Or you could have zero jobs. It's not Tesla's responsibility to provide you with a livelihood.

Slashdot hadnt yet posted anything about Elon Musk today. My groupthink-o-meter was starting to dip back down below 'fellate'.

+1, Footfall reference

Build it over some brown country, light the fuse, and we're off to the stars.

And those countries instantly became bastions of freedom? Hint: no they didn't. People think Internet = magical standard of living raiser, and it isn't. It's just another tool to control the population.

a) Your UDP buffers probably suck. OOB RedHat gives you 128K, and each packet takes up 2304 bytes of buffer space. Try 100MB, or whatever YOUR_RATE/2304 works out to.
b) Pull off the queue and buffer in RAM as fast as you can
c) Have a second thread read from RAM
d) Don't invoke scripts to process each packet, you're spinning all your time in process creation. In fact, don't use interpreted scripts at all.

Do you ever search for stuff?

When does it, versus the notion of "protecting the children" ? If you think that the government and associated puppet regulators actually have anyone's good as their goal, think again.

I think it's more likely that more people are becoming obese because of exactly one factor: age. They are living artificially prolonged lifetimes due to access to adequate food and to medicine. It's easier to get fat when you are 50 than when you are 30 because of the natural changes in your metabolism.

:-)

You make it sound like starving people are getting fat too.

If they are becoming obese, the particular individual has a surplus of caloric intake, if only for this year or month. This is not to say that they have proper nutrition. So I am not at all clear that the fact that there is obesity in the third world is confounding evidence.

With the small difference that in the Third Reich those who failed badly enough at the politics ended up with a bullet in their brain.

It sounds a lot more like career politics in most corporations. Not all, certainly, but most.

If the bad guys are installing system-level software, or -- even worse -- plugging hardware into your box, you're sunk. There's basically no defense against that. Two-factor auth helps, but only for sites that support it, and even then a real-time attack can get in.

So this only works if you have /usr/bin/host installed?

And for those of you who DO auto-update blindly and destroy your app or your server when a bad version comes out, well, at least you can smugly assert that you were "secure".

For most of the existence of mankind and indeed all of mankind's progenitors, having too much food was a rare problem and being hungry all of the time was a fact of life. We are not necessarily well-evolved to handle it. So, no surprise that we eat to repletion and are still hungry. You don't really have any reason to look at it as an illness caused by anything other than too much food.

If they spent all that money and time making a map which showed that there was LESS likelihood of earthquakes, people would scream boondogle. Now, because of douchebag grant-suckers, innocent people will suddenly have their insurance rates raised.
