I recall reading at some point that things really start to get out of hand re: gossip somewhere around 12 nodes. Not sure if that's a modern limit or not though.

First thing I thought of was an mnesia table, glad to even be in the same ballpark as Mr. Ostinelli. Is the slowdown as the cluster size increases is purely due to cluster gossip?

Ever since I started getting involved in SCCM stuff, I've been astounded at how much breath and emotion people are eager to waste defending their choice, or technique or strategy or whathaveyou. SCCM system discussions should be banned

I'm currently tending a 16 year old Java codebase, with very little in the way of maintenance in the years since it was written. "Software over time tends towards monsterism." is apt in my mind.

A common analog in the U.S. Is to place the tender across the till dividers until the change is counted out, to prevent just such a scenario.

Unrelated, but interesting custom: Koreans (possibly others of the Asian persuasion) generally will hand you change with both hands (possibly with a small bow), it's considered rude to hand cash with only one hand. No idea why.

Department stores in the U.S. (At least in Minneapolis) used to ferry payment via baskets on wires from the clerk up to an accounting room where the money was counted, change made, and delivered back to the customer via the same contraption

I've always assumed this policy was in place to limit potential liability. Depts have been sued for non-lethally using deadly force. The logic goes that if a person is not dangerous enough to kill, one should not be firing a gun at th

The ol' tack in the shoe trick was specifically noted as bunk by the examiner I knew, and the sphincter clench is semi-widely known. What I would find difficult with each of these tricks, is that you have to execute them during control
