Precisely, a bunch of drives, or a RAID, starts at two drives.
Actually you're more than happy to run it on 1 drive as well. There's nothing "precise" about the GP's assertion that ZFS wants a fairly specific configuration.
What do you mean nobody wanted a microphone and HD camera focused 24/7 on their living room or bedroom (or kid's bedroom)?
If your Xbox360 was on 24/7 you likely have a different problem. But then you also played the think of the children card which means... you're a politician posing as a nerd on Slashdot to infiltrate us so you *definitely* have a different problem.
Why $99? Are they trying to sell as many as possible?
Fines in many places in the world are graded in ranges which can be applied to specific offences. I would bet you that spare $1 that the reason it is $99 is that the next range starts at $100 and the crime isn't serious enough to fit in that next range. Likely they simply applied the maximum whole dollar amount.
Read the law and look for words "up to and not exceeding".
J-walking is also illegal in many places. That hasn't stopped anyone, even those people who have been fined in the past. It is just a tax on the unlucky.
Take away peoples' right to sue the crap out of whatever driver hits them if they're texting while crossing the street, and they'll stop.
Stop what? Stop texting? Like the J-walking laws have stopped people crossing at red lights?
Or maybe we are looking to stopping fatal crashes, in which case you could take the opposite approach like the Netherlands where if a driver hits a pedestrian (even a texting inattentive one) they get royally fucked. That reduced injuries quite well and as a side effect drivers seem to be far more sensible there than in most other countries.
I think it's kind of interesting that Millennials and other constant users of smart phones, especially singles, who walk around all day looking at a screen, complain that they can't meet any decent people
I think it's kind of interesting that {Insert older generation} have some idea based entirely on prejudice and observer bias about {insert younger generation}.
Newsflash: Millennials are living in a shit-storm from the previous generation, yet on the whole are incredibly happy with their lives. The only negative relationship statistic for millennials is that marriage rates are down. Mind you so are divorce rates, and the overall marriage rate is about on par when correlated to the belief that marriage is a goal in life.
Instead they rely on dating apps
Very few people use dating apps to "meet decent people", actually it's usually quite the opposite.
Seriously, the author is worried about spending a tiny bit more at Walmart because school kids in China now get cleaner air?
Yes, we all are. Otherwise they wouldn't have this problem in the first place. Their factories don't product for the local population. If the USA stopped buying Chinese and started spending more money on American then pollution in China would greatly reduce.
Nerds knew. But that's kind of the point of the summary, the general thought that has been embedded in smartphone users via rote learning is that camera only does something when it's showing on your screen or flashing an LED.
We're all aware, we just don't interlink. And yes we do. I think every country in the Fortune 500 needs to. These problems have existed in every multinational I've worked for, and when joking about it I've heard the same stories from people at others too.
Mind you the fact I also find a relevant Dilbert cartoon to describe pretty much every single one of my workplace interactions isn't a good sign either:-)
This has been true since Google started selling non-electronic stuff.
Err. No this has been true since Larry Page and Sergey Brin hacked together a ranking system in their garage. Google's customer service has been utter shite from even its early search days long before they started selling anything.
I know you're trying to be friendly and empathetic
This gives me the shits with modern customer service. I had this with Microsoft. It took 5 fucking minutes to get past the: "We're sorry to hear you're having a problem." "This is not the experience I want you to have with our device." "We will try everything possible to get your problem fixed." "We can offer services in multiple countries."... "What are you calling about today?"
Fuck off! Say: "Hi" Let me tell you the problem, and either present me a very sane option to fix it or give me an RMA number. Nothing more nothing less. I certainly don't give a shit what *you* Mr $1/hr Indian support keyboard monkey thinks about my experience, and I know for a fact you don't care either.
It's quite sad that we live in a world where I now thank people who don't offer this friendly bullshit.
People aren't incompetent. Corporations are incompetent. Procedures and strict controls lead to incompetence.
I used to criticise "people" until I myself let a critical license go overdue (not a domain name, but a government license). I knew the renewal was coming. After I didn't receive the renewal notice (it was routed to the wrong department in our company and bounced around for 6 weeks) I with plenty of time to spare paid it anyway based on a web invoice. But since there was no paper to track the payment, accounting didn't release the funds despite procurement approving them. Me (the only person who was tracking the license) only saw that procurement had done their job since I have no connection to accounting which is outsourced to a specialist.
3 weeks later the invoice arrived on my desk along with, a late warning, along with a notice of license cancellation.
Not a single person was incompetent. Everyone did their job exactly like they were supposed to. What we were was limited and encumbered.
I remember when Apple using quality DACs inside the iPod was a big fucking deal.
You remember when, but do you remember why? The first generation iPod was grilled for being horrible and anemic with measurements showing how lack of capacitance near the amplifying components contributed to it being unable to produce any satisfactory dynamics.
The first gen iPod only had it's library size as its "deal" and the Diamond Rios shat all over the frist gen iPod in audio quality. The second gen iPod changed the focus towards quality of audio. The first gen Shuffle was equally grilled for poor audio quality.
You mean the assault rifles they sell legally at gun shows have another use?
Like I said, there's a topic we should stay on. What I believe about cigarettes and my rebuttal to the OP's comparison with cars has nothing at all to do with guns, so don't go implying meaning where I have stated none.
But for the record: No I don't. I personally think the USA's gun obsession is fundamentally retarded and that a minority of psychotics hide behind a powerful piece of paper to enforce tyranny of the minority. That is all I'm going to say on the gun topic.
So what you're saying is "No but {insert irrelevant strawman}"
When do we ban cars?
Cigarettes and cars have different utility and contribute differently to the economy. If cars only existed to kill its occupants we'd have banned them long ago.... You didn't think this was a single variable decision did you? Shame on your simple mindedness.
So now that they have deemed vapor a harmful pollutant. Are we going to ban restaurants who bring out a nice piping hot plate of food releasing its steam vapor?
I stand corrected. You're not simple minded at all. You're obtusely dense and don't want to think about the differences in your examples.
After all someone might be allergic to something in that steam.
Allergies are irrelevant to the discussion. Please stay on topic.
Or offended by the smell of cooked pork.
Offence is irrelevant to the discussion. Please stay on topic.
With the number of rich jews...
There we go, now it all comes out. Whatever credibility you had left in the discussion (very little mind you) you just pissed against the wall. Now off you fuck.
Quoting $ ignores the problem of data management. Apple's time machine is an easy solution, but every other implementation of versioning filesystem is a management nightmare for users and that nightmare gets larger as sizes increase.
I believe it would have been more productive had Microsoft given users the tools and let them decide for themselves rather than piling on yet another set of access controls and expecting them to be used for real this time.
Do you not realise that access controls and versioning are two different things that just happen to overlap in a small area? Are you also saying that since you're using ZFS snapshotting that AppArmor and SELinux are pointless?
it was sold to make up for the over $1 billion accounting scandal
Let's see, is Toshiba struggling over a $1bn accounting scandal, or the $6.3bn Westinghouse writedown? hmmmmm. Let's do some math. errr carry the one, one minus 3 is seven, divide by the the numerator.... oh Got It! If it were just the accounting scandal then Toshiba would have a cool $5.3bn spare and wouldn't need to sell anything.
1) You clearly have no kids if you think just because someone is 8 or under doesn't mean they won't search for something they've talked about. 2) Targeted what now? Wait you would let someone under 8 use a computer with an administrator account? You've just asserted that kids won't find porn, they sure as hell won't fill out phishing attempts or start downloading and installing software (especially not on a computer where they won't be capable of doing so). One thing they will definitely find before they get to screwing your computer up is however... porn. 3) You sound like you haven't used the internet for the past 10 years. You tell me how hard this is (phrasing pun intended): https://www.pornhub.com/
The whole point of using open standards like S/MIME is you don't need to trust anything. It will either work or it won't, and you can easily verify the former.
Slashdot Mirror
Complete hogwash. Chinese consumers buy the same crap as is sold here
Yes they do. The difference is that the number of active people in the Chinese market are dwarfed by the number of internationals.
Supply outstrips demand
Kind of my point. You want to contribute to a cleaner China, stop being part of the demand. Factories will cease being viable.
Precisely, a bunch of drives, or a RAID, starts at two drives.
Actually you're more than happy to run it on 1 drive as well. There's nothing "precise" about the GP's assertion that ZFS wants a fairly specific configuration.
Did it also patch /proc to keep my fans spinning quietly? In which case I'm likely thermally throttling and they are still doing it very slowly.
