I don’t care about Sandia or the Department of Justice or any of them,” General Jabiri said. “I know more about this issue than the Americans do. In fact, I know more about bombs than anyone in the world.
although a circuit breaker might not be super fast, it is still pretty fast. i'd say a sub second range. is a 110v jolt for a split second enough to kill people that aren't on pacemakers or that have serious heart conditions? not defending the usage of circuit breakers as safety here, just curious if my assumptions are corect.
if you don't believe it exists, you're less likely to experience it
well, in that same sense, is it possible that the headache is only there because you believe it to be there? with all due respect, i don't know your medical background. just throwing out food for thought.
I'm finalizing work on a new species of cow that eats unnecessary grass that has been dried. It then produces plenty of methane and CO2 to feed these plants.
Lets get this straight. There are no blurred lines here. This is a desktop box running a server OS. There are no blurred lines here. This is absolutely not data center level hardware. What kind of server has audio jacks, mini dvi ports, fire wire ports, and mini display ports? Just because I can run Linux, MySQL, and Apache on a mini-ITX system doesn't mean that said system is all of a sudden going to start showing up in data centers. Lets make this very clear... This is a desktop system running a server OS.
Hey, I believe that. When you don't have the assistance of someone that actually knows what they're doing (ie: you have no idea what you're doing), then everything will seem perfectly fine until you realize your emails aren't going out or your ftp users can't connect.
Sure, I love how the small form factor is small enough to keep on a desk but heavy enough that all my papers I put underneath it won't just go flying away. I've always wanted a pearl white paper weight with connectors on it.
survival of the fittest is not about you surviving the longest. its you being able to spread your genes the most. besides, you don't know that prior to the female eating the male that the male may have attempted to eat the eggs or maybe the female needs the extra energy or a host of other probable reasons.
I'm going to bet that when 3com sold that patents to USEI, there was some agreement that USEI would not sue specific other manufacturers which probably included the companies you mentioned. If the two networking power houses are anything like the CPU powerhouses, there are numerous patents 3com owns that Cisco infringes and numerous patents Cisco owns that 3com infringes upon. To sum it up, USEI probably inherited the MAD that 3com used to have.
Dropping the a-bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima is akin to dropping nerve gas on Frankfurt and Hamburg.
not so. Never gas doesn't do any infrastructure damage. Even if the buildings have no relevance to the war, the view of total obliteration is enough to really change your perception of the current situation. However, I'm willing to bet that they dropped those bombs in strategic locations so as to best slow down the military industry in Japan.
the most common reason i run into is because sometimes, a table becomes too big or receives too much traffic that a dedicated server is needed for it (i'm aware of the sharding option but thats much more difficult to implement and has limitations). so you split that table off from the rest of the tables. one table we had an issue with was our users table. now normally, you would split off some user data into other tables and do a join between the main user table and some of the secondary data on the other tables. but since these tables reside on different physical servers, foreign key constraints and joins are impossible. pulling from two different servers is going to drastically slow down the query. so what you need to do is data duplication to either copy the table (which you may then run into issues with real-time replication) or copy the rows directly into the users table. more info... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denormalization
when i said finding the hardware to store 100PB is difficult, i didn't mean finding enough harddrives that we could hook up to a network. thats easy to do. but if you have a 100PB file, what do you do? thats where you need distributed file systems like hadoop to come in. then you have the issue with trying to process that much data. running a processing thread on one node will take forever for the processing to get done.
A LOT of research has been put into improving algorithms for working on large scales. By not teaching our youth all that we have learned in school, they are just going to have to figure it out themselves an continue to reinvent the wheel. How are we supposed to advance if we don't put them in a situation to learn and apply our new found knowledge?
thats absolutely not true. the process is vastly different when it comes to working with 100 MB or 10 petabytes. lets take databases for instance. if you have 100MB of data, you can just store the entire database on one server. when it comes to 100 PB of data, its even difficult to find the hardware capable of storing that much data. you need to start looking at distributed systems and distributed systems is such a broad field in itself.
when i graduated in 2005, a lot of the techniques i was taught worked great for working with database systems that handled a few hundred thousand rows. then i got a job at an internet company that had tables with over 80 million rows. all that normalization stuff i learned in school had to be thrown out. times may have changed now, but when i was in school, not only did i not learn how to handle "internet scale" data sets, i was taught the wrong methods to handle large data sets.
undergrad college students should at least get a basic intro to large data sets, if not have a class completely dedicated to learning on how to work with those data sets. school is supposed to prepare you for the work force. at least give the students the option to take a class that covers those topics if they want to go into those industries. i sure wish i had that option
ok, whatever. net income is what i meant. the numbers i quoted were from net income. you can nitpick my vernacular all you want but the point is, you were completely fabricating "facts" about dell's well being and dell is hardly struggling.
That was the most confusing asshole statement I ever read. I got lost after the 3rd asshole and all I gather from reading that is there are assholes killing assholes. Sounds like a win win situation to me.
whoosh? what? seriously... you must have no concept of finance. struggling to stay alive? according to this, dell posted 2.5 billion in earnings the past 3 years. and according to this, their earnings doubled last quarter compared to the quarter before. thats HARDLY struggling to stay alive. according to this, as of the last quarter, apple had 5.6 billion in cash but and they owe 5.7 billion. thats a net negative cash on hand. as for dell, they have 11.7 billion in cash assets. i don't know where you pulled your claims from but according to the company's SEC filings, you seem to have everything backwards.

My point was that there are no lines being blurred. The summary is just more sensationalizing.

LOL, you've been modded funny because your idea seems so ridiculous yet after reading your comments, it becomes apparent you're being serious.
Nobody drives 45 on the interstate
Obviously, you've never driven in LA during the day
LOL i wish i could mod you funny. I say we give them some of Israel
Well at least the US won't be the only country with mortgages under water
