IANASA*, but wouldn't putting the data servers (DB servers?) in separate machines and physically disconnecting the power before allowing access to the other machines be enough?
It wouldn't as a compromised machine would just need to wait until the db gets back online...
As stated in other replies, you can right click to create a link, but you can also press shift+ctrl while dragging and the drop action will be to create a link.
This kind of behavior modifier is standard in windows, osx & linux.
Far from it; the bald, white space-marine is one of the most over-used characters in modern gaming. But it increasingly rare that they are lone heroes. A shift towards team-based, co-op featured games is undeniable. In this way, mainstream video games, even those seemingly void of political statement, are implicitly political.
No, they're not "political". You can interpret Mozart's Fifth to be racist, but that doesn't mean he wrote it that way. If you keep looking for racism everywhere, you are racist: everyone else doesn't think about it all the time.
I believe you're the mistaken one. As adequately put by Virginie Despentes in her book King Kong Theorie, some ideas are so ingrained in our own culture that we end up failing to even see them in action.
The most interesting part is that you accept those ideas even if they are detrimental to yourself just because "it's the way things go".
You can also think about The Matrix, ie. when you're part of a system you easily become blind to its limitations and can even come to defend them (becoming an agent).
To get back to your point, what i mean is it would be ok to acknowledge an portrayed idea, or some kind of interpretation of a piece, but not adhere to it.
On the contrary, dismissing the idea as non existent or something like that does not reflect a better or more elaborate point of view.
More simply put, not seeing is bad, seeing but not caring is somewhat better.
Of course when you introduce a new type of warning, it will show up a lot in any kind of big project. Developpers didn't have feedback about this particular warning before so they didn't code according to it. Once they start being notified, they will (hopefully) produce code that won't cause this warning and therefore it won't be as common.
That's why my systems always have at least two different partitions: one for "/" and another for "/home". I can reformat my system partition and still have my data intact.
To elaborate on this, what i do is use several smaller system partitions so that i can install different distros (as it turns out, different versions of ubuntu).
If i don't like the one i just installed, i switch to the previous one with no harm done.
What really gets me is how Ultima Underworld never gets the credit it deserves. It shipped before Wolfenstein 3D, and was a better game to boot.
I think you're missing the point.
Wolf 3D was about performance and fast paced action. If i remember correctly, ultima underworld wasn't exactly blazing fast. I remember playing wolf3D on a 386, and i seriously don't believe ultima underworld would have run correctly on this machine.
Id was never about never done before stuff, it's all about technical achievement that allows action games that acually run fast.
Well, duh. Zombies are metaphors for death. We all join them in the end. Any zombie-hunting game where it's possible to "win" is missing the point from square one.
Man, where's the metaphor ? A dead guy as a symbol of death ? It's just literally death, and it bites !
Try a metaphor for people living their lives with a near zero level of consciousness or peer pressure or whatever.
Thing is, the true role of HR is to be the guardian of the company's internal culture.
If the current culture orientation is about talkative employees who are better at politics than project implementation, then that's what HR are going to select. They will then use any mean that will allow them to filter people in this way.
It's really not about finding effective people, it's about finding people that will fit in.
Actually I prefer the trackpad on my EeePC 701 to the one on my MBP. I find it more precise and I prefer the texture of it.
Have I lost all credibility now?
Pretty much !
The mac trackpad is about the only usable one in my book. It's the only one that actually feels right movement wise according u're using osx. Never been able to understand why its feel cannot be replicated neither with linux nor windows.
And don't get me started on the osx two finger scrolling !!
What is the benefit of writing a BIOS in C over assembly code?
Oh man, that is a weird question.
I for one like to think that programming is a good way to make you computational life easier. Using a high level language is not too bad at making that happen. Using assembly will actualy make my life a lot more complicated than it should be.
It might be because i'm not subject to this strange neurosis that make people want to control the exact instructions that go into the registers of their cpus. But somehow, i like it this way.
I'm not even gonna go on the field of performance, because many many other posts are already on the subject.
Do yourself a favor, don't micromanage (and i'm not just talking about code here), it'll make your life easier.
From TFA: "Also, there's no SCP or SFTP feature that I can find comparable to SecureCRT."
WTF ?? Nautilus does handle mounting file system over ssh. It's just as simple as connecting to a samba share. It's event better than secureCRT since it's completely integrated.
I think you're missing a big point being that a computer illiterate person will have an equally hard time using windows and linux (and even osx btw).
Try giving a windows laptop to that grandma who can't operate a stereo and look at her using it without help from someone who knows about the system.
I sometimes get to help some people who really don't know a thing about computers and they have a hard time using the mouse. They also have trouble finding keys on the keyboard. Don't tell me linux is a problem here, whichever the OS is, they will have the same difficulties.
One thing that i like about osx & linux is that when turning on a brand new computer, you don't get hit with a thousand popups asking you what you want to do about the thousand bundled crapware.
Personally, I feel that Linux's file system is even more of a sewer as the Windows file system, and until it takes a major jump up... perhaps it doesn't deserve to be everyone's desktop.
What do Linux filesystems have to do with gaming?
I believe GP is talking about the linux file structure (/usr,/etc,...).

As much as i can agree with you, i must also note that there is no advertising on the page you mentionned. But at least, we can still give the guy the credit he (might) deserves (didn't RTFA).

I for one won't have any good old days with this one.
Getting and installing the 64-bit flash plugin directly from adobe and not from the repository package fixed the non clickable flash issue for me.
Just though you might want to know. Plus there seems to be other ways to solve the problem.
...and trusting that they don't include any evil bits.
Man, i wish i could distinguish the evil bits from the good ones...

there' s no way to take data out except via email.
And maybe using a camera. Guess you forgot all those spy movies from previous century :)

If you want to go the "me first" route, then you should talk about Corporation ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporation_(video_game) ) and Midi Maze ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI_Maze ). Corporation had some RPG components as well.
I'm sure there are even more titles i don't know of.
