you can fix that - require that the car be stopped before delivering the message. If I were into lexus instead of boy racer cars, my first question for the sales guy would be which fuse to pull.
Not too hot on the math, are we? $5/day is $150, and $10/day is $300. I'm far from poor and that sort of thing would make a significant difference to me.
You don't know either, so there:). My point is that yes, most poor people are there because of bad decisions surrounding money (duh). Ironically, the attempts to not appear poor are often what keep people poor.
Geez, whine much? I'm slagging on the people who put cable and a plasma TV ahead of feeding their damn kids right. why bring retirees and homeless vets into it? Do you really think they're the majority of the poor?
Part of being poor is fucked up priorities. Some simply don't have the money, but the majority are poor because they spend their money on stupid shit. Murder mom's MMO toon, make her cook, and start saving $5-$10/day just from that.
Depending on the specific sort of breach, making sure CC numbers and PII aren't in a commonly accessible DB will cut out a lot of the problem. Depending on what sort of analysis is being done, you might expose customer zipcodes and ids to them, but, of course, YMMV.
Most people are going to respect "Music must be ripped using THIS easy to use software so that we can secure against viruses." a lot more than "Music is not allowed in our company".
You know, you could just allow iPods - you could even hand out nanos as an onboarding gift. Solves the ripping problem nicely.
Solar panels have a 20-25 year lifespan, then toxic batteries are recyclable, and you can eliminate the nasty production chemicals by making solar concentrators - works fine in the desert. But yeah, I like nuke plants.
Because solar panels still use toxic crap to manufacture them. anyway, you're misinterpreting - he's just saying that everything has risks and a downside.
Nope, he wants them to cut out the slackers regardless of the economic climate - if demand slackens, you have extra money to keep your good people for when it comes back up.
I'm afraid the right lessons aren't being learned when you see the Big 3 CEOs being lampooned for not taking a bus when they were asking for 20 billions, while nobody asked the bank CEOs how many dozens of millions they spent on blow, hookers and cocaine in the past months, and the fuckers got several hundred billions, for doing nothing but fuck the whole economy up.
Were you even paying attention? The Big 3 were being mocked for being unrepentant assholes who had spent 20 years digging their own graves, while the Wall street bailout nearly caused a riot. I'm still shocked that there weren't any stories about wall street traders getting assassinated. Would've expected at least something.
No, it's spun in a way that jibes with their historical behavior. The fact that it's 9 years old is not terribly relevant, and mostly points to MS' packaging, which frustrates fixing one bug in both XP and 2k fairly easily. Sure, it costs money to maintain 2-3 versions of a product, which is one reason for the treadmill. The problem I have is that upgrades these days are often of little benefit to customers - win2k is just fine for most people; the apis that IE7 uses aren't necessary - firefox doesn't use them - and my take is that a lot of the use of new APIs is more due to IE engineers eating lunch with DirectX engineers than actual need.
as far as they're concerned doing so is non-trivial and it's not in their best interests to bother with an aging platform.
That's pretty much what I said, just spun differently. MS likes to keep people on the upgrade platform, and making IE7 tied to the new version does just that.
The second one; if your DB is big and busy, then a huge ass transaction to dump the whole thing is just not happening. I like the idea of hooking up a replicated slave - you can tell it to stop processing logs, back it up, and then tell it to play catchup without impacting the online DB.
I mean any database that support transactions(That is anything, other then mysql using MyISAM) should be able to
just run the backup in it's own transaction.
Try it some time - see what that does to the Redo logs.
I'd like to point out that using RAID rebuild as a backup strategy is a massive abuse of the system and will likely be far less reliable than something more aligned with your use case. Hell, even tarballs will beat this.

Can't buy a Lexus, sorry Toyota. Guess it's a 911 for me after all...
I know. ibi needs to die.
Get with the times, accept the ibi!
Why? Exabyte is 2^40, GB 2^30, and MB 2^20 - simple.

If you're living on $500/mo, it pretty much is.

GM's problems are decades in the making - it has nothing to do with the current problems. Fuck them.

generally stock prices go UP after an announcement like this.
Like that matters; the only thing that changes is when you buy and when you sell.
Yeah, Secretaries are more important - they keep secrets :)

We're talking about OSes here - DOS is a program loader with an attitude.

Rumor has it they are planning on doing this every month until everyone is in the top 50%.
Then they're going to rename the company to Wobegon Inc.
