"They run a small business and need some accounting software. They bought a logitech harmony universal remote and want to program it, they want to play some random steam game."
There are plenty of options for small businesses to use web based accounting software that operates in the cloud. In fact these are quite attractive to a small business due to things like having your accountant/book keeper and yourself being able to see the same set of up to date accounts. Your point was?
Keep up at the back there, it will be Spectrum Linux. With a bit a luck I might not need separate licenses for my Spectrum Protect (nee TSM) servers in the future. Though oddly Spectrum Protect for Virtual Enviroments seems to be a SuSE based VM.
Actually it might have been. One of the trail of issues that lead to the sinking was the switch from "best best" rivets to "best" rivets as a cost saving measure. Perhaps with stronger rivets less panels on the ship might have failed and if only two water tight compartments had been damaged instead of three it would have been able to sail on to New York.
Other issues where the lowering of the waterproof bulkheads for a sweeping staircase, in which case it would have been able to survive three compartments being flooded.
The watchman on duty at the time of the sinking forgetting his binoculars before sailing. With them he might have seen it sooner and it could have been avoided.
Finally slamming the ship in to full reverse and trying to steer away from the iceberg. When you go full reverse you loose your steering, so it should have been full reverse and ram the iceberg, only flooding the front compartment or just slowed down and steered away, and they might have missed it.
Oh dear, someone else who's knowledge is well out of date. Since LTO4 the tape speed has been variable to avoid shoe shinning. That is the drive will adjust the tape speed to match the incomming data rate. That said I have only used TSM (all other backup products being rubbish in comparison) and yes best practice is to have a fast disk pool for you daily churn, which is then punched out to a primary and copy pool of tape. You only need a VTL if your backup software is junk (aka not TSM/Spectrum Protect) or you want a dev enviroment for testing ourposes and a real tape library is too expensive.
These tapes are in massive libraries. Typically you string ~16 rack sized chassis together, which using LTO8 will give you around ~300PB of uncompressed storage. We are talking the likes of the IBM TS3500 or the newer TS4500. The other two players in the market are SpectraLogic and Oracle/StorTek who have similar libraries. With the TS3500 you used to be able at least to get a passover option so you could string 15 rows of libraries together for insane amounts of storage.
The only thing I doubt in the article is the rubbish about Iron Mountain. If you are Google/Facebook/Amazon etc. you just replicate your data to one of your many remote data centers. No point messing about having humans physically handling tapes on a daily basis (well other than feeding Audrey with new tapes). To be honest actually having your tape library onsite is a fairly dumb tactic anyway as there is a good chance the reason you need to use your backup is because the data centre has been transformed into a pile of smoking rubble or a large swimming pool.
Finally when you need to change tape technologies you just have the software copy it from the old tapes to the new tapes, and if they are all in the library while it might take several months it does not involve human interaction. Other than take old tapes out and putting new ones in every few days. You are going to need to do this probably every 6-7 years if you stretch it so the tapes only need to be able to reliably store data for say 10 years. That said provided it is stored in the correct environment LTO is good for 30 years from memory.
The real answer is neither. The increased competiveness of the US economy has come from cheaper energy prices which has come from fracked gas. Even if you got rid of all the regulations on coal, fracked gas would still be cheaper. There is of course a time lag from the availability of the cheap fracked gas to the increase in competiveness but nothing either party or any president has done has had a bearing on it. Well other than allowing the fracking. The only way to bring back coal is to stop the fracking of gas but that would be as dumb as hell, and very unpopular with voters; sorry your energy bills have gone up because we banned fracking to save coal jobs and oh while we saved a few coal miners jobs we lost more because we made our economy less competitive. That would go down like a lead balloon. Oh and a know the greens don't like it but you reduce your CO2 emissions at the same time.
Note Obama was wrong some of the jobs will and have come back because of the cheaper energy. It was however not really foreseeable the dramatic difference fracked gas and for that matter fracked oil would have on lowering energy prices in the US.
So the Samsung driver remains terrible because nobody will go near it due to the patent issues. I suspect that the real main reason is that everyone interested in using exFAT on Linux just installs the FUSE exFAT and that is where the development is actually occuring because you can side step the patent issues.
I would liken it to NTFS support which is pretty darn good if you use the FUSE based NTFS-3g and pretty roppy if you use the built in kernel driver.
Nobody is saying that Apple are not doing anything different from other companies. What they are say is that if they did it differently; that is make parts available at reasonable prices, then this scam/black market would evaporate almost overnight.
That is the scam/black market exists only because of Apples actions to stiff customers so hard to feel sorry for them.
I think you mean the Russian military. The Buk launcher came from the 53rd Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade of the Russian Federation, had been transported from Russia on the day of the crash, fired from a field in a rebel-controlled area, and the launcher returned to Russia after it was used to shoot down MH17.
A video from the crash site, recorded by the rebels and obtained by News Corp Australia, shows the first rebel soldiers to arrive at the crash site. At first they assumed that the downed aircraft was a Ukrainian military jet, and were dismayed when they started to realise that it was a civilian airliner.
Immediately after the shooting down, a post appeared on the VKontakte social media profile attributed to Igor Girkin, leader of the Donbass separatist militia, claiming responsibility for shooting down a Ukrainian An-26 military transporter near Torez. This post was removed later the same day, and the separatists then denied shooting down any aircraft.
It was absolutely the fault of a Russia sanctioned mission to interfere in a foreign nation militarily to down Ukrainian military planes because the rebels had none and it was a problem for them. It might not have been intentional but it was the direct result of a reckless plan sanctioned by Vladimir Putin.
I am quite sure the death of Dawn Sturgess was not intentional either, but frankly it does not matter. Both where the direct result of reckless actions and Putin is responsible.
Add in a polonium poisoning that left a trail of radioactive material all over London. Then there where the British citizen's killed in the downing of MH17. Plenty of grounds for a proportionate response of getting ride of the bastard before he authorizes any more actions which kill British citizens.
The right water cooled bench grinder can bring a chisel to super sharp in a few minutes. Try searching for chisel sharpening tormek on youtube to see a chisel that had an axe taken to the edge back to perfect in under 7 minutes and that involves a lot of talking about what is being done.
My Dell Optiplex 790 at work just got another BIOS update in August. That's the second one this year, after one last year for the Intel ME issue. The machine is now nearly seven years old, though has been pimped with 32GB of RAM and an SSD. In fact today I changed the graphics card for something that supports a Dual DVI link so I can hook up a 30" monitor that I got for free of a friend (he has gone 5k and was giving it away). Nothing fancy just a cheap fanless GeForce 710 off eBay, which just worked when I powered backup, because I was expecting to have to fight it (running CentOS 7 on my work desktop). Well other than I have to swap the display layout for the second monitor, but hey I was able to do that with clicking the mouse. A long way from editing mode lines a quarter of a century ago.
Does all I need as a system administrator, just wish I could persuade my boss to fork out on a 5k monitor.
And it would suck even more if your son had children with said future partner, and he is now a single parent and your grandchildren are motherless at a young age. Looks like decent benefits to me.
Why do you need to install squid? Surely you can just use SSH to setup a SOCKS proxy server and then get your web browser to use that with remote DNS. No requirement for squid and everything is tunnelled through SSH. All anyone ever sees looking at the traffic is an SSH session.
Note if you are running Windows 10 April 2018 update or later you will have the appropriate SSH built right into Windows. Everyone else can just install putty.
Of course Linux and Mac users have this built in from the year dot.
I use it all the time for remote admin, better than a VPN because I don't have to set up a VPN server.
With caveats yes. For example the GPU in the performance base of my Surface Book does not work. However I only have that as I wanted the 1TB disk, so that it does not work is meh for me. On the plus side the cameras dont work, which saves me putting tape over them. In the end I purchased it for the screen, and it is gorgeous. Everything else works, though to be fair I dont use the pen either or the touch screen either but they do work. I do however use the ability to undock the keyboard, turn it round and have the laptop as a sort of tablet thing, which i can the drop in this nice oak dock thing on my desk to make it easier to use a real keyboard, becuase fuck Apple and their chicklet crap.
Regulatory obstacles: you mean like not killing you at a 20mph collision by collapsing into a tangled mess. Look if European, Japanese and Korean manufactures can make cars that pass the regulatory obstacles without issue then the fact the Chinese can't should tell you the cars they are making are in fact death traps.
There is also the issue that a lot of Chinese cars are design knockoff's of western designs. They simply can't sell them in the west even if they could pass the regulatory barrier.
So for example putting both together the Cheryâ(TM)s QQ is a huge rip-off of the Daewoo Matiz, but if you are involved in a crash in the QQ you will most likely die, guess they cut some corners to get to the $5k price point then.
Those numbers are broadly similar to most other European nations, that don't have rampant tax evasion. Greece is in a mess because of a combination of excessive social spending resulting from effextively bribes to the electorate for power (vote for me and yoh can retire at 50 if you are a hairdresser or baker for example) and insufficient funds to pay for it all because of widespread tax evasion that has become culturally acceptable. There is also some theft of assets by Nazi's that would significantly reduce the debt too (smart thing for Greece would have been to default on the debt to the Germans only to the appropriate tune and be very up fromt about why they where doing it). Noting further that the tax evasion thing in Greece is of result of the Nazi occupation, it was seen as civil resistance.
Norway has huge amounts of oil and gas. They also have massive a ku ts of hydroelectric power. If you think tbey have no resources you are an ignorant moron.
Noting that not all fee paying schools are public schools (most are not). So we have state schools which are free to attend, private schools that cost money, and public schools which are all very old and very elitist, think Eton, Harrow, Rugby etc. Note the oldest school in the UK (and world as I understand it) with continuous teaching since 692 AD is technically not a Public school, and the state school in the next town to mine growing up known locally as Qegs or the Queen Elizabeth Grammer School, where thats Elizabeth the First, and the school is getting on for 500 years old. So its not just about age.
In which case they can just use the "Make it Fit" expert make have that do all the work fiddling with font size, margins and kine spacing to pad out their work to what ever the desired page count is. It more than 20 years later and Microsoft Word still has not got the same feature, but did aquire a stupid ribbon.
My take is that none of these times include clear up and you need good knife skills to make the times.
The alternative approach I like is to make a large batch of food that I then freeze as individual portions. So I next weekend I will be making a batch of bolognese source. It will be enough for 12 portions and will take about two hours all told. So that's 10 minutes a meal, and it takes 2 minutes a portion to heat in a microwave, and 10 minutes for the pasta in a pan.
