though your toilet may continue to work without DNS being there, the company that keeps your water flowing would likely slow to a crawl if they were unable to e-mail/call the partners they do business with.
Voip servers, when calling other voip servers, will make DNS lookups to get IP's to establish such calls, though anything that's done over the PSTN just goes through the phone companies version of DNS, the CO.
E-mail would fall apart inside the TTL of the cache entries. web browsing would quickly deteriorate, most debit machines that I've installed are hand coded with Static IP's, though most ABM's were DNS names. (because the service cost for ABM's is much higher than just leading the business owner/tech through changing IP's on a terminal over the phone)
However, as the DNS system follows the CO ideology, the ISP's all along the way would have the simple ability to just switch away from the CO stored root zone, and only provide certain names resolvability. this would allow ISP's the ability to offer "services like Google! something not all providers are able to say!" as a promo, attracting people that don't know better.
in my city, the vast majority of DNS names for city locations/devices are internal names anyways. none of them are accessible via the root zone. to systems like these the aforementioned changes would make no difference in the world.
Pre-defined by what? assuming all the instrumentation works correctly every time, and that the systems that provide those instruments data are correct every time, we shouldn't have a problem.
If you really want to put your money where your mouth is - go, setup a reserve somewhere, grow your own food, make your own textiles/clothing, and abscond modern conveniences like electricity and petroleum.
Well, in the not-too-distant future, people really need to understand that unless you're prepared to do exactly that, that you're not going to make it very long.
(aside, we don't make much of our own clothing, though we don't wear a whole lot either. most of the textiles we make are hand spun wool, so it's mostly just bedding and winter gear.)
I guess I must be the exception to that rule: I intentionally do this in Canada as often as I can. it's only my desire to help others that keeps getting me back into the cities and away from the farm. people ask me for help, I try to do what I can from the farm, then end up saying to hell with it, and try to become a member of society again.
but every few years I get sick and tired of putting up with all the political bullshit people put them selves through every freaking day, and quit my job and go back. it's the only way to live, doing it all yourself.
we import nothing, we give to other self sufficient farms when their land doesn't do well, and we get it back when ours doesn't do so well. we all survive, and best of all, we're perfectly happy.
in fifty+ years of drilling and extraction do you know how many of them have ever failed?
one. inclusive of this event.
designing a fail-back plan for a BOP failure is like designing a plan for what to do if North America suddenly sank into the ocean. though important to think about, no amount of prep is ever going to make it a smooth operation.
An IT director should remain comfortable covering any job position under himself, IMHO.
the day you try hiring a kid for his wonderful fiber terms and the kid stops showing up half way through a big rewire, without experience in the field you have a problem. when deploying a nation wide network covering the country on links with SA's longer than a roll of toilet paper, the IT director better damn well be comfortable working at the low level to troubleshoot and service that network.
putting a person in charge of IT for a company should NOT be a simple "tell these people what to do" it should be a position with delegation responsibilities. if the director doesn't keep up with the technologies he sells, how is he ever supposed to know how any of it works?
I make a guess and assume that any IT department you've ever had didn't have an R&D dept? nobody can progress forward if they only think they know how things work.
yeah, because all wow players are unemployed bums that sit at home./sarcasm
I already publicly have my main on my/. account, and my boss get's a good laugh out of what I do in my spare time. never ONCE has it or should it ever affect your work.
in most walmart like stores in small town's, the security it up to the local manager depending on need. as most stores only see a few hundred people a day, they often pass on video security.
just because it's hard to get something in a store in DETROIT, doesn't mean that you can't drive an hour to JACKSON and get the same product for the same price, without somebody even so much as coughing at you, let alone MIND if you clear out the rack of 12+ identical mobile phones.
they were not required to do so by law. A court would have likely thrown out such a request anyways.
just because a company knows that something like this information will help an investigator, doesn't mean that the legal system provides a system for this.
personally, I'd be perfectly fine if anybody could use the in game system to find a photo of me, a quick BIO, my address, my real name(which FINALLY got added) my play history, even a list of all the characters on my account. the more information we share, the better. hopefully someday people will realize that it's the people keeping secrets that are wrong.
because hiding your life away from your friends and loved ones and the public at large makes you happy?
there's nothing wrong with that, but don't expect for a second that in today's day and age that everyone you know will share the same ideals.
I for one have no issue with people wanting to know anything about me. (and don't get me started on identity fraud. three people have tried already, two of them gave up finding that I had nothing secret of interest to them, and one became a close friend after opening up her life.)
Thank you for admitting to that, that's one of the most insightful comments here.
many of us never really got to know the people in our youth due to many reasons, though I for one am extremely easy to get along with, I had NO friends as a child (mostly due to religious differences, it's funny how you get outed for not being a bible thumping kid in a predominantly Cristian neighborhood)
though in recent years, I've "reconnected" with people via FB after they begin the conversation with a stupid "Hey, we went to grade one together!" they often turn out to be nice people. (most of the time.:P)
as a world of warcraft player (several times in the history of the game) there was a well known player that went by "Tyrannt". great guy, little bit abrasive, but his point was always: Don't Be an Asshole.
people hated him for being straightforward about it, they resented that he KNEW what he wanted, they still to this day bitch and scream about how "terrible" he was, and yet every single one of them (hopefully) knows that he just played the game to have fun, LIKE WE ALL DO. (players that is, I don't suggest people get sucked into a game, but rather that people admit to what they want and be straightforward about it.)
sure, if you look back far enough into the past, lot's of incorrect "factual" information is "true".
just because somebody used to interpret something one way doesn't mean they always will.
to me, the line "to have and to hold" is STILL true if you make certain arrangements ahead of time with your partner. they key to anything is communication, as long as you're both comfortable with what you're doing, there's no discomfort,
and if you're both not comfortable, why the fuck are you getting married!?
strangly here in canada, there's a LOT of swing if one partner has "been unfaithful to the other". most divorces here require 12 months of living quarters separation, unless one partner sleeps with somebody else, then the other partner can proceed with divorce filings themselves and get a larger part of the settlement in a matter of weeks.
and if you have kids in these circumstances, the "non-cheating" partner get's their way with them. without so much as a question.
it's fucking sad that people would EVER think this was right.
That's one of the most human posting's I've read in a while.
similar stories have happened to close friends of mine, and every single time I defend their actions, because I know how hard a decision like that can be, yet how required it can be to make.
Open relationships: the wonderful understanding that sex != love.
it blows my mind when I meet people that don't get the concept. fortunately most people understand and grow to like the idea more and more as they exist.
at least that's been the case for me my whole life.
you assume that every person there chooses to be there?
if I disagree with a law in canada, there's nothing I can do about it. I don't have the money to go move anywhere, and as a white dude from a peaceful country, nobody will take me as a refugee.
even if the grass is greener on the other side, that doesn't mean everybody can go there.

except errors occur. it's a fact of life.
but generally the person was trained to know that the lives of others, (including their own) is at stake.
just because SOME people don't value their lives, doesn't mean most don't!

I'd have to agree. it's hard to make a recommendation on what you should look at until we know what it is you want to accomplish?
if you're unhappy with your database, what about it are you unhappy with?

Finally, a company that I have a little faith in might FINALLY get the travel industry sorted out.

Really?! honestly, it's comments like this that destroy people's faith in the modern world.
NOTHING justify's violence. NOTHING. EVER. PERIOD.

The US laws hardly qualify as modern anyway.
