In college, the machines in the computer labs had no speakers, but I found out that by logging on the TTY you could make the PC speaker beep at an arbitrary frequency. You could only play one note at a time, though... except if you used several machines. So I wrote a daemon and a script that would take a MID file and dispatch the various voices to all machines in the room (the daemon used NTP to ensure that everyone started at the exact same time).

The sound quality was awful, but the spatial effect was pretty cool because the sound came from everywhere at the same time. I got cool results with Mario, Pokemon, Tetris, but also some of the Goldberg variations or the Art of Fugue... But this was December, so I dug out a few Christmas tune MIDs and set them to play at random intervals until Christmas. As it turns out, a song triggered during a class once: a lot of people thought the sound was coming from their machine and freaked out, and the teacher spent some time trying to figure out from which machine it came before he understood what was going on.

At some later time we found one computer with sound, so we set up a daemon to monitor logins on all the machines in the room and had a GLaDOS-like voice blurb out a personalized greeting to newcomers. Fun times :)
That would be a good counterpoint if I cast that observation out of nowhere, vindicating the GS III. In reality, however, we are specifically talking about anecdotes and personal opinion, hence anecdotes and personal opinion. The entire point being that it is all noise.

Adding HA to an environment does seem to make administration easier than in a non-HA environment. There are very few changes you can make that result in needing to to reboot the entire cluster of machines at once. Most of the time you can play with one machine at a time.

Some services, however, still have the same issues as standalone. For example, CIFS shares. Regardless of if you're offering high availability, you still generate disconnects when the original host goes down.

With HA you have to make sure you've upgraded your infrastructure not only at points A and B, but with the networking in between. It makes no sense to support failing over a datastore when a single port on your switch can fail and take it all down.
Great work guys :)

I've wanted to use things at the level of Duff's device on pre-release console hardware (SPUs and the Xenon both suck at branching, and the compiler is beyond abysmal to the point where my girlfriend can still make me wake up screaming by whispering "--target=spu-elf" in my ear while I'm asleep).

On the other hand portability is a non-issue and in that circumstance there's no such thing as source-level debugging (not that I would want to step through Duff's with a source-level debugger) so everything is usually just written in assembly. I'm also not convinced I'd trust the compiler to get parallelization right, especially since as another poster mentions Duff's gives you a really unusual CFG.
Android is giving me hope for the future of general purpose computing.

With the nexus 7 finally bringing a non-sucky open tablet to market, and Ouya proving that users and developers want open (Or at the very least that open products have a chance in the market.), I'm feeling more comfortable with a technology landscape full of tablets, smartphones and purpose specific devices like gaming consoles.
Isn't his argument contradicted by cheap natural gas? I would think energy is energy, why is the oil form of energy so important?

I do wonder why we're not switching from oil to natural gas a lot faster though.
I need a way to tell it that I want my calories to come from 60% carbs, 20% protein and 20% fat.

I also want it to include protein in every meal.

And as few simple carbs as possible. Fruit is fine-ish, but no processed sugar. Bread-like things should be limited to whole grain if at all possible.

How do I do that?
Right, in fact I think both inputs are valuable. Having a nice way to share this info within my social network sounds good. When I like a movie or a TV series I usually post about it on Facebook to share with my friends, but that quickly gets lost in the noise of the timeline, among memes and stuff.
One thing I never see considered in these types of rankings is the fact that in America, all the best athletes are tied up playing one of the four professional sports that make athletes a lot more money than the olympics ever will. For instance, Robert Griffen III, the new stud QB for the Redskins, was a world class hurdler in addition to being an all-star football player. Imagine how dominant the US would be in the Olympics if all its most athletically gifted professional athletes focused on an olympic event rather than their respective sports.

Moreover, it further points the blame at Senator Dodd (Current MPAA CEO and US Senator...parodied as 'Senator Rodd' in the video).

From the website promoting the video (http://www.political-prostitution.com/):

"Kim Dotcom has publicly accused Joe Biden of ordering the shutdown of his Megaupload website in coordination with Chris Dodd. As evidence, Dotcom cites the public White House visitor log which shows visits from Dodd and the CEOs of Warner Brothers, Paramount Pictures, Walt Disney and Universal Studios all on the same day in July 2011. Also visiting that day was Mike Ellis, former superintendent of the Hong Kong Police and currently an MPAA Asia division executive. The MPAA publicly denies that Ellis is a known extradition expert and has dismissed Dotcom's claims. - Source [http://betabeat.com/2012/07/mpaa-kim-dotcom-joe-biden-chris-...]

Oh, high school and the semi-malicious innocent things you do. If only the IT department was more competent and didn't leave everything open. Perhaps instead of playing Quake all day, some of us would have gotten into real hacking a lot earlier.

Then again, teaching the entire year how to use NET SEND to send direct messages to every computer on the network was fun. So simple, yet total chaos soon followed. Imagine hundreds of Windows popups with messages such as: "Hi i79, did you know that miss Lengstein is wearing a thong today?". Every single person behind a computer in the building had to click through all these messages individually when they booted up their machine.

We thought it was amusing, especially the invidivuals who could not figure out what the hell was going on. As was the moment when the horrible miss from the library shouted 'WHAT IS THIS, HELP! I'M BEING HACKED!!!'.
The resulting crackdown started out fairly scary at first but became outright hilarious when every single authority figure started their frowning speech with "I am sure you have been punished enough". (Never punished, parents did not even find out, IT department just told me 'whenever you figure someone else out, please do not tell the rest').

I took that advise to heart and told only a select few when I uploaded mugshots of every single person in the school to photobucket. Fairly sure no one every found out, even when we hung pictures of other kids with drawings on their faces around the school and got busted they did not even stop to think about where we got those pictures. To think this all played out in a top five high school makes me smile like I am up to no good again.

That's more or less exactly it. Ctrl+Alt+Del causes a switch from the interactive desktop (WinSta0\Default) to the Winlogon desktop, which no other process has access to. Windows code also contains a special rule for interrupting the Ctrl+Alt+Del combination to prevent other applications from hooking into it and overriding the default functionality.

Technically it is possible to get other processes to run in the Winlogon window, but that requires messing around with security tokens, among other barriers.

It was beautiful up until I tried to play songs. I'm on Windows 7 PC using Google Chrome latest version.

Gorgeous effects, fade animations, and interface is clean and beautiful but the playlist being CDs on the left side of the screen is a bad idea. I can't remove them, when I click on the artist it adds more of the same song to my playlist. Clicking on different cds (songs) in my playlist doesn't work either. I really got frustrated having to roll over all the cds(songs), the interface changing in the Now Playing panel. It was just so odd and awkward.

It's glitchy when using the next/previous arrows in the footer music player. I can't switch between music. The experience was perfect up until I started trying to actually listen to the music. I guess there's still more work to do.
Things 2.0 and Things Cloud Available
Compared to computer games today the PS3 is incapable. Point in case: Battlefield 3, where they have to limit the game to 24 players, where PC has 64 players. And it has been like that a long time now, with many games.

That's why I like Ouya, it focuses on another market, a market where consoles generally have done really great, arcade style games. Also, with the possibility to use it as a media center is a killer feature for many people.

What happened to LendInk? The owner responds.
Now that I find out that the main reason for using a 2 MP camera is because that's what the specifications were in 2004, I'm a lot more disappointed than if it was just about the speed of transfer between Mars and Earth.

2 MP cameras were in high-end phones in 2004, but you'd expect NASA to use something a little more advanced than what was available in phones in 2004. How much more would it have cost them to use a 5 MP one? $100 more if they chose one in 2004 and stuck with it, or $10 more if the camera was added just a year ago. So this makes me think that they just didn't think this would be such an important factor, compared to say making the robot work.

Also, in general it'd be much more efficient (though not as cinematically impressive) to just nudge the asteroid off course rather than blowing it to tiny pieces, particularly if you could get to it in time. A relatively small nudge would make it miss if you had enough time for the vector change to operate.

Nudging rather than blowing up would also have the advantage of not leaving you with a zillion pieces on unpredictable and uncontrollable courses.

>How much more would it have cost them to use a 5 MP one?

Well they'd need to design it, get it built and delivered in time for the whole SLEW of tests that something going into space has to pass. If it failed any one of those since it would have had to be redesigned (and all within the same size/weight as the original chip because other components would have been build around it) then repeat.

Or...you know, they could use a chip they are completely familiar with, that has been tested and used in similar applications and is completely fine for the mission.
Heh. The lesson I take: Well, then I'd better try this a bunch of times. Which means I need to make the tries cheap and quick enough.
The bottleneck to a large extend is the bandwith/costs of transmitting the extra data. NASA will create higher resolution images by stiching low res imagery for us wanting higher res.

No, he is refering to the fact that the original Duff's device contains:

*to = *from++

Note that there isn't a '++' on 'to'. Make people think that Duff's device is for making a fast memcpy (which you would get with to++ = from++), but in fact it was for copying data to a MMR.

Nowadays, most of the loop would be optimised away by the compiler, unless you marked to as volatile. Assuming you mark to as volatile, this kind of code is still used to write the MMR, although they are much less used than they used to be. The last time I wrote code anything like this was on the Nintendo Gameboy Advance. I don't know if the DS / 3DS still use similar code.
Which adds complexity. The CL model works as it's requirements are so simple, two humans that:

- Can communicate in the same language

- Can use a web browser

- Are able to make transactions of some kind (cash, check, Square, barter, CL doesn't care about the specifics)

Which makes their available market a rather large majority of the entire population of the Internet. Each extra restriction or requirement makes it less likely a given person will get involved.

Be very careful about "innovating" away simplicity.

Trouble with natural gas... people are almost as terrified of frac'ing, and shale gas as they are of the evil "tar sands". That said, the rest of the world is investing heavily in Canadian natural gas - it's one of the primary motivators behind the current national debate (in Canada) over pipelines out of Alberta.

Can a large cargo ship be run using only liquid natural gas? Can we power generators using just natural gas?

I'm very curious about the limits of natural gas as a power source.

I consider my to do list highly private information and will not consider using any syncing application that doesn't encrypt my data at rest.

Perhaps that makes me a unique snowflake, and perhaps a true Scotsman.

The convenience of ubiquitous sync is undeniable, but there's more personal data in my todo list than in my email spool. I use it for notes, ideas, trivial record keeping, etc.

It's private, and there are a dozen little companies who offer to sync my stuff. I don't trust any of them. I don't trust Google or Apple with that data either, but I wish someone would do it right so I could.

Is this not a concern for others?

I'm of the opinion that most certifications that aren't lab based aren't worth it. The only time it may be worth your time is for consulting or for an HR screen pass.

My current employer doesn't even like paying for certifications. They'll put you through all of the required training up until the point where you could get your cert (i.e. they care about the knowledge), but they won't pay for the actual certification unless you have a pretty good reason for doing so.
Hard (both in difficulty and must-have) requirement: ability to exclude foods high in Vitamin K.

A lot of us are on blood thinners (anti-coagulants, anti-clotting, Coumadin/warfarin). Vitamin K is the essence of blood clotting (coagulant, thickener); high quantity or wide variation can be dangerous (first symptom: stroke). Creating an interesting diet consistently very low in Vitamin K is important. Ability to specify "Vitamin K between X and Y micrograms/day" would be very helpful.
