Which they're already using.... Which means it looks like the problem may be more related to automation of the testing of the sites and the subsequent automatic (vs manual) pulling of a site from the dns when it fails.
It isn't technical or insurance or litigation but economics.
What does your car do when you are not using it? Nothing. you spent 30 thousand on a new car and iit spends 99% of it's time doing nothing.
Well a sefl drive car doesn't have to do nothing. It can speed over town 24 hours per day 365 days per year taking people here and there. It can spread the 30 thousand cost over thousands of people an d thousands of journeys.
What this means is that any individual who blows 30 grand on a new car will be at a serious economic disadvantage to someone who simply calls a self drive taxi company and spends 1/30 thousandth of the cost on each journey.
My subject line is a troll, they can exist, but the market is as taxis and the market is far smaller than for individual cars. A taxi can make 50 journeys for a personal car's 2 way commute. Which means the producers have to get 50 time smaller. Good business model. No?
You build your systems to be fault tolerant. They automatically continue with half the components missing. Automatically disable those which fail the continually running tests.
Build your backup tests into daily procedures. i.e. don't copy/scp files to other locations/servers/sites, restore them to the other location. Autorestore DB backups to the staging/test/dev/reporting systems daily.
Computers are there to do stuff automatically. Getting human beings to do them is prone to failure.
active/passive systems are a pain in the arse. The whole concept of testing failover in an active/passive situation is wrong. Anything which relies on human beings doing this and that and that and that is a bad solution.
Just run active/active and load balancer over both sites. If one fails it's tests, you just pull it.
Other theory is that the modern holiday was first celebrated soon after the adoption of the Gregorian calendar; the term referred to someone still adhering to the Julian Calendar, which it replaced
The truth is that plenty of U.S. slashdotters who championed the success of moderate amounts of socialism in California and of healthcare and other social services in Europe are conveniently neglecting the reality that California is bankrupt and that all of the European countries are either bankrupt or soon to be.
All countries using a monetary system based on fractional reserve banking are bankrupt, or soon to be.
Nokia 5500 £20 on Ebay with accelerometer, no gps but if you're glueing it down you know where it is. N82 with accelerometer & GPS. £50
It's really ridiculous how much computing power is being virtually thrown away these days. You even get premade accessories like solar chargers if you want to place them somewhere off grid.
Many mobiles have accelerometers these days in addition to gps. So you can get the gps positions of the wave as well as the gps timestamp and the accelerometer values.
They are even connected to a network. The tricorder in startrek... Mobile phone...
if you are a developer/user, then you care. If however you are a developer/seller then the hardware costs are bourne by your customers and you don't give a shit... Hence ruby on rails.
But the world has been extending credit since then. The Saudis in particular, so yeah you beat them financially. Not without the help of the rest of the world though. As to the internal state of the USA? You just keep on voting for it.

Having said that. From the Russians I know and there are quite a few now. Russia appears to be just getting on with life. Yeah they play hardball, but they got gas and we want it, so I don't blame them.
A ballistic missile is pretty obvious. A cruise missile isn't quite so.
Huge market for such a device. Particularly if it was nuclear capable. Boom. There goes Washington DC. No clue who hit it. It takes the Mutual out of MAD.

They have no clue how to scale their systems[1]. Therefore they pass the problem on to the underlying layer and say you do it for me.
[1] They don't understand the mathematics of what they are doing.
There's the Earth in 2010, the Earth in 2000, the Earth in 1990, etc.
They're coupled.

Problem solved.
You end up with char, oils, combustible gases, energy and more space.

Yay. I'll be sure to watch it carefully.

they're buying ideas & patents. Shouldn't we sell them ideas and patents - lots and lots of them?
That's what the market says.
the result is called PRT.

So, still appropriate.
The truth is that plenty of U.S. slashdotters who championed the success of moderate amounts of socialism in California and of healthcare and other social services in Europe are conveniently neglecting the reality that California is bankrupt and that all of the European countries are either bankrupt or soon to be.

You just got the right to healthcare, but do you really want that going to illegal immigrants?
Yes.

There simply isn't enough "waste" to make conservation a workable plan for fulfilling our future energy needs.
WTF? Carnot.
Cars throw away around 80%.

You're American, right?
And I question that we "beat them financially"

I consider that pretty fucking bad, but you know. It could be worse.
