Definitely worth checking out on some VMs..... But know that to really use it, you want decent CPU speed, as much ECC ram as you can put in there, an SSD for cache (just one - doesn't have to match the raid size I don't think - it'l help a

Good points - people do need to remember that ZFS was designed for going big. IT does nothing to prevent memory corruption by design.... it was assumed (required?) that your server would use ECC ram. You also need to ensure you have adequ

It's anecdotal, and maybe it's just me, but I've been a computer junkie, at work and at home for a good 20 years, i touch-type, somewhere in the top 5%, my posture sucks (other than where my hands sit relative to the keyboard) and I've had

by dedward 14y ago
Just a wild guess - not sure, but do you touch-type properly posture wise (all other considerations aside). I don't mean do you use the exact proper keys - but hands lifted from table, not resting on anything, etc etc? Real coding - it's m

Blame the customer? Yeah, that works. This is badly worded - no question. I'm no lawyer, but I imagine there may be some law about actually calling it a "tax" - tax tends to imply something imposed by the government. They are of course f

true, but by that logic, once we give them one thing, we should just openthem up to everything? no. my bankaccounts are important, but they also come with fraudprotections. the complete picture of my life, all data mined, possibly misinterp

the main point of a gpl version, copyrights held by google, is to let people hack away, and if they wantdifferentlicense terms go to google.

As an aside, I would drop the very informal use of "thru" and use "through". I almost said "Thru is not a word" - but some searching says it's made it's way into dictionaries, to my surprise (and probably to many others my age, you run t

Don't know about the specifics in the article, but modern research is showing (has already shown, I think...) that the brain shows far more plasticity than they thought not long ago. Things (not specificially intelligence) that were thoug

in the end, nobody can control it, it being, by defininition, a collection of independent networks using some common protocols and whatnot to cooperate and communicate. thats why it exists in the first place.

you are part of the equation, no?

or any sequence, no? not without context.

"right" needs a definition. true enough for these teasers in many settings, but mathematically, irrelevant, no?

0 is correct pragmatacally, and makes the puzzle harder for those not wise that 0!=1 by the definition of factorial. (as opposed to proof.... factorial being a shorthand for math and ths being convenient. if there were a proof it would be

If you want your kids to read faster than you get them on speed reading training - just takes constant training. Teach them sign language, while young when it's really easy to learn (harder for us adults, though apparently not hard either)

No that it's necessary, but I can't see any comment anywhere here or on the dotsies about numbers... Also - diacriticials. This works fine in English, but pretty much every other place that uses the latin alphabet needs to use some kind of

Without any surrounding reference points, they are indeed exactly the same. Reading individual single characters where vertical spacing is your only key, with no reference, or even with some, especially the single dot versions, could be tro

True enough - but paypal is not a regular merchant provider. Go get one of those - they communicate.

Could that risk not have been averted by paying closer attention to merchant agreements and shopping around more? Your merchant account has a limit. When you're about to blow it out of the water, you pick up the phone and call your merchant

"It is not appropriate for those companies to be mitigating that risk using the credit from their merchant account." If I'm not mistaken, if this were an actual, say, visa merchant account, all parties would have much clearer rules laid out

It sounded to me more like a simple reference to re-enforce that this is not about theoretical stuff, it's about a piece of software actually being used all over the place.

Is that what the TSA actually said, or just your interpretation of it?
