    I'd be in favor of this treatment personally - I can't afford armed personal security on my salary. As long as they follow the law and don't violate my actual privacy by doing things like trespassing, peeping in windows, and so on heck yes. I want a minimum of a 4 person armed force, county deputies preferred.

  3. Re:Reliability on 8TB Drives Are Highly Reliable, Says Backblaze (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    I was too brief. I was trying to say that anyone who thinks the "real value is the data on the drive" as the GP did and is still going to put that data on a single drive without some redundancy or at least backup has already lost the plot no matter how reliable they believe their single drive solution to be. The folks at BB have the right idea IMO.

    I'm not disputing this (or confirming it) but that would lead to a pretty humorous definition of surface for say, the moon or mars.

    Sort of seems like the cyber version of an evidence chain of custody issue to me.

    Because firearms almost never fail-deadly and murder is already illegal. I would be in favor of mandatory firearm safety training in K-12 though.

    Depends if they are all of the sort that eat the seed corn; I would bet not all would just immediately make chicken soup with a small chicken windfall.

  20. You think most poor people are poor because they just don't feel like getting a job?

    There are a growing number of Americans who are incapable or unwilling, or both, of producing anything of significant commercial value. It's often due to one or more failures on their part and it's disingenuous to argue otherwise, but leaving it at that is not a solution, nor is this the sole cause. Some are genuinely victims of circumstance, biological or social.

    I'm no leftist or liberal, but a solution like the FairTax, where everyone is taxed a flat rate based on consumption and gets a minimal check every month (no means testing) to help them make ends meet if they are a citizen, is not a horrible solution. I personally think the FairTax proposal is too small, I'd like to see something more like 25% and $1K per month, but we could start someplace.

  22. Re:32-bit visual studio on Microsoft Declines To Make a 64-Bit Visual Studio (uservoice.com) · · Score: 1

    There's no requirement that int be 32 bits in C++. The 32 vs 64 bit-ness of the platforms is address space. In the standards doc (which is the law for C++) int is defined as being able to store values in a range without truncation. They can be big enough to do so, or any larger size, but the guidance is they should be of a size that's efficient for the hardware to manipulate. Some old Cray systems used 64 bit int a long time ago and in fact had 64 bit char as well - perfectly legal C and C++.

    In a few cases, however in a lot of places places where it looks like that, like for instance the directory iteration stuff, they only pack the current node into the data member that's sized to MAX_PATH, so it's still OK.
