Then you haven't been paying attention, ATS, Redflex, and the other red light camera companies have been getting bad press all over the country, from Florida, to NJ, to Chicago where Redflex personnel bribed officials to get the $2B contract there, and there are public allegations from a former executive that they routinely bribed officials in at least 13 states: California, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Florida, New Jersey, Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia.
A good friend of mine bought a south korean air rifle, 45 caliber, 1.000fps. He bought it with a few rebuild kits, figures if he every runs out of ammo he can cast bullets and use the air rifle almost indefinitely. He's already taken a Texas deer with it on his property so he knows it's effective. I'm not really into the prepper thing myself but I did love the simplicity of the setup if you are inclined in that direction.
21,200 gallons per day @19knots ~= 46.5gallons/nautical mile or.000042 gallons per ton/mile which is about the most fuel efficient way to transport something ever invented.
That would be incorrect, and switching just 7% of their fuel usage from 1%+ bunker fuel to 0,1% low sulphur fuel is expected to cost Maersk almost a quarter billion dollars, meaning that completely switching to the more processed fuel would cost on the order of $3.8B per year.
When you add in the fact that a warship is supposed to be able to go for at least weeks at a time without any replenishment
Weeks? Try 6+ months for everything but aviation fuel, and even that is around 10-20 days on active war footing (Nimtz class carries enough fuel for ~20 sorties from the full complement of jets)
Hmm, I actually felt bad for the guy who ran the NYC office at my previous employer, he made $115k a year and to be able to afford a three bedroom with a yard he had a two+ hour each way commute to work. He was driving a ten+ year old car and barely managing to save enough to put his kids through school, his own retirement fund was essentially nonexistent. He wasn't wanting for food, but the same salary here in Cleveland has you living fairly well with much more wiggle room.
And you already make 3-4 times what a teacher with an advanced degree does, or a nurse.
In what world? I make less than 150% of the average for a teacher with a masters or an RN in my part of Ohio and I'm pretty highly compensated (technical manager at a larger company) with over 15 years experience in the field. If someone in IT is making 300-400% of those positions then they're either a complete rockstar at a tech firm with tons of free cash or those positions are woefully underpaid in that part of the country and that should probably be fixed.
I've been using Debian since forever, but dash must be a good enough copy of bash that it's never come up, heck I even run Debian on my cellphone via chroot!
Uh, the neighborhood parts store is the epitome of the above in my original post, they stock or have access to stock of OEM, non-OEM compatible, and rebuilds for just about everything including cars that are out of manufacturer support. Thanks for supporting my point =)
You know what's funny, you blast systemd as insecure yet it is every init based system with Bash installed (most of them, though certainly not all) that has been a security issue in the last few weeks thanks to shellshock.
You do the same thing you do with mechanical parts, you buy OEM replacement parts (federal requirements require that a certain number of each part be produced for every x vehicles sold), buy a non-OEM compatible part, or you rebuild or replace the failed component. In the case of the computer controlled battery controller you would install a Tesla spare, a rebuilt Tesla part, another electronically controlled fan, or a simple thermostatically controlled fan with sufficient safety margin to not risk an overheating situation but probably at the expense of some driving range. If you think a 70, or even 20 year old ICE car is going to be a daily driver without some combination of the above you've never worked on anything not supported by a current dealer network.
The registry has always been multi-tenant, even on a standard box with one user it's 5-6 files depending on OS version, and on a terminal server there can be hundreds of registry files open at the same time, plus registry redirection and virtualization is already part of App-V.
If you have a typical asymmetrical connection you'll want to limit your number of peers to ~200 per 1Mbps of upload you have, any more than that and you tend to actually see your download speeds slow as your client uses so much bandwidth managing peers that it chokes off the return packets to keep the download speed going.
A car with a smaller engine will have better MPG than a car with a bigger engine.
Not always true, if the small engine is straining where the big engine is in the optimal portion of its power band then the bigger engine can achieve better fuel economy. This is not generally true as typical commuter type transportation doesn't come near straining even "underpowered" engines, but if you're towing a load near the GVWR or have a heavy foot it can be true.
The X Series keyboard is so very wrong, the T Series keyboard is closer to the correct layout. For years I said I'd pay big cash for a T Series keyboard with trackpoint and Bluetooth to use for my HTPC, but now I don't need it as I have a nice wireless keyboard and a Logitech M570 wireless trackball, I just wish that Logitech had used standard bluetooth instead of their bastardized version so I could use it with things other than a PC.
A good tool for monitoring this stuff if you're on Android is Fuelio, it not only allows you to collect the data but it has all kinds of nice graphing capabilities and the pro version includes the ability to backup to Google Drive or Dropbox, you can also export to CSV if you want to switch applications or do your own data manipulation.
No, HP has promised no such thing, they've promised mainstream support through 2020 and minimal support through 2025 for the Itanium 8.4 release. They've also announced that VMS Software Inc. is the sole provider for future versions of OpenVMS and VMS Software Inc. has announced intentions to port to x86_64 but they make no promises, and can make no promises on HP's behalf.
LOL! Union participation is at an all time low, other than police and sometimes fire unions the public unions have been destroyed or weakened to the point of irrelevance. Heck, even the UAW and Teamsters, some of the strongest unions historically have little power and have given up almost all protections for new members to keep some of the gains for past employees. I'm no lover of the UAW (actually, have many fun stories about how they messed up things for me when I worked for IBM) but even I will say that the idea that they have too much power today, or any time in the last decade or so is silly.
The way we've seen it done is they use the location service in their AP management software to detect rogue AP's, with Cisco this is accurate to a few meters, if you check before any guests have arrived it's easy to pin it to one booth and remind that booth that they aren't allowed to have their own network.
Yeah, we pay several times that for WiFi coverage for our 5 days each year at the Bellagio for our industries trade show. Of course we're paying that to use their infrastructure and bandwidth, our rental agreement prohibits us from using our own WiFi equipment (which sucked the first year there because we were paying for dedicated bandwidth but they initially set us up on the same line as their guest vlan, if we had been able to setup our own equipment ahead of time we would have found the issue before the show and had it corrected instead of it being 4 hours in before it was addressed). I'm rather surprised Marriott decided to block hotspots instead of just adding the clause to their rental contracts and telling exhibitors to shut it down or move out like most convention centers do.

Microsoft uses Akamai, and unless you use their download manager the throughput is kinda crap, at least on AT&T with our own DNS servers.

It actually varies from 94.51×10^6 mi to 91.40×10^6 mi, we're currently ~92.87 ×10^6 mi away from the sun.

Uh, Unicomp still makes the same keyboard, and even offers an updated USB model and they cost only $79 despite being made in the USA.
My Taurus actually did better at 62 than at 55, at 55 it wouldn't use the overdrive gear so the engine was turning much higher RPMs.

Groupwise, duh.
