    The TOS protects them on one side and this automation comes from an agreement with large rights holders. Pretty much Google worked a deal with some big rights holders automatically take down content or do a revenue share deal. It just prooves that the DCMA is broken by design with just about any other court order third parties get paid "reasonable" fee's. I say "reasonable" as I remember charging several hundred bucks an hour for gathering data for the FBI and SS that last time I ran a hosting company.

    Happy ting user, they have announced byod so most print phones will be able to be moved over soon. They also charge about cost for the phones and have some good deals like a 70 buck decent smartphone. It's sprints network and there is no data roaming for the downside.

    Please for the love of do not have it be part of the building AC especially in a machine shop. You have solvents, grease, lubricant, metal bits etc in that shop air. Building AC is not designed to run in winter (assuming you don't live where AC is required year round). The split systems are an easy install and only run a few k at the low end. Do make sure there is nothing going through the roof or carrying liquids above the room. Do try and get it on an exterior wall and have backup fans installed though the wall a couple hundred bucks of fan can cool the room well enough when the AC is broken. Depending on the type of machines you expect long term fiber is always a good thing immune to EMI from plasma cutters and the like. Good door locks that log per person to the security system is a good idea same with camera's.

    You do realize that fpga's were a lot more expensive and slower than a similar asic? A decade ago gigabit ports were high end layer3 switches were still a new idea and pushing the limits of what could be done. There customers wanted a check box and the companies gave it to them ipv6 works ont he devices just not line rate. If your still running stuff like cisco 6500 with sup 2's that kit is a decade old any only needs a replacement sup to enable ipv6 on the whole box or shift it to a L2 only role. Remember that at the time routing lookups of a 128 bit address was fairly hard, a lot of devices made the assumption that no network address would ever be longer than 64 bits and just dropped the lower 64 bits when making routing decisions.

    Firmware sure but those asics that make networking kit fast not so much. A lot of the first gen stuff punted ipv6 stuff to the cpu fine if you just want the line item but worthless if you want to actually use it for production.

  13. Re:Author obviously knows nothing about the Navy on Why Aircraft Carriers Still Rule the Oceans · · Score: 1

    You do realize that in blue water the screen extends about 400km. Nothing possibly unfriendly is allowed within that area unsupervised. At best your 500 motor boats are target practice. You are talking about 5 hours for motor boats that can sustain 80kph if the carrier was standing still, and it's safe to assume it will move away from any large threat until it's dealt with.. You also need something decently massive to get though the hull below the water line or to ships stores.

    They are all just a bunch of people that believe in something that has not be proven. Honestly grow a pair even if a deity shows up tomorrow and says worship me why should you? Because they will punish you at some later date for disobeying them with the free will they were supposed to have given you? Punishing somebody for anything for eternity is morally wrong, especially when you have the power to prevent it. Hopefully we can evolve out of the fantasy of some all powerful parental figure.

    Sounds good the hours prohibition can be tricky used to work at a DOT and they were often more trouble than it was worth. Ground loops do a fine job at getting all this info but cant get lic plates (as currently configured) and they are nearly impossible to detect or tamper with by your average joe.

    Big issue with HOV lanes is some idiot let busses and cars unable to keep up with the flow of traffic go in there and slow them down. Would love to see a HOV lane with 85+ mph get the people that are helping there faster. You need to make up for time spent in the commuter parking lot etc. Dynamic signs make sense but often are adjusted very low to avoid litigation which is something various legislation can deal with fixing.

    You mean you have reservations about stock shipping AMD server procs? If you want education you want to be able to do things like artificially inflate the latency of the linking network that's easy to do on VM's. Test the effectiveness of different storage methods vs the type of workload. Looks at nodes with different processing capabilities. Honestly I find it amazing hard to fathom that it took a whole group of people to stack 64 SBC's load them with an OS and connect them up to a switch. This is a mornings work for an intern.

    Thanks for the miserable git been awhile since somebody called me names on the internet I'll try and be offended. I did not talk about the prof outside of mentioning that it was cool that be built it out of legos with his son.

    40 More or the right minutes yea I do. Lessened commute time often means more time with children, since there bed times are not particularly alterable they can not just say up later to compensate like another adult can. Here is a more concrete example.

    I used to commute 2.5 hours each way into NYC, I gave this up before my son was born as it would have been untenable to not be able to spend any time with him during the work week. I did take a 50% pay cut to work in the country vs the city. Amtrack is proposing a 200+ mph train that would be stopping at a city near me and get me into the city in about 15-20 minutes tack on 10 minutes on ether side and now the city is a reasonable commute or about the same as what I do now. I could care less if it's less or more environmentally friendly, I really would not care if the thing ran on baby seals and would pay extra if it ran on the tears of the sea Sheppard crews. Less time wasted is the primary driver of alternatives to driving. Not that I mind that trains are a lot more efficient than driving but that's purely a byproduct.
