The first practical TV remote was the Zenith Space Command, which worked by whacking resonant bars, and the TV would pick up the sound. The thing vibrated in your hand, and as kids we swore we could hear them, even if technically ultrasonic.
Get another machine with equivalent capacity and rsync between the two using gigE. The first copy will take a while (a day), but subsequent updates will be quick, being only the changes.
Even with windows you can run rsync if you install Cygwin and it's sshd.
If you can put the second machine in a distant room (garden shed, detached garage) that's unlikely to go up in the fire, that's better.
Gregory Peck's role in 12 O'Clock High is also a good example of effective management.
Leadership, on the other hand is much over-rated.
Only if one believes in the mission above all else, including personal sanity. That's a pretty doubled edged example, there, Mr. Conspiracy! (Which is why it's a great story and film.) And I think most people would rate it as leadership first, management second. It's the General above Savage who is doing the managing.
Vogel speaks of the book/author analogy, but doesn't carry it as far as he should. Using a BadAnalogy for the sake of the audience, requiring new art content in every game would be like telling Terry Pratchett he was wrong to keep re-using the Discworld as a setting, because we're owed "new everything" in every book. Or saying that Intel/AMD/ARM are cheating by not introducing new instruction sets with every generation of processor.
I've got no problem re-using engines, artwork, characters or anything else in games, as long as the narrative and situations are interesting.
“I reject the notion by the left of a constitutional separation of church and state,” said David Bradley, a conservative from Beaumont who works in real estate. “I have $1,000 for the charity of your choice if you can find it in the Constitution.”
Oh boy.
He is probably pulling the "amendments aren't part of the constitution" gambit, by which the validity of the Equal Protection clause and the Income Tax is also "refuted."

The incident may have been a pretense to jettison someone whose departure was desirable for other reasons. That the budget is being cut might be reason enough to try to offload the (probably) most expensive guy on the payroll. Maybe he was a squeaky wheel and wanted more security than was determined to be affordable, and just wouldn't shut up about it. Invent your own possible ulterior motives...
to make your own cables, since factory cables can be obtained pretty cheaply. I used to try making my own, and it's not worth it even at home anymore. You just need to shop and not by cables from Monster.
I will pull my own through walls and punch down jack panels, but crimping RJ45s is a loser.
I usually just setup a persistant vnc server on the host in question, and attach to it. I suppose it depends on the capacity of the target system, and the available bandwidth to it. Neither of these is usually an issue for me. I can imagine those with embedded targets and slow modems being concerned, but I still remain amazed that anyone uses this feature of the knife very often. Next thing I'll hear about is someone using "cu" or "tip".
There's demo video at youtube.
It looks to me like a cross between a jetski and a hydrofoil, with control surfaces. In either case, I'm sort of surprised the pilotes are not wearing beefy life preservers. Probably helmets would be a good idea as well. And I'm not keen on the idea of tooling around with the canopy open as seen in the video, because the low gunwales looks like an accidental swamping about to happen with an accidental twitch of the controls.
If you can avoid baking in the greenhouse, it looks like fun.

A. realize that this could be very bad for the company, and protect the company by refusing to turn over access to an unqualified person?
B. turn over access to the access to an unqualified person, and just hope that they don't do anything which results in anyone's death, or your working 16hr shifts for the next 3 months straight.
If the guy asking is above you in the line of command, you give him the passwords. File complaints, if any, with the person's superiors.
That is legal, and ethical. B will never be considered criminally negligent.
If it's a reactor you really don't trust in their hands, you then quit, send letters to officials and the press, and move yourself away from the likely radiation release area.
Quickly.
And if nothing happens, you will discover you were wrong to be overly concerned, or conclude you were lucky.
It probably would have made the release too, except that it got canned after it was working.
It wasn't that HP failed to port ADVfs and trucluster to HPUX -- it was that they decided to stop it in favor of the other solution for arguably political and financial reasons. The people at HP in California were more than happy for the DEC people in New Hampshire to go away, even at the cost of licensing something that was no better than what they already owned outright, but would need to fund support for.
One wonders why they have bothered with this release at this point.
As someone old enough to remember, I can't say there's been that much change in any of the five complaints listed in at least, oh, 40 or 50 years or so.
If you have engineer genes, it's going to be hard. If you don't, well, its even harder.
There hasn't been a new nerd joke since maybe 1960. Only the technology nouns have changed.

The End of E3?

Every computer show has a lifespan, and each burns out not shortly after a peak when vendors find there is too much noise and too much riff-raff to get a message out effectively. Among the first major victims was the National Computer Conference (NCC) which died around 1984; one I attended in Anaheim had spread all over the convention center and into tents in the parking lot. Similarly the West Coast Computer Faire a few years later. Comdex and E3 are only the latest victims of their own success (and excess).
The things that run a long time and don't die are Mumble World conferences run by MumbleCo as a combination conference/marketing event for Mumble and it's partners.
Nobody rides the tour with PowerCranks -- a few have tried them
during training to get variety. It's probably less useful than
climbing 150,000+ feet a month with a CycleOps PowerTap for
recording and monitoring output, which is what Floyd really does.
RTFA. The suit "petitioned the Food and Drug Administration yesterday to beef up its regulation of nanoparticle-containing sunscreens and cosmetics and recall some products." These are things over which it already has jurisdiction.
This is NOT a request for blanket regulation, as some of the more knee-jerk replies suggest.
when I learned in a room full of manual typewriters, not a one of them had a labelled key. (Very nice Olympias they were, too.) There was a key poster on the wall, where you had to look up to see where the keys were.
Probably not; Newsom is close to a lock anyway. Unless there is a kickback/corruption scandal associated with this project, it probably won't affect his support in any meaningful way. He probably just thinks its a good idea.
The dude is really well liked in The City as it is.

This was the filesystem that HP tried to port to HPUX and failed. They licensed Veritas instead.
