Yes, yes it does. The issues whilst similar for multi-socket and multi-core systems are different due to the single processor having links to system bus and main memory shared between the cores, where as these are separate links on different processors. So as nomenculature goes it is not that bad at all.
Sorry 'cost cutting' measure, what?!?!?! It only cost them 47p to make the sets (possibly an overestimate) so I don't see how location work would be any cheaper.
No experiments may be a long way off, experiments are what we have now, these may show interesting things (not necessarily what we hoped for) they mostly don't. The interesting ones will be explored further, some may show something useful etc...
One of my issues is that if this is some sort of DNA tomfoolery (I'd call it genetic but most of our DNA is not genes and we don't know what it does) which might cause the problem, I don't see how in all cases using your own cells would be all that useful in removing the problem. I'd venture that our DNA has a hand in more things we know about in our bodies.
I have no problem with it, in fact they are as evolved as us (and I would reckon we are less evolved than some species which seem to have found places from where no random mutation has given them an advantage over what they already have for millions of years, we are still evolving albeit in a way previously not predicted), which was the point I was trying to get across just very badly.
Yes but that's all that these 'athletes' do is bang their heads together repeatedly day in day out, so it's a worse kind of crazy because you don't get the time to develop proper psychotic tendencies some one in a cube farm might*.
*I don't know I've never worked in one, but I think I might go crazy in one.
RAID 0 is not redundant, they are not really 'disks' any more and they could be independent disks rather than inexpensive. Sorry I know you were trying to be funny but I felt you could have more fully reduced the issue.
Ah but I have 4 million 1K files do I still use FAT? FAT32 is quite crap really but in the situation of USB flash drive it may not encounter some of it's issues.
There exist cases where Newton's model does not return reliable answers, all Einstein et al did was show in which cases Newton's model was flawed and a different model proved more accurate. Neither is correct (they provide reliable predictions under certain circumstances), which is why the scientific community has moved from laws to theories, because they now understand that someone could come up with a better model in the future.
We didn't develop from fish and apes, we developed from something which also developed into fish and apes, who are at the same point in evolution as us. It's this sort of thinking which doesn't help.
Pakistan did it when they were off net for weeks in 2005. If you look at recent outages you'll see Pakistan is relatively unaffected because they spent money fixing the lack of redundancy.
I seriously doubt you are old enough to have had a mobo with truly awful sound (or even the bad old days of no sound at all). For most people having shitty little 10w speakers plugged in you are not going to notice the difference, hell even with better speakers you would be hard pressed. You only need a sound card if you need some more features/channels/etc. The modern mobos have perfectly serviceable sound for most applications.
I do like how people complain that they are trying to keep 'time' in keeping with actual observed sun/earth movements. If anyone is seriously using HH/mm/ss as an accurate system should move out of the pre-war era into the new fangled world of the microprocessor. I don't know about anyone else but I have in the past tried to do things with a computer and HHmmss and bugger me that was hard, then I used unix timestamps and lo life was easy (as long as someone has already done the module to convert timestamps to HHmmss to make the time readable again, although this should only be for output not further processing). But you could always use something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Atomic_Time if you really need to have an accurate time source.
UTC should keep time in sync with the sun, if not midnight would become noon in a 'few' years, which would just be plain silly.
They were obviously not keyboard shortcut kind of people, as they didn't even notice a difference... Not that I like it myself but then I might use office for 20 minutes a week so I don't really care that much.
I know that the education system of the UK and Europe is different and that transferring is not as easy as it could be. It is NOT safe to assume that because the UK is different from the US that the rest of Europe is the the same as the UK.
The UK is not Europe, don't mix the two because the systems are incompatible, all you can say is that UK courses are different to the US (I don't know enough to tell you what is different with Europe but you cannot make generalisations with what they do in the UK with what happens anywhere else.
Because we speak English, those colonials speak American English, we have the superset of the language (we also get lots of film/television from the states) so understand it all, whereas the yankies don't have a clue. Oh and much like stamps (the UK does not have to put a country on because we invented them) there is no British English, it's damn English everyone else speaks some other form like American English or Australian English etc.
Slashdot Mirror
CDs (red book at least) run on 'constant linear velocity' so the data is always being read off at the same rate...
That's way too public for IBM to release any infomrmation. Much easier for the government to just pay stacks o'cash to them to keep schtum about it.

No be fair there are an awful lot of Access 2 DBs* out there, Excel being a spreadsheet and all NOT a database.
*oh so useful and forwards compatible
So start your revolution then.

They were using complex derivatives of imaginary money

There is no comma in "Imperial College London", yes it is silly but then so was Sykes (rector when the college was rebranded).
