Except that's not a political call, that's just fraud. Better news reports said the contact information was invalid, and there's no such person working for the claimed newspaper. It was simply someone trying to stir up opposition to the newspaper.
The big reason a company wouldn't want to allow contractors and other miscellaneous sites under a subdomain of the main domain is how browsers treat domains. Cookie access, cross-site scripting, etc. could all be problems, unless you change the main website to also act under a subdomain, and make sure everything is restricted properly.
I have a weather radio that NOAA can trigger for warnings, and if I want real-time tracking information (like while I'm hiding in an interior room due to a tornado warning), local radio broadcasters simulcast the local TV station's audio feeds. Much more reliable, and doesn't require apps.
As someone that started in school for an engineering degree and later landed in IT, IT is not "engineering" (it can be the T in STEM but it is not the E).
How many bills did Rep Lofgren introduce/vote for that would have increased the IT budget for the UC system? If they are like most places, IT is considered a "cost sink" and has to struggle to just keep an even budget (as costs increase). You can't hardly blame them for doing what they feel is necessary to maintain the service they are expected to provide with insufficient resources.
For larger buildings, the first thing they'll do is shut off the power. That's the reason data centers usually have the "big red button"; that is there to make it "safe" for firefighters. The 240VAC main in a typical house (at least in the US) is much less dangerous than the high-voltage DC found in electric cars.
Also, while you can get a short by spraying water across live electrical lines, they are not liable to explode like lithium batteries.
Were they overly cautious? Possibly. Are there legitimate concerns about how to deal with the electric cars? Yes. Should they be handled with better training? Also yes.
If none of your processes require more than 4Gb of virtual memory, there is no reason â" other than the developers' laziness â" to go 64-bit.
First, addresses/pointers aren't normally the largest chunk of code or data memory usage, so the include in RAM usage is far less than double.
Also, in the specific case of the Intel x86 architecture (which is what this is about, not general 32 bits vs. 64 bits), there is a significant reason to move from i386 to x86_64. The i386 architecture has a very small CPU register set, compared to most modern CPU architectures (and some instructions can only use certain registers). That means lots more things require memory loads/stores, which is bad for performance. When AMD created x86_64, they added a bunch of registers (and got rid of most of the usage restrictions), so 64 bit code performance is better.
I saw his Friday show in Huntsville, AL. Some people around me were taking pictures and/or video occasionally during the show, but nothing distracting to me (since the backdrop was dark, their screens weren't particularly bright).
I don't get trying to video a significant part of a performance though, especially with a cell phone; just like some people on vacations, you end up looking at a small blurry screen instead of the actual event/place/whatever in front of you.
I saw Weird Al Yankovic this past weekend. Entering the venue, we were specifically told that we could use cell phones if we liked. Part of his show involved everybody getting their cell phone out and waving them over their head - we all have cell phones, so c'mon, let's get real!
The majority of satellites use chemical rockets for orbit changes and station keeping. When the relatively small amount of propellant is used up, so is the satellite (even if it is otherwise still functional). Using ion propulsion instead could increase the life of satellites, which reduces costs.
While I agree with you, the "public" primaries are also there to keep our choices from being completely controlled by back-room deals.
I'd prefer to abolish party primaries and allow more open general election ballot access (although I don't think having 20+ people on the ballot for a single position is necessarily an improvement, so some legitimate signature minimums or something should exist). Go to a ranked voting system, where you can rank up to 3 candidates, and you rarely would need a run-off.
The Repubocrats and Demlicans would never allow that though. In my state, the Libertarian Party got to "major party" status for one election cycle (where their governor candidate was "featured" at the top and had the "vote party line" option); the R&D powerhouse quickly got the state laws changed to eliminate that competition as soon as possible. Anything other than politics and they'd be considered an illegal cartel and shut down for restraint of trade...
Except they don't have a reputation of producing quality cars. After Consumer Reports gave such a glowing review, they pulled their recommendation. Surveys of owners of cars that had been on the road a bit caused CR to give it a "worse than average" reliability rating. Some of the issues were specific to Teslas (charging system failures, drivetrain problems) as well as normal issues (rattles, squeaks, leaks, door handles).
A company trying to rapidly ramp up production is bound to have more issues than before, at least for a while; if they can't get door handles working and sunroofs sealed now, what will happen when they're trying to satisfy an impatient public?
The FBI requested chat logs; that doesn't mean that Microsoft actually has them. Having seen subpoenas and such (guess the "and such") to ISPs/telcos before, they always request everything they can think of, but that's just the request. It is perfectly legal to reply with "the requested data is not available."
Yeah, but if you put your laser at the L2 Lagrange point, with suitable station keeping (since L2 isn't stable), and can run it continuously, you are covered.
Red Hat sued SCO in 2003 for false advertising, and that case was stayed pending resolution of the IBM case. Is that still pending (and can Red Hat try to get damages)?
This. My gaming friends and I are not hard-core gamers, so we went with consoles. A couple of them have been on Xbox Live since the original Xbox first came out, so we went with 360s years ago and are now moving to XbOnes.
If you are going with a gaming setup to play solo, look at what supports the most games you are interested in (since there are exclusives on PC, Xbox, and Playstation). If you are gaming with friends, see what they're getting.
Welcome to the 1970 or so plan for the Space Shuttle. A flyback booster was in the original concept, but it didn't pan out. Now, materials engineering and manufacturing processes have improved dramatically since then, so maybe something is feasible today, but I have my doubts.

History fail; IBM used the Intel 8088 CPU in the original PC, not the 8086.
Most likely due to limited space. Libraries aren't infinite, so every new book has to displace an old one.

WWVB is VLF, not HF, and you wouldn't get much by listening to it (since it is a binary protocol at one bit per second).
Maybe you just mean plain WWV?
This sounds like where the T-virus starts...

I suggest you go search for "Weird Al we all have cellphones".

Comcast has had defined caps (250G then 300G) in some markets as a "test" for a while (including mine, for 3-4 years now IIRC).

It is reasonable, if rather than using easy-to-type commands such as "ls" or "dir", you like "ListDirectoryEntriesInOrderOfName".

Yeah, but if you put your laser at the L2 Lagrange point, with suitable station keeping (since L2 isn't stable), and can run it continuously, you are covered.
You mean, like it has been since they introduced it? You can turn it on/off from their app, their website, and/or via text messages.
Red Hat sued SCO in 2003 for false advertising, and that case was stayed pending resolution of the IBM case. Is that still pending (and can Red Hat try to get damages)?
That would be a terrible idea, and would discourage minor party and independent candidates even more than the current two-party scam.
