Are you kidding? Something as primitive as rsync can manage that. The real problem is that it will just run forever. If you have a good OS, a batch job that runs for days is not really a problem.
There's nothing "pretend" about actually repeating something. If your model is no good at anything then it needs to go in the rubbish bin with casting spells.
A lot of these people with "poor access" are probably on Medicaid. So this politically motivated proposition may ultimately and ironically resolve into "socialized medicine sucks".
Except it's not quite that simple. People like to forget that we actually do have public healthcare options. There may be a gap where the working poor fall through the cracks but those in serious poverty do have access to healthcare. It's called Medicaid.
Also personal choices do matter. Even if a pap smear or colonoscopy is free, you still have to go out and get it. People may still avoid doctors if services are free or if they are "wealthy" enough.
Also, pap smears are an annual ritual of those that choose to take birth control pills.
Vague ideas about "healthcare access" are driven by politics.
What do you expect? It's a Trek fan film. The TOS ones take everything lock stock and barrel including unfilmed scripts and original actors. Of course a fan film is going to reuse major elements from the franchise.
Swearing is only "deviant" in some parts of "polite society". This also varies greatly by region. What would be considered mundane in Manhattan would be considered absolutely scandalous in Georgia. Southern hangups are even more extreme than that going beyond what someone on either coast would view as "profane".
This almost sounds like something that snowflakes that have never been out of the suburbs would come up with.
I wasn't terribly impressed by the description of it either. I like the message but I'm not sure I'm going to latch onto any random nonsense just because it confirms my own biases.
Populists are nothing new in the US. They just don't tend to bring the whole system crashing down over here. It's almost as if our "arcane racist" constitution has something going for it after all.
I would love to live in the future but I have to deal with the present.
Also betting that none of these electric cars from Europe or China are anything remotely close to something I would want to use regardless of how it's powered.

They need to be as close to what is used in combat or else training effectiveness is reduced. THAT will cost American lives.
Also, the DO train recruits with real live grenades. It would be hard to fully appreciate and respect those things otherwise. Throwing around a training grenade is not the same thing at all.
Civilian do-gooders should stick to recycling things and whining that there aren't enough women in STEM.
Serious server gear can function in 100+ temperature so long as that's a stable temp. I had a rack of Sun gear in Vegas we kept in a closet. Our cooling "solution" was always failing.

Why stream it when you can just store it locally?
Just think of all the resources you're wasting with that. It's like you hate the planet or something.
> In most cases, if you can fill a 16 TB disk, that data isn't actually yours.
You're projecting. You're the thief and you think everyone else is.
It's not a big deal if you don't do it all at once. It's like using iTunes or Netflix but without the network or the problem of things "going away".

Hysterectomies were just a trendy surgery to have for awhile. Doctors did them "just because". A lot of them had nothing to do with cancers.

...and that too was ignored by EVERY other fan film project out there.

He didn't do anything that anyone else hasn't done.
I like having what I want when I want it.
Forms of consumption other than privately owned physical media simply don't allow for this.
You're at the mercy of what corporations let you have at a given time and they can change their minds at any moment.
I have always thought of Netflix as a bone yard. Movies end up there once they aren't even worthy of the Walmart bargain bin anymore.
This decline in DVD sales and prices has been going on for a VERY long time already.
Blaming it on Netflix is a bit silly.
The idea of a DVD seems quaint to a lot of people these days. I wouldn't buy them myself if I couldn't convert them into nice DRM free files.

Except it's you lot that are pretending that an expensive brand name product is somehow different from it's cheap generic counterpart.
The fact that you're spouting complete medical gibberish is par for the course.
So then subscribe to one of several services that offer new content on a paid basis. Even that is still cheaper than most cable packages.
Keeping yourself "informed" on Slashdot? Really?
You have no reason to be smug about anything.
So... only people of other races are poor.
That's an interesting claim there "warrior".

Sun support said the gear could handle it.
If you're planning ahead, thinking in terms of WHEN that next disaster is going to happen rather than IF, then you won't have that problem.
The unemployment line is really for ditch diggers who can't help living pay check to pay check.
Medicaid most certainly does suck if you are a provider. They don't pay squat. They tend to pay about 25% - 33% of what real "healthcare" would pay.
Too much of this kind of stuff will KILL an independent hospital. It will just fold and close.
