To be honest, I'm not actually sure what QOS even has to do with the initial post in this thread; wouldn't a dedicated private ethernet network between the ECC machines and the EBS machines (assuming it's possible within Amazon's network st

by tsuraan 17y ago
QOS and net neutrality are completely unrelated. What net neutrality is trying to prevent isn't prioritization by service, it's prioritization by server. Comcast wants to be able to hold Google's (or ycombinator's, or twitter's) traffic h

I followed the directions at http://feature-enable.blogspot.com/ , and it worked out perfectly. You basically put a modified copy of grub in a certain directory structure on a USB key and reboot your laptop. The laptop's EFI firmware (n

Ok, that's really cool. I'll give that a try next time somebody sends me a youtube link. Thanks!

Does anybody have any idea why sites like this one and youtube don't make the video stream available as a .avi, .mpeg, or something else that's actually usable? It seems really strange to wrap something as simple as video in a closed wrapp

I use a sony z-series (z590) laptop. It's a 13.3" display, 1600x900 resolution, core2 duo@2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM, and it gets 7.5+ hours of battery life (with wifi enabled; ~9 without). If your eyes don't like tiny fonts it's not for you, and I

Besides the difficulty involved in driving a train into a building, I'm guessing it's a lot easier to destroy a train from the outside. There's no point screening passengers when anybody who wants to can throw rocks at trains, put logs acr

Stunning. I had always thought scribd was the most annoying thing ever, but they revamped their UI and completely proved me wrong. Now, to actually get to the pdf (I don't run flash), I have to go to "classic view", click the download as

When I was interviewing with the DB2 team for IBM, they mentioned that the high-end IBM database servers implement special instructions (CPU-level) for accelerating certain DB operations. I don't know any more details than that, but I'd gu

Keep in mind, though, that if your DoWork function has some large amount of data in it (like, it's looking up each element of the Data list in a large orddict), every process created by pmap will get a _copy_ of that large orddict. Erlang'

67TB of storage, with 4GB of cache. I'd really love to see some performance numbers versus the way-too-expensive competition. If the systems are being used as tape drive replacements, I could see this working well, but as an actual NAS-li

"The argument I responded to [...] is the idea that because copyvio is rampant, the law must be wrong" No, it has nothing to do with often violated laws being wrong. It has to do with broken social contracts. As I said in my original post

Laws that breed contempt for themselves won't be followed. If we had a respectable copyright regime, content producers would have a leg to stand on. There will always be scofflaws in any society; the goal is to minimize that behaviour, no

by tsuraan 17y ago
The biggest issue with copyright today is that the law itself is contemptible, so people do not respect it. Our constitution (for those in the US) allows the government to create a time-limited copyright law, for the purpose of promoting t

A bit off-topic, but does anybody know how that site is displaying its video? I don't have flash or moonlight installed, so it was a bit of a shock to hear my computer actually playing a video feed. I browsed their HTML source, but I didn

Ok, cool. It does work under konqueror 4.x, in case you were curious :) Also, should the modules in the list be ordered? They appear not to be, or at least they don't seem to be in any order I can determine.

Would making it googleable also result in making it viewable as static pages? Under konqueror (3.x), I just get a javadoc looking thing with "Loading..." on the left pane and "welcome to erldocs.com" on the right. I would never ask anybod

Fun paper, but I don't think destroyed zombies ever resurrect. The fatal decapitation or brain destruction shouldn't put the zombies into the R set, but should just remove the zombies from the population altogether. I'll have to see if oc

Have you sent this to the erlang list? I just checked for both yrashk and alterline, and I'm not getting any threads for those queries. The OTP team is generally really good about merging bugfixes, from what I've seen on the list.

Do you have any refs for the TI83 being mandatory in US high schools? A quick google search puts your post at the top and nothing too relevant anywhere else. I graduated from a public HS less than ten years ago, and I used the far superio

I think you're right about X versus Aero being apples to oranges, but that's sort of the problem. In windows, it looks like the state of an application's GUI is separate from the state of the rendering system. In X, the two things are in

by tsuraan 17y ago
X does window forwarding, and I love it, but it doesn't do remote session resuming. For that, you have to fall to things like VNC, which really isn't much more than streaming video. I'm fairly certain that RDP doesn't do that. Its perfor

I think he understands that X will crash sometimes (he admits that Aero does), but what he wants is to not lose his running apps. I don't think that's unreasonable or whiny. Separating out a state representation server that's stable from

There's also slayradio.org, which is mostly C64 remixes. It's mostly pretty fun stuff to listen to, although some of the songs get way too much playtime.

Under Gate's control, Microsoft destroyed Netscape as well as BeOS. Netscape was, in the mid 1990's, attempting to create the "browser OS" that we're finally beginning to see today. Had they not been driven out of business, we would quite

Not sure how many Sony Vaio owners there are around here, but I've been pretty pissed about the disabled VT instructions since I bought mine. Hopefully this will let any other Vaio owners fix their laptops as well.
