What the hell - now we get the Sun (as in the company that began as Stanford University Network) logo on stories about Sol? That's even worse than the DEC logo on stories about "digital" things. It isn't even that long ago that Sun was an independent company - surely the editors have memories longer than a decade?
Same's true in Australia in theory, but enforcement is lax. There are various ways to side-step inspections or make them ineffective anyway. If you've got contacts in the police force, you can get advance notice of when an inspection is going to happen and temporarily move your sex workers who are on the wrong kind of visa off the premises. The ones who actually have permission to work in Australia but aren't being paid properly or are being forced to work excessive hours can be coerced into giving convenient answers if interviewed using various carrot/stick approaches.
Enforcement is pretty lax in Europe as well. It's an open secret that organised criminal groups move women from Eastern Europe and Russia through the German FKK clubs and the Amsterdam glass houses. Probably a lot of corruption and lack of will to take enforcement seriously.
I can't comment on child porn or organised hits, but I actually do know something about the sex industry in Australia in particular, which should be relevant given you're a wombat. Ironically, the sex slavery for the most parts is happening in licensed brothels. The unlicensed brothels or "massage parlours" are mostly students trying to save some money in the face of the ludicrous cost of living, or women funding an extended holiday. They don't want to attract any unnecessary attention. However there are plenty of cases of licensed brothels keeping women locked up, forcing them to work over sixteen hours at a time, bringing them in under false pretenses and then telling them they have to pay off a debt, etc. And the dark web? It's less than a rounding error. If you want to actually improve conditions for sex workers, get something done about the licensed brothels. But it's probably tied up with corruption in the ranks of the people responsible for enforcement, so good luck.
I actually did pay for Garmin Navigon, but now that's been shut down. It's hard to compete with "free" products that make money with advertising, so choices are becoming more limited. It's even happening to Windows - ads in Solitaire, Mail, and Calendar. But I actually am taking your advice and not using Google Maps already, hence not realising they'd re-added offline maps but require you to sign in for it. I rooted my S3 so I could downgrade to the old Google Maps that wasn't as irritating, but I can't be arsed doing that any more. I just disable most of the Google applications.
Oh I see - it's changed again. Trouble is you have to sign in to use any of those features now. I never sign in to Google - their tracking is bad enough without signing in so they can tie everything together. I don't let Google applications access location, either.
I tried using it and it didn't even work. I keep my local e-mail in a Linux VM and serve it with dovecot to the e-mail apps on the host Windows system. MS Mail didn't show my mail, or even a list of folders for it. No error messages, I had the correct login details. Fuck that. MS' included apps are getting worse all the time. Ads in Solitaire, Minesweeper performs like shit, Paint is now useless, and Mail doesn't even work. It does third-party application developers a favour, but it sucks that as a user you can't even get started with what's included out-of-the-box.
I know the point you're trying to make, but you're exaggerating. Win95 was far less stable than WinNT at the time, and you wouldn't dream of trying to keep it up for days or weeks.
The offline caching has been useless for years now. The old Google Maps for Android back around when the Galaxy S3 was released (Ice Cream Sandwich?) let you select areas to cache offline. You could then update them later, view them, or delete them later. You knew exactly what you had stored locally, and you wouldn't end up with a nasty surprise later. I could store Hong Kong Island and Kowloon/TST locally before going on a trip to Hong Kong and then not worry about paying for roaming data or hunting WiFi to use maps. The update that removed the labs features changed it so you could no longer manage your locally stored maps. You can tell it to store an area locally, but you can't see what it's actually stored, or control when it deletes data. You can't guarantee that a map of a particular area will be available offline if you need it. It's effectively useless.
Depends on what kind of external drive though. If it's attached with SAS, Fibre Channel, iSCSI over 40GbE, or a number of other technologies, it will outperform most people's internal disks.
The protection MCU on the console mainboard would hold the CPU in reset if it couldn't conduct the "magic handshake" with the corresponding MCU in the cartridge. If you disconnected the line from the protection MCU output to the CPU's reset input, it would defeat the protection for the most part.
You can still ensure that the data doesn't leave the premises in that case - rip the Flash out before sending it in for repair and you know they can't get the data with some kind of back door. You can't read the data out yourself, but you had backups of the important stuff anyway, right?
Previous story was that people were planning it. This one says they followed through. Not a dupe - they could've not made good on their threats, which also would've been a story.
Our system of justice was specifically designed to move slowly to reduce the chances of mistakes and failures.
What? The US legal system (I have a hard time calling it a "justice system") allows plea bargains, which favours getting a quick conviction. Add to that direct election of prosecutors and judges, and the candidates will run on "tough on crime" platforms, further biasing it towards conviction rate over justice.
My experience with them is a few years old, and it's from the finance industry, so not directly related to using them for cloud services. SuperMicro sells on price and density. SuperMicro have products that are two complete, fully independent servers in a 1U rack enclosure. They're also very cheap. Now to achieve this, something's got to give, so there are some compromises.
SuperMicro servers aren't as feature-rich as something you'll get from Dell or HP. For example the out-of-band management isn't as sophisticated, the storage controllers aren't as configurable, and you don't have as many options for NIC modules. The build quality isn't spectacular either - they're definitely not as physically robust or convenient to work on as a Dell PowerEdge.
In terms of performance, they weren't really competitive with Dell or IBM for single-CPU throughput or wire-to-wire latency. Whether this is important or not depends heavily on your application. If you're doing something like online transaction processing where latency isn't critical, you might get better overall performance by going with SuperMicro and making the most of the higher density and lower price. But that's not going to help you if your application depends on good wire-to-wire latency.
Failure rates weren't much worse than HP really. After-sales support from SuperMicro isn't great, but remember you're paying a lot less. If you're prepared to do more of your service/support in-house rather than dealing with the manufacturer or a value-added reseller, SuperMicro might be better value.
TL;DR SuperMicro's offerings aren't as good in terms of performance, build-quality and vendor support, but they try to make up for it with low cost and high density. Depending on your application, it may be a win.
The topic kind of complex though. Strictly speaking, Scandinavia is the "three crowns" - Denmark, Norway and Sweden - all of which speak northern Germanic languages. Finland isn't one of the three crowns, and speaks a Uralic language, putting it closer to Latvia and Estonia. However, Finland was a Swedish territory before the Russian empire "liberated" it. So historically, Finland was part of Scandinavia. Should Finland get grandfathered in and still be counted as part of Scandinavia, or has it fully extricated itself?
My 2014 Xeon has a lot more lanes than that, and they're PCIe 3rd-generation. The chipset splits some up into PCIe 2nd-generation slots though. I currently have two Quadros in 16x 3rd-gen slots, a 2x40Gbps Ethernet NIC in an 8x 3rd-gen slot, and a SAS controller in a 4x 2nd-gen slot. The SAS controller could use an 8x 3rd-gen slot but I don't have one spare.
Can't use PCI-e 40G/100G NICs. Thunderbolt doesn't provide enough lanes to support them in an external card cage either. You can technically add a SAS controller in an external card cage, but once again lack of PCI-e lanes gets you and the performance sucks. You can't use 30-bit displays, although I think that's more an OS limitation.
You previously claimed your wife bought you the RealDoll when she was going away on a business trip, and you really didn't think you'd need it. Have you warmed up to the doll now, to the point that it helps you avoid depression? Is your wife away frequently enough now that she's not providing the companionship you need, and you're falling back on the doll as a substitute? Are you feeling distant from your wife and falling back on the doll? Does this have something to do with your daughter moving out? Curious minds want to know? (Disclosure: I have depression, and have lived away from my wife/kids for extended periods for work, but I don't have a RealDoll or similar.)

Except for all these other languages. Did you learn that "fact" from the slashdot story a while back? You shouldn't believe everything you read on this website.

Please explain how a hosts file protects against speculative execution vulnerabilities.

CentOS was acquired by Red Hat a while ago. IBM owns all three (RHEL, Fedora and CentOS) now.

They came after Bill Cosby (black), Kevin Spacey (gay), and John "Cap'n Crunch" Draper (gay). They're all men, but not all white and straight.
