No. The hardware never met expectations and it never really got to the kids. Most were confiscated by the local dictators and sold off.
Not just that. I thought the buy-1-give-1 program was awesome and my daughter was four at the time, so I thought it would be perfect. Christmas came and went and I never got a box in the mail. The office was clearly a mess.
I month or two later, I gave up after getting nowhere with those people, bought her a pink eeePC and all was well with the world. Especially ASUS's profit, since they dared to earn it.
Second raid is NOT a backup it's high availability.
That's entirely a matter of configuration. If I were doing this with drives, I'd grab an 8x SATA card, 8 4TB drives, an external hot-swap shelf, and setup RAIDZ-2 with compression on it. I'd put the drives in, rsync the data to them, snapshot it, pop them out, and bring them to a safe deposit box for safe keeping. Cost is about $1800. That's totally a backup. A second set of backups is another $1300.
Can somebody compare the cost for tape?
Also, stop hoarding stuff, it's expensive. My (legit) backups of my extensive DVD(2.4Mb/s h.264) and CD(FLAC) collection fits in less than 2TB.
Presumably nobody is being dumb enough to sell a gallon of water for 50 cents and then buy it back for a dollar. So who the fuck cares?
Because these are not market forces at play, they are government forces.
It's so bad that government gangs will send men with guns to your house to haul you off to prison (or kill you if you resist) if you collect rainwater from your roof for irrigation or fire protection.
Especially in the Colorado River basin, because "that's California's water." So people who live in the deserts there can have lush shubberies tended by Mexican servants and grow alfalfa for Asia. Have you ever walked down a street in, say, Palm Springs, and noticed the landscaping difference on a vacant lot? It's quite impressive.
If there were strong property rights and markets at play here, then, sure, let the prices fall where they may, but that is entirely not the situation at hand.
Yeah, but when's the last time you saw R2 stuck in a corner, draining his battery without being able to figure out how to get back to his charging station?
You can paint it yellow, but it's still a really-short bus. That might make sense for very low-density areas, but I was surprised when I needed to hire a school bus for a Scout event last year that the newer full-sized buses actually get pretty amazing mileage. At 10-15 MPG, it's terrible for a car, but when you're carrying 60+ people, that's fantastic. Especially considering you can still buy a pickup truck that gets similar mileage. I was expecting the answer to come back at "7MPG highway" or something more proportional to automotive mileage.
Kudos to the anonymous mechanical engineers who design these things. I suspect it would be really hard to build a full-sized EV bus that used less total fuel, considering the transmission and charging losses, and the fuel equivalence for the additional wealth needed to purchase such a thing.
Do I need a NOTAM to throw a frisbee, or fly a kite? And what magically happens to turn a 5 foot wide foam glider from an unregulated toy into a regulated "aircraft" because it was used commercially. Did it suddenly become more dangerous because the footage was going to be sold commercially, and if so... how did it know?/I
Because money, so you don't have any right to self-determination or a making a living.
Agreed, but SN is unlikely to give up his key passwords without torture, so the random thieves aren't really so much of a risk.
I can't see how he can get out of the country at this point. It's logical to assume that the things he'd need to reconstruct his keys are not in the same jurisdiction as he is.
1) There is no evidence that they internally account for software as you say. It's speculation.
Not really. We know for a fact that they charge labor to install Firefox. There's no way around this - the numbers are what they are.
The null hypothesis should be that things are the same - the onus is on the claimant to prove a difference. Besides that, they certainly have incentive to structure their offerings to maximize their profits - giving it all to Microsoft doesn't do that.
Office Home and Business directly from Dell for 219 USD.
That's a different product. Retail (even download) is always more expensive than OEM in the Microsoft ecosystem. I'm spec'ing a Windows 7 PC and the retail price is $379 while the OEM price (from Lenovo) is $50.
Bruce used to say that HP gets Windows for $14 a copy.
I think the point here is more like: should a North Carolina-based company be doing business with countries that the U.S. government is sanctioning?
Of course they should - for all the reasons Americans hold dear.
Would the US Government think so? Probably not, but look at the shit going down in Venezuela as a direct consequence of Kennedy's EO on Cuba - they have no idea what they're doing (or are at least in severe denial about free markets and trade's effect on freedom because they want to be central planners and pretend like they value freedom).
It's not likely that hard drive is in his home somewhere. It's probably in a safe deposit box
At this point, it's far easier to get a warrant to empty a safe deposit box than it is to search a home. Banking privacy was eliminated by the Patriot Act.
Protection from what? Bitcoin is not that big of a deal and I cannot conceive of a reason why anyone would care if he invented it or not other than idle curiosity.
Because [the "real" Satoshi Nakomoto] is known to have about $400M worth of bitcoin, which criminals erroneously think is untraceable.
I very deeply hope that none of the people this man cares about are threatened (or worse) because of this Newsweek story. If Newsweek is wrong but some kidnappers get the wrong idea anyway, then they're doubly screwed.
I can't think of who benefits from this story aside from the author and Newsweek. Before anybody says that he might get some job offers, none of us can presume to know better for him than what he knows to be best for him.
On a more serious note have you in the past 5 years used a computer where the default bios settings weren't correct?
Only very recently have I seen any BIOS'es default to AHCI. Running drives in IDE-compatibility mode in 2014 is just silly. If I were buying a thousand PC's from Dell, I'd give them a list of BIOS settings to configure.

Well how is a documented protocol for communication different from a backdoor?
On a house, how is the back door different than the front door, other than being on the back side of the house?
No. The hardware never met expectations and it never really got to the kids. Most were confiscated by the local dictators and sold off.

I've heard Sugar is the reason many of the kids learned to hack their first machine. That's a feature, not a bug.

How is long term storage a solution? I figure the NSA is probably immune to lawsuits anyway, like Area-51 is, under presidential determination.
It hardly matters whether they're immune or not, since they recklessly violate the highest laws of our land en masses and as frequently as possible.
Therefore saying "I'm not good at maths" in Japan or South Korea is actually saying "I'm too lazy to master this".
The meaning is the same everywhere, it's just whether the culture allows one to call them on it.
You need some sort of government level power to track them from Bitcoin universe to real world.
Is tracking them necessary? Why couldn't miners set a cost-prohibitive verify price on transactions to known "stolen" addresses?

. I have seen Open source code which looks like shit if you take 10 Minutes to look into it.
Of course you have - anybody can open source anything.
Have you seen major, mature, popular projects with code that looks like shit?
Agreed, but SN is unlikely to give up his key passwords without torture, so the random thieves aren't really so much of a risk.
I can't see how he can get out of the country at this point. It's logical to assume that the things he'd need to reconstruct his keys are not in the same jurisdiction as he is.

That's funny since there was plenty of "social pressure" on GnuTLS about its crappy code and yet it had unfixed security flaws for most of a decade.
You'll notice that FileZilla is the only major app that uses it for online work, and that's mainly used by Windows people.
The 'society' knew to use openssl.

If he attempted to get cash for 5% of his holdings, the market price would likely crash
Yeah, but none of the drug gangs demand $10M for a ransom payment. The real SN could get $200K easily enough.
Besides, his keys are more valuable than his cash, to the most violent gangs on the planet.

What's wrong with them taking it back and apologizing?
If it was a real apology they'll never file similar charges against anybody else. I wouldn't take that bet.
What's a bios parameter?
On a more serious note have you in the past 5 years used a computer where the default bios settings weren't correct?
Only very recently have I seen any BIOS'es default to AHCI. Running drives in IDE-compatibility mode in 2014 is just silly. If I were buying a thousand PC's from Dell, I'd give them a list of BIOS settings to configure.
Any source for this?
I don't know about LSD, but it's definitely true for MDMA and PTSD. Google it.
They are currently deleting ALL firearms for sale/buy posts.
That's definitely not true. You must not be in the right groups.
