Depending on how much CO2 the machine creates, you may be coming up neutral or a bit ahead VS current oil extraction methods. After all, the machines that are used in oil-fields also use fuel and give off CO2.
Basically, you're lowering the need to extract raw/crude oil in favor of manufacturing it from plastic waste. It doesn't really affect your overall oil consumption/pollution - though it might affect pricing - but it does get rid of plastic waste buried in landfills. If they could similarly deal with stuff like heavy metals etc then we'd end up with much "cleaner" landfills.
Depends on the firewall. Not everyone has VLAN's segregation between all equipment. Moreover, it's not that uncommon to allow IPMI to internal desktop zones so that your techs can log in to them for management purposes (though smart people put that on a secured VLAN with tertiary security). In that case, however, you're now one pwned desktop machine away from a pwned server...
Because you went into decent detail about your processor, GPU, and RAM configuration but didn't mention them?
Also, the i7-960 is not 8 cores, it's 4 cores with Hyperthreading (~8 threads). It can act similar to 8 cores in some instances, but it's not quite the same... (not that you need 8 cores for games, as generally per-core performance is more important).
I'm not pointing fingers, I'm refuting that everyone from "that generation" is dead and beyond influence. There have been several diplomatic issues regarding politicians visiting the Shrine, as well as politicians making some pretty unpleasant public statements regarding the past treatment of other countries. Don't get me wrong, my own country's politicians have been pretty dumb in that regard at times - especially regarding treatment of natives - but to say that everything is rosy and perfect now in Japan is also a mis-statement. There are still some fairly well-placed people with some fairly twisted views regarding their neighbours.
Virtually everyone from that generation is dead or beyond any political influence
Except for the politicians that take trips to a shrine which contains war criminals, and various anti-korean sentiment and some pretty skewed views of the sexual enslavement (a.k.a comfort women) of foreign nationals during the Japanese invasion.
A "projected" OS sounds dumb to me. If you just want to get music from your phone to your stereo, then AD2P (bluetooth) works fine. For maps and other stuff, the phone can have a holster.
What I (and most people I know) want, is a stereo with a decent interface and functionality of a modern OS, without killing the phone's battery, and without needing a "phone" UI. That means maps, traffic updates, and music baked in. Let it tie in to my account so that I can purchase music and have it update the car's library whenever it has wireless (or 3G, I suppose) nearby. Let it have a GPS with Google Maps that updates automatically and is traffic-aware. It's OK if it pulls updates via the phone, but it shouldn't *require* the phone to work.
Most importantly, a dedicated OS means that there's still the ability to have a stereo-centric system that works with actual freakin' hardware knobs/buttons and not a bastardized touch interface for common controls like volume, prev/next, etc. Touch interfaces distract from driving, and also tend to have issues with certain types of weather (not to mention gloves in winter).
I'm still confused as to why they're going to Google rather than the website's registrar/hosting-provider and having it taken down. No website, no Google results.
I browsed through the court docket. I see the case is from "equustek solutions", but I fail to see what should be removed, and why. This mostly centers around "why we think we should have jurisdiction for a judgement" but not on what the basis of the block/judgement is.
Is this somebody removing a third-party? Not indexing their own site (that's easy, robots.txt)?
That should be OK for differential backups (depending on how often you make a "full"). If a file changes by 1 bit, that'll affect a byte. A differential will be written, but it hardly takes any space and you can still roll back.
Make a good reason to *check* backups every now and then though.
My wireless at home offers speeds in excess of a standard 10/100 connection. *however*
In most places you will have multiple cabled 10/100 connections, with a backplane that's capable of an aggregate >100MBps. The wifi, on the other handle, gets slower as more people pile on.
I'd imagine that the same applies to cellular wifi VS gigabit etc. I've also noticed that while cellular often has fast download speeds, the connection setup is often much slower than on ethernet etc
Depending on how well it can separate subjects, this could be quite useful in an airport for (non-descriminative) screening.
You've got one guy walking through whose heartrate is abnormally high, there's a decent change he's up to something inappropriate (smuggling, terrorism). The other possibility is that he has a fear of flying, but secondary screening should hopefully be able to determine that.
Even better, have an airport security person walk by him or just look him in the eye and smile, then see if his heart-rate goes up even more. Sudden jump in vitals... bingo!
Cash, when stolen, is gone. I'd rather not go back to the days of carrying a a hundred bucks or more in my wallet when going out for the night, walking back to my car in a dimly lit street surrounded by sketchy/drunk people.
Somebody steals my card - or card info - I cancel the card. It's done. I owe no debts so long as I watch my charges and report if something goes wrong
Somebody steals my wallet with my card. I cancel the card. It's done. I owe no debts so long as I report the card stolen
Somebody steal my cash.... the cash is gone, and I'm not getting it back.
What's irrefutable? There are still people who deny/refute the holocaust, and we're still fairly conflicted about climate change...
Until aliens land in the back-yard of a major city and do a meet-and-greet, it's still refutable for most folks. Even after that it probably still will be.
At the very least, the AMD FOSS driver hasn't broken any systems for me. The Nouveau driver, however, has consistently booted up various systems with modes that didn't work on the display, causing it to blank shortly after booting or when starting X.
I use a USB stick when dealing with client PC's. It's burned me enough times that I have memorized the need to put this on the kernel boot-line (basically, disable nouveau)

The scary things is - from a carbs/sugar perspective - the bottled OJ is often *worse* than the Coke. Seriously, look at the ingredients in the bottled juice you often get from dispensers... it's pretty sick.
Sure, the doctor isn't going to just recommend "stop cutting/head-bashing", he's probably going to prescribe some anti-depressants, recommend you see a shrink, etc. However to what extents are those protected disabilities?
These may be forms of mental illness, but they're not automatically disabilities (though they can be). There's also the differences between overeating, and eating too much of the wrong things. These would often have more in common with nicotine/alcohol/etc addiction, which again can have a varying range of impacts on one's ability to work (and/or legal implications for the workplace).
What are you going to run on the OS? At least if the OS is based on something known (even if the arch is different) you have a path for porting applications chains.
Does having a/. window open while waiting for a compile, an automated testing script, and various other things count?
When I say coasting, I mean "not doing one's job effectively." In terms of schools, this means that the teacher is sitting at his/her desk playing solitaire while good students flounder around trying to figure out the textbook, and less-good other students are just playing games online or attempting to see how many pennies they can fill a CD-ROM drive tray with...
Why does your *mom* have a card to *your* bank account?
You're close enough to your parent to have her with a direct line into your banking, but not enough to know when she's travelling to a foreign country for medical purposes?
Nothing wrong with retiring at 55. The problem is that some people are at work but have essentially "retired" (mentally and effectively) when they're 50, etc. Leaving the workforce at 55 is great. Expecting to "coast" with full pay and minimal effort through the last half-decade is not so much.
Honestly, quite often they're one and the same. * A few years left * Often don't want to be there, but can't retire yet * Don't want to (or can't) learn new teaching methods, technology, or topics. * Expect to be treated special due to age/seniority, especially by younger staff members
I've worked in multiple school districts. While there were some wonderful older teachers, the trouble-teachers were by far more in the camp of old and/or close-to-retirement VS young. They often didn't follow school rules, were disrespectful of younger staff, and generally not very effective at teaching. Their classes were ill-managed, and they tended to teach "the book" which means students were given some pages to read while the teacher played solitaire or napped at his/her (more often "her", but that could just be the gender distribution in my schools) desk.
Younger teachers were more active in monitoring their classes, more interactive with students, more involved with extracurriculars, and generally more easy to engage by both students and staff. There also made significantly less than their older counterparts. I don't know about firing, but perhaps a more normalized "performance-based" wage would be beneficial.
Again, this is not *all* old teachers, it's just that the curve tended to go that way. Getting set in one's ways and/or jaded can apply to many job types, but in education it's often fairly destructive to the students.

People who don't realize the product belongs to the big G? Not to mention those that have already bought the product.
With all these takeovers, I wonder how many products actually have any sort of Google branding visible at the time of purchase.

What, deliberately "losing" incriminating emails due to a "technical issue."
In the private sector, that shit gets you promoted (at least until somebody has to take the fall, then under the bus you go).
