If someone disagrees with you, I suspect they have not raised children. We raised ours gender neutral, and by 6 months they already started showing their preferences. One son was fixated by machines at 6 months, the other had to pick a face painting at 1.5 years, never having seen a comic or cartoon in his life - he picked Spider Man, and loved it.(he is very well behaved but loves physical play, sword fighting etc.)
Our daughter plays barbies with my one son, and it fun to listen to. She spends an inordinate amount of time begging him not to kill all the guests at the wedding etc. Yes, they are playing well together but the interests and mental processes could not be more divergent.
Society has to get over the preoccupation of having a 50/50 gender split on everything.
As a married father of a girl and two boys it is very clear that every child at a very early age (6 months) starts displaying very different interests and abilities. My two boys both took to boy things instantly but one loved swords (guns, sports etc) and the other took to mechanical stuff (cars, thomas the train etc.)
A rule is just a general principle, but, as a rule girls move into IT for reasons other than the love of coding. Claim that they are too smart to work for free, that they figured out that IT staff are abused, that nerds scare them away or whatever you want... but the truth is they just have other interests, get over it.
You wrote "Just pointing out that you've made the usual american mistake of trying to understand Europe based on your knowledge of the US. Europe as a concept is very much different from "US with countries instead of states"."
I appreciate that many in the US might see it that way, but most other americans won't. Canadians are especially well traveled with a much more developed world view (on average).
We could go on all day about where the boundries were historically, which people derived from each other, whether Finlanders are really Scandinavian etc. The original poster talked about eastern Europe, not western Europe, not the EU and not even ancient Europe. As a result my reply was based on eastern Europe as it is commonly defined Today, whether anyone likes the boundries (or other peoples) or not.

P.S. Yes, I picked Italy out of all the divided countries to point out that it is common for people to distance themselves from others that are grouped with them.
Yes, Canadians and Mexicans are not our countrymen, but they are Americans. The misuse of the term "American" is one of my pet peeves.
I never said ANYTHING about the EU. And how the heck is the geographical definition narrow? Next time cite an authoritative source for your continental boundary dispute.
Just because you think little of them, does not exclude them from your continent. You remind me of when I was in Italy, everywhere I went the people considered themselves the real Italians, not like those south of them. lol
"The states you refer to have never been considered part of "Europe"" -- funny that, why do all the economic studies on Europe and even Wikipedia include them???
Enough said, I probably should not have replied to a trolling post.
Europe goes east of Poland, and there are some poor countries there. The poorest is very poor by our standards, "Moldova remains the poorest country in Europe in terms of earnings per capita which currently stands at $1,808.729"
After I read about Silk, I began wondering if the Fire is actually just a trojan for Silk.
Imagine the power of knowing every click. Knowing what Adverts are clicked, every product that is viewed. Amazon can target the client in a way that will make Google jealous. Will they start selling adverts next? Will they add or change adverts on your page?
Actually no, Yes, straw bales CAN be used as infill, but, it is not the way a real straw home is done.
You build the walls by stacking the bales, compress them a bit - then coat the bales on both sides with mud, shotcrete or whatever. They are very strong, have some thermal mass, and because of the great thickness they have a good R value
Yes, and Canada has even more space and fewer people than the U.S. The poster could of helped us by identifying the island. After all, one of the estimated 30000 islands in Georgian bay is very different than one up north, and even more different than Toronto Island.
I didn't know that users were forced to decide to switch (or not) in 2009, I thought they could do it in other years as well and for a variety of reasons.
The real point remains, if they wanted the iPhone they are already long gone. T-mobile not having the IPhone for another year is not going to cause the remaining customers grief, especially since i-os is no longer the dominant smartphone platform in the US (or anywhere)
"ironically, AT&T's acquisition won't help T-Mobile customers get access to the iPhone anytime soon"
Anyone who really cared about the IPhone, has long ago defected. Those smartphone users who stayed likely have other priorities (like having an antenna that works?).
If you repeat this thought enough times, people will start to believe it. Too bad it is a big lie, what Richard wants is for free to remain free, that is all.
I think they said they were sorry... is that the same as an apology?
I really think they are only sorry that this is a big black eye, and is going to hurt in the morning.
"The response does not reflect the views of Motorola." can be translated as "our responses should not piss off customers"
This just seems like damage control to me, an apology means they are sorry about What they have done, not just sorry about the consequences of a poorly worded but truthful response.
This guy only has an 8 lane PCIe which means he can only get 3 GB/s real throughput.
And he is dissing SAS, and with most SAS 2.0 cards you get 8 to 16 lanes of 6 Gb/s.
That means that the sas card has a 6-12 GB/s theoretical throughput. (Which is meaningless because it is limited by the same cruddy PCIe v2 bus which limits the FC cards. The 8 lanes maxing at 4GB/s theoretical, 3GB/s in real life.)
BTW, SAS 2.0 has lower latency than FC, I've checked it out, so if going for raw speed, I will take the SAS over FC anyday.
We used an HP server with all sockets filled. We stuck in 6 SAS cards, and a couple of FC for talking to the SANS for backup. All 150 drives were DAS (connected to the 6 SAS cards).
I think you could replicate this on either HP server (DL585-g7 or DL980). I like them in that they give enough PCI-e slots. (11 in total)
As I was mentioning earlier, test your hardware before you buy it, we found a hardware bug one vendor was not aware of when we put this thing together. Benchmark, Benchmark Benchmark!
It is hard to know anything for sure with this limited amount of info. But it appears to me that they have not accomplished such a great feat.
I put together a server this year that pushes over 9 GB/s. I did this with a mere 150 2.5 inch drives. (144 raid 10 + 6 live spares). This was SAS 2.0 of course, because in the real world SAS kicks FC's A**.
We found that the real bottleneck to throughput is not the drives and not the SAS cards. We have 8 SAS 2.0 lanes coming into each card, multiply that by 6 cards, and you have a heck of a lot of potential.
No, the real problem is you saturate your PCIe slots, and chipsets sometimes choke when you feed this much data. So, the chipset and PCI-e bus tend to be the restraining factor, not the archaic rotating platters.
Sure, give the corps a vote(1 vote per corp), give them privacy, BUT with that give them the tax rate, the lack of write offs. Give them them a jail sentence for ripping off a customer.
You are missing the point, you realize most English teachers in China have very limited Mandarin?
"English Speaking" is a relative term. I have worked with about a hundred Chinese on contracts up in Canada(Toronto and Vancouver), with the exception of a couple, their English is Terrible.
I have not worked with any other group that seems to have as much difficulty transitioning to the English language. Thus, it is going to be beneficial for an outsourcer to have some "Americans" on board to make the customers feel at home, whether the "Americans" can speak Mandrin, Cantonese or whatever.
Sure, some shouldn't take Aspirin. But lets not assume ibuprofen is guilt free either. You take the drug you need to, as discussed with doctor and preferably pharmacist. (most doctors actually have a very poor understanding of drugs)
BTW, I used the age 12 with an ASA product intentionally - "The United States Food and Drug Administration now recommends that aspirin (or aspirin-containing products) should not be given to anyone under the age of 12 who has a fever"
You must be careful with any drug. If your stomach can handle it, aspirin is not the villain you make it out to be. (Tylenol causes much more damage, the effects are just less immediately visible)
You live in a screwed up state if this is true. If a parent cannot dispense medication, and a 12 year old cannot swallow it at a predetermined time, your state make the old USSR look free.
There IS a difference between Acetaminophen and an opiate, I would hope they could be treated differently.
BTW, in most places a 12 YEAR OLD can babysit, but in your state they can't take an aspirin? You need to move!
Having been through this border crossing many times, and even having had my car come up for the "random search" I can state that at no point have I ever spotted this sign.
No sign like this near Buffalo, not at Detroit, not at Sarnia and not at Sault Ste. Marie.

Please see my reply to a previous poster.
The guy is throwing out meaningless figures. All the SAS controllers I looked at had 8-16 SAS lanes.
If he was to be accurate, he would point out that FC is only 8Gb/s, that is why they aggregate them on one card just like the SAS controllers do.
He either does not know his material, or he is snowing us
Sorry if I wasn't clear.
1 - HP Server
6 - SAS 2.0 cards with 8 SAS lanes each
6 - HP D2000 enclosures with 25 drives each.
OK, I read the article now. I call BULL!

In my view, saying it comes from the left is _part_ of a true statement, Just because it can be part of a true statement does not make it truth.
Sometimes giving an incomplete picture conveys a lie.
