is about to go off the cliff.
The first clue is when the CEO is asleep at the wheel, and the car starts wandering aimlessly.
This is one of those times.
question is, do you visit the website and let them wipe it for you? Or do you do *everything* the hard way.? Seriously, How come nobody has come up with this for IOS. Do you realize how many apple droids spend money having somebody reset their phone?
You just put the minus signs and the decimal points in different places.
Congratulations Jones, the board loved your presentation. We've just put you in charge of accounting.
Not sure why the 30s boot up requirement is there, so it depends on what you define as "booted" .
Spinning up 12 hard drives and making them available through Samba within 30s guarantees your costs will be 10x more than they need to be. This isn't another example of my tax dollars at work is it?
exactly. increasing a systems complexity for the sake of convenience is counter to security. It was called a BASIC IOS for a reason. I can't guarantee that existing code is 100% non exploitable, but if you can't get it right after 30 years, you should be doing something else. This whole security scare is a false dilemma, people who need secure systems know how to do it.
Companies who need to reinvent market share know how to do that too.
There is a reason we use physical keys to control nuke's, rather than, say a garage door opener.
A physical jumper would cost extra money. How about a NON FLASHABLE bios? - we used to have them. We used to have non shitty programmers that could write code that didn't have to be updated every 6 months. There was a time a flashable bios was justified. Now it's just a cross between laziness and DRM. Seeing this article reveals we have some very stupid people in some very high places in the IT world.
I submit that both Newton and Einstein spent a lot less money and a lot more thought on their theories than scientists today. In their defense, the scientists of today have to compete with blowhards who thing that the laws of physics are based on the law of overwhelming popular corroboration.
Moreso, the adoption of facist tactics by the current liberal party makes it impossible for one to enjoy an occasional flight of fancy to a clearly well meaning agenda because it is constantly obscured by a facist wing we mistakenly thought was eradicated 70 years ago.
We all are truly too soon old, and too late smart.
I actually started to read it, but it started its argument citing dodd-frank.
There is no sense even entering a discussion on certain things, which is why armed conflict remains a viable first choice for many.
When these same politicos can control their own spending on nefarious deeds, they will have a little more room to critique others.
Of course, the liberal rulebook is meant to be applied to others, not practiced by the cult.
Until we eliminate it from the equation. Proclaiming we know everything there is to know about genetics, while maintaining that the majority of our genes are comprised of "junk DNA" is poking a stick at nature. The people that would play roulette with the future of the human race, unfortunately will have zero accountability in the next thousand years.
While i don't propose we go back to worshipping sun gods, I do think we have a lot more observational science to practice before rushing headlong into the engineering aspects
Acting responsibley without the capability of neong responsible iss the moral dillema
See the multiple events that occurred in 1983?
The word "They" was officially substituted for "US" into the lexicon
"They" switched from the '67 dollar to the '83/'84 dollar. Making believe inflation didn't happen.
"They" started teaching us to do math with calculators, thus leading to the inevitable statement above.
Please send me 1.7% of your yearly salary. It's nothing when you consider your total income as a whole.
Besides, you didn't earn that money. THEY gave it to you.
Dear mods, This whole thread was much more entertaining than the stream of 0's it currently has. Even the insults traded back and forth remained on topic. Although I admit, I wouldn't let any of these guys in my production department.
Except we know Saturn V failed as an economical method of launching things into space...
...except it failed less than anything else ever tried. So, uh, ok. Now if you mean it failed economically, as in Congress had other plans with our tax dollars, then maybe.
Reusable? You learned little from Apollo and learned nothing from the Shuttle. If you have discovered a cheaper way to burn kerosine in rockets that deliver maximum payload, you are going to be rich. (they would have built a bigger Saturn V if they could have)
Stop burying the crap.
I'm pretty sure any future human civilization (and most animals), will happily avoid a barren radioactive desert shitpile for as long as it remains so.
Seriously?
Companies plan to spend 4.5 percent more on computer security this year than last year, according to results of a Morgan Stanley survey of 100 U.S. chief information officers, released July 13.
They are taking it seriously, they are just doing it wrong.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Since Sept 11 attacks killed 2,996 non combatants.
So I'm guessing your murder rate is a teeny weeny bit less justifiable.
assholes.

only in small claims court and high school ethics class. otherwise no, you have it exactly wrong.
Reading all the articles is bad enough.
Wading through pages of philosophical drivel in search of the good stuff at -1 is just a PITA.
that's not a bug it's a feature. If I never see some half assed power point presentation for the rest of my life, it will be much too soon!
Vim or emacs?
stupid statement,
Armstrong wasn't born in Kenya.
Never met Neil Armstrong. I suspect one day we will have a memorial park at tranquility base.
But he either likes you, or is setting you up. build one of these instead.: http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/11/07/21/143236/build-your-own-135tb-raid6-storage-pod-for-7384 It's already been talked about.
I know you already stated the hardware is already in place. This is about exercising your new found authority. Go big or go home.
Redhat, with a support contract is for him.

BIOS was damn tiny.
