If the power wouldn't have come back at the datacenter, would that still be a power issue? If an earthquake destroys the datacenter is that an earthquake issue?
If your system collapses when a datacenter goes offline (for whatever reason), you're at fault, not the datacenter. This seems like a classic case of having a single point of failure.
Yes. Get one with an inbuilt headphone amplifier. The Asus Xonar DG and its PCI-E sibling are dirt cheap, and yet provide a great headphone amp. Give them a try!
Don't get me wrong, I use C++ both at the workplace and for hobby projects and love it, the point I'm trying to make is that the types of errors encountered during developing in C++ are very different to those encountered in say Java. So the comparison that C++ errors are easier to fix seems to be apples to oranges.
Oh coding error? Well thats helpful. Misplace a semicolon in a non-trivial meta-program or dsl in C++, and just watch the errors that the compiler spits back at you. None of which, will have anything to do with semicolons. I suppose this is why the C++ errors are considered to be easy to fix. Mistype a word, and you get 15000 lines of errors. I suppose it's easy to fix all those errors too. Yes, but figuring out what exactly the coding error was is kind of the point.
I discovered tmux (terminal multiplexer) a while back, and is a very potent replacement for screen, it supports splitting windows, having multiple sessions, sharing windows between sessions, customizable status bars etc. Try it out!
As a university student, my uni grants access to MS products like Windows, Visual Studio etc. It really was a matter of entering a serial and that was all that had to be done. I take it off the shelf windows activates more obtusely?
If a government (or any other body) can disable sites/remove content at will for _any_ justification without due process, the same can be done for content that was not originally covered by the law. i.e.: political site, shut it down because it had porn on it. (regardless of whether or not there actually was any on the site). The problem with bans against subsets of speech is not that the actual subsets are considered to be valuable, but because the vagueness of what is considered pornographic means lawyers can just slap it on to anything.
What generally causes problems with the replacement of the motherboard beneath the operating system is generally the storage drivers. CPU you cant swap no problem, same goes for memory, video card, but the motherboard is tricky in that (generally speaking) it also is responsible for the communication with the hard drives, and behaves in a certain way depending on its make etc. If you can, install the appropriate drivers for the new motherboard before switching, and you'll be fine.
Google Music is a serious contester I'll grant you, but because iTunes' only realistic lossless support is ALAC, which Google music for some reason doesn't support (even though there are FOSS decoders for it), I can't yet make the transition. I do hope ALAC support will be introduced down the line though.
So what exactly does it do that similarly equipped Linux machines/vps' can't do that justify the cost? I mean granted, it seems headless installation seems to finally work, but still..
If arctic sea level is a quasi-monotonically decreasing function, then isn't every point in time (after a certain threshold, and when the level changes) a record low?
/.-s comment system not helping me here:
The developers at COMPANY aren't getting money because they're greedy or anything, it's because they're programming whatever COMPANY produces _instead_ of what they'd like.
If they are coding for recognition, to build up a resume etc., then they hopefully enter the industry later on, after which it's not their problem if and when the product actually gets sold / pirated / ignored.
If however, one is in the business for the money (not intended as an insult, we do have to make a living after all), then why don't they do programming as what could be called, a "day-job" at some large-ish company. The developers at aren't getting money because they're greedy or anything, it's because they're programming whatever produces _instead_ of what they'd like. After which, they can go home, and work on the Linux kernel or something..
I don't see _why_ all work should be compensated, is the notion of someone developing software for fun --instead of say, watching TV-- really that far-fetched?
Do that, and 4 months later, -one- of the many successfully applied updates will screw things up, and you'll have to figure out which update exactly was the culprit. Don't get me wrong, it's a fine strategy, it's just one of the reasons I dread reboots..
I was a child when my father did this for me and him, but we basically made 3d glasses, with negative film (the things used before digital cameras..) instead of red-cyan film. Worked great!

The eBook Backlash

· Score: 1
Reference materials are much better suited to online or eBook distribution because they need to be updated to correct any errors or omissions, and to add new information as it comes up.
Actually, I find it's the other way around: Fiction I start at the start, and go through it page by page like everyone else. But searching through reference material requires the ability to flick through the pages, which can be easily done with a physical book. Sure, you might be able to search on an eReader, if your looking for a diagram you're kind of screwed.
Of course, most other regions like Europe or China don't consider the self-incrimination thing to be a problem at all.
I'm undoing moderation here but: Wrong. Even the eastern country where I live (Hungary) has provisions against self-incrimination. And public/private encryption is also legal. The only thing I can think of that isn't legal is encryption using your digital signature.
Unfortunately, as a child who enjoyed playing with LEGO (singular, not plural) I always built what was in the instructions, and then started building things totally different. Combining kits etc, to achieve what had never been done before. I always thought that this was what LEGO would be all about. Turns out, everyone else I knew who had LEGO, built them once (according to the manual) and then left them on the shelves to collect dust.
Ultimately what I'm trying to say is, yes there is a lot of potential in everything, LEGO, game programming etc. But noone except geeks will ever actually use any of them. For them, getting them interested is kind of moot..

So remind us Ubisoft, why exactly did you create that horrible DRM?

Considering how driving on a given side of the road isn't exactly global, could you use inner/outer instead of left/right please? Thank you.
Well it seems to me that the version numbers increase at the speed of the factorial, so: 15.0 is 3.68024 which is about right too.

Amazon has massive server farms that are available as either storage, or computation.
