It's not massively hard, but it's also not trivial either, and most ISPs have a "If it's not broke, don't fix it" policy for fundamental things on their network.

I'm not sure you can quantify the risk of loss with e-books being significantly higher than with physical books. There are a lot of house fires, any one of them could destroy your book collection (even the smoke damage alone can make then u

Lots of the comments below read like they're full of bitterness and jealousy to me, I suspect the comment is targeted at them rather than the original article.

MySQL can do parallel querying through some of the less common back-ends, like Infinidb, which are more suited to warehousing than OLTP like InnoDB/XtraDB. http://infinidb.org/component/content/article/53/158

It would certainly be months or years, depending on patches really rather than an outage.

Toshio, your comment below is [dead] so I can't reply, but the databases vary from 10's of GB to multi-TB depending on their use. The DBs are often very write intensive on the master, with as much reading as possible done on slave databases

SQL Server 2008 and upwards are incredibly solid, we use it extensive at my current work place doing telecoms stuff and have very few issues. It's not what I would have picked (I come from a Linux and Oracle background), but I've been very

To me, it's one thing to capitalise on a companies on-going downtime issues, that indicated an inability or unwillingness to resolve the issue, but it's another thing entirely to take advantage of a situation that could as easily be affecti

Curiously, a couple of weeks since that post was made, Google have obviously updated their results, I no longer get a "Died:" record when I search for "amy wilentz". Perhaps another case of Google ignoring you until you get a bit of publici

From the asm FAQ, it seems like GC will happen: Q. Can asm.js serve as a VM for managed languages, like the JVM or CLR? A. Right now, asm.js has no direct access to garbage-collected data; an asm.js program can only interact indirectly with

The legal advice that companies like IBM and intel would have gotten in these situations would almost certainly precluded firing people over it, conservatism runs both ways.

And don't forget the amazing amount of functionality that's available for free using the plugin system. It's a classic software development problem - Wordpress's complexity is both it's strength and weakness, and will probably be it's downf

If you're shocked, then you've not been paying the slightest bit of attention. Don't trust free services for anything important, and don't trust "unlimited" services, ever!

You're probably right, but it's been up over a year now that I can see, the code commits are from Dec 2011: https://github.com/levskaya/jslinux-deobfuscated/commits/mas... So by now it's likely that Fabrice Bellard is aware of it

The difference is between MLC (unreliable) and SLC (reliable) SSDs. MLC (Multi-Level Cell) SSDs are slightly slower, a lot cheaper, and less reliable than SLC (Single Level Cell) SSDs. Fundamentally, an MLC stores more data in each cell (he

Exactly, to say an SSD is 8x the cost of a hard drive, or even 2x the cost, is missing the point. Even an expensive SSD is _cheaper_ than a HD on an IOPs to IOPs comparison, and IOPs is what matters to most people.

I'm not sure where you're based (and I'd guess it makes a difference), but in the UK going contracting is incredibly easy once you make the decision. Save up a couple of months salary if you can, make your CV all shiny, and send it out to e

Not a huge thing, but your HTML isn't valid - for example, there's Google analytics stuff after the closing </html> tag. That kind of thing is never going to help http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fsearchco.de%2...

Very good to see a cloud provider agree with that, it seems a lot of them want to try and force the wrong workloads into their systems :)

I think that's the standard question for cloud computing. Is your system: * Very consistent (no significant peaks or troughs of ~5x normal usage) * Has predictable growth * Comfortable with half of your capacity being down for x hours due t

From what I understand, link building, in the semi-legitimate form at least, is contacting bloggers and journalists and saying "Hey, you might really like product X, here's a 30 day trial", sending out press releases, making sure you're in
