Heres an article from 2009 which talks about similar things happening in Dubai.
Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Just configuring openssl is not enough. Theres at least THREE different SSL libraries in common use on linux and the chances are you have applications using all of them.
The SSL implementation is NOT part of the kernel.
uhhh.. it's actually very hard to find a modern motherboard which still has an LPT port..
No it isn't. I just looked at LGA1150 boards on newegg, sorted by price and found serveral with paralell ports on the first page.
It should be SOP to image off what is on a machine, format  it and reload from media
It doesn't help that at various times MS and their OEMS have made this a PITA with many machines not shipping with "clean" windows media, some keys only working with some media, keys printed on the machine that required a phonecall to activate and so-on. At one point they were even threatening companies who used their vlk media/keys to reimage machines running under OEM licenses though they later backed down on that and introduced "reimage rights".
A comparision of a first generation desktop i3 (which is slightly newer than a first generation i7) from january 2010 to a current generation desktop i3 from may 2014 (there was a slight speed bump released in july but anandtech don't have that one in their list) can be seen at http://www.anandtech.com/bench... . We see that performance has less than doubled in over four years
We see a similar comparison when we compare a first generation desktop i5 from september 2009 to a current one from may 2014 http://www.anandtech.com/bench...
I'm not sure i'd consider it insane for a high end desktop part to have double the performance of a contemporary desktop part. I think it's more that we just aren't making the massive jumps in performance anymore that came from the move from 1->2->4 cores as the typical core count in the mid-mainstream or that came from retiring the crappy pentium 4 architecture.
Even within one generation the good/better/best breaks down once you start looking across product categories, an "ultra mobile" i7 can be considerablly less capable than a "mobile" i3.
Like most stuff marketers come up with it's pretty clearly designed to mislead customers into thinking they can have both an ultra slim lightweight machine and top-tier performance.
Also there isn't enough gallium in the world. Literally. Any future solar or computing tech based on gallium is dead on arrival because of this fact.
Please provide a source for your claim.
linux seems to average a release about every 2 months. Which would mean a series every 40 months. To fill up series 4 through 19 inclusive would take about 16*40=640 months = ~ 53 years. According to google linus is currently 45 so that would make him 98.
I would expect him to be at the very least retired and quite possiblly dead by then.
Thanks for the link.
So as usual
Can anyone explain why this is needed? why are more connections/a different type of docking port needed to support crewed pods than cargo pods? why can't they use the same docking ports the shuttle used?
no one ever lost money faithfully following that advice
Becuase faithfully following it is not possible.
You don't know what will go up in price, you can only make more or less educated guesses. If those guesses are right you make money, if your guesses are wrong you lose money.
You took a rather roundabout route to a somewhat inaccurate value of what 40dB meant.
The definition is that +10dB is 10 times the power. So +40dB is by definition 10000 times the power. 3dB is only approximately a doubling.
But that doesn't explain the figure you gave. A "third of a doubling" would mean multiplying by the cube root of 2 which would give an answer of about 10321, still somewhat off from the correct answer but substantially closer than the figure you gave.
clock jitter of a picosecond or so (a full cycle at 1GHz)
Umm no a full cycle at 1GHz is a nanosecond not a picosecond.
yeah, i've been greatful for maplin getting me out of a bind several times, but the high prices and crap selection mean that the vast majority of my component purchasing (both personal and work) happens online.
