Well, that brightened my day. No matter how much my wife may harass me for my tastes in music, only on a site branded as "News for Nerds" can I not be the least bit surprised to see lyrics from Gilbert and Sullivan.
This is Slashdot - I believe the meme you're looking for is "Beowulf cluster", and such a cluster of these things would probably even meet the recommended specs for Crysis.
Clockwise, just including the grocery section of my local Super Walmart:
Frozen pizza
Popcorn chicken
Fruits and veggies
Meat
Milk
Endcap with soda
Endcap with Chips
Endcap with on sale dessert
You are correct - my meals are much better when I don't have to hunt them myself. I will stick to the outside aisles of the grocery section.
My local store happens to be a Super Walmart. Based upon your shopping advice, my grocery list, going counterclockwise, is:
Drugs
Barbeque Grill
Hunting Equipment
Electronics
Dog Food
Milk
Vegetables
I would definitely enjoy eating meals at your house...about half the time.
I was considering lauding your rigorous statistics, but I can't find anything to support it. The closest thing I can find is the fact that there have been zero deaths of human cannonballs in the last 18 months. This suggests to me that flying in nothing at all is better than flying in an airplane. While ducks and other seasonal game may disagree on the point, I would think that most other birds would agree that plane-less flight is actually safer on a per-mile basis.
I am insufficiently familiar with how the electronic trading system works at the level they're utilizing it, so if someone has some direction on where I can research it more, that would be great, and maybe I'm arguing for what is substantially the same solution, but why would we need to create such a fundamental change as the institution of "rounds".
Couldn't the calculation of those bits of data which rely on outstanding orders simply be done less frequently? I'm assuming it isn't truly realtime, so why not just make it every second instead? Wouldn't that achieve roughly the same result of removing the value of that latency?
Posting to undo mis-modding.
I would never consider your particular counterargument, but I tip my hat at the thought process that leads to "I have not yet begun to insult you!"
I'm just glad someone is finally remarking how silly this is. I've been saying for years that ladder helmets are necessary. My kids, before doing any dangerous activity, go to the closet and get their helmet out. Whether that be their ladder-climbing helmet, their swing set helmet, or their swimming pool slide helmet, they know that being safe is better than being dead. Anything that requires being more than standing height from the ground requires a helmet. The kids are excited about it, too - for their birthdays this year, they know they'll be getting new "going down the stairs" helmets.
I checked my password, and found that it will take 25.76 million trillion centuries. Hooray - no one that's never read XKCD will ever guess my password.
So, based on the MPAA model for determining damages, doesn't 300K bootleg DVDs represent something approaching the GDP of many small nations? I mean, I haven't done the math, but 300K, times $10 on the shelf at Walmart, means that these companies lost somewhere over $200B.
Considering he received flags, which have a monetary value, he was getting revenue from this operation. This is a criminal enterprise of epic proportions.
This 92 year old man, a patriot, who supported hundreds of thousands of troops who were serving their country...must be the absolute scum of the earth.
But seriously - as long as I can make it patriotic and for a great cause, I can get away with something that has quite clearly crossed the line into "This has got to be illegal, no matter how you cut it"? Doesn't that suggest something is wrong with the law in the first place? What if I was making bootlegs for crippled orphans?
I initially read just the title and though "Wow - they've honored the creator of the magnet." Personally, I'd like to get some prizes out there for the guy who created electricity. Also for that one guy who invented rain. I mean, that invention alone paved the way for innumerable advances in the field of "inventing life forms".
When I was a kid, TV shows had songs about the alphabet and counting. Apparently, The Wiggles are doing children's edutainment about theoretical physics? Wow...
I find this very interesting. In particular, I've had a number of people talk to me about how awesome Macs are, in particular discussing the adoption rate of OSX, etc. One of the things that continually gets pointed to is Apple's growth as evidence of this. While I don't pretend to have a strong grasp on the various numbers bandied about, if such a large percentage of Apple's revenue is solely from the iPhone, it really puts a damper on the idea that "based on Apple's growth, everyone will be using a Mac in just a few months" (hyperbole mine). Don't get me wrong, OSX market share may be increasing (possibly by large numbers), but my anecdotal examination of the world around me didn't seem to jive with what everyone was claiming.
For this to be a Faustian bargain, I expect that after the trial is concluded people will be finding body parts from jurors all over the courtyard and throughout the courtroom. Goethe didn't describe a particularly pleasant scene at the end there.
I'm more interested in the secret, hidden grocery list embedded in unused portions of the grocery list you found. That's where the person kept the REAL list. The rest was something to make you think you found their grocery list if you happened to stop them at checkout and demand the password.
I tried to stuff a horse's head into my computer case. Sure enough, now the computer won't turn on. That'll teach those drives to offer up incriminating evidence!

Ending is better than mending.
This isn't an argument, it's just contradiction.

That's the half of the week I'd enjoy. The other half of the week - Vegetarian/Dog Food - not so much.

Well now, I did not see that one coming.
Touché, indeed.

Besides, bathtubs can't fly. That's just silly.

So, no true rapist gets their victim pregnant?

Because the presence or absence of global warming has no direct bearing on the shape of our planet?

Let me know when they achieve an output sufficient to power something larger, like a hovercraft. I would certainly make use of it there.
But at least the robot wouldn't be bumping into walls...unless of course MichaelSmith had that problem.
