Dumbest post on Slashdot this month. Kudos. Better stick a sandy bridge in your ass so your mom knows where you are.

Right...

why don't you teach your grandma how to understand it? Do you even know what you're saying?

Anti-terrorist organizations can use the same live technology to show terrorirsts getting captured / killed.

Twitter should be able to better control removal of such content, idk if that encroaches on the 1st amendment though.

I dunno if you can be a "rock star" without a business sense, I think you're more thinking of the bookies group. Those are typically a PITA to work with and are best avoided unless absolutely necessary. I was glad to see ours go.

Yes: Sheeple have no business designing architecture, if only for that reason.

why would your smart TV have unfiltered access to the internet?

IT comes down to are you the experiment, or the experimenter, in the case of these applicants, they're the former.

A couple of observations:

1. we have a GW highschool in my state... guess who's the dominate ethnicity... trend? maybe
2. I don't think reinforcing what blacks have done is true equality, true equality isn't focusing on either, saying how great blacks are is black racism imho. Same problem with feminism, people just don't get it, or maybe its just me.

I for one don't have a solution to it though, racism more deeply rooted in people black, brown, and white than we want to acknowledge I think.

Prison and jail ethnic population statistics answer that question unceremoniously. You have a huge advantage and the benefit of the doubt in the legal system just by being white. I'll also mention for like billionth time: ZIMMERMAN ISNT OR WILL BE WHITE... fuck cnn.

1. Are any of the morons posting actual Yahoo users? (I know the answer to this one... didn't think so)

2. I personally liked how google did with the whole upgrade to our new interface when you're ready and we'll bug you periodically to do so approach. Radical UIX changes have almost never been received in a positive light... ever. Doesn't mean they're bad changes, it's just proven that average users can't deal with rapid change of a UIX like developers can. But again, the customer is the average user, so shame on Yahoo for not recognizing this overwhelming trend.

A couple of points for you:

Adding VMs to the development cycle is just adding an unnecessary level of complexity. Need a new environment? Use an existing web server to set up a new site, they're designed for this and it's the proper layer to solve that at.

Also, scalable apps work via shared services, this is on top of the VM layer, so again we just don't care.

There are advantages to rapidly deploying VMs... and thus something like VMWare has templated VMs to make the process 15 minutes, my main point is that none of those advantages have anything to do with the development cycle whatsoever... remember the only significant portion of paypal's IT infrastructure is their website through which they do 100% of their business, so when we talk about increasing efficiency and reaction time for paypal, things like business intelligence and improving the development cycle come to mind... VM automation is well outside of that and won't help them add features faster to their site.

BGP protocol takes care of this by design by finding the shortest routes for data to travel. Encryption is still a good idea for all the other reasons BGP doesn't address, but India is on the right track here in regards to what they're trying to accomplish.

Now for the real question...

How does virtual machine automation help paypal's release cycle???

That part doesn't make sense to me. It has the potential to save them money and better manage and trend their VM environment, but... faster reaction times? What they can't clone a VM in a timely manner? It certainly won't write code for them, oh well, IT buzzwords ftw.

Sure, let's see your math... oh wait that's the unknown here isn't it. We know something's changing, but we have no idea how fast or by how much, or any of the long term effects, so you can't put real numbers on it. Saying blah, this is going to cost us $5 tril in 30 years makes somebody sound like a futurist (still waiting on my floating car) as there are no figures either way.

Also, psychologically speaking, people are perfectly capable of setting long term goals, just the smart ones like to justify them too.

Yes, exercise reduces stress, this is a proven fact. Kids aren't allowed as much outside today, or want to for that matter due to the internet, and parents fearing pedos. Somewhere I'm sure we can blame the media for this situation and slashdot.
