Having no copies at all for such a duration is amazing.
I may not have a proper backup of 100% of the source code I have ever written, but I simply cannot imagine ever not having copies of the stuff written before my last big system upgrade (unless a fire takes out everything.)
It is simply unthinkable to not have a copy of at least 7 of those 15 years.. never in 15 years was a copy made.. seriously?
This is beyond "backup" territory, because even people that dont "do" backups have burned their shit at least once to a cd or dvd in the past 15 years (and yes, a single cd can hold a compressed copy of everything you have ever, or even will ever type into a keyboard.)
The thing is that the tea-party protests were planned and permits were acquired. The rally went for the duration of the permit and then the tea-drinkers went home.
As time goes on the remaining "occupiers" will be filtered out leaving mostly people that are there because they have nothing better to do. More and more are going to be trying to make spectacles of themselves (attention whores) while in the shadows there is a growing underbelly of crooks looking to score some of the easies. Add to that the fact that many of these protests are in technical violating the law, and now police are heavily in the mix too.
So we've got police, criminals, and people who shouldn't be there. Its a powder keg.
I feel like any software engineer tasked with improving the speed of drawing shadow volumes with stencils would eventually consider this as a potential solution.
"Eventually" is some fuzzy shit to be using here, no? Shadow volumes were invented in 1977, over 20 years before this modification to the technique was invented.
If you look at the performance numbers comparing Phenom II x4 830 (2.8ghz) to the new A8-3850 (2.9ghz) you see that the lack of L3 isnt a problem at all when you can also pack on twice as much L2.
To say that they arent victims of themselves when homicide is the leading cause of death among black american men between 15 and 29 is disingenuous apologetic nonsense that refuses to see things for what they are.
We are talking about an unhealthy culture that undermines those immersed within it. If you dont see that something is terribly wrong then you are probably too worried about how others will perceive you if you do, because its fucking obvious.
When a group is held outside of a system for so long, can you understand why it might be hard to come back into this system without hesitations?
The problem isnt that they are "hesitant" to be part of the system, the problem is that they undermine each other in pretty much every way within inner cities. Looking to the past is just looking for an excuse for something that is completely inexcusable. Even up into the 60's, black culture was strong, healthy, and protective. A people that once fought to go to the same schools as whites now just throw their educations away. A people that once stood up to the violence perpetrated against them now commit violence upon themselves. A people that marched on Washington to demand to be treated as equals now call each other niggers in their music.
Dont you dare try to blame this shit on the past when this shit didnt happen in the past.

They are victims of themselves and although it is an economics issue it is also a cultural issue, and the solution is first for the black population to stop doing it to themselves. Some black men feel that they needs to deal drugs in order to get by, but they deal those drugs mainly to other blacks, "knocking them out" of mainstream society as Cosby puts it. A handful of dealers will wipe out an entire community, and when push comes to shove they then commit violence against each other.
The grossness of this state of affairs is that it is popularized, even idolized, by the mainstream black culture. Racism used to be a thousand times worse, but back then the mainstream black culture was much healthier. It used to be that a white man could get away with lynching a black man, even with plenty of witnesses.. but back then the black communities had to look out for themselves, protecting each other. Now they don't. Now they feed on each other in a cycle of abuse and violence.
There are exceptions to every rule.. but go to any inner city and you will see exactly this. Communities knocked out by drugs and violence, and not enough are standing up to say "what the fuck are we doing to each other?"
The point is that people remember words, not characters
This is why I still remember the name of Jimmy James book, "Macho Business Donkey Wrestler" from the News Radio episode "Super Karate Monkey Death Car"
My guess is that they are sending out emails, but since they literally have tens of millions of regular users (and certainly tens of millions of users that havent connected in a long time), that might takes some time.
Unless you are one of those obscenely overpaid executives I don't understand why you would ever take their side.
We recognize that the problem is the government bending over for corporations, not the corporations themselves.
You claim that you need to be protected from corporations, but you are advocating taking away your personal right to choose and giving it to the government... the government that bends over for corporations.
So now instead of being fucked by corporations, you now have no right to choose and are still going to get fucked by corporations.
I am completely fucking amazed that in one breath you can so thoroughly denounce government bailouts and then a moment later advocate that corporations be more tightly integrated with government... are you fucking stupid?
Its also far more complex then "cut taxes and everything will be fixed". Hyperbol works both ways.
OK, so its hyperbole.
Bad teachers should be fired, which is currently hard to do. But good teachers should be paid accordingly. And a measurement of "good" is not any standardized test that I've seen.
We agree on something.
However simply letting the system go bankrupt because we dont want to pay sales taxes on stuff we buy online is silly.
We must do this or the system goes bankrupt! We want simple! We are liberals! We are right!
I would have thought that when you recognized that you were simply using hyperbole (and defensively accused un-named people of opposite hyperbole), that you would stop using hyperbole. I guess not. Can you defend a new tax without using hyperbole? Will you even give it a shot?
Thats why our education system, the most expensive in the world, is so totally fucking awesome!
How can more money for teachers be bad? How can more money for fire departments be bad? Its simply not possible to over-fund something. Everyone should be taxed at the flat rate of 100% on all transactions.. that way everything can get maximum funding!
more spending = better... its so simple! and simple is how we think! Dont bother us with the concept of trade-offs and opportunity costs.. dont bother us with talk about making things more efficient... we want simple! we are liberals! we are right!
This is only true if what they are licensing is confidential technology.
Wrong.
If you allow the other party to go telling competitors about what the deal contains, then you are a big giant-assed fucking moron. Thats why both parties always insist on NDA's.
So you are saying that they had 3 months to end the lawsuits that Google is supposedly opposed to, but didn't anyways.
Too bad you started with false information (that Google isn't litigious), and then tried to defend it with more false information (that Apple litigated first.) Now that you are trying to find some actual truth that separates Google from the rest, its too late.. you've lost your credibility with me.

I don't see how my side having the capability to make "surprise, asymmetric attacks" could be considered a bad thing on its own. Whats the price tag?

RAID isnt a backup, but the grandparent had significant uptime issues (3 days!) even though he had a readily available backup.
The purpose of RAID is to avoid most of the cases where you would have had to restore from a backup, such as a drive failing.

So it looks like AMD offers comparable solutions. Intel probably not.
Logic work *is* integer work, fool.

Obviously its racism... but this is the "good" racism, so pointing out the obvious bias is something only a "bad" racist would do.
Its not perfect yet.

more spending = better
Google gave Motorola patents to HTC.
Given this fact, please explain how Google is not, in the only way that matters, Motorola Mobility. Google is fucking giving Motorola patents away.
If people are violating your public software-patents then tell them which ones they are violating so that they can stop violating them.
Of course. The question on the table is when do you tell them.
Do you:
a) Tell them when they just refused to negotiate licensing.
b) When you get to court seeking damages because they refused to negotiate licensing.
This isnt rocket science.
This is only true if what they are licensing is confidential technology.
Wrong.
If you allow the other party to go telling competitors about what the deal contains, then you are a big giant-assed fucking moron. Thats why both parties always insist on NDA's.
Now stop making things up.
