"This "shell game" fiction happens to be the truth of the matter and historically has always been held up by the courts."

Wrong, and the state of California has quite often said "Uh, no, you've improperly classified your employees as independent contractors" using a set of criteria, all of which not necessarily needs to be met, for the standard of 'employee' versus 'contractor' to be determined.

Papa John's tried your same logic - that their customer hired the driver to deliver the pizza, not the employee (hence delivery charges.)

That failed miserably.

I guess you fail to understand that, and thus your intelliectual dishonesty shows.

You probably generate and transmit more procedural data versus a video stream, sorry to break it to you. You also introduce lag, which many of us don't like (and this would suck balls for those using sign language to communicate via video chat.)

"All vehicles must be stock. What bull."

As someone that lives in CA with a modified 750 Mercer (1950s Coventry Climax engine in it) I'm gonna say you're the one full of shit, child.

You just got pulled over because your shitty ass mods were INCORRECTLY INSTALLED. Like your fucking illegal shit-quality PINK HIDs with an excess amount of blue that hurts people's fucking eyes.

4 Cylinder at 900 horsepower? Man you're so full of shit even the noob tuners know better.

BTW We've got car shows with street exhibitions every other weekend. Tons of modified vehicles, all street legal.

Go try your lying bullshit on a FOX News forum, instead, fag.

I suspect that we could persuade those caches to flush to RAM, simply by exhausting the number of possible lines for that address - if the cache is set-associative. Of course modern processors have multiple levels of cache, so that makes it harder.

They're running a bridge - they effectively fucked their bandwidth off the jump by not using a proper purpose-specific repeater.

"for hd video, wifi is NO SUBSTITUTE for wired enet.

try an mkv file; oftentimes it takes 2 or even 3 minutes before vlc (on win7 ultimate) begins to play, and that is with the very latest media bridge of ac to ac wireless (2 asus routers). this is as good as wireless gets for consumers and yet I have a several minute wait time."

That's your problem - the second you went into bridge mode you effectively HALVED your available bandwidth between routers.

It's like nobody learned the lesson that DD-WRT taught people years and years ago - wireless bridges SUCK and are no replacement for a proper signal repeater.

I have zero problems streaming 1080p video over my wireless network - why? Because I'm smart enough to not halve my bandwidth with an asinine network configuration, and I'm using one of the crappiest Belkin N-speed routers (with absolutely non-working port forwarding/DMZ on top of that!) I click a video from my media server, it's streaming pretty much immediately.

Hi AC,

This is sort of self-contradictory, so I don't really need to respond to it directly. I just want to point one thing out. I can't afford to work for any company as less than a C-level employee. It would be a salary cut from my current business.

Not to mention that I'd not like it.

An AC talking about balls. Pathetic.

Right. I didn't even bother responding to the taunts.

Coward really means coward. I am sorry for the folks who are afraid that their employer will take a dislike of what they post, but for them we have handles.

I can't say I'm happy about what's happened to Debian. Having Ubuntu as a commercial derivative really has been the kiss of death for it, not that there were not other problems. It strikes me that the kernel team has done better for its lack of a constitution and elections, and Linus' ability to tell someone to screw off. I even got to tell him to screw off when he was dumping on 'Tridge over Bitkeeper. Somehow, that stuff works.

IMO, don't create a happy inclusive project team full of respect for each other. Hand-pick the geniuses and let them fight. You get better code in the end.

This actually has something to do with why so many people hate Systemd. It turns out that Systemd is professional-quality work done by competent salaried engineers. Our problem with it is that we're used to beautiful code made by geniuses. Going all of the way back to DMR.

It really does look like Jomo did post this article, and it refers to another article of his.

What isn't to like about Ubuntu is that it's a commercial project with a significant unpaid staff. Once in a while I make a point of telling the unpaid staff that there really are better ways that they could be helping Free Software.

It's just that I object folks who would be good community contributors being lured into being unpaid employees instead.

Say how do feel about idiots working for corporations contractually enmeshed with the US military-industrial-surveillance complex. Why no spittle-laced hate for them?

The GNU Radio project was funded in part by a United States intelligence agency. They paid good money and the result is under GPL. What's not to like?

Keep all of the idiots that want to work for a millionare for nothing. Fire the others.

Anyone with sense has by now joined a non-profit project.

Compare-and-exchange and mfence would be doing cache flush all of the way to RAM and global cache line invalidation, wouldn't they? So, they can potentially be used to hammer too.

Multi-threaded programs really do need those cache flushes to implement their interprocessor communications, don't they? It seems to me that they would be the ones most likely to hit this problem.

It has yet to be established whether hammer techniques can result in a correct data+ECC pattern. If so, it should be possible to permute the memory in a way that defeats this, either on the memory module or the memory controller.

That would make a good research paper for someone.
