As compared to most movies today where if you remove the special effects all you have is a soundtrack and some guy going AHHHHHHHHHHH for an hour and a half plus a sex scene (two people going AHHHHHHHH for 5 minutes)?
Clock change happens on Sunday morning, the heart attacks happen on Monday morning, so the problem is work. Mandate no critical meetings in the morning and mandatory grace for being a few minutes late and we'll eliminate those and many more heart attacks.
Not really, since it's a spit in the bucket compared to thousands of reading all over the world. Does it bother you when someone tries to explain away a record summer with "someone must have parked an ice cream truck next to THE thermometer"?
Note, Australia has been having awfully warm winters of late including a recorded high of 39C last year in August.
Agreed, that's a very bad idea, but not a prerequisite for the flaw to be a problem. It might also be a non-routed address but another machine in the same LAN segment gets compromised and used as a jumping off point, for example.
There may have been a void under the tarmac, but it still had to be pretty damned soft for him to step through it. Likewise in the Queensland incident, there's only so faulty tarmac can be. Again, it had to be pretty damned hot for that to happen.
They used a shellcode exploit to return the contents of a file on the ILO processor that has the passwords in cleartext! They didn't publish that as far as I can see, but there is a published python program to add a new user with admin privileges and a password of your choice.
Bad HP! Go stand in the corner.
Is it just me or have HP servers been a bit flaky for the last 5 years or so?
That's fine if you're always writing your own software from scratch, but it's a whole different world when you inherit someone else's mess. That's where you start to curse the ability to redefine the world around a 'clever' function or two.
And the guy who sunk into the tarmac just happened to be carelessly testing his now flamethrower at the time. And clearly the highs in Ireland are nothinb more than the result of pranking leprechauns running around sticking all the thermometers in buckets of hot water. As they are known to do.
I'm sure a similar point was made once in Sears' boardroom...
I don't see Google disappearing today or tomorrow, but they're not immune. And it goes beyond AdSense. They also want to be a player in the cloud and many other areas where someone may remember the level of support they got in the past when choosing a vendor.
What does total traffic have to do with publication? Most of that is reading published articles, not posting of new articles.
But if they indeed don't have the ability to manually review, they should take a much less accusatory tone in their messages to allow for the distinct possibility that their bot is wrong. There's something about a bot being dead wrong coupled with a message that demands that the recipient must be in the wrong, especially when it is followed up with further messages indicating no beliefe in even the possability that your complaint might have merit that just doesn't sit right.
It makes it far too easy to picture them bending down to sniff their own farts like in Southpark.
In some ways, yes. In others, the whole problem in Westworld is that the bots went and did their own thing incorrectly and no humans remained in charge.
Keep in minmd, there's also no profit in support or accepting returns on defective products. If Google wants to be known as the "talk to the hand" company, that's their funeral to plan. I reserve the right to remind people that if they're hoping for any actual support if something goes wrong, they may want to look elsewhere.
That's well understood. The problem is when there is no human oversight to correct the inevitable mistakes that bots make either before or after the fact. Had you actually read TFA, you would see that a request for a review of the page was sent and the prompt (probably also automated) response was NO.
If you're going to let bots make the decisions, "talk to the hand" is not a very good response to questions.
So they'll just have to copy data to a few tapes and send them by car. Enough data to handle the contingency would easily enough fit on one LTO tape. They'll have to do that anyway for the other customers since last month's statement won't likely be up to date.
That's the bank's problem. They need to have a contingency plan to deal with their own failures.
The data exists or the account wouldn't exist in the first place. If they don't have an appropriately isolated internal network, they'll need to move data on tape around.
Not quite. If they cannot provide the promised online banking services, they owe all customers teller service until they restore their online services. After all, it's the bank that screwed the pooch so it's the bank that needs to bear the pain.
The only reasonable alternative would be requiring the bank to give their online only customers their full balance in cash on demand and close the account.

They DID promise that when they had their hands out for taxpayer dollars. They gfot the dollars, but the taxpayers didn't get much in return.
We pay even more here once you consider the services not provided in the U.S. that we nevertheless need.
Exactly. Offering passengers drinks and such is purely a secondary function.

In the same sense that they're free to fart in the Elevator and piss on the walls in a public restroom.
The subject of this discussion is spiders
They build a charge by scuffing across the carpet. Humans can't fly because with only 2 feet we can only generate 1/4th the charge.

If they gain a reputation for being unhelpful and officious, people will jump ship the instant competition springs up.

Failing safe is one thing, but human oversight after the fact should be available.
GovTrack.us is not a taxpayer funded site.
