Or that the business and product owners under-priced the monthly contract with the client.
And what the heck does your internal network have anything to do with the performance of your product? Separate your general business network from your server network if not for performance or HIPPA, but for the day when one of your developers or unpatched machines do something to DoS your business.
Also, you might want to read up on MTU. Large file transfers might be better served with an MTU larger than 1500.
I had seriously been looking at the Surface line and have evaluated them in person. First, I would like to state how surprised I was at how well the touchscreen interface works. It's not typical for Microsoft to get a technology right on the first try. On the other hand I recommend against the Surface RT in this respect. The Surface RT's touchscreen is sluggish, laggy, and choppy. Also, the keyboard add-on to the Surface RT has a very non-responsive feel to it, but the Surface Pro's keyboard does not have that issue. Second, I was impressed by how well these machines perform (not running any third-party applications) considering how little RAM they have in them. Windows Vista/7 famously chews through multi-gigs of RAM (not counting prefetch cache) and I wouldn't put less than 8Gigs of RAM in a Windows 7 computer. Windows 8 on the Surface Pro uses only about 1Gig of RAM which leaves around 3Gig remaining for apps. Regardless, I am continuously disappointed with hardware manufacturers and their continued pattern of building laptops and tablets with < 8Gig of Memory. Especially with i5/i7 CPUs there is really no excuse since the memory controller is in the processor, so no additional chips are needed. I decided against the Surface Pro due to the paltry 4Gig of RAM. If Microsoft can up that to a preferable 16Gig+ of RAM I would buy one immediately and would buy one at 8Gig depending on the price.
Four star general in the United States Army and head of U.S. National Security Agency discovers after 62 years that there are some humans that can not be trusted. After an intense investigation, it was uncovered that director of the NSA Keith Alexander in fact changed his name from Adam Weber shortly after crawling out of a bomb shelter he was sequestered in to by his father and mother at the tender age of 10. Famous actor Brendan Fraser is well known for portraying Keith Alexander a.k.a. Adam Weber in the lesser known 1999 documentary A Blast from the Past that follows the real life of Keith Alexander, his father, and his mother during their self imposed quarantine and the emergence of Keith Alexander in to a modern and morally questionable society.
“Our goal here isn’t to discourage people from rooting their devices – it’s yours, after all – but to give us a course of action if folks start to abuse the hardware through software modifications”
It's fantastic to see a company not use the act of rooting as a crutch excuse to not warranty something, but instead to void warranty for harm the user ACTUALLY brought against the device outside of the normal operating condition.
Although I'm not denying that Gen. Alexander has not spoken the truth, at the same time some of his "lies" may just come down to his lack of technical knowledge and the sheer vastness of the programs and bureaucracy that have been instituted over the years.
As another poster pointed out, if they have a program where they are recording raw IP packet information, then they are in effect able to read the emails of every person that flows through their system if and when software is written to process this information in that fashion. Perhaps this program's intention was not SPECIFICALLY to read the emails of every person, but it can happen INCIDENTALLY and Gen. Alexander may have not thought of or fully comprehend the capabilities of his own NSA programs. I think Gen. Alexander makes very large sweeping generalizations and poorly informed statements in response to people's concerns because he is answering questions based on what the intent of the programs are rather than what they actually are capable of doing.
I personally am less disturbed by the recording of information and more disturbed by the complete lack of due and chain of command approval processes when anybody from a high official to a simple contractor has access to these systems. As the article surmises about his talk, there are minimal protections to prevent an agent from accessing information and instead the NSA is being reactionary and instituting disciplinary actions AFTER the incident has occurred, been audited, and some process he did not identify has hopefully detected this breach and notified the agent's superiors. That leaves a VERY long period of time for an agent to view confidential information and take action upon it for personal gain well before any disciplinary action occurs. In addition, no disciplinary action can remove that knowledge now gained by the agent and prevent future exposure.
I think it's absolutely awesome that Mozilla is helping websites to target me to only my stated interests. This will ensure that I can never be exposed to any other thoughts or ideas outside of my narrow viewpoints and will make sure that I never develop any new interests.
To be perfectly honest, you as a developer probably shouldn't be defining timelines. That's what management is for. If management is failing at establishing stable timelines, call them out. It is their job to redefine the release process when it is needed, not you.
And don't keep the quitting option off the table. Typically the only time I've seen management change in a majorly positive fashion is when they have to deal with a mass exodus of developers.
In the last few years, every publicly known and patched bug makes almost no impact on us. They aren't scratching the surface.'
For some reason I doubt that private government workers, let alone government contractors, have discovered (let alone classified and organized) more bugs than the armies of security researchers out there to qualify as "barely scratching the surface". More likely the government is paying private security researchers for bugs and the promise of non-disclosure. Even then with how altruistic many researchers are, it's likely that kind of exchange would be exposed.
Make sure that they understand that they are going to have to already prove themselves as being able to design and code a completely working and feature complete game from engine to art before they can be accepted in to the program, attend class and study under supervision for at least 80 hours per week, live strictly off of one item from the dollar menu per meal, give them a proper browbeating every once in a while, constantly remind them they are easily replaceable with other students just itching to get in to the program, and then never let them complete a project by tossing them on to other loser projects. But it's all okay because the student breakroom looks like a teenage gamer's wet dream.
Although the tide has finally turned more recently since 9/11, check out these surveys and you might change your opinion that "no one" wants to be spied on.
Slashdot opinion poster Dishwasha writes 'If I could, I would repeal Robert J. Samuelson. He is a great writer of the periodicals, but he is not — as most people imagine — a symbol of sanity. Just the opposite. We would be better off without him.' It is his belief that the dangers of Robert J. Samuelson's writing outweigh its benefits.
That's really comforting to know as any alien species that doesn't know how to break the light barrier who is hell-bent on the conquest of earth would have to really, really, really, REALLY, REALLY want to get our home planet REALLY bad.
His parents have launched a change.org petition to convince the authorities to release their son.
Perhaps his parents should understand the difference between local, state, and federal governmental jurisdictions and spend their time more wisely if they want their son released.
It's hard to believe an article like this gets posted without somebody mentioning AMSAT. They've been building satellites since the 60's on a much larger scale. Help support the latest AMSAT model called the FOX-1.
Openstack doesn't control lower virtualization layers like KVM? Openstack isn't a virtualization management tool? You might want to re-think those distinctions.

That's what's great about MediaGoblin being a GNU project. People have the freedom to never use it.
You're such a joker.
How long can such a culture continue before it dries up, and the whole tech-investment cycle begins anew?
As long as people with money keep getting sucked in by it
Has NASA run the footage by Bruce Willis yet?
I thought Linux added on networking to the OS a LONG time ago.

Yes, a better question is, is that still the benchmark that Linus uses for determining success? Something tells me....no.

This quote reminds me of the old adage, If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?. Just because nobody is reading the emails doesn't mean it isn't being recorded and can't be read at a later date. Gotta love the subtle way Gen. Alexander phrases things.
But it was just way too confusing.
Great! Now I will only need 27 optical discs to backup my data.
