And I firmly believe (from the failed X33 fuel tank issue), that Boeing still hasn't learned to adequately deal with large composite load-bearing structures - and that entirely too little is known about them.
We have 100+ years of steel and aluminum experience, not so much with composites.
I guess they often forget the Federal part of the FAA. I would expect that short of an all-out attack, that the FAA would have complete control of all regulated airspace in the United States. Otherwise you have chaos!:-)
Except that not a single one of those is usable across existing multiple platforms (Solaris,BSD/Linux/Windows, etc.), where you might want to have cardinality of your data. You put your.Net data on your.Net platforms, and your J2EE data on your J2EE platforms, etc. I always have to have a layer like CIFS or SMB on top.
I suppose that's fine, you can always throw extra layers, but if a system is doing distribution already, why can't you throw in location transparency on top and add a Posix layer.
And none of them so far are Free for all the above mentioned platforms. Hell, I'll take just Linux and Windows. GPFS is, but IBM will ass-rape you in $$$ for it. Lustre has the same problem if you want Windows support.
The rest (almost universally) don't support Posix semantics (though OCFS is apparently shooting to do so).
Then there's the fact that almost all of the open Linux only ones have a SPOF in the form of the metadata server.
Yes! I have this exact same problem, but I've been able to avoid the people who DO have Showtime, and their spoilers.
This is why I praise Starz for putting Spartacus: Blood and Sand on Netflix, and am pissed at Fox for only putting up the first 8 episodes of Fringe on Hulu, and the last five. There's three episodes I missed, and won't be able to see until after this season concludes. Unless I go and download them illegally.:(
Some older early model DVD players had this issue, like my combo TV/DVD does now. There's places where you can't skip content (flag set on that track). Some preview tracks in early DVD releases may have had that flag set, and so "jump to main menu" wasn't allowed.
Modern DVD players don't obey this anymore (Playstation 3 for example).
We already have some pretty good research on what goes on in sea environments when they're nuked (Bikini Atoll). The theory is that the water, a pretty good neutron absorber, tends to grab radioactive particles and disperse them pretty quickly. There are studies ongoing of the ocean sediments that I haven't seen results for yet.
That said, the food grown on the Atoll itself is pretty deadly to humans, so no, there's no moving back.
How many iPhone users know about how much of their money goes to Apple?
How many care? They finally, FINALLY, after 30 fucking years of computer, have a Star-Trek style palmtop computer in their pockets. They don't give a shit who gets their money. As long as they have a device that works, and works well.
That's it. Period.
I don't understand the Apple hate. Have all the Microsoft astroturfers taken up new assignments?
An Android tablet that's arguably not available vs a tablet that's shipped a million units in it's first month of availability.
Okay, I'm a borderline Apple fanboi with a serious love/hate relationship with them, but it's pretty obvious what the marketplace wants right now, and it's everything to do with Apple Apple Apple. It's clean, consistent and reliable. And most of all -> HERE.
But if you wrote about Deadmans Hill, Yourtown, NM, how is that not notable? For your neighborhood, and maybe for other people doing research on hills that kill people?
Just because there are 50 ckaminski's in the United States doesn't mean we can't disambiguize to the one that is me.
WWF and PETA conjecture. We have no idea how many species we kill off every day.
There are some, it is theorized, that we have driven extinct without ever having identifying the species. But like the proverbial tree, if there's no one around to see it, did it ever really exist?
800 a day? I seriously doubt it. At that rate, every insect and animal species would be extinct in 5 years.
Oh please. People will consume whether they're so called "smart" or "stupid" Consumption is part of human nature. Smarter consumption will lead to shit that breaks less often, which is good. Stuff that lasts longer, works better. Maybe not as cheap. But that all averages out over time.
1. when loading 200 tabs, stage load them in batches of 10 or 12. Don't try and load 200 tabs all at once and pummel my cable router. They'll still take the same amount of time to load.
2. when I have 200 tabs open, have a single thread that you force all AJAX queries to go down, and let me throttle it. Each tab with a javascript event timer is what is sucking down 20% of my CPU at firefox Idle. That needs to be contained.
3. For unused tabs - things that haven't been activated in a long time, unload, or make them static in some fashion - like a screen shot. Then reloads don't have to actually hit the network until the next time the tab is actually "viewed" by a human.
I use my firefox session as a steady-state representation of what I was working on. I love the fact I can open 150+ tabs, and manage them how i see fit.
Not for nothing, but I never went anywhere but schools that the janitors could hose down from ceiling to floor to clean if necessary.
Gum sucks, it does, it just doesn't degrade, but hard candy? If you put it in your mouth and it disappears after an hour, a few minutes with a strong hose is going to make short work of it.

For a Battlestar she really was an under-armed pussy. :-/
Fucking fighter-jocks. I guess the proscription against smart-missiles kinda hurts you in a world without phasers.
Then you better take every cross and star of david off of every tombstone that has one at Arlington National Cemetary.

Actually, that's a straw man, since one is a cemetery, and other is a federal park, but I digress.
Especially since 4 months after 9/11 scanners at Boston's Logan airport, let me take 6" barbers shears in my ditty bag onto a flight to Norfolk.
They didn't really appreciate the 4" kbar mule, though. Or the swiss army knife.

I wouldn't call what they did back then "medicine." "Butchery" is more like it. The concept of IP goes back far further than 1928, my friend.

Why do they need to be selective? It's not like it's THEIR money...

KVM is not controlled by any company, and is done the "right way" according to Linus and friends.
Whereas Xen is nominally controlled by Citrix.
Either way, both are GPL and both are compatible with libvirt so it seems a moot point. Use whatever your distro comes with.
What I really want is OpenVZ in the Kernel. Sometimes, I just want a lightweight VM...
Atoms. Old ones. The Opteron 285's in my dual socket server at home, for example.

We don't have that problem 3 miles down.

That's exactly how The Learning Channel stopped being so, and became the Home TenderLovingCare channel.

Citation for that assertion, sir? Because I know some pretty damn smart education majors.
If the free market really could support so-called "smoke free bars", they would have existed before the outright bans.
So much for the free-market hypothesis, huh?

Umm... Jolly ranchers... wash away. Gum doesn't. A single rainstorm will eradicate all traces of a Jolly Rancher.
