That's because they put the green zebra on the endangered species list as a result of the overwhelming slaughter that gave us all that green zebra paper.
You didn't think we stopped using it because it went out of style, did you?
We replaced it philosophically with the Green Movement. Have to have our green somewhere...
More than 50% of the property taxes I pay (a substantial sum) supposedly goes to education. I have issues believing that it actually costs as much to educate kids as it does to maintain the city infrastructure.
So yeah, maybe we should be able to dictate what our money is spent on. They're clearly not using it efficiently, and I question whether more than a small percentage of what I pay is actually supporting education.
That said, they're also impractical for a lot of RAID levels these days. It takes a while to rebuild a disk when you have to rebuild 10+TB of data. When "a while" starts translating into 24 hours or more, you end up at serious risk. RAID6 will only get you so far. Full-out mirroring is expensive.
Every time I see posts about hard drives getting bigger, I wonder: how long until they're no longer practical due to concerns about data safety? Backing up a large drive is already difficult.
Then again, I would really like to see them make this kind of progress with SSD... A 10TB SSD would be a wonderful thing.:)
A lack of college degrees does not in any way indicate a low level of intelligence. Actually, it doesn't indicate much of anything that matters, really.
The national income average is irrelevant; income only matters relative to the cost of living in a given area. I would be willing to bet the the cost of living there is vastly lower.
As for the percentage of people living below the poverty line, this might be somewhat eye-opening: http://www.ppic.org/publicatio...
I have no problem with that. There are so many varying taxes rolled into every little thing we pay money for that it takes a shocking level of record keeping, attention to detail, and research to determine what our overall individual tax rate actually is.
That's why they do it this way. If people truly understood just how much money we're giving away to the government, they would be screaming bloody murder.
If you can't manage your own business by collecting the legal taxes yourself then you should not be in that business. Sell to Amazon and charge Amazon. Why should someone else be responsible for your legal obligation. You are the one benefiting from the reward.
If you can't manage your own life by paying your allotted use taxes yourself then you should not be alive. Use a paid buyer and pay that buyer. Why should someone else be responsible for your legal obligation? You are the one benefitting from the reward.
Tab stops are variable. With spaces, I can guarantee that the next person to read my code will see it visually represented exactly as I intended when I wrote it. With tabs, that guarantee is absent.

And how, exactly, did you think that happened?
Because you keep breaking production.
Now posted to the right comment, because I'm excellent with computers.
And wow, I managed to reply to the wrong comment. Go me.
I'll bet I can't handle security either.

We should all be far more concerned that people are basing financial decisions on something posted on Twitter of all places.
That's just what they want you to think...
*almost no one waves back at you*
More like the party of the fanatics.
Of course, at this point, I could be talking about either party and it would be true just the same...
Fuck off and leave!
What, half a cigarette per month?
I don't have a problem paying for schools; that's not the issue.
I have a problem with getting too little education for too much money.

But then, this is the real world... ::sigh::
RAID does not a backup make.

Wow. Listen to that thunderous "woosh!"
If someone jams their quantum radar, they just reverse the polarity.

Oh, wait...

This is assuming fixed-width fonts, of course.
No, no, it's connecting people. You're just confusing *which* people.
They're connecting advertisers to users. See? They're connecting people!
Or maybe they're connecting people to wallets...
