Simple. Because political correctness and spineless coward politicians prevents European countries from doing anything that would in anyway inconvenience the islam enemy that is already heavily infiltrated in many European societies and upper establishment. Those brave enough to stand up and speak out are quickly labeled racist, compared to Hitler or otherwise framed so their worries don't count. Muslims have made it an art to label themselves 'victim' of every attempt to stop their sick ideology. They even go as far as trying to change the laws so criticism on their fascist ideology will be made illegal.
Europe is lost. I tell my kids to move to another country as far away as they can, and if they find a place that isn't infested with islam, set up defenses.
I actually bought a license for VMWare 1.0 when it came out, dates back to 1/7/1999. My V2.0 license is from 2000. I also still have the executables from back then. Hmmm. Wonder if I can get them to run on today's Linux kernels.
Which actually shows a prime issue with modern data and executables. There are a growing number of external dependencies. Stuff that is only accessible if DRM keys are available online, or when license activation servers are up and running. I have some stuff that only runs on Windows-XP. Even though I have a valid license, I may not be able to re-install it in 2025 or beyond, even in a backward compatible VM environment.
You mean a subset of people who consider themselves to be part of a religion.
It's not the subset that are the problem. It is the 1.2 Billion followers that do NOT raise their voice against these atrocities that worry me. Muslims do not stand next to non-muslims to declare these subset as idiots, *that* is what worries me.
A recent survey in the Dutch IT marketplace on Tweakers.net confirmed that COBOL is the highest paying programming language. Not because it is hot, but because the average age of programmers with COBOL skills is so much higher. There are no COBOL programmers on a starter salary, so obviously the average is higher
Ask AWS for a quote to restore those 48TB. No really, please so. And then come back and tell us how the math worked out.
Some of our customers had calculated that AWS and tape were on par from a storage perspective. AWS perhaps even a bit cheaper. But any and all benefit is gone the instant they needed to restore anything substantial. Think multiples of $10K...
Tape is great for archive purposes. It would be a shame if LTO dies. The biggest threat to LTO is the lack of vendors developing drives. At this time only very few companies do R&D for tape devices. IBM, HP and Oracle are the only serious players.
Oracle develops only Enterprise class drives (T10K), not LTO. The market for those drives is quite small, which means the R&D cost needs to be recovered from a relatively low volume. That makes them bl**dy expensive.
HP develops LTO. They have to do R&D for LTO only, as they have no enterprise class drives. LTO is considered commodity so margins are too low to spend a lot on R&D. They will therefor struggle to be cost effective.
IBM develops both an enterprise class (Jaguar) and LTO tape drives. From a tech perspective, IBM are in the best position, as they can develop new technology for their enterprise drives, recoup cost in that segment, and then commoditize the technology in their LTO drives. Unfortunately IBM no longer wants to be a hardware company.
This does not bode well for tape technology in general. I've made a good living from it writing software for tape drives, but I guess all good things come to an end.
.. and the only reason they are the same speed is because it's your source that determines the limit, not the destination. A decent LTO-6 tape drive will outpace any set of harddisks behind regular RAID controllers.
Interesting observation that black snow is 'thanks to human activity', so near to active volcanoes spewing dust, rocks, lava etc. But no, must be us humans.
At one time the tagline for Slashot was "News for nerds, stuff that matters".
This stuff matters, but adding an explanations for the impact of solar flares on RF communication makes it obvious that Slashdot is no longer for nerds. Sad..
A single helicopter already turns heads and if it hovers for too long, people will complain about the noise. How do you expect this to work when hundreds of drones are buzzing over our heads every day? People will get very aggressive and drones will be downed in any way possible.
Until there's a silent anti-gravity system (McFly, are you listening?), general use of drones will not take off..
It very much is, unless you work for the Dutch government or the established taxi cartels like TCA.
Dutch people are sick and tired of being over regulated and over taxed. It is a bloody insult that you need a permit to drive someone from A to B *IN YOUR OWN PROPERTY*. And is no less than a crime that Dutch government thinks it is OK to take over HALF of your income. 52% if you make a decent living, and all that to pay for those annual 50K 'positive' immigration of people who add nothing to Dutch society. That's modern slavery for the Dutch!
Not sure who modded you away, but I for one fully agree. If this has to happen, setting a time limit or a time window might be the best balanced option.
Having the screaming kids or the fat, sweaty guy next to you is bad enough. Last thing I want is 200 people yapping on their mobile for several hours. Time to start 'Quiet Airlines', no-go for kids and phones.
Too bad no company ever came up with a killer 8-bit machine. Z80 CPU, more than 64 kB RAM, sound and graphics like SID and VIC-II.
Really? Ever heard of MSX? See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M... It came with graphics, sprites (TMS9918/9929) and was a standard design carried by several manufacturers.
I have 19 solar panels (Yingli 255Wp) on my rooftop. Just ordinary ones, nothing fancy. They produce 34 kWh on a sunny day. So why is 12kWh from this contraption special? Even with the 20kW(h) of heat added, my panels still top theirs.
ISIS is islam in all its gory detail. Muslims all over the world get up in arms, and riot over as much as a pencil drawing of their bloody prophet, but are entirely silent over the atrocities performed by IS in the name of their religion. Therefor I conclude that they all to some degree agree with the methods of IS.
There's a recent video on Youtube, where Brigitte Gabriel puts it plain and simple; The Peaceful Majority is Irrelevant. Look it up. Islam is the worst cancer ever to come to humanity.
Just about everything that is bad for you today is being negated a few years later. Can't find the link today, but at one point "research" showed that jeans were responsible for higher risk of cancer. So I will just continue to live my life and enjoy it to the fullest. If something kills me, at least I had a good time.
For the past decade I have been taxed the hell out of, all for the savior of our planet. All to reduce emissions, lower pollution and stop Global Warming (which has conveniently been renamed to Climate Change).
Apparently all for nothing. Taxing the hell out of ordinary people makes zero difference on CO2 emissions. So can I please have my money back???
I find it quite interesting that sharia which has to be taken literally and has not changed in a thousand years, has anything to say about internet speeds. So somewhere over 1000 years ago a bearded guy sat in a tent, writing "Thou shalt not surf the interwebs over more than 14.4k Baud...". These guys are goood..
^^^^ This. Tape is very robust. Last year I restored 15 tapes with old Netware 5 from SDLT. For test I have read 8mm MP tapes from the early 90's and still can read every bit off of them.
I have more trust in reading back a 10-year old tape than any writable optical media, or even harddisks for that matter. Leave a harddisk to gather dust for several years and chances are it won't start up.

Ask me how I really feel..

Where are my mod points when I need them. All if this is sooooo true!
This akin to farting and then telling everyone not to smell your fart.
