I can understand that somebody who is paid hourly has no incentive to do anything work related once they leave the door (or clock if you prefer). For salaried employees, there are going to be times you need to work late, weekends, check em

After 2008 I dropped cable. This is sometimes a hassle for sports, but otherwise it has been a boon. No more MSNBC, FOX, CNN talking head non-sense 24/7. That stuff just sucks you in and pounds you into submission, whether on politica

Memories...only dealt with cards for a couple of years, often just for archival. It was always great fun putting a couple cards of your roommate's deck out of order. And still have an EOF card as a bookmark in my old COBOL book

Zoho is mostly OK though they have had a few outages in the past year and the IMAP flakes every now and then. But for free, it works. My fallback were I to move my group off Zoho to something paid would probably be Rackspace. ymmv

Wonderful. Glad I recently added OCSP support to servers. Arg! So does this affect TLSv1.2 only servers that do NOT support client renegotiation of any type?

As I recall he was a bit of a conspiracy type as well with his 5th man theory, very Angleton. So yes the book is interesting but bear in mind the agenda as well

Back in the day I recall using an editor called Foxe on a 2060. Was easier to me than TECO for basic editing. But the really cool geeks had already begun moving on to Emacs. This was a time when punch cards were still being used, mostly b

No that is not really the TL;DR of her post (which on her site is a condensed version of what she put on Starts with a Bang). Her main point is that the HEP community has been racing down a road for many years and probably missed the "

There is nothing patentable in their application. All is obvious, not novel or has prior art. Case in point: gang switch in the era of voice brokers. Nothing says 'synchronized' execution better which is all this application is.

You beat me to posting it. It does sound like Jester is leaning more towards new strong interactions. Everytime they call the SM dead, it lives.

Once again the boatloads of cash story rears its head. Except that the figures stated are inflated, most certainly in the case of Apple who already spent a good amount of that cash by issuing debt to pay for dividends and stock buybacks.

Not so specific to this new card but wtf are cpus at 65 TDP and gpus at 200+? It just seems crazy that we have all other elements of computing heavily pushing for lower power use for many years now and graphics rips the other way.
