...remember grandma's aphorism about money not buying happiness? Well, brace yourself, but dear ole grandma may have been misinformed. Our survey shows that nearly half (49%) of those with an annual family income of more than $100,000 say they're very happy. By contrast, just 24% of those with an annual family income of less than $30,000 say they're very happy.
There are rooms with servers, and there are Data Centers.
The latter always has multiple, idealy redundant, air handlers. All of which need to drain somewhere. Proper raised floors with elevated cable trays mitigate water concerns.
I've not had a datacenter flood because of an AC unit or a toilet, but mother nature often seems to find a way. In a pinch, diapers are a great way to hold back the water.
While all of those statistics and facts seem accurate, I would offer another question. Consider the fact that the majority of 4+ wheel vehicles on the road are not sports cars, or possibly not even cars, leading them to have more weight on the same small contact patches (albeit 4 of them).
I would also be curious as to the average reaction time for emergency braking on a bike vs. a 4-wheel vehicle. With all of the available distractions in "cages" these days...
With all this in mind, your statements may still hold true. Practicing defensive riding (SIPDE) and honing your skils (track days, riding courses) are probably your best bets for safety on the road.
I find this hard to believe. Why would it take you longer to stop a smaller vehicle?
Do you just have a rear brake (chopper style)?
Maybe more practice is a good idea, as it is really quite hard to lock up the front wheel on a sport modern bike. Now if there is water involved, and cars have ABS, all bets are out the window.
Of course, the safest thing to have on a bike is the distance between you and everyone else.
Thanks for the sensible reply. I think your argument is fair, and, while the breakdown of cost doesn't always make sense, it is probably never intended to.
I would like to see a lot more transparency in the way that money is handled, just to see how much pork there really is. For every dollar spent on a given task, how much is spend on $1,000+/night hotel rooms for contractors, etc.
I shot from the hip with my reply taking your sig literally.
Credit for Loss of Connectivity Unless stated otherwise herein, the Customer's exclusive remedy for loss of connectivity is repair of service and credit for the period of lost connectivity to the Internet. Credits will be paid for loss of connectivity as listed below if the elapsed time from Ticket Open exceeds the following:
Exceeding 2 hours: 5% of monthly billed site revenue. Exceeding 4 hours: 10% of monthly-billed site revenue. Exceeding 6 hours: 15% of monthly billed site revenue. Every subsequent 4-hour increment shall receive an additional 5% credit, the sum of which is not to exceed 100% of the total monthly bill for that location. The period of lost connectivity to the Internet shall be determined by records kept by the TowerStream Network Operations Center ("NOC") and based on measurements to the Customer Demarcation.
First is the aforementioned (and other) software that allows you to perform some sophisticated email archiving, and searching.
Second is the hardware product. EMC has the Centera, I am not sure what else is out there. This basically is a relatively inexpensive, ata-based, scalable solution that can provide wormdrive-rated retention of data, with some built in disaster recovery options.
This doesn't just make email (and other data) easy to keep, it makes it hard to delete.
While there are many different options available for Campus Area Network connectivity, the first real question is, "What do you need this network for?".
Is it just going to be for surfing the web, checking email, etc. while travelling around your property? Do you plan on having cameras set up at different sites, or other monitoring gear that needs a lot of bandwidth?
Without knowing the intended use of this network, the uptime requirements (obviously cheap and simple are hints), it is a shotgun approach to network design.
Michael Chricton's (sp?) "Timeline" is a pretty good book, dealing with some similar concepts, albeit with his typical something is neat, something goes horribly wrong, twist...
To invoke the "civil disobedience" moniker on this one is a waste. If music were only sold to certain people, and you chose to distribute it's message among the unpriveledged, perhaps you could find an angle. The problem is, under your argument, anyone who profits from the sale of copies (coders, authors, etc.) deserve such treatment.
As to a corporation's right to make money, you're right. They only have a right to compete for our money. You like it, buy it. If not, don't. Steal if that's your thing, but don't pawn it off as revolutionary or rightous.
I guess you're right, I mean "civil" countries like France or China, they would never put themselves before the rest of the world. And those poor stepped on countries, if it wasn't for the US's meddling, they'd all be recycling and holding hands.
Jon, Can you, for the benefit of the class, tell us whom you suggest would be better suited to know/have this information(genetic map, genetics in general). Should it be some counsel, some group that kept the power under lock and key. Who appoints this group? Are they theologists, scientists, moralists? All of the above and more? How do you close pandora's box? Can we afford to?
Heaven forbid they should find a cure for weirdness, Katz would loose half of his audience. Oh, those poor estranged ones that don't fit in... I wouldn't mind a cure for self-pity though.
... I couldn't help but laugh at his statement about v-chips and blocking software to "protect children from techno-driven culture." Huh?
A lot of this thread seems to suggest that this will make adding peripherals more simple, but we'll still have a problem with the drivers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is more of a toolkit addition for internet appliances, not network cards. As far as drivers go, that is up to the appliance manufacturer to design it so that "a device would be able to locate, recognize and interact with other UPnP-enabled devices."
As far as people setting up a personal linux box, this will only make future interactions with UPnP enabled devices more simple.
What I don't get is that statement about MS having no plans for Linux support?!?! UPnP is the support, not OS type.
How about: Here comes another great summer lunch opportunity. Who amongst the average high-school burger flipping crowd would be able to go from restaurant to restaurant upgrading firmware or troubleshooting this thing, or things like it. Instead of flipping burgers for minimum wage try flipping bits for considerably more...

Very well stated reply, thank you.

How much of that $337,000,000,000 was yours exactly?
John Jackson: "It's time someone had the courage to stand up and say: I'm against those things that everybody hates."
Jack Johnson: "Now, I respect my opponent. I think he's a good man. But quite frankly, I agree with everything he just said."
John Jackson: "I say your three cent titanium tax goes too far."

Strap on Legato Email Extender and Documentum, or any of the other Centera partner products, and you should have a solid solution.
They state a 99.99% uptime guarantee.

They are not neccessarily twisted pairs, and not color coded.
Look at an old 25 pair line in the middle of the run and tell me which one has your number on it.
What is causing you to be unable to restore NDMP data to a Celerra?
Are you using DAR?
NetBackup is good, but I am not sure enterprise backup is what the question is about... er... izzle?
How is it Fry's fault he was frozen?

Why don't you just leave your exchange server set to Zulu (GMT) time?
Let the end user change their desktop time as needed. This whole process seems unnecessary...
There are two parts to the solution here:
First is the aforementioned (and other) software that allows you to perform some sophisticated email archiving, and searching.
Second is the hardware product. EMC has the Centera, I am not sure what else is out there. This basically is a relatively inexpensive, ata-based, scalable solution that can provide wormdrive-rated retention of data, with some built in disaster recovery options.

Is it any shock that this "matter of fact" post was provided by an Anonymous Coward?
Thank you for the wisdom. It is only America (read USA) that has nationalistic monikers, and only American humor that makes fun of others.
It is all so clear now.

Not all important on-call work is medical either.
