All of the raid type stuff sounds like a data recovery disaster if the machine itself is fried, the last computer I used had a fast boot media/browsing option that was similar to 5. I can't imagine that 3 is performant enough, and that would increase costs for dubious benefit (TPM will be required as soon as it's been available for a while, the fact that it's an add on won't help much).
Yes, but the ones most likely to disapprove are likely voting for Obama anyway (I doubt the isolationist libertarian types are voting for either candidate).
Currently, the tampering in other countries branch of politics is a centrist republican plank.
Yes, the user the person does obviously, but that does not necessarily imply that the user the account do.
I think the risk is that the user account essentially has physical access to the virtual machine. I've read many a post here recommending all banking be done from a virtual machine that only goes to a bank's website. This malware demonstrates why that's poor advice by taking advantage of software's "physical" access to a machine
I think KDE is trying to do that with their activities, which is:
a set of widgets (I usually have a project folder, a desktop folder (shared between most activities), and downloads). and then a set up applications, and placements (and open files maybe even, but if so, only with KDE apps).
Now that it's been working decent for a couple years, it's really starting to get nice, this is obviously not automated, but it definitely is nice to be able to isolate what y desktop contains based on what I'm doing, and have the right windows popping up when I do it. I keep one activity for fucking about, so that I am consciously leaving my "work space" to do it, which helps me not fuck about as much (yes, I understand a normal person would not need to add false barriers to this, but oh well).
At least on my HTC One S I have the option to "disable" any baked in apps. Still a nuissance. I can't tell how I feel about sense either. In principal I like it a lot, their improvements are great, but they come at a cost. I can't consitently share with some of the built-in apps (can't send a contact as an android contact to other apps, my gallery app is slightly less integrated with picassa, and I can't sent images from certain apps to messenger). All of the sense apps are better (IMO) than the stock apps, but they are clearly slightly non-standard in a slightly breaking way.
I don't see what HTC has to lose by giving the option to go stock apps, but apparently they feel there's something. At least they include stock gmail (though wanted me to use their mail app in the initial setup).
The jurors really don't have much power to make it longer, and the judge already lets most people with jobs off the hook (unless it's a large corporation or the government).
The type of people motivated by minimum wage are not going to be good jurors, we want the ones motivated by duty (most juries have enough of them).
I'm a trial consultant, so I've seen a lot of juries deliberate (a dozen or so, mostly drug related MDL, but some patent things). I've seen them deliberate for 2 and a half days, with one juror missing a Monday from a vacation because of it, and this by choice, when they had the option to not agree at this point. The previous 2 days they stayed till 8 o'clock, carpools were arranged for the jurors that did not have cars.
Say what you want about people, juries tend to work, for 2 reasons:
1) people have good bullshit detectors, in a case like this it's pretty much lay in boring evidence, have opposing experts say what it means, the one with more integrity is generally believed (and this is generally the case). 2) when you take weeks of peoples time away for nothing, they become very invested in doing it right. I'm sure the typical day long criminal case this is not how it works, but when someone has had to sit and listen for weeks with the only purpose of coming to a correct decision, they tend to do it.
I am yet to see a cut and dry case go the wrong way, and only about 10% go the way against what I thought was the correct answer based on the case provided. I find that judges being (IMO) wrong on matters of law (IANAL, though most laws are pretty much common sense, as are the prior rulings) a bigger issue.
No, I'm saying that the situation is not particularly reversible, I did actually suggest the better way to have done it would be to totally subsidize the pipe, and then lease it out fractionally. Of course then one is at the mercy of the speed of government upgrades, which for a while were slower than private (but now the reverse is true).
Through the 90's deregulation kept the US at the head of telecommunication, it wasn't until the 00's that things started to flip.
It's not even the pipes that are not treated as a utility, but even the damned utility poles are overly controlled to the benefit of the ISPs (which is why only companies with existing access to the poles are even thinking of becoming ISPs (power, phone, cable).
I think the next best thing to tube-neutrality (as in the physical tubes), is net neutrality, which will at least prevent the ISPs from offering a walled garden at high-speed, and a higher latency, lower speed internet.
I'm sure if we had many sets of wires run, competition would magically make the extra capital outlay irrelevant and prices would drop.
There's a reason ftth isn't happening in the USA in any meaningful way (with the companies that started doing it slowing/halting plans). Certain types of infastructure benefit from government regulation, and a sane government would run pipes and lease them to whichever ISP wanted them, but that's expensive too, and budgets are always too small here. Comcast offering service over Comcast wires, Verizon over there's is not economically efficient, and not a sustainable path to competition, that's why the government monopolies happened in the first place.
Funny, when my dash-light was out, I found driving on the interstate far easier than around town.
More traffic to flow with, and more consistent speed limits. I was always worried I wasn't going 35 when the only car on a road that feels comfortable up to 50.
I hate the people that right turn into the left lane.
In Philadelphia, not taking the left that you describe gets you honked at. Where I live now taking it will cause the right-turners to panic and honk.
Of course in Philadelphia it's socially acceptable to "park" in the middle of the only lane on a one-way street for a quick visit, so those drivers suck too.
Yes, but GGGP said that using C++ would slow down GCC, I said that I thought compiling was IO limited, then GP said template usage is CPU intense (implying that using C++ within gcc could actually slow down a compile).
We owe Webkit to their NIH syndrome for example. Additionally, Krita is an interesting app that doesn't really have an open source analog.
Their take on Kword has always been different than MS's take on word processing (which is where Libre Office gets theirs). I really like how the toolbars in KDE4 behave too, getting the interface totally native is a nice touch.

MP3 player blocks your ears, I actually can see how that makes sense.
Also, I think they ask you to put your books away, but don't give a shit.
I really only like 1 and 6, maybe 2 also.

There's no way that an existing functional government was the cause.
Gotcha, it's 11 TW of power we use on average, not energy. that's why I was confused.
Watts aren't energy, the h in 11TWh is relevent.
18GW is a lot of GWh over the course of a year.
Also, I read 143,000 TWh as total in that article.

Also, I bet that often times a non-privileged user can infect the privileged area of a VM set to be run-able by that user.
Genetic engineering would be a quick example IMO.
A lot of the new targeted (location wise) medicines. Stem cell research starting to bear fruits. These are all medical and off the top of my head.

Also, the implication is that if a pregnancy happens there was no rape.
Not the type of guy I want in charge of policy wrt to police.
My (admittedly limited, but first hand) experience is completely contrary to your opnion.

my car takes practically that long too though.if it can start booting before the back-end is finished loading up, I don't think it'd be a problem.
It could even start as soon as the key fob is within proximity.
I think it's about 10 seconds with my '04 economy car to have a fully responsive dash.
Funny, when my dash-light was out, I found driving on the interstate far easier than around town.

The way KDE (or perhaps QT?) handle "dockers" is fantastic.
The context sensitive one is more limited (right-dock or float), but the others can float, tab, or dock to the top, bottom, or right.
Similar to the newer Adobe Creative Suites (not 4+ maybe), but a little smoother working.
Can't tab the floating ones though.
KDE is fairly innovative.
We owe Webkit to their NIH syndrome for example. Additionally, Krita is an interesting app that doesn't really have an open source analog.
Their take on Kword has always been different than MS's take on word processing (which is where Libre Office gets theirs). I really like how the toolbars in KDE4 behave too, getting the interface totally native is a nice touch.
I guess SSDs change this, but I thought compiling was generally IO bound.
air, damn me.
The lil one.
