Also for a sanity check on your hardware. I never experience this with a Linux box, but on specialized Sun Hardware back in the early 2000's. Back then Uptime was a big deal, because system crashes were common. Linux at the time, you can get about a year of uptime, Windows NT perhaps 3 months max. However Sun Hardware can keep running for many years. However being that most of the time server hardware was used for specialized tasks, that most of the storage requirements were cached in RAM (Which back in the day have 1 or 2 gigs of RAM, was enough for nearly anything). So the Service will work and run constantly, even after the drive failed, because everything was running in RAM (and your logging went to an other drive). Only to have a long time power outage affect your years uptime, with a server that wouldn't start back up, because the boot and OS drive had failed years ago.
Enough to be annoying. Heck I get emails, with a screen shots of the scan of a fax one has received, of an excel file.
I can barely read it myself, and for some reason the senders seem reluctant to send them the excel file, mostly because they don't know how to attach one, but they are able to go to insane methods to give me an unreadable images.
We already have it. When someone has committed a felony or has been arrested (even if innocent) the action is on the record, making it harder for people to get jobs, apply for loans, and do things in general to help them improve their lives.
For a lot of criminals, they don't do crime because they want to be a bad person, they do it because they cannot see any better alternatives. Then if they get caught, and once they leave jail, even more better alternatives are now off the table.
"Activist" Investors are not about Social Justice. They are investors who use their money to influence what the company does to increase their short term revenue.
For some reason people think Socialism and Capitalism is an all or nothing type of thing, which has to diametrically opposed to each other.
While the actual problem with these ideas isn't the philosophy but the implementation, and forces who actively break the spirit of the ideas.
The problem with capitalism today, is it is in a feedback loop where the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. The richer you are the lower your interest rates are on a loan because you are considered a safer investment. The poorer you are the higher your interest rates, because you are a high risk. It is more expensive to be poor, so you have less money to save and use to get out the cycle. While when one is rich they have excess capital, which they just can reinvest and use to increase their profits. This in itself isn't bad, however traditional capitalism, meant such reinvestment often would trickle down to the poorer people, because a reinvestment would go to hiring more workers to create more output. Or towards a better machine which would open up a new sector of the economy, However today there is too much in investing into investing. There is little trickle down, it is just feeding the top, and for the little good produced that the poor can afford will cause them to lose capital and feed the growth even further. Because this system is breaking down, there are some fixes that needs to be addressed. Additional government oversight (a Socialist idea) can be one of the fixes to the problem, before it goes further out of hand. Other options would need to find some other disruptive influence to change it. That would have just as much if not more consequences.
Now Socialism, there is the danger of the people in power, to abuse it for their own gains, Capitalism does have the advantage of the "Invisible hand", If there is a product that gets popular, then businesses will ramp up production to sell it, and/or charge a higher price for it. Once people stop wanting a product, then the company goes out of business or finds something else to sell. In a Communist (Strict Socialism) environment there will a power source telling you want you want and need to get. Hence that is why we have long bread lines. Because the communist state isn't prepped to meet demand, and may not have the right goods available for what the people need. Say every Monday there is bread, which everyone needs to get, so they are long lines, and on Tuesday it is cooking oil, which people may not need every week. To have a Pure Socialist government work correctly we will need an Altruistic government, and a lot of administration to make sure demand is being met.
I myself tend to favor capitalism, however we need to put in and sometime remove socialist elements in it, to make sure it is running smoothly and prevent huge dips and rises because a lot of people will be hurt from a big dip, and an artificial rise (Say from a fad) may cause too much over production and cause such a large dip.
If more people are using something then there will be an uptick in ER visits because of such something.
The biggest problem with a Sharing and Service Economy. Is the lost of Pride of Ownership. When you Own something especially if it is something you have sacrificed to buy. You tend to treat it better and more carefully, when something is rented, or paid with your tax dollars, you don't feel it is yours, and more apt to abuse it, just to get the most out of your buck that you can during that time. So you would drive harder, take more risks, then if it was under your direct dime.
The issue with keyboards, on mobile devices, is size and proper feedback. Even in the golden age of keyboards on phones. The phone was really only good for typing a few sentences, and perhaps a paragraph or two if needed. It in not like typing on a full size keyboard. Where you can place all ten of your fingers on it at once, and type at a really good speed. The best cell phone physical keyboard, is about as good as the worse Chicklet keyboard from the 1980's budget Computers (I will probably consed membrane keyboards are worse). The touch keyboard while not really an improvement in typing, isn't a major hindrance as well. So your email on your iPhone will take 5 seconds longer to type then on your blackberry, but still having the screen go away and extra reading space. Allows you to read those messages and saving you 10 seconds reading and navigating all you extra emails that do not require a response.
The biggest thing that stops me from getting a tablet (even a phablet) is that they are too big to carry in my pocket, so they are not convent, so I would rather stick with my phone for convince, and a laptop for needing more screen space. A folding display if done well, could be useful, more useful then a fold out keyboard.
I have to pay $2.00 in a soda machine for a bottle of Coke. 10 years ago I needed to pay $1.50 and 20 years ago it was $1.00. It is like its price rises 3% every year.
However the biggest problem with Subscription services, is that over time, they will need to raise their prices, however people have the money for the services budgeted. So Price rises tend to cause outrage. Vs having a DVD and then getting one at a higher price in the future. This doesn't cause as much outrage.
Chances are you SSD's arn't really that big, A good portion of it is protective casing, and connectors spreading out so they can be clipped in, and even spacing for anything that will need a human to be able to solder together. The big point about RAID, is if one fails, you can replace the failed component with a new one. Having an embedded RAID device the size of a stick of Gum would be counter productive.
Quick off the top of your head what is the Bus transfer rate of your motherboard?
The thing is, sometime technology reaches a good enough state, that for normal use, knowing how much you have isn't a big deal anymore.
Mobile devices are not well designed for heavy multi-tasking like your desktop is. And with rather fast storage of state when you switch apps, Having dozens of Gigs of Volatile Ram isn't as needed on such a device.
Because it is still Memory, and it is still RAM (Random Access Memory). The difference is that this product is Non-Volatile RAM that data will not go away after its power is turned off and what you call Memory is Volatile RAM, which will go away after power is lost. However both is Memory and RAM. As it hold data given to it for later retrieval. And they are Random Access meaning you don't need to sift threw a blocks of data you don't need until you happen to get to your useful memory spot.
Historically Storage wasn't Random Access, It was read sequentially from Cards, to Tape. The Disk magnetic storage still had to reference data in the time, however it can take shortcuts, by moving to different sectors of the disk and reads a block of data.
The two most popular phone OS's are Android and iOS. Android is based off of Linux, while not Unix, was designed with many of the Unix principals in mind. iOS is based off of a Unix kernel.
Not so much for iOS, but for Android phones, I find they fill up much faster. I am not trying to Troll. it is probably because you can do more custom stuff on Android phones, that they get filled up faster. While Apple Walled Garden approach to Apps makes storage much smaller first by reducing what you can possible use, and often rejecting apps that use a lot of resources (even it for a purpose) and also forcing apps to follow UI Policies, so there is more shared resources.
The Walkman was like the iPod of the time. The only thing was Apple learned that if it kept the file format to itself, they wouldn't be popular Copy models a few years down the line.
While the iPod is more or less dead technology, it was replaced by the Smart Phone, and not by any iPod killer that everyone was expecting.
But like most new technology, when it comes out, it is expensive so only some people will get it, over time, they will be cheaper options.
That is Exaaaatlee how it sounds, afeeeerrrr extendeeeed use of a a tape, It is like an Analog Signal on a flexible material, placed under tension just seems to not keep its quality. Heck even in the golden age of tape, Steve Reich recorded a violinist on tape and recorded it onto an other tape, then played both at the same time, the fact that both recordings cannot be exactly played at the same rate, means the music gets out of phase, creating a rather complex sets of rhythms in the music.
Everything seems better back in the days when you were old enough to go out by yourself, but not so old that you need to pay bills and hold a full time job. So whatever you use back when you were 12-24 seemed so much cooler and worth while then the new crap now.
Sure casket tapes regularly broke, and quality degraded over time. Ever once in a while they get stuck in the Tape Recorder, and you need to spend minutes trying to get things back together. After 1/2 hour you have to eject the tape and flip it over. And if there is that one song you really liked, you will fast forward and rewind until you finally think you found your song.
However you don't think back to those days, you remember your walkman thinking it was smaller then it actually is, listening to hours of music from your favorite bands, even though during your travels you probably one had one or two tapes, and those batteries wouldn't last too long. But the nostolgia isn't from the technology being better then today, but because you are experiencing freedom, your life is an open book with a future ahead of you.
Then by the time you leave college. Things start getting more mundane. You no longer have time to sit down and learn to love new music. You see streaming music as just an other monthly fee, even if you were paying more with your part time job money for tapes every month. That song that you use to listen to that reminded you of your High School crush, is not longer as hopeful as it use to be, but makes you think of the choices you have made and how things may have gone different.
Sometime we think, if we can bring back things that use to make us feel, good, that these things would make you feel good... The problem is they really don't because Tape, Vinyl (I called them Records), CD's, a reboot of your favorite TV shows. will never be the same, because you are different.
I am always assuming that I am being spied upon. However in America the first Amendment prevents me from being put in jail from my viewpoints, just as long as I am not using my speech intentionally hurt people. Also if content was released about me, that has only happened via my own government spying on me, then I have recourse against it. China doesn't have such advantages to its citizens.
I am not saying what America is doing is good, or the right thing to do. But at least I have some power and rights from it.
Actually the problem will not solve itself. They are people people who are not vaccinated for legitimate health concerns from the vaccines, they can get sick from the normal healthy person who gets sick, because they were stupid. Also with almost every health problem, we need to pay for other people getting ill, even in a Multi-payer health system.
Your insurance rates are high, because the insurance company needs to pay for the sick people (often from preventable illnesses). Those without Insurances, will often be unable to pay for the services, forcing Health care institutions to Eat the cost... That Cost will then go into the Fee Schedule and raise the cost of everything else.
The problem I have with congressional hearings, it is that you a forced to go to a roasting session, and a scolding that one hasn't had sense they were 8 years old. The problem is that these do little to fix the problems, politician zingers only really hurt people with political ambitions. A CEO doesn't need to win popular vote, He is fine being the most hated man in the world just as long as he gets his pay. Besides after the hearing, most CEO's will get out of the public eye, and most people will forget such insults and scolding told to him. These hearings shouldn't be about punishing a guy, no matter how nasty they are. But trying to get information so Congress can craft laws and policies to prevent it from happening again.
I am sure Mark Begor as an adult, will fly home in his personal jet, and not loose much sleep, because a Congresswomen got a good zing on him.
You have right to your opinion... However you should had watched the movie, or at least wait for the movie to be released.
I have two words for you. Micheal Bay.
So if Micheal Bay decided to make a non-explosion action flick (as many directors, may try to expand their scope) and finds that he is wonderful at say Victorian drama. Shouldn't the movie be based on its self not the names attached to it.
Exactly. Unfortunately the User Review portion of Rotten Tomato, which was meant to a counter to those Snooty Reviewers who are sometime out of touch with the common man. Has became the common mans outcry on their expectation. Say from a bad trailer, their general exhaustion from a franchise. Be it Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter... Or, if they think a movie is going to be too Politically Correct, just because there was a minority actor in a leading role. Or they in general just do not like the director or actor.
There are so many ways of spying and identifying people. But when you need to fill out Bureaucratic papers, it is like you never have existed before today, and you have mountains of papers to fill out just to prove that you do exist.

Where is the most common failure? That is my biggest question.
32 Days seems much too short. I can see maintenance every 32 days though.
