25% is the maximum "aliens" can own or vote in an airline flying domestically in the US, so while it might be a small stake, it's also the largest possible stake.

I would say Debian is not vulnerable (to step 6), even for users of the rolling "unstable" release, since maintainers need to sign package uploads with their PGP key, which is usually protected by a separate password.

Why do you want more scrutiny for Google's patents? As far as I know, they have never used their patents aggressively, only as a defense. In an environment containing trolls like Apple and Microsoft, I can't blame them.

The figures quoted for the cluster are about 25 times higher than those quoted for a single machine, so I would guess the cluster consists of 25 machines. 20 kW, or 166 amperes at 120 volts, per machine seems a bit high to me.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. The strength of all other links is irrelevant. A better measure for a deal like this is the geometric mean of its components. If one component is zero, the entire deal is worth zero, but othe

calloc is a library function, as opposed to a system call, so it calling memset is no different from the caller doing so. calloc will do the write in "copy on write". Calling memset on every byte in a buffer should qualify as &q

This is on Linux with glibc, and according to strace, mmap was called exactly once at startup for a ~1 MB buffer, then never again.

I think you're answering to the wrong comment. I'm saying calloc doesn't actually take milliseconds (which would have been absurd), so feel free to use it always. Calling calloc/free on a 1 MB buffer seems to take about
