I have not seen a case with a Data Center where this has EVER been the case.
Essentially, look at it this way:
Everything gets destroyed. You have to buy new ones. Then you have to start all over. It took you 3 days to get operational again, and now you've got to some-how start over from scratch.
Or what they could have done:
Everything gets destroyed. You already bought a spare system just in case, and had it stored off-site. For about a negligable amount, you went through the effort of backing up the data once a month, to either a spare hard drive, or to the old computer your IT admin has in his basement that he never uses. It'll take you 3 days to get operational again, but at least you'll have that data somewhere and you don't have to play catchup.
Or if they wanted to go crazy
Everything gets destroyed. They had a spare system set up with full redundancy in case this kind of disaster. The cost was high when setting it up, but you have essentially no down-time. Ideally, the 3 days you saved will cover the cost of the damaged equipment. Or if the data is particularily sensative, that is the cost you pay to keep it safe.
And there no other oppressive regimes other than communist ones?
No, but pretty much all the communist ones have been oppressive, so one might be correct in assuming all existing communist regimes are oppressive regimes.
And if that is the case, its better to be accurate as opposed to ambiguous - since not all Oppressive regimes are communist, calling a communist regime an oppressive regime when it is a communist regime (which implies oppressive) would be silly.
That's like saying Duke Nukem Forever was never released or installed, and anything said about it is pure speculation. It could have been a game, or it could have been a typing tutor. It could have been Tax-Revenue Software. It could have been a batch file that filled your hard drive with LOLCats. It could have been a script to shutdown your computer.
What I'm saying is: Don't be ridiculous. This "pure speculation" has as much of a concrete idea behind it as one would assume that Portal 2 is going to be a video game.
I have played Eve, and while I made it to the point where I made enough to buy my own time, it made it feel like a job and less like a game. I mean, if I didn't hit the mark that month, than I'd have to buy the time code anyways.
Are you willing to pay at an increase in price upwards of 300%?
Because thats what its going to take to get products made in a country where the hourly minimum wage could buy a motorcycle in a developing nation.
If you look at the entire lifecycle of a product before it reaches your hands, it goes through a lot of people and a lot of time, and a lot of effort goes into it. How is it possible that handheld radio at Radioshack is only $10? The cost of the materials alone should be in excess of that. Then the man hours spent refining the materials, assembling them, testing them, shipping them, and all that, its almost baffling. So who is paying for all that? Usually its the Chinese Labourers working at substandard wages. And all the other people who get abused along the product line.
Story of Stuff is worth a watch, if you haven't seen it yet.
But yeah, thats basically why you don't see anything made in the states, Canada, UK, France, etc etc.
I'd like to have a full 1080p with 4:3 aspect ratio, with each pixel having its own dedicated 32" LCD monitor. They'd be all on the ground and I'd have to use it from my glass helicopter up above, but I'd essentially have the biggest screen there is, at approximately 34560 inches.... Someday...
Apps and Browsing right? I mean, if the page I'm looking for is only a few K when I browse at home, but on my phone without an adblocker its going to be over a few megs, that hardly seems fair to charge me by the amount of data, right?
But if people keep using more and more bandwidth, someone will have to pay for more and more infrastructure to support the ever growing usage.
People keep saying this like its a bad thing. What, I don't want my phone companies or ISP to upgrade their hardware? By encouraging people to use less bandwidth, you stifle growth. By having network speed as something to compare when considering a phone provider, it keeps them trying to beat each other at phone speeds.
1) That is exactly what I implied, and it is not a criticism of Obama at all. It is a criticism of the Nobel Judges.
2) When I watched Mainstream media coverage, all they were saying is that he was awarded it for lowering tensions in the middle east. I also had work that day so I didn't see Obama's reaction on any of the news stations. Not too mention I live in Canada, so I don't get the full range of Obama supporters and Obama haters, we get completely disassociated reports saying: This is what happened. Thats it
3) Yes, exactly. You can learn a lot of things through the internet you wouldn't otherwise know. It is the only medium with as broad an overview on subject and perspective. There are more viewpoints and things discussed on the internet than ever in the history of TV and radio and newspapers combined.
I mean, I felt obligated to stick with WoW since I was paying for a subscription. And I've wanted to get back into an MMO (I've played Eve for a little while) but I've just come to realize that they aren't worth monthly subscriptions to me, I'm too on and off when it comes to games.
However, there aren't many games that have the same social aspect of MMO's but also fun gameplay. I wanted to get into guild war years ago and stop playing WoW because GW was free, but my friends would have none of it. Now (of the 12 or so in our local city clique) 9 of us don't play WoW anymore, and don't want to play WoW anymore, but wish for the good ol' days of dungeon crawling with mountain Dew.
I'll see if I can get them to jump on board with this.
Does anyone know if that includes expansions, like Mines of Moria?
Something I've had a hard time understanding through all this is WHY they thought it was a good idea to record SSIDs and other information while doing a street mapping.
Than you are a fool who doesn't know how these things work and why anyone would do anything.
WTF does that have ANYTHING AT ALL to do with mapping streets?
Essentially, providing street view (the car's original purpose) has nothing to do with mapping streets either. The maps were already there. They've been there for a while. Going around and taking a snapshot every 3 houses doesn't help the map be a map any better. I don't understand why you are having problems understanding that what they were doing has little to nothing to do with the map part of the map.
Street view helps those people who navigate by landmarks. Google Maps helps people who navigate by Compass. SSID recording helps people who navigate by GPS.
Essentially, recording the SSID's and MAC addresses allows them to build in a GPS system that works on the client side to determine where it is more accurately.
Oh, and for the people getting all up in arms because "people are shouting this information freely and anyone can hear it"...that's patently FALSE. There's maybe 1% of the population that has the know-how or the desire to do that
No, its not. There's maybe 99.9% of people who know to stand and shout. I'd say of people who set up home routers, 99% of them also know how to leave it unsecured. Thus, its the same thing. Not having the knowledge of how something works is not an excuse - it is not a defense nor should it be used for an attack. Try the "I didn't know how a gun worked" excuse in court. Ignorance is not bliss. If you bought a home router, you're expected to RTFFM and follow the steps. If you fail to secure your wireless, (because every router now-a-days includes instructions how), that is your own damn fault and it is like shouting in the streets.
I don't know if logging SSID's nearby, and find the mac address of unsecured ones counts as "Packet-sniffing" - because I can do that without any software than the default windows home setup.

The problem is that not all nickels are full nickel anymore, just like not all pennies are made from pure copper.
I know people who go searching for the older coins simply so they can melt them down into ingots worth more than the cash value of the coins.
The newer stuff just isn't worth it though.

Following along?
The county does not have a backup data center, despite warnings that it faced the risk of service disruption without one.
That alone spells disaster. If I had a nickel for everything that could go wrong in a data center, I could buy a new data center.

Good God I'd hate to be the one who has to set THAT up.
We can barely get our projectors to stay level, let alone line it up other screens.
I'd like to have a full 1080p with 4:3 aspect ratio, with each pixel having its own dedicated 32" LCD monitor. They'd be all on the ground and I'd have to use it from my glass helicopter up above, but I'd essentially have the biggest screen there is, at approximately 34560 inches. ... Someday...
You just need to set them up all around you and play with the 360 view mod in Unreal Tournament.
I have a direct line, with red phones on either end.
So that someone somewhere (probably higher up) can work from home.
Probably, anyways. You know how it is.
They are all FBI Agents.
And Kudos for keeping the story buzzing around in our heads by getting arrested.
So then, if the government subsidizes electricity, essentially making it free, but the electric companies decide to charge you for it, you don't mind?
I'm already paying for the content when I buy one of their products, or make a donation.
Web Pages don't make money by rolling over ads, they make them by clicks or purchases with references on them.
So, essentially, I am paying more money any time I visit a site, and that money never sees the content distributors.
I don't see why you aren't indignant about this.
I don't see why charging for bandwidth use would affect competition over network speed.
People will browse less if they don't have unlimitted plans. At least thats the accepted theory anyways.

You have to purchase my 10 DVD Box set on how to read minds through the internet. 11 small payments of 30 dollars + shipping and handling*
*dvd's shipped seperately
Never attribute to nefarious scams that which can be adequately explained by incompetence?
Or something like that anyways

That is so 1.
I didn't criticize Obama. I said what happened. You concurred by reiterating what happened.
Someone needs to calm down.
