Though not many people will need huge multi-centre databases it has cracked some of the big problems. Interestingly some of these don't appear to affect google's main business.
Spanner has two features that are difcult to implement in a distributed database: it provides externally consistent reads and writes, and globally-consistent reads across the database at a timestamp.
One of the issues with large distributed data systems was that reads at different nodes could retrieve data at a different (though consistent) state. I have seen this on google, a search shows a recent news item, then another doesn't show it again, before it finally covers all nodes and is generally available.
As somebody in the blog comments already noted.. many organizations use public IP space internally without advertising this space to the internet. They generally NAT outgoing traffic over a smaller block that may even fall outside their large (/8 in this case) block.
So somebody sees this organisation doesn't advertise their/8 and decides they should renumber possibly thousands of internal systems? Good luck with that:)
True, but they needn't do that now. All they need to do is interconnect their sites with VPNs and they can sell the addresses for public use but keep them for private
This must be worth more than the Bank of Scotland. Lets sell it quick. The Government is actually much more likely to hold on to it until everyone is on IPv6 and it becomes worthless.
Just quick writing - I know that Catholic priests specialise in sexual abuse whereas teaching Catholic monks and nuns specialised in the physical abuse. I can't edit the post now but certainly read it as "both sexual and violent physical abuse".
I'm certain you'd find similar condemnations for the cartoons episode, if you looked.
This is not by a muslim religious leader but an organisation who's aims is "To work for a more enlightened appreciation of Islam and Muslims in the wider society". By "more enlightened" read dhimmi.
Wow. That was a little harsh?
In case you haven't realized this, there are groups, right here in America, that do that sort of thing too - boycotting books, TV shows, movies, or anything that has content they don't agree with. Why was it necessary for the bigoted slur on Muslims?
Typical Muslim equivocation. Other groups boycotting stores means that it is OK to drag people out of embassies, torture, and murder them. "We are just doing what those Catholics who said 'don't buy the davinci code' did'". I say no it is not the same, if Muslims said "don't watch youtube" then I would not have a problem with it. Its because they react in their traditional manner of killing, rioting, etc.
100% more than those I have heard saying that killing over cartoons etc. is unjustified and wrong.
So, one?
Dozens. Its not so much the number (I am sure that many more than I have heard say it) as the fact that it is never contradicted. Contrast this with the number of Christians objecting to the Westboro Baptists saying "God hates fags", or celebrating death of soldiers - or Christians bombing abortion clinics. To put it in perspective I have only heard Catholic priests talk about papal infallability a couple of times, but since it is discussed in the open an none disagree I know it is the teaching of all the millions of priests.
I have heard many Muslim teachers and Imams say that killing people over films, books, cartoons, lifestyle, or choice of belief is not just right but an obligation.
Out of interest, how many?
How about as a percentage of the 1.6 Million imams in the world (rough estimate, based on one imam per 1000 muslims)?
100% more than those I have heard saying that killing over cartoons etc. is unjustified and wrong.
"so surely this insult to Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism will have the members of respective religions storming embassies and murdering people all over the place? "
I suspect you're too young to remember the deaths that 'Christians' caused after having seen the movie 'Jud Süß'
The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival on September 8, 1940 and received rave reviews, earning the top award.
Yes, I am too young to remember Nazi propaganda films. leaving aside whether or not it was a "Christian" film - it is much more aligned to NAziism than Christianity, I will make two points:
1) I doubt if you would find any mainstream Christian denomination that would support this today
2) Muslims are fond of pointing out a time in history or an individual who acts like them and use it as justification. They say "yes we blew up the World Trade Centre, but McVeigh bombed the Oklahoma building", or "Yes we go on murderous rampages but so did Medieval Christians". In my view the attempt to say that it is OK to behave in the worst way that anybody else ever has done is wrong. Setting of bombs and killing is wrong, even if you can show that someone else did it before.
The problem isn't as much Islam as the assholes who put themselves in charge of preaching "Islam" to the masses.
To paraphrase, "the problem is not so much Islam as what the followers of Islam believe and is taught by the leaders of Islam.
Just because the Catholic church is a mess (and it's gotten much better), doesn't mean Christianity is bad.
The Catholic church is guilty of many things, indifference, cover-up, etc. but I have not heard one Catholic priest say that child abuse is right, and that those who follow Catholicism should support it and encourage their kids to put up with it. I have heard many Muslim teachers and Imams say that killing people over films, books, cartoons, lifestyle, or choice of belief is not just right but an obligation.
this is not about freedom of speech, this is about not angering the animal. say, even if u had the right to poke the monkey in the cage, would it be wise to do it?
freedom only works when the involved partys can reason, and have reasonable education. this is not true about large parts of the world.
the people in the middle east are not human beings, as it is today. their minds can not handle higher functions like duality, humor, poetry, analogy and such...
they are animals, posessed by an abstract entity, Muhammed. be polite and hard towards them, but do not provoke or insult them.
Firstly this is about Islam, not the Middle East. The funny thing is they want to be seen as sub-human. Their cry is "look what you made me do with your pictures/words. You should have known that Muslims are not capable of self control". And we are supposed to give them special status as an "exemption to free speech" because of this.
Noone would be trying to watch this without the Streisand effect. I can't see how anyone could take such a terrible piece of filmmaking seriously. Hell, it doesn't even make fucking sense most of the time, it's just so disjointed and jarring. Blocking it worldwide would be doing humanity a favour.
Hello, we're talking MUZZIES here. They go nuts over books, cartoons, TV shows - just about anything. The more you limit free speech the more they will want it limited.
A good example of this is that the average IQ of the USA is 98, lower than the UK at 100 or Hong Kong at 107. This is not because most Americans have a lower IQ, but because some sub groups have a much lower IQ.
Are they going to block this image from the Onion, entitled "No One Murdered Because Of This Image"? After all everyone tells us that Muslims are no worse than people of other religions, so surely this insult to Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism will have the members of respective religions storming embassies and murdering people all over the place?
If not some people might suspect that Islam really is a more violent and savage religion than the others
Similar thing applies in the Westminster system, it's up to the prime minister when to call the election, the only real limit is that it must be done before the end of their term. If parliament is gridlocked the queen (or her representative) can call an election to unclog things, such a scenario is called a double dissolution and AFAIK was last done here in Oz in the mid-70's when the governor general sacked the government because it's budget was rejected by the senate twice in a row.
That used to be the case until the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011. Now the Westminster parliament can only be dissolved early if there is a vote of no confidence (which is not reversed within 14 days) or with a 2/3 majority - which for practical purposes means the opposition would also have to support it.
Sorry that should say evidently The House of Representatives of the Japanese Diet can be dissolved at any time by the Emperor on the advice of the Prime Minister in addition to the regular elections at the end of the term.

With Microsoft you can make every day a 0 day!

If you really think anyone can do the job I recommend you peruse this site some.
Wow. I think the follow up comments are more telling than the original post. I couldn't believe that so many people would not understand a singleton!
From the picture I would say that if you get close enough to read the "Danger Radioactive" you've already got problems.
I have not heard one Catholic priest say that child abuse is right
But you will see them cover up and move priests around to avoid charges. In my book, this is definitely saying, "It's OK... we got your back."
Also, I'm not sure why you chose "abuse" as your descriptive word. Are you hoping we forget the "sexual" part of it?
Let's get you started on differentiating "abuse" and "sex abuse".
Just quick writing - I know that Catholic priests specialise in sexual abuse whereas teaching Catholic monks and nuns specialised in the physical abuse. I can't edit the post now but certainly read it as "both sexual and violent physical abuse".
I found this condemnation of the current riots within 30 seconds of searching. http://www.mcb.org.uk/media/presstext.php?ann_id=501
I'm certain you'd find similar condemnations for the cartoons episode, if you looked.

An organization built upon the premise that you can't trust anyone found out the hard way that they couldn't trust anyone? Shocker.
Well so you say.
