My car is technically a pile of metal, pastic, cloth, and oil, but it can also be a advanced mobility enchancer. The internet wasn't created to be an information super-highway, but that doesn't mean it's not that and more. You are a fool if you don't think the internet allows massive amounts of information to get around the world.
I have a right not to be recorded by cameras posted all over the city all the time.
I have a right to deal with a human being and when I'm accused of a crime, and if you've ever tried to contest a parking ticket, you'll realize you get form letters instead.
And no matter how inconsiderate anybody in my city, including I, might be, I have a right for my safety laws to be enforced for safety and not as another way to fill the coffers.
No, I don't like increases in taxes, but if that's what it takes, city officials need to suck it up and break the bad news to everyone. I'd rather hear "we're increasing taxes because the city need revenue" than "we installing cameras to trap people because the city need revenue."
I'd love a little honesty and openess from my politicians, but maybe that's expecting too much.
No. What you want is for people to drive more slowly and carefully.
Not everyone agrees that cameras are the best way to go about enforcing that, due to loss of privacy and concerns about manipulating safety laws into revunue streams.
Cities are completely ignoring those protests, and that should concern you.
The article seems to state that the delays were fairly crippling to the justice system. It didn't sound like a "we'll just record everything on paper for now" situation. Rather, people couldn't access records until the systems came back up as most paper records had been tossed in the transition to electronic filing.
Honestly, if it's just a power system, that's all the more reason for a back-up system. The logistics of storing a few generators off-site that you can truck over and set up in a few hours is trivial. A 3-day shutdown of a data center is unacceptable when the servers and data are all untouched.
Seriously, have you ever actually read any respectable theology? No, probably not, which is why you promote these misinterpretations and equivocations. Go read some of the top theologians of our day, and then tell me how stupid you think it all sounds. You are not qualified to engage in reasoned discussion on this issue until you have.
And this, boys and girls, would be what sinful pride looks like.
When you die, you lose your ship right? What on earth would compel a team to enter a tournament unless they were sure they were in range of the top 4 spots?
How isolated are these tournaments? Can random people just fly in and start messing stuff up? Can you run away if you're about to be killed?
What are the limitations of the team? What's to stop a really rich team from having a better loadout? Or a really big team? Can you have a large team of cheap ships?
How many human players are involved in a battle.
Don't you think for streaming purposes they should remove the red/blue overlay which makes a cool space battle look like just a bunch of squares standing around if you don't know the game?
Last I checked, neither Google nor GoDaddy has a military, so I don't see how they're forcing anything. Both GoDaddy and Google are probably less concerned about the health of the US than about the health of the Internet, so I don't even think "American world view" and "supporting dictators vs democracies" has much to do with the issue.
It makes more sense to measure from the release of the next version. Part of the reason XP has been supported for so long is that it was the latest version of Windows for a way too long.
XP is 7 years, as measured from the release of an actual alternative, and that's with with a support contract. And I can't help but think that is because people have become a bit entrenched because MS hadn't updated their version in so long.
Making it unfeasible for cafes to provide Wi-Fi because of liability issues is not OUTLAWING anything. It's a bad bill with poorly thought out wording written by stupid legislators, but it's not evil "we hate freedom and all it stands for" law that the OP makes it out to be.
Fear mongering is bad whether you use it to deny gay rights or to stamp out stupid bills.
But try to pitch that!

Be insulting if you wish...
Still, if you work on trivial applications it's okay to treat them like toys, I suppose. I don't, on either score. In any event, I agree with Burnhard. It boils down to whether you want to satisfy some psychological need, or want to earn the trust of both your employer and your customers. The latter is usually more satisfying.
You decide.
HE'S being insulting?
Writing good code and adding easter eggs are not mutually exclusive. What is more likely to happen is if you write good code, people won't mind that you added easter eggs and if you write bad code people will bash you for writing bad code and wasting time on easter eggs.
So the best solution is to encrypt every drive on the campus? You can have security policies that are more specific than "PGP on every machine" vs "no disk encryption at all."

They play hockey at hockey games. The boxing comes free of charge. Think of it as mud wrestling. The mud wrestling comes free of charge too.
Why does everyone think they are entitled to being green without extra cost or inconvenience?

I'm sure if he asked for donations to cover it, he would get a lot more than $80.
I disagree. This is pretty funny, and an appropriate response to a department that has missed the point of enforcing speeding laws.
This is not the first time in history a data center has needed to test if a backup system works.

They were. The data they lost was obviously wicked data that needed to be cleansed from this earth.
Sadly, no matter how you design a system there is always a single point of failure..
What?? This is just incorrect. I'd like you see you back this up. A good back up system would naturally be distributed geographically.
Thanks, Wog and codetwice.

Your phone has all of that too.

It's not really clear what the poster was trying to say anyway, so I don't think it's nit-picking.

...and people get sick by being alive. Better to be dead; corpses don't catch the flu.
Survival is a terrible metric of intelligence. By that standard, lions and tigers and bears are the most intelligent species on the planet.
They were, then we started shooting them. Who's the smartest one now, bitches?
The flu apparently. Even WE are afraid of it.
There are far worse sites online as far as breaking the law is concerned and it is not google's duty nor place to censor it from search results.
