Hydrogen not the issue with the Hindenburg, flammable metallic paint that burned like solid rocket fuel was. Hydrogen is superior lifting gas with twice the lift, should be used instead in a proper compartmentalized balloon system
My windows 98 did not crash multiple times every day. Perhaps you were doing it wrongly.
No, mere classic shell change not enough to make windows 8 usable. Windows 8 was a fundamental change to a usable system that most agree is awful.
Windows 2012 often needs to be accessed by UI do to very poor architecture on the part of Microsoft; I'm glad only need to watch and mock our windows certified engineers in their misery.
Of course I am old have have vast experience on operating systems from the 1970s onward: the IBM mainframe OS, CDC Cyber NOS, Vax VMS, OS/2, Novell Netware, Unix(tm) and BSD and Linux.
Yet certain releases of Micrsoft Windows family is the only OS's that I call rubbish. Strange isn't it.
Someone like you only knows Microsoft's wares and so your opinions mean nothing next to someone who has done systems programming, system admin, architecture with everything from embedded to mainframe to supercomputer (both vector and massively clustered) computers
You don't think I am a computer program, do you ?
No. You are an erratic biochemical reaction. Any useful action you might perform can be better done and more efficiently done by a machine. You have, therefore, no function. You are OB...SO....LETE
Someone attempting running gate at nuke plant will certainly get much LESS consideration than the perps in this story. *They will kill you.* Even trespasser on foot will get exactly one warning to assume surrender position, then the bullets fly. I know this from former employment at one, security exercises were fun to hear and watch.
no way, if "good" means usable found 98 and XP very useful. I still fire up XP in vm for certain wares requried for job.
win 95 - marginal win 98 - good win me - shit win xp - good vista - shit win 7 - good win 8 - shit and shills with their tongue in Gate's poop chute try to lie that only one config change needed to be like 7, no it's more like two dozen, screw it why bother
win 2012 is shit, has win 8 UI and bad division of management functions
News flash for you, windows 7 phone was a catastrophic flop. People were demanding a good phone. Xbox? seriously, we need to use.NET everywhere because a Microsoft game console needs it?
Plenty of cross platform languages and libraries exist, we don't need.NET
Wrong, military facilities have to assume they are under enemy attack when the perps ignore instructions and moveover try to ram. They were thrice stupid and they paid the expected price. Real world is harsher than your silly notions.
Compared to sunlight they do better, for frequency of 100GHz only 20% absorbed. Sweeter spot below 50GHz where only 5% absorbed. The real argument is cost, it's just silly to put in space when you can put massive arrays in deserts for less than tenth of cost to get the same energy.
Makes perfect sense, no nighttime, panels would have sunlight more than 90% of the time. Loss in transmission would be low with microwaves, could be sent to ground based rectanna of tens of square miles with 80% efficiency, and the power density per square unit area kept within safe limits for living things. Look up facts before you spew.
Let me get this straight, you think people should be able to use their car as weapon against the gate of a federal military facility, and not get shot? Is that the soft and gentle world between your ears?
Why? They can just pay this miniscule fine and other similar nuisance expenses and move on. They're making money. No problem from their point of view.
It's like the liquor stores across the street from the university I attended; the city law said no such stores allowed within X distance from a college or the fine Y would be paid for every Z weeks of operation. So these stores would cut city annual check of 52 / Z * Y every year, problem solved.
Yes they exist, and they're somewhat rare. According to International Society of Women Airline Pilots, 4,000 out of the 130,000 airline pilots are women.
Not many, never ever seen a commercial female pilot on any flight. Women are less prone to suicide, maybe a push for many, many more female pilots. And train them in martial arts for the case where male dirtbag from part of world where women are looked at as inferior (which is more than half, by the way) tries to overpower her, she can just destroy tender parts of body that terrorist camp strength training can't help (throat/windpipe, testicles, eyes etc.)
Yes I've looked at code, what a mess.
Red Hat has jumped the shark, too much non-standard ways of doing things and non-standard locations trying to lock people into the "Red Hat way". I disagree that their engineers know what they're doing other than trying to make their own weirdo OS and having people trained so they can't function on another distro, just lock-in tactics. I also don't appreciate them not allowing public access to repositories, it was hobbyists and experimenters that got them into the corporate environment in the first place, but now that repo restriction gives their former fan base the finger. Then they make Fedora so those people are supposed to be guinea pigs for their random brain farts that might be included someday in RHEL. So to hell with Red Hat, I and many others are done with them.
You mention Unix(tm) and a BSD that removed init scripts, but they didn't replace it with systemd so not relevant to my complaints about systemd. Maybe those things are find (I have some issues with both launchd and SMF but that's another discussion)
Yes, I work with virtualized systems and storage all day long, without systemd. No problems locking config to specific ethernet device using mac address, and when virtualized they're all going to use the same driver and naming so what's the issue?
I write init scripts that work on RedHat, SLES, Ubuntu, Debian..not sure why you think they can't be moved if properly written to be handled by all those.

oh yes, walking around with a tablet with a 3TB raided mybook dangling from it suddenly makes sense, clearly I've been doing things wrongly.

Go ahead, but you know the Harkonnen's preferences yes?
bluetooth and wifi would cover most people for peripherals
Yeah just like commercial jet pilots

The serious studies by NASA and Japan's JAXA disagree, efficiency not a problem. Just cost compared to building array in desert is the issue.

actually a couple hundred million would be enough to make them seriously consider change their ways. But just a few million they'd laugh off.
depends how hard the court hits them; since they do business everywhere a venue where they are hated would be choice location
Just one lawyer needs to see the "class action" possibilities; those won't cost the workers
