True, but if you at least read the summary you'll see that they had test scenarios of Windows 7 Desktop in 20 seconds on a dell and under 10 second on an IBM.
Huge difference between someone who gives their two weeks notice and gets a going away party and someone who gets terminated for wrong doing. There was a guy who downloaded a bunch of really inappropriate stuff and put it on a shared network drive. We were going to clean out older files as part of routine maintenance and found 3+ GB taken up by this one folder. It was even named his name and had other personally identifiable documents in it, but I digress. He was immediately terminated upon revelation by HR of his violation and escorted out. Do you really think you'd be going out for pizza and beer with that person? What if instead they were fired because they assaulted a co-worker? Then? Firing doesn't tend to happen in a happy go lucky way.
It was me. But I did it by accident. I thought I was clicking the Digg It link and must have just missed and clicked the DMCA It link. I did think it was weird that they asked me to provide justification for why I thought it should be expunged. But I just kept typing "The quick brown fox jumped over the...etc..." till it said I had typed enough and then it let me submit.
Novel ideas don't permeate "the establishment" too often. They've clearly gotten to used to the idea of advertising subsidized content. People are used to it too, and with the internet, the large scale readership is very sensitive to any increase in cost. It will take years to transition to a model where the consumer pays for content at a higher rate without losing massive numbers of subscribers. A lot of them have waited too long to start making a change though, so it's going to come down to a matter of what heroics can they pull off to buy themselves time to make the shift. Further complicating it, most of them don't have the expertise within their ranks to even begin to plan that sort of shift.
There are MANY human workers whose job it is to do the same task in the same way for years. They're paid to do it the exact same way, and they'll get in trouble if they do it differently. I do not think these people are stupid, nor would I call them stupid. Perhaps they have that particular job because they don't know how to do something else, but that doesn't make them stupid. We want the same consistently made burger every time we order it at the drive-through. If half the time you got a hot dog instead THEN I think you'd be calling someone stupid. But someone calling a person stupid because they do their job tasks the same way every time really makes that someone stupid.
Pretty much certain? Yes, a lot of observations have fit the theory of gravitational waves, but this one in particular went against it. The observation method may be flawed in some way, but it COULD mean that the other observed effects are actually attributable to something else. Whether flawed or not, this observation did not disprove or prove the existence and/or nature of gravitational waves. It only served to potentially better define them.
and at seven months of presumably unauthorized stress testing, i wouldnt be surprised if google and amazon network engineers met over a few pints of beer and decided your asinine experiment deserved a bit of traffic shaping.
I think this has the highest likelihood of being the culprit. Perhaps not google and amazon doing the traffic shaping, perhaps not even their own ISP doing it purposely. But it's not a news flash that doing anything over the internet can have wildly different latency and bandwidth results throughout the day, let alone over a seven month period.
The article admits that the Traveling Wave Tubes are not new, but it also lists several points that make this implementation better and very much noteworthy compared to its predecessors. You seem to have an interest in/knowledge of these communication devices, so I would say that the article is actually a worthwhile read for you.
Yes, that is true. If he hadn't specifically mentioned that the neighborhood was generally good, I wouldn't have seen any implied linear or exponential escalation in response. Maybe he loads up every time he opens a door no matter what neighborhood he's in.
As the first post, this post would have been very funny had it consisted entirely of "frist post" because I would venture to guess the people who get satisfaction out of exclaiming how they got the first post would be the same kids who eat the marshmallow within seconds...
Bing and/or google will also not show results you expect for words if you don't actually put in enough context to make the search relevant for you. I mean seriously, who's going to look up 58.44 or even 58.443 all by itself? What were they trying to find? If you want all instances of the number 58.44, then that's all you type. Otherwise you need to add some qualifier, otherwise you're going to get whatever Bing or Google determines is most likely a match to what you want. Simply add "weight" or "mole" and bam...almost all exactly the results you'd be looking for...maybe. As I'm still not sure what you'd be looking for...somehow you have to indicate what realm you're looking in...
Yeah you really could have taken his whole argument and swapped the windows and linux references and made that your counter argument. His whole argument is that he's used to one interface which somehow makes the competing interface substandard.
Let's get together in 10,000 years then and make a decision:)
Perhaps we COULD know the affects of organic foods because of the 10,000 year span of agricultural use, and we can at least surmise that it hasn't lead to widespread death, yet. However, that's really only anecdotal and to assume organic food hasn't had a negative (or positive) ultra longterm impact on human civilization is just as bad as assuming pesticide/genetically engineered food may have negative or positive impacts 10,000 years from now.
Furthermore, it is considered a complication of pregnancy/birth when the unborn child does poop before birth. They have to make sure none went in the lungs etc...can make the child very sick.
Also, manure left on produce whether because it was from fertilizer or from roaming animals is a HUGE health risk. Cleaning food, whether organic or not is extremely important to preventing e-coli and other nastiness. Organic food has a higher incidence of "natural" food borne bacteria. But on the same token, the pesticides/etc... used on crops that aren't organically grown must also be cleaned off lest they cause other equally nasty illness.
Fine, library being on the budget that a library is won't be convinced that the minor convenience of locating a book's physical location (unless the LED is blocked, dead, etc) is worth the expense. Granted libraries already do add their own tracking system to their books. Perhaps if it could be bundled into the security device then libraries that use those could potentially do this. Of course, if it can get down to 1 cent per device in mass production, that would take this issue off the table.
Potential, but even at 5 cents each, they won't replace the bar code, nor should it really. It may replace the bar code for specific applications, but you're not going to convince frito lay that they need to plop one of these suckers on the millions bags of chips they crank out each day.
The concept drawings of the kids in classroom and crowd gaming looks like all the kids are tokin' it up...
Sounds like a great new technology whether it's a barcode replacement or something much more.

That really depends on what treaties the ....zzzz put myself to sleep even trying to explain it.sorry
It would then be under the jurisdiction of pirates of the real kind.

eh...I probably would have shot them through the door considering the transient nature of the neighborhood :)
Yes, that is true. If he hadn't specifically mentioned that the neighborhood was generally good, I wouldn't have seen any implied linear or exponential escalation in response. Maybe he loads up every time he opens a door no matter what neighborhood he's in.
Because your response to someone knocking on your door IN a generally good neighborhood included visibly displaying your firearm...
So I guess if you lived in a neighborhood that wasn't generally good you would have just shot 6 rounds through the door in response? Yeesh!
You should definitely see it. I think the poster you replied to was just sore that Halo didn't get made.

For now...though unless they come up with a way to power them (solar cell?) it won't come down enough...
