage space is laughable. The 3g/4g wireless spectrum operates entirely different than wifi because wifi is limited in many ways..
The point is, we can all sit around and throw ideas and himhaw back and forth, but if things don't pass engineering/financial spec the don't get done. Applauding Jobs as a visionary for an idea that failed on technical and financial merit is kinda stupid.
The success was in the not doing it.
Why don't you have your own little success by not posting?
I agree the US is dragging behind in comms, but I disagree with letting municipalities be the carrier for the last mile. That creates a completely different sent of problems since you're just making the cost a hidden cost in the form of taxes.
I might have agreed if you said let municipalities lay the fiber, and allow carriers light the fiber (and pay a lease fee to the city), at least that way you're not creating a government run monopoly over the network, that way there can be some real competition carriers. There is a natural monopoly not because it's impossible to lay fiber, it's very expensive, and there is a lot of risk in doing it. Google's gigabit to the home showed that there is a demand for it, but nobody is willing to pay for it. If somebody thought they could make money by laying their own fiber and selling it to customers, they would. Except it's not profitable, so they don't.
One carrier, one medium is the same problem we have today, and certainly isn't the solution to the problem.
Why do you think IPv6 means everybody will have gigabit internet access to their front door? Those two things are unrelated.
As far as access goes, the last mile is the largest cost by far. The cost of everything in-between is insignificant in comparison. That's why it costs $1/Mbit to get network access in a carrier hotel, and $10 to $100 per Mbit to get access to your front door. The cost to lay the fiber to your home is nearly the same whether you buy 1Mbit or 10Gbps. Why you buy 100s of Gbps at a time (which large datacenters do), you can get bandwidth really cheap, since by that point the majority of the cost is equipment, and not the last mile. Equipment scales somewhat more linearly compared to the last mine costs, which are the same no matter what.
Datacenters will never go away, since economies of scale dictate that bandwidth there will ALWAYS be cheaper.

The iPod took off with the Windows-release, which was well before the iTunes Music Store.
Wrong. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/Ipod_sales_per_quarter.svg
Windows release was in late 2002. You can see here that iPod didn't really start to take off until 2004.

I would have mistaken them for miniature figures if you didn't tell me it was CGI using ray tracing.

It's the responsibility of mod_php because the typical deployment scenerio has a default that's too high.
How is that the responsibility of Apache? If the problem is mod_php, then the installation docs/installer for mod_php should be telling you to crank the MaxClients down.

No no, with religion, the evidence is there, you just don't have enough faith to see it yet.

Those are Xeon branded processors, which has nothing to do with the Pentium brand.
