You look after 4 servers. Amazon looks after 100,000 times that.
If every server has a 1 in 100 chance of failing each year, you have to wait over 10 years to reach a 50% chance that a server has failed. Amazon would have about 11 dying per day. Its amazing that their systems can handle 99% of those failures seamlessly.
Ok that may be a scenario where CFQ doesn't perform adequately, however I'd say that is a pretty poor example. You cannot reasonably expect a fluid desktop environment with moderate swapping. It is never going to happen.
Speak for yourself. My processor will very happily go up to 4.1ghz without overclocking (Not bad for a mid-range processor). AMD is doing their best to keep clock speeds going strong which would explain why they have the current world record.
When they spend money to promote the fact it is recycled, then you can be sure it is predatory pricing. Toilet paper and printer paper are the two biggest culprits there (not plastic but good examples).
CFQ only comes in to play when accessing new uncached data from disk when disk is at medium-high usage (at low usage any read/write queues are empty). I'm struggling to figure out any interactive programs that fit that description. Web/email/documents/games etc... don't touch the disk in any significant way and the cache handles most disk accesses for them anyway.
VMs create a single 'hardware' platform. You aren't testing more than a fraction of the kernel.
And your automated resets will let you boot a new kernel easily (so does 'reboot' anyway), but if it does break you can sit there resetting over and over again in to the same broken kernel. Yay!
You assume that banks have full referential integrity. I.e. Every transaction must have a source and destination account, and both accounts can be verified from their server. If they don't then you just say it got sent to another bank where they can't verify the destination, then send another transaction to a different bank for the same value.
Or if you really want to cause hell, just change numbers. Make money appear from nowhere or make it vanish. You can't stop the world's banking networks and replay each transaction to verify them,
A journalist's partner who was helping the journalist with the story. That's pretty damn close to being a journalist.
Or to put it another way, if he wasn't a journalist then wtf did they detain him for 9 hours for? There would be no point unless he was acting in the capacity as a journalist.
Erm they were found using debuggers. You can make it tricky to debug but not impossible. They slowed the execution speed of the code and just waited for the keys to be decrypted then they copied the memory.
It wasn't easy because the keys have higher entropy, it was easy because they are a fixed size. Not much in computing uses large fixed size numbers like encryption does. When they start getting used they stand out and can easily be extracted.
Not really increase the number of admins, but I'll give you the last bit about having to pay more.
"Oh no we now have to employ competent people and they want reasonable wages!!!!!"
The only reason why there are as many Windows servers out there as there are is because a cheap IT graduate without a clue can blunder their way through it and eventually get the job done. Its not because they are manned by efficient admins who understand the system well.
Not giving UN troops a health screening knowing that they are going to a place with appalling sanitation is pure negligence. I would have excepted it to be routine that they get regular health checks.
Actually if you painted a big fat bullseye on your butt like he did, I would consider that to be a perfectly reasonable conclusion. He knew it was coming.
Would have been awesome to mess with them once he knew. Googling for "How to make bombs" and "What to do when the FBI have tapped your internet" would have been hilarious.
Facebook will not do a general search engine. They don't have any advantage over anyone else except with social data and that is pretty worthless for searches.
Except a whole pile of other apps like the Blackberry one use the exact same APIs Microsoft has access to. And Google doesn't have a problem with them.
The Google apps for iOS and Android do use other APIs to the public one for companies like Microsoft. However Microsoft isn't allowing Google to write the Windows Phone app.

Morals don't come in to it at all. It was just flat out a ridiculous performance.
Probably a Pulsar or something like that.
But...but it has a FCC sticker on it!

(My math may be way out but you get the point)
Then the police arrest you and use the camera and lidar data from 100 cars to make a 3d image of the driver just to prove it was you. :P
Technically most of the bottom quarter think they are in the top half.

Although they are starting to become the norm.

Woosh.
No they don't notice that the real attack is different from the previous 'fake' attacks.
If the First Lady gets abducted, is it not considered as an attack on the President?

I wonder why they just didn't disassemble the DRM. Whack it in a debugger and see what it is doing.
That is how Bluray fell.
Sure it is hard, but decoding it via Wine isn't?
DRM that doesn't affect your use of the product works just fine. (see also: Steam - They want our money so they went to Linux.)

And is it better with soy sauce or sweet chilli?
