A little long winded but I think you've got the right idea of how this SHOULD work if the government wants to get involved. But of course this would never happen- its just too damn efficient.
Well said. And exactly. These people just like the sound of their voice.
And they are crying about the one government agency that probably does the most (useful) stuff per dollar. NASA has done pretty awesome things with a shit budget.
I love how the members of one party think they do no wrong and solemnly believe everything bad stems only from the opposing party. It seems as though only recently are people seeing the truth... behind every good deed is countless horrible deeds. Swallow the red pill or tbe blue, either way you end up asleep.
When I was a young teen (14 or so) my good friends parents decided to go tbe ex-patriot. They moved permantly to mexico. At the time I thought it was dispicable turning their back on their country. I get it now... they saw the signs earlier than the rest of us
I don't have actual experience, but I'm pretty sure as long as you can compartmentalize thoughts sufficiently, you'll probably pass the poly easy. Hear the question, don't listen to it, don't break it down, don't analyze it, and keep your mind away from your answer and why you're saying what you're about to say, and just say it. I feel the danger lies with if you start to slip up with the compartmentalizing technique and you accidently "think" on the question and/or answer even for a fraction of a second - my guess is, these are what cause those little needles to register spikes.
I tried to make it very clear, I have no actual experience, this is all just a guess.
Think about this for a second..... do you think there are very many people whom, by the age of 30, haven't broken over 100 laws (truthfully its probably absurdly higher) ? On average, a person probably breaks a law, however obscure, many times a day.
From a reliable source I can also say that you can fail out from reasonable mistaken discrepancies. You see, tbe length of tbe questionarre is no coincidence. They dont want you to be able to recall what you put down as an answer originally and if you originally said you had moved 4 times in the last 10 years and during the poly you remembered a 5th move, and simply just forgotten originally, and you later say 5.... will easily disqualify you.
Their method is flawed and im sure they've disqualified potentially amazing would-be agents over ridiculously stupid technicalities.
I dont think you should have gotten down modded because you make a valid point about their apparent scoring system and then you give a nice opinion based input that all make good sense.
This is just my personal opinion and im not saying this is the correct answer. This is my answer...
Best distro overall of 2014? Arch Linux. The distro's affinity for clean and clear scripts on top of the way you build your system never ceases to teach me new things all the time.
Best distro for the new user of 2014? Mint. Clean and simple package management.
Best distro for business servers of 2014? CentOS 7. It is very well polished, rock stable, and dead simple Windows Active Directory integration.
I lub Linux =B
While im not saying its okay to dig up personal information through google searches and then freaking out the girl by sharing the information the creep dug up, I do find it concerning that she is victim blaming google for finding this information that she was responsible for making public in the first place. Google doesn't make available information that you hadn't posted online in the first place.
ZFS not liking raid is not a con but more an alernative. ZFS does what raid controllers do but in software. Plenty of advantages not the least of which it does raid faster, uses your ram as a very large cache, does not have the raid 5 write-hole bug. Would you want to run a hardware raid off of another hardware raid controller? ZFS has fantastic performance. It does love memory but it uses it well. Ive been using ZFS on Archlinux for over two years and have had 0 zfs failures. The only expandability issue people run into is when you want to increase your zvol device it has to match the size of the others in the same volume. Btrfs has advantages in this area as its been designed with releveling in mind but zfs generally outperforms everywhere else.
Correct but I think the reason there's so much pushback is because it wont be long before it's not just an alternative with backward compatibility and it becomes the only way. Stepping us in that direction.
What us geeks dislike about it is much the same reason we dislike systemd: its an abstract layer between you and the configuration of your services/daemons. We like init.d in that we can script those daemons and even add on to those init scripts if we choose. Where as windows services puts this wall between you and that sweetness. And systemd is pushing us in that direction and OP's last comment in the summary is ringing more and more true.
Awful and mediocre programmers (the majority) are trying their hardest to make their software as inefficient as possible so as to completely or mostly eliminate any advantages we get from the latest and greatest technologies.
Man, I'd say we are leaving the point where the bad programmers can slow these machines down and we're not looking back. The downside to this is that it's going to fully encourage those bad programmers to continue their bad practices since "their program runs great!" (because of the hardware, not their good coding skillz)!
to be fair... In my job, It does me very well to have 10+ VMs running on my desktop machine 24/7. Sandy Bridge-E (3930K, hex-core) was a god send for this. The 64 GB of RAM plays no small part as well, of course. I believe I left an E-8600 Core 2 Duo and 4 GB of RAM for this particular upgrade. Needless to say, for this workload, it was a fantastic upgrade. Obviously, there's been no value in leaving SB-E for IVB-E or now Haswell-E as the performance jump just is so minimal. Though, some of the cool things they've put on the silicon in these last 2 gens are enticing, but just not enough to leave for.
I'd say the coolest thing about Haswell-E is the X99 chipset. That chipset is drool worthy at 10 6Gb/s SATA ports, butt loads of PCIE lanes, and DDR4 support.

NASA doesn't need this place and Google has some cool ideas they want to lease it for and this is unethical? What?
I wasn't really considering "where" they went, just that they did. Mexico certainly wouldnt be my choice

Is there already kits for this available? Id like to read their claimed output the gravity turbine

Haha, technically... Apple just disqualified every FBI Agent that owns an iphone....
drink very moderately
DISQUALIFIED! NEXT?
Yes it is. It leads to horrible, horrible, things like ginseng! http://www.realfarmacy.com/doz...

this is funny, because it's true.
