    In other news, Bing commercials have people searching for "Xbox 360". What are the odds?

  5. Speedy servers on New Device Puts SSD In a DIMM Slot · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Certainly putting things like swap space and database journal files on SSD would speed things up wonderfully, but how about an OS hack where an SSD drive is a sort of L3 cache between core and traditional disk for dirty disk buffers? Also, I'm wondering about the power requirements between SSD and DIMM RAM.

  6. Re:Flame Bait on Is Linux At the End of Its Life Cycle? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    All open source projects evolve to the point where the current developers want to throw away all the code and start again.

    Ask the KDE4 guys how's that working out for them.

    Meanwhile, it's an interesting point. In the closed source world the justification for keeping ancient shit code is that "we have too much money in it to throw it away"; open source can simply outwait the creators of the ancient code, or fork.

    Agree completely. Seven minutes 47 seconds. Also GLARINGLY missing is the opening shot from The Magnificent Ambersons. A long crane/motion-control shot long before they existed.

    PHP is the only language that has such exploitable vulnerabilities. Windows, which is not programmed in PHP, has never had exploitable vulnerabilities.

    In this day and age, airline traffic constitutes the bulk of all interstate travel, and the advance notification requirement and having that information in a government database is well on the way down the slippery slope to "show us your papers".

    And yes, yes, as others have pointed out, you can still buy a ticket within the 72 hour window, but you must STILL provide the information, and it is still stored in the database.

    Much of the recent Security Theatre, for example, the requirement to notify the government 72 hours in advance when you travel domestically in the USA now being phased in as a result of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, which was, of course, passed by a Republican Congress. But I agree with you in spirit, that I expected more from him in this regard.

    Oh for Christ's sake. A website going out of business for lack of income is hardly evidence of "them" censoring or oppressing you. The world does not owe you a forum in perpetuity for your rambling musings. If they're actually interesting, someone will keep them alive. 99.999% of all blogs are egotistical bullshit, They just have a larger vocabulary (and LOTS and LOTS more words) than your average tweet.

    The Standard Model guys are going to be so irritated when they finally figure out that all these "flavors" are all manifestations of the same thing; what they're doing now is analogous to calling electrons in different shells different particles.
