As an MM, I am not sure I would really want to work for someone who finds the pictures of me holding a tray of shots or chilling with my cross-dressing friends offensive. If I did, I wouldn't post that stuff online, ever. I guess there are the ignorant, but not to be confused with the willfully disregarding.
We moved our development and production systems to AWS in 2008 and have been quite happy. It has allowed us to grow and scale with load on production and quickly test things in development. There a few things to keep in-mind. First, if you know your usage pattern and can drop some money upfront then utilize the reserved instances to save some money. Second, you will need a script management system of some kind to run on the virtual servers at boot/shutdown, I recommend using something like Rightscale or Scalr. Most importantly, don't do it without some experienced help for the setup, a day of a consultant's or system admin's time to walk through your migration plan with you will save you a lot of help down the road. Lastly, aws has a cost estimator that is quite helpful.
A couple people already brought up the point of if the X-Box will be a lot like windows, people will right their own emulators for it. So i ask you this, who really needs microsoft to develop an emulateor?
took me a little while to realize....lacking of caffene... But i did start to realize something was wrong when i read the "coke" label and on the weapon's name. But dismissed that for some reason...like why would they Slashdot it if it werent real typa thing. -DarkSage
Russia is known for its "inside" and "outside" views. People on the outside are only given specific information that is ment for people not living in russia. This is true nowdays just as in the KGB days. For example there is a news television station in moscow called NTV, and there is an international Russian Moscow news TV station called NTV. They are both owned by the same company and one brodcasts almost the same material as the other, key word in that is almost. Both channels are in russian, and the international is broadcast through a satallite. Why two? Probably same reason the Moscow times webiste is in english. 1. It can be accessed by those outside russia and there for can have an creat an opinion either bad or good And they have the power to alter it. 2. Their "Free Speach" and "Free Press" arent all free. Free in English means free. Free in russian means free aslong as it does not show us in a bad light or contradict the government. -DarkSage
I just finished reading 1984 when i read this article and it did not surprise me a bit that there are this many privacy violations going on in Russia. There are bills in Russia that if passed will make anyone thinking of creating a website have to register and get it aproved by the government. And another one which would make all Russian ISPs have to register with the government where the Russian burocrats could have control over which websites can be accessed. Ofcouse this is not law yet, i dont think, but it does show how much Russia is reverting back to its old KGB ways. Also the owner of the Russian international TV station NTV which broughtcasts around the world was imprisoned a little while ago, i have not heard what happened to him but i am sure it was not fun. What does all this mean for the US? Well i dont really know. However, 1984 is a great -maybe a little overstated - example of what could happen in Russia in the times to come. And if it can happen in russia it can just as well happen here, infact who is to say that it isnt? The NSA or whoever could just be a little better at hiding it.

Yeah, I am gonna go ahead and have to disagree with that. Non-statistical personal experiences are worth just about as much as opinions.

Wonder if i can cut 1k somewhere to make it 66.6k just for fun.
Its a personal site, with just a picture of me, and lots of text. Runs Drupal 7 theme based on Stark.
