I don't like *any* wholly uncooked protein, I love medium-rare burgers but rare is just gross to me, Steak tartare is equally unappetizing as is ceviche. I love sushi made with cooked ingredients but sashimi is definitely not to my palate. It has nothing to do with being uncultured or unadventurous, it's just a sensible personal preference (the Japanese have the highest rate of parasite infection in the world).
Don't be so sure, the NYSE runs largely on HP DL585's running Linux. Their next generation systems appear to be running the Xeon 5500, so probably DL380 G6's.
Because the entire idea of the SEC is that all information is to be known by all parties at roughly the same time, it's why insider trading is illegal for instance.
Not trying to justify anything, just pointing out a simple fact. Normal people do not want to kill other normal people that have not personally harmed them. The way any military gets around this is conditioning and dehumanizing the enemy. This is true of every army. Now if you want to say that we should end war, I absolutely agree but the realist in me says that's not going to happen in any near-term future I can envision.
Exactly, dehumanizing the enemy is a necessary part of war if your soldiers aren't sociopaths (and the US military is fairly good at weeding those out).
Our 250-500kW generators spin up in under 30 seconds even in the dead of Ohio winter (the battery does have a heater, but there is no core heater on the engine itself), the laughable conditions that southern Texas gets wouldn't even require the battery heater. They get maintenance checks a couple times a year, only about 1/4 of those require any actual work.
4MW is really small, I can't believe they don't just use 8x500KW UPS's with generators in a distributed manner around town, would be a heck of a lot cheaper than $25M and you could even setup N+1 redundancy fairly easily and cheaply.
I'll give you a real world example of how this functionality is used. We used Adobe standard to export email from our Lotus Notes email system so that any legal records can be imported into our content management system, these archives are a complete copy of the email records including metadata and attachments stored within a PDF file. Clicking on an attachment in the archive opens the system default viewer for that file type. Turning this feature off would significantly reduce the functionality and user friendliness of the solution.
I'll take 100 servers per admin and 99.995% uptime for last year and no intrustion events in the last 4 years against whatever you've got TYVM. Incompetence doesn't care what platform you run and a good admin can make just about anything work.
Sci-Fi films bacause 8 of the top 10 grossing movies are Sci-Fi
Which brings up a very good point, why do the major networks hate Sci-Fi so much? Is it because Sci-Fi works well for a feature length movie but not for a serial production show with a much smaller per-hour budget?
That would be just about anyone not writing their software in-house. The OS community doesn't seem to embrace Postgresql too enthusiastically and you will almost never find it on the supported RDBMS list for COTS software. We saved enough in development cost by using a COTS reporting package for our ERP system to pay for our Oracle licenses and a Citrix farm for 5 years.
And I'm sure the person(s) doing that study had NO connection or expected future connection to the pharmaceutical industry.... Oh and the goal shouldn't be to sell more drugs, it should be to do the maximum amount of good with the available resources. I'm sure a robocaller reminding people to pickup their already refilled prescription would be a hell of a lot cheaper than the marketing arm of big pharma.
Conversely if you take the money that goes to fat upper management. massive marketing departments, and stockholder profits and plow it back into research you probably end up with more cures. The free market isn't always the most efficient way of accomplishing things despite what some of its adherents like to think.
Making a test that can cheaply identify a specific gene sequence is still a major goal of biotech firms. Today to get a screening for a handful of known cancer and heart disease risks cost over $1,200, much too expensive to be a routine test for the majority of health insurance customers. Drop that cost by 10x and suddenly you have a much larger market.
Gene patents were always dubious to me, however patents on gene detection methods and kits should be fully capable of obtaining patent protection. It's like copyrights on facts vs collections.
Nah, we moved from Blue Stack (IBM Websphere) to Red Stack (Oracle OAS) for free even though our contract was for Blue Stack and we were only a couple years into our deployment and so very unlikely to switch ERP systems. We also were able to to re-purpose licenses from our DR system to our BI system after we explained that we had a warm site that was only tested bi-annually which it turns out does not require dedicated licenses (this isn't in the contract, it's an agreement we reached with our sales team which we do have written proof for). Many people just don't take the time to learn the licensing, so much the worse for them and their employers.
Close enough, it only cost us equipment and lives, not territory or our independance. We certainly didn't lose in the sense of the victors writing the history books, there are no North Vietnamese Communists writing my history books.
DRBD adds 2.2ms of write overhead using 10Gbe according to this paper, that's pretty significant when you are talking about competing with a FC SAN with SSD's =)
Still won't help you since Oracle doesn't recognize VMWare or Hyper-v as a hard partition, only their cruddy Xen implementation which I don't think many places are seriously looking at.
Yes, the sweet spot in the recently released 6 core Xeon running in a UCS C250 G2, ~14 usable cores with hyperthreading and 384GB of ram (I'm making a big assumption which is that Cisco would match the pricing I'm getting from HP right now for 8GB DIMM's). This keeps you in Enterprise licensing instead of Enterprise Plus. If I had a big enough environment I would probably switch, as it is I'm planning to run on no more than 10 DL380 G6's with 144GB of ram each running 5570's, that will be replacing most of my current 160 server environment (I'm already running 42 VM's for new servers on 6 servers with 72GB of ram with plenty of room to spare). I'll be replacing two rows of racks with two racks, SAN and VMWare hosts (actually I'll probably split the hosts into two racks just in case a PDU shorts in such a way that the PSU doesn't isolate it from the motherboard).

they were just targets.
Uh, you're kind of making my point for me....

tftp is non-routed so that won't do you much good for getting malware on a machine.

And I have 200+ Windows boxes supported by myself and a junior admin, what's your point?
Interesting perspective, and I think it might be the best explanation I've seen yet, thanks for the comment.

I don't think many people in the west think of Vietnam as a moral war.
