The biggest problem with the NSA proposal was that it was dishonest. Industry has been asking them for threat alerts based on tier 1 network surveillance for some time, but the NSA (dba Cyber Command) has continually questioned whether they

Things like antibiotics, ssris, antivirals and other mainstream drugs that aren't abused are often available relatively inexpensively from online pharmacies based out of India due to their price controls and flexible intellectual property l

I'm fairly sure the public's complaint with gnome 3 is that it has a ux team - which has resulted in ux changes the public hasn't necessarily appreciated. From what I've seen gnome has far more ux changes designed and documented than implem

I don't believe anything is priced down due to this news. If I'm not mistaken the free shipping threshold was actually raised to $100 in the last week or two. I think that inventory liquidation is typically done by a 3rd party in situations

You might be interested in system management mode (SMM) - SMM often gets entered by various ACPI and other platform functions, some of which can be triggered pretty easily from user space. To protect SMM the caches get trashed on each trans

Hmm, you're right of course. Somewhere our terms got crossed, I wouldn't call (total requests/servers) concurrency, I'd call that request density.

by trotsky 14y ago
no, at x level of concurrency most set ups wont spend 16 seconds or more on 10% of their requests.

Those charts of "simulated" load balancing strategies don't look at all reasonable at first glance. You certainly don't see such spiky patterns with normal web loads. I think you'd have to have some crazy amount of std. dev in completion ti

At least in the US you're not responsible for collecting sales tax for a location you don't do business in, and i'm pretty sure there are minimum thresholds or exceptions to prevent people from having to collect sales tax on yard sales or f

1756 paid games in the windows store as of today, ouch. granted, none of them seem to be AAA titles, but I'd assume they hear footsteps. I assume this is probably a driving factor behind project green light? While a heavily curated store ma

Not extrapolated from a fully saturated link, no. But I didn't mean to imply that was usage billing. I was thinking of fdc in amsterdam in the eu on a 10gb unmetered no bw sla, but I also think they offer a similar (slightly higher) deal in

I find it exceedingly hard to fill my 85mbit connection without using some kind of synthetic bandwidth test. Obviously it's easy to do if you're aggregating enough people's usage (like at an office) but for a single user it's tough. Single

Very interesting article, thanks! At 100TB/mo., pure file delivery, you'd need to be an Enterprise customer. Let me know if this works within your budget. An interesting proposition - If we take it at face value, $3000 for 100TB works out

yes, amounts and names/handles are listed by google and mozilla - not sure about facebook. To be clear - you think it's fine to cite the announcement of an undisclosed amount of money being paid to an undisclosed list of people as proof of

It appears you've made some sort of resolution to publish and promote a blog entry per day in 2013. 40 entries in 41 days this year vs. 46 in all of 2012. You should reconsider - whatever your reasons were, I doubt they included a desire to

not the best choice of words i agree. They do at times bear some similarities with what I might call "freedom fighters" - but that is also usually true of people that the US labels terrorists.

A little known aspect of the tough as nails deal that apple cut with at&t for a lengthy US exclusive deal was that that apple got a not insubstantial piece of every iphone subscriber's service fee from at&t. Not far below $10/mo/sub
