Uhhh, you realise that Ariane 5 has launched many many many missions successfully, and has a better reliability record than the US's launch vehicles, right?
SpaceX is in fact the untested upstart in this situation.
Why on earth would they not get to find out? While you're an inmate, they are directly responsible for your care. They need to know what is and has been wrong with you so that they can get that right.
The justification is that it's not the site's revenue, it's the advertisement company's revenue. What you're doing is stopping them from harvesting your private data. The dick move is the company trying to grab my data, not me trying to stop them.
See, I'm far from a freetard who thinks he's got the right to other people's work. But...
If your business model is to make content freely available, with no contract, in a format that's trivially modified, where it's known that there are tools for hiding advertisments, then, you're doing it wrong.
If I walk through a mall, I'm perfectly at liberty to hold up my hand and cover up people's adverts so that I don't see them. The same is true on the internet.
The question is, were they already at 1% before they started stacking 32 on top of each other, because the drive firmware sure as hell can't cover up for 32%* of the drive being screwed.
Actually, it is for every transaction, but it is paid only on the value added, and usually passed along to the next person in the buying chain.
If I as company A buy bolts for a widget from company B, and pay £1 for them, and then sell my widget to person C for £5, I pay £1 VAT (and likely actually sell the widget for £6), and recoup £0.20 in VAT refunds. company B meanwhile pays £0.20 in VAT, and gets some smaller amounts in refunds because he bought the metal and tools from another company, etc.
Of course they don't - governments are an entirely human construct, so they have no inalienable rights at all.
However, the vast majority of society sees creating a pot of money from which we pay for shared resources as a valuable and useful thing. We then expect everyone to pay their fair share into said pot given that they are sharing said resources.
If they have money to drink they can afford to pay for their own rehab. The taxpayers shouldn't have to shell out anything.
Hmm? What makes you think that? Assuming we're talking about an alcoholic here (not just someone who had 3 drinks and then was dumb and drove home, which is actually more likely), most alcoholics will go out of their way to find the best price to alcohol ratio they possibly can. Typically they'll be shit faced on 2 £3 six-packs, are you asserting that you can get rehab for £6 a day?
We can't even find the money to make sure that everyone in our own countries are treated without bankrupting them, what makes you think we'd be able to pay another country's medical bills too?
I'm sorry, but that's bullshit. The reason to learn and use cursive is because it's much more efficient in terms of writing large amounts.
That's the point... (almost) no one does that any more. For those that actually at some point in their life write more than a few sentences in a row by hand, they certainly can go out and learn cursive. But to teach everyone to write cursive, because 0.01% of them at some point might have need to write out many pages of text, rather than just typing it (as 99.99% wold), is ridiculous. That time absolutely is better spent teaching people to type efficiently.
Man, it's amazing how many people who think they rock at writing, really suck at reading. They're not stopping teaching writing with pen and paper. They are stopping teaching cursive. Printing is faster for note taking anyway, cursive is just a way of trying to make your writing prettier.
For reference, no, they don't actually do a bunch of copying between objects, they just abstract pointers behind pass-by-reference semantics. Swift even takes this one step further, and for structs/enums (which, like C, are pass-by-value), it implements pass-by-value using copy on write, so it in fact does even fewer copies than a C program would (without the programmer jumping through hoops to implement copy on write himself).
There usually *are* more inefficiencies in high level languages (usually due to the fact that they do more small heap allocations), but the one you identified is not accurate.
None, Scotland gets 8% of the revenue for the UK, has 10% of the population, and pays 12% of the taxes. Scotland in fact (slightly) subsidises England.
No, it doesn't. It doesn't protect you against losing data in a fire, it doesn't protect you against losing data to malware, and it doesn't protect you against losing data to making a mistake. All changes are automatically propagated across all disks. Backup protects you against losing data.
What RAID 15 does is protects you against losing a day of work because one disk failed - that is, it protects against loss of uptime.

You mean you got hit by the 7200.11 bug and didn't do any research into it to discover that it's a firmware issue with a simple fix?
Even if the second amendment were to cover this, the second amendment doesn't allow you to actually shoot someone (or to DDoS them).

Wow... I guess we shouldn't educate our children then, that way our skills will be forever valuable, because no one else will ever be able to do them.
This is such an insightful comment, I just can't believe I didn't think of this huge breakthrough in cultural politics before.

The problem is, 50-60 US cents per gig would be pretty expensive by modern flash's standards.
But flash was already that cheap, so that would hardly be a breakthrough.
The question is, were they already at 1% before they started stacking 32 on top of each other, because the drive firmware sure as hell can't cover up for 32%* of the drive being screwed.
So then, 0.1 times what an SSD will take, even if you keep it for a decade?

"The Savon Sanomat newspaper reports that from autumn 2016 cursive handwriting will no longer be a compulsory part of the school curriculum."
I mean... sure, it's slashdot tradition to not read the article, but to not even read the first 3 sentences of the summary...

As I've said several times through this thread - yes, it was. What it couldn't do (that ENIAC could) is store its program.
No, Colossus was General Purpose - ENIAC was the first general purpose, stored program computer.
Colossus absolutely was general purpose - it just wasn't stored program. You had to set it up fresh for each program.
