Alternatively you could put your power lines along with your phone lines under the fricking ground and waterproof all the joints if you live in a hurricane zone. Cheaper than rebuilding every time a hurricane blows through.
Even if you use steel or concrete utility poles there is still a risk of the lines being damaged by debris.
Oh and you could also stop building your houses out of matchsticks. They teach this at nursery level in "The Three Little Pigs" for crying out load. There are codes/standards for hurricane proof housing and it's not rocket science either.
Personally I have little to no sympathy with people affected by the hurricanes. They choose to ignore the risk of the location they live in and then ask others for help because they where to stupid to plan for an inevitable outcome. Why exactly should I care?
Yes, several times now. The trick is to invest in enterprise level tape library and enterprise level backup software.
In fact you need a whole backup system not just a tape library. I would expect replicated tape libraries at physically separate locations, replicated backup servers with appropriate dedicated storage arrays and then an install of TSM nee Spectrum Protect. Personally I would put TSM on some pSeries running AIX to get a little extra security through obscurity.
Error correction will work for any number of flipped bits depending on how many bits you dedicate to the error correction code. Expect more errors dedicate more bits. Expect less errors dedicate few bits. Of course the more bits you dedicate to the ECC code the less you can store. Error rates in tapes are well known.
You mean like his "most hygienic hand dryers" that turn out due to the high speed air used to actually be the most *UN*hygienic hand dryers as they blast the germs of your hands and circulate them around the room. A huge backwards step in public health from a Brexiter bastard who actually could not give a shit about joe public.
That depends. If you put your landline infrastructure above ground in a hurricane zone then you get what you ask for. On the other hand put it in the ground then even when the winds are blowing at full force you won't loose your landline.
Similar for things go for power too. Just because you can string it between some poles does not make it a good idea. If you live in an area where high winds are likely then stringing it between poles is as dumb as f$%^.
Similarly if you live in a hurricane zone and you construct your house out of some timber nailed together, then the amount of sympathy you will get from me when it is blown away is a big fat zero.
Basically the goal should be avoiding the need for repair rather than working out what is the easiest way to repair something.
No it's about long term ease of maintenance. Eventually your OS will be out of support and you will need to upgrade. I would rather upgrade 10 VM's one at a time than one with 10 services in one go. If you can't see the advantages of option one then you have not been through option two. In fact I have never been through option two because the services where spun out into single service VM's one at a time till I could turn the physical server off.
Further Linux high availability sucks (this is from bitter experience) so want high availability then fire up a VM based solution and it actually works.
The coffee didn't actually harm the "user" of the coffee as I am quite sure that putting coffee between your legs, then spilling it all over yourself and then not immediately removing the clothes is not how you are supposed to use coffee. Oh and I say that having just drunk a cup of coffee that was *hotter* than the one in question and I have not need admitting to hospital.
They are also extremely expensive to implement in cities. For example recently Edinburgh put in a tram system, for the money spent you could replace every single bus in the city with an electric one. Way better use of money than a tram system that only goes between the centre of the city and the airport.
Yeah, thing is electric buses are about air quality in our cities. Further in cities most buses actually do around 100 miles a day, so a 1100 mile range is enough for a whole day of driving and more. My guess is most of these buses will be delivered with a lower capacity battery pack.
Supermarkets in the UK (or anywhere else in the EU for that matter) do not sell the fuel at a loss. To do so would be an illegal cross subsidy. They do however make wafer thin margins on fuel sales.
This was covered a couple of decades ago when the regular garages complained and the Office for Fair Trading investigated.
This bus did over 1000 miles on a single charge. The *AVERAGE* bus does about 100 miles a day. This is not a bus replacement more an intercity coach replacement.
In bus mode there is no need whatsoever for replacing the battery packs anywhere provided you can charge them up overnight. The need to use an internal combustion engine in a "bus" has been obsoleted for some time now.
In the UK the longest journey you can make without starting to drive around in circles to deliberately taking longer diversions is the "Lands End to John O'Groats" trip which is a mere 840 miles and that will take you 15 hours. So this "coach" will comfortably manage that trip on a single charge.
The problem is that (in the UK at least) only 14% of NOx comes from vehicles. The figures in the study show that the UK is broadly comparable to the rest of the EU in this regard.
So worrying about 5000 extra deaths from dieselgate is missing the point by some considerable margin. The big problem as I understand it is actually domestic gas boilers, which has been exacerbated by the switch to condensing boilers.
Basically the problem is if you maximize efficiency from burning *ANY* fuel, you need to increase the combustion temperature to do so. However increasing the combustion temperature will lead to increased NOx production.
Another kicker is that NOx is a short term pollutant. That is it is removed from the atmosphere in a matter of months if not weeks. CO2 on the other hand takes decades if not centuries to be removed.
Finally the study is flawed because it makes the fatal assumption of a "zero risk choice". That is producing more CO2 does not and will not cause more deaths than producing less CO2.
That's easily solvable, and has been for a long time. It's just we are not keen to actually take the required action.
Basically you revert to 19th century gun boat diplomacy. That is we sail some ships up to the Somali coast and just pound the coastline with you naval guns till they stop coming. Further any pirates seen actually on the ocean, you just mow them down with your miniguns, no questions asked.
I guarantee you that the Somali pirate problem will be solved very quickly if this is the approach taken.
Duh, the problem with that is it presumes that you need to check outside sources. Perhaps you already know how to raise your limits and just do it. So you fail because you hit a resource problem, realized this and fixed it using already gained knowledge.
He was the first person to successfully transmit a moving image over radio waves, which is what most people would consider to be what television is. I seem to recall that JLB coined the term television too,
However American's don't like to think any bit of modern technology was not invented by themselves so because Farnsworth system was the one initially widely used they like to think that Farnsworth invented the TV.
Thing is none of the TV's in my house look like either a JBL or Farnsworth system, so the idea that it was Farnsworth that invented it because his system is the one in widespread use is now looking somewhat of a feeble argument because CRT based TV's are basically yesterday's technology, with the number of CRT based TV's in use rapidly declining.
Further Farnsworth method of capturing the image for transmission went ages ago, it's all CCD or CMOS devices today and has been for a long time now.
Of course getting an American to actually admit that is like getting the truth out of Trump.
I keep hearing this, but that would be the biggest loss of life from a conventional artillery barrage in the history of warfare by at least 3 orders of magnitude. Add in that there are twice yearly air raid drills in Seoul and I really don't buy the "millions" dying in 15 minutes.
Sure North Korea has lots of artillery pieces but apparently only around 700 that could strike Seoul. Secondly in the 2010 incident out of some 288 rounds that they should have been able to fire they only managed 170, and only 80 landed on the fricking island. Any sustained barrage is going to require lots of shoot and scoot otherwise the artillery pieces are going to be rapidly picked off too.
We also know that about 25% of their shells and rockets don't even explode.
Then there is the fact that Seoul has an extensive of air raid shelter network and twice yearly drills that would very quickly reduce the exposed population.
Further by concentrating it all on Seoul they are leaving themselves short of artillery to soften up the US/South Korean forces leaving them to counter strike. So even if they somehow manage to kill a million civilians then its curtains for Kimâ(TM)s regime. While he might be crazy one presumes he is not suicidal.
Correct. Though in exceptional circumstances you can still monitor the emails without telling the employee.
This was a super narrow judgement, tell the employee that work email accounts will be monitored and you are in the free and clear. I would add that any sensible employer would already be telling their employees that anyway.
Nasty foreign firm stealing the hard work of bonafide Americans played out in front of a jury is how they lost.
My bone of contention is that patents are not supposed to be granted for something obvious to those "skilled in the art". So using a motion sensor to detect someone falling is fecking obvious to someone skilled in the art of motion sensors. Heck it's obvious to me and I have zero experience of designing products with motion sensors.
As such the patent should never have been granted.
What on earth makes you think that computer modeling makes the radiation only arrive exactly where needed? That's just not how it works.
More exactly everything in the path of the beam gets a dose. By firing the beam from multiple angles so that the point of intersection is over the tumor you deliver a maximal dose to the tumor, and a minimal dose to the surrounding tissues.
Computer modeling using CT and NMR scans to plan the treatment can help to give a better treatment plan than using pen and paper.
However lots of none tumorous tissue is still getting a dose of radiation.
I recently got a 4k TV and while the best material I have is 1080p (above a certain size it's hard not to get a 4k TV anymore at least in the UK) what I really notice is that the interface for all the catchup and Pelx is now super sharp. Way better than a 1080p screen which I also have. So while I don't have an 4k content to play back having used a 4k TV for a couple of months now there is no way I would buy a none 4k TV in the future.
Odd we should be mentioning this, but underage brides in the USA was one of the main stories on the BBC news app yesterday or possibly the day before. The thrust of the story was that their was a huge increase in it in recent years so much so that a number of states have recently brought in minimum ages of 18 for marriage.
Then again I live in Scotland that only brought in any sort of minimum age in the 1920's and even then it's 16 with on requirement for parental consent. (rest of UK it's 16 but parents have to consent). There is a reason why Lydia was though to be running off to Gretna with Mr. Whickham.
Really since when has 1609m been about 2km? Oh and I live in Scotland large parts of which have very low population densities comparable with much of rural USA (well excepting Alaska) and the Scottish government plan is universal 30Mbps by end of 2020 from memory.
Don't use the onboard NIC then. If it ain't plugged in it can't be used and if it is a random NIC from a different vendor than Intel it's unlikely that Intel ME will be able to make use of it.

Keep using a current LTS version of Ubuntu Server on those devices then. Oh and the Raspberry Pi 3 is 64 bit.

Right because most mid sized cities in the UK all have functioning bus systems. That is assuming midsize is from say 300,000 plus.
Yeah, thing is electric buses are about air quality in our cities. Further in cities most buses actually do around 100 miles a day, so a 1100 mile range is enough for a whole day of driving and more. My guess is most of these buses will be delivered with a lower capacity battery pack.
