Global Flyer Part 2
·
· Score: 1
I was looking forward to the flight, and I've never made a post on/. I figured it was a race against others who probably knew of this flight. I wanted to make a clear summary, and noticed having to re-read the "longest" part, so I tried to clarify it, but obviously didn't read it over carefully enough to catch how redundantly pointless and repetitive (pun intended) the parenthetical clarification was.
I knew I must've done something wrong, as it is my first accepted article. Oh well, only fools make the same mistake twice, and I'm not a fool, so I'll learn from my mistake.
My parents always let me eat dirt:-/ Most parents would say that's a bad thing, but if I was stopped from doing all the things children naturally do, my immune system probably wouldn't be as strong as it is now.
Sounds like a good idea, but the name? RAID (according to your initials) would never catch on, it's like the bug spray. Maybe there should be different types, or versions optimized for speed, reliability, redundancy, hot swapping, etc.
"This goes to show to the world that we are not bullock cart drivers, but we can compete against the best of the world."
Aren't Singhania's one of the richest families in India? Money can do anything.
All the content is still on your page, just some HTML or something is making the rest invisible. I knew this from the begining, but if I gave too much detail, without explaining myself, I might be viewed as a suspect. I'm tempted to explore and find the "restricted stuff" but.... I don't have time.
A million dollars per system is nothing.
Assuming it's designed for everybody to use Google's supercomputers and a simple terminal at their home, 1 million, divided by lets say 5000 people, is $200 per person.
Assuming each person uses the supercomputer for only 12 hours a day, that means they get 2 Opterons and a lot of RAM when they login. I'd pay $200 in a second for a 2 Opteron system, especially if it was burstable even further.
I could install Gentoo, stage 1 in a few minutes! Imagine compiling X.org in seconds!
THINK in French (pense en francias)
mais ce n'est pas 'francias', c'est 'francais'
Je parle francais un peu (en classe de francais a l'ecole).
je pense que je pense en francais.
En anglais:
But it's not 'francias', it's 'francais'
I speak french a little (in french class at school)
I think that I think in French. When I'm told something, I understand it without translation. But my vocabulary is too limited to properly think in French fully. I do speak though without thinking about the words and conjugation and such.
Yuck! Helicopters. He deserves far more. I'm just glad he hasn't made himself a real part of the aviation community! My theory on helicopters: They can't really fly, they're just so ugly, the Earth repels them.
A month? Spam costs corporations a lot of money, I can't estimate it though. If it takes you 1 minute to filter the spam out of your e-mail, and half a billion people have e-mail accounts, spammers are responsible for half a billion minutes per day. Time is money, and that's a lot of money. Spammers make foolish people on the internet lose their money as well.
I feel that spammers should get at least a year in prison. A second in jail for every e-mail sent sounds reasonable. If an e-mail takes a second to delete, even though it actually takes longer, the criminal is making up for his crime equally with the wasted time of the victims. If one spammer sends 1 million e-mails a day, that's 11 days per day of spam.
What if the IT cortex was bypassed: The computers would get or simulate the input, and recognize and categorize the object and the computer would send that data directly to the other parts of the brain. Now the human doesn't see the ball, but knows there's a ball in front of them, and it's red, and about the size of their head, etc (all the details), but doesn't see it, just has a "feeling" that a ball is there.
Weird thing is, I've already taken this into account. I regularly search for my name on Google, and I find mostly links to Amazon.com reviews, and slashdot comments. I generally keep proper puncuation and capitalization. The domains I own, all are very business-like.
My personal site, while it does have personal information such as the music artists I like, it has a blog with full sentences, nothing extremely controversial. Everytime I post something, especially on/., I think about, what if my future employer read this?
Most likely, I'll come across somebody, I'm thinking for scholarship applications or similar, that will `Google` me, and come across all my footprints. They'll see I have an organized website, they'll find a scientifically and technically focused blog, and they'll see that I participate on/. in my "downtime".
Even my MySpace, I'm 15, it's almost required that I have one, is in a fair condition. I maintain only close friends on my MySpace, and delete innapropriate comments. In the future, I assume people will realize that my MySpace was for social connections, not business, and most everyone is very different in their social, business, and academic lifestyles.
114%-Everything was 100% and then extra credit (add to numerator, leave denomanator the same)
Grade curves are applied only for certain schools or even specific assignments. They're unfair. Part of a math project on bell curves I did, pointed out all the flaws in a curve. For standardized tests, curves aren't applied. There's the percentile which may be a form of a curve, and then the exact score (number right, or number of points earned).
I feel that grading should be done where each question gets a point value, and after adding number right over number possible, that's your score. Then there should be a class rank with it. That way if you get a 80% but were number 1 in your class, the class is really hard, the test was unfair, or the teacher is bad. Either way, the class rank partly excuses you, and the percent grade is still perfectly accurate.
I'm 15. I've never studied, for anything. Before 6th grade, Anything below a 97% is failing. Since then, I've developed a social life. I still don't study, but I always get 90%s. It's a fair exchange, I can still get into good universities (with a really good resume and interview of course:-) and I have friends now. I always get 99th percentile on standardized tests. The highest grade I've earned was something around a 114% in Geometry (I hate it, but I can visualize anything).
I honestly feel that school is a waste of time. I read probably 20 more books during the summer than I do during the entire school year. I've taught myself more (mostly science, math, and computer science) than I have ever been taught. The school doesn't teach exact things. I learn what I need to as I do it. That's how I teach myself programming languages, I start a project, and learn what I need to as I go. Then I've accomplished something, and I can use the knowledge later. The biggest thing I know how to do would be the ability to find the info that I need. I teach myself (even things concerning language and history) more on my own. I'd say I've never learned anything in school, but as of entering highschool, I have learned a few things.
I could probably enter a local college or even a pretty nice university. But I never would. I'm using this time to go flying, sailing, and to just hang out with friends and getting rides from people old enough to drive me places. I'm mature for my age, honestly, I think you can tell that from me being here and how I write. But I still would not fit in in a university setting. I'm 15, and I'd be with some people 19 or 20. I have friends that age, but they have completely different issues. This 8 year old still must worry about wetting his bed, or wanting his mother to be with him. I don't know much about (N or S) Korean culture, but I imagine the developmental cycle of children still is the same.
Last time I read it, it was around $37. I'm not an AdWords/AdSense member, so I didn't have to agree to the TOS saying I can't discuss the money. Something worth $37/click linked to by Mr. Roland. I can't help but suspect something deeper than an interest in informing the/. community of asbestos problems.
Failed validation, 40 errors
So here's a standards site, that doesn't follow standards.
If I were blind, I'm sure I would be unable to read the page, or color-blind, or any other disability would make it difficult to read.
There's a 1 over infinity percent chance that it will take that long. And a 50% chance that it would take _only_ 75 trillion years. There are about 190 million computers in the US as of 2002. We can assume there are 500 million computers world wide now. It takes 3600 computers to crack a DES key in a second. We can halve 149 trillion 17 times. Using all of the worlds computers it would only take 4.5 billion years to crack a simple 128-bit AES key.
Assuming your source (US government) is correct, and my estimations and calculations weren't off too much, my first comment was very wrong. Thank you for informing me.
So google has many datacenters, thousands of servers in each, and one hundred people with uploaded bank account numbers. Shut down google.com for one minute, crack the encrypted file, and hope that the person has a few thousand dollars to at least cover the loss in revenue for a minute of operation.

Your website sucks. Ironically, someone must really hate your site, because it's "Hacked by Pinguingillo" (good luck with that :-/ )
If I had mod points, I'd mark you redundantly redundant. I would do that if I had mod points, I would.

First you say there's something to see, the details of the XBox 360, now you say "Nothing for you to see here." Make up your mind!
Interesting...I just login, and my fortune says "It's easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them."
