Because a 767 full of fuel for a transcontinental flight is the biggest non-nuclear explosive yet invented. Oh and because even the one that landed in a field in Pennsylvania killed a couple hundred people.
You do realize with DGPS that planes can take off, fly, and land themselves *today*, right? In fact they could and did do it 10 years ago. The only reason the pilot is there is to make you feel good and to take over in the.001% of cases where the flight is not routine.
Well yeah, since they are a cornerstone member of MPEG-LA they stand to make a LOT of money off H.264 winning. Though it seems likely that VP8 would be infringing anyways (look at how little the VLC guys had to do to adapt the H.264 code to decode VP8).
Exactly, I figure they already know everything about me, why give out information to yet ANOTHER 3rd party. I'm normally pretty careful with my information, to the point where I've been denied the ability to rent a car because they would not take no for an answer on home phone number, but Google offers me enough value in services to give up some of that anonymity.
Looks like you can export your stuff into a standard Netscape bookmark format, import that into firefox and use the google toolbar in firefox to cram them into google bookmarks (or at least you could a year ago, not sure if that feature is still in the google toolbar as I don't run it).
If you're a google user then there's a google bookmarks marklet that allows you to quickly add sites to your google bookmarks from any browser and there's a widget for igoogle that makes it fairly easy to use.
Not to mention if they had added three characters the LM hash trick wouldn't have worked because it can only store two 7 character halves so a 15 digit password leaves only the old invalid LM hash in the table. This is why I advocate password phrases, easy to remember but hard to crack and they work wonderfully on most OS's but unfortunately not most websites as the idiots are worried about the couple of extra bytes for storing a decent length password. I would much rather have the password "this is my password and there are many like it" than "Fgpyyih804423"
Except for the fact that this is called out in the admin guide and it's recommended that you change it. Of course I'm sure lots of people set them up without reading the guide (it's pretty thick) so they should probably have a wizard to change the default at first login like Brocade does.
Actually large scale farms tend to use less chemicals per acre specifically because they are such a large input into their cost structure. They also tend to be early adopters of things like satellite based growth tracking so they can target the use of chemicals only to those areas that need them. They may be to blame in not accounting for external costs (like killing off bees with insecticides) but blaming them for the overuse of chemicals flies in the face of the economic reality of large scale farming.
No, the computers that the term supercomputer was coined for were all special purpose vector machines that couldn't even run an OS, they had to be fronted by a management processor. Only much later were clusters of commodity machines (often with specialized interconnects for high bandwidth and low latency) accepted as contenders for the name. Now with Cell and GPU's we are getting back to fast vector machine with a management computer in the front but now the front end computer is capable of computations (at least in the case of the GPGPU machines) and each machine is a few rack units instead of a couple racks.
Oh, and the measure you are looking for are Rmax to Rpeak which will tell you how efficient the machine is (at least for LINPACK which may or may not track with your own code depending on how chatty it is in comparison to the benchmark).
A) Go back to using PS/2 for keyboard and mouse, I never stopped using them for servers because the KVM's are just more reliable with it than USB. Now you can disable USB without an issue.
B) Yes having the guys with guns tell you that you may not have that on base is generally a good enough deterrent.
The normal practice in these sorts of things is to "sell" the asset off into a shell company which racks up the lawyer debt, if they win they pay some insane percentage to the parent company as residuals, if they lose there are no assets to come back on for the counter party lawyers fees or any countersuit.
You're right, I think by the industries definitions they would be a regional craft brewer not a micro. They still make some damn good brew including possibly the worlds best nut brown ale =)
Tell me about it, I still have about 20 out of 45 gallons of 8-10% ABV beer I brewed 18 months ago. Of course it's not all I drink because I like variety and have been on a whisk(e)y kick of late.
Ohio was bad over a decade ago but they've done a pretty good job of liberalizing the laws. We now have Sunday sales, the state liquor stores were privatized, grocery stores can now have a liquor department without a separate mailing address (they used to have to be a store within a store with seperate infrastructure and outside door and mailing address), and they lifted the cap on ABV for beer. Other than restricted hours and the fact that you technically can't buy liquor unless it goes through the state warehouse we're pretty good these days (I wanted a single malt that was on the state list but which they failed to order for 6 months so I picked it up on a trip out of town).
I actually buy most of my wine by the box. Since I'm the only serious wine drinker in the house a bottle just ends up wasting 3-400ml most of the time but I usually only waste the same amount from a 3L box due to the longer shelf life. Blackbox wines actually makes really good wine and it's reasonably priced at ~$25 for the equivalent of 4 bottles (closer to what the French and Spaniards pay for good table wine). They are winning awards and getting recommendations from the likes of wine spectator so it's really only the snobs that are missing out on some good reasonably priced wine =)

My Radeon 5750 has VGA, 2xDVI, and HDMI and annoyingly it only shows POST to the VGA adapter so to troubleshoot I have to bring up the 15" LCD from the basement because the 42" display doesn't have a VGA input.

Server motherboards tend to have them and they tend to be significantly more reliable than USB when using a decent KVM. On the other hand ilo/DRAC/BMC tend to make them significantly less important.
"Local" services often means regional or national datacenter. 60% of my users would be without email or only have it available on their Blackberry if their internet connection went down (well the Blackberry is also a backup internet connection but that's only about 1/3rd of my users) or if we were under a DDoS at HQ, I fail to see how that's any different from a cloud model. The government is pushing for centralized datacenters to reduce cost so you have the same problem either way. Besides it's much easier to provide highly available and redundant services when they are centralized so real world availability is generally raised despite a possible increased potential risk.

This is one of many reasons I continue to advocate that if it's not offline it's not a backup.
IT people can cause havok, bad accountants and executives cause Enron and Health South.

They already have one of the better ones in the country, Goose Island =)
I know it's Wikipedia but I know of at least 3 townships within 20 miles of me that are dry and are not on that list.

They do that in Chicago and California as well, but the real treat in S LA is the drive through daiquiri shops =)

Yeah but Fox or CBS would have been much bigger wins since they have a significantly better lineups (personal opinion but backed by Nielson numbers).
