Yep to compete, "clean" athletes would no longer have a choice but to join their doping counter parts. Doping is a lot more complex than just steroids though, one can argue that taking a performance multi vitamin introduces non-natural performance enhancements, it's however the more extreme stuff that's banned.
This. It is very illegal to have doors lock on power failure. It is against any fire code for one, and if something does happen I believe there's a criminal negligence charge filed against the owner of that building.
The solution to your downtime that i've seen is to have a backup ISP basically with a dynamic DNS failover. Not simple by any means, but do-able. However hosting offsite at least eliminates the dynamic DNS failover piece. It's also true an entire data center can go down, so a part of an advanced redundancy plan for that is to have colo's spread out in geography. I really hope on a business line you don't pay by the gigabit, that would be vicious. And lastly, it makes perfect sense to have 1 local server in many cases with that being... the file server, preferably replicating to a colo for redundancy.
What should've happened in your case though, if the 99% guarantee was in your contract, is you should've called them on it and been compensated for breach of contract by the ISP.
It's not 100%, but business class lines guarantee 99.9% connectivity. Not really a concern, or the cloud concept would've died long ago. Nobody walks over and pops in physical cds into their servers anymore I hope.
Sir... the drones you see flying over your head do not monitor if you're speeding. They are merely ensuring you're not a terrorist by adding your license plate, name, and the current speed you're going into our ultra secure database. Nothing to see here, move along.
If my posts upset you... good!, I hope they make you turn red in the face and maybe even cry a little. I'm not trying to sow discontent though, only a different way of looking at things, I find it hilarious how mad it makes some people that somebody should think different from them. The reason I said troll was because OP nit-picked my entire post to completely get off the topic of porn into serial killers because he's too incompetent to actually counter any of the other points. In fact, anybody talking about serial killers in this thread has simply missed the point.
Then again you sound pretty lame too with your direct attack on my person rather than post.
*shrug* philosophical mumbo jumbo. You make too many assumptions for me to bother with a counter point. Also, by your logic, if somebody smokes and lives to 90, does that mean smoking is good? If so, puff up my good sir.
Studies during the 70s on the internet's pornography effects can't be relevant. Maybe they studied nudie mags or something.
You're also right that not everybody who views porn gets addicted, however...
I think you're missing my point, I'm saying the law is horrible and stupid and rather than pass the law, fix society's underlying ills that drive the want for such legislature in the first place (WHY are people turning to online porn?).
In regards to nothing good coming out of it I guess if you look hard enough you can find good in just about anything, but overall trend wise I'd say the negative outweighs the positive, wouldn't you?
And that's from a simple google search. Saying it does nothing is like saying PTSD is imaginary. All fine and dandy till the PTSD guy is pointing a loaded m-16 at you (Fort Hood).
What about the studies that say that online porn leads into more extreme online porn and addiction in a snowball effect? That's the true danger.
I think we can ignore the studies from either side of the argument and apply a little common sense here in that nothing good can come of it for us as a species.
Doesn't mean they shouldn't be held 100% responsible.
Only for the feminist portion of the repressed sexuality, they ARE NOT solely responsible for it, they did throw gasoline on the fire though and are responsible for that.
Look no further than China for solutions on this. Pretty sure they've "solved" their internet porn problem by oppressing the rest of the rights of the people and laughing at privacy. That's the chill factor of propositions like this, it's not what the bill entails, but the steps that would be necessary to get there, and how somebody can easily build on it to create a police state in a couple more fine pieces of legislation.
I'm 1/2 kidding, but it really is a serious issue what the feminists have done to the image of sexuality in the last few decades. I don't think they even predicted the rift they'd create. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be held 100% responsible.
I do full acknowledge that they are not the ONLY issue, and a bigger and deeper issue is our puritan roots that I hinted at with prostitution as many can argue that that is illegal in the states due to those roots.
What's really crazy is when you start getting into repressed sexuality and our trend of serial killers. Did any of them have a girlfriend? Would the victims still be alive if we had legal prostitutes? Is the puritan god going to bring them back when we pray? It's a hard tie in, but not to be overlooked.
I think a better strategy would have been to offer GNOME 2 like functionality in GNOME 3
I think common sense would have been to offer GNOME 2 like functionality in GNOME 3.
What's a little bit of functionality in place of slapping your own code in place of someone else's, surely the code will be at least be 100% better right?
They can make it hard for the common folk to access it, I don't think anybody can realistically aim for 100% on something like this no matter how incompetent. It'd be interesting to get a glimpse of statistics into a move like this by comparing the blocking of TPB and what that's done to piracy in the UK.
Now that that's explained... lets consider the ethics of this: it's Orwellian oppressive. I can see where they mean well, and I think that online porn has massive ramifications to society that we have only partially begun to experience... but... I also think that they'd accomplish more by shipping the feminists that drive men to online porn in the first place off to an island... end of story. What about legalizing prostitution??? My point being out of control online porn use is a consequence of modern society's relationship between the sexes not an instigator to be hunted with fire.
Some can make the argument that online porn is easily accessible, but I don't know anybody that would ever pick porn over real sex, and I'll go on to say that porn's been available far longer than the internet's been around.
Not to point out the elephant in the room, but... we're talking thousands of years here vs under a century. The frequency and severity of named storms has increased. Temperatures aren't what I remember them to be.
I think the big question is can we scale our pollution back enough in a timely manner and what the long term effects are of doing so or not doing so.
I don't think the ocean's gonna rise up and wipe out NYC or anything, but we are accelerating a change in weather.

Isn't that more in the DBA realm than sysadmin?
That's pretty much how most of the fire code's been establish up to this point.

Infinity sounds about right...
When I clicked the title... I thought they had replaced the shrew's spine with metal. I was expecting a date for when they could replace mine. Damn!

It's ironic you should bring my UID into play Mr. Coward.

That's the 1% of serial killers, the majority were sexually repressed.
So we should look at the 1% of serial killers and ignore the rest who do fall under my comments (especially recently)?
Nice try troll.

Just to clarify so I don't get nit-picked:
Doesn't mean they shouldn't be held 100% responsible.
Only for the feminist portion of the repressed sexuality, they ARE NOT solely responsible for it, they did throw gasoline on the fire though and are responsible for that.

Love it! Wear your material tin-foil hats next time you visit one of these evil shops people!
You're right, its not just the puritans, but you'll find that religion and sexual repression go hand in hand. The puritans are just the US example.
