"Throw away".... How naive. The non primary sites can be sold off with preferential state ordinances and permissions intact, at a more than nominal profit. They would also have achieved their primary goal of maximising the same same ordinances, permissions and supply lines for the primary site through competitive leveraging.
The earliest American land barons and economists built the US economy on the backs of slave labour too. When someone is monomaniacal they are spectacularly effective at achieving a set goal. If their sponsors are sociopaths (Like the Nazi's first AND the US later - for von Braun), the results can be achieved breathtakingly quickly.
Neither the Nazis, nor the US had altruism as their goal when supporting von Braun. - This is known
Whether his goals where altruistic, may be up for speculation, although I think space exploration is a pretty lofty ideal.
Did the end justify the means? In either case? Probably not, but we now enjoy the end, while others had to pay the means, never forget that.
If anyone is fundamentally horrified and appalled by the fact that he used concentration camp slave labour, and that the US only used him to advance their instruments of war, I cannot say that I disagree with your moral standpoint. I do however have to request that you hand over all your technological goodies and advances that are a direct and indirect result of the space program, since otherwise YOU are getting reaping the rewards of an end while despising the means.
No, the code did not write itself. Somebody wrote a steaming pile of shit, and submitted it to one of the MOST important branches of open source development content.
Did they test it before committing? Y) - Then why commit shit you know is shit? N) - How can you commit without testing?
There is NO excuse for knowingly submitting code THIS broken. There is even LESS excuse for unknowingly submitting feces instead of decent code.
If the developer of the code is actually talented, they will appreciate the enormity of their blunder, and instead of being a "modern-day oversensitive, metrosexual, lets not have any winners but give everyone a prize, oh shame but didn't he try hard, but what about his feelings?" fuckup, they'll not do it again.
If they're not talented, they can fuckoff and code for someone else.
Groucho Marx Abstract: While preparing to film a movie entitled A Night in Casablanca, the Marx brothers received a letter from Warner Bros. threatening legal action if they did not change the film’s title. Warner Bros. deemed the film’s title too similar to their own Casablanca, released almost five years earlier in 1942, with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. In response Groucho Marx dispatched the following letter to the studio’s legal department:
Dear Warner Brothers, Apparently there is more than one way of conquering a city and holding it as your own. For example, up to the time that we contemplated making this picture, I had no idea that the city of Casablanca belonged exclusively to Warner Brothers. However, it was only a few days after our announcement appeared that we received your long, ominous legal document warning us not to use the name Casablanca.
It seems that in 1471, Ferdinand Balboa Warner, your great-great-grandfather, while looking for a shortcut to the city of Burbank, had stumbled on the shores of Africa and, raising his alpenstock (which he later turned in for a hundred shares of common), named it Casablanca.
I just don’t understand your attitude. Even if you plan on releasing your picture, I am sure that the average movie fan could learn in time to distinguish between Ingrid Bergman and Harpo. I don’t know whether I could, but I certainly would like to try.
You claim that you own Casablanca and that no one else can use that name without permission. What about “Warner Brothers”? Do you own that too? You probably have the right to use the name Warner, but what about the name Brothers? Professionally, we were brothers long before you were. We were touring the sticks as the Marx Brothers when Vitaphone was still a gleam in the inventor’s eye, and even before there had been other brothers—the Smith Brothers; the Brothers Karamazov; Dan Brothers, an outfielder with Detroit; and “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” (This was originally “Brothers, Can You Spare a Dime?” but this was spreading a dime pretty thin, so they threw out one brother, gave all the money to the other one, and whittled it down to “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?”)
Now Jack, how about you? Do you maintain that yours is an original name? Well it’s not. It was used long before you were born. Offhand, I can think of two Jacks—Jack of “Jack and the Beanstalk,” and Jack the Ripper, who cut quite a figure in his day.
As for you, Harry, you probably sign your checks sure in the belief that you are the first Harry of all time and that all other Harrys are impostors. I can think of two Harrys that preceded you. There was Lighthouse Harry of Revolutionary fame and a Harry Appelbaum who lived on the corner of 93rd Street and Lexington Avenue. Unfortunately, Appelbaum wasn’t too well-known. The last I heard of him, he was selling neckties at Weber and Heilbroner.
Now about the Burbank studio. I believe this is what you brothers call your place. Old man Burbank is gone. Perhaps you remember him. He was a great man in a garden. His wife often said Luther had ten green thumbs. What a witty woman she must have been! Burbank was the wizard who crossed all those fruits and vegetables until he had the poor plants in such confused and jittery condition that they could never decide whether to enter the dining room on the meat platter or the dessert dish.
This is pure conjecture, of course, but who knows—perhaps Burbank’s survivors aren’t too happy with the fact that a plant that grinds out pictures on a quota settled in their town, appropriated Burbank’s name and uses it as a front for their films. It is even possible that the Burbank family is prouder of the potato produced by the old man than they are of the fact that your studio emerged “Casablanca” or even “Gold Diggers of 1931.
Actually, you're referring to an IT guy with a competent Manager / Director, who would have ensured that a decent load balancing / ADC solution was in place... Now that I think about it, if they used a decent load-balancer / ADC, they would probably be doing SSL termination on the device, so the higher up would have to be even more competent, and ensured the devices were purchased / installed in a fail-over pair, with connection mirroring and persistence mirroring enabled, meaning that the standby device can get patched, seamless fail-over, double check, newly standby box patched, and then fail back or let it run, as per fail-over preference policy...
Do YOUR due diligence and read up a bit on Feyman's opinion of your position. He felt that making a distinction of the Jewish people on technological achievements, and making a distinction of the Jewish people on perceived (however insane the idea) global domination starts with the same erroneous (and frankly bigoted) stance of making an arbitrary distinction of the Jewish people.
The next time you want to go around proclaiming that the Jews are 'separate' / 'different' / 'special' or 'unusual', just remember some other f*cking lunatics that did the exact same thing.
I'm donating all my organs, but with a proviso that they use at least 70% and all to one recipient... That way it's less of an organ donation, and more a hostile takeover...
Yes YOU cant see how it can be done, nor can most of us. Thats why its interesting, because it would require hand crafting two entirely different format types on the same physical medium... quite a lot more technically difficult than simply using half the tracks for one OS, and the other half for the other. Please read TFA before attempting to sound insightful.
Fuck focus following the mouse, how about NOT ALLOWING APPS TO STEAL FOCUS!!! I've started creating docs in Open Office, and saving them in MS Office format, solely due to the fact that in Ubuntu I can tell the OS to NEVER steal focus, no "download completed" dialog boxes cocking up my painful hunt & peck typing style...
...." Nowhere in the first does it say anything about which factory produces the bogus Cisco gear, whether its the same one producing legit gear, or a copycat assembly operation working with sub-suppliers."...
Errrm......" A great deal of Cisco manufacturing is now done overseas, specifically in China. Cisco made a decision a decade ago to manufacture product in China as a way of cutting production costs. What has happened is that many of the companies that do the outsourcing for Cisco now run an extra shift and sell the now counterfeit hardware out the back door . After all, they have the manufacturing capability, the expertise and the full blessing of Cisco. The result? More and more counterfeit Cisco hardware is now showing up on American shores. Part of the problem is that China does not have strong intellectual property protection laws. This is a situation that Cisco and many other companies are still struggling to solve and one that does not promise to be resolved soon."...
Either the ability to read, or the ability to comprehend what you have read seems to be a problem, which is it?
If you are suggesting that some group of people have the resources to reverse engineer advanced electronic equipment including ASICS to the point that its virtually indistinguishable from the originals, and then introduce them at a lower price point by manufacturing them in some back yard factory, you have a lot to learn about electronic design and manufacture. ...." Supplier does that to you, you stiff them - HARD - and switch to another supplier, while changing your design slightly so that the old copycat inventory is now impossible to move at a profit. Do that a few times, and they'll get the message that there's no long-term profit in screwing around."....
EXACTLY why the manufacturer has to be the same... Think about it.

You can't have it both ways.
Have I worked for you before?
No, the code did not write itself.

"quick! he's not using the terminology i use, tell him he must be new!"
Holy shit, your UID is almost a million higher than mine. YOU MUST BE NEW HERE!
And yours is nearly a million higher than mine... I most be old here!

Zero'ng can (theretically) be circumvented by picking up residual data patterns ... but 2 or more random writes in between...
I'd like a link on any scenario where it's been done...
True
Defamatory, no.
Libelous, no
Injurious language (
crimen injuria -according to South African law, for example), yes
Bitter much???
THAT aint no low ID....
Damned wippersnappers...
I'm donating all my organs, but with a proviso that they use at least 70% and all to one recipient...
