How does your suggested setup using memcache get around the problem of storing/fetching objects greater than 1MB? That is, without implementing custom interfaces for handling multiple chunks.

From the memcache wiki page:
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/WhyNotMemcached

"Memcached is terrific! But not for every situation...

You have objects larger than 1MB.
Memcached is not for large media and streaming huge blobs.
"

"Wolf and Whittlinger trained a bunch of ants to walk across a patch of desert to some food. When the ants began eating, the scientists trapped them and divided them into three groups. They left the first group alone. With the second group, they used superglue to attach pre-cut pig bristles to each of their six legs, essentially putting them on stilts. The third group had their legs cut off just below the "knees," making each of their six legs shorter.

After the meal and the makeover, the ants were released and all of them headed home to the nest while the scientists watched to see what would happen.

The regular ants walked right to the nest and went inside. The ants on stilts walked right past the nest, stopped and looked around for their home.
The ants on stumps fell short of the nest, stopped and seemed to be searching for their home.

It turns out that all the ants had walked the same number of steps"

A timing mechanism would not exhibit this property.

Must have lights... must! Otherwise...

"It is pitch dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue."

"Since 1580, when records began, the total number of attacks on humans by sharks has been logged at about 2,200 only. This is equivalent to just 5% of the number of Americans injured by toilets in the year 1996." --Stephen Fry on QI

Validate the number yourself by looking though the records of the The International Shark Attack File (ISAF). The ISAF is a global database of shark attacks.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Shark_Attack_File]

Linus Torvalds decided to support Windows 7

October 23 Linux Foundation Microsoft Operating systems Soft
Yesterday, 22 October, around the world started selling the new operating system Windows 7. Also on this day in Japan, held an event called Japan Linux Symposium. Whether by coincidence, or because of someone's clever idea, but just in front of the building, which brought together developers Linux, Microsoft has established a great promotional booth with Windows 7. It is clear that gathered at the Japan Linux Symposium guys could not get over it, so during the break they took Linus Torvalds (Linus Torvalds) and went to a promotional booth to learn a new operating system, Microsoft.

(Photo)

Photo made on that day will surely go down in history, and more than once will be used to illustrate the various events related to Windows and Linux. The photo shows Linus thumb up Windows 7, which is a characteristic gesture of approval and support. This subtle humor, all participants appreciated the Japan Linux Symposium, the only one who did so and did not understand, it sells at the stand. According to the eyewitnesses, he actively participated in the photoshoot with Linus, but very much surprised when he went and not buying a box of Windows 7.

But Mark's observation was right for bug 332945!

For the benefit of those not familiar with this... the old behaviour of displaying updates was to display an icon next to the clock. The new behaviour is:

Friends' Ubuntu installations were rarely updated due to the limited attention received by the little icon. With the new [minimised] update window, the machines updated weekly.

It all comes down to visibility.

Cheers.

Think about it a bit more, this proposed tax makes no sense whatsoever. Let's revisit your formula after one algebraic operation ...

Tax = 1 / per gallon

Low efficiency vehicles are already paying more at the gas-station and higher-efficiency vehicles get breaks every fill up. So, what exactly is the point of this new tax?

According to the Federation Internationale D'espace, space begins at 62 miles, about 100 kilometers. Often referred to as the 62 mile club.

Granted, Nicol Williamson never directed a movie, but his abridged version of The Hobbit on vinyl, far surpasses the original book. He essentially condensed the story down from 10 hours to 2 hours, cutting out a lot of the narration and the 'he saids', which greatly reduce the monotony to the listener. But the man's real skill is in the voices and accents and inflections he employs to bring all the characters to life. And he stays faithful to the subject, which was essential, as the LP was crafted with the blessing of Professor Tolkien himself.

I have a tip that the movie will follow a script almost entirely based off the reading and accents et more, as created for Nicol Williamson's Hobbit and that this was the bone of contention in the lawsuit. All speculation of course...

Cheers.

At the risk of being modded down for plugging non-Apple products...

Last year I researched audio players with an FM radio and high battery life. The winner was a rather surprising entry from Korea. I ordered Cowon's iAudio U5 for $64 off Amazon (price moves around a bit). No video though and no camera, but given the form factor of the nano, the video screen gives very little satisfaction.

Device plays back Mp3, Wma, and a choice of Ogg and Flac or WM10DRM.

The FM Radio picks up all the local stations. And if your low-power College or Indie station is not detected automatically, open the text file containing the station list and add it in there. The device is detected as external memory by Linux distributions--no fancy software required and it can double up as a small memory stick.

And this is just one of excellent products NOT sold by Apple.

Cheers.

You're missing a little detail in that statement... The IAF pilots were flying the Sukhoi MKI. Google it.
