If you have dealt with an EMP at your primary datacenter, you are a more hardened sysadmin than us all.

I thought I was an audiophile. You have put me to shame.

What happens if we use this for videos (which are just sequences of generally overlapping images)?

If any progress could be made in this department, we could make video game maps by simply recording a factory with a video camera.

No longer. It is a full-blown theorem and it is a fact that the number of primes under x asymptotically approaches x/ln(x) as x approaches infinity (this is interesting as changing the ln() to a log() in any other base fails).

There is some term describing O(x/ln(x)), I'm sure. But I wouldn't call it any more linear than it is logarithmic.

Yes, I see it now...

Interesting how talking about being modded down gets you modded up. That being said, this comment will be modded down.

Apparently you get an achievement for posting in an April Fool's story.

So, here I am.

Then humans don't have free will. There is no human behavior that is independent of the past.

This is a definition seems unfit. In fact, according to this definition, nothing has free will, as everything is determined by its past.

That's why humans make terrible random number generators. All of our number choices are strongly correlated.

Wow, way off. Mod parent down.

Speakers are themselves fundamentally flawed. Headphones can send sound to the exact location needed while speakers are "ballparking" where the listener will be.

Space limitations are null, audio positioning is null, and annoying your neighbors is null.

Furthermore, good headphones have the capacity to send much less-distorted, higher-quality sound than speakers.

Good headphones will always produce better sound than good speakers. If you don't believe me, ask your local audiophile/audio professional. I guarantee you, if he takes himself seriously, he'll agree.

IANAL, but the way I understand it, monopolies in a specific market within the United States are OK as long as they don't try to leverage another market.

How is this different from Microsoft's monopoly? Microsoft tried to use Windows (where it had a virtual monopoly at the time) to make everyone use Internet Explorer. They were largely successful but they were also sued.

The way I see it, Apple is trying to use Shuffle, which has a virtual monopoly in the tiny screen-less talking music player department to leverage, to Apple's favor, the headphone market.

But it's alright because I'm not getting a shuffle anyways.

I'm sure it's pretty profitable, in some way, to infect web hosts and the like. A majority of web hosts run Linux. Therefore Linux is already a target. A pretty big one, if you ask me.

So please explain to me why they're going to target desktops instead of servers.

Yes, a dumb user is a dumb user, but you must agree: it's much harder to mess up riding a tricycle than a bicycle. They're both vulnerable to flipping over but it happens that tricycles have safety measures built-in to prevent many things from happening while riding.

And can't find one now?

Infinity divided by thirty is still infinity.

Yeah, as opposed to nose-coded. Good times.
