  1. more than 8 on Taco Bell Programming · · Score: 1

    Really it's components rather than ingredients, but Taco Bell does have more than 8

    corn tortilla (variations)
    cilantro
    lime
    sour cream
    flour tortilla (a few variations)
    chicken
    beef
    pork (at some locations)
    refried beans
    rice
    tomatoes
    cheese
    lettuce
    the four salsas (mild, hot, fire, verde)

    and if one is forced to eat fast food, one can do better there than McD's shit

    I do that all the time as well as unrar-ing massive archives, never had nor heard of this problem. maybe some people are just doing something wrongly?

    I don't use brain-dead filesystems such as ext2/ext3/ext4 for my data volumes of course, just for boot and root for ease of recovery and max amount of choices for recovery.

    nah, most processes don't try to allocate the maximums, nor does Linux swap out the whole process (true swapping is very, very rare) but just pages.

    Most of the time my swapfile never gets used on my 4GB desktop. and yes I made my swap partition 4GB just because I never know what I might be doing in the future. but it's been a waste of space thus far, even running web server, database and middleware for projects with a nice 768MB RAM virtual windows machine in vmware on the side.

    yes, I'm a real engineer, and I'll even agree theory is important and valuable including Turing Machine capabilities.

    BUT let's think about that hard disk business. Hard disk for IBM 1620 did exist, the 1311 with two megabytes. Put that on a 50KHz driven 1620 and good luck with your jvm. Maybe you could prompt the user to halt and power off the machine and change hard disks.

    Like I said, not actionable. useless.

  9. Re:What am I doing wrong? on The State of Linux IO Scheduling For the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    I never liked the idea of swap in LVM, always just made separate real partition for it. boot, root and swap I believe should always be on real partitions, then /tmp /var, /home, /usr /usr/local and the rest can go into LVs

    that's just one kind of enterprise architecture, truthfully as of late JEE server (and jobs dealing with it) is in decline as lighter weight simpler solutions are being adopted. I and my friends used to make good money as J2EE based solution developer but that petered out five years ago.

    And the really big-ass enterprise architectures don't have java on the back end, even though that option can be had for IBM-like, HP nonstop, and Unisys mainframes it's not the norm.

    but that's a bullshit claim, that this is war. Iraq people didn't attack us, Al Qaeda wasn't there, new WMD weren't there, and we're not bringing democracy there, and those Iraqis we've chosen to side with are no better than any of the groups who oppose or fear them. You can't spray gold colored paint (patriotism, the America way, freedom, democracy!) on maggot infested bullshit (greed for political coin, wealth, power) and claim you have gold bullion.

    The truth is we let our elite line their pockets and increase their power with human suffering and death, and then wage wars of choice to cause more of the same for those same people. We and our politician's controllers are the mass murdering thieving jack-booted scum of this planet, and anyone who points out this glaring truth is labeled as unpatriotic or traitor. But this is the opposite of that for which our forefather fought and died, opposite of American ideals, opposite of humanitarianism.

    That's a bullshit notion about Iraq situation I see again and again. It is NOT a war, that is a lie. It is an ongoing atrocity against mankind for the purpose of lining the pockets of elite and increasing their power. Just as our arming and support of Saddam was. We have the blood of Saddam's actions on our hands as well as the blood being spilt now.

    We lied that we would liberate the people from Saddam, instead nine years later our military and contractors are slaughtering, raping, and murdering innocents for amusement.
    We lied that Al Qaeda was in Iraq or aligned with Al Qaeda, and then through deliberate poor strategy turned the place into magnet for Al Qaeda and recruiting ground.
    We lied that Saddam was making new WMD.
    We lied that this is war, by Constitution it is not. By purpose it is not.
    We lied that we would bring freedom and democracy to the middle east, instead we force our puppets at gunpoint and have rigged elections.

    Afghanistan is the same thing, those who attacked us aren't there and the elections are fake and not the people's choice. Those who don't go along with our farce are labeled "Taliban" and murdered.
