yeah, somewhere in the first 30 seconds, don't they have to power down a little as they break the sound barrier? There's no way it could have lasted even up to that point.
It doesn't matter how old the carbon is. If we spew more carbon than is scrubbed, it's imbalanced. If you could push a magic button and make all carbon emissions based on carbon that was in the air in "the past two years", we quickly run out of fuel.
Critical systems should be on a UPS and have frequent backups... it makes those session much less drastic. That said, ext3 has always been an easier repair.
Well, any state of war is bad (I think that's your point), but I offer you 416,000 examples of why "all states of war are equal" is a mistake to think. Compare that to the current war's 5,000ish figure and you can better visualize the point of the GGP.. BTW, figures are fatal U.S. military casualties only
... and compare that to drunk driving: In 2006, there were 13,470 fatalities in crashes involving an alcohol-impaired driver (BAC of.08 or higher)... or heart disease, or cancer... relatively, this war has pretty light casualties.
OTOH, comparing those numbers to the risk of a terrorist attack on US soil, I have to say, who cares about homeland security? I'm much more likely to be hit by a drunk driver than I am to be attacked by a terrorist.
It needs context. A grocery store with 30M gross sales but 50M costs, not so good. I assume the importance of that value is that it is close to becoming profitable on its own, and that is always an important step, no matter if it is $1k or $500M.
"On the night of the shooting in October 2007, Petric used his father's key to open a lockbox and remove a 9mm handgun and the game, the court heard."
Okay, why hasn't anyone even mentioned the "9mm handgun"? To my simple, unAmerican mind, that seems far more like a murder weapon than the video game.
Talk about elephant in the room.
I'm more concerned about the murderer in the room. The gun was just the handy weapon of choice, and the game was just the final straw - there was obviously a bigger problem already afoot.
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.
And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.
(I have savings for 2-3 years, if after deflation don't come hiperinflation, I expect to survive without major problems).
I just have to say, congrats on making wise choices and saving that money up. if more people and companies would have that foresight, we all might weather hard times a lot better.
Which misses the point of this article: Mirroring is not a backup solution.
No, you missed the point - replication is a solution to give you a point where you can make a snapshot, which can then be backed up safely to get a valid point in time backup. It's part of the overall chain.
1) Automated - if you need human intervention, it will fail
2) Point-in-time - the system must be able to provide restores for a set of times, as fitting for the turn around on your data. A good default is: daily backups for a week, weekly for a month, and monthly for a year
3) TESTED: You must fully test the restoration process (if this can be automated, even better). Backups that you can't restore from a bare machine are worthless.
For better disaster recovery, backups should be:
4) offsite - if a fire or tornado hits, is the backup somewhere else?
5) easily accessible - how long will it take to get the restore going?
My understanding of the Ribbon was that their goal was to expose functionality that's always existed but was hidden too deep to ever be of use - and they certainly did that.
... at the expense of hiding often used functionality so deep that you can't find it.
Tell me, in power point, if you have a few slides in one files that you want to copy exactly as-is to another file, how do you go about it?
Hint, it used to be called "import slides from file..."
(I know where it is now, but it's a pain in the rear to find it)
I for one despise automatic updates. On Windows, that means a nagging "please reboot your computer" box every few minutes, usually when I'm in the middle of something important. In both Windows and OS X, that could easily mean an unusable machine when it reboots - it's happened all too often.
On Linux, automatic updates has replaced a custom rpm build with a package of lesser features, and broken a mail server.
That said, it's probably more a side effect of me being a power user and sysadmin - the end user probably needs it to either be automatic, or very naggy. I've had updates cause problems on all three platforms, I don't want it to be automatic.
Was it reasonable that those users would install an official update with no indication that there was a risk to their system?
Experience has shown me the err of that thinking... After having some bungled upgrades (3 out 6 have left me in a repeated reboot), I always make a disk image backup to an external drive before doing the upgrade. If it does mess up, all I have to do is re-image the disk and try again.
Im not so sure about putting graphics stuff in the kernel?
Because the whole job of the kernel, aka the Operating System, is to interface between hardware and user land, and ideally to do so in the most efficient manner useful to the user space programs.
When I pass, I wait until I can see both headlights of the car I passed in my rearview mirror. Then I signal and move over. Anyone who thinks I wait too long to move over or who, worse, tries to shoot through the gap between us is an incompetent menace.
Thank you, I'm not alone!!!! This is what is taught in drivers ed, and it just makes good sense. The tailgating jerks can just wait, they aren't really going to get there much faster anyway.
Sounds like the Mr. Movie on Spaceballs where the new movie comes out before they are done filming it...
Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at?... When does this happen in the movie? Colonel Sandurz: Now, You're looking at now sir...Everything that happens now is happening now.

Dark Helmet: Now. Colonel Sandurz: Now? Dark Helmet: Now. Colonel Sandurz:I can't Dark Helmet: Why? Colonel Sandurz: We missed it. Dark Helmet: When? Colonel Sandurz: Just now.

Technician: It's the moon of Vega Colonel Sandurz: Good work. Set a course and prepare for our arrival Dark Helmet: When? Technician: Nineteen hundred hours, sir!

I've been to the Kansas Cosmosphere where they have several space vehicles on display, including the Apollo 13 module - it's a great museum.
I don't know if they have the kind of budget to try for this but I hope they can. They are also one of the premier shops when it comes to restoring such items; They actually did the work for the spacecraft in the Apollo 13 movie.

So you think people would pay to have early access to buggy (beta) software?
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
I get all my nuke sub info from Tom Clancy novels.... /ducks

A wise man once told me, "10% of life is what happens to you, the other 90% is how you deal with it."
Sound like this quote by Charles Swindoll:
Who then should issue certificates? The only entity that doesn't have to make money--your governments.
Specifically, I would opt for Notary Public, maybe as a specially trained office, but the function is nearly identical.

This is what logwatch is for. I glance over it once a day.
