Or if you believe in evolution, and that the human race is not above evolution, it is normal to have ethnic wars, fought to extermination.
That doesn't make any sense. I believe that evolution works, but there's no reason for changes to be along ethnic lines, nor is killing necessary. All that is required is that the more fit people breed better, whatever that means.
Huh, just get a new box (32G, 1T disk, 4 procs or something) and do the piecemeal migration like Nicolas suggests. I don't pretend to know what your app reqs. are, but some caching is generally a good thing. Still, 150tps should be easy on modern hardware.
It sounds to me like Nissan only looked at MS stuff, and chose their promises in favor of actual mature working products because 'we're a microsoft shop'.
Problem is, some systems are inherently cranky, you've been handed crappy code and not enough time to rewrite it, or the faults are entirely out of your control. Now, isolating for different classes of system, rating admins on a combination of availability and how little work they have to do works just fine. It does require listening to them and enabling them to 'get ahead of the curve' - even the best admin will fail if given a nasty barely functioning system and not enough people to deal with it.
I can't think of anything Microsoft really lost big on. Zune and Vista are at most speed bumps to them and Bill had very little to do with either.
If Zone and Vista are speed bumps, I wonder what you call big. Xbox: still a money hole. zune: very meh, and most of the world simply can't buy one. Msn: yawn... Search: utterly laughable. I can't think of anything outside of the windows and office monopoly that they've really won on. Nothing that will sustain them down the road, anyway.
The teenager cannot enter into a contract on their own, they cannot buy a car, they cannot even buy a cell phone on their own, or get a credit card or bank account. If you allowed them to, you as guardian have control over those assets, and you can shut them all down.
Not true - most people won't contract with a teenager because they can walk away without repercussions. If you insist on controlling a teen as completely as you describe, they can either emancipate themselves and all this stuff you mentioned goes poof or simply wait you out, then leave, never to return. Much better to build a relationship of trust with someone who will very shortly not be beholden to you.
There won't even be a credit rating, which means basically zero chance of renting an apartment (without a huge deposit or someone to co-sign)
Or they can rent a room from someone.
As long as they are a captive audience, highly persuasive means means exist to control them to a great extent, even if they do not wish to be so controlled.
They will remember this and if you piss them off enough, they simply won't talk to you after they're financially stable.
I'll take that bet. I can beat 17k a year working at starbucks and so can the kid. But hell, maybe the kid is actually smart, works for a year, then demands back pay with documentation supporting the notion that the job is a 100hr/wk thing and the management damn well knew it going in. even at 9.61/hr, treble damages and 100hr/wk actual salary can make things very expensive for the employer
I see your point, but if there's a true correlation I think it's much more vague, and to a large degree comes down to personalities as much as upbringing.
Not really. Correlations are a statistical thing, and it doesn't matter why things correlate if you just want to know that they do. By and large, europe has less problems with teen drinking, and it can be argued that it's because alcohol isn't a forbidden thing. You could also point to fewer teen drivers, but I doubt that's the major cause. What's important here is whether gradual introduction of alcohol leads to better drinking behavior: logically, it makes sense, and I'm sure there are studies on the subject. I just can't be arsed right now.
Why would people under the age of 17 have to have little locational privacy? Personally when I was 13-ish I simply stopped telling my parents where I am, usually through either flat out lying or through giving nonspecific information,
If they accepted non-specific info then they allowed you that privacy as a privilege for you out of their own free choice, which is different from you having a right to that privacy.
As for flat out lying, that's misbehavior, and prone to result in the grounding response when eventually discovered by parents either by asking around, or by covert tracking (covertly following you, or sending someone to covertly follow you and report on your whereabouts to the parents).
You see, what happens is that the teenager attempts to assert some control over their destiny (lying or not saying, who cares) and the parents either allow it or not. If they decide not to allow it and the teen doesn't back down, then you have trouble. You really can't control a teenager if he won't be controlled and at worst, you just might alienate them completely - it really depends on what the teen is doing more than them not telling you; by the time you've got a teenager, discipline doesn't work unless the teen allows it, so it's in the interests of the parents to not push too hard.
And how. Sometimes kids get lost in the forest and then run/hide from search parties because said rescuers are strangers, and apparently dying of exposure or starvation is more attractive than whatever kids are being convinced EVERYONE is out to do to them.
I'm sort of torn on that. On one hand, it isn't the kid's fault for having defective parents, but on the other hand, anyone stupid enough to hide from search and rescue deserves death.
5: which sex offenders are we drugging? There are about 600k SOs in the country right now, and maybe a thousand that are actually predators.
6: Where to you get off tagging someone like cattle after they've served their sentence? We don't do this to murderers or thieves, nor to the people who took the country to the cleaners last year.
"Think of the children" isn't a fallacy, it's a proven strategy for getting ridiculous things (like amber alerts and absurd penalties for sex offenders) passed. Also, slippery slopes aren't fallacies when you can demonstrate evidence for the slope actually existing. For that, look at the current surveillance society in britain and also how they implemented their gun ban. It's entirely plausible when the people in charge presume to know what's best and claim the power to do things for our own good.
I guess you could look into bujinkan; one of the major things I noticed when I was involved in it in maryland was that half the blackbelts were current cops looking for something between strong words and firearms. That said, two guys with knives are going to fuck you sideways if they know what they're doing. Unless you know you can take them (for instance, if you've been in combat at close quarters), just give them what they want. And yes, you never go somewhere with someone like that.
It sounds like the site is mailing the current password, which is all sorts of bad (most people duplicate passwords across sites, so this can compromise other sites that you know someone visits). As for mailing the new password vs. a reset link, you can expire the link in some time frame (an hour, perhaps) and make it single use. This means that the link will show up when the user is expecting it and limits the potential damage. Yes, it means that compromising someone's email is a very bad thing, but lots of sites have that as the only real form of identity anyway, so there's not that much to do, really.

Computers are not cars, and skills in maintaining AD don't really transfer into virt software - there's much more overlap between virt software.
Except that you presented it as a metric for the admins and not the system.

Upgrading to a new major revision of a core system component has non-trivial risks.
Running an unsupported release that hasn't been patched in 5 years is also a risk, and may be a SOX violation.

I was waiting to hear that the third party was run by the fired developers. I would've done the same.

hey, just because you don't like lager, don't rag on the company. That's mostly decent beer (except red stripe :))
Sometimes "they" will set you up such that, when failure happens, they blame you not themselves.
IT: "But I TOLD you it wouldn't work!" MGMT: "Yes. You told me. But you did not CONVINCE me."
Paraphrased from The Last King of Scotland.
Maybe next time they'll listen. Probably not, though - I'd be okay with them falling down an elevator shaft, though.

Heh, the first thing I thought about was one of the small bears mauling the pervert to death. Not really the lesson we want to send.

In order to stand trial for war crimes, don't you have to lose a war?
if you were a true geek, you would have first asked if that was a 1 GB memory stick, or a 1GiB of capacity,
If you used that GiB thing much more, I'll have to stab you in the neck.
