I'm assuming this is a new installation potentially piggy backing off of some dark fiber. I'm wondering if they are partnering with XMission.

As a physicist and a musician, I know that many of those things can be "modeled", which is a some weird term somebody started using to denote simulation. The accuracy of your simulation depends on how far down you want to go into

you're supposed to map caps lock to control and never look back.

This is nice gesture, but in my experience, especially for medium/large experiments, it almost definitely won't be applicable to analysis software, private datasets/raw data/metadata, and more specifically middleware.

If Prop 13 were limited to primary residence OR to those aged 65 or older, or had means testing, that would make a lot more sense. Of course, somebody decided it would be easy to apply it to everyone, even large commercial properties. The f

there are several factors involved in this: 1. Apparently this family has tried this once before and failed, but learned from their mistakes. 2. The lawyer is a real estate broker. 3. This bypasses having to pay for the tenant to be evicted

There's no shortcuts in science and knowledge. TED is in the business of presenting shortcuts. TED seemed interesting from a lightning-talk perspective, but it's clear the goal isn't to whet your appetite, the goal is to deli

Whenever someone gripes that rsync/scp is slow, it's usually because they didn't bother to look into proper solutions for their problem. rsync will barely fill the pipe in many/most cases. Using GridFTP or bbcp is usual

I'm pretty sure this is a continuation of research imaging the mimivirus at LCLS at SLAC.

it's different. SSC would have been much, much better than LHC.

...and it would be readily defeated with some Xanax, and a bunch of false positives from people afraid of flying, authority figures, or missing their flight. Or any of 1000 other human reasons why people get stressed.

I don't think you understand HTTPS. The URLs are, in fact, encrypted. That's why it's called TLS.

From what I've heard from people close-ish to that experiment, it was always a PoC to see of muon tomography could be used to passively scan trucks for nuclear material.

I'd like to see some research to backup your first claim if you can point me to some.

Yeah I did that experiment too, on a Saturday. it blows super hard. you can see the effects of People running up and down the stairs. if you stand within a meter too long at the right position, you can distort the gravitational force. If yo

The K Sabatiers are great value knife. The Stainless isn't quite as hard as the Forschners, but it's close and the price is only modestly more. I'm too scared to deal with high carbon blades because I live in the outer Richmo

This only holds true so long as all data is on tape and you don't need a replica before sending it off, in case someone hits your petamobile. That's because your bandwidth is limited by your tape library, the drives, the network t

For bulk transfer of many files, and especially transfer over a local/nearby network that may be hold true, but as a general practice, and especially for serial/one off transfer of very large files, GNU parallel won't help. H

I think their small size and specificity (and given the fact that a large majority of what they have is low-margin paperback fiction) is probably what makes it really hard to be viable, since there's no real way to ratchet up volume. T

Have you ever lived outside Silicon Valley and looked for electronic parts? If you're in a small town in most places in the US, RadioShack is quite possibly the ONLY place you will be able to find a resistor, potentiometer, or even a f
