In 1994, we used to joke that XFS was a write-only filesystem. The early version was less than stellar. SGI pretty quickly solved the worst issues. It sure was nice not having to wait for 6 hours for a Challenge XL to fsck.

Currently, there is only one thing the Chinese supercomputers are good at. Running Linpack. Give it time, and the Chinese will build up the library and experience to fully take advantage of the resource. In the mean time, we're not goi

Anywhere around the accelerator you are going to have massive cyclotron radiation ( ie. the photons emitted when you coerce of near light speed proton out of a straight line). In addition, at the detectors themselves, you have all sorts of

Edward wasn't crazy, he was just very focused. As for Putin, weren't we doing much the same under GW when we decided we were going to ignore the ABM treaty? BTW, the 10GT design was to be used for asteroid defence. Edward should h

It is only noticeable on very windy days. Not terrifying at all, but a little uncomfortable at times. On a really bad day, you can end up feeling a bit sea sick.

I wonder how the higher floors would be in a building like that? I'm on the 97th of the Sears Tower, and there are days when it is rather uncomfortable as the building sways. Are the newer buildings, with mass dampers, immune to this?

Other monoclonal antibody therapies have had similar side effects. There is the possibility that this is a direct reaction to the removal of the plaques. Also, I wouldn't get my hopes up until there is a lot more data. See what happene

Be thankful for the inefficiencies of large organizations. Otherwise, we would all be working for MegaCo by now.

Don't get your hopes up. There has been discussion of variants of this setup for almost 40 years now. None has made it to market, as far as I am aware.

One size does not fit all. LKML has evolved to what it is. If everybody played nice nice, we'd be discussing the merits of the new 1.20 kernel about now. It is not a warm inviting place for the uninitiated. That being said, managing yo

The AMC Pacer was supposed to have the wankel, too. At the last minute, GM called it off, and AMC had to panic to put a conventional engine in. The DOT nixed the plexiglass windows, too. It would have been interesting to see what the reacti
