Right? "NASA discovers rare metal asteroid that contains so much rare metal that it can now be called regular metal"

20-40ms is too high of latency?

To be fair, comparable phased array antennas for aerospace/military application currently cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Niven nailed it in my opinion, battles took years, often waiting days to see if anything happened.

I would suggest to anyone who thinks that USENIX conferences are solely for graybeards who walk around wearing suspenders, flipping nickels at people, then you should take a few minutes to read through the training program from LISA12. Not only is there the old standard Linux stuff, there are also great classes on building AWS infrastructures, cloudstack, PowerShell, and tons more. It's really pretty great.

BTRFS is not stable! I just lost my /home and all it's snapshots, two days ago.

"You should keep and test backups of your data, and be prepared to use them."

Yes I know about the latest tools. In the end I had to do a btrfs-restore.

The neon sign parallel doesn't have the side effect of causing us to disregard women in booths, whether they're knowledgeable or not. (and yes, I'm the author of the blog linked to)

As a matter of fact, I do carry a Zune and a smart phone. The reason? Battery life. I really don't want to run down the battery on my phone so I can listen to audio books and music. As a dedicated device, the Zune seems to handle that sort of thing much more efficiently than my phone. I go days of heavy use of my Zune before I have to recharge.

Maybe they thought it was the new Mafia game.

That sounds great, until you realize that UW is cutting the numbers of in state students that they're admitting because out of state students bring in more money in tuition. WWU cutting it's CS department reduces the options that in-state students have for getting a technical education.

For example, management, monitoring, and logging traffic.

Awesome. Experts exchange now blocked! This has immediately become my favorite google search feature.

by the number of idiots who have posted comments on this story. 1. Blizzard has to defend their trademarks or lose them, so of course someone creating a game called "World of Starcraft" is going to get a C&D. 2. People seem to get the idea that fans of something should be able to do whatever they want with that thing. Fanfic can be interesting, but non-canonical, and a creator may feel that his/her baby was violated by it. I feel it is entirely up to the copyright owner as to whether or not they allow such things, and so it is completely up to Blizzard whether or not they let you muck around in their world. If someone steps over the line of what they will allow, here comes a C&D.

It's sad that these guys have put so much work into their mod for naught, but Blizzard acted as soon as they knew, so you can't really blame them.
