Amazing how that "3.11" remains in everyone's memory. Personally, not so good memories in fact...
I'll probably prefer the coming Linux 3.14 ...

Had a look inside the book and it seems it explains well the various complex concepts. While it is pretty expensive at $127, I may get one. Next time I write a book, I'll have to make an article in /. too!

Many people climb Mt Fuji (3,800m) during the warm season. For those who think the top of the mountain is a deserted place: on the top of Mr Fuji you find vending machines and restaurants... so I'm just surprised 4G was not available until now..

Maybe that'll encourage other CEO/CFO... to hire competent developers at the right (accurate/higher) salary. Due to the apparent easiness of the www languages (html,css,js,php) many people coming from various horizons proclaim themselves "developer", then offering their "talent" at a lower price.

As often, spectacularly disappointed by Curiosity.

5000 times more capacity / bandwidth would be more correct. Unless they intend an FTL technology.

So it seems that the Commission lawyers were not competent enough to elaborate a "proper reasoning". If the case happens in another country (or if there is a possible further appeal in Ireland), lawyers have now a good idea at what they have to slog away.

*British* imperialism... Would have it been French, at least the US would have had decent bread and cheese.

> What concerns me the most is just how aggressively the entire world seems to be against him

Nope. The world is not against him. The world is against the possible [economic] retaliation from the US. That's kind of funny: during the cold war, a time people were worrying about possible armed conflicts, Snowden would have been granted asylum from many countries, including USSR. Nowadays, it seems the economic threat has more impact than nukes.

> Let's talk about the expectation of being an expert at optimising different servers like Apache, Tomcat and JBoss

No expert without nginx.

Marissa Mayer as a counter example..

The real question is: how much her prettiness helped her to win the Google science fair? The contest works both ways: a person who wins has his/her image associated to Google. Would Google choose a ugly person?

And how do you search (accurately)?

Funny drawing. But it seems the problem here is the interpretation of the Voyager's data. Not the probes that still do a magnificent job. I've always been fascinated how the Voyagers did/do a great job since 1977. Starting by providing really amazing pictures of our "external planets", following a smart path (that could have been even more awesome if budget wouldn't have been reduced) now they're still able to work and communicate successfully with Earth, from a 120+ AU distance, thanks to a 1977 technology.

Warning systems work well for areas far away from the epicenter. The system works based on the principle that seismic waves are far slower than light - ie the information gathered at the epicenter is broadcasted via a network (Internet) to surrounding areas. Destructive seismic waves speed is around 0.5~3 miles per second. The power of the waves decreases with distance. So if the epicenter is right under your feet - the most destructive place it can be - you have zero second notice...
