Yeah. I don't like it. And in a perfect world, it wouldn't be that way. But I'll be damned if I'm going to be stripped of my liberties just because the government can't legitimately catch a criminal any other way...
Really. Care to explain how you're less secure on two operating systems that are still receiving support and patches vs their new adware delivery platform?
Actually, having dealt with MSSQL for most of the last 20 years, I'll say this much.
While MSSQL can be a tetching beast at times, the SSMS interface is surprisingly useful.
If I need to, I can chuck command line all day.
But if I don't need to, and I'm going to be spending a lot of time doing multiple tasks in a single SQL server instance, there are worse ways to do it than SSMS.
No. You have to be retarded NOT to. Given full information.
Not the shiny-happy-speak that the entire renewables industry is pushing, along with the "Nuclear = BOMBZ!!!!" movement.
And what's going to threaten the structural integrity of a powerplant in the middle of the fucking french countryside? It's not like they're a high frequency earthquake zone. And nobody's stupid enough to NOT do geological surveys on land where they're going to build a reactor. So the possibilities of it disappearing down a sinkhole are slim. Same thing goes for building it on a flood plain.
And deliberate bombing? You DO understand that these sites have security to prevent that right?
So what are you expecting? A meteor to fall out of the sky and god-rod the site?
I think the chances of a reactor melting down after losing power due to getting slammed by a tsunami and flooding out due to having an insufficiently high sea wall are pretty slim when they're located in the middle of the French countryside.
I really, REALLY wish people would stop using incidents like Fukushima out of context like this. It makes the people doing it sound like fucking morons.
"And how many applications require 2.5 Gigabyte/sec throughput from the disk subsystem?"
There are games in development
Ah, the eternal refrain.
Most of the stuff you're talking about happens with things in-memory. Not on-disk. And that's getting more common as system memory counts keep going up. And where are things being swapped to? Not the NAS, the local SSD in the system.
So, with GbE, you MAY notice a bit of latency when the game first loads. But no more than if it were running off a local hard drive. And if the throughput is an issue, there's 10GbE.
Instantaneous transfer of small/medium files is always nice.
At 128 Megabytes/second, small and medium file transfer is ALREADY instantaneous.
Now, if you're CONSTANTLY moving huge files around, then look at 10GbE.
If you're looking at doing it for multiple users, look at link aggregation.
Built-in RAID has problems. Storage tends to be limited because, as disks get larger, you run ever-greater risks of throwing a URE while restoring an array with a disk failure.
And how many applications require 2.5 Gigabyte/sec throughput from the disk subsystem?
And is there any truly appreciable difference across a 128 Megabyte/sec (GbE) or 1.2 Gigabyte/sec (10GbE), other than in moving large files from the get go? ESPECIALLY if you can put a high-throughput, low-latency (SSD) array for working files, and leave bulk storage to a separate array of large hard drives.
Sure, such things are PROBABLY overkill for a single user.
Allowing idiots to marshal public sentiment and essentially destroy the nuclear power industry in the US. Had this not been allowed to happen, most of these plants would be gone and we'd be on to newer, safer generations of power plants by now.
"We're firing US workers and hiring H1B workers because we need more skilled workers and competition is fierce."
Uh. WHAT?
If they need MORE skilled workers, and the pool of US workers is too small, HIRE FROM THE H1B POOL AND KEEP YOUR EXISTING WORKERS!
But, again, we know this isn't truly about a dearth of talent in the worker pool.
It's actually about a race to the bottom for salaries and the money saved by paying pennies on the dollar to the equivalent of an IT sweat shop. Economizing US workers out of their livelihoods.

They should each make troll videos showing a burka'ed head fellating them while they eat bacon, drink a beer and wipe their butts with the ISIS flag. All while mumbling "Run from the bombs, run from the tanks, you can't handle the truth!"
This is the school system where less than 25% of high school graduates exit in a college-ready state. And even then, most of those need remedial courses.
And they want to start teaching CS?
So, what? They're going to dumb it down to the "Magic Smoke" principle?
CPS has MORE than enough problems as it is. Shoddy funding. Shoddy teachers (though not all of them are shoddy by any means). Shoddy facilities.
They can barely teach reading, writing and arithmetic!
This is basically a waste of time, money, and these childrens' educational opportunities.
All so someone can grab some headlines...
Oh wait, that's Chicago! Who cares what it is, so long as it grabs headlines!

Yeah. I don't like it.
And in a perfect world, it wouldn't be that way.
But I'll be damned if I'm going to be stripped of my liberties just because the government can't legitimately catch a criminal any other way...
Yes. Yes we can.
Because the government has no legitimate reason to demand ad-hoc access to any device at any time.
If this means, on occasion, that the government can't get into a given criminal's devices? C'est la vie.
The government couldn't get someone like Al Capone for mob activity or running illegal alcohol.
They had to be creative in how they got at him.
Basically the government isn't arguing that they CANNOT get the data.
Just that it's HARD to. And they want an easy back door into systems.
And they're now willing to completely compromise user safety on more than just phones.
The government needs to be told "Fuck No" as forcibly as possible.
Really. Care to explain how you're less secure on two operating systems that are still receiving support and patches vs their new adware delivery platform?

Thing is, even if you DID pay for Windows 10, it STILL comes with the Windows Updates compulsory malware delivery system.
THIS is why Windows Updates NEEDS to be under end-user control.
Because with mandatory updates, like this one, killing systems, Windows Updates becomes the world's first compulsory malware delivery system.

The nuclear industry only has itself to blame.
Yeah, that's bullshit first to last.
I'm not saying that the industry itself is blameless.
I'm just saying that it having ONLY itself to blame is crap.
People have been getting indoctrinated into the "Nuclear = BOMBZ!" cult for most of the last 70 years.
And?

Never going to happen.
The idiots currently in charge of the company are too invested in slobbing the Google knob to actually do something smart with their company.
That'll hopefully teach them not to rely on civilian navigation tools that assume peacetime.
You deserve it!
Thank you for misreading and then restating my entire point.
I can't believe the bullshit logic.

Never mind that while it may, technically, be a legal request at this point, it's STILL legal for Apple to challenge this in court.
No! Let's pander to the media!
Asshats.
