ALL companies suck at writing software. Our tools are in the dark ages still. There is nothing that combines the wisdom of the past and applies it to the problems of today.

Well the supplier and the manufacturer are the same for Micron. They wouldn't screw themselves over. That's illogical.

SSDs are complicated beasts. We don't use them on anything other than disposable workstations. Every problem with SSDs is down to software rather then hardware. Your M4s I wouldn't touch. There's nothing wrong with the hardwa

And this is why I always buy Crucial. Cruial and Micron are the same company and micron actually make the chips rather than just assemble them. They have control over the entire process end to end and no motivation to pick up chips anywhere

That's kind of crazy. The thing that gets me with all these things is the energy density in your pocket. 3Ah is a lot of energy. When a LiPoly goes off, it goes off in style. Even the 2Ah one in my Moto G is scary. And in this 3Ah behe

Yes spot on. When I was a teenager I used to race RC cars. The things had pretty hefty NiCd an NiMh cells. Occasionally one would vent and catch fire in someone's car or more usually attached to a fast charger. Flames, smoke, nasty che

My father's 2010 MBP did this a couple of weeks ago. He opened it to stick an SSD in it and saw that the thing had bulged inside the chassis. Might have been like it for a year.

I want a hefty FPGA attached to the CPU bus and switch backplane. That will take a lot more power than the ARM core.

I'm sitting in an office with 120x 8.1 systems at the moment so...

by pling 12y ago
You could but I want standard storage per node (PCI-E FLASH), redundant PSUs and the TDP of a hefty FPGA going flat out is a lot larger than that of the ARM core.

How to debunk that comment: OpenSSL, GNUTLS, Secure Transport Done!

Because it's bollocks? To be honest I'm more worried that the crypto service providers as supplied aren't available in their shared source license.

Well I've been using NTFS exclusively since 1996 (NT4) and accumulated 870Gb of data. I've never had a single byte of corruption. Not one, not ever. The data is checksummed about once a month. 26 is a very high number for a determ

In that case that would be complaining about windows 9. There are no mmainstream distributions shipping systemd yet.

I want option 3. A 4U rack with 32 completely isolated embedded stand alone quad core ARM or PPC systems, a network switch and an FPGA on each connected to the switch fabric. Then we can start doing some interesting stuff past finding new w

As someone who does a bit of embedded stuff here and there (professionally), this. I cannot fathom why anyone would even poke this with a stick other than to appease the maker crowd who to be honest scare the shit out of me. And the price.

a) Debian stable, Ubuntu, rhel6 don't have systemd. So no our servers don't. b) it can't assume heuristics like that if the vendor changes so no it can't. This was based on a complete data transplant.

I disagree. If you take the disks out of a Dell and stuff them in an HP machine with the same chipset, Linux gives you no guarantee the Ethernet ports will be the same order on startup. It's just different and you see the differences a

If you sysprep generalize the machine before you swap the board it'll work afterwards. It's like moaning that your brain transplant resulted in you not being able to move your arms or something similar.

No they don't. That's the nursing unions and the press talking. It's total bollocks. The decision makers and the senior staff have considerably smaller shifts. With respect to the surgical and anaesthesiologist staffing, most

The NHS currently runs on avoiding blame which is the problem. When someone is made accountable and the first thing they do is establish a process to avoid blame then you need to ask the question: do these people have my best interests at h

The problem here is that we have a safeguard system which is a strictly defined set of processes and experience passed on from senior staff under the guise of "airway management", "infection control" etc. When these proc

In this case all the issues were avoidable if they had followed procedure which they didn't. I have evidence of this. When I did the first poat surgery BP obs run (6 hours later - nurses had skipped her in post op, doctors not seen her

Absolute hero. The NHS tried their hardest to be as negligent as possible with my wife. It's almost a copycat situation to be honest but she was lucky. Three days on ICU and the surgery failed, plus she had an internal bleed where they

That's because, relatively speaking, fixing those problems is a lot easier. That doesn't mean we shouldnt strive to do things we can't already though.

Probably the best comment here and I'm surprised many people missed it. There isn't going to be a cure all for every cancer just like that.

No other mouse gives me the same trouble. Its the mouse not me. It's not because I don't know how to use the three sea shells.

Alloy has nickel in it. Nickel causes contact dermatitis for a lot of people, me included. My MBP does the same and is coated in vinyl sheet to stop it literally making my hands bleed. Apple is one if the only vendors that actually doesn&#x

This. My magic mouse bites me (nips me on the gaps around the edge), gives me proper arm pain and a rash. Total piece of crap. Have a 12 year old Microsoft optical USB one that replaced it.

Probably yes. I wondered this myself when I heard about this reengineering project which I agree needs to be done after delving into the vim source before. However the time to market before it was even slightly usable would be rather large
