If that "Linux server in a datacenter" is a VPS, you can get one for like $7/mo.
Sure, but I find it hard to imagine that it would (at least routinely) be faster than using his current wireless setup to route his traffic from his desktop... through his cable modem... through his ISP... through a remote datacenter (somewhere)... to the Battlefield servers. Plus, of course, the $7.
A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.
"Why?" asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"Well, I'm a panda," he says. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
... But in what OP is suggesting, the servers won't see duplicate packets...
Actually, since OP asked how to "setup a Windows client (my PC) and a Linux server (in a datacenter, connected to the internet)" it suggests he wants to know how to get fired for using his company's resources to play Battlefield while at work. But, perhaps I'm just reading too far into this. OP may have his own personal datacenter.
TFS says "60 miles per hour in a mere 3.2 seconds".
60 miles per hour is referring to a velocity, not a distance.
If it could really somehow cover 60 miles in 3.2 seconds safely, I wouldn't care that it could only do it for 15 seconds, because i would already be there
I haven't done the math, but imagine that you'd probably be dead from the acceleration required to go from 0 to 60 miles in 3.2s.
If someone killed weev, the world would be a better place.
If your purpose was to demonstrate how this cancer infects even Slashdot, then congratulations. +4 Insightful my ass.
Also, you're wrong. When weev dies, another will simply take his place. A hierarchy is basically institutionalized bullying, and we are still indoctrinated into hierarchies.
you might also want to shave (all the parts) and do everything you can to avoid oily skin.
So the crew consists of just Brazilian super-models? Interesting. Would probably mesh well with the Mars One funding via reality TV approach. On second thought, I just re-watched "Zoolander"...
The US Constitution justifies copyright by stating that a temporary protection of creativity benefits the public by encouraging artists and innovators.
It is still a go-to language for many programmers (albeit, who may no longer be in their 20s) who need to quickly hack together a test harness for a larger system. It could merely be that Perl is "complete" for applications where it is useful.
Careful grasshopper. Ya, I'm 51 and have been using Perl since it was invented - along with Emacs. But Perl can be a go-to language for anyone, *even* those still in their 20s. I currently develop software that runs on Solaris/Unix, Linux and Windows using about 10 different programming languages and among all of them, Perl is the most useful (with Java second) for cross-platform things. We also use Python for some things, and it could probably replace Perl for others, but, seriously, why bother.
Newer doesn't always mean better and old doesn't always mean obsolete.
You can't see what character whitespace actually is... is that 8 spaces or a tab?
In addition, the X Windows server converts tab to 8 spaces on cut/copy and paste - which was really unhelpful when editing Makefiles back in the day. (yes, I'm old)
People watch American Idol as well... that doesn't make it any good.
Yes! Ding, ding ding: popular does not (necessarily) equal good
(Review our current/historical crop of elected officials, fast-food chains, etc... for examples.)
If this guy can keep this up, he has a big future as a TV "News" pundit (somewhere...)
This would be for dedicated sports fans: a spherical LCD with the screen on the inside surface. The user would enter the sphere through a small hatch (which would also be a screen on the inside) and go out on a catwalk to the center of the sphere where his strap-in, gimbleable, joystick-controlled La-Z-Boy would be. Game on, total immersion!
His family would never see him again.
I stood inside a flight simulator like that at the NASA Langley Research Center when I worked there in the late 1980's. It was nice.
2) If ads are too well-targeted then they become creepy
Creepiest ad I ever saw was...
You might be interested in this (9 page) NYT Magazine article from 2012, How Companies Learn Your Secrets, about Target's targeted advertising algorithms. One case in point were pregnancy-related ads Target sent to a teenage girl, still living at home with her parents, based on some obscure buying habits. The father was outraged and complained to the store manager. Turns out she was actually pregnant.
...some of use are old enough to have actually used Windows 1.0, which, using the supposed logic for skipping 9, looks pretty close to Windows 10. Sure , mistaking 1.0 and 10. isn't something NASA or ESA might do...
American Commitment, an advocacy group with ties to the Republican billionaire Koch brothers, sent out 2.4 million letters to Congress opposing net neutrality but only collected about 814,000 signatures.
They're trying to Koch block Net Neutrality, or am I pronouncing that wrong.
The cracking would take longer than the expected lifespan of the universe.
The obvious solution is inter parallel universe travel. We find the parallel universe in which the only difference is that the suspect didn't lock his/her phone and get the data there. Problem solved.

Misplaced punctuation can cause trouble. From: Eats, shoots and leaves:

Am I out of consideration if I refer to the polygraph as 'truth dowsing' while it is being administered?
How about asking if it can detect witches?
No. For that the FBI simply checks if you float or sink in water.
Maybe you should get some facts to go along with your strong opinions.
That would ruin his chances of becoming a TV "News" pundit.

It's about anonymous online sexual harassment, particularly when it's done by packs playing the part of street gangs.
Trolling is like ranting about systemd in response to every single /. article.
No, it's about online criminal harassment.
Wait. Are we still talking about systemd?

Oh I should have proof read that, there is some grammar murdering going on there. You get the idea though.
Don't worry, we just assumed your grammar got messed up over your WiFi connection.
I believe that proves the point. ;-)

You are doing it wrong. Slackware isn't for gurus, it makes them.
Sounds like an ad for a sex manual ... except for the slackware part.
If you want to steal BIG, you have to own the bank - just ask those guys on Wall Street.

Bitcoin is better than currency in that you don't have to be physically in the same place
Apparently Bill Gates can't distinguish currency from cash...
Or a credit card, which, I believe, has many "not physically in the same place" uses.
Going back into the Historical Record a bit... "Ogg make 'fire'. This could also be a major step towards quantum computing."

Why "right-handed"? Shouldn't it be "clockwise"?
In a world of digital time devices, that makes no sense :-)
With the new iKeg system, ...
Seriously not to be confused with the iKegel system.
