As much as I disagree with ICC being used as it is, this is one of those cases that clearly leaves the state, as it is simply impossible to claim that an ISP operates only within a state, as it is a communications system explicitly with the world.
Comparing nerve weapons and nuclear weapons is apples and oranges for specificity. Nerve weapons target the population specifically, nuclear weapons are really big bombs, mostly good for decimation, but not killing the population, sure they do it well enough, but the majority of the damage is structural, and the radiation is mostly an unwanted side effect, not a directly desired effect except to make a statement.
With VX you can walk in and plant your flag in the middle of a still functional manufacturing district or city, with nuclear weapons, sure you burned the hell out of the populace that survived, but the power is in the big ruin you've just turned the local 5-50 mile radius into and you just cant wait to see their reactions when their city is a crater.
It costs them jobs the same way minimum wage, hours regulations, vacation time, health insurance, OSHA, and all of the other restrictions on whatever the hell you want to do business do. Just because its true doesn't mean its the right answer.
The solution to revolution is creating a straw man early on before the process really takes hold, then you can control the revolution, even have them believing that you stand for their interests while they continue to vote against their own benefit while fervently attacking any real opposition. There are examples of this throughout history, and even not so historically. I am not going to Godwin my argument, but the basis lies in example there, and several other prominent places.
In all fairness, Israel isn't exactly a needed ally. To be honest, their even existence depends a lot on our current defense pact. If the US were to revoke its protection of Israel, they may not fall tomorrow as they are fairly adept at defending themselves from attacking neighbors, but the situation would get significantly more precarious for the nation as a whole, as they don't exactly have many neighboring friends, and the actual hostile neighbors have pretty good relations with the other superpower at the moment due to both natural resources, and antagonizing the US. As well as a complete disregard for both Israeli lives, and their own shock troops' lives, if anything, it would help focus any discontent outside of their own country, and trim some of the glut of angry young males therein.
That being said, Israeli interest is fairly strong in this country from a power perspective, as well as lobbying forces, so I don't expect much of a true hardball stance from any administration which doesn't have the solidity of power stemming from the impassioned lower to middle class white voting base which which to offset the desires that would be pro Israel, and the Republicans at the moment have no real reason to do so either, as they have negative interests in the other side of the Israeli coin, their antagonists.
I'm not looking for a limited use pool of cache only disks so much as hierarchical storage management at the block level.
For example you could have a set of 7.2k sata drives, a set of 15k SAS drives, a set of FC drives, and a set of SSDs. Each group would be a tier, which all together would act as a storage pool (each tier probably raided together using MD, as there is no hybrid md/lvm at the moment to sub-devide them gracefully at the lv level instead of pv level), with writes all going to the highest speed tier allowed for the volume, and blocks being moved around constantly based on access stats (demoted / promoted to different tiers).
If it were a block device wrapper along the lines of md, I'd be interested.
Have a project at the moment where I'd *love* to be able to specify tiers of storage (say md volumes), and have writes go to the highest priority, and blocks trickle down to the lowest based on usage.
I finally just wrote my own system for tracking all the connections in the datacenter at my last job, unfotunately that former boss did not wish to OSS it, nor sell the product to outsiders. I wish I had it at my current job.
That being said, it is actually suprisingly simple to write your own system, the only difficult part at all is creating the different templates for all the different objects you use, other than that, its a very simple database of objects, and connections.
Translation: we looked at plants, and decided that trying to use some kind of bio lattice with catalizers on top to utilize the energy of sunlight to convert something common to something useful seemed like a good idea.
Yeah, and being online, I could conceivably be the receiver of said fool's money! Why should we only allow well funded brick and mortar monopolies to do this?
Except they don't, because the vast majority of the systems are based on the concept of turbulent flow of a fluid (in this case air generally), which is for all practical purposes due to the number of variable points of deflection impossible to model for any time period signifigant enough to allow for predictions of these machines as they are designed to long pass this point before the balls would lock in position.
Heck trying to model turbulent flow on a fixed path is hard enough, trying to model turbulent flow through a mass of shifting floating deflectors is downright masochistic.
Thats only because they can charge that because they're pretending its some completely new kind of tv LED instead of just LCD which no one else has. There is no cost basis to justify it. Its similar to adding a new marketing slogan to a cereal "Now with no Asbestos". For example: http://xkcd.com/641/
Yeah, coal designs from the 1800s look horrible too, as do cars from the 1940s. We should totally not use far outdated designs due to the known issues about them.
You explained it exactly, I'm not going to bother with people that don't at least make the effort to include any form of reality in their positions, but will spend the effort to have meaningful discussions with people who show some spark of inteligence. The concept is similar to avoiding any News Corp establishments for meaningful information, or discussion.
This is kind of a grey area not covered by Net Neutrality. It's not that the ISP is blocking the access, but the content provider is only selling to one customer, which is the ISP itself. It is completely legal for the foreseeable future for a content provider to choose whom their customers are. Net Neutrality is more about keeping third parties from interfering in that decision.

It didn't work so well for the USSR.

Sort of like a specialized CoW.

It does make it more scalable though =)

And Iraq... ?
Fewer wise administrators realize they dont really work unless you mount the drive from a different system that is trusted.
How do you tell if you have one *with* a scanner? Root kits by definition do not show up, thats why they are called root kits.
Thank you so much, this is now my email signature.

Which... *gasp* averages out when you consider a group of people. Thats the point.
Absolutely correct. Thanks for playing. If you don't believe that, go try and find as a learning experience how Shakespeare made money, or Mozart.
I wish I had mod points, I don't usually give funny's, but the last line made it. Reminded me of The Last Crusade's "He choose poorly."
