I should point out that most of Australia has very low humidity for most of the year.
That statement is misleading to the point where it could be considered a lie. The majority of the Australia continent may be quite dry, the parts where everyone lives, ie on the coast, is very humid. Right now I'm sitting on my couch at 8pm sweating like a pig. The humidity in Sydney and most of the Eastern seaboard in Jan-Feb is insane.
Just because it's underwater doesn't mean it'll have zero security. Using your logic, there's nothing stopping you from doing the same to any land based power station of any type. Have your remote controlled truck full of explosives follow the power lines to the nearest power station and blow it up.
There are huge cost savings with not having to buy real estate, deal with local govt, residents, hippies etc. All the uncontrollable costs which add the most to power plant costs. A fully portable unit would have fixed costs every time, and can be built in volume. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually works out cheaper overall once all social/political costs that are normally associated with a regular power plant are factored in
Boo hoo. More competitive business squashes less competitive smaller business. News at 11.
Apple is now doing the same thing and good for them. Marsellus Wallace got it wrong. It isn't pride that's fucking with you, it's cognitive dissonance.
Define "battle". A major VC tactic was to inflict damage then disappear, not a tactic that fits in within the US's WW2 definition of a "Battle". And regardless of reason, the Vietnamese won the war. Whether of men, money, firepower or will, they won and the US lost.
Fighting stupid wars are a waste. I'm all for invading foreign countries to exercise our muscle, but let's choose wars we can win for once. FFS how many times can we fuck these things up?
The US Army is designed to crush, to destroy, to annihilate the enemy - and the US Army is possibly the best army in the world at this.
I reckon the Vietnamese might say different. The US military is designed to win WW2. Unfortunately for them, the chances of that happening again are precisely nil. The hardware maybe the best on the planet, but the tactics, strategy and planning leave an awful lot to be desired.
I've worked with most of the major AV brands over the years Norton, McAfee, TM, Sophos etc and they're all a much of a muchness. The features are generally the same and they all offer the same level of protection. The comment about having to manually install is just plain wrong. I managed a network using TM Officescan about the same time and it had auto-deploy tools (as did the other brands) at that time. All the AV brands also had auto update at that stage too so you can't use the excuse that it was an older version.
Sounds like your issues were probably more poor implementation, rather than the fault of any application.
You've already missed your chance. When your boss (or anyone) asks you something ridiculous you need to laugh very loudly in his face immediately. The effect is all in the timing.
A delay in your response makes him think that there is some possibility of making the idea work.
We need some perspective for the death toll. ie what is the total death rate change during these disasters?
ie On any normal day, how many people have die from heart disease, succumb to cancer, die in traffic accidents etc? If 10 people in the area die on average per day from other causes, then on disaster day, 10 people die but are attributed to the disaster, then there is no net loss of life. I have no idea if it's higher lower or the same, but I think it's a relevant question. And I suspect that sometimes these numbers get tweaked to boost newsworthiness and up the income for charitycorp. 10 deaths is bad news, but that sounds like a fairly normal rate for a population area of over a million people, natural disaster or not.
Or better don't ever money at all.
Something in me just doesn't sit right with the commercialisation of charity these days.
By all means donate time, goods, or services, but money? There is something inherently evil about that entire concept that I can't quite grasp yet, but I know it just feels wrong. It's as if you are outsourcing your guilt for a price.
The accuracy, efficiency, and robustness of the optical mouse is already the perfect HID. Why do people persist with the folly of trying to improve on this perfection?
Have you actually sat down and tried to use them as they're meant to be used?
I use my PC how I want to use it, not how Steve B wants me to.
Win7 won't let me do that and somehow that is my fault? You have a strange idea of customer service in your world.
The difference with stealth is that unlike WW2 tanks, a stealth fighter can be vastly outnumbered and still win. I recall reading about the F22 getting 30:1 kill ratios against F15 and F16's in war games.
One flaw in your logic. If manufacturing moves from China to India or Brazil, then China won't need the West to buy anything. It means that they've achieved a sufficiently large economy that a large chunk of their country is now middle class, and that their own market, and the burgeoning Indian and Brazilian markets will be larger than the declining North America and Europe combined.
The confrontation will come, it's just that the Chinese planning lasts longer than a 4 year election cycle.
I have a mixed thin/fat environment and have had switch failure so can speak from experience. Switch goes offline, Fat clients can still read, write and sort email (cached Outlook), can continue working on any Office docs they had open, and compose new ones, even webpages they had open they can still read.
Thin Clients have nothing. Completely offline and unproductive.

The problem seems to stem from the Facebook use of the word 'friend'. If they called it 'acquaintance', or 'connection' there probably wouldn't be such a big deal. But using the word 'friend' seems to strike a nerve with so many people, I wonder why that is? I've never heard anyone give anyone stick for having lots of Linked-in 'friends'.

We got these things called cables. They are pretty good at getting electricity where ever you need it.
Because the wind doesn't blow all the time.

What about this?
The US Army is designed to crush, to destroy, to annihilate the enemy - and the US Army is possibly the best army in the world at this.

Look at it purely from an accounting standpoint
That's what wrong with this country. Less accountants and lawyers would be a good fucking start.
I don't think that India, is quite oppressive enough to subject their subjects to that kind of pollution
You mean like the worst industrial disaster in the world?

Every tried youtube, or any sort of multimedia over VNC/RDP/ICA/Whatever? Trust me ,it sucks.

Wow! you can't make that stuff up...
