Also, have a look at how mysql deals with varchars. There is no 255 byte limit
Before Mysql 5.0.3 the limit was 255 and 65535 afterward.
when length exceeds that value, you just go to 2 bytes of length, etc.
It does this because each column defines the maximum length for the varchar and the number of bytes used for length is fixed for each column. This however is also overhead, this information for the size of the length field needs to be stored for each variable. In C this means that each variable now has even more overhead (the actual amount depending on how you encode such information).
If I'm not mistaken, this law now requires the ISP to keep records of what IPs you're routing through and terminating into.
I have seen absolutely no sources for this, all quotes indicate that only the ip assigned to users is logged and not what ip they connect to. Of course, journalists get more ad views from the social network outrage circuit if they basically lie about the bill but none of those have provided quotes that agree with their lies.
So they selected anti-social people who at the same time were highly social in joining fraternal organizations? Sounds perfectly and utterly non-contradictory.
I somehow doubt Newzbin 2 paid the large amounts of money needed to have lawyers represent it's side in court. Even if they did, I doubt every other website that someone dislikes has that kind of money on hand.
So no, the evidence for both sides was most likely not heard.
A bit lower but the fatalities they had were very early in the program (both Soyuz and space flight in general). Since the craft has been redesigned over time one can argue, as someone else said, that the current iteration has a 0 crew loss rate.
There were many other non-fatal incidents but the Soyuz is basically absurdly sturdy.The rocket beneath it can explode on the pad and with a few second warning the crew can survive. It can begin reentry pointed utterly the wrong way and still survive. Hell, it can reenter still strapped to the service module, aimed the wrong way, let the heat of reentry burn off what's holding them together and still survive. The crew may never be fit to fly again but they'll survive. If the Space Shuttle program was run the same way as the Soyuz program there'd be no shuttles left.
You don't even remember what you posted do you? Or the discussion at hand? How sad. I guess, I have to talk to you like a child, so be it.
Here is your first post:
A magnet on top of your CPU? Sounds fun. Good way to relive your last LSD trip.
To this someone replied the following, obviously alluding to existing cpu fans which contain magnets:
If you think there isn't a magnet inside your existing cpu cooler, you are in for a surprise.
You follow up with this, obviously referring to the distance between the magnet in a cpu fan and the processor itself.
There's a wee bit of a difference between a magnet that's several inches away from your CPU, and one that's less than an inch away.
The last post is where I come in, my comment being only to point out that your statement was idiotic since many cpu fans (and thus the magnets in them) are right next to the processor.
So yes, the whole discussion as far as my comment was concerned was about fans. Well, magnets in those fans but they're one and the same in the context of this. You were talking about fans before I posted and that is all I talked about. More specifically the location of fans in existing hardware. Spinning heatsinks don't matter at all to this discussion since it's simply an argument about existing coolers.
It's cute to see you trying to be clever but, really, you should stop since you're not very good at it.
Your lack of experience doesn't change reality, expand your horizons and stop assuming you know everything. Plenty of electronics have their fans right next to the processor, as I already said, that is a fact.
No problem - you go build a full-size spinning metallic heat-sink powered by a magnetic field without a typical electric motor, and I'll gladly admit I was wrong. Until then, I'll stick with my assessment.
Sorry, changing the topic won't work. You made an idiotic statement about fans and processors, I called you on it, that's all, I never said anything about spinning heatsinks.
But do go on, watching someone make a fool of themselves is ever amusing.
Non-issue for a long time now, on a modern cpu you can pull off the heatsink at full load and it'll survive with no damage. It may even keep working once it's throttled itself low enough.
You think fossil plants don't have this problem? They are a perpetual accident, we're just used to it and the cost (health problems, environmental damage, pollution, etc, etc.) are implicitly externalized onto society by now.
Go look up how many batteries you'll need to power the north for 20 hours a day during winter. We're talking about a scale where you use water and gravity as storage mediums because nothing else is really economical. Even that one is hard due to environmental and practical contraints.
So no, it's not a solution.
2. Transmission lines
These incur transmission losses, are somewhat prone to outages and most importantly don't help you at night. Or when a giant storm covers a significant chunk of your solar cells. So now you got to add in the costs of building a lot more solar cells than you need just to cover overcasts in other areas, etc, etc.
So, no, given current and foreseeable technology going solar for base load is a giant horrible expensive pain the backside. One that will never really go away baring some absurd technological improvement.
I'll be sure to tell Juan to send you more exact search results next time you visit amazon. Oh wait, people aren't the ones giving you back search results but only rather dumb algorithms.
So yeah, the number of people who search for "armagedon" is probably more than the number who look for obscure books. Also, I suspect the later are more stubborn so it matters less if they get worse results. Lacking intelligence and a copy of your brain, amazon's algorithms will never give perfect results for everyone. The best result for the most people is likely what they give now. Welcome to life, it's not perfect.
Odd thing about current software algorithms, they lack sentience and human level intelligence. So congratulations, you're probably an edge case of the algorithm which sucks for you I guess.
Thing is, the number of people misspelling some popular movie is likely much greater than the number looking for books like yours. There's probably quite a few very intelligent and decently well paid people at amazon whose only job is to analyze data on such things and improve these algorithms. There is no conspiracy, no malice but the simple fact that algorithms have trade offs.
If people search for Armagedon do you think they want the directly matching misspelled song title (or whatever) or Armageddon the best selling movie?
There's endless cases like this, direct matching leads to worse user experience than trying to infer intent. Apparently, amazon believes those other books are better matches than your own book for the search phrase. Nothing is rigged, you're just bitter at not being popular.
The hand virtually everyone is dealt in life is far from perfect. I can go on for pages on what differences in genetics (allergies, average looks, acne, prosopagnosia, etc.), personality (social awkwardness, impatience, etc.) or upbringing (lack of wealth, lack of connections, etc.) have worked against me in one way or another. I generally don't.
That is life, the trick is to play the hand you are dealt as well as possible. Then to realize that it doesn't really matter since you won't be much happier, find what actually makes you happy and go for that instead.
It is such a convenient world you live in where discrimination is solved by the free market...
I never said anything like that, stop pushing your own twisted hatred onto others to justify your own failures.
So, my only choice in life is submit to being abused, or commit suicide? WTF?
No, you deal with it. You find something you can do that you can succeed in. You go in through side channels. You make connections. You open a business with like minded individuals. In other words the same thing every successful immigrant and actually oppressed minority has done for the last many millennia. Except, unlike them, you're not particularly oppressed so you have much better choices.
Quirk of human psychology, btw, if you think you will fail because group X (which you are in) is expected to fail at the task then you will more likely fail. Expecting to fail, as you are, means you probably will in fact fail. You're not special nor are you very much "repressed." Not in modern society. Your opportunities are great and complaining that someone else is better off is essentially shallow. There is always someone better off. You can wallow in how unlucky you were or realize it's not really that bad and get on with life.
If my father thought like you he'd a be drunk bitter old man living on stale bread alone in an ex-communist shit hole. Instead, he found every single loophole and advantage he could while there. Then he moved to the US and did the same thing. Brilliant mathematician but didn't have the right connections. So he ran a hobby shop. Then ran a photo lab. Did construction. Worked as a waiter. Now he's the CTO of a decently sized company.
My mother did think like you, spent thirty odd years working in a photo lab despite having a masters in biology. In the old country it was a necessity, in the US it was ingrained habit. Then she was forced to change. Inside a year of hard work, volunteering at two places while part-timing at a third, she had two offers for jobs she actually enjoyed despite no experience, past middle age and a thirty year old degree from another country.
And the solution for the woman is to learn how to be a man?
The discrimination faced by women nowadays is minimal.
The black to bleach their skin and become white?
See above and move out of a racist area if there is in fact discrimination.
The homosexual to hide their sexual orientation and live a life of denial?
See above and if it's a problem then move to an area where it's not.
"Adapt or perish" is so nice and elegant in theory, but fundamentally makes unreasonable demands on many people that in fact they cannot even escape from.
I'm honestly confused at what you're arguing about aside from being generally angry at life. I never said people deserve to be compensated, I'm simply saying that right now they are being compensated. A statement of fact and not ideology or expectation. Tomorrow it may be different, today it is not. There are enough companies that any one of them being a fool has no impact on the others. My friend got an idiot interviewer at facebook so he went to google instead.
I also never said abilities, quality is a measure decided by companies. In Silicon Valley it is generally tied to talent however there are other aspects to it as well. Nonetheless talent plays enough of a part that companies not getting these people would be at a disadvantage. Talent is also a complicated measure and just because you think you have it doesn't mean that you really do. For example, coding skill is of little value if you're so anti-social as to be impossible to integrate into a team.
In general, for a job it matters who you know, what people think you know and what you actually know. In that order and for good reasons. Judging talent is hard and connections/networking provide a judge that is seen as fairly reliable. Furthermore since people cannot read your mind, if you cannot convince them of your skills then you effectively don't have those skills. Thankfully these are both areas that can be improved with practice.
And no, life is not fair, deal with and adapt or perish. I'm moving to the east coast soon. You know what I'll do there? Cut my hair, buy a good suit and practice acting the right way (confident, etc, etc.) Why? Because that is what the culture there expects and if I don't adapt then that's my fault.
$70k is nothing, they probably spend almost as much recruiting just one person. The good VC companies, which I believe are all west coast and not wall street based, will realize that losing potential talent will cost them much more than the occasional write off.
If you've got the qualities then you will very likely get a job at one company or another, as I said there is more demand than supply right now. In the last year a half dozen of my old coworkers have switched jobs to good companies. So have quiet a few of my friends. Google is still hiring like nothing else and so are other companies.
Hate to tell you this, since you're apparently not part the group, but for top quality people it's almost better than the 90's. Good silicon valley companies understand that quality matters, and they will pay for it and actively recruit it. There is more demand than supply.
Congratulations on showing the exact opposite of what you meant, specifically that the language used by Skype is too confusing to understand.
The letter, specifically the third paragraph, says that he can only exercise his options at the grant price. In other words he will make $0 on it and have to pay taxes despite that. So he has 90 days in which he can do nothing of value with his options.

So no, the evidence for both sides was most likely not heard.
JSTOR did alot of the same stuff.
No it didn't.
There is no way in hell they owned the copyright to all the stuff they scanned.
No but they did get licences from the publishers who do own the copyrights.
A bit lower but the fatalities they had were very early in the program (both Soyuz and space flight in general). Since the craft has been redesigned over time one can argue, as someone else said, that the current iteration has a 0 crew loss rate.

How are you applying to companies?
You have 20 years worth of networking and contacts. Use them.
What legal fees? As far as I've seen, Lodsys wants money and not an insane amount of it. So you pay it and get on with life.
If you want to go to court with them for no economically practical reason, well that's your ideological problem so pay for it.

You've never looked at the cooler on your video card or south/northbridge (if applicable) have you? Or your router or certain low power cpus?
So yeah, you're wrong, admit it and stop before you shove your foot all the way through your digestive system.
You think fossil plants don't have this problem? They are a perpetual accident, we're just used to it and the cost (health problems, environmental damage, pollution, etc, etc.) are implicitly externalized onto society by now.

Personally, any company that has proven to me that they will screw me over as best they can is not one I will work at.
