All we have to do to treat you.....is dose you with toxic, radioactive bacteria!
Compare it to chemo and radiation therapy. If they can deliver the bacteria safely (which is a big if) and if it ends up delivering less radioactivity to the patient than ordinary radiation therapy, it might end up being safer. Treating cancer is often about trade-offs.
Let me rerephrase that for you. "Developers don't care jack shit..." Show me a developer who is incapable of being a successful sys. admin and I will know you a terrible developer. It's all about time and interests.
Absolutely. I know plenty of people who've been both good sysadmins and good developers at various points in their career.
Like you say, developers aren't necessarily interested in the things that make for good administration, though. The ability to create virtual machines at will, for instance, means that developers can create more virtual machines than are needed, which results in greater administrative overhead and greater costs. They can also sidestep normal administrative procedures.
We used to have enough problems with this back in the day when everything ran on physical machines. A developer would slip a box into the data center and not tell anybody or document anything. Later we'd have to clean up the mess when we discovered that nobody had been patching the machine and it had a security problem, or they hadn't configured something properly so that it didn't start up properly on reboot. My favorite was the time the developer (who was in my opinion very otherwise very good) forgot to configure the IP addresses of a machine with anything more than ifconfig. The machine came back up after its first reboot without IP addresses and a good chunk of the customer's site was down for an extended period of time.
If you want to use multiple links all at the same time, with the packets spread over them, you're supposed to get an Autonomous System number.
This is more akin to link aggregation than it is multihomed Internet connections. Any two hosts could use this. They could be in the same autonomous system. They could be on the same subnet. There's no need to get a separate AS number for each host.
Note that one of the other use cases suggested is for smartphones.
Being a "Thinkpad" used to mean something... it meant you were buying a laptop built to survive Armageddon (well, at least one that's neither wet nor sandy) that you'd feel compelled to hang on to forever as a future family heirloom, because it just seemed morally wrong to ever throw one away.
Even before IBM sold them to Lenovo, the quality wasn't consistent. Going way back to the late nineties, the 380 series was rock-solid. As of a couple of years ago, we still had a few of those scattered around in test labs to use for serial access to routers and switches (albeit with no battery).
The next model we bought, the 390 series, was a piece of crap. Nearly everyone who had one of those returned it in a bag. They just fell apart. At the time I was pretty easy on my laptop, and just opened it twice a day (once at work, once at home). The display literally fell off--the plastic where the screws held it in place broke. We had large numbers of users with the same or similar problems.
It was a pity,since I remember that as being a very nice laptop otherwise.
They were also having factories inside the fourth or fifth ring road move outside of it according to the people I spoke to when I was there in 2005. This was to prepare for the Olympics.
The article doesn't actually say and the Washington Post just links to the article abstract, but C-14 dating isn't used except for recent material because of its small half-life. There are a wide variety of methods used for older rocks (see here). For instance, rubidium-strontium dating might be used, since rubidium-87 has a half life of 50 billion years. Rubidium-strontium can be used for isochron dating as well, which doesn't require any assumptions about the amount of the daughter nuclide in the sample.
Having said that, I don't have any details on the methods actually used to date rocks in this particular region.
The intended use of an image makes a big difference. An Instagram user could make the case that their image was free of legal issues when posted for personal use but not when the image was used in some multinational's worldwide advertising campaign. Model releases don't play a role in images for personal use. (Not that I'd put any of my own images on Facebook or Instagram.)
The Crusades.....you mean a defensive war waged against muslims by christians? Palastine was settled by christians and muslims came and took it over (ie, the muslims invaded).
Seriously? The Muslim conquest was over three hundred years before the Crusades. And any military activity involving an invading army which is fought entirely outside of the countries where the invading armies came from is *clearly* defensive.

I say "Because OMFG, gross!!!"
We already eat other arthropods, like shrimp, crab, crawfish and lobster.

With virtual machines, this is so much easier.
If those ideas were so great, there would be no way to be sceptic about them, would there?
That's not how it works. There is always a way to talk yourself out of an idea, good or not.

What?! The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall were all great albums.
Eh, they haven't been the same since Syd Barrett.
Dyson assumed that all alien civilizations are stupid enough to believe in infinite growth, much like humanity.
I don't believe this. I think the most advanced aliens have probably realized that there isn't much point of growth after a certain threshold.
But where is that threshold? Is it before or after they build a Dyson sphere?
It could be your bottling technique or equipment as well.
Cities aren't soul crushing, they're the geographic locus of the human soul.
used to be. but that's old-people thinking. sorry...
I hate to break it to you, but a preference for the burbs is old-people thinking.
