[...]all that's left of America's economy will be its creative content.
Ahaha. Hahahahah. Aehehehhothoohohehehehehrhhaaaaaa! whohahahawiahhehehaaa! Too funny. You think America's most valuable treasure (and that too, when comparing to India) is its creative content. Hahahahah. Aehehehhothoohohehehehehrhhaaaaaa! whohahahawiahhehehaaa! Hahahahahhaa!
Terminal velocity is not a fixed value. It is directly propotional to (the square root of):
m = mass of the falling object,
g = acceleration due to gravity,
Both these are constants in our case. Terminal velocity is inversely
propotional to (the square root of):
C = drag coefficient,
I = density of the fluid through which the object is falling, and
A = projected area of the object.
These are subject to change. In particular, "I", which is the density of
the fluid, means that since air (the fluid here) is gets less dense with
increasing altitudes, terminal velocity is higher at these high altitudes.
They use fast replication techniques to restore disk servers (chunkservers in GFS terminology) when they fail.
The failure could be because of a component failure, disk corruption, or even a simply killing of the process. The detection is done via checksumming (as opposed to fscking), which also takes care of detecting higher-level issues that fscking might miss.
Yes, it is much cheaper for them to overwrite data from another replica (3 replicas for all chunkservers is the default) using their fast re-replication techniques rather than trying to fsck.

I was okay as long as I thought about it every time I crossed the road. It was a mistake to talk on the phone to my wife back home while walking back to the hotel from the pizza shop.
Don't leave us hanging. What happened? Did you die?
Changing your file system can solve a lot of errors and problems. For instance, if you have "Wife is still alive" errors, you can solve it by changing your file system to ReiserFS.
1.I even used to think that we could treat legalese as a kind
of assembler and develop a higher level language that "compiles down" to
it. But it doesn't solve the problem, just moves it around.
Your idea sounds interesting. Why don't you think it's a useful idea any
more? I understand that it might not solve the problem it was intended
to.
But your idea might have other uses: for instance, the original
version of the legal document could be written by feeding the intent in
the high-level language. The output could then be tweaked by lawyers.
This has a few advantages: a) automates a *part* of the legal-writing
process, b) you stil have the original text in the high-level language,
that people wanting just a reasonable summary of the law could read
(with the understanding that it might not be perfect). etc.
True. But typically, these prizes don't preclude somebody from keeping 100% of the money they might get from later producing it, in addition to the prize money. Think SpaceShipOne and the X prize.
In other words, if you win, at the very least, you're guaranteed to get $1.5 million, without worrying about whether or not you're able to get your production business of the ground, selling a patent, how good the economy is, etc.
This is especially good for inventors who think that a business risk is too much, but feel confident enough to build the product (to win the prize).
You just don't get it, do you? There aren't that many virtual machines like VI out there that can work with everything that a demanding OS like emacs throws at it.

Fuck your bosses.
Well, that's one way to get ahead....
Well, that's one way for your boss to get head...
What the fuck are you smoking that makes you think this should be legal?
Whatever it is, it's not legal.
Also known as the "3 strokes law".
BS. It's not guaranteed by the Constitution. It was a decision made by the Supreme court. HUGE difference.
And we all knew there were going to come down to this...
No, silly. Anybody knows they keep the W, E, and the 3s. They only throw away all the M, 3, and the Es.
Reality is catching up with your statement faster than you'd hope:

Will this event be labeled a "COO d'état" ?
Oww, ouch, OWW, stop the beating!

Question: what do you get when you get mooned by an old woman?
Answer: Petrified wood.
It was always petrified of being exposed for what it really was, but now that that's happened, it's all cool.

It's called iDie.
I hear that it's the next big killer app.
Okay, okay. iUnderstand iStopNow else iDie.
It's like "My lawnmower won't start" and "Well, if you had goats, then you could feed them a different feed to make them more motivated."
