And people complain about the CirrusLogic and RealTek on-board audio buzzing because of bad grounding... Maybe the buzz isn't grounding at all...

Someone has a new hammer and every problem is looking like nail...

Mickey also belongs to the world, yet we'll never see it hit public domain. Not until Walt's defrosted.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I can't mark you +1 Informative like that post deserves

I honestly don't know of any decent AQL optimisers...

I know MS SQL Management Studio has SQL Profiler, Index Tuning Advisor, and Database Performance Tuning Advisor.
But there's nothing in Aqua Data Studio that works with PostgreSQL, which means co-workers and I must rely on good looks and mad skillz (I'm only passable on both)

Besides datasets not fitting in to GPGPU memory, and I/O bottlenecks, I'm still seeing plenty of badly written SQL

A current contract has plenty of SQL work (not for me though), and the bulk of their time is cleaning up data exceptions, badly written report queries, and moving oft-used or large-dataset queries to stored procedures. GPGPU's will hide some of the rot, but if the SQL was written better in the first place, we're able to use parallelism and better use existing commodity hardware in clients virtualised environments.

I'm not dissing the prospect of GPU acceleration, just the priority TFA gives to it.

I promised I would never do this but.... citation please.

I'm not willing to believe it unless you have a source that doesn't reference the same unattributed quote I found in three different news articles...

No. The backing companies promised not to use the patents this way, and then washed their hands when Rockstar said "well we didn't promise anything..."

They're a corporate hitman, giving the backers plausible deniability and no surface area to countersue (since they can't infringe anyone else's patents when they don't make stuff)

Seconded...

We've worked on minimal hardware routers and iptables can't keep up with pF on the same hardware.
pF also allows more flexibility, and can do funkier layer 2 than iptables.
The ALiX boards in the Yawarras (http://www.yawarra.com.au/) are small, flexible, and FreeBSD supported.
We don't use them so much anymore since we run more VM host-based firewalls, and we've moved on from hosting various physical machines requiring firewalling between them (since a possibly compromised machine's firewall can't be trusted...)

+1 - Since I have no points :(

Social Engineering isn't hacking... Fortune Tellers and Used Car Salesmen have been doing it for years before networked computers were created...

My point exactly.

I filter the routes I accept from upstream and downstream. I have gone blue with a provider about the fact they were accepting private network advertisements from customers. Needless to say, we're not with that provider anymore. I do monitor odd advertisements from networks we're not directly peered with. Any ISP not monitoring routes is either overworked or slack

*sigh*

Another day, another announcement of an old hack which any serious network admin would have filtered by now. The fact this is happening at ISP/carrier level is extremely disheartening.

Is Jones_supa really #4 from Ctrl-Alt-Del?

Was the sound from "Metal Machine Music"?

Dammit! No Funny mod points to give :(
