Give your kids plenty of eggs and toilet paper and point out any neighbors that complain too much. I miss the good old days when kids were hell-raisers and suburban terrorists.
The 7970 was widely considered a good card, but you're making decisions based on an experience you had 5-6 years ago. It's entirely possible that the slow framerate was a chipset compatibility issue or your motherboard manufacture screwed up or that you needed to install some updates to your BIOS to fix a well known issue. Most of the cards have thermal sensors that shut off if the fan dies because you won't find a 100% reliable fan on GeForce cards either.
Well it's not your work and you don't get to decide what happens to it. Tolkien's estate gets to decide how much garbage rehashing of these stories get to be done in order to make a quick buck.
If you don't like it, vote with your dollars and stick to the novels. Preferably used copies so you can short his heirs from even that tiny amount of profit.
Anyone who's comparing LOtR to GoT clearly doesn't understand anything about Tolkien and why he was writing his stories....and if you mess with something you don't understand, you will wreck it. Badly.
They understand a lot about making lots of money. And really, that's all that matters when making a TV show.
The question has more to do with legal agreements between SCO and IBM. And the code is not something that is strictly defined as infringing SCO, as the code in question that is present in the Linux kernel (or as patched from IBM) was authored by IBM and copyright by IBM. That aspect the non-infringing nature of the code in Linux is not disputed.
SCO asserts they have every one who has agreed to their Unix license to be under a non-disclosure agreement. And that by releasing code to open source, IBM has violated an NDA. This isn't copyright law, and Linux is still clean. But it does mean that if IBM has violated the NDA that they could be paying some penalties and at the extreme end of what is possible IBM may be prohibited from distributing Linux further.
But you and I can still distribute Linux, including IBM's code. As we are not party to the agreements between IBM and SCO. And because we are following copyright laws to the letter, and IBM still has the right to license software they have authored even if distribution of that software violates an NDA agreement that none of us have signed.
You're expect to conform the the conventions of you peers. That's how languages evolve. It's a fairly gradual process and not without controversy.
If you're at all into grammar, then it matters that some words are countable or others are uncountable. And in some contexts you'll be judged as uneducated if you use improper grammar.
Ultimately words have meaning, and there is a serious problem if you prefer to repeat words without understanding the meaning.
Why do we need exactly 3? Why not 2? Why can't Equifax die off and be replaced through the free market? (those were all rhetorical questions) The system is not a free market and there are powerful people in charge that make decisions about us regular citizens without us having much say in the matter. And all of this is contrary to democracy. Many have volunteered to fight and die in the name of a democracy that is now quickly fading away.
Minnesota usually gets some nice hard freezes and you can drive around on hard snow and ice.
Southeast Michigan tends to half-thaw every afternoon and re-freeze at night. So you are driving through slush layered on top of sheets of ice and open pavement. It's the deceptive aspect of Michigan winters and our shitty beat-to-hell roads that makes the driving very challenging.
But I'd be put up on federal charges if my response to a subpeonas what to degauss all my media. If I were in a civil case and I did that, at the very least I can expect to be in contempt of court.
But I guess I'm just weird for wanting to hold my government to the same standards that they hold me.
It's a big deal getting hired again when your previous employer argues that you were terminated for "performance reasons".
It seems like a spiteful thing for Tesla/SolarCity to do. There has to be some advantage to them to do this. I can't think of one because theoretically all of those let go are still able to collect unemployment benefits, and the companies aren't on the hook for those anyways. (in CA it's from the IU that you have been paying from the day you started)
The Anglican Communion has detailed procedures for burial at sea. The ship has to be stopped, and the body has to be sewn in canvas, suitably weighted. Anglican (and other) chaplains of the Royal Navy bury cremated remains of ex-Naval personnel at sea. Scattering of cremated remains is discouraged, not least for practical reason
I'm thinking more along the lines of being dumped out of a speed boat as it passes through the Golden Gate. If I need a religious reason I am an ordained minster of the Church of the Subgenius. It's how "Bob" would have wanted me to go.
If more things move to AI done by people who don't understand how AI works, well, the equifax breech will seem like nothing in comparison.
I view the process of collecting and selecting data to be a very different activity than programming to the point that conceivably you could have non-programmers doing a better job than seasoned software engineers. It's a different skill set in my experience.
It's about having good tools. You don't need to know the details of AI to go through the process of building a data set and making practical use of machine learning. It's somewhat like how many programmers don't know digital electronics or assembler but are still able to write software. We're far enough along with machine learning that you aren't starting from scratch for each project, it's more of a modular system and much of it can be setup and configured with GUI tools now.
I think as Linux kernel developers we should take note of the very personal touch the MPAA has used to deal with violators: An early morning visit by a paramilitary police force.
So, what does it take to get a job setting policy?
influential friends.
and is it worth it? or is the job so lousy (pay, people) that a reasonable person would much rather work somewhere else?
well there is the a lot of job security. and if you're high enough up to be making decisions you can get a the idiot nephews of powerful people hired to start working the system to your advantage. but realistically if you have other skills or interests or scruples you should probably go for a more traditional career.

Now is not the time for zombies to rise from their graves.
That's how capitalism works. If you have more money you "deserve" more stuff.

Hopefully this server wiping is as thoroughly investigated.
I won't hold my breath.
You still get to benefit from your own labor. But when your children become adults they'll have to get jobs like the rest of us jerks.

I'd like to have my body dumped into the Bay for the crabs to eat. Preferably after I die of natural causes.

You have no data to base that assertion on.

I kind of need my laptop batteries when I'm at home too.
Either I'm a base coward or a pragmatic engineer. The future will judge me more fairly than you have.
