They also tend to be far more polluting that a gas powered car. From the production of the batteries to the coal fired power plant that generates the electricity.
Before someone says something about using solar or other electric. China is building Coal plants.
I'm sure some people probably thought their computers were broken and took them in for service,but since they couldn't get on the internet, most people probably called their ISPs, who have technicians in India who have no troubleshooting skills beyond asking them to reboot.
This is simple. They are ether common carriers or they are not.
If they are common carriers then they can not inspect the content they carry and as such are not liable for that content.
If they are NOT common carriers then they can inspect the content and charge what they like. However, they are liable for the content they carry. Thus if they choose to not be common carriers and someone is transmitting Child porn, threats, selling drugs, pirated music and movies,etc. Then they are liable for the transport of that data and we should prosecute them for it.
Do it just a few times and all the ISP's will be on board with becoming common carriers.
I remember when Linus posted it. I downloaded it and played with it a bit.
When Slackware 0.99a came out I gave it another try. It was not long before I was converting my Minix boxes at the house over to Linux.
In 1995 I switched from Windows 3.11 to Slackware and never looked back. To this day I run linux on all my systems at home save a small laptop that runs Windows XP though it is just to manage the spectrophotometer which does not have a linux driver.
Linux has come a long way and I am always amazed at how much of the world runs linux from Cell Phones, to routers, to supercomputers.
If you recompile the linux kernel, eliminate the loadable kernel modules and only compile in the drivers for the hardware it will be running on, then you can get it down to below 2MB
Off the top of my head I can name over 20 companies that have full failover to a backup DC. One of them is an Airline that everyone knows the name of.
Hell, I have configured stretch clusters for companies so that in the event of a DC failure the secondary DC is available with 0 down time and the failover is automatic. So it is done, it is normal operating procedures/best practices, and there is no reason the SECOND LARGEST AIRLINE IN THE USE IS NOT DOING IT!!!
If you want to argue that some small company of 1000 people is not doing it that is fine but there is no excuse beyond management failing to do their job for this one. I think the board needs to look into it and start cutting people from the top down.
This type stuff is common. Heck when I went to sign and get a business internet connection from Comcast they handed me a single page contract that we very reasonable until I got to the last line. It read "By signing this you agree to this contract and all pages published at http://xxxxx.comcast.com/"
That to me was not "fine print" it was bait and switch. I refused to sign tell I had read everything at the web address. Turns out they had 900+ pages of legal text published there. Most of what was stated in the one page contract was amended or removed by the published pages. They also included such gems as, under grounds for termination "Making public any information which may reflect badly on Comcast.", and "Running any service which allows a user to make public posts." It also stated that the service could be terminated at any time, without notice, with or without reason and that they could not be held responsible for any financial losses. I was not about to sign it because it put my business at the mercy of Comcast.
I have known that for years, even pass it on to anyone looking.
Also, put a skills summary at the top of the resume. It's an easy way to pack in key words.
Make sure you list 4 to 5 accomplishments per position. That's another way to pack key words.
Stuff like
2010-2015 Acme Corp Sr Unix Engineer * Deployed multiple OEL (Oracle Enterprise Linux) servers to use as Oracle DB Rack. * Maintained AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and Linux servers. * Managed CentOS (RHEL) 5, 6, and 7 servers using puppet and Spacewalk (Satellite server) * Spearheaded to project to upgrade older servers to CentOS7. * Designed and deployed the central logging service utilizing rsyslog with a back end Postgresql database.
As you can see, by doing that you have all the stuff that they may search for. Especially with the way companies look for everything including the kitchen sink.
I would be so happy with 5 to 10 a week.
Right now when I count up the calls to my cell phone, messages to my personal email, and linked in messages, I am getting between 75 and 100 a week.
Over the last two months, it has been so bad that, I have had to turn the ringer off on my phone.
The above is 30% paid in Taxes and SSI. So yes, people do pay more than 25% of every dollar in taxes.
The above numbers were based on a single income, single filer, with no dependents working on a 1099.
I dont understand why not, they are talking about the GROSS amount. As such you have to take into account the taxes, SSA, medical, expenses, etc to get to the NET amount.
Most will figure there income on the GROSS but as you can see from the above income people are trying to base the hourly on the NET. Which is wrong. However if you are going to try and determine the Hourly from the NET amount you have to include all the debits from the NET and not cherry pick the numbers.
It is a great idea, rather than doing an annual raise you give employees raises when they do a great job and become more valuable to the company. (HR and upper managements vision) This means that good employees get raises every few months as rewards and you can directly show them how much they are appreciated and reward them for their contributions to the company.
Middle management on the other hand get graded by how much money they save. Thus, by not giving raises and not having to do annual justifications they save money and get a bigger bonus. Thus no one gets a raise, the middle management looks like they are doing a great job saving the company money, and upper management can not figure out why they suddenly have a high turnover.
Some one has to fix the robots and kiosks when they break. Some one has to write the base program, someone has to key in the inventory and set the prices, someone has to debug and QA test it to make sure it does not give out free stuff. The problem you have is that none of those are unskilled minimum wage labor. I guess you dont think that people can better themselves, or learn new skills that will be in demand.
The Car eliminated the horse as transportation, thus eliminating the blacksmith, farrier, and may other jobs related to horses as transportation. Yes, they were put out of work but new jobs came in, such as auto mechanic, machinist, production workers for the auto plants, part houses, and tire manufacturers.
throughout history new inventions and methods have been created to replace old ones and for all of history it has created more work and new positions. If you think that paradigm has changed, then I say extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I have seen nothing that would even suggest we are loosing more jobs than the ones being created.
Slashdot Mirror
They should have called it "Windows 10 No Spyware edition!" Then maybe someone would buy it. lol
I have a PAAS and a storage cloud that are computers sitting on my desk at home. Both of them are accessible via the internet.
So when I put stuff in my "Cloud", it is on my equipment and not someone else's!
I don't think you can do that on windows so I guess it is not relevant to "Windows Cloud" lol
I had to look it up, EV's will run 60-80 miles on a full charge. Best case scenario it will take just over 6 full charges for a round trip.
Well, it is 3.5h to my ranch in East Texas. The last 4 miles are off road and there is no electricity, no cell service, and no internet out there.
I have yet to find an EV that will drive 490 miles (245 miles one way) without a charge, let alone one that is capable of going offroad.
They also tend to be far more polluting that a gas powered car. From the production of the batteries to the coal fired power plant that generates the electricity.

I fixed that sentence for you.

After reading some of the emails released, I am not sure the DNC could spell GPG let alone get it installed and use it correctly.
While citizens do not have access to the same class of weaponry as the state, we out number them.
There are 300,000,000 gun in private hands.
Compared to the whole of the US military and civilian law enforcement which comes to just under 3,000,000.
If 3% of the adult population stands up and says we will not give up our guns then we outnumber the government almost 3 to 1.
Thought I think they would have an issue collecting the guns from the 25,000,000 people in Texas.
Before someone says "They will just bring in the UN troops" Well, that will add about 150,000 people. Not really enough to make a dent.
So it has not changed from the time I worked there.
HPE is a joke, I would be willing to bet that these vulnerabilities are considered out of contract and remediation will be billed as T&M
As a common carrier they would not be liable for such things.
But ISP's did not want to be a common carrier, they fought it and resisted.
I guess they will have to just sleep in the bed they made.

Yes, the trees, grass, plants, and plankton breath in CO2 and release O2, converting CO2 to O2 and bonding the Carbon into carbohydrates.
There are more trees on the planet earth than there are stars in the milkyway galaxy.
So the real question is, how much co2 does a tree sequester? (48lbs a year)
How many trees are there? 3,000,000,000,000
I guess you can do the math on that one. ;)

The suggested process for using bitcoin is to create a new wallet address for each transaction.
They will never be able to keep up with it.
I guess this is what happens when a bunch of people who dont understand the technology try to regulate it.

Actually, you missed something and at @$100,000 it breaks down as follows assuming no state income tax.
Gross @ $100,000
Federal Taxes = $18,184
Social security = $12,400
Medicare = 2,900
25% in expenses == $25,000
Leaves $41,516 or a profit of $798 a week, If the state has an income tax it changes those calculations some.
as a 1099 self employed you are responsible for all of the above.
The problem is in translation.

People laugh at me when I say it is a conflict of interest to have lawyers making laws. (Most elected officials are lawyers)
Well, this is what you get. It is advantageous for lawyers to make complicated laws so only they can figure them out.
