You could post the same headline every time someone's modem cable gets knocked out or their router crashes.
A large chunk of Northern VT and NH were knocked out for most of a day a few weeks back when some server monkey at Fairpoint bend the connectors on a blade server (and they apparently have no redundancy). The restore time was the drive time from Boston on their SLA plus a winter storm going on (coincidentally, but not good timing for maintenance).
But, shit happens. Was there a Slashdot front pager on about it? Of course not - what kind of drama queens are submitting this crap? Oh, people around here are heavily armed and content, that must be why they don't get so upset (:poke, poke, nudge, nudge:, how's that crime rate?).
They should be making shoe-bombs and guns that dod't show up in body scanners too! Fucking assholes that try to stop people from carrying dangerous stuff
Guns and knives on the airplanes on 9/11 would have prevented the terrorist attacks. The brave men and women on Flight 93 proved that (though the best counter-defense they could mount was to sacrifice themselves). It's assholes like you who are a danger to society.
it's a simple design choice... that almost none of the manufacturers made before c. 1990. Lights were always trivial to change, so yes it is related to modern cars. Charge them under RICO if you want but more than likely it was simply follow-the-leader to increased dealer revenue.
Usually they sell the rights to a property to different distributors in different jurisdictions. So in Australia, "Diff'rent Strokes" might be exclusively licensed to Throw-Some-Stream-on-the-Barbie and now here comes Netflix, 'offering' the same content to VPN users there. The idea of 'jurisdictions' and geographical nexus requirements for digital data is stupid, but blame the 12th-century concept of laws still being applied to the Internet if you want a root cause.
Although, to be fair, those are social democratic countries, not ultra-capitalist like the U.S.
The US is ultra-fascist, not ultra-captialist. The cost of regulations (according to economists) adjusts the natural progression of wages from a purchasing-power adjusted $113K/yr to $42K/yr median. With the delta, Americans think they purchase "safety" (nets, from terrists, etc.)
You can imagine just how awful bad the US economy would be (and the health of charities) if the median income was $113K/yr. Talk about a capitalist dystopia!
Oh, and the War on Poverty hasn't made a single digit improvement in 60 years. Let's keep doing that too!
This life of the universe plus a month nonsense is completely counter to what IP should be
Don't believe the fairy tales - they control their adherents.
Copyright is just like every other function of government - to privatize gains and socialize losses. These are not the exceptions to some grand Platonic vision - they are the reality of the situation. Wooly-headed thinking only enables things like the Sonny Bono Act to gain passage. Every time they seek more power, it's to screw the public.
maybe the staircase will indeed lead to a super-secret 75-acre nuclear testing underground complex
Let's assume there is. Either: 1) it's still there and Allied intelligence never heard anything about it 2) it was there but it got cleaned up after VE-Day by Axis powers (or their Chitauri masters) and Allied intelligence never heard about it. 2a) by detonating the bomb they were working on inside (makes for a better story). 3) Allied intelligence knew about it and covered it up (also a good story).
Or it's not there. Mostly likely explanation sells few newspapers.
Pretty common and becoming moreso. My daughter runs a Moto G, and is a bit miffed by the 8GB of total space, no SD. The new Moto G is mostly the same but it has a MicroSD slot as well, since this was the #1 complaint from the market.
I turned on apache/Option Indexes on our media server, so she can stream videos over HTTP, but forget about taking movies on the road. Her little brother has my hand-me-down Droid 3, with a 32GB MicroSD and she's rather envious, despite his anemic CPU and RAM.
Oh, yeah, she'll stream Netflix over 1xRTT every ten miles in the mountains (ha!). Something like 40% of the land area of the US has no real data coverage. Google and Apple are thinking about 2030 while producing phones for a 2015 reality, and that annoys customers. Yeah, they have lots of towers in Cupertino and Mountain View (and it's flat in Detroit, so nobody needs 4WD).
So movie attendance was at its peak at the height of easy money and is in a local 20-year valley at the bottom of a 60-year workforce participation chart.
Therefore, it must be the Pirate Bay's fault. Q.E.D.
Yeah, it was 'just' a warrant that was served three days after Wikileaks' CIA dump. Because the government should be able to sieze journalists' email whenever they don't like a story if they can find some judge somewhere to sign. Jesus, people.
What benefit could this have, other than perhaps slightly undermining the government's authority?
Since it's obviously not a documentary, it's clearly a dirty lie, and I'm assuming Rogan and crew are their usual raunchy selves, it would probably actually serve to reenforce the propaganda from the State that the world is sick outside DPRK (if anybody had the gear to play it).
It is a job which involves killing people in order to defend against threats to one's whole country.
In fairy-tale land. OK, I'll give you the War of 1812, but we are talking about the US Armed Forces here, who almost entirely project force into the world to enact political ambitions.
No civilised society even contemplates using them.
The US Constitution calls for their use (S. "Letters of Marque and Reprisal"), which is relevant to the US Army discussion. But we're talking about governments here, and there never has been a civilized government - by definition they use uncivilized techniques (c.f. religions and markets, which are competing methods for societal management).
The internet protocol is designed to treat unlimited amounts of unsolicited traffic identically to important traffic from real users
It's a packet-switched network, so for anything else to be true, somebody along the line somewhere has to make that decision. But only you can make that decision when it hits your gear (and you could prioritize there, at your expense).
What the Internet lacks is a reliable social scheme for managing problems. One could imagine a guild of operators and paths of trust where a member could send a signed shutdown message through the network to known-offenders, putting his reputation on the line with every such action, per the review of the end-connection provider.
But network engineers tend to not want to socialize with each other or extend trust. Protecting the downside at the expense of the upside is a very common human foible - it kept our ancestors from being eaten.
They're much better. I've got a dozen or so of the 4TB Hitachis now and I'm replacing all of my non-'NAS' drives with them.
The 'NAS' range appears to be the old-fashioned quality drives in modern packaging. I have regular Deskstars in 2 & 3TB configurations and they are really, really, slow drives to back storage, even with SSD caches in front of them. I plan to buy the 'NAS'-labeled drives from now on. The non-NAS drives only seem to be acceptable for long sequential access. It's nice to have slow cheap drives available but if your 2014 drives are slower than your 2009 drives, this might be why.
It may not be end-to-end : one of the ways the sixteen intelligence agencies handle security is through the use of xml-bridges. Payloads are rewritten between networks of different classifications - only data gets across, not even binary documents. XMPP is useful for more than just chat clients. source: chatty dude at a tradeshow booth a few years back (niche market). This is one of the ways corporate actors fail to grok security - they accept the bets of COTS even if it's not good enough. TLA's hire staff to fill those needs.
Except they have a capitalist vision of google having to pay to have people access gmail.
wat. Of course Google pays to have people access gmail - servers, racks, drives, power, transit, staff, real estate all cost quite a bit. Where would they get those resources for free?
If the greenies and those making billions off of CO2 hysteria, like Gore, are so worried about the environment, get to the root off the problem and starting reducing their own population.
They don't even have to do that. Every time an environmentalist takes a cold shower instead of a hot shower, he prevents, on average, 8 lbs of CO2 from being created.
Well, the environmentalists who love the planet enough anyway. I haven't found too many, though, willing to do this one small thing to help out (at least ones who were planning to shower in the first place). They all start talking about educating other people to reduce their carbon footprint.
Uh, huh. It's a good litmus test to winnow the ethical from the hypocrites.
Cut down the forests to save the planet!:) There's even math that shows if your area has significant snowcover (Canada-on-up) that you shouldn't even plant the trees at all because the IR reflected out into space due to the albedo is worth more for reducing warming than the CO2 that can be absorbed at those altitudes. Not everything that's true is immediately intuitive (science, bitches).
Not that I necessarily trust that particular math nor anybody's math which claims to account for all variables and reveal the truth, but it makes sense that what we need is more biomass at the equator where it can grow denser and sequester more. Such as if the desertifying of the Sahara could be reversed, as "its" water is being gradually locked up at the southern pole. But to melt those ice sheets and put the humidity back into the atmosphere would required... dun, dun, dunnnn!
hey, I had a GE made in Mexico about a decade ago - complete junk. I just gave away a Bosch too - also junk. Before the GE was Whirlpool junk. Replaced the Bosch with a Maytag, a model with a grinder, and it's the first dishwasher I've bought that I haven't hated in two decades. Not sure where it's made.
I was surprised by the.36. When Lexus first came out c. 1990 they advertised the LS400 heavily as having a.28 and later models got down to.24..36 is 50% worse than a 1990's sedan and surprising since range has always been an issue.
I guess it looks cool, though (hard to argue with the company's success).
Classic nerds vs. geeks. Nerds are happy to be sacks of goo because exercise is not interesting to them. For geeks, everything is an optimization problem - the meatsuit gets no pass.
oh, does bridging work finally? I spent well over an hour with nmcli docs and on Google trying to setup bridges for each vlan I was using on an el7 machine and got nowhere close to working. Spent 5 min setting up redhat ifcfg- files and was done after yum uninstalling nm. It says that nmcli got some love in 1.0, and boy that's a good thing.
Slashdot Mirror
Lindt, Baker's, Ghirardelli's...
So, not Mars Brands. Also, I love how the Mars Our Brands page is almost completely useless compared to the Wikipedia page of the same theme.
FYI, you should be buying Green & Blacks 85% if you want a small slice of heaven.

I'm willing to bet the NSA has prior art on this.
You think the Lizard Squad is teenagers? The conspiracy theorists have been warning us that the NSA is run by the NWO and Lizard People for decades.
Correct as usual, King Friday.
