I would be surprised if it's even in a rack chassis. I work with the industry segment and while micro atx cases on bread racks are the norm. Remote reboot can be a string of little boxes the will hit the reset switch and are connected with telephone cable (actually it's a pretty cool/simple hardware from a German company). Redundant PSU's sure if you want to pay extra per month for it, also check to make sure it wont get plugged into the same PDU or even use a y cable and go to the same plug.
OK I work for a lot of different leased colo providers and they ALL have this requirement since it's there hardware, yes it's in the TOS. Ever try to grab smart data off a drive, get a temp, servicing a warrant, following up on a spam complaint, etc etc etc? You don't want that to happen buy your own kit and colo it instead of renting somebody elses. At the end of the day if its your hardware your going to have to log into it at some point. If you physically have access to the box there is NOTHING you can do to stop them from getting at the data you have to trust the people with physical access to the gear. This is pretty much the equivalent of renting an apartment if the landlord needs to get in he can, whether he gives you notices first or afterward is besides the point he has to be able to protect his property.
PS you can dm crypt all you want a firewire port in back gives you DMA access to a running box you can memory dump with.
Even better directv had one thing going for them tivo, aka a DVR that works. I bought two of them for 1k each as I had had my previous SD tivo's for 8+ years. Not even 2 years later they stop providing HD to these units and cancel there contract with tivo. To continue getting HD they wanted me to fork over another 500 for a couple horrid boxes that I would never own could not expand the HD etc. The FCC was right when they required unencrypted firewire output on all this stuff. I want a cheap decoder box from these companies with an unencrypted standard digital out. You plug your tv, dvd or dvhs deck into it and be happy. Firewire is the interconnect that was there to simplify and liberate your entertainment stack hdmi and cablecard only serves to enforce you paying through the nose to the companies.
When you talking about live encoding the quality of your feed and the source material makes HUGE differences. A talking head would look fine at those bit rates. Content the refrained from dissolves and zooms will also look OK. I have worked with broadcast guys they have these encoding hell tapes, mostly zooming in and out onto a field of flowers blowing in the wind. That sort of thing will become an ugly pixilated mess really quick. Real broadcast HD is about 45-50 mbs mpeg2 (1080i) and it looks wonderful. For example I watched broadcast (antenna in the attic) of the last Olympics and could pause it (HD tivo) and pick out people on the stands in a wide shot, that's what HD is supposed to look like.
No he is not, if they want to pay him to document and he agrees to take the money sure but once you don't work there it's there problem. If they were on a document he should have left it at the place of business or returned it to them (corp property) but something intangible is not property it's knowledge. I am not sure this is what happened in this case. Most states you have 30 days to return corp property once you have been terminated and they can not hold your paychecks etc till you do. Now if you had a documented policy requiring hit by a bus password safes, and audited them (the once a year go though and change them) and the person neglected to do so you might be able to sue him for the damages do to his neglect or willful destruction of them.
Specific to this case it's the cops and the DA having a pissing contest and not wanting to loose.
I am American and I do call internationally I just use a standards compliant VoIP phone rather than some proprietary network. It works with my standards complaint PBX that has multiple interfaces into the VoIP and PSTN networks.
Sure if your really moving onto the next subject. At the level of press button and stuff happens is nearly never enough. People that spend 30 years on a subject are generally not consuming knowledge they are discovering it something that's vastly harder to do.
Actually yes but I find those to be part of a well rounded applied science education, but they rarely need inside a survival scenario. It's also something I know how to do so I will of course pass that onto my son. It can be useful to know how to fix a survival knife.
Cogs is about being a complacent consumer. Teaching somebody about how to be inquisitive is a skill that will server them well in life. How many people do you know that spend there time learning new useful things?
India has the same issue as the US did in the dot com days at far as the computer field. People got into it because it paid well and there were jobs. Most of them did not do well because it's just that a job. They did not have any driver to make them continue to learn and expand there knowledge. Pretty much they are the office space sort of guys who like there cube and do exactly enough to stay employed. India has this far worse, tech jobs are seen as a way out and up, people get into it with no particular aptitude, the teachers teach because they can not do and generally everybody is putting there hand out to these people that are trying to better themselves and there family.
The best quote from a native I got was the country was screwed up because if a man thinks stealing a street sign is the difference between death tonight and death tomorrow there is no potential punishment that will stop him aside from death right now. That breeds a culture of do whatever you think you can get away with. Other quote was a contract worker 20 years back that told me his wife may not have the luxuries of a western wife but in many ways her life was better. He went on to say that his home does not have a washing machine, for what it would cost to buy and run they pay less to have people come and wash there clothes for them. Pretty much all the household tasks were offloaded to the poor and that was cheaper than using modern machines to do the work yourself. They had the entertainment and educational modern machines but not the time/labor saving ones.
As other have demonstrated that's not very hard. The point was that memorizing a multiplication table to some arbitrary size and that's all you know. Giving kids tools to break apart a problem and get the correct answer might take longer but has the better outcome that it can work on any problem not just something they memorized in there times tables. The sooner we get away from education making cogs and instead trying to make thinkers the better. The question why seems to be lost in our schools and it's the most important.
Black box does X is never enough knowledge. That would assume that you can only fit a certain amount of knowledge. While that may be technically true the limiting factor seems to be time learn not space. Consumers/Cogs/Sheep do not need to know, strangely I do not want to fit into that category nor would I want my child to.
I do not expect that the school will teach farming of foraging. I will teach the basics of both as part of wilderness survival, something I learned and then taught as a child/young man.
Multiplication is just a shorthand for adding. The child needs to learn how to do arithmetic in there head with reasonably sized numbers and on paper with arbitrary sized numbers. Memorization is the worst way to understand anything it makes good factory worker drone bee's but not much else. Understanding why something works and being made to apply that knowledge should be the goal. Not memorize your 4's multiplication table there will be a quiz tomorrow, and forget about it next week.
Homeschooling can be great, right now my son goes to private school at least they try to teach there.
Random I/O is hard to read cache it is very write cache friendly. Modern systems already have huge a huge read cache called all unused memory. A huge nonvolatile write cache can do wonders for random write I/O. Databases and the like can often write the same block multiple times in succession over a long period only the most recent needs to be written to disk. I/O can be reordered to be more sequential helping seek times (yes drives already do this but with 32 megs vs gigs of flash), take this further and the flash could literally write all pending changes from the beginning to the end of the drive and then start again making all drive write IO sequential (Baring internal drive sector remapping, of a need to read uncached data).
Taken out back and shot is significantly to good for the group of idiots that did this to him. Problem is most of them are probably elected and cant be sued personally. In the end I hope he never has to work again as that might be problematic.
If there in international water there is one of two things to come into play they are flying some country's flag and they can police them as they see fit. If not any nation can police them as they see fit.
I buy this all the time. 20 Amp feeds that get billed as if I used 20 amps all month long. It's not cheap (my house averages 5 amps as a comparison) so it's about 600 a month in the north east.
Unfortunately the technical solution to that is generally illegal, you can not use a cattle prod on the school administrators when they do something stupid.
My school system used something very simple the bus driver knew ever student that was supposed to be on there bus (it's what 240 kids if they have three runs of 80 morning and afternoon) and paid attention while they were boarding. Driving bus was generally a soccer mom job, I guess it's more of an upgrade from McDonalds now.
Lets see a group of people get together to protest something. Larger groups will have militant offshoots. As those become larger the probability of a riot goes up. Riots are by nature violent events.
In your specific case violence had to be implied to those attempting to stop the march. Those courts orders were enforced by threat of violence, and backed up by the establishments armed forces. In the end a judge was required to use there authority to allow the march. Lets not forget the balance of power the government needs to be fearful of the populace top balance the fear the populace must have of the government to allow a functional society.
I do stand corrected, though that did come out after my last civics class. It does still hold that any civil cases that would impact his duties as president still have to be stayed will after his term.
This is a cop out, the nonviolent method you describe just takes you out of the conflict. The remaining people are forced to defend you alternatively If everybody in the world did this the one person that does not can kill everybody else or take over. Your solution only works if everybody buys into it and thus you have a herd unfortunately not everybody will ever be that docile.
That notion is the foundation of democracy. The majority forces it's will on everybody. We try to balance that with the concept of fundamental rights that can not be impinged upon to protect the minorities.
As to your second point it's the if we get rid of all the weapons the guy with a biggest stick takes over, you can not make laws around that problem the state have to employ a stick (police) to enforce the will of the majority on everybody.
For a static test like that not implementing physical safeguards was careless. Like any other range the weapons do not get armed until they are pointing downrange and that range is clear of anything that should not be fired upon. In this case a simple restraining device of two posts to stop it from traversing backwards would have sufficed.
War is ultimately the only way to inflict a nations will upon another. Lets not even get started with the fallacy of you cant gain land though war or a world court etc. All laws have to be enforced ultimately via violence. Throw religion into the mix and it's a ugly irrational thing.
Want to avoid war find the solutions to our 2 core problems the need for energy and resources. As long as it's easier to get take either of those from somebody else than get it yourself you will have war. Only two solutions is fission/fusion and space colonization / mining. We have one but are afraid to use it and the other is a ways off and under funded.
The president is protected from civil suits while in office period. Elected officials are generally protected from civil suits for that things they do in official capacity. This does not stop them from suing the office as a means of redress, but the person is protected.

Horror of bon bon eating house wives video chatting with each other just ran though my head the humanity of it.
Maybe somebody can go bribe her to hawk some other standards compliant voip app?
There was a good reason to use skype?
