So the assumed front runner for the Democrats isn't credible when speaking about foreign policy? Not saying she's the best for the job, and you may not agree with her policy ideas, but her being a First Lady, a Senator, and a Secretary of State, you have to give her some foreign policy chops. Much more than any state governor may have.
I will give Jeb some chops just for hanging with dad and W, but not much.
Speaking of points of failure. I was helping out at a site that our corporate overlords purchased (makes things for airliners) that had an old SGI server that had one HD in it that is the boot device. They know nothing about SGI nor how to back it up, they don't have support for it. They say this is mission critical.
Fuck me running.
I think I'll have to build up a BSD box and dig through the garage for an old Adaptec SCSI card, maybe I can dd it, I hope.
I live on Tulalip Bay and work in downtown Everett a few blocks from the transit center. It would still take me about an hour and 45 minutes to bus to work. I can drive it in 15 minutes, okay, 20 with getting coffee. Plus I would have to deal with about a half mile of walking in the rain many days. I also need my car to visit several other sites in the area for my work.
For me, mass transit is not going to happen.
Okay, build me a monorail down SR 529 and I'll think about it:)
I'm a few years south of 57 but I got lucky in my job, I get to admin the phone system. The first thing I did was disable my extension's VM. If it's that urgent, call my cell, if not send an email or put in a ticket.
I work for an aerospace cabin integrator and we're always looking for good TechPubs people. My company offers fully paid classes within our field. The great thing is that the TechPubs folks work hand in hand with the engineers. You can talk with them and figure what type of engineering work you want to do, stress, electrical, structures, flam, systems, furniture... and we just touch the inside of an airliner.
Off-topic side note about WalMart. I've done data cable work at more than a few and found that they do one really neat trick when they build: For their main electrical room they haul in a 40' container (before the walls are up) and set it in the back of the store. All the electrical mains come in there through a wall. All the main breakers and the telco demarcation point is in there so if they catch fire the rest of the store has a chance. Off-topic but kind of cool if you're into that thing, which I am.
Good solution. I do like my pure 480GB SSD in my work laptop for the battery savings. I get 6 hours out of an i5 laptop now. It's an HP Elitebook 840 if you're interested. For pure storage I have a 2TB USB3 drive that holds things like music, software packages and all the found Doctor Who episodes, just in case, ya know.
Blame ASCII. There is no standard (7-bit) ASCII symbol for cents. Back in my day we use to just type a c and then backspace and type a / to make the US cents symbol. Of course, back then most typewriters didn't have a numeral 1 and we just used a lower case L for that.
The lack of cent and degree symbols always bothered me when it comes to the ASCII set. Before all you internationalists get upset about including a US centric symbol, remember that the A in ASCII stands for American.
Now why the author of the article decided to use a useless trailing zero...
That being said it should be mentioned that a variant of TFTP (35years old) is the standard for Loading SW onto parts in Planes.
I've had to buy up old Win95 Toughbooks for our engineers so they can load the cabin lighting into a Boeing 747. There's a place in the plane that takes a 3.5" floppy with the settings. The only program that writes that disk needs to run on Win98 or below and won't work with a USB floppy. Just bought three more that came out of cop cars in Iowa.

Or let it die, they deserve it.
The Ball Bearing plant was shut down a few years ago, the NRO said so. That's why all those huge dishes are still there and move from time to time.

I'll be burning my last battery card in protest.
Ah, the first laptop, the Trash-100.

I love my SnoPUD.org. Will not live in a non-PUD power area again.
Sorry about the typos in my comment above, it won't happne agian.
We've all said that.
Did that inclusive OR gate come in TTL or CMOS?
Remember that Bergoglio worked as a bar bouncer in his younger days. I think he may know what he's talking about on this subject.
Yeah, Glory Road would be my choice. Hell, Clooney would be good as Old Scar.
David Brin's Existence is another very interesting take on the subject.

If your're playing anything under 15 IPS then it's going to be muddy.
I've never understood this one, a blockbuster is a great movie while a bomb is a bad one. But a blockbuster is a bomb. WTF?

Now I feel old, I don't even know what that is.
How the hell do you think the Scotts and Welsh feel about you being lumped it with you!
