Not really. Though you will probably pay more for a motherboard that supports it.
Worth it. Look up the stats on memory errors. With the volume of data commonly being handled (say 10s TB per week, if backing up a 2TB working set every day) the chance of a memory error becomes realistic.
"After 80 days, if you have not left the country they could use your social media for a friendly reminder."
The immigration service of the US (and most other countries) does nothing to be helpful or friendly. The rules are as they are, and if you don't leave by 90 days then you will suffer the consequences. My understanding (not having experienced it myself) is that if a visitor is in breach of any visa requirements for the US (overstay, working, etc...) then they apply a lifetime ban on that person. Such consequences typically ensure people pay attention to the length of their stay.
On a concrete floor I use a small or "normal" hammer and twist the head slightly on the swing. With the drive flat, and aiming right on top of the drive, halfway between the spindle and the edge, I find it easy enough to leave a huge dent, if I don't go right through the thin top plate!!!!
Wasted opportunity. Yes, wipe the drives as you do: then fill them with encrypted backups. At the very least those "dust collectors" may be useful in the future. Otherwise, smash the top of the drive with a hammer hard enough to damage the platter(s) and throw them in the bin.
There is a massive difference between working for yourself to feed your family, and toiling away to line the pockets of someone else.
Give me a hoe, a scythe, or a pick, and I'll work *my* fields from sun-up to sun-down, and enjoy the fruits of my labour (or otherwise) for the rest of my days.
Force me to work for some asshole in a shit "open plan" office and expect me to give the best years of my life *and* pretend to enjoy doing it?
Damn straight I'm not going to work beyond the bare minimum the system will allow...
" Teenagers are notorious shit-talkers when they haven't got a clue"
Tru dat!
Funniest thing is when they start waxing lyrical about a complex situation they have obviously never experienced first hand, but are determined to answer by channeling all their social cues, learned behavior, knowledge from books. They always end up delivering their response with mind-blowing confidence that they are absolutely correct in their assertions.
"On the surface, caring for a robo-baby for a few months should be a reasonable approximation of that. Where it falls down is not the lack of body fluids, I think, but the knowledge that (a) it's only a grade, not a life and (b) it is only a few months. (a) means that if you screw it up, it's not so terrible, and (b) means that you know there's an end in sight. Both of those probably significantly reduce the impact. "
If that was true (nicely put, btw) then there should have been no difference between the control group and the study group.
Since the study group showed *higher* rate of pregnancy compared to control, the obvious deduction is that the system doesn't work. Period. We can all argue and muse as to the cause and effects, but ultimately, it doesn't work and unless someone goes and does a "better" study to double-check this work, then we have to accept it.
My personal opinion is that the baby exposure from the robot doll simply fosters natural instincts in the young women caring for them. When faced with the decision to use a condom or not, those from the study simply showed a slight bias towards "fuck it, a baby ain't so bad" compared to the rest.
I don't know if you've noticed but a lot more online merchants are saving credit card details for repeat purchases. The rotating passwords are simply part of their security theater to meet the requirements of their insurance. They certainly do not give a shit about your account security.
The last time the USA fucked around with the ionosphere was a bit of a disaster. Please do not do this again; just leave it alone. Wired article. They are also an object group on stuffin.space.
Hang on, you're applying one set of standards to the written manual and another to the to the video material.
"A well-written guide, with clear and well-chosen screen-shots, is more valuable"
Is not the same as:
"very hard to write properly. The fact that it's also very hard to speak clearly, be concise, and have a voice that doesn't irritate, seems to escape the vast majority of idiots that make these videos.".
Yes, crap videos are crap. And great written manuals are awesome. I agree completely.
My one exception is for software video tutorials. It's great for me able to walk a user through a complex operation showing them exactly where to click and quickly summarizing what options do what.
This is, of course, in addition to a detailed technical manual, but you can only squeeze in so many screen captures!
I use Sandboxie a lot for software evaluation purposes. However, when I right click an executable and want to choose "Run Sandboxed" that entry is right next to the "Run as Administrator" menu item. Late at night it's easy to click the wrong one, with potentially disastrous* consequences! The UAC prompt saved me a couple of times.
Since then I've found moving to virtual machines with snapshots has been an easier and safer way for testing unknown software.
*Time vs time. Everything is backed up and best practices are always followed. But it's always a question of how much time is available to recover.
A good example is the way keys are generated automatically for Windows Remote Desktop.
The system regenerates these automatically every 6 months. There is no way to manage this process (as far as I can tell, links welcome!) so as a user I get semi-regular warnings while connecting to regular hosts that the connection is not secure. At that point I have no way of knowing if the keys simply expired or I am being subjected to a MITM attack...:( What to do?
Your assertions are absolutely fine to make: but to convince me, I'll need to see some evidence. Ideally some repeatable experiments showing that your insight on the fundamental structure of the universe has some merit.
Looking forward to it, I too am a physicist and am frustrated that over the course of my professional career (not quite 25 years) these fundamental questions have not been answered.

Mind blown. The AC is right!
Would you go further and claim that RAID1 disks can always be read as independent disks after they have been removed from the array?
Serious question.
"thats pretty extreme on wallet."
Not really. Though you will probably pay more for a motherboard that supports it.

He he, easily done I guess: poor patio!

"The good news is the upper class is growing."
In volume (# of people, ideally as a percentage of total population) or in net worth?
The stats look different to what you are saying. Read this and come back to me: am happy to discuss.
Wasted opportunity. Yes, wipe the drives as you do: then fill them with encrypted backups. At the very least those "dust collectors" may be useful in the future. Otherwise, smash the top of the drive with a hammer hard enough to damage the platter(s) and throw them in the bin.
Stop worrying about the middle class, the USA doesn't have one any more!

You're absolutely wrong.

There's a good section in this about birth control in France.
"On the surface, caring for a robo-baby for a few months should be a reasonable approximation of that. Where it falls down is not the lack of body fluids, I think, but the knowledge that (a) it's only a grade, not a life and (b) it is only a few months.

"It appears that Bluetooth 5.0 may provide support for higher quality audio"
So the sane decision is to wait until BT5.0 is out, widely adopted, and stable, before cutting the cord, yes?
The end user still needs to use a client terminal of some kind, which we supply, but yes, doing it that way would allow any terminal to do the job.
My main concern will be latency, as I need to deliver a HD (> 3MP) video feed at 20fps to the user.
But you've given me something to think about. Thanks.

Yes Wired sucks balls. That's why I posted the Wikipedia and stuffin.space links as well.
Should we boycott paywall and anti ad-blocking sites (Wired, Forbes, etc...) completely?
