This isn't VR, this is AR. They are a very different experience . VR will get you there. AR will not get you there, but may get Tera Patrick standing in front of you in YOUR living room.
Quit being hippies.
We all know that big business is struggling and they're not hiring because they cannot find the talent in the states. It is their duty to hire and pay fair wages.
Jeesh, this is America!! Home of the Free and the well-employed!
We had to outsource because Americans couldn't do the work anymore.
Lol, profits as main goal. You fools. It's not like we'd use slaves if it weren't illegal.
It's going great! How's Romney going? With his empathy towards unemployment, after-all, he has been for a while too.
And his ability to directly relate with the people!
I don't like either side of the argument, I just hate propaganda that is single-sided (I guess all of it is.)
I really wish our nation would collectively come together and demand suggested actions that the people will take, detailed action plans and the like, and require that the president follow-through with them or justify the lack-of following their own action plan.
You just sort of described everything Google does...
For the product (most of us) anyway. I'm sure their customers are treated well, er, relatively. Minus the outages they experience every once in a bit.
I am non-opinionated in this thread, but I do have to point out that trying to discredit somebody else's opinion on a matter by telling them that what they are doing is wrong, or assuming something pretty major of them, whilst you go on to say that you are bitching as well as they are bitching, makes you look like an asshole.
So, don't tell somebody to not do something you are doing because it disagrees with what you said. Well, I mean you can, it's your right, but it makes you look like an asshole who would be genuinely upgraded in life status by being called a douche, or being douched out with an asshole douche.
Also, turning the word Republican into anything but republican, same goes for liberal/democratic and red/blue, makes you look like an underwear stain on the great fabric of the internet.
So, just say no to being an asshole who leaves underwear stains on the fabric of the internet. It gives people with opinions on the internet a bad name.
Before you get all huffy puffy, the real retardation here are the parents who buy their kids these things...
It's not the kids, but the parents. So... I don't get why everybody is saying the kids are at fault here. I think you'd have been better off stating what I stated.
Yet, this is not on the news about bad parenting. Hmm.
Have an off-site backup.
1) Now, Visio diagram everything in racks, cabling included.
2) Ensure off-site backup works, connect to it as main source of data and direct back backup flow
3) If absolutely necessary, grab drives from critical machines only.
4) Call insurance company immediately upon entering a safe zone, let them know what's happened.
Ensure building is COMPLETELY empty, shut down EVERYTHING in the server room, Yell to verify the rooms are completely empty and secure the rooms as best as you can, Priority number 2 here is securing the data however it is necessary.
Priority 1 is, naturally, life.
Unless you are trained in fire prevention and use of a fire extinguisher and licensed as such, I would not toy at all with a fire.
If you panic and trip and fall and a piece of hardware gets broke, too bad.
Upon returning, depending on nature of security. investigate the room thoroughly, even if no fire touched the building. Validate the power down of old equipment didn't leave any odd smells.
Shut down everything's power switch, EVERYTHING.
Turn power back on for the room. Give Management an ETA of 2.5-4x real time, with the off-record note that it will probably be quicker but you are being dutiful of potential problems (This should all already be written down and signed by your boss/manager and upper management should be aware)
Power on equipment in clusters of 2-5 machines at a time, most relied upon first, last relied upon last. (Networking, SAN,backend servers, frontend-ish servers)
Have a co-worker help you with this.
If a piece of hardware has failed, determine why as quickly as possible, if not possible, follow replacement procedures and, if necessary, buy new until you are able to facilitate insurance claim/RMA/etc.
Have admins/yourself test certain functions of the network/SAN/Whatever to verify proper operation.
Be ready for calls. There are always calls.
This is summarized, of course. Insert what you need, take out what you don't. If you have off-site full operations, ensure your managers know. Keep your manager and possibly one step up from him in the loop and facilitate questions as they arise but ensure they know the importance of you not being sidetracked.
I've forgotten a few things, etc, but I THINK this is a good start.
If you are in a fire situation, and a fire breaks out in your server room, Alarm and evac. Do NOT put out he fire unless you are certified.
Insurance companies have a statement, commonly, that relieves them of heroic attempts at hardware rescue by non-heroes.
Another key thing, your manager has to play middle-man. He HAS to take all the heat from your clients and his management. Questions are alright.
Oh, and don't overwork yourself. You need to be there (Mentally) for remedial efforts. Burning yourself out to bring a system up in half the time is a no go.
This may sound very government-esque and lazy, but put yourself in the shoes of somebody in the situation and just think of the stress you'd be under to bring everything back up.
Oh god, I did not realize it would all bunch together when I hit enter... grr. Or, so the preview says.
If you've got something to say, controversial or not. Have the audacity to represent what you believe in.
They should have charged her $1.50 a song times the amount of people who allegedly downloaded the song... Sounds like a fair punishment to me. For those of you who think that's just, remember that pen you stole from work or school? or that pencil, the RIAA is going to get you, put you in court and charge you $9,000 dollars per infringement. No matter how many pieces of paper you wrote on, sorry, should have bought your own pencil.
AFAIK allows unlocking of phones.. You buy it, it's yours to use. Thats why certain companies are sim card-less, easier to keep them on the network. But, to knowingly send out a patch that could brick their product for users not using it in the way they wanted... That's a class action. Not to mention the possibility of it doing it to "legit" iphones, as they call it. Apple obviously didn't know what they were doing when they got into the cell phone business, they expected their phone to be their baby and nobody to actually exercise their right to unlock it. Phones are unlocked all the time, Craigslist and ebay prove that.
Go to the PSP forums at Sony and say that. They let users discuss Homebrew usage all the time. It's a security flaw they are required to patch for the lowest common denominator, meaning the average dipshit who doesn't know much about much and will download anything that says "This will do this" on it and then brick the psp. You aren't forced to upgrade firmware, so I don't see them doing everything they can to disable it.
Therefore we should just leave our data unsecured, throw all of our information into blogs on the internet and hope the good guys are the only ones who see it?
I don't understand where your argument is. Yeah, there's always a way through, but making it harder is key.
And I damn well support frying data rather than letting it get into the wrong hands, and if the data is sensitive enough, then one pw fail = destroyed drive is fine with me.

I've found problem solving in abstract ways to be waaaaay more inductive to and indicative of a blend of intelligence and creativity.
New Money. New Licensing. So excite. Must buy 20. I'm a fan of Sony, in general, but wow... The PS2 on PS4 was enough of a stretch, but PS1?
I guess the sarcasm was lost.
All of them! And all solutions must involve fire of some sort! Fix it with FIRE!!!

A joke can never be taken seriously enough. We are on the internet! Everything is srs bzns!!!
I expected the correction responses. GJ on catching the error...

Art thou not aware of thine own future? Art thou so evil, one cannot trust thy anymore? Woe is me. Woe is me...

To be fair, everybody in every country likes to live in their own little bubble.
Also, I generalized this for general reference. If all else fails, get it in writing and pack 72 hours before any risk occurs.
I am so sorry.
