You can not really stop stupid people. However many companies cripple their networks through so called "Security" measures. What do you do when you lock down everything to be accessed through a few servers and you experience a major network outage? Your time to resolution is crippled by having to use ancient back doors "Serial Access" to get back into these devices. Now you're losing customers on top of losing money, especially when it comes to compute clouds where you're literally billing by the hour. Even more so for long distance providers, cellular companies, and VOIP communications providers.
I am curious how the press of one key managed to wipe out the cloud, the load balancers, and the routers at the same time. Either they're using some program to manage their switching network which is the only key thing that could take it all out, or the idiot had the command queued up.
More likely some idiot introduced a cisco switch into their VTP domain and it had a higher revision number queued up and it overwrote their entire LAN environment. Simply fixed by requiring a password that way you can really nail an idiot that does it, and secondly bite the admin bullet and run vtp transparent mode.
There's no one command that's going to bring it all down, it's going to be a series of actions that result from a lack of proper network management, and lack of proper tested redundancy. Redundancy does not exist in the same physical facility, redundancy exists in a separate facility nowhere associated with anything that runs the backed up facility. Pull the plug on data center A, your customers should not notice a thing is amiss. If you can do that, then you have proper redundancy.
I believe the other problem is that were working on a 30+ year old protocol stack, and it's starting to show it's limitations. TCP/IP is great, but there needs to be some better upper layer changes that allow client replication to work as well. So if the App loses it's connection to server A, it seamlessly uses server B without so much as a hiccup. Something like keyed content where you can accept replies from two different sources, but the app can use the data as it comes in from each, much like bittorrent, but on a real time level. It requires twice the resources to handle an app, but if redundancy is king this type of system would be king and prevent some of the large outages we have seen in the past.
Look at it this way, you can use a smaller footprint to gain the same amount of power. That's savings you cant pass by if it gets commercialized and is cheaper than current models.
I believe China is not so stupid to believe that Oil will always be there, otherwise they would not be the world leader in installed renewable energy. On the other hand, communist heads of government in the country really need to deal with the corruption, but the build it faster will always come at reduced quality where humans are the builders. Quality work needs time, but the other problem is that as Oil costs go up so does the costs to build these green transport systems.
Reducing dependence on oil and using it only for advanced purposes would stretch it for a very long time. I think about a third goes into people's gas tanks, while the rest goes into advanced petrol products such as plastics and generic purposes such as fertilizer.
As a race it's annoying that a very vocal minority is derided by a majority that just refuses to believe we will ever run out. Within a hundred years we will be faced with three challenges. Fusion power to power our cities, combating global warming induced by our drive to have what we have today and expand it, and a large decrease in oil to provide the building blocks of advanced materials. Solving the energy equation should be a global priority, Fusion and renewables will provide what we need to fix the other two problems. If we fail in this, we may regress back a few hundred years, after several bloody wars that might just wipe us out anyways because I know damn well that majority will refuse at all costs go give up what they will lose if they fail to fix those 3 problems. And they'll probably take the human race with them.
Sue the crap out of them and be rich, otherwise you'll just probably end up with free X days the service was down, and your lawyer will be rich instead.
It will become valuable once countries regulate that any port sites can only operate with a.xxx domain. They'll move, we can all update our spam links and be happy that the majority of the problem just becomes blocking.xxx from kids.
Cause students who are not smart enough to do this to fail or get a bad grade lowering their GPA and making it more difficult for them to get into a good college.
All we hear is more of the same day in and day out. They're doing this, oh and we discovered that. They're now leaking cesium 141 into the ocean which has a half life of 30 years vs 8 days with the iodine. And ocean water flows clockwise towards the US and our fishing waters. After transocean were going to find we have very little seafood that's not contaminated because of human activity.
The government needs to get their power company out of the picture and work on real solutions, that power company is doing everything it can but at a slowness to save it's own ass.
I agree with you, but there is still upward mobility. I came from a poor family, spent 5 years in the military working on network gear, and now make 6 figures as a network engineer and I still dont have a college degree. While I do not have a business card that says I'm CEO Bitch, I did bring myself out of the small pissant town I grew up in oklahoma and live outside denver with a great view of the mountains.
Though on the flip side, I do not have it as good as in other foreign countries where my masters degree is paid for by the government, and I can get a job for a song anywhere in the US vs I had to pull myself up and get to where I am today.
Once Google states no DRM in WebM, Microsoft will win the battle and get hollywood on their side by offering DRM in whatever they cook up. That's the only reason they're asking this question. Without DRM there is no Netflix in HTLM 5 and for that matter any number of video options that may exist because the xxIA's require it.
There probably is, but apparently none of them have either invented FTL travel, or they have some prime directive crap going on. Then again ancient aliens is a pretty good show, makes you wonder if they really walked among us, why did they leave and never came back.
Prime numbers would be easy to detect by any advanced races, it's devoid of any religious and political overtones as well. It's about as neutral a message as you can get.
The brits are responsible for what happens in Israel just as much as the US if not more. I'm sorry but history shows who lived in palenstine long before the mass Israeli illegal immigration. Encouraged as a final solution to the Jew problem by England, maybe the Jews were not killed like the Nazi's did, but they have done nothing, but murder and create their own ghettos and stuffed them with the palenstinean people.
Israel has always been the primary agressor, these people they have displaced barely have anything to fight back with and because they use bombs against a populace that 90% have served in the military and are required to stay in the reserves for quite awhile I would not consider them entirely civilian.
You corner an animal it will fight back and use every dirty trick it knows.
Feel free to look it up it's called the Palenstien Mandate.
The whole observer thing is bs and because of limited imagination.
Just because someone saw it sooner does not make when it actually happened any different from someone a thousand light years away. Once both parties have seen it the further party would know it happened X years ago with X uncertainty because measuring distances is complicated. However on a universal timeline it happened when it happened and that's it.
The major thing that comes to mind is that were bringing a creature back when it's native diseases now have 100k+ years of evolution on them. They'll have to keep it in a bubble.
Then again it seems a dwarf species existed until around 1700BC.
Who cares, he still pays the bills, and is more likely to upgrade to premium hardware as well. Half the cellular services are crap, people will buy music from iTunes or Amazon because the carrier music store still encrypts and is twice the price.
No military equipment costs so much because of a few factors, Reason #1, the government is too stupid to get a good deal on anything. The idea that competitive bidding gets you anywhere is a scam. Second the maker is only going to make around a few hundred thousand of whatever. Why waste resources selling to an army of 500,000 vs the 50 million customers in the US and beyond.
I'm sure they approached Steve Jobs about this, and he probably blew them off for selling iPhones to Verizon Wireless customers.
So you've done research on this? My wife attended a state college and paid nearly 60k, thankfully her grandmother paid for it all. In the end she was crowded out by foreigners and now works for less than what she trained for. BSEE.
Lets do a study showing how H1B's are crowding out our college graduates because businesses have learned the costs savings vs having to pay a living wage. Until this problem is fixed, our wages are going to be flat for a long time, recessions or no recessions.

Unless we figure out something that allows us to beat light speed even the nearest star is 4 years + away.
