"The world wide web has been abound with speculation on a possible "BIG FOUR" tour for several months. Now, SONISPHERE can exclusively reveal that METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX will play together for the first time in history, in a move that will have metalheads across the globe frenzied with excitement."
- Faruk Ahmet
ANTHRAX guitarist SCOTT IAN agrees, commenting on the enormity of the announcement. "People have been talking about these four bands playing together since 1984. ... No other four bands as influential as the four of us have ever done this. Imagine if The Beatles, Stones, The Who and Zeppelin had done shows? Or Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, Motorhead? Well, I may be getting into some rarified air here but as a fan, that's how big I feel this is."

"On the last day, they gathered for a group photo. They were videogame programmers, artists, level builders, artificial-intelligence experts. Their team was — finally — giving up, declaring defeat, and disbanding. So they headed down to the lobby of their building in Garland, Texas, to smile for the camera. They arranged themselves on top of their logo: a 10-foot-wide nuclear-radiation sign, inlaid in the marble floor."

"When you are famous it is hard to work on small problems. This is what did Shannon in. After information theory, what do you do for an encore? The great scientists often make this error. They fail to continue to plant the little acorns from which the mighty oak trees grow. They try to get the big thing right off. And that isn't the way things go. So that is another reason why you find that when you get early recognition it seems to sterilize you. In fact I will give you my favorite quotation of many years. The Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, in my opinion, has ruined more good scientists than any institution has created, judged by what they did before they came and judged by what they did after. Not that they weren't good afterwards, but they were superb before they got there and were only good afterwards. This brings up the subject, out of order perhaps, of working conditions. What most people think are the best working conditions, are not. Very clearly they are not...

"I notice that if you have the door to your office closed, you get more work done today and tomorrow, and you are more productive than most. But 10 years later somehow you don't quite know what problems are worth working on; all the hard work you do is sort of tangential in importance. He who works with the door open gets all kinds of interruptions, but he also occasionally gets clues...

It has a lot of interesting insights. Long-term/short-term tradeoffs such as this door example are particularly interesting because people often get productivity advice that I suspect hurts them longer term.
- Paul Buchheit
thank you, Paul, for sharing. I had a most inspirational bus-ride in snowy Estonia while reading this gem of a speech :) The avalanche of insights and concentration into 50 minutes is amazing and humbling. I'll definitely come back to Richard Hammings's speech to relive this perfect hour and concentrate on my dream of supporting creative process with software.

The result is a dramatic decrease in memory usage in virtualization environments. *In a virtualization server, Red Hat found that thanks to KSM, KVM can run as many as 52 Windows XP VMs with 1 GB of RAM each on a server with just 16 GB of RAM*. Because KSM works transparently to userspace apps, it can be adopted very easily, and provides huge memory savings for free to current production systems. It was originally developed for use with KVM, but it can be also used with any other virtualization system - or even in non virtualization workloads, for example applications that for some reason have several processes using lots of memory that could be shared.

Good point. I bet you could make an awesome dating site that clustered people based on which jokes they find funny instead of some boring personality profile.

That would be an awesome Facebook app - hmmm...

I'm not sure that I would like people with my sense of humor. Though I might like people who wouldn't like people with their own sense of humor.
- Kevin Fox
You could do some really interesting things on Facebook with this - have people take a quiz of jokes and select the ones they like, then show them the friends that like the same jokes. They then get to decide if they like, or dislike those types of friends. You then get smarter the next time - they use the app more because they want the app to get smarter.

All of my humor harkens back to fuzzy set theory... mostly cuz I can never remember the punchline accurately.

There actually 2^|N| where N is the set of all jokes, considering there is 1 person understanding it and 1 not. Hmm, nevermind, it doesn't make sense.
