Reimage monkeys were never valuable, they were a necessary evil that companies tolerated while they had to. If you didn't drive your skills up the value chain then you either lack the ability to or you lack ambition, neither of which generally leads to a lucrative career path. Heck, when VMWare and other vendors try to sell me expensive management tools to save me time I laugh because my team spends probably only 15-20% of our time doing management of the infrastructure, the rest is spent working on projects that bring value to the business.
The talent agencies are desperate for growth, they've already massively consolidated and recently started buying the sports management companies, so I'm sure if they think they can make money off the arrangement they'll try. The problem for programmers is that even really, really good ones only make 2-3x the league minimum for the major sports leagues so agents might not want to deal with the work for their 10% cut.
Silver is 3x more rare and is mined at ~18,000t per year, so again you can reasonably expect ~60kt per year if prices support the effort (though that's a bit misleading since elemental silver veins happen in numerous places but In has not been found in similar streaks)
GaAs chips have a very high thermal tolerance, temperatures of 250C have been shown to have no impact on MTTF, this is ~250% better than Si. The bigger issue is what do you attach them to, most commonly available PCBs can't handle that, though solutions do exist since I've read about very high temperature GaAs chips used in jet engine monitoring and control.
Doubtful, Ga isn't that rare, we mine ~254t per year mostly as a byproduct of Al smelting, this is fairly small compared to ~54,000t for Si use in semiconductors, but is quite high given the fairly small market for it today. To give you an idea Lithium is slightly less common in the crust but annual production is ~30,000t.
It's definitely slowing down, Westmere EX was 2.6B in early 2011, Haswell EP 5.69B in late 2014 so roughly 42 months to double (Haswell die is ~20% bigger accounting for the 220% count instead of 200%) . A large part of that slowdown though might be economics, Westmere was surely started before the financial crisis and Haswell likely during or after so Intel might have slowed development (especially since on these large parts they don't have any meaningful competition except at the very high end from IBM and Oracle)
Yeah, or maybe it's because this outbreak killed more people than all previous outbreaks combined. For example this report from 2003 lists 128 total deaths in a remote area of the Congo, at the peak of this outbreak there were more people than that dying per day in Sierra Leone. It's pretty understandable that you don't spend billions on research and development for a drug that might be used on 40 people per year on average but would on a drug that can stop a global pandemic.
The fact is since this is a web vulnerability it will be exploited by XSS attacks from compromised ad networks and also will be included in many exploit kits, you won't have to have remote management enabled for this to be exploited, it will just make it slightly more difficult if you don't.
As to DD-WRT, if they supported the OpenDNS family settings with bypass accounts like the stock firmware I'd consider it, but for me it's a killer feature, and MAC based exceptions aren't an answer because we have shared PC's that may be used by both the kids and adults.
Vasectomies have potentially serious side effects, both in the short term, and in the long term (hormone issues), plus as others have pointed out they're more or less permanent (reversals are expensive and nowhere near 100% successful) .
The published dates for the tests were less than 5 months apart, and the reason they used SQL 2014 is that it's what their customers are actually using, fewer shops are picking Oracle due to their licensing stupidity.
60 physical cores + 60 hyperthreading units, kind of like how all the current gen SPARC processors have 8 thread pipelines but two execution units per core. The T5-4 has 64 cores and 128 execution units and the performance is actually pretty close to the DL580 Gen8 so it's not a horrible way to compare systems. Oracle systems go a bit bigger with the T5-8, but my point is that you can go nearly as big with x64, and VMWare allows you to create essentially arbitrary sized containers from the hardware, just like LPARs on SPARC (VMWare 6 supports 128 vcpu's and 4TB of ram per VM so you can use as much of the machine for each guest as you want). The number of workloads that won't fit into a VM on x64 are vanishingly small, so your quip about "That has nothing to do with running a debian VM with 4 x86 cores and 2GB RAM on a Suse Linux or Windows host." is unjustified.
Then you suck at tuning, it's trivial to get 90% throughput VM versus physical, and with a bit of effort you can achieve 95+% (VMWare actually managed to get over 100% on some Java tests due to scaling issues with the JVM, running lots of clustered smaller instances on multiple machines was faster than running bigger instances or lots of small instances on one machine).
Uh, DL580 G8, 120 threads and 3TB of ram. Heck, my VMWare hosts are 40 threads and 384GB of RAM, we run everything except Oracle DB and OBIEE on them, and only then due to licensing idiocy, not capability or reliability.
That's nice, and for those of us who want to spend less than $1M per year per box there's VMWare which provides nearly the same uptime at a fraction of the cost, and we don't have to put up with IBM. Commoditization is a good thing for the customer.
Given the fact that they outsourced Power chip production you have to wonder how long that will be true. Then again HP outsourced their processor development to Intel over a decade ago and they still sell Itanium, so it might be a long time before they give up that gravy train.
How about look at TPC-H, where in the 10TB test the T5-4 gets beat in performance by the DL580 G8 and the x64 system is half the cost per transaction? The number of shops that need more than 120 threads and 3TB of ram is vanishingly small.
The CRA did NOT cause the financial crisis! This has been debunked many times. In fact in ~75% of communities CRA loans had lower default rates through late 2009 than traditional conforming loans (let alone crap like interest only, sub-prime, and liar loans) due to more stringent underwriting criteria. No, the cause was improperly rated securities comprised of crap that was sold in bundles to the big banks and through the back door to Fannie and Freddie.
Bullshit! First solar uses cadmium telluride cells, cadmium and telluride are two of the 17 rare earths. Don't be such a condescending ass when you are flat out wrong.
without blasting the top off of a single mountain or pouring contaminates into rivers
Well, there are all the rare earths needed to make 2,900 acres worth of panels, so it's not like it's for free. In fact on a per MWhr basis I'm willing to bet that nuclear fission is still more environmentally friendly (though heat pollution of the cooling water source can be an issue depending on where the plant is sited).
Google now in Lollipop will be in always listening mode (by default, once you confirm the privacy statement) if there is a dedicated hardware voice component (like those found on the Moto X, Galaxy S5, and Nexus 6).
There are three truths in life: Jewish people do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian faith. Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor store.

It can't be seized through civil forfeiture quite as easily.

Uh, none of the listed models are cloud connected (that's reserved for the WNDR3800).
