I've seen UPS batteries fry. Nothing like unexpected smoke in the data center when the grid goes out. I've seen Diesel backup generators get water in them and be unstartable. I've heard stories of people who weren't paying attention to the fact that they'd overloaded their UPS capacity (for anything more than 15 minutes). Etc. etc.
There are lots of plausible reasons why the backup power didn't work. The real question is, unless it was an act of God, why was InterNap not testing their backups regularly under controlled circumstances to mitigate the risks of these sorts of things happening?
Don't you think putting stickers in books to push a "religion is right, science is wrong" agenda is just a "current fashion"?
Personally, I just don't understand people who think that religion and science are opposed to each other. They're trying to make a fight where there is none. Just because stories that amount to oral history of early humans include teaching stories that aren't "scientific" doesn't mean 1) that those stories have nothing to teach nor 2) that those stories mean science is just flat wrong.
It's still NOT religion. And last time I checked one of the very foundations of science is the "scientific method", the whole point of which is to QUESTION "fashionable theories".
Just because some scientists waste their time in journals being dogmatic assholes to protect their funding doesn't mean science is wrong or bad, any more than it's fair for me to blame all Christianity for Jerry Fallwell and his ilk.
Good think it's not "CHOCK" full. In any case, last time I checked, dogma did not equate to religion. There are religions that do not rely on dogma, and there are plenty of dogmatisms that don't have anything to do with God or other metaphysical issues.
This device will have no effect on the precise positioning service (PPS)
which is transmitted on the GPS L2 frequency of 1227.6 MHz and little
effect on the P-code which is also carried on the L1 frequency.
I dunno, but that doesn't sound like it would be very effective.
Did you even read what this thread is about? If some moron is sending you passwords in clear text in email, THAT PASSWORD WAS NOT SECURE TO BEGIN WITH.
And guess what? That's true of the rest of your email too, though I doubt anyone cares about you sending love notes to your hand's gmail account.
Because we know there's no way he's passed off his lists and primary business to someone else, a partner or whatever, so that the revenue stream just gets transferred away from him while he's under investigation.
Do you really think that repression is the only cause of flames? I don't believe Christians are a repressed minority, but it should be obvious that this guy was likely to get tons of flames in this forum because of all the dogmatic athiests here.
Can you explain to me why you assume his comment implies he believes he's repressed?
Do you have to be a libertarian to call both the established parties out for political opportunism? As long as the results go their way, they're all for "the process was fair, let's leave it alone" and the minute they go the other way, they're all about suing for "the rights of the people". Which is all bs.
Predictably, the two sides have switched arguments, too, with the Democrats saying Rossi should concede and the Republicans saying they have a duty to make sure the will of the people is followed.
Which makes it clear that neither side cares about the will of the people, as long as they win.
I would argue that Creating Applications with Mozilla is not much use to most people unless 1) there's a second edition somewhere or 2) that online edition *is* corrected from the original text and on its way to becoming the second edition. The first edition I bought was confusing and broken on the day it was published, so commenting that the API has moved on since then is no defense for the myriad things wrong with it.
I suppose if you like "tutorials" that are all forward reference you might get something out of it, but me, I expect tutorials to actually explain small things and then build up to the context necessary to explain big things. This book doesn't go anywhere near that concept.

That's why we're in Iraq, right? Because of our "weak position"? Give me a break.

Anyone with a clue here at all?
Apparently not you, since you can't distinguish science from religion.
I dunno, but that doesn't sound like it would be very effective.

So blame the idiots who are sending you passwords on the equivalent of a postcard then. Namely those web services.
Which doesn't change the fact that no game on the market today will allow multiple connections from the same user through multiple IPs.
Round Robin won't work for networked games.
But Michael's hardly a right wing prick. That honor goes to Pudge.
I'm glad they get to hear what I really think of their fucking forever wait times. Goddamn phone monkeys.
You forgot Sun will perish too.
Looks like a bleedin' contrail to me...
Unless I'm the only audience member, that's not a perfect reproduction either.

Better buy up the property as an investment then! And you forgot the self-sustaining == Survivor aspect....

Nah, the real hell was when USENET got spammed by those PSU idiots....AOHell'ers every single one of 'em.

Of course, with 100 images, how much bandwidth can he waste??
That's right, I forgot! If it's free, quality doesn't matter!
