As long as they don't cut corners on the manned side of things just to make a buck, I'm fine with it.
SpaceX will live or die by its reputation, so it's very unlikely they would. In the general case, though, governments often write poor specifications and then complain that the vendor cut corners. OK, that's not limited to governments either - better to spend lots of effort on a specification than to wish you had afterwards.
Mostly all yes though performance is spotty in some use cases. The code is evolving rapidly - it's always been safe, but sometimes new releases have regressions. The developers usually fix these quickly.
I'm using a dm-crypt volume under ZFS where I need encryption as that hasn't made it out yet.
I've been using it in test since August, for in-hosue production since January, but I'm not yet recommending it to clients because of the rough bits.
'patent seeking' is about closing off ideas and generating rent by artificially restricting the rest of the world's experimentation with similar ideas.
Right. IIRC CISRO had done some basic research on wireless networks a while ago, and that didn't get commercialized. When other companies did seek to commercialize wireless, they re-invented the same things and CISRO came after them, getting injunctions and such.
That's not the purpose of the patent system (theoretically, once upon a time, etc.).
To do well in IT you just have to have a certain problem solving ability. I don't think it is something that can be taught
I started at about 9 months. The 8-year-old is almost there. The 5-year-old still thinks I can make hardboiled eggs in 20 seconds with a magic bowl, but he's starting to wonder why it only works for me.
It all comes down to identifying knowns, forming a hypothesis, testing that hypothesis, gathering new knowns, and iterating.
Simple but non-trivial solution is to find some grown-ups to run ICANN.
Dude, you're putting a damper on our chances of naked mud wrestling champions representing bidders being sent to ICANN HQ to decide the domain lottery.
so would it be a good or bad thing if it lit up again?
The oscillation of our solar system's orbit brings us above and below the plane of the galactic ecliptic every 200,000 years or so and that's when massive speciation seems to happen.
So, hang on for that long and you won't need Red Bull to give you wings.
It may very well be that blocking off certain memory mechanisms helps other parts of the brain concentrate too.
I always did better studying with music on. I surmise that this is because parts of my brain were being kept busy and so weren't distracting other parts of the brain with "hey, look at this - hey, what about that?" Recent science is making the brain look more like a network than a mainframe.
But that's just a high-level abstraction too, albiet at a lower level.
At the base level, and FRN represents a promise by the government to hurt somebody down the line if he doesn't pay up. We exchange these violence promises daily and wonder why our society is faltering.
The SpaceX Grasshopper project is about putting landing thrusters on all of the stages, so the whole rocket can be reused up to 1000 times. Launch a payload, rocket stages return to launchsite. Re-condition and refuel for about 50 grand, launch again. Repeat until the satellite ring helps to reduce insolation.
Note that Microsoft's concern cited in TFS isn't access to internet connectivity, its access to internet bandwidth.
They tend to go together. Most people with dial-up just use a modem on one computer. Yes, I was the geek with dialup and WiFi to share it, but it's very atypical.
In my area (quarter million people) 35% are on dialup. Very few are there because of cost - most can't get better.
Any company willing to pay essentially blackmail money does not deserve my business.
Be strong and avoid the ones who pay ICANN fees too. ICANN is somewhere between worse than useless and maliciously evil. Anybody who would pay such a fee doesn't deserve your patronage.
On the contrary, yet is does minimize their accomplishment. It makes it all for nothing, a technical exercise, with no near term or long term payback. Recaptcha is a huge con, no more secure then the original captcha. The second (or first) portion being there only to serve some other purpose, and any answer will do.
It's funny that you'd complain about a waste of effort and then bemoan Recaptcha, which was developed to prevent all those man-years of solving CAPTCHA's from going to waste.
BTW, the founder of Recaptcha has expressed that he will be happy when it can be defeated trivially because at that point the other job it's trying to do can be completely automated, which is still a win.

Why does this look exactly like AOL Keywords reborn?
Uh, it doesn't?
This isn't 'tickets', it's e.g. van-halen.tickets/boston

not very fast x86, but fairly low power (if a low power chipset is paired with it).

Google Shopping seems like a mismatch - have you tried Etsy?
He's not Hitler. Not that evil.
Hitler wasn't "that bad" before he disarmed the populace either.
Chavez should be dead soon from cancer anyway, right?
My only complaint is that mounting filesystems on boot seems eternally broken.
yeah, there's udev work to be done yet. I think there's an open bug for that.
I currently use a shell script to interrogate and export/import my zvols to get everything up at boot. Messy.

And the Marshall Islands site was started because of pressure from misguided environmentalists in California.
This country will regulate itself into obsolescence.
is stripping your employees of dignity really the right way to get a productive workforce?
No, but it's a great way to screen out companies you don't want to work for.
Or take 'guff' from 'troublemakers' like Americans.
How often do you see H1B's in innovative startups vs. multinationals with several layers of management?

Yep. Direct democracy also gets you a ban on gay marriage in North Carolina.
It doesn't have to be true that one or the other of those two choices is the correct solution.

once you realise you've actually gotten through to them, then punch them in the face and tell them to go to hell.
Your allegiance to order of operations is impressive.
and even better recover and reuse them

The Death Star was built by government labor, as was the Enterprise.
At least the Empire didn't execute people for using droids. Oh, I mean Happy Shiny Federation, sorry.

Looks like Nintendo does a bit of this.
The writable bit you mention might be a bear if the console dies.

And take cold showers. Hot showers are a luxury of the first-world planet haters.
