  1. Re:Apple does not have server hardware on Apple Stores iCloud Data With Google (crn.com) · · Score: 1

    X2go, a variant of the NX protocol, blows the socks of VNC or remote X sessions. You should give it a try. NoMachine makes a commercial version, and allows you to run up to 2 connections with their free version, but why deal with that when X2go works so well.
    Audio is great, video can be a bit choppy, but it's watchable, on a 1.5Mb upstream connection.

  2. Yeah, when you someone says SJW, I immediately assume they are only interested in flinging poop, not fixing problems.
    No thanks.

    I have a remote server at home that I used to run console only (SSH). I found there were some things I just couldn't do via console. At the time, I think it was primarily Keepass and there were no Bittorrent clients with integrated search.
    Now I run X2go and I get all that (qbittorrent if you were curious) and way more. I still have access to the console via a handy Konsole window.

    Actually, its' more like 45-48% D and 38-41% R's. That's why R's benefit from low voter turnout. If you did a landmass survey it might be closer to even, because D's tend to cluster and R's tend to spread out. It's probably a rural vs urban thing, but might also have to do with the even assholes don't want to be around other assholes.
    Somebody should do a study.

    That's excellent. Coverage should not be linked to employers. Unfortunately, the only way to do that is a individual mandate or a single payer system. If we're going to force people to have something, why not make it most efficient and easiest by going to single payer? There is plenty of room for private insurance on top of a comprehensive standard policy.
    I agree, it should absolutely cover things that are discovered when you have insurance. That should spur research towards cures, not long term treatments.

    Judging from your signature, I often don't like the choices people make, but I like the fact that people make choices. That's why I'm a conservative., you must love Obama Care. Somebody finally touched one of those untouchable systems that clearly needed tons of reform. Almost any change is good because it starts the inertia moving towards something better (almost anything would be better).

    ...the management is very much in the saddle--and in most of these larger companies it is virtually self-perpetuating. How else could things be run in, let us say, the American Telephone Company, which has over a million shareholders, no one of whom owns more than one-tenth of one per cent of the stock? Looking at this segment of American business, we would almost find it appropriate to call our present economic system "managementism" rather than "capitalism."

    It looks like the design rely's on airflow pulled in at the bottom and released at the top, probably generated by the movement of the hot air rising. Putting this in a "slot" under a desk would probably restrict that airflow and make it overheat. Putting it on the floor, would probably result in dust eventually clogging the lower intake ports and overheating the system.

  23. Careful, that's how they get you. They take a side and the people who agree find themselves listening, slowly other things creep in.

    NPR usually strikes a more balanced view. While you and I have (the same) well thought out opinion, not everyone has made up their mind and it's only fair to give both sides of the issue. It gives people experience in sniffing out the crap and hearing what is not said.
