No it won't. It's optional. If you prefer to pay 2.75% per swipe and no monthly fee you can. It saves a ton of money for merchants who make over $10,000 per month. Those are the people who will sign up for the new plan.

There's no upper bound. Businesses making $30k per month still save money with the monthly pricing. It's a good deal for any business swiping over $10k/month on average.

As long as decoding is fast I don't see a problem. I would love to spend substantially more time encoding to get a better size/quality output, and I'm sure most mass-media distributors feel the same way.

Sorry, yes. That's what I get for posting before coffee :) The cost of fork() is linear with respect to memory size.
35.
by nnnnnnnn 14y ago
On the contrary, fork() has scalability trouble as memory grows. Even with copy on write, copying page tables is still O(1) with respect to address space (granted, with a significant divisor). This overhead becomes apparent as programs grow

Is radio communication with the rover even possible at night? We only have line of sight to mars during the martian daytime.

Clumping (or more dangerous: aligning in a single rigid pole) is not the only danger. Multiple magnets, or magnets and other ferromagnetic objects can attract while in different portions of the bowel -- pinching two walls together. This wil

No, they cannot. Sovereign immunity is absolute. US citizens can only sue when granted permission. As 30thElement noted, the Federal Tort Claims Act grants this permission to sue. But there is no such right, and it is within the Federal gov

Not so long ago in the 90s people were being persecuted for developing and using cryptographic technology. Specifically, the author of PGP, Phillip Zimmerman, was prosecuted for developing the original PGP -- sparking considerable outrage

What you say is completely incorrect. Linux distributions (keyword: distributions) have often shipped in a default configuration which can result in damage from overheating. There's no need to accuse the OP of "messing with something he doe

PKI as implemented by SSL Certs is needlessly complicated, which is a big part of why no one has adopted it for end user authentication. Compare what I described above to the mess described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_inf

Yes. A great, practical and scalable example is found in ssh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell#Key_management I'll try to explain how it works in non-technical terms (so please don't nitpick as I'm glossing over details) User gen

It's possible to test this when your user re-authenticates, assuming you're not using a challenge-response authentication mechanism (as sadly most sites do not).

Yes, but if you compromise email then they become easily guessable password equivalents.

I try to phrase things in terms of sharing or helping instead of arguing. Not everything must be an argument! The less adversarial the phrasing, the easier it is to accept correction from a peer.

Ms. Meeker and I must be reading a different budget (or reading the same budget very differently). Most of the spending budget and budgetary issues fall squarely in the lap of military spending -- which has consistently been the biggest-tic

No on said he did. Nobody plans on running companies into the ground. It still occurs with unsurprising regularity. Lots of interesting books out there which talk about why.

There are many other mistakes. The author also says "Fifty years ago Medicare and Medicaid didn't even exist, and federal spending on other health-related services made up a tiny sliver of the whole" This is only true because 50 years ago v

No, the graph clearly does not include the supplementary spending. I ran the numbers for this a while back, and the supplementary extra-budget DoD spending in the Bush years raised the DoD expenses from 22% to nearly 40% in some cases. Mili

The author uses three examples to assert his 11 million number, but he doesn't explain why he believes the bay area should model these growth points. In the case of Detroit, the boom was driven by many cheap manufacturing jobs available t

Then that is a categorically untrue statement. Perhaps he is thinking of one vendor (or more likely one particular model supplied by one vendor) in particular? In any event, it is absolutely false that "all of the silicon out there" has fea

by nnnnnnnn 14y ago
It's disingenuous to refer to unshipped silicon. If it's not available in vendor hardware it's hardly a "software problem." You appear now to be saying "Chips exist, but vendors aren't building them into switches" which is a far cry from yo

Support as in "can process ipv6 traffic?" Or support as it "can process a volume of ipv6 traffic with performance and practical feature characteristics on par with its handling of ipv4 traffic?" If you mean the former then sure, but that's
