    The primary purpose for PirateBay is for contributing to infringement of copyright. (to use the prosecutor's words) Or... The primary purpose for PirateBay is for contributing to distribution of binary numbers (data).

  3. Long study on Switchgrass Makes Better Ethanol Than Corn · · Score: 1

    I am sure that they evaluated the quality of the ethanol very often. And I suspect they needed 5 years to get sober. Hard job.

  6. Nice, but what for? on Terabit-Per-Second Class Connections over FTTH · · Score: -1

    Do we need terabit connections (TCP or whatever)? I will be happy if I can get 50 Mbps as it should be enough for any HDTV streaming.
    Unless you are running particle collider and you need to ofshore all your measurement data to distant grid network. But they are usually very boring to watch :)

  7. And ... on Half a Million Database Servers 'Have no Firewall' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... how many IP addresses have their TCP port 80 opened? Maybe let's start with installing firewall on 83.138.183.169, so I don't have to waste time reading useless research.

    If you ever studied queueing (yes! 4 vowels in a row!) theory then you probably:

    3. know Erlang-B formula by heart
    4. know that software for switching centers is huge

    Using link load as routing metric is like asking someone to shoot yourself in the foot.

    Is it ("analyzing the CPU's Branch Predictor states through spying on a single quasi-parallel computation process") possible on modern PC with modern OS? Doesn't switching of the process on CPU also change branch prediction?
