The university's response completely owns the bank.
"1. Why don't you have the balls to complain to the guy who actually published it? 2. Why do you suddenly object to research based on something that was already published, like, years ago, and which we warned you about before? 3. Why are you defrauding your customers by pretending your shitty system is secure, and on what grounds do you demand our help with that? 4. Fuck you this is a anteater^W university."
"Arms race" is a single term that stands for competitors attempting to gain a technical or material advantage faster than each other. "Supercomputer race" would simply be a race between supercomputers.
This would cut specifically your waiting time, while leaving the worst case, average and best case untouched. It would improve efficiency in the same way queue-cutting would - not at all.
It appears that Bank of America has absolute confidence in its senior management. On one hand, I can sort of see why they would do this for all their executives; if they singled out anyone it'd be kind of an admission of guilt. But this way, they're sending the message that their entire upper management level is corrupt.
This is because if any one line slows because of an issue, the entry queue continues to have customers reach check-out optimally
How is that ironic? Doesn't everyone know that? There is no customer configuration in which a single queue isn't more efficient than multiple queues, in average or worst-case waiting time or throughput. You could probably model that and prove it mathematically without needing simulation or experiments.
If you know it's a placebo, but also know that placebos work sometimes when you don't know it's a placebo, you are still taking something that you believe in a way will work. All this shows is that patients are able to deceive themselves without the help of a doctor.
(I'd be interested, though, if the benefit of knowingly taking a placebo is negatively correlated with medical experience and scientific understanding. In other words, if it works better when you're not smart enough to understand why it shouldn't work.)
It's web-based and written in PHP, obviously, which doesn't suit everyone. It's also a latecomer to the ajax stuff and (while it does dynamically load content) still considers pop-up windows a valid part of a web UI. Not pretty. However, I've had great experiences managing a genealogy database with it, as well as printing some nice charts.
Wikileaks' official position seems to be that the file is not blackmail material, but a failsafe measure to get the data public if their operations are disrupted too much to continue their gradual, controlled release. Also that the file simply contains all the material they are going to release anyway, eventually.
"We will no longer process payments to them because they are not consistent with our policy for who we process payments to."
This tautology neatly covers the fact that Wikileaks has been charged with precisely zero crimes over Cablegate. These upstanding organizations all like to pretend that they are following the law, but they are actually taking the law into their own hands. I hope they get the shit sued out of them.
Slashdot Mirror
They just put out a third release candidate, so I guess they're ahead. Took long enough, of course.
Yes, but whoever leaks them should be careful not to brag about it in a chatroom.
It will be as if a million Google servers cried out in terror.
Jaywalkers, I guess.
But put it this way: 2512 suspects were caught, among them suspected murderers, rapists and gunmen. That sounds awesome, doesn't it?
And isn't that just a bit ironic.

Sounds like a self-important megalomaniac fraudulent asshole, but damn if he doesn't have style.
Huh. How could he possibly tell who's innocent at that distance?

Exactly; Gollum was one of the most expressive and real CGI characters I've ever seen.
Yeah, I guess it'd be pretty important if the zombie uprising ever happens, or the world is taken over by sentient dolls.
You can assess behavior and intent, however, which is much more important in the short term.

Maybe they're waiting for it to get even cheaper. With the MPAA's current antics, it probably will.
Or just skip step one. :P
Ssshhh!
Yeah, but if nano-scale computers are ever mass-produced...
(...it would still take longer than the age of the universe to run out of addresses.)

"Opting in" will likely place customers on a permanent record that will be "accidentally" leaked to a "citizens for decency" movement to publish.

So, when can we expect a Destiny feature film?
